Chapter 194: Using the Magic Card, Swords of Revealing Light
What was going on with these skulls that fell from the Juggernaut's body?
Why did it feel like they were the Juggernaut's external health bar?
This was a situation Liam had never encountered before. At this time, a bone-like mechanical arm had already extended from his back, installing a duel disk on his arm.
"Using the magic card, Swords of Revealing Light!"
The Juggernaut, just as it was about to attack, was hit by three swords of light that appeared from above its head, its entire body once again becoming stiff.
"I don't believe your health bar is infinite!"
Liam used Thrusting Smash, arriving at Ryuu's side at high speed and placing her to the side.
Then, from his Selfless Sword Domain, he drew Wrath. Liam gripped Wrath with both hands, "Second form!"
Wrath, in that instant, expanded into its eight-meter form.
With the infusion of an even more massive Selfless Sword Aura, the entire body of the Zhanmadao expanded dramatically, finally turning into a thorny greatsword with a total length of eight meters.
The greatsword's edge and body were both condensed from sharp, fiery red thorns.
Raging fire coiled around the entire body of the greatsword, spiraling. The thorns even twisted slightly, as if they were a living thing, chewing...
"Illusion Sword Dance!"
Holding Wrath tightly in his hand, the thorny greatsword with a total length of eight meters slashed at the Juggernaut, which was twenty meters from head to tail.
Ryuu's face was pale. She was both nervous and excited as she watched Liam attack the Juggernaut.
She wanted the Juggernaut to suffer more pain before it died, but she was also worried that Liam's current state could not be maintained for long, which would lead to him being counter-killed by the Juggernaut.
The heavy greatsword, carrying an abnormally exaggerated and swift attack speed, scraped off a large amount of flesh from the Juggernaut's wounds.
When the skulls no longer fell from the Juggernaut's body, its figure began to be chiseled apart bit by bit by Liam, crushed into debris.
"BOOM!"
Finally, its entire body was burned by the high-temperature flames, turning into specks of red fiery debris, dissipating in the air.
「Exp +59777」
The twenty-odd sharp blades on the ground all returned to their positions at this time, teleporting into the Selfless Sword Domain.
The sky was like a heavy red snow falling. These flames burned the Juggernaut's remains to ashes.
By the time they landed on Liam and Ryuu's bodies, they had almost lost their temperature, leaving only a faint red glow that was slowly dissipating.
Liam supported Ryuu and brought the two to the vicinity of the entrance, letting her lie on his lap.
This place, under normal circumstances, was relatively suitable for…
"Liam, thank you. You helped me deal with my enemy! It's just that, isn't our current posture a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it?"
Their actions before had been even bolder.
However, Liam was not the type to force others. If Ryuu insisted on getting up, it wasn't impossible to comply.
Liam's gaze was fixed on Ryuu. The young woman was blushing at this time.
He guessed that she was being duplicitous. Since that was the case.
"I refuse. You are a wounded person now. So, to recover your stamina as soon as possible, let's just sleep like this for a while."
Not long after Ryuu had fallen asleep, Lyd and Gros, led by Wien, arrived at the entrance of the thirty-seventh floor.
Wien immediately came up to Liam's side, looking at Liam with concern.
"Liam, are you and Ryuu alright?"
Ryuu immediately woke up, her face flushed red as she knelt beside Liam.
"I'm fine."
"I'm~ fine~!"
After killing the Juggernaut, although he hadn't obtained any dropped items, the experience of the Sword Soul template and the improvement of his ability scores from the divine Falna, as well as the great feat, had all been obtained.
Lyd took out two tubes of potion and placed them in front of Liam, "Liam, take these. They were prepared for you by Marie."
Actually, Liam had long since regarded Marie as his friend.
If, because he was injured, he had to let Marie bleed for him to drink, then wasn't he not treating her as a friend at all, but as a blood bag?
From a friendly relationship to a parasitic relationship?
He took the two tubes of potion, a decision already made in his heart.
Perhaps Marie's other body fluids also have a healing effect, besides her blood and flesh.
If he told her some sad, emotional novels, let her have a good cry, could the tears she shed also be made into a decent recovery potion?
