When the rest was over, Xiaolin and others equipped themselves with the weapons that Chun had repaired, lined up and stepped into the large hole in front of them.
In the passage shrouded in darkness, the supporters lit up their portable magic stone lamps one after another. Although Xiaolin's eyes can see at night, others cannot.
The humid air and dark passage made everyone feel a little uneasy.
"It's not so much cold..."
"It's better to say it's sweltering."
The Amazon sisters spoke one after another.
The stairs leading far below are sensitive to any sound around them. Here, they can only rely on Xiaolin's eyes.
Lefiya hugged Sword Princess Ais's arm and pressed her whole body against it. She didn't know whether she was really scared or just eating tofu.
"Xiao Lin."
"No problem, it's safe here."
Kobayashi responded to Finn's concerns.
This passage is probably the connection between the 58th and 59th floors. Like the upper floors, there are no sudden attacks by monsters.
Even so, everyone did not relax their vigilance, and the footsteps of adventurers descending the steps continued to sound.
As the darkness gradually disappeared and light once again occupied the field of vision, everyone became more cautious and nervous. They held the weapons in their hands and stared sharply ahead.
Then, they walked the entire staircase and reached the bright front.
——Level 59.
"here it is?!"
Tiona couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The scene spreading out in their field of vision surprised everyone.
This is not a glacier realm at all.
There are no towering icebergs, no icy blue water, and even the temperature is not cold at all, but very sultry.
Because what they saw was a creepy dense forest!
"Really, is it a dense forest?"
It's not that they don't believe Xiao Lin, it's just that everyone still has a little doubt until they see it with their own eyes.
But now.
On a floor larger than the 58th floor, green trees and vines grow. The space in front of the passage is densely populated with tall trees, and the ground is covered with green grassland and flowers of different colors. There are also countless flower buds hanging on the walls of the enclosed space.
Inexplicably, it gives people the illusion of being on the 24th floor.
I can't say they are exactly the same, they are simply the same.
Lefia held her wand in front of her chest and lowered her voice with a trembling voice: "Is this the 24th floor?"
"How is that possible, idiot!"
The werewolf Burt subconsciously cursed, but the ferocious expression on his grinning face clearly showed that he was very confused by the current situation.
When everyone saw the 24th floor, which looked like it had been parasitized and transformed, an inexplicable sense of fear lingered in their hearts.
Sword Princess Ais pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her.
However, she discovered that Xiao Lin, who had previously fought off powerful enemies with her on the 24th floor, was not looking at her as usual. Instead, a strange light blue pattern appeared on his forehead with his eyes closed.
This is the ability of [eyes] being activated.
After a moment, Finn, the leader of the group, biting his right thumb, asked, "How's it going, Xiao Lin, did you find anything?"
"There aren't any monsters lurking around, but there are some strange things that make people concerned."
"What is it?"
"Countless new species are gathering in the central area... Let me take a look, haha, this is really a scary sight."
Xiao Lin's slightly depressed words made everyone frown.
At this time, Supermundane Flower also said: "There is some strange sound ahead!"
From the front of the passage, near the center of the floor, there was a strange sound.
It was a high-pitched and thin sound, as if something was being chewed, and then something broke, and something trembled from time to time.
"It's eating." Xiao Lin didn't give in and revealed the answer directly: "Those new species are being eaten by giant flowers."
"attacking each other?!"
"Could it be..."
"Enhanced species?!"
On the 58th floor, those monsters also kept devouring each other.
The monsters that have devoured their companions will become stronger and more difficult to deal with than before.
Hearing the sound of eating coming from the depths of the dense forest that blocked their vision, and the possibility of encountering a powerful new species that was stronger and more difficult to deal with, everyone focused their attention on the leader of the small human race.
Finn, who was holding a spear, did not hesitate and quickly ordered:
"--go ahead!"
A word from the leader starts the team into action.
With Kobayashi acting as the guiding eye, and the werewolves Bert and Tiona as the vanguard, the team moved forward along a single path in the dense forest that was opened up like a passage.
