The underground city, the thirty-seventh floor.
Roar! ...
Having torn apart the shackles above his head, the Skeleton King, who was preparing to climb upwards, has now encountered a tremendous obstacle.
Despite possessing a mobile lower body, will-o'-the-wisps spreading across its body, and dual-wielding black greatswords, these powerful enhancements were utterly useless against such a tiny enemy.
【Gospel】
The short incantation brought a magical impact that shook the space and created a hurricane. The gray-haired woman leaped up as powerfully as an eagle.
The magical glow rolling across her body was so astonishing, it was as if an ancient beast was hidden within her!
"It's really noisy."
Alfia spun in mid-air, dodging Udeus's haphazard slashes, and at the same time wielded her longsword, deftly deflecting the blade of the greatsword with a single blow.
Will-o'-the-wisps swirled around her, yet remained completely untouchable.
Even against an opponent whose every strike caused catastrophic destruction, her actions were flawless.
She could easily inflict deep wounds on any random weapon she seized from the enemy. If she had suitable clothes to change into, she would even fight in a gorgeous dress.
Because, underground, no one can harm her, and no one can taint her with dust!
The talented monster, after being reborn and freed from the curse of her past life, displayed power that was simply immeasurable!
So strong!
On the broken floor, facing off against the skeletal giant lizard emitting eerie breaths, the red-haired swordswoman, Revis, exclaimed in surprise for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
Watching Alfia's battle, every still frame is like admiring a work of art.
Chasing after such a monstrous figure is both exciting and despairing.
"Squeak—!!"
Having discovered the swordsman's weakness, the Zagnot, an alien destroyer created by the destruction of a large area of terrain, launched its powerful, jointed limbs straight towards Revis's side and rear.
In today's chaotic environment, its mobility and sensory capabilities can be maximized.
With a fleeting, explosive sound, the monster, transformed into a giant black arrow, hurtled towards them, its eyes glowing crimson.
This attack was so insidious and cunning that it reached its peak.
However, Rives is not the same person she used to be.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, the magic stone on her chest shone brightly, and her aura surged.
In the final moments before Zagnot's devastating claws reached his back, he mimicked Alfia's footwork and movements, spinning rapidly to the side in a dance-like motion.
At the same time, the blade held in reverse in his hand also slashed fiercely across the air from the outside.
The force of the forward thrust and the force of the reversal collided instantly. After a short, muffled bang, the sword in Revis's hand and Zagnot's head exploded into dust at the same time.
"Sixty points, that's too slow a reaction time."
Before I could catch my breath from being overworked, that familiar sharp tongue came from behind me.
Alfia actually defeated the Skeleton King, whose body was as large as a giant tower, before she could.
The upper body was smashed to pieces, and now only the bones are slowly dissipating.
"Compared to the previous evaluations, at least it's passing."
Rives glanced at the opponent's exaggerated battle record, and snorted with some resentment, but in her heart, she was also a little happy.
As she grew closer to this mentor and elder sister, she seemed to sense that a lost emotion was slowly returning from the depths of her heart.
If it weren't for Alfia, an irrational being, who took her away with absolute power and capriciousness, Revis would be certain that she would still be in the depths of hell, preparing for her final battle with Ryu.
To live for one's mother's will, and to die to protect one's mother.
This was something she was willing to sever ties with the past to uphold.
But unexpected events always occur in the lower realm.
The beings they wanted to kill became their companions and targets to be pursued.
The mother, whom they revered as the highest authority, was actually cold and ruthless by nature.
In a normal course of events, Rives should have been lost and confused after being abandoned.
But it was Alfia again, because her inhumanly rigorous training left Revis with no time for sentimentality.
This woman possesses a face comparable to a goddess, and also exhibits goddess-like irrationality and willful behavior.
Being with her is never boring, no matter when.
But please don't have high expectations, because it will be an incredibly complex journey, a mix of pain and joy.
Even if you just want to survive, you have to do everything you can!
"Ugh……"
Her beautiful brows furrowed, revealing deep irritation.
Alfia's closed eyes were framed by her downy eyelashes that trembled incessantly.
"The noise from up there is getting louder and louder."
Starting from the fortieth floor, they suddenly encountered a massive monster feast.
Despite relentless killing and advancing, they only progressed three levels.
