Chapter 242: Haruhime's Limit Break
"Liam!"
Haruhime exclaimed in worry, while the others also became nervous.
"He should be fine, right?"
Lefiya wasn't sure. She turned to look at Finn.
Before Finn could give an order, Liam's figure had already appeared on a distant armament.
"Hestia squad, follow me to the fifty-eighth floor. Finn, your squad continue to advance. We'll meet on the fifty-eighth floor!"
A flying sword appeared under Liam's feet. Afterward, he flew at high speed towards Haruhime and carried her on his back.
A huge flame impact appeared on the ground again, and was then cut open by Liam's sword aura.
Afterward, flying swords also appeared beside Ryuu and Ais. The four stood on the flying swords and began to advance towards the tunnel.
Finn, seeing Liam and the others leave, also immediately issued a new instruction. "Continue to move, and try to meet up with them as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Finn's team couldn't just go directly to the fifty-eighth floor. And since the current situation was so urgent, it was better to act with caution.
...
The four of them, Liam's group, followed the newly appeared vertical shaft and advanced downwards.
These vertical shafts pierced through the fifty-eighth and fifty-second floors, and could even break through to the fifty-first floor.
Haruhime lay on Liam's back, not daring to move, "Liam, isn't this too dangerous?"
"Don't worry, I will protect you with all my might. If an adventurer wants to obtain a great feat to level up, then they must break their limits.
In the face of great pressure, transform it into nutrients for your own growth.
Even just overcoming the fear in one's heart is a kind of limit break."
Behind Liam, the Selfless Sword Domain unfolded, and a large number of blades appeared within it.
The entire tunnel was about a thousand meters deep. Even so, the temperature at the edge of this vertical shaft was still excessively high.
Liam's gaze saw the rumble at the very bottom of the vertical shaft. At this time, that monster had opened its giant mouth again and was charging up to attack Liam and their group.
A huge fireball shot up. Liam's side simultaneously released Meteor Fall.
The flying swords and the fireball collided, and completely cut the other's fireball open.
"BOOM!"
The fireball exploded and kicked up a large amount of smoke and dust.
Just as this fireball attack was eliminated by Liam, a second fireball arrived again.
"To face an attack, you can only counter-attack!"
The blades in the Selfless Sword Domain behind Liam all turned, and once again shattered the flying fireball.
Not only that, but more sharp swords, like cannonballs, fell towards the numerous fire dragons below the vertical shaft.
Within the range of Liam's naked eye, the armaments fell like meteors. The bodies of those fire dragons were pierced, and then they were blasted into fragments.
By the time the bodies of these fire dragons had turned into smoke and dissipated, Liam and the others had already flown to the ground.
This was a wide and endless cave. Above their heads, they could see a large number of inverted sharp spikes.
The ambient temperature was very high, and the overall color was dark red. Apart from a large number of flying dragons, there were also many other monsters, such as caterpillar monsters.
The three flying swords under Liam and the others' feet automatically returned to Liam's side. Beside the dead flying dragons were six or seven flying dragon magic stones.
Seeing those magic stones, Liam just glanced at them. "Don't worry about picking up the magic stones for now. Let's kill all these monsters clean first."
"Okay!"
At this time, six indestructible Seven Sins flying swords, like swimming fish, slowly floated around Liam and Haruhime.
A sharp cold light appeared on the flying swords, and sword aura floated on them. In Liam's hands were Original Sin and Wrath.
When fighting these large monsters, it was better to use a larger weapon.
Ryuu and Ais stood on either side of Liam, watching the surrounding monsters vigilantly.
Haruhime hid behind Liam, trembling, "Captain Liam, shall I apply a level sublimation for you now?"
"It's not time yet! What you need to do now is very simple. Dodge these monsters' attacks as much as possible.
Then, use the breathing method and the Secret Sword Art that I taught you as much as you can."
Such a group of flying dragons a dozen meters tall, and a large number of caterpillar monsters were surrounding Liam and their group.
"Ryuu, Ais, you two are responsible for attacking the targets behind me. Don't go more than fifty meters away from me!"
"Yes!"
Haruhime also took out the tachi she had been wearing at her waist, "This one also knows a little bit of the Mist Breathing and the Secret Sword Art.
Perhaps just dodging danger will take all my effort, but this one will definitely be able to protect herself!"
Dungeon fifty-eighth floor. Haruhime, whose strength was only Lv3, when facing a monster group where the monster intensity was generally at Lv5, her own pressure reached its maximum.
She was not overwhelmed by fear. On the contrary, she proactively released a sword aura slash at the monster groups.
