Seven combatants, seven supporters, one blacksmith. A total of fifteen people formed a team.
The vanguard is the werewolves Bert and Tiona, the center defender is the Sword Girl Ace and Tione, then there is Kobayashi as [Eye] and the leader Finn who is the commander, and the rearguard is Riveria and Grace.
Although some personnel deployment has been changed, it is still the golden formation of the first-level adventurer team of [Loki Familia].
The supporters rocked large backpacks filled with huge weapons and shields.
The group of people headed towards the large hole on the 50th floor.
Supporters have grown nervous and reticent. Especially the elf girl Lefiya was the most obvious. Her breathing was rapid and her whole body was tense, making people wonder if she would faint.
Riveria, who was always observing her, taught her a lesson: "Lefiya, you are breathing rapidly, relax your body."
"Okay, okay! Lady Riveria!"
The elf girl who was leading the back guard responded nervously and didn't look like she was relaxing at all.
Tiona, who was carrying a big sword, complained: "I said, why do I have to be the vanguard with Bert?!"
"It's so noisy, you stupid Amazon!"
The werewolf Bert was also very unhappy at being questioned, and he didn't even look at the corners of her mouth.
Not only them, but others were also constantly arguing and teaching each other, which seemed to relieve their inner tension.
Chun, who had a sword on his waist, laughed and said, "Haha! The Loki Familia are always so lively!"
"It made you laugh."
Finn beside him gave a wry smile in return.
However, this was also an inherent part of the family members' way of relieving their tension, and he did not stop them because of this.
Soon, a group of people passed through the large woods.
A big hole appeared in front of him, and Finn said: "Okay, no more chatting from now on, everyone is ready to fight."
The large hole in the west wall of the floor connects the passage between the 50th and 51st floors, forming a steep ramp.
Looking down at the steep slope that is equivalent to a cliff, there are already several pairs of monster eyes emerging from the darkness on the floors below.
Krillin nodded to Finn.
The leader of the little human tribe hit the spear with a wave of his hand and said: "Go, Bert, Tiona!"
"Okay, rush!"
"Look at me!"
After receiving the instructions, the ferocious werewolf and ferocious Amazon turned into the wind and rushed down the steep slope.
Xiaolin and others followed them, and the attack into unreached areas began.
As soon as he exited the safe floor, he was immediately in a battle with the monsters. Bert's silver boots and Tiona's big sword defeated them in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Lin was like a remote control controlling the direction from behind, shouting to the grumpy old man and sister in front: "Please just take the regular route. There are not many monsters on this road, so I'll leave it to you two." !”
No redundant fighting is allowed, no waste of materials is allowed.
From the 51st floor to the deeper 57th floor, there is a rare maze structure in the depths.
The black dungeon structure depicts flat ceilings and walls, and intricate unified passages connect the rooms.
It's like going back to the original upper level.
The two have the same structure, but are completely different in scale and breadth.
The team moved forward at a rapid pace.
As [Eye], Xiaolin kept reminding: "A monster is about to appear in the passage ahead!"
"Leave the vanguard alone! Ais and Tione, deal with them!" Captain Finn gave clear instructions.
"yes!"
"Yes, leader!"
There were cracks in the walls on the left and right sides of the passage that the werewolves Burt and Tiona had passed through, and just as Kobayashi said, the monsters appeared.
They broke through the wall and swarmed out.
From the fork in the road, from in front of the crossroad, from the ceiling, from the wall.
The underground city is roaring.
Continuous encounters with monsters, deep threats, monsters all over the floor are coming from all over to stop the adventurers from invading the maze.
Black rhinos and giant spiders attack from all directions with a frequency that is completely unmatched so far.
The team fought against the monsters that appeared one after another.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
The werewolves Bert and Tiona, who acted as the vanguard, roared and rushed forward.
A flashing kick was followed by a roundhouse kick, and the upper bodies of the monsters blocking the way were kicked away. [Verowolf] did not even look at the fallen corpses, and continued to cut more enemies into pieces.
Known for his foot strength, he gave full play to his scud in guerrilla missions, adopted hit-and-run tactics, and used high-speed movement and kicking to clear a path for the team.
And the other reckless man was not to be outdone.
Burning with a competitive spirit, Amazon also wields a sword to kill enemies quickly. Wherever he goes, blood and flesh are flying everywhere like a cutting machine entering the scene. It is a completely restricted scene.
"Well, the fight was really fierce!"
Chun narrowed his eyes and looked at the fighting situation of the vanguard. The ether sword instantly killed the incoming monster and grabbed the black rhinoceros horn that appeared in the dust of the collapse.
