Chapter 234: Corrupted Spirit
"Our Familia, the first team will be me, Ryuu, Ais, and Haruhime. The second team will be the remaining members."
Hearing Liam divide the teams like this, Haruhime clearly felt it was incredible. "Captain Liam, my strength should be in the second team. Why divide the teams like this?"
"Haruhime, this division is the most reasonable. Pressure is also motivation. Your ability is crucial.
Therefore, no matter what, I will do my best to help you improve your strength."
Haruhime was worthy of being a fox-eared girl. The ears on her head and the tail behind her were both fluffy.
Coupled with the other party's overly alluring figure, Liam felt that Haruhime had a lot of room for development.
In the face of a higher-pressure environment, Haruhime's own strength would definitely improve more efficiently.
Liam rubbed Haruhime's head, and then looked at the members of the second team. "To be honest, I don't want to split the team.
But according to the information given by the Adventurer's Guild, the fifty-second floor of the Dungeon will be subjected to fireball bombardment from a deeper level.
The current me cannot take everyone to dodge this kind of attack at the same time."
The fireballs erupted by the fire dragon on the fifty-eighth floor would be able to penetrate the floors from the fifty-eighth floor and bombard the fifty-second floor.
Just this attack that penetrated nine floors, its power was really too exaggerated.
Afterward, Liam came to the front of Mikoto and the others again, "Don't worry, Mikoto, Daphne, Lili, Cassandra, Wien, I have also seen your efforts.
This split is also for the reunion of the next expedition."
Fels's voice came from the communication magic stone.
Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters around the fiftieth floor had been cleaned up, Liam connected the communication magic stone.
"Liam, an anomaly has appeared in the Dungeon. For example, the food storage on the twenty-fourth floor needs to be investigated..."
Liam listened to Fels's analysis, and so he also explained the situation he had encountered here.
"Fels, we encountered a monster on the fiftieth floor. It's a worm or caterpillar-shaped caterpillar monster..."
Inside the communication magic stone, Fels was silent for a moment, "It seems the anomaly in the Dungeon is even trickier than I thought.
Liam, please investigate the Dungeon."
"Okay!"
Liam breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that, for now, at least we don't have to split the team this time.
Still the old rules. On the way back, from the fiftieth to the thirtieth floor, I will only step in when you are in danger."
"Okay!"
While leading Mikoto and the others back, Liam thought a lot.
For example, the issue of reorganizing the personnel of the expedition team, and the issue of improving the strength of the Familia members.
According to the current efficiency of strength improvement, and his understanding of the plot of this world.
The strength of these teammates of his was still too poor, and he did not want to give up on them just like that.
After thinking about it, it seemed that the only way was to carry out a more rigorous special training for them.
The improvement of ability scores was very simple. Whichever ability was trained, that ability would be improved, unless one's own potential was fully developed, or one's mentality and will were completely exhausted.
Dungeon Thirty-Seventh Floor, the White Palace.
Liam sized up the state of the crowd. It was said that on the return trip from the fiftieth floor, he would only step in depending on the situation.
In fact, the monsters from the fiftieth to the fortieth floor, their strength, even if it was just one, a team of many Lv2s would need to pay an astonishing amount of fighting spirit to barely resist.
And this was with the enhancement of Haruhime's level sublimation, that they could barely kill them.
"Is it still too much of a stretch?"
Deep-level monsters, from the fortieth floor onwards, the number of Lv4 monsters was very frequent.
Under the enhancement of Haruhime's level sublimation magic, now the amplification magic had changed from fifteen minutes at level one to twenty minutes at level two.
And its cooldown time had also been reduced from ten minutes to nine minutes.
Liam, Ryuu, and Ais observed the performance of the other members. In the process of this return trip, he only needed to use his flying sword to kill the monsters from a distance.
Then, in the process of Daphne and the others maintaining their level sublimation, they would always maintain an attack from one Lv4 monster.
"The improvement from this kind of actual combat is much better than sparring with humans. It's just that compared to solo killing monsters, the stimulation of potential is still a bit weaker."
Liam looked at this scene and said softly.
Ais looked at Liam, "Liam, I want more power. After we send them back to the surface, shall we go on an expedition again?
Just you, me, and the other members of the first team."
Liam shook his head slightly, "Ais, we are a team. If it's not absolutely necessary, I would prefer to fight with all of you together.