Charging up, and then slashing.
"Mist Breathing, Sixth Form: Moon's Dispersing Mist!"
Coordinating the Secret Sword Art with the Mist Breathing, Haruhime's magic power condensed into a golden mist. A sharp sword aura was hidden in the golden mist and slashed at the monster.
The dense sword aura landed on the surrounding caterpillar monsters, barely breaking their defense.
And the acid mist spewed by the other party was actually defended against by this golden mist containing sword aura.
"Well done, Haruhime!"
After seeing that Haruhime could barely use the Secret Sword Art and the Mist Breathing, as long as she maintained her distance and attacked from a long range, at least self-protection should be achievable.
Liam's entire body flickered with flowing light. All sorts of state abilities had been applied to his body.
A pale blue sword aura ripple unfolded behind Liam, and then a large number of blades, like meteors, flew towards the flying dragons in the sky.
The caterpillar monsters on the ground were also swarming up, but the flying swords around Liam, like living creatures, directly killed them all.
The flying dragons in the sky were hit by Liam's blade, fell to the ground, and then turned into magic stones and smoke and dissipated.
Then Liam continued to charge up, and then once again released Meteor Fall.
Meteor Fall was a level sixty skill. The effect of using it to attack these monsters was naturally very obvious.
Without consuming too much time, because the surrounding environment was particularly open, and the monsters had started to gather proactively after discovering Liam and their group.
So the killing efficiency was very high.
Liam's Sword Soul template's background experience value was constantly increasing.
「Exp +624」
「Exp +688」
「Exp +729」
In just a short while, after Liam and the others had completely cleared the surrounding monsters, his template level's experience had already reached 66, at 80%.
"Liam, this should be the end of it, right?"
Haruhime breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground at once, her forehead covered with sweat.
Just now she had been staying in the central area, charging up and releasing a long-range sword aura attack from time to time.
Although she couldn't kill the monsters, she could achieve the effect of breaking their defense and attracting their attention.
And, as long as she didn't consume magic power, she could also release the Secret Sword Art and the Mist Breathing with just her stamina.
It was just that it didn't have that golden mist.
Haruhime's main role was support, that is, to temporarily raise the adventurer level of her teammates.
So the extra stamina consumed was consumed.
Liam shook his head, "There are new monsters about to appear."
From the fifty-second floor onwards, the intensity of the Dungeon had reached the so-called hell level.
For example, starting from the fifty-second floor, one had to constantly suffer from the high-temperature flame bombardment of the deep levels.
Besides that, the level and strength of the monsters here had also skyrocketed again.
Hundreds of magic stones had already appeared on the ground. A large half of them were caused by Liam.
Ryuu and Ais returned to Liam's side. Now they also felt the arrival of the enemy.
He only saw the ground suddenly tremble, and then the ground bulged and shattered. A massive giant dragon emerged from it.
Just its shoulder height was already over twenty meters. The physique of this red dragon was undoubtedly very massive, full of a strong oppressive feeling. The red dragon opened its mouth at Liam. Raging flames condensed within it. Just as the other party was about to release it.
Liam instantly approached the other party. Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash erupted at this moment.
"ROAR!"
A deafening dragon's cry sounded. Liam's hands, holding Wrath and Original Sin, bombarded the other's stomach.
The flames the other was about to spit out were directly and forcefully held back.
The giant dragon's tail smashed at Liam. Liam's figure instantly came to the air.
The ground was directly smashed with a concave pit with a diameter of several dozen meters.
The earth trembled. Haruhime fell to the ground at once.
The giant dragon opened its mouth again, and raging flames erupted.
This time the speed was even faster. Liam turned and flew on his sword. The ground was sprayed with a fire pit with a diameter of more than ten meters and a length of over a thousand meters.
Immediately after, the Selfless Sword Domain appeared in the sky, and then hundreds of blades rained down from the air, washing over the giant dragon's entire body.
The blades pierced open the other's tail, arms, torso, and even its head.
And so a massive magic stone with a height of one point five meters fell to the ground. Just this size was very exaggerated.
Seeing that the magic stone was so big, Liam on the contrary felt a bit of a headache.
"So big. It's really troublesome to take it back. What a headache."
Clearly, Liam and his group also couldn't continue to fight with this size of a magic stone.
Too big.
To avoid affecting their movement, Liam and their group's personal backpacks were all very small.
They were mainly used to store some recovery potions, and they were of the tactical vest type.
Even without looking, one could know the approximate function of various supplies through the slot positions.
