Chapter 243: Haruhime's Sixth Tail
Finn and the others have finally completed their rendezvous with Liam and his group.
Tsubaki's attention was drawn to the cannon dragon materials on the ground, such as its teeth, scales, and so on.
As a blacksmith, the rarer the material, the more interested she became.
Her adventurer level had also been raised because of this. She would forge armaments and items, and then take the equipment she created to the Dungeon for experiments.
She didn't spend much energy on hunting monsters, but rather tried to test all her created works in the Dungeon.
Just by doing so, her level had risen from Lv1 to Lv5.
Riveria sighed silently. The cannon dragon's scales were arc-shaped. Even without being flattened, their length was close to a meter, their thickness was more than two centimeters, and their width was about half a meter.
Without a doubt, this material was not suitable for carrying.
"This thing is too bulky. Shall we take it when we return?"
"Alright, what a pity."
The expression on Tsubaki's face revealed her feelings completely. She really wanted to take it with her.
However, seeing Riveria's firm attitude, it seemed they could only talk about it later.
The surrounding monsters had temporarily stopped appearing. It seemed that because the number of monsters born in succession was too large, the monster regeneration ability of the Dungeon had been interrupted.
However, this was also very normal. The four of them, Liam's group, had been fighting continuously until Finn and his group broke through from the fifty-second floor to the fifty-eighth.
Finn looked at everyone, "Everyone, let's rest on the spot for a while."
Liam nodded, "No problem. It's a good time to recover some stamina."
Finn took out a map and looked at everyone, "It is said that from the fifty-ninth floor, it is the Ice Age. The streams of glacial lakes are everywhere, making it difficult to advance.
Just the air will make the body sluggish.
But now, I don't feel any cold air from this entrance."
The mad dog Bete raised a question, "Could it be that the Zeus Familia's notes are a trap?"
"That's not likely. I've heard of the Zeus Familia. With their style of doing things, it's impossible for them to tamper with the notes.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, a change has occurred here, and it is a change that has directly affected the entire floor."
"Then we won't equip the Salamander Wool."
This was Finn's judgment.
Before starting a battle, if the wrong equipment was changed, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire team.
Therefore, since there was no icy weather, there was naturally no need for the Salamander Wool.
After preparing for a few minutes, Raul and other supporters took out portable magic stone lamps, and the group advanced along the established tunnel.
As the light appeared, they drilled out of the entrance one by one.
This was the fifty-ninth floor of the Dungeon.
It was just that the environment had changed into a dense forest area like the twenty-fourth floor. The surroundings were misty, and huge trees formed a forest that filled the entire fifty-ninth floor.
And in that dense forest, there were also many giant trees that stood out from the general forest, with huge heights and canopy areas.
As for the environment, it was also endlessly vast. After removing these forests, what would be left would be almost endless flat land or basins.
That kind of labyrinth that divided the entire floor into small pieces, at least the fifty-eighth and fifty-ninth floors were completely without it.
Liam and the others left from the fifty-ninth floor exit, maintaining their formation and drilling into the dense forest.
Six flying swords continuously circled around Liam and Haruhime.
After walking for about ten minutes, Liam and the others discovered a huge caterpillar monster in the distance.
It looked like a caterpillar monster magnified many times. A normal caterpillar monster was a dozen meters high, while this one was on a scale of nearly a hundred meters.
"The one parasitized by the jewel is a Corpus Vile!"
The Corpus Vile had a huge eye on its head. When devouring a caterpillar monster, a huge mouthpart would appear in front of its eye, directly biting off a general part of the caterpillar monster and eating it.
Perhaps it only ate the magic stone in the upper part of the caterpillar monster, but looking at its appearance, the number of caterpillar monsters it had eaten was definitely very large.
The lower part of the Corpus Vile had the roots and petals of a plant, while the pistil part of the flower was half of a huge caterpillar monster.
The head of this caterpillar monster was covered with a large number of red tentacles.
Just as Liam was about to attack, the caterpillar monster inside the petals of this Corpus Vile expanded and then shattered.
After shattering, the pistil actually turned into the upper body of a female with dark green skin!
She opened her mouth and let out a roar. The voice seemed to be mixed with a strong spiritual interference.
"Ah~~!"
Heaven and earth seemed to change color because of this. An almost tangible impact attacked the surroundings indiscriminately.
Ais and the others covered their heads and frowned. They felt as if their heads had been hit by a hammer on the back of the head, and it was extremely painful.