Even if Xiao Lin is there, they still have the knowledge to be vigilant on both sides of the dense forest so that they can deal with anything that appears and not be at a loss.
As the road continued to extend, after traveling in a straight line for more than ten minutes, the dense forest disappeared.
The trees disappeared and turned into a gray expanse.
In the center of the wilderness-like floor, the group of people saw countless larvae and piranha monsters as their field of vision expanded.
A disgusting swarm of monsters surrounded a female-shaped monster with a huge plant lower body.
The larva form protrudes a tongue-like organ from the mouth, passing the colorful pattern at the front end to the female form of the giant plant. The piranha also opens its huge mandibles, greedily swallowing the magic stone dedicated to itself.
The whole process was weird and terrifying.
Even with Xiao Lin's early warning, everyone was still shuddering.
Tiona opened her lips lightly and couldn't help blurting out: "What, this..."
"Is it a monster spawned by giant flowers?"
"Is it the female form of the orb?"
"Have you been eating such powerful monsters all this time?"
After being swallowed by the magic stone, the larvae and piranhas gradually turned into decaying dust. At this moment, the large amount of gray powder piled up like a mountain of salt around the female-sized monster made everyone's minds jump. How many monsters had been swallowed? ? !
"Sure enough, is it an enhanced species?!"
"Oops!"
When the group of people were about to react, in front of their sight, the female figure raised its upper body and made a weak sound from its extremely ugly head.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Accompanied by a groan of unknown meaning, its upper body began to tremble like a squirm, and its skin and flesh swelled in one breath.
While everyone was shocked, the monster exhaled in a daze, and after many fragments fell from its body like an insect chrysalis, a female body with graceful lines was born.
The long hair hanging down her back and her slender, supple arms are no less beautiful than the goddess.
It's just that green hair and green skin greatly diminish its appearance.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
As if cheering to celebrate a new life, the monster emitted a terrifying high-pitched sound wave, and everyone covered their ears to resist the invasion of the noise.
"Arya, Arya!!!"
The monster shouted [Arya] joyfully to the swordswoman Ais in front of it.
This familiar name.
Xiao Lin once heard on the 24th floor that the female weirdo also called Aisi that way.
"Could it be that... it's a fairy?!"
Sword Princess Ais trembled her lips as she revealed its identity in disbelief.
Upon hearing what she said, Tiona's first reaction was disbelief.
The lower body of the huge flower stem, the tentacles that are constantly tumbling around, and the disgusting green upper body are accompanied by a hair-raising sanctity.
Ominous, vicious and beautiful.
That weird-looking thing is actually a fairy? !
A fairy, but not quite a fairy.
Now it should be called the Dirty Fairy.
While smiling, it called out to Sword Lady Ace: "Arya, Arya!!! I want to see you so much, I want to see you so much, will you become one with me?! Let me eat you , okay?"
The next moment, the larvae and piranha flowers that offered the magic stone suddenly changed directions.
As if following the will of the fallen fairy, they aimed at the blonde swordswoman and a group of adventurers.
Almost at the same time, there was a loud noise at the entrance and exit of the floor. The road was completely blocked and there was no way out!
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
At the leader's command, everyone raised their weapons.
"It's no different from before! Xiaolin, I leave [eyes] to you!"
"give it to me!"
Under the command of the regiment leader, everyone had a clear division of labor and started fighting in an orderly manner.
At this time, Xiao Lin also took over the command of the supporters.
"Lefiya, aim at the lower body of the fallen fairy and start singing! Liuzi, protect her!"
"I-I understand!"
"Yes, Master Xiaolin."
Lefiya raised her wand, and Liu Zi came to her side, constantly killing the larval monsters that reacted to the magic and came closer.
The commander at the front is Finn, and the commander at the rear is Kobayashi.
Originally it was supposed to be Raul, but because of his eyesight, Xiaolin could better cooperate with the front and provide support. At the same time, Finn could also focus more on commanding the front, so the task fell on Xiaolin. And with strong support, the companions in front will be more at ease.
Abandoning the bloated giant piranha figure, the female body is more flexible and convenient.