Ryuu looked at Liam, "Liam, they're coming again!"
"Okay!"
The monsters on the fifty-eighth floor seemed to be endless. In fact, in the crater destroyed by the giant dragon just now, caterpillar monsters were still being born from it.
Not only that, but in the sky, on the distant ground, monsters were still continuing to appear.
It was as if they were monsters growing out of the soil.
For this number of monsters, Liam only felt very happy.
"Ryuu and Ais, you two pay attention to maintaining your stamina. Try your best to fight with the Secret Sword Art and the breathing method, to save magic power consumption."
"Okay!"
Using actual combat to improve swordsmanship and the breathing method was always the most efficient method.
And Liam and his group had also prepared a lot of recovery potions.
In terms of consuming stamina and magic power, it was clear that consuming stamina was more cost-effective.
Stamina could be recovered through eating, stamina potions, and sleep.
And magic power required meditation, magic power potions, and sleep to recover.
And the recovery efficiency of magic power was much slower than stamina recovery, even if both were using potions for recovery.
Liam's figure came to the air. Six of the Seven Sins surrounded him, rotating at high speed.
In the air, his vision was more open.
On the ground in all four directions, these monsters were successively breaking through the earth and approaching Liam and their group.
In fact, some monsters would even kill each other.
This even made Liam feel a pang of heartache, "Don't kill each other! All of you, become my experience!"
The Selfless Sword Domain unfolded again. One by one, flying swords appeared within it, and then fell to the ground.
He mainly used those indestructible armaments. While being wrapped in the thunderflame sword aura, he killed these caterpillar monsters one by one.
After killing another wave of caterpillar monsters, his background experience value directly soared by more than eighty thousand.
And so he was even happier. He directly flew on his sword, controlling these flying swords to attack at high speed close to the ground.
Six flying swords, one was stepped on by him, and the other five were like five avatars of Liam, simultaneously killing the monster groups with high efficiency.
At this time, the killing efficiency was as if six Liams were grinding monsters at the same time.
Of course, the stamina consumed also became six times as much.
"Everyone, head south!"
Haruhime and the others nodded.
Liam stayed at a position twenty meters from the ground, and then controlled his flying swords to attack the approaching caterpillar monsters and flying dragons.
He found that on the southern ground in the distance, a large number of caterpillar monsters were approaching a certain cave.
They even directly stopped attacking Liam and their group.
This abnormal situation, Liam naturally would not let them have their way.
Therefore, he once again began to continue his attack.
With the southern entrance of the entire Dungeon as the center, he killed all the approaching caterpillar monsters.
His leveling efficiency was also improved again because of this.
"As expected, this is the entrance to the fifty-ninth floor. How can I let you go to the fifty-ninth floor?"
More red giant dragons appeared near the entrance.
Liam, on the other hand, released Raging Dragon Slash. At super high speed, he approached these giant dragons. Each high-speed movement could kill one of the giant dragons.
The four giant dragons that had just appeared were actually all killed by Liam in one move.
「Exp +999」
「Exp +999」
「Exp +1024」
「Exp +1066」
He didn't know how long he had fought. Liam found that his Sword Soul template had directly leveled up by one.
Now Liam's Sword Soul template had been upgraded from level 66 to level 67.
As the level of the Sword Soul template increased, the experience of low-level monsters began to become lower and lower.
And only by fighting monsters of a similar level to him, or even fighting above his level, could provide a higher experience bonus.
Liam continued to fight. The surrounding monsters were suddenly frozen by ice.
He took advantage of the situation and released his Selfless Sword Aura, directly slaying these monsters.
Following the direction of the release of the ice magic, Liam saw the Finn-led Riveria and their group.
The joint expedition team, which had been separated, had also completed its reunion at this place.
...
In a certain place on the fifty-ninth floor of the Dungeon.
Revis sat cross-legged on the ground. Around her were many man-eating flowers and a large number of magic stones.
And she, as if eating, crushed these magic stones and swallowed them into her stomach.
A mysterious person wearing a black cloak and a red mask was looking at her, "The Sword Princess and her group have already reached the deep levels. Why haven't you made a move yet?"
"Are you crazy or am I crazy? Liam is a man who can deal with the mighty Ottar.
Even if it's with the cooperation of a few other people.
If I want to act, I naturally have to make full preparations first! There's no point in making a move now..."
"If any problems arise..."
"They can definitely reach the fifty-ninth floor. This is an indisputable fact. So don't worry, the plan is fine.
Even in the worst case scenario, it doesn't matter if Ais lives or dies."