Liam frowned and immediately condensed a sword intent flying sword in front of him, and then controlled it to fly towards this monster.
"Bang!"
The sword intent flying sword directly bombarded the monster's glabella, forcefully interrupting the other's spiritual attack.
This monster stopped roaring. She first glared at Liam, and then looked at Ais with a smiling face:
"Aria!"
"A Spirit?"
Ais looked at the other party with confusion. Without a doubt, what was growing on the Corpus Vile was very similar to a spirit.
Liam frowned and looked at this Corrupted Spirit avatar. At this time, she in the pistil had an upper body similar to a human.
And below her navel was the huge body of a man-eating flower. On her left and right were four red leaves each, and the torso of the flower had two unopened flower buds.
And at her feet were a large number of man-eating flowers, as well as caterpillar monsters.
"Aria, I missed you so much, I missed you so much, I missed you so much. You should come and be like me too. Let me eat you..."
The Corrupted Spirit avatar, while speaking, rolled up a caterpillar monster with the branches on her body and dug out the magic stone from its body and ate it.
Seeing this, Liam knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he directly began to attack.
However, his attack target did not directly aim at the Corrupted Spirit avatar, but prioritized attacking these small monsters.
A boss that is difficult to deal with, one naturally prioritizes dealing with its minions, and finally uses a group attack tactic to deal with the final boss.
No one knew what realm this monster's specific strength had reached, so no amount of caution was too much.
"Meteor Fall!"
Liam soared into the air, and then the Selfless Sword Domain unfolded.
A large number of armaments flew out from it, and then fell to the ground like meteors.
These meteors came into contact with the monsters, tearing them apart with a huge impact, and then kicking up a blood mist and an explosive shockwave on the ground.
In less than a second, more than a hundred armaments had fallen to the ground.
Then the second second, the third second.
The monster group that had originally surrounded the Corrupted Spirit avatar was now sparse and almost completely cleared.
The Corrupted Spirit avatar glared at Liam, and then continued to say to herself, "Aria, let me eat you quickly!"
The ground trembled. A large number of tree roots appeared behind Ais and the others.
These tree roots formed a surrounding wall, directly sealing off the retreat of Finn and the others completely.
The enemy opposite was very powerful, to the extent that they did not have the extra energy to deal with these tree roots.
Then there was only one choice left, and that was to fight this Corrupted Spirit!
When paths cross, the brave one wins!
Riveria raised the staff in her hand. She began to charge up her magic, "Finn, I'll cover you!"
"Wait, something's coming!"
(Roar, earth!)
A purple composite magic circle appeared under the feet of the Corrupted Spirit avatar.
This was a huge, large-scale magic circle, and then a composite magic circle that overlapped with more than six small magic circles.
The light was flashing, and the various magic circles also began to rotate because of this.
The Corrupted Spirit continued to chant (Come, come, come, shell of the earth, flash of black iron, heavenly condemnation of the stars, reverse with the contract of creation...)
"The monster is chanting? Am I really not dreaming?"
The others were still shocked by the fact that this monster could speak, while Liam had long since applied all his state skills to himself.
The most important thing now was to stop this monster from chanting. He was very clear about the power of the Corrupted Spirit's skills.
"Raging Dragon Slash!"
A dragon-shaped sword aura condensed in front of Liam, and then he, with a golden dragon head, crashed into the monster's body.
However, this attack only scraped a little skin off the other's torso.
"Its defense is actually so high?"
While Liam was attacking the Corrupted Spirit, Tsubaki and Raul continuously used their magic swords to attack it from a long range.
Useless, completely useless.
Finn felt the situation was critical, "Riveria, set up a barrier! Raul, Lefiya, Tsubaki, stop the enemy from chanting!"
Liam's figure quickly retreated, "Haruhime, give me and Riveria a level sublimation!"
"Yes!"
Riveria immediately closed her eyes. She trusted her teammates. All she could do now was to concentrate all her attention and release her highest defense magic at the fastest speed:
"Dance, great spirit of the atmosphere, lord of light. I have made a contract with the guardian god of the forest. I hope to play the song of the earth to envelop us and protect us—I implore you to become a giant wall of forest light to protect us—My name is Alf."
This was a move that Riveria could use to resist the enemy's physical and magical attacks. It was also her third-tier strongest defensive magic.
