DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 161: Awakening Quest Activated

As the floors deepened, the Dungeon monsters Liam and his group encountered also became stronger and stronger.

It was just that in front of Liam, these monsters had no room to resist at all.

Dungeon Thirty-Sixth Floor:

The group was resting nearby, and Liam was no exception.

Now, Liam's Sword Soul template level had already reached 50. He had completed the level breakthrough before reaching the thirty-seventh floor, which was truly a joyous occasion.

And, he had obtained a full one hundred SP from level 49 to 50.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for activating the awakening quest? Activate?

Current reward is unknown."

Liam's heart suddenly accelerated. He had finally been waiting for this.

Ever since obtaining the Sword Soul template, he had been looking forward to awakening.

"Yes!"

"Ding! Exclusive awakening quest has been activated!

Quest One: Nurture twenty-four weapons with Selfless Sword Aura, quality unlimited. (Current progress 8/24)

Quest Two: Engage in a life-and-death battle that challenges a higher level.

Quest Three: Host, please elevate your own swordsmanship to break through the limit."

Looking at the information on the Sword Soul template, Liam couldn't help but frown.

"Just the first awakening, and the conditions are so harsh?"

Or, is it that only his awakening quest is special?

Liam put away his thoughts and looked at the assembled group.

"I am preparing to head to the thirty-seventh floor. If I really can't win, I will lead everyone to retreat."

Daphne, Lili, and the others broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads, "It's impossible not to be nervous, but, Captain, we believe in you!"

Afterward, Liam looked at Ryuu and Ais, "I'm counting on you. Please protect my teammates as much as possible."

Ryuu did not respond, but had already drawn her weapon.

Ais nodded, "I will do my best to protect them!"

During this period of Dungeon exploration, every time they rested, Ais was always the first to fall asleep.

This talent for rapid sleep, he really wanted it too.

Dungeon 37th Floor:

Liam and his group arrived on this floor. He came to the very center of the floor alone.

And the others all retreated to the edge.

The earth began to tremble, and a violent rumbling came from the ground.

A massive skeleton giant broke through the earth. Its massive physique and ferocious appearance had a powerful oppressive feeling just from its appearance alone.

"This is Udaeus?"

The corners of Liam's mouth lifted. If he could solo this, his adventurer ability scores would definitely reach SSS.

He drew Wrath from his sword case. The exaggeratedly large Zhanmadao was easily held in his hand.

Udaeus glanced at Liam, then at the group in the distance, and then a massive palm slapped the ground.

Liam immediately released Triple Slash to dodge the attack. It was just that this attack seemed to be just a feint.

Around Udaeus, a large number of skeleton soldiers and other undead also broke through the earth.

From a few dozen at the beginning, to gradually appearing in the hundreds.

However, the number did not increase further. Liam swung Wrath with astonishing efficiency, slashing.

Any skeleton soldiers that were about to approach Lili and the others were easily slain by him.

A tide-like attack, yet now it couldn't stop Liam's footsteps at all.

He placed Wrath by his side, and a large amount of condensed Selfless Sword Aura, carrying high-temperature flames, spread out towards the surroundings in the manner of a Drawing Sword.

Hundreds of skeleton monsters were slain by Liam.

"You don't like to fight one-on-one?"

Just as Liam finished speaking, the ground suddenly bulged up by more than ten meters.

And so he immediately changed direction in the air to dodge this attack. He only saw a ferocious bone sword appear in front of Udaeus.

Watching Udaeus grip the bone sword tightly, Liam also directly activated Wrath's second form. The entire Zhanmadao immediately transformed into a length of eight meters.

What is the ultimate of swordsmanship?

And it still wants him to break through his own limits?

Liam no longer thought too much about the awakening quest. His main attention was all on Udaeus.

This Udaeus, while its body was huge, its attack speed and power were also very exaggerated.

But fortunately, Udaeus could only stay in one place and could not move freely.

It looked as if its lower body was directly grown into the ground and couldn't come out.

The part exposed above the ground alone was ten or twenty meters high.

If Udaeus was not restricted, it was hard to imagine how strong it could be.

Using Triple Slash to dodge Udaeus's greatsword, Liam took the opportunity to slash at the opponent's torso with Wrath.

The heavy Wrath and its ferocious thorns only caused slight damage to its outer shell.

