Chapter 233: Dungeon Anomaly
"I finally have a cultivation method that directly improves my spiritual power." In the adventurer's template, only the magic attribute could also improve spiritual power.
And the Sword Soul template could provide a fixed spiritual power improvement through leveling up.
And now, he just needed to continuously cultivate the Sword Control Art to improve his own spiritual power.
To turn qi into a sword, to control a sword with qi, to turn intent into a sword, thus proving the unity of man and sword.
Now he could condense sword aura into a sword, and he could also release his sword intent to kill enemies.
Because his current proficiency was not enough, the spiritual pressure caused by his current sword intent was not enough, and the burden on his spiritual power was also not small.
Now, he could release a large-area sword intent once every ten minutes. It was just that because he was still not proficient enough, he could not distinguish between friend and foe during the release.
Currently, he could make enemies of adventurer level Lv4 and below temporarily lose their combat ability, or fall to the ground.
If it were an enemy of Lv2 or below, then he could directly make them faint.
And if it were an ordinary human, the intensity was enough to make them bleed from their seven orifices and die.
It could be said that sword intent could be completely comparable to the so-called Conqueror's Haki, and its upper limit absolutely exceeded Conqueror's Haki.
Bell and the others said goodbye to Liam. Allen hesitated for a long time and finally walked over.
"Liam, thank you. I have seen a new direction for improving my strength. Now I can concentrate on improving my own strength."
Liam nodded, "Don't worry about Syr's safety. She's at The Hearthfire Manor at night and at The Hostess of Fertility restaurant during the day.
If you are really worried about her safety, you can ask your sister Anya or other waitresses at the restaurant to pick her up."
"Hmph! My foolish sister, I'll leave her to you, Liam!"
Watching Allen and the others leave, Liam then once again returned to his own bedroom.
Through the spar with Ottar just now, he had also quickly mastered this power that had suddenly sublimated.
Morning arrived. At this time, in the Hestia Familia, Liam and the others had already rested well.
Liam looked at his own squad. Apart from Wien, the other Xenos could arrange their own time freely outside of work.
Therefore, Liam currently only needed to manage Wien, Mikoto, and the others.
This was the current configuration of Liam's adventure team:
Adventurer Team Captain: Liam Moon.
Team Members: Ryuu Lion, Ais Wallenstein, Liliruca Arde, Sanjouno Haruhime, Wien, Yamato Mikoto, Cassandra, Daphne Lauros.
The number of the entire adventurer team had already increased to nine, and the number of Lv6 adventurers had reached three!
This scale had undoubtedly become the second in Orario. The first was Loki, and the Freya Familia had already been completely disbanded.
It was just that Liam was still not satisfied with this. Liam looked at everyone present, "One last check of the supplies you are carrying.
Apart from Lili, everyone must prepare a personal backpack. Inside, there must be three days' worth of emergency food and water.
Healing, antidote, and magic potions must each be prepared in three portions. Stamina potions should be carried in at least one portion depending on the situation."
These supplies, no matter how much space was saved, three days' worth of food and water together still took up the space of six 500ml beverage bottles.
That is, a space of three liters of water.
This time, Liam was preparing to go below the fortieth floor, so everyone, apart from their armaments and armor, had to carry at least supplies occupying six liters of water.
Besides that, Liam also had Lili prepare some camping supplies, various seasonings, cooking utensils, and so on.
At this time, Lili looked at Liam with a hesitant expression, "Captain, are we really going to eat monster meat?"
"Mmm, not only are we going to eat it, we're going to eat it alive! Later I will restrain the monster. While it's not dead, you will cut off its meat.
This way, after I kill the monster, the meat that has been cut off will not disappear.
Afterward, as long as it's roasted at high temperature with fire, there will most likely be no problem."
Lili swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Lili's stomach is starting to hurt!"
Eating monster meat. Everyone present looked at each other.
Ryuu coughed, "The deeper the expedition, the scarcer our adventurer's living supplies become.
Therefore, high-level adventurers can only make a choice. Either eat monster meat, or return to the surface due to a lack of supplies."
Ais also added, "The deeper we explore the Dungeon, the more materials we get.
And the more weight we carry, the more our agility will be slowed down, thus leading to flaws in the face of strong enemies."
Liam frowned and thought for a moment, "Since that's the case, then all the materials before the thirtieth floor, apart from the super rare ones, don't take any of the others."
Lili's heart ached so much she was about to cry, "Okay!"