The fortieth floor of the Dungeon, its area is already equivalent to all of Orario.
If I can leave Mikoto and the others behind, then in the near future, I will also leave you behind.
Not to mention the Dungeon after the fortieth floor, the number of monsters is even more exaggerated.
To form a team with strong members that has both numbers and strength is a very necessary thing!"
His gaze once again looked at Haruhime and Ryuu, "I guess after the fiftieth or even sixtieth floor, the number of monsters we have to face at the same time will be at least in the tens of thousands!"
Haruhime's two ears drooped. She looked at Liam, trembling, "Mr. Liam, isn't this number a bit too exaggerated?"
Liam was silent for a few seconds, "Just now on the fiftieth floor, the number of caterpillar monsters we encountered was already in the thousands. Then after the fiftieth floor, or even the sixtieth floor, the number of monsters will definitely be even more exaggerated!"
Ais, hearing Liam's analysis, also calmed down.
"So, what you mean, Liam, is that we have to improve the strength of the entire Familia."
Liam nodded, "Yes, and not just our Familia. It's best to lead all of Orario and improve the average strength of all adventurers together."
Lili's face was a bit conflicted, "Liam, aren't we at too much of a disadvantage this way?
We're all adventurers. In the Dungeon, it's supposed to be a competitive relationship! If you do this, our Familia's competitive advantage will be gone."
Liam raised his hand. Sword aura was released from his hand, and then it instantly condensed into a transparent blue and white blade.
Afterward, Liam gently slashed at the ground. An invisible spiritual impact suddenly spread out towards the surroundings.
The light in the surroundings was distorted in an instant and dimmed a little.
"BOOM!"
A Skeleton Ram, standing upside down on the ceiling in the shadows, fell to the ground like dumplings.
Afterward, Liam threw the qi sword in his hand. It instantly turned into a flying fish wandering in the air and killed these Skeleton Rams at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Liam was secretly pleased. As his proficiency with Sword Control Art increased, his sword intent group attack could already distinguish between friend and foe.
This was a very big breakthrough.
Haruhime's eyes widened, "Captain, what ability is this?"
"This is sword intent. You can think of it as me releasing a blade-shaped spiritual impact.
This kind of attack specifically targets the enemy's spirit and soul.
It's like how ordinary humans, in front of a tiger, will be affected by the other's aura and presence.
And my sword intent is countless times sharper than this kind of aura and presence!" Liam looked at Lili, "Lili, I have only two goals at the moment. To improve my strength, and to strengthen the Hestia Familia.
And for me to improve the strength of all the adventurers in Orario, to put it bluntly, I will only give them the most basic, weakened version of the sword art breathing method."
"And, while we are teaching our members, we ourselves will also understand our own power better.
No matter what, it's a deal that won't lose money."
While teaching his own sword art to others, it was also a tempering of his own sword art, a sublimation of his comprehension.
As time passed, Liam and the others arrived at the seventeenth floor of the Dungeon.
Fels said there was a situation here, but Liam and the others did not see any problems.
Ryuu observed her surroundings seriously, "The situation here looks very normal. No, it's too quiet here. There are no monsters at all!"
Just as Ryuu finished speaking, a large number of red ripples appeared on the walls within the seventeenth floor.
Afterward, one after another, Minotaurs emerged from them. However, just as they appeared, they were met with Liam's qi sword.
Liam simultaneously condensed three qi swords, which turned into three streams of light and killed these monsters that had not yet found their footing.
Afterward, he controlled the qi swords and blocked the entrance and exit of the seventeenth floor.
"Haruhime, raise the level of Mikoto and the others. Let them deal with these monsters themselves!"
"Yes!"
After chanting Nine-Fold, four beams of light respectively landed on the bodies of Daphne, Mikoto, Cassandra, and Wien.
Liam's feet moved slightly, and he himself had already stepped on a sharp sword and flown into the air.
This was the power of Sword Control Art! No longer levitation, but truly flying with his own power, using Sword Control Art!
Liam observed the movements of Mikoto and the others. As long as there was a dangerous factor, he would control his flying sword to kill it.
The level and number of these Minotaurs, for the current Mikoto and her group, were still manageable.
"Twenty minutes are up. Next, leave it to me!"
While Haruhime was kneeling on the ground, drenched in fragrant sweat, Liam controlled his flying sword and began to reap.