She happily threw the horns into her backpack and said happily: "I got the best material!"
There was no way, the blacksmith just couldn't help but collect the materials.
These are nothing.
On the contrary, she was a little surprised by the technique she had just used - the dodge of the sword released from the sheath, the sonic Iai technique, and the continuous Iai slashes that were invisible to the naked eye.
Raul, who was running alongside her, couldn't help but groaned: "Miss Chun, you are obviously a blacksmith, how can you be so powerful?"
"Well... look, don't you have to try out all the newly made weapons? I wanted to know how effective my weapons were against monsters, so I drilled and drilled all the way underground, cutting and cutting, and I became so powerful. .”
Raul's face turned pale at his pure speech.
What the hell? It’s so scary!
Is this the LV5 blacksmith? !
"Compared to me, that little brother is more important to people." Chun tilted her head, indicating that there was a more outstanding person on the other side of her.
It's Xiao Lin.
Sharp threads continued to shoot out from the ten fingers. With a wave of his hands, he first imprisoned all the monsters, and then strangled them all with a tightening of his hands.
Both the methods and tactics are ordinary.
But weapons are quite rare.
And according to the blacksmith's intuition, those threads are anything but simple!
To be honest, Tsubaki was very interested!
If she hadn't been surrounded by monsters now, she would definitely have a closer look!
Xiaolin concentrated on dealing with monsters.
It's a rare opportunity to improve your proficiency under the protection of someone, and this is how he came along the way.
The meat grinder that keeps harvesting in front of you... I made a mistake, it's Tiona.
The Amazon wild female warrior felt that she was still not comfortable with the big sword, so she quickly switched to her big double blades. Looking at the wall of flesh where the monsters gathered in front of her, she used her whole body, literally pouring all her strength into it. Perform a spinning slash.
The gyro slash with its huge double blades smashes all the monsters in its path.
At this time, Xiao Lin, who was following her footsteps, noticed the noise in front of the road. When he took a closer look, yellow-green masses flooded the entire passage.
"Here comes a new species!"
The skin is invaded by colorful colors, coupled with the wide and flat arms that are reminiscent of a manta ray, a bunch of tentacles are like an approaching chariot, and the corrosive liquid that can dissolve everything is accumulated in the body.
It is the larval monster they are most wary of!
After hearing Xiaolin's reminder, the regiment leader Finn shouted an emergency instruction: "Change formation! Tiona, retreat!"
Forbidden!
As soon as he shouted out, Tiona retreated back with great tactical knowledge, and quickly exchanged words with Swordswoman Ace who rushed out of the center back in perfect harmony.
"Wake up!"
Ais activated her magic, shoulder to shoulder with Bert who was running forward, and launched an attack.
"Ais!"
"Wind——!"
As the green whirlwind poured into the silver boots of the werewolf Burt, the charged feet were entangled with fierce air currents. With the blessing of the wind, the two jumped out and jumped towards the army of larval monsters.
His swift slashes cut many monsters in half, and his whirlwind kick kicked several enemies away.
Sword girl Ais and werewolf Bert show off their skills.
The two of them used wind, which larvae monsters were least good at dealing with, to ravage their enemies, killing them all like a raging wave.
He forcibly resisted the monster's attack.
Xiao Lin watched with excitement from behind, and wanted to rush forward and kill like them, but his duty was [eyes] and he needed to be responsible for the safety of all adventurers, so he had to temporarily suppress the throbbing in his heart.
Behind the struggles of Ace and others, Riveria chanted in parallel.
"The closed light, the frozen earth.
Snow is blowing all over the sky, and it’s been three severe winters.
My name is Alf! ! ! "
"Everyone, disperse!"
Following Finn's order, the vanguard and center back immediately retreated to the left and right, revealing the emerald green magic circle in the center.
The silver-white staff was raised, and the first-level magic weapon, the great elf, burst out with a flash of ice and snow.
——Ecstasy·Finbulwinter!
Three blizzards raced down the passage.
The blue and snow-white bombardment, together with the maze, froze all the monsters in front of them. On the road where everyone retreated and separated, the linearly extending passage to the farthest end turned into a world of ice and snow.
From frozen larval monsters to monsters that harm pond fish, countless ice sculptures stand everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Chun couldn't help but exhale and sighed: "Oh my, this is really amazing magic. It would be great if I could use the magic sword."
For blacksmiths, the magic sword is their deepest obsession.
"But if that's the case, our magisters will lose face."
Riveria responded with a wry smile.
The magic sword is more convenient than magic and can be used by anyone. If the magic sword could really exert such powerful magic, then any magician would be ashamed and angry.
Kobayashi and Finn join the others.
