DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 160: Researching New Sword Arts

At the very beginning, Liam used a tachi purely because it was easier to obtain, and the price was not very exaggerated. And now, Liam was no longer short of money. His own ability scores and Sword Soul template had long since met the standard.

Apart from the initial basic floors, where the environment was relatively narrow.

The deeper the floor, the more spacious the environment would become.

Even the eighteenth floor, its area had already reached half the land area of all of Orario.

Weapons of more than one meter, two meters, or even more exaggerated sizes could be used freely without restraint.

Dungeon 21st Floor:

A group of large monsters six or seven meters tall roamed around.

That massive and sluggish physique was practically telling Liam to hurry up and hit it with a giant weapon.

Liam was naturally not polite. He took out Greed and slashed at this group of monsters.

One by one, the massive monsters, in the face of Liam's exaggerated strength, were as weak as if they were made of paper.

Is this the feeling of having one's strength improved?

Even having reached the twenty-first floor, the monsters here were still as easily slain as chopping vegetables.

In the entire team, the only truly busy people left were Liam and Lili.

Although it was just carrying supplies and running to pick up dropped items, as long as one continued to move in the Dungeon, their ability scores would naturally continue to increase.

Dungeon 24th Floor:

The benchmark requirement for adventurers on this floor was Lv2, with ability scores from C to S. It was also the last floor of the middle levels.

At this time, numerous insects were approaching Liam and the others.

Liam put away Greed and then took out Original Sin.

With multiple weapon switches, Liam became more and more proficient at switching the weapons in his Seven Sins sword case.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. In the future, perhaps Liam could switch weapons at will in the middle of a battle.

Various kinds of insects approached Liam and Ais and the others.

The insect monsters formed a tide-like wave. However, Liam stood directly in front of the monsters.

He infused his Selfless Sword Aura into it, and the entire body of Original Sin flickered with black sword aura patterns.

Afterward, it turned into a ferocious mace.

Facing insects that were small in size and exaggerated in number, a blunt weapon like a mace was naturally more practical.

As Liam swung the mace, a swift gale, carrying a sharp Selfless Sword Aura, cut towards the enemy.

"BOOM!"

Liam hammered Original Sin heavily on the ground, and then the ground where Liam was located underwent a violent tremor.

The ground in front of him suddenly cracked open, and countless sword aura storms and rubble stirred up by the ground tremor all flew towards these insects.

"As expected, the efficiency has also become more efficient."

Liam recalled the feel of different weapons. To become a Sword Saint, perhaps something like a spear also needed to be mastered.

For example, assembling Original Sin with the rest of the weapons?

"Let's go, let's see if the Gem Tree is there. If it is, shall we go and challenge it?"

Ais came to Liam's side, "I happen to know a shortcut. Shall we go and see?"

Liam had indeed thought of reaching the 36th floor as quickly as possible at the beginning, but his thoughts had now changed.

Because he suddenly thought that in the future, he would definitely master a large number of weapons.

Whether it was awakening skills or subsequent higher levels.

In the later stages, at least in the DNF game of his previous life, the Sword Saint's second awakening would use various powerful sword control techniques.

As for the third awakening, that naturally goes without saying, even more powerful! Even raised to a brand new realm!

It could even be said, pursuing the ultimate of swordsmanship, to rival the gods with the body of a mortal.

Although this phrase was overused, it was indeed a more fitting line.

Liam walked side by side with Sword Princess Ais, then switched his weapon to Lust.

When traveling, the experience of using Lust to虐菜 (bully noobs/mow down weaklings) was really second to none.

And the weapon's special effects were also very good-looking. The sword aura slashed out was like cherry blossoms at five centimeters per second.

Of course, it was faster than cherry blossoms falling from a cherry tree.

In a moment's time, Liam's party arrived near the Gem Tree.

Because this place was relatively remote from the entrance to the next floor, it was not the main subjugation target of the expedition team.

"This Gem Tree, Mikoto, you few try to form a group to subjugate it? By subjugating a monster of this intensity, it should become a great feat for your future level-up."

Hearing this, Mikoto and the others nodded.

Then Liam came to the very back of the team, "This distance is just right for me. I'll cover you."