Sword Princess Aisi and others rushed out of the sea of fire and wanted to make a bold move, but there were tentacles around them to stop them.
The Amazon sisters acted as the vanguard, trying to use heavy weapons to cut the tentacles into several pieces and open a way forward.
The long and large tentacles kept approaching, and the two of them slashed at them, their heavy axes and large double-edged blades colliding with the tentacles.
However--
"Good weight!"
"hateful!"
The attack with both speed and power made both sisters' expressions distorted.
The impact, which was more powerful than that of the floor master on the 37th floor, shook their arms to the point of numbness.
And there are so many tentacles, the entire 59th floor is full of the tentacles of fallen fairy spirits!
Just look at the tentacles falling like raindrops around Sword Princess Ais in the distance. You can tell that the attacks they bear are only a very small part of them!
Seeing that something was not going well, Riveria raised her wand as a sign of using magic.
"Wait, Riveria!"
"...?!"
Finn, the group leader, stopped her.
Under the confused eyes of the elven royal family, the dwarf leader covered his twitching thumb and made an extremely dry voice: "My thumb has been in pain, something... something is coming!"
As if responding to him, the fallen fairy in front opened his arms and opened his mouth wide:
"Fire, come on -"
A huge magic circle emerged under it, and hot energy gathered around it.
magic? !
Everyone was shocked.
Although it is said to be a fairy in origin, its appearance already belongs to the category of a monster, and its chanting behavior naturally frightens everyone.
But the battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was no time for them to recover.
A wide-ranging red magic circle unfolded, and the output magic power continued to erupt upwards.
Finn opened his eyes wide and shouted desperately: "Riveria, open the barrier!!!"
He gave the order in a tone that no one had ever heard before, and he lost his composure.
Riveria began to sing with an anxious expression.
Kobayashi and Lefiya behind them also activated their magic.
"Fire javelin salvo!" X2
Arrows of fire rushed towards the fallen fairy in the center of the floor, trying to interrupt the enemy's chant and buy Riveria time.
Facing the magic that shrouded the 59th floor with light, the opponent just arranged the ten huge petals under him in front, and the raging flame arrows were mounted on the petals, spreading out strong astigmatism and impact, but the violent explosion did not give it any bring any impact.
The chanting continued, and the enemy stayed there contentedly.
Even the fallen fairy smiled, which looked like a mockery to everyone.
"Ahaha, it doesn't work..."
"Can it actually defend against magic?!"
"impossible!"
There was obvious bitterness on everyone's faces.
Fortunately, they effectively intercepted the speed of the enemy's magic chanting, and Riveria was able to successfully open the magic barrier.
"Everyone, retreat to Riveria's barrier!"
Following Finn's order, the adventurers on the front line retreated to Riveria's side under the cover of Kobayashi and Lefiya.
The moment it comes together.
"Become a great forest light barrier to protect us - my name is Alf!"
The emerald green magic circle spread out under the feet of the Elf Royal Family shines brightly, and then directly transforms into a dome-shaped green field.
Including the protector himself, all fifteen people were covered.
And at almost the same time.
"——Firestorm!"
The fallen fairy who finished singing also activated powerful magic with terrifying power.
The world burned red.
There was a fiery storm like a flaming fairy, blowing from the front like a tsunami. The red fire wave turned into a torrent and rushed in, occupying the entire field of vision.
Including the monsters, the sea of fire and the dome-shaped barrier magic covering and protecting everyone engulfed the entire floor.
boom!
The powerful magic collided with the barrier and made a roar. Riveria held the wand with both hands and groaned in pain.
On the entire floor, only this place seemed like a paradise, while the outside had turned into a flaming hell.
The group of people standing behind her were also frightened by the scene outside the barrier and could not move.
But there was no time for them to be in a daze.
Snap, snap——
The sound of shattering woke them.
The strongest defensive barrier of the most powerful mage in Labyrinth City has cracks at this moment, and the cracks are still increasing.
"Knot, barrier..."
Everyone's faces were ashen.
Seeing the flames and sulfur coming from the front, and feeling the scorching heat of hell, Riveria yelled:
"——Grace, protect them!"