Although the enemy's skill level decreases as you go higher, the situation of having miscellaneous soldiers everywhere makes even basic walking a problem.
"Let's just blow up the whole building in one go."
Although it was done out of spite, Revis had no doubt about Alfia's abilities. Her long-form spell, [Annihilation - Prayer], could wipe out an entire floor in an instant, and with the substantial magic stone reserves she had along the way, it wasn't impossible for her to brute force her way up.
But if that were the case, the art style would be a bit too exaggerated.
Hmm, speaking of Alfia, is there ever a time when she doesn't exaggerate?
"At times like these, we still hope to have a reliable vanguard to pave the way."
Her Majesty's sigh stirred up memories of the past.
Although it wasn't a long time, the collaboration with Chardo seven years ago was still very pleasant.
That greatsword vanguard, who was just like himself and could be considered the strongest among humans, possessed the steadiness and majesty of an iron tower in battle. Only someone of this caliber could keep up with Alfia's pace.
The brief moment of reflection led to the dramatic scene that followed.
In a corner of the building, the wriggling roots of the giant tree sensed these two unusual auras.
The clone of Limbo, hidden in the void, sees everything clearly.
"Alfia... There are just too many unexpected things in the world."
"Since the dead have returned from the underworld, then..."
"Chardo, why don't you go and meet your old friend whom you've reunited with?"
357 If you don't have the ability, don't pretend to be something you're not.
on the ground.
The urgent intelligence delivered directly by Uranus has completely overwhelmed the Adventurers' Guild.
Abandon all current affairs and deploy all personnel to wartime crisis mode to fully cooperate with the preparations of the major main clans.
"What's going on?!" The pink-haired receptionist complained to her equally busy half-elf best friend, completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
It's only been a few years since things calmed down, is this city about to suffer another large-scale disaster?
"Finn! You've finally arrived!"
As the president waited anxiously, that familiar blond hair and the fluttering clown flag once again appeared in the crowd's view.
"It's the Loki Familia!" "Hero, the hero and the others have arrived!"
The crowd was immediately excited!
Because of the arrival of that elusive and powerful figure, Orario's power structure underwent a dramatic change overnight.
The Freya Familia, which was originally the strongest in terms of followers, size of the clan, and overall combat power, suffered a severe blow after the fall of Goddess Chariot and the four Flame Warriors.
In contrast, Loki's Familia, seeking a breakthrough amidst adversity, actually defeated the Dark Giant, whose strength reached level 8, and successfully shattered the barrier.
With three level 7 players, three level 6 players, and Ais, an ace whose true strength is close to level 8, they are truly unparalleled in their prowess.
At this time, a large-scale riot broke out in the underground city, and even Loki, the chief god, thought it was a good opportunity to show off his strength.
"President, let's reveal the information first."
After calming down the guild leader, who was so nervous he was sweating profusely, Finn, as usual, gave everyone a brief, characteristic encouragement before entering the guild to learn about the details of the dungeon.
Fels was already waiting in the conference room.
Since everyone had met before, there were no surprises.
"Did the gods anger the dungeon...? I have a feeling it's not that simple."
Finn's thumb throbbed, and he pressed his lips to his lips and groaned for a moment.
They didn't understand the relationship between the gods and the underground city, but they were very familiar with the common prohibitions among the gods.
Any act that intentionally triggers divine power will inevitably be transmitted back to the celestial realm; this is an ironclad rule that no god can violate.
According to Fels, the god in the underground city was able to mobilize immense divine power, which defied all common sense.
"The dungeon has now mobilized all its resources, increasing the number of monsters by dozens of times."
"Such a commotion is unprecedented since the age of the gods, and even Uranus cannot understand it."
Fells' account made the expressions of everyone present even more solemn.
It exceeded the expectations of that god among gods, dozens of times greater than before; the pressure represented by these words was like a mountain.
"Fortunately, the monsters were all pointing towards that god, whose location was probably on the eighteenth floor."
"So, the pressure on the ground isn't that great for now, right?" The president felt a surge of relief, but Finn couldn't manage a smile.
To find out the truth, we must go down there and investigate.
Freya's Familia is in a state of self-isolation due to previous injuries, and can only carry out basic defense on the ground. They still have to rely on themselves to go down to the ground.