Mikoto and the others all drew their weapons. This time, apart from Ryuu Lion and Ais, everyone else surrounded it.

There were still other monsters around the Gem Tree. However, none of these monsters could get close to Lili and the others.

Although Liam was some distance away from Daphne and the others, his attack range could indeed cover them.

At this time, Liam switched to Pride.

As long as other monsters approached, Liam would activate his Selfless Sword Aura and release a long-range, piercing, arrow-shaped sword aura.

One after another, the sword auras, like a dense rain of arrows, fiercely pierced through these monsters.

After a bitter battle, Mikoto and the others finally dealt with the enemy.

With the death of the Gem Tree, the dropped materials on the ground also made Lili and the others excited.

"That's great! We can do this level of thing now!"

Although they had Liam's cover, Mikoto and the others had indeed worked together to subjugate something like a Gem Tree.

A full sense of accomplishment.

"Rest here for half an hour. I'll go for a walk around first."

In half an hour, Liam didn't run too far. Nor did he use skills to travel.

He just ran a large circle around Mikoto and the others at high speed.

The nearby monsters, in front of Liam, were basically killed in one move.

Slaying the surrounding monsters like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, Liam, keeping an eye on the time, returned on schedule.

Slightly calming his breathing, he then took food and water from Lili, hastily filling his already somewhat hungry stomach.

Ais looked at Liam, "I think I know a little bit about why you can improve so quickly.

You seem to want to make full use of every minute to improve yourself."

"Mmm, I feel that my current self is still too weak."

Mikoto looked at Liam with surprise, then hesitated to speak.

Liam's current strength had already improved so efficiently, his strength was also ridiculously powerful, and he had even directly defeated two Lv5 adventurers.

However, even with such strength, Liam still felt he was very weak?

Then what about them? They should be roadside weeds, right?

Liam, seeing that everyone had finished resting, also immediately stood up.

"Let's go. Directly to the next floor via the shortest path."

Moss Huge.

As if they had suddenly grown out of the surrounding ground, these Moss Giants broke through the earth one after another.

They even broke through the earth directly and approached Liam and the others.

Liam's hands simultaneously took out Original Sin and Wrath, and quickly fitted them together.

And so in his hands appeared a two-headed Zhanmadao, or rather, a battle spear.

The total length reached three point six meters, the blades at both ends were one point two meters long, and the central handle was now one point two meters long.

"Since the current enemy is not very strong, then let's try to develop a new sword art." With this thought, Liam swung the armament in his hand and approached these Moss Giants.

Selfless Sword Aura activated the flames on Wrath, as well as the transformation and toughness characteristics of Original Sin.

Immediately after, Triple Slash was released. He had long since known the characteristics of the Moss Giant, so he directly cut it open.

The Moss Giant had not expected Liam's power to be so terrifying. After being cut open, it immediately split and ran towards the surroundings.

However, the flames released from Wrath became even hotter, and Liam directly began a sweeping motion with the two-headed Zhanmadao.

That is, directly rotating at high speed with his two feet as the axis.

He turned into a hurricane, and flames burned fiercely on the blade at one end.

Selfless Sword Aura and flames roamed in the hurricane. The avatars that were just about to escape were directly restrained by the huge suction force, and then minced by Liam.

Triple Slash, Thrusting Smash, in the high-speed movement, the numerous monsters in front of him were easily defeated by him.

Then was the dance of the dual spears in front of him, just like the flourish of a single-handed sword, but the swing of the dual spears directly turned it into a dazzling and dangerous killing move.

These Moss Giants were thus easily slain.

The battle was over. Liam's template level had risen to 46.

It was just that this level was not enough. After Lili had finished collecting all the dropped items, they set off again.

Advancing again.

Putting away Original Sin, Liam, holding Wrath, removed the extended part of the hilt.

And so Wrath changed from a total length of one point eight meters to a total length of one point five meters.

A monster like a pine cone appeared. Not only that, but a Death Hornet also approached.

"Just right!"

The surrounding walls were all cracking, and then a large number of Death Hornets emerged from them.

Liam, holding Wrath, continued to infuse Selfless Sword Aura into it.

Scorching hot flames burned from Wrath, and then Liam continuously slashed in the direction of the monsters.