In order to prevent others, they broke all the monster ice sculptures.
However, with the walls covered with frost, even the deep monsters would not be able to be born again in a short time.
Probably with this aspect in mind, Riveria would use such powerful magic.
Everyone moved forward on the icy regular route and soon came to the stairs leading to the floor below.
Facing the long and broad stairs, Xiao Lin looked down at it, the light on his forehead never dissipating.
He turned around and nodded to the leader, Finn.
The leader of the small human race who received the message said to everyone: "Be careful from now on, I'm afraid there will be no chance to make supplies again."
Hearing what he said, everyone's expressions tensed up.
"let's go!"
With the brief order given, the team began to move towards the 52nd floor.
In the black lead-colored maze that was almost identical to the 51st floor, the team ran faster than before.
"Don't fall behind! Try to avoid fighting. Just fight the monsters away!"
Finn kept giving instructions.
The frequency of appearance of monsters and the number of encounters remained unchanged, and the team successfully ran through the maze.
Tsubaki regards materials as life. After seeing the precious materials falling, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh oh oh, it's a dropped item!"
"No! We can't fall behind!"
Just as she was about to pick it up, Supernormal Raul grabbed her.
Under Chun's confused expression, Raul said with a cold sweat on his face: "You will be sniped!"
"Sniper...?"
The incomprehensible words made Chun feel bad.
what happened?
Just when she was about to ask, she suddenly noticed something. Not only Raul, but the supporters were all chasing the first-level adventurer like crazy. Everyone was filled with a sense of crisis and their faces were pale.
Even Grace, who was running last, was urging her not to procrastinate.
Everyone was silent and holding their breath. They only made the sound of fierce footsteps and shook off the roar of the monster.
The team was enveloped in a strange sense of tension.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
It was an ominous roar that seemed to rise from the ground.
"It's...a dragon?!"
The roar of the King of Monsters bit his ears. Tsubaki knew what the roar was, but there was no enemy within the range of his perception.
Riveria beside her said: "Finn!"
"Ah, I was captured! Xiaolin!"
"No! I can't see it!"
Xiao Lin's answer made everyone paler again.
You can't blame him.
The location of the dragon is several floors down. Xiao Lin's eyes can't reach there at all. At most, he can only give an early warning.
Hearing Xiao Lin's answer, the leader of the small human race narrowed his green eyes to the limit.
Still not working?
He did not blame Xiao Lin for his incompetence. After all, several floors were at least a few hundred meters apart, and even if he could see through, there was a high probability that he would not be able to see below.
no way!
"Everyone, speed up!"
"Run! Run!!!"
Following the order, the adventurers shouted to move and ran faster.
The vanguard desperately fought away the monsters that appeared in the passage. Lefiya's rapid breathing was heard from behind, and the monsters' uninterrupted roars only added to the chaos.
"--coming soon!"
Xiao Lin shouted loudly, and everyone looked tense.
"Everyone, run to the side road!"
"receive!"
After hearing the instructions, the leading vanguard and the rest of the team ran towards the fork in the road.
The next moment.
boom------
The ground exploded.
Fire exploded upward, followed by a red lotus-like shock wave. Vanguard's back, Xiaolin's profile, and the weapons of everyone behind him were all burned red.
It was like a huge landmine explosion, the floors were covered in red flames, and all the monsters where the team passed were engulfed in a sea of flames.
The heat wave of flames reached the zenith at once, directly breaking through the 51st floor.
The maze was blown apart in front of their eyes, and the ferocious blast of air caused the supporters to hold back their screams.
"Detour! Xiaolin!"
"Go west!"
Finn gave excited instructions while Kobayashi guided the team.
The adventurers ran off the regular route and ran at full speed through the maze-like wide passage.
Soon, the big explosion exploded again.
"Tsk! It doesn't matter if you attract the larvae! Riveria, use defensive magic!"
"Echo - pass on your wish, O vestment of the forest!"
"Xiao Lin, how many enemies!"
"Seven heads!"
Several big explosions occurred one after another, hot wind and sparks surged towards everyone, and Finn issued orders in rapid succession.
Soon, the dragon's roar could be heard clearly throughout the surroundings.
Then there were chain explosions that shook the floors. The ground was lifted up and bombed on the 52nd floor, and the rock rock collapsed downwards.
Everyone clearly saw the red lotus-like fireball crashing through the ground and penetrating several zeniths above their heads.
"I see, that's what happened."
Tsubaki and Lefia, who came here for the first time, were shattered and twisted, showing expressions of understanding everything.
——Common sense above the 50th floor is useless from that floor onwards.
——Below the 52nd floor of the dungeon is hell.
