Chapter 85: Chapter 85: An Adventure~
"Hehehe, Fron! Nice going."
"Jinx!"
----------------------------------
Even Ais' expression changed repeatedly at this moment.
Fighting against those monsters temporarily classified as new species was already tough enough without weapons, and with the "Monster Party" happening on the 51st floor and the birth of a super tough, thick-skinned monster like the Black Rhinoceros, it was truly...
At this moment, in a cavern room on the 51st floor of the underground labyrinth.
Two passages were blocked, and with the "Monster Party" spawning on the walls, countless monsters poured out of the tunnels like an endless tide, completely surrounding the adventurers.
Along the way, everyone had fought through several waves of monsters, then engaged in the difficult subjugation of the "Cadmus."
After that, they were caught off guard by the new species without any intelligence to rely on, and now... they were trapped in a corner, facing a true desperate situation.
The moment to test the adventurers had finally arrived.
Could they cross the "Monster Party" and break out of hell, this was both a trial of body and soul, a bond between comrades, trust and reliance intertwined, the very essence of being an adventurer!
Taking a deep breath, Finn displayed the caliber worthy of a "Braver," letting countless people know why he was the leader of one of Orario's strongest familias!
"Everyone, right now, we're going on an 'adventure'!"
"We bear the name of Lady Loki, we are Orario's strongest familia! We are also the strongest adventurers!"
"Raise your courage, use your wisdom, display your skills, and then, slay the monsters and earn glory!"
"Or... do you intend to rot away in this dungeon, crushed under its weight?"
"--!"
The momentum instantly surged as their leader's words stirred their spirits.
"What are you saying, Finn? Just a bunch of bugs, thinking they can bury us here? Don't underestimate me, old man!"
The dwarven warrior grinned, flexing the muscles on his thick arm.
"Hah, old man? Seems like your blood hasn't cooled yet, huh? Even with that old body of yours, you still want to fight!"
The young werewolf with sharp features and tattoos on his face snarled, showing his fangs.
"Who are you calling old man?"
"You, of course!"
"They're coming, "
Ais exuded a sharp aura, the essence of her "sword princess" nature.
"Rumble..."
The ground trembled violently as hordes of monsters filled the chamber, with a Black Rhinoceros among them. Countless monsters surrounded the nine-person party in layers.
"Ais, take this."
Fron tossed his short sword to Ais, because he saw that she had drawn too close to the enemy.
In this party, aside from Fron and Lefiya, Ais was also capable of magic attacks.
With her wind magic wrapped around her weapon, the weapon wouldn't corrode when killing enemies; even the explosion and corrosive fluids upon death would be blown away instantly by the raging wind magic.
"Mm, thank you."
Finn swung the silver rapier a few times and asked without turning his head:
"...Will this 'Unbreakable' weapon hold up?"
The youth smiled confidently, the only smith present, and gave his guarantee:
"Even this level of corrosive fluid can't destroy a weapon with 'Unbreakable' properties. At worst, the blade will dull and look like a wreck, and well... repairing it will cost a fortune later."
"You've already figured out the corrosive properties of the enemy? As expected of a smith."
"Eh, just a little bit."
Fron smiled, pinching his fingers together.
But Finn clearly didn't understand the meme of "just a little bit."
"Then... since the enemy can't wait any longer, let's begin as well!"
"Fron, Lefiya, unleash your strongest spells and mana, and blast them all at once!"
"Yes!"
Lefiya and Fron exchanged a glance and nodded.
The girl gripped her staff and began chanting first!
"Ahhhhh, monsters, all of you, go to hell!!!"
With the mages preparing their ultimate spells in the rear, the frontliners charged into battle!
Bete charged in first, faster than anyone else present!
His specially made boots, Flosvirt, one of the few usable weapons left, were still second-grade equipment, but plenty strong enough to kick these monsters.
With his high-speed dash and spin, he landed a heel kick that sent a five-meter-long giant worm flying.
The sheer power not only sent one flying but also knocked away the worm behind it! As a peak Lv.5 adventurer, he unleashed his overwhelming strength in rage!
"What, you think I'm gonna let you hog the spotlight, brat? I still exist, you know!"
"Boom..."
The dwarven warrior, even without his priceless first-grade weapon, was still Lv.6, one of Orario's strongest.
His peak strength and endurance, coupled with his skills, made Gareth nearly indestructible, and with his experience honed in the darkest times, he was a walking tank, single-handedly holding a third of the battle line.
Compared to Gareth's brute force, Finn's combat was like art.
His small body exploited agility to the fullest. Though wielding a weapon unfamiliar to him, not his usual Command Spear, he fought with mastery.
Even with a sword, his attacks were precise and terrifying, maximizing combat efficiency.
"Everyone, focus on blocking the enemies first! Don't rush too deep, maintain the formation! We don't have backline fire support yet, so be careful!"
"Ah? Damn it, you damn monsters, what's there to be so arrogant about? Die, all of you, die, die, die!!!"
Tiona looked speechless at her sister Tione, who had already gone berserk, her head buzzing.
Unlike the others who were barely suppressing monsters with skill and strategy due to lack of proper weapons, Ais, even with Fron's short sword, was slaughtering monsters effortlessly with wind magic enhancement!
What was truly terrifying was her habit of one-hit kills, slicing monsters cleanly in half every time.
Her hatred of monsters was fully on display, so much so that even Fron felt a chill watching her.
...
"[O ancestors of the forest, noble kin.]"
"[Answer my voice, come to the meadow, bonds of kinship, promised feasts.]"
"[Dance in circles, come, Elf Ring!]"
"[I ask of you, lend me your strength.]"
"[Elf Ring!]"
Elf Ring, summoning magic, and Lefiya's standard opener.
Meanwhile, as Lefiya began chanting, Fron narrowed his eyes and drew two hiltless swords from his bag.
"Raul, catch!"
"Ah, ah?"
"This... this is!?"
"Try it out, my first series creation. You should know how to use it, right?"
"A magic sword!?"
"Yeah, remember, when you activate it, you have to shout its name loud!"
"?"
A magic sword!
Fron's trump card, kept hidden until now, was finally revealed.
With a flash of his sword, the Pallum leader severed enemy limbs, focusing on disabling them to ensure the spellcasters could unleash their magic, clearly prioritizing results over effort.
"A magic sword!"
As for the Amazoness sisters, they fought the Black Rhinoceros head-on, holding their line well.
"Hey, hey, Fron, is that white-wrapped thing on your back really a magic sword? I never heard about this!"
Even Ais glanced back, golden eyes flashing in surprise.
"Well then, I won't hold back!"
Being able to use a magic sword was certainly exciting; after all, even the cheapest longsword-type magic sword cost at least 5 million valis.