The next moment, the barrier magic made a sharp sound and exploded in all directions.
A huge wave of fire surged forward, Riveria was washed away, and Grace raised a large shield to block it in front.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
The powerful dwarf screamed at the top of his lungs.
The rest of the people hid behind him, but as if they were mocking them for not overestimating their own capabilities, the ferocious wave of fire dispersed the raised shield in just an instant, and even the helmets and armors of the dwarf warriors were not left behind.
But even so, Grace did not flinch. She still opened her arms and used her whole body to block the fierce karma fire, like the strong muscles carved from marble colliding with the fire storm!
Then, big bang!
boom------
As the field of vision was occupied by scorching light, fierce flames attacked ferociously, and everyone was blown away with the force of bursting the embankment.
Liu Zi stood in front of Xiao Lin, trying to protect him. Now the entire floor is covered in fire and rain, and the passages are blocked by vines. There is no room to escape, so the doll girl can only think of this method to protect her master.
But at the moment when the flames were about to hit, Xiao Lin turned his arm and pulled Liu Zi into his arms and hugged her tightly.
She is a doll girl, but she cannot be resurrected like a human being. If it couldn't be repaired because it was melted by the fire, Xiao Lin would be heartbroken.
The sound of burning everything was so intense that no one could even scream.
The march of fire swept away everything.
Only ashes were left on the ground that was set ablaze by wildfires. Monsters, magic stones, and even dense forests all disappeared without a trace, turning into a scorched earth.
With the fallen fairy spirit in the center of the floor as the boundary, this place has completely become another world.
Despite the buffering of the barrier, everyone was still scarred. He supported his arms and lifted his body out of the ground while moaning uncontrollably.
look around.
Riveria fell to the ground along with the broken silver staff, and the holy cloth that was supposed to be highly resistant to magic became tattered.
Grace lay on her back with burns all over her body. He stood up to protect everyone, and all his armor was melted.
Seeing this scene, not only the frightened supporters, but also Sword Princess Ais and others showed desperate expressions.
"Rivelia, Grace..."
Ace's lips made a hoarse sound.
But immediately, she realized something was wrong.
She only saw thirteen people present, and two people disappeared. Not even by his side, nor by Finn's protection.
"Xiao Lin...Xiao Lin?!"
She called out the name of that strength.
The naturally stupid girl became nervous in a rare way. She didn't see a familiar figure. Following her call, everyone began to look around hurriedly.
Difficult, could it be said...
It is undoubtedly difficult for LV2 adventurers to survive under such a powerful large-scale magic, and everyone's heart is cast into a shadow.
It seriously affected the morale of the adventurers.
But the enemy seemed to be adding insult to injury, not giving them a chance to breathe.
"O ground, roar—"
The fallen fairy smiled and began to sing.
The dark magic circle unfolded, and there was no need for cooling down time. The monster once again mobilized its magic power to activate magic, making everyone freeze.
"Come on, come on, Earth Shell————"
The fallen fairy constructed the chant smoothly but too quickly, and before Ais and others had recovered from the impact, they activated magic again.
"——Meteor shower!"
The light of the magic circle shines directly above, and the sky on the floor is shrouded in darkness and light.
Huge magic power gathered at one point.
Immediately afterwards, a group of black meteorites appeared.
————! ! !
Seeing that the magic was about to fall, Sword Girl Ais at the front had dull eyes, and her body subconsciously wanted to escape from the magic range.
But as a blue figure blocked the front, her movements suddenly stopped.
The man in front of him raised his right hand high, and the fierce air flow wrapped around his left hand to the feathers on his back and the crook of his right arm, making a sound like flowing water, and the violent meteor shower that was about to hit also melted away at this moment.
Like water droplets merging into a river, causing ripples, which soon gradually calmed down. He held up a small safe space for Ais behind him.
This figure is Xiao Lin!
What on earth is that blue Yuori?
and……
Why isn't he wearing any clothes?
Big doubts appeared in Sword Girl's little head.
Do you remember the goddess ribbon (Haori) that is immune to magic in Chapter 188?
(End of chapter)