"So hard!"

He had clearly switched to Wrath's second form, but the damage to Udaeus was still so slight.

Thinking of this, Liam directly took out Pride and Original Sin.

A longsword in one hand, a heavy mace in the other.

Pride's attacks, under the enhancement of Selfless Sword Aura, began to leave small pits on Udaeus's body, as well as visible sparks.

Udaeus's bones were even harder than steel.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such a tough nut to crack. Liam's fighting spirit continued to soar.

Since conventional combat wasn't working, then let's get serious!

And so Warlord's Fervor, Selfless Sword Aura, Flowing Stance, and other skill states were all released.

Dragon-shaped sword aura coiled around Liam's armaments, and waves of golden sword gleams flickered in and out of existence.

Liam's figure also became blurry at this moment!

Triple Slash, Thrusting Smash!

Is there a possibility that dragon-shaped sword aura can be directly circulated inside the body, thereby enhancing his entire body's attributes?

Liam had tried it a few times before, and the effect was indeed there.

"Then, let's give it a try at this time!"

Liam quickly retreated, and then directly began to try to circulate it inside his body.

Surging power filled his entire body. The dragon-shaped sword aura was thus circulated inside his body.

"Then let's call this move Second Gear?"

Sword aura filled his body, and his body also became a sword at this time.

After feeling this power, Liam directly released Raging Dragon Slash at the not-far-off Udaeus.

A dazzling golden giant dragon flashed past. The roar of the giant dragon echoed continuously in the thirty-seventh floor of the Dungeon.

The weapon in his hand came into contact with Udaeus. Even at such a high speed, Liam saw that Udaeus's body was damaged.

Since it was effective, then Liam naturally would not give up.

He once again released Raging Dragon Slash several times. Each release could cause an effective wound on Udaeus's body.

Seeing Udaeus lose its balance, Liam gripped his armament with both hands and directly released Illusion Sword Dance.

Under his intentional enhancement, Udaeus's body was continuously weakened.

It was a bitter battle!

The hardness of Udaeus's body was ridiculously high. While Liam was engaged in high-intensity combat.

Ryuu, Ais, and the others were not idle either.

Some of the undead monsters that had slipped through were the trouble they needed to deal with now.

It was just that compared to these troubles, what Liam was facing was clearly more tricky.

Cassandra was a little uneasy, "What do we do? Is Captain Liam really okay?"

Mikoto and Lili were also seeing Liam in a bitter battle for the first time. Of course, to say it was a bitter battle was not quite appropriate. Rather, it seemed to have entered a white-hot stage, where neither side could unleash a decisive finishing move.

After releasing Illusion Sword Dance, Liam's movements were a bit stiff just now, and a pile of earth spikes suddenly erupted from the ground.

Liam instantly released Triple Slash to retreat, and at the same time, put Original Sin back into its scabbard.

Then in his hands, he held Envy and Pride respectively, and continued to launch his attack.

The characteristic of Envy was to reduce durability. It was a longsword.

"Can Envy be effective?"

When he sparred with Takemikazuchi before, the other party had clearly told him.

He lacked a move that could decide the outcome.

But such a move, how could it be so easily mastered?

Liam continued to maintain his high-intensity attack. If he remembered correctly, Udaeus would die as long as its skull was shattered.

The key was, with its other bones already ridiculously hard, just how hard would its skull be?

Finding an opportunity, dense golden dragon scale sword auras were released from Pride, and then heavily bombarded Udaeus's forehead.

Subsequently, Liam saw fine particles on the other's forehead.

"I can't continue to fight mindlessly! I must break through my own limits!"

Liam, while dodging the earth spike attacks on the ground, also dodged Udaeus's achievements and fists.

His remaining energy was used to think about the opponent's weaknesses.

Even after releasing Overdrive and other state abilities, Udaeus was still so tough.

During the high-intensity battle, Liam's concentration became more and more focused.

Finally, he directly entered a state of selflessness.

It was as if he himself was a sword. When facing an enemy, he just needed to slash out.

To breathe, to fight like a sword.

The earth, the air, the crystals, Udaeus, and even the weapon in his hand, all seemed to be breathing.

Liam seemed to have heard the breath of all things.

The sword aura flowing in his body was also purified at this moment.