Lefiya, Tsubaki, and Raul's attacks landed on the Corrupted Spirit avatar, and they could only see countless smoke generated. But after the smoke cleared, it did not cause any effect.
Liam looked back at Lefiya and the others, "Don't stop! Continue to attack!"
When the Corrupted Spirit avatar was attacked, it would wrap itself in a flower. Therefore, those attacks were simply not effective.
And when it was wrapped in petals, the Corrupted Spirit avatar's chanting could still be heard from within.
A red flowing light flashed all over the Corrupted Spirit avatar's body. Afterward, she even unfolded her entire body. The attack was completely immune to the attack.
Liam was not convinced. His left hand pointed at the Corrupted Spirit avatar.
The sky was torn apart, and the Selfless Sword Domain tore through space and descended upon the Corrupted Spirit avatar's head.
Then nearly two hundred sharp blades imprisoned the Corrupted Spirit avatar's surroundings.
Liam himself teleported to the top of one of the blades. Afterward, he picked up the blade under his feet and slashed at the Corrupted Spirit avatar.
His figure turned into an orange sword light. Each slash could leave a briefly appearing welcome.
The orange sword light flashed at high speed, directly turning into a storm of orange thunder.
The sharp blade roared, and the orange slash landed on the Corrupted Spirit avatar's body, cutting one after another, subtle cuts on its entire body.
In less than three seconds, the Corrupted Spirit avatar's entire body had already been slashed hundreds of times.
However, even being attacked so fiercely by Liam, the Corrupted Spirit avatar was still continuing to chant:
(Burn the sky, shatter the earth, build a bridge, become heaven and earth, the sky axe falls like a torrential rain, it is the calamity of destruction...)
A purple magic circle appeared around the Corrupted Spirit avatar and was slowly rotating.
And above her head, a rotating purple magic circle also began to appear.
Afterward, Liam released an upward slash shockwave at the Corrupted Spirit avatar.
The Corrupted Spirit avatar's right hand blocked in front of her, and a light wall appeared.
A dazzling shockwave was released, collided with the light wall, and kicked up a violent shockwave.
After the explosion disappeared, the Corrupted Spirit avatar's right hand was blown to pieces.
But even so, the Corrupted Spirit avatar was still chanting.
All the purple magic circles condensed into a high altitude, turning into a magic circle with a huge diameter.
From within, a large number of meteorites fell, coming towards Riveria and the others.
The moment he saw the attack being released, Liam's figure instantly moved to the vicinity of the armament where Haruhime was.
When he went to attack, he had left a weapon near Haruhime as a teleportation mark.
One by one, meteors with a diameter of several meters, carrying an unreasonable impact force, fell on the protective barrier released by Riveria.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
One after another, the falling meteorites fell at a high speed and high frequency, landing on the ground and on the protective barrier.
Finally, the meteor shower ended.
The area where Liam and the others were, a range with a diameter of two hundred meters, had already become a barren wasteland.
And around Liam and the others, a huge concave pit nearly ten meters deep had even appeared.
Inside the golden dome defensive magic circle, everyone present had lingering fears.
The mad dog Bete moved his fists, "So arrogant. It's our turn next!"
Lefiya looked at Finn with some uncertainty, "Is the attack over? Captain?"
Liam's gaze was on Haruhime, "Haruhime, is the magic not finished yet?"
Haruhime shook her head and once again accelerated her chanting. Now, six golden tails had appeared behind her.
After her level had improved, and with these days of special training, Haruhime's understanding of the Nine-Fold magic had once again sublimated.
And so, Haruhime had released six golden tails for the first time.
Compared to the Corrupted Spirit avatar's divine-speed chanting, Haruhime's release speed was still too slow.
(Burst forth, flames! Burn, burn, burn...)
A pink multi-composite magic circle appeared in front of the Corrupted Spirit avatar: (Tornado of Flames, Crimson Barrier, Roar of Hellfire! With the power of the gale, seal the world...)
She could recite several words in one second. This kind of divine-speed continuous chanting had completely surpassed the understanding of Finn and the others.
Liam's right hand took out Pride, "I won't let you chant so easily!"
He took his blade and released a continuous thrust at the other party. One after another, arrow-shaped sword auras landed on the Corrupted Spirit avatar's body.
The petals once again wrapped around the other's entire body, while the chanting text continued to be output.
Fresh blood flowed from the Corrupted Spirit avatar's outer shell, but the power of the attack was still too small...