One after another, Selfless Sword Auras, attached with high-temperature flames, directly enveloped all the surrounding monsters.

Facing the seemingly endless Death Hornets, Liam, on the contrary, became interested.

One by one, the pine-cone-like monsters were easily slain by him, followed by the Death Hornets.

"This time it seems we don't need to do any monster gifting?"

The efficiency and quality of these Death Hornets appearing now were indeed very good.

Wrath in his hands also became more and more handy.

One by one, the teammates who had originally wanted to approach and support also stopped at this time.

The Death Hornets, which could originally appear by the dozens at a time, also began to be depleted in the face of Liam's attacks.

"I thought they were really endless."

Liam, who had been continuously releasing Selfless Sword Aura, had also consumed a lot of stamina.

But compared to these crazily appearing Death Hornets, and the increased experience and dropped materials, the stamina he consumed was nothing at all.

About ten or twenty minutes passed. After seeing that the surrounding walls had completely stopped producing monsters, Liam also felt it was a pity.

"A bit of a pity. If we had continued at the previous appearance frequency, our harvest would have been more efficient than advancing and killing at the same time."

Ryuu and Ais were seeing Liam's combat style for the first time. It was truly an eye-opener for them.

Lili, with tacit cooperation, quickly approached and then picked up the numerous dropped items on the ground.

This should also be considered monster gifting, right?

Dungeon 25th Floor:

Great Azure Waterfall.

The water here was very clear, its color very close to emerald blue.

The air also became very humid. Liam put Wrath into his sword case and took out Sloth and Lust.

The sharpness characteristic of Lust was really very useful.

The eight armaments in his sword case, as long as they could be used reasonably, could exert very powerful effects.

Blue Crabs approached.

Liam, on the other hand, used Sloth and Lust to cooperate with each other.

A sword aura with a freezing attribute, and a sword aura with a sharp attribute. Even if the number of approaching monsters was large.

But they were still easily slain by his attacks.

"So interesting. If possible, I really hope more can come."

It seemed that the surrounding Dungeon had responded to Liam's request. In the river near the group, one by one, monsters emerged from it, continuously approaching Liam and the others.

A large amount of Selfless Sword Aura covered all these monsters, and then killed them all.

In fact, to make it easier for Lili to collect the dropped items, Liam only killed the monsters that came onto land.

Unless necessary, Liam generally would not proactively fight in the water.

Fighting in the water, his movements would be restricted.

"Is it just that the sword aura will also be restricted?"

Liam used Sloth to release a sword aura and swung it towards the water. He only saw the ice-blue sword aura, after hitting the water surface, immediately emit a large amount of white mist.

Then the water surface visibly froze over.

Then was Lust. A cherry-blossom-colored sword aura quickly fell into the water, until it could no longer be seen due to the refraction of light.

With a bottom line in his heart, Liam knew the effect of his weapons in the water.

It seemed that if fighting in the water, armaments like Pride and Lust would be more convenient.

Especially Lust, after entering the water surface, its speed was almost not affected at all.

Liam and the others continued to advance. While advancing, monsters continuously appeared nearby.

The rhythm returned to its previous state. Apart from Liam and Lili, the others only needed to observe the surrounding environment.

Sword Princess Ais's gaze was locked on Liam's body. Since she couldn't know the other party's method of becoming stronger.

Then she would use the most stupid method, to observe the other party's movements, breathing.

In a battle between masters of swordsmanship, one basically would not look at the other party's blade.

But mainly observe the other party's body movements. Most adventurers, when fighting, will have one or two small movements.

And Liam, every time he prepared for battle, would first take a deep breath in advance, and then raise his right hand.

Compared to observing the direction of the sword, observing the swordsman's movements would provide more leeway.

Even if the other party was using a long-range attack, as long as there were still operational movements, one could deal with it in advance.

A green-scaled giant serpent emerged from the water and directly approached Liam.

It was just that the other party's movements were really too slow for Liam.

A large amount of cherry-blossom-colored sword aura enveloped it, and so this monster once again turned into magic stones and other materials.

Liam was only responsible for fighting. Lili, these dropped items were all handed over to you.

Lili's forehead was sweating, but her expression became even more excited.

"Good job, Captain!"