Liam carefully sensed everyone's state, and then said seriously: "I know everyone wants to raise their level, but I hope everyone will try their best to break through themselves.
Only after your ability scores can no longer be improved should you consider upgrading. And the accomplishment of a great feat is considered achieved as long as it is a self-breakthrough."
Afterward, Liam led Ais and the others and directly arrived at the entrance of the artificial labyrinth.
From here, they could directly reach the eighteenth floor of the Dungeon. After reaching the eighteenth floor, Liam continued to walk at the very front of the team.
And Ais and Ryuu formed a triangular formation with Liam, protecting the other lower-level dependants.
In this adventure team of Liam's, Haruhime was undoubtedly the weakest in strength, but also the most important.
So he specially instructed Ryuu and Ais to pay more attention to Haruhime's safety.
Afterward, Liam began to act as the main force in the Dungeon exploration. The sword aura he released became the most efficient harvester.
Just like that, the group directly broke through the White Palace and then reached the 50th floor.
It took a total of three days. This efficiency was two days higher than the Loki Familia's.
Excluding the time saved by the artificial labyrinth that led directly to the eighteenth floor, Liam and the others' efficiency still surpassed the Loki Familia's.
Not finding the floor lord on the forty-ninth floor, Liam felt very regretful.
Balor, the floor lord whose strength had reached Lv7, would be a very good practical combat target for Liam and his group.
Dungeon Fiftieth Floor.
Here, there was a wilderness full of gray trees, a river that was like a cracked earth, and a large green forest.
Above their heads was a series of stone pillars. The continuous high-intensity battle had made everyone's spirit a little tired.
And this fiftieth floor was also considered a safe floor.
Liam looked at Ais and the others, "Let's rest for half a day now!"
"That's great!"
Haruhime breathed a sigh of relief. The main force was Liam. Therefore, to train her own magic power attribute, she would often give Liam a level sublimation.
Therefore, after getting a rest time, she immediately went limp.
Ryuu, Mikoto, and the others began to start a fire and cook. Liam glanced at the ingredients and immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, out of sight, out of mind.
The cooking of monster meat, actually, everyone didn't have much experience. Relatively speaking, Ryuu was a bit more skilled.
Liam hurriedly maintained his weapons. In his Selfless Sword Domain, after spending enough money, there were already a full one hundred and ninety-two First-Grade armaments.
Among them, one hundred were indestructible armaments. The rare metals he had obtained from Hedin and the Freya Familia's warehouse, he had already commissioned the Goibniu Familia to forge.
Apart from Goibniu, he had also commissioned the Hephaestus Familia.
These two major forging forces in Orario were undoubtedly the most suitable for forging armaments for him.
While resting, Liam was thinking, "As my strength improves, the number of armaments I will need in the future will multiply.
The next time Tempest Style is upgraded, the total number of stored blades will increase to nearly four hundred. The time after that will be a total of nearly eight hundred! And then one thousand six hundred, three thousand two hundred!
Fortunately, the current me can turn qi into a sword, and turn intent into a sword. With turning qi into a sword and turning intent into a sword, I can only condense and control one blade at a time, and it will disappear after one attack.
However, the condensation efficiency of turning qi into a sword is very high, the cooldown is very short, and the burden is also very small.
As my Sword Control Art becomes stronger and stronger, the number of flying swords I can control at the same time will also increase."
The entire fiftieth floor, the area where Liam and the others were currently located was a huge flat rock.
And in the distance, there were many similar rocks.
If only natural factors were considered, it was very much like a glacial erratic cluster.
That is, after a glacier melts, it carries huge rock blocks (with a diameter of up to a hundred meters) that it has entrained during its movement to a distant place.
When the glacier retreats, these giant rocks are left on the surface, forming isolated giant rock clusters.
Of course, considering that this was the deep area of the Dungeon, it was also possible that it was a change in terrain caused by a battle between high-level monsters.
"Captain Liam, the meal is ready!"
Hearing the voice, Liam immediately stood up. No matter how bad it tasted, he had to eat it to replenish his stamina.
If he couldn't even overcome this kind of difficulty, then clearing the Dungeon was completely a fool's dream!
The taste of the food was better than imagined. Apart from the poor presentation and the poor taste, everything else was acceptable.
After eating, Liam immediately fell into a deep sleep. Ais's sleep efficiency was second only to Liam's.
About two hours passed. A tremor came from the ground.
Liam immediately woke up from his dream. The tremor on the ground made him frown.
"What happened?"
He immediately stood up, and then looked into the distance.