This was different from updating ability scores which required blood. There were many alternatives for recovery potions, while updating ability scores could only be done by a god.
Except in a desperate crisis, Liam was not prepared to use such a precious potion.
This potion, which could reattach a severed arm just by drinking it, was basically the most precious potion in Orario.
If it were to be made by a master alchemist, it would probably become a legendary medicine. For example, paired with other products to refine a Philosopher's Stone or something?
"Ryuu, do you need to drink a recovery potion now?"
"Is this potion blood?"
Ryuu's gaze also became serious. She looked at Lyd seriously, "Whose blood is this? How can blood provide a healing effect?"
Being stared at by Ryuu's almost tangible gaze, Lyd felt a burst of guilt.
"This is Marie's blood. A mermaid's blood has astonishing healing effects."
"I refuse! How can I drink Marie's blood to heal myself? Besides, we still have other healing potions now.
In any case, thank you for coming to support us."
Gros, seeing that the time was about right, became a little anxious. "Liam, since you're fine, I'll be leaving first."
His perception was very sharp. It had only been a few days since they had last met, yet Liam's strength had once again shown a significant improvement.
This made Gros also want to go to the deep levels of the Dungeon for training, just like that big black bull.
Lyd was just about to reminisce with Liam and the others but was pulled away by Gros.
They, these Xenos, had come to the Dungeon to provide support purely because they had heard the news from Gros.
After learning from Liam that the Juggernaut had been killed by Liam and Ryuu, the purpose of their trip had been completed.
After separating from Lyd and Gros, these two Xenos, the three of them, Liam's group, began to return upwards.
Because the process of returning was a bit boring, and the real effective battle of this expedition had come from the training in the thirty-seventh-floor duel field.
Since he could rapidly increase his level before, was it also possible to quickly raise it to level sixty with this?
"Ryuu, after we meet up with the others, I have something to announce."
"Mmm."
Because her magic power was almost depleted, although she had rested for a while, the consumption of magic power and spirit still left her in a not-so-good state.
Wien, holding her weapon, wanted to help, but was also worried about causing trouble, appearing somewhat hesitant.
After cleaning up the nearby monsters, Liam also noticed this situation.
"Don't worry, it's still the old rules. I'll be the main combatant when advancing. On the return trip, you can join the battle according to the situation."
"Okay!"
Wien nodded vigorously. Her main job now was to be on guard for Ryuu.
Liam's group of three continued to subjugate for a period of time, and finally met up with Mikoto and the others on the twenty-eighth floor.
After some pleasantries, Lili pointed at the surroundings.
"Liam, look, there are really so few monsters around here. We haven't been attacked by monsters yet. This place is almost like a safe floor."
"Don't let your guard down. There are still monsters on this floor. However, it's no problem to rest here for a short time."
On the floor below each floor lord, it could basically be treated as a safe floor.
But in terms of safety, one could only say that none were as safe as the eighteenth floor. And safer still were naturally the surface of Orario and Babel, the gods' residences, and the heavens.
"It might be because the birth of the floor lord has taken away the energy of the next floor, so not many monsters can be born."
"That possibility is quite reasonable."
Ryuu nodded seriously, "Our current understanding of the Dungeon is not comprehensive enough. For so many years, the Dungeon will have new changes every time.
Our view of the Dungeon is also constantly changing, either actively or passively."
Telling everyone present about the battle with Ryuu in the lower levels, Mikoto and the others were naturally shocked.
Lili even exclaimed, "The Juggernaut is that ridiculous? It actually devoured Udaeus?"
"It should be. After all, at that time, the Juggernaut already possessed Udaeus's earth spike ability.
To obtain this ability, it could basically only be obtained by devouring Udaeus, right?"
Liam looked at everyone present, "I remember that for an adventurer's ability score, as long as one ability score reaches D-rank, plus one great feat, one can undergo a level sublimation.
But everyone's goal should not stop there, right?
I only underwent a level sublimation after almost all my ability scores had reached their theoretical limits."
When these words were said, everyone was shocked and didn't know how to reply.
"So, I hope that everyone doesn't rush to sublimate their level. Only after raising their ability scores to their own limits should they consider the subsequent sublimation."