The sword aura involuntarily overflowed from his body to the outside. Liam easily dodged Udaeus's attack.

Then in the next moment, a dazzling sword light flashed. Udaeus's right hand holding the greatsword was directly cut off at the root.

The wound was smooth.

Udaeus looked at Liam in disbelief. When did this guy in front of him become so strong?

It roared at the other party, and a large number of earth spikes once again emerged from the ground.

Liam still slashed calmly, but the erupted slash completely destroyed the earth spikes.

"Let's try this move."

Because he hadn't awakened Tempest Style yet, Liam prepared to "manually input" a youth edition first.

He knew he could do this move now.

"Extreme Ghost Sword Art: Tempest Style!"

The eight armaments in his sword case were thrown by him at once towards Udaeus's vicinity.

Udaeus was surprised to find that its body was completely unable to move. A sharp sword aura tightly fixed its body.

Illusion Sword Dance could immobilize a target from a distance. The current Liam could also do this.

Then Liam moved like he was teleporting to one of the armaments, took it, and launched a slash at Udaeus.

Then the second, the third. A large number of slashes containing different weapon special effects landed on Udaeus's body.

Liam's figure, at this moment, in the flurry of blades and swords, turned into a brilliant light and shadow. The high-frequency sound of slashing seemed to have turned into the most wonderful notes in the world.

Gathering all the sword aura in his entire body, Liam fell above Udaeus's head and once again launched Raging Dragon Slash at the opponent!

Like a golden giant dragon, falling at high speed from the sky.

At this time, the eight armaments in Liam's hands had already fitted together, turning into a giant two-handed sword.

Bringing all the armaments together, Udaeus's head was pierced by Liam.

A large number of dropped items appeared on the ground, and even a part of the greatsword in the opponent's hand fell off and turned into a piece of rare metal.

「Exp +36996」

At this time, Liam's face was a little pale, and his stamina had also been greatly consumed.

Actually, in this battle, if he couldn't break through on the spot, then he would have chosen to subjugate it with his teammates, or retreat directly.

It wasn't necessary to fight to the death here.

After seeing the harvest, Liam was also very satisfied.

Just that piece of metal that Udaeus's weapon had turned into could be sold for at least three hundred million Valis.

"Ding! Exclusive awakening quest has been activated!

Quest One: Nurture twenty-four weapons with Selfless Sword Aura, quality unlimited. (Current progress 8/24)

Quest Two: Engage in a life-and-death battle that challenges a higher level. (Completed)

Quest Three: Host, please elevate your own swordsmanship to break through the limit. (Completed)"

Listening to the breath of all things, this was Liam's current realm.

As long as he was willing, he could use the least amount of effort to cut open a target.

He could use more power, compress it, and release it.

"You've become stronger?"

Ais came up. The current Liam's entire aura had changed.

This also made her feel more urgent.

"I've clearly been watching you, but why can your strength break through so quickly?"

"Maybe this is talent?"

Liam didn't chat much on this topic. He was eager to know what his current strength was.

And so, he came to a rock.

Then he picked up a similar rock in his hand, and then he used it as the longsword in his hand.

He only saw the rock fragment in his hand directly cut a sharp sword mark on the rock in front of him.

"Nothing cannot be cut? I clearly didn't use sword aura or anything to enhance it."

This was Liam's judgment. Now, as long as he released his perception, he could easily find the weak point of a target.

Then slash down, even if he had no sword in his hand, just a bladeless rock fragment.

What a strong realm.

This discovery made Liam abnormally excited. The goal of reaching level fifty this time in the Dungeon had been completed.

"Rest on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Lili had long since collected all the materials. Apart from that piece of black metal dropped by Udaeus, the rest had been packed.

Her stomach had long since been rumbling. Mikoto and the others' flurry of activity quickly allowed Liam to enjoy a delicious meal.

His fatigue was also relieved by more than half because of these foods.

And so he lay directly on the ground and began to rest his mind with his eyes closed. Circulating the sword aura in his body before had caused some damage to his body.

To allow it to operate for a long time without any negative effects, it would still take a period of time to optimize.

Ryuu Lion was filled with shock. How long had this Liam been an adventurer? Now he could even defeat a Lv6 floor lord?

So, if Liam really invited her to join, should she join or not?