A large group of caterpillar monsters were approaching them. These caterpillar monsters were a bit like caterpillars, and their physique was abnormally large.
Each one, just standing up on half of its body, was taller than a four-story building.
According to Liam's knowledge of these caterpillar monsters, the other party could spray corrosive venom. Even a First-Grade armament would be corroded.
And its own blood also had the strength to corrode a level five adventurer.
Liam looked at everyone present, "These are caterpillar monsters. Their blood and long-range attacks both contain strong acid and can corrode First-Grade armaments.
So we can only attack from a distance! Everyone, be careful."
"Yes!"
"Lili, you are in charge of commanding the tactics. I will attack first!"
After speaking, Liam alone went to the front of this large group of caterpillar monsters.
"So many caterpillar monsters!"
Liam soared into the air and looked into the distance. "Is the entrance to the fifty-first floor blocked?
Then we just need to kill all the caterpillar monsters on the entire fiftieth floor."
Currently, the ceiling and the ground of the fiftieth floor were almost all covered by these caterpillar monsters.
The areas that had not yet been covered were only near the entrance of the fiftieth floor where Liam and the others were.
Liam took out Sloth from his pocket. A series of streams of light flashed on his body.
After being enhanced by the power of the thunderflame sword aura and other forces, the long-range sword aura with a freezing attribute spread towards them.
"Sword Control Art - Sword Intent!"
Liam released a powerful sword intent towards the position above his head. He only saw the surrounding light being distorted.
Then, one after another, the caterpillar monsters' consciousness became blurred. They fell from the ceiling and crashed onto the ground at least two hundred meters away.
This wave of sword intent attack caused dozens of caterpillar monsters to fall to the ground.
"Can I only make the caterpillar monsters mentally dazed for a moment? My Sword Control Art still needs to be strengthened."
Afterward, Liam released Raging Dragon Slash in the air and fell to the ground.
Thunder, flames, and ice mist spread from where Liam fell to the surroundings.
The ice mist sword aura froze the caterpillar monsters, and then they cracked into countless fragments.
"It seems the efficiency is a bit poor like this."
Liam looked at these caterpillar monsters. This number was just right for using the Selfless Sword Domain!
A blue and white Selfless Sword Aura ripple unfolded, and then nearly two hundred armaments were faintly visible within.
"If I wrap the armaments with my Selfless Sword Aura, then even if it's an ordinary weapon, as long as the sword aura shield doesn't break, the weapon probably won't break either!"
Afterward, Liam covered these armaments with his Selfless Sword Aura one by one, and then they flew towards the hundreds of thousands of caterpillar monsters.
He only saw one after another, streams of light appearing from behind Liam, and then hitting one after another, the caterpillar monsters.
"BOOM! BOOM!"
He only saw one by one, the armaments, like meteors, bombarding the caterpillar monsters on the ceiling and the ground.
A large number of caterpillar monsters turned into magic stones and disappeared. Ryuu and Ais were providing cover on the side.
Ais's storm could be both offensive and defensive, while Ryuu's magic attack could maintain a safe distance.
Nearly two hundred armaments were attacked in turns by Liam at a launch speed of twenty per second.
He found that purely using the barrage of indestructible armaments was more convenient than him applying a sword aura enhancement.
About ten minutes passed. The thousands of caterpillar monsters on the entire floor had been completely killed by Liam.
And Liam's Sword Soul template, because of this, directly leveled up by one, directly reaching level 66.
Mikoto stared blankly at the movements of Liam and the others. A sense of loss appeared in her heart.
Although Liam hadn't said it, her strength could no longer keep up with their pace.
Not only that, but it should be said that this team had already reached the point where it needed to be divided.
After everything had settled down, and Lili had collected all the caterpillar monsters' magic stones.
Mikoto came before Liam. She bowed to the other party, "Captain Liam, I think we need to split up. I'm really sorry."
Daphne was the same, "Sorry, Captain. We are starting to drag you down now."
Liam's gaze looked at Haruhime and the others, "Do you all think so too?"
Haruhime also felt guilty in her heart. She could be said to be the weakest in the entire team.
"Captain, I think I should also be in a separate team. I don't want to affect your improvement speed."
Liam's gaze looked at everyone seriously, "You are my companions. There is no such thing as who is dragging whom down.
Splitting up is fine. I will wait for your arrival in the front, everyone."
"Yes! Captain!"
Liam looked at the current team configuration and thought for a moment. "Dungeon expedition, the scale of adventurers is also a very important part.
So, I will now start to divide our adventurer team!"