Ais stood up, her hands excitedly grabbing Liam's arms. "You mean every time, all your ability scores have reached the SSS-grade theoretical limit of 1200 points or more before you level up?"
Liam nodded, "Except for Lv1, when I hadn't awakened my magic. At that time, apart from magic, all my other ability scores were above 1260 points when I upgraded."
Mikoto, Lili, and the others looked at each other.
No wonder Liam could be so ridiculously strong. Just the fact that his ability scores basically reached SSS every time before he leveled up already surpassed the common sense of this world.
As his level and strength increased, the current Liam was already very close to a first-class Lv5 adventurer.
He was eager to continue to raise his level.
"So, I want to ask you all, are you willing to follow me directly to the thirty-seventh-floor duel field to fight?
High-intensity combat naturally also represents a rapid improvement in ability scores."
Although it was a bit risky, in Liam's current team, Ryuu herself was a powerhouse on the verge of level five.
Ais was the same, having been stuck at level five for a long time.
Although Liam was Lv4, he himself was sufficient to solo-kill the thirty-seventh floor lord, Udaeus.
Such a team, wanting to train in the thirty-seventh-floor Colosseum, was not something absolutely impossible.
"Alright, it's not impossible."
The others followed suit and nodded.
Afterward was to rest, replenish food and water, and then rest.
Then Liam led the group towards the thirty-seventh floor. This time, Liam also began to let everyone participate.
For Cassandra and Lili, this floor was already very difficult.
However, as long as Liam was there.
The benefits of fighting on this floor were significantly greater.
DanMachi 37th Floor Colosseum.
Earthborn, lizardmen, and so on, emerged endlessly in the duel field.
A large number of monsters were like a tide, continuously being born from the walls of the duel field.
Then they were once again killed by Liam, Ryuu, Ais, and the others.
On Liam's side, he kept his Selfless Sword Domain open at all times.
Once a Peluda was generated, Liam would throw his weapon out and shoot the other party.
If a rescue was needed, Liam could then teleport through the thrown weapon.
Mikoto looked at this scene in surprise, "Is this space magic?"
Liam instantly returned, "This is a derivative use of the skill I comprehended. You can also try it.
Generally speaking, even if there are only one or two skills, as long as you study them for a long enough time, you can also split and reorganize their characteristics to become new skills."
Compared to Mikoto's gravity magic, the space magic displayed by the current Liam was clearly more rare and practical.
Liam's figure flashed throughout the entire duel field. One by one, the difficult monsters were slain by Liam.
Liam's adventurer team directly turned into two small teams. Liam fought alone, while Ais, Ryuu, and the remaining people formed a small team.
The two small teams cooperated with each other and directly began to fight in this high-pressure environment.
Here, most of the monsters' attention was attracted by Liam, directly ignoring the figures of Mikoto and the others.
Looking at the experience point increase on the Sword Soul template, the corners of Liam's mouth couldn't help but rise.
There had never been such a wonderful start.
Of course, to avoid injuring his teammates, the pressure everyone had to bear was also unprecedentedly high.
Unconsciously, Liam had already forgotten how many monsters he had killed.
It was just that apart from Liam, the weapons of the others all showed damage in this high-intensity battle.
Because of this, Liam had to stop continuing the battle.
Apart from Ais's weapon being in relatively good condition, the weapons of the others either needed major repairs or were directly broken.
"To actually encounter this situation? It seems that everyone needs an indestructible weapon."
Although their weapons were very good, they were damaged so quickly. Mainly because the monster intensity here was too high, so they could only use the weapon's durability to avoid being injured themselves.
This money needed to be spent. Liam was not a stingy person.
He glanced at his Sword Soul template. Now his template level had just risen to 36, with 80% in the experience bar.
"Let's go. After we return to the surface, everyone will buy an indestructible armament!"
"Oh!~"
"The captain is the best!"
Lili and the others began to look forward to their new weapons. Liam, on the other hand, began to clear the way in front with Ryuu and Ais.
Before long, the group returned to the surface again.
At the same time, they brought out a large amount of spoils from the Dungeon.
The results of this battle were very fruitful, and everyone's face was filled with a brilliant smile.
"Count the spoils! We'll sell them at the Adventurer's Guild!"