No matter how violent these Minotaurs were, they could not block Liam's flying sword reaping.
In the face of absolute strength, these Minotaurs could only be instantly killed by Liam.
A pile of magic stones appeared on the ground. Lili, after getting Liam's permission, immediately and excitedly picked up all these magic stones.
Afterward was to return to the Guild and sell all the harvest this time.
Subsequently, under Miss Eina's arrangement, Liam came to a hidden room.
Liam sat on the sofa. After seeing the paper on the table, he immediately began to write.
According to his memory, and his understanding of the Secret Sword Art, combined with the breathing method and the constitution of an adventurer, he summarized seven major breathing methods.
Although it was not as strong as the Sword Soul template's Secret Sword Art, its advantage was its stronger versatility.
Everyone could choose a more suitable breathing method according to their own constitution and magic power attribute.
Fels, wearing a hood, appeared. He took off his hood and looked at that month:
"Mr. Liam, this is..."
Liam took out the breathing method he had just summarized, and then handed it to the other party, "These are the seven major Secret Sword Breathing Methods I have summarized: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Sun and Moon Breathing Methods.
I want to donate this cultivation secret manual to the Guild. After mastering this manual, it should increase the combat power of an ordinary adventurer by at least 100%.
Even just getting started, I guess you can get a 20-50% boost."
Fels stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Liam. "Mr. Liam, this gift of yours is really too precious!
I thank you for your contribution on behalf of the Adventurer's Guild!"
Fels could feel that this secret manual was one of Liam's trump cards for being so powerful.
Liam looked at the other party with a chuckle, "I also have conditions. I need more indestructible blades and other armaments!
For the First-Grade indestructible armaments in Orario, I want to have the priority to purchase them after they are forged."
"No problem! I can even make the decision that for all the First-Grade indestructible armaments in the world, you will also have the priority to purchase them!"
Liam nodded, "Then there's the second matter. According to my speculation, it's very likely that there is a Corrupted Spirit on the fifty-ninth floor!"
Fels's voice had a clear crack, "Liam! Are you sure?"
"Not sure, because my current adventure team simply cannot reach the 59th floor.
But the current Dungeon is undergoing changes. The Dungeon wants to conquer the surface. This has been the case since ancient times.
This is the will of the Dungeon!"
Fels's hands were crossed on his lap, "Indeed, the will of the Dungeon is so.
It only wants to continuously breed monsters, and then destroy the surface, and even kill all the gods."
Liam looked at Fels seriously, "Fels, I hope you can seriously consider my speculation.
If possible, I hope to form a joint subjugation team with the Loki Familia.
Even if the speculation is not accurate, at least we can get intelligence on the fifty-ninth floor and the floors below!"
Fels nodded, "I just didn't expect, Liam, that you would even know about the Corrupted Spirit.
That thing is too dangerous. If it's the main body, I won't allow you and Loki's group to go over."
"So, how do we know if it's the main body if we don't go and see? Maybe it's just an avatar!"
Looking at Fels's attitude, this main body's Corrupted Spirit's level was probably above Lv8.
Its strength was definitely far beyond Ottar, reaching a terrifyingly unimaginable degree.
Liam looked at Fels, "Fels, I've given you both the intelligence and the breathing method.
So, regarding the allocation quota for the breathing method, I think you will be more skilled than me."
Fels stood up, "Mmm, the anomaly in the Dungeon is intensifying. The monsters inside are evolving, becoming stronger.
We adventurers also have to find a way to continue to become stronger. Otherwise, Orario will be destroyed first."
The entire Orario, on the surface, was a playground for the gods after their descent.
And the underground of Orario was a battlefield where countless monsters in the Dungeon continuously died and were reborn.
The adventurers and the gods would be the last seal against the Dungeon's rampage.
Leaving the Guild, Liam carried the exchanged money and a large bag of recovery potions and returned to The Hearthfire Manor.
The hellish special training of the Hestia Familia was about to begin.
As everyone knew, the Secret Sword Art could be learned even without a demonic hand. It was just that its power was not as great as a Ghost Swordsman's.
Now Liam called out all the Lv2 members in the Familia and looked at the crowd with a chuckle:
"Now I'm going to start a hellish special training for you. Get ready! I won't stop until I've developed your ability scores to their limits!"
Haruhime's ears drooped helplessly. Mikoto's back was drenched in cold sweat. Wien subconsciously took a step back...
