Chapter 131: Half a Step to the Peak of Level 40 Great Perfection!
The Minotaur's figure was abnormally tall, its entire body exuding an astonishingly oppressive aura.
Bulging muscles, a shockingly heavy battle axe, and crimson eyes.
Upon seeing Liam and the others, it let out a roar and charged towards Liam.
"ROAR!"
A deafening roar resounded. Every step the Minotaur took smashed an astonishing crater into the ground.
At the Minotaur's movement, Liam gripped his sharp blade, eager to fight.
Oh? Instead of running away, you're approaching me?
Useless, useless!
Thinking this, he began to consider what attack methods to use in the battle.
Fighting spirit burned fiercely in his chest.
Thrusting Smash was released at this moment. At the same time, the Flowing Stance skill was also activated.
A slash of astonishing power was released along with Thrusting Smash.
Liam, with a speed even swifter than the Minotaur's charge, approached the other party.
He struck second but arrived first. His weapon, infused with some Selfless Sword Aura, after a high-speed horizontal push, delivered an upward slash.
The tall Minotaur was actually sent flying into the air by a human much smaller than it.
Its fresh blood spurted from the gash.
The Minotaur roared in anger, but its body, being in mid-air, lost its balance and couldn't leverage any force, becoming like fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.
Taking advantage of the opponent being airborne, Liam slashed out a multitude of sword lights towards it.
The numerous sword lights turned into a blurry sword shadow.
Liam didn't even release his Selfless Sword Aura.
The tall Minotaur was sliced into pieces by Liam.
"Clatter, clatter…"
That was the sound of many magic stones and materials falling to the ground.
With the death of the Minotaurs, they rolled on the ground.
「Exp +68」
Just this much experience?
That's right. For monsters that can be dealt with in just one or two moves, how could there be a generous reward?
After killing the monsters, Liam felt a bit bored and dull.
His stamina, up to this point, had barely been consumed.
Cleaning the two weapons in his hands, he looked back at the group.
"Rest for a moment, then we move out immediately."
"Yes!"
Lili hurriedly stepped forward to collect the dropped materials and magic stones from the ground.
Too strong!
This was Cassandra's thought.
They had come all the way to the fifteenth floor, but now, she was stunned that she hadn't cast a single healing magic.
Liam's power directly refreshed Cassandra's understanding of Dungeon adventuring.
Is this really the perilous Dungeon adventure?
Lili had no other thoughts; she just wanted to perform as best as she could.
As a supporter, all she could do was efficiently carry out her duties as a supporter.
Mikoto's perception was once again refreshed by Liam's power. This was already the fifteenth floor.
But the Minotaurs on this floor were actually killed by Liam in two moves.
She didn't even have time to cast her gravity magic to assist Liam.
It was just, thinking of Captain Liam's order:
He would be the main attacker; the others just had to handle the leftovers.
Mikoto had long admired Liam. If only she could become a strong person like Liam.
Daphne, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded, her eyes wide.
As a commander, after seeing the Minotaur, she had originally wanted to direct everyone's positioning.
But just as she was about to say something, the battle was already over.
Only two moves, and the fifteenth-floor Minotaur was completely killed.
Liam hadn't even broken a sweat.
This level of strength was truly too exaggerated.
Daphne thought again of the War Game Liam had participated in.
So lucky. It's a good thing Daphne didn't fight in the arena back then.
Otherwise, she would most likely have been cut in half at the waist by Liam as soon as she entered the stage.
Liam's appearance looked young, harmless to humans and animals.
But the other party was clearly a decisive and ruthless master.
His powerful strength, and all sorts of extraordinary great feats, all proved that Liam's future was limitless.
Wiping the bloodstains from his weapons, confirming that the blades in his hands had returned to normal again.
Liam stood up and looked at his teammates. "Let's go, to the sixteenth floor."
Subsequently, the group continued to advance and soon entered the sixteenth floor of the Dungeon.
The environment became gloomy, and Liam sensed a gaze full of malice.
The sharp blade in his hand immediately released sword aura, slashing towards the position full of malice.
A two-meter-long sword aura flew swiftly through the air, then slashed onto a certain entity.
"Awooo…"
It was a pair of eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. Fresh blood flowed from its severed limb.
"It's a Shadow Wolf!"
Daphne exclaimed. This was a Lv3 monster.
Liam ignored Daphne's voice. When the Shadow Wolf approached again, he once again sent out a sword aura slash.
Two sword aura slashes easily dealt with the Shadow Wolf.
「Exp +66」
Not much experience, so he needed to continue exploring downwards.
Only then could Liam quickly improve his strength.
"Liam, be careful! Shadow Wolves are a type that excels in group combat. Let's get out of here quickly?"
Daphne and her close friend Cassandra were both only Lv2.
Even if the two of them teamed up, encountering a single Shadow Wolf was a perilous situation.
"Don't worry, they're just Shadow Wolves."
What do you mean, "just" Shadow Wolves? Shadow Wolves are already excessively dangerous!
A Lv2 adventurer encountering one alone is almost certain to die.
Thinking about Liam's strength just now, it seems it's okay not to run?
Liam and the others continued to advance, and without changing their route.
Before long, a large number of Shadow Wolves appeared around them.
In the dim environment, it seemed as if they were surrounded by faintly glowing wolf eyes.
Liam's body leaned slightly forward, "Everyone get down!"
Daphne and Cassandra were still confused when Mikoto forcefully pushed them to the ground.
A sharp Selfless Sword Aura spread rapidly towards the surroundings.
They only saw Liam swing his swords with both hands simultaneously, one after the other.
And so two arc-shaped sword auras spread out rapidly in all directions.
There were dozens of Shadow Wolves around, just about to pounce and bite simultaneously. The result was that they were all killed in this exaggeratedly wide-ranged and powerful slash.
「Exp +56」
「Exp +60」
「Exp +66」
...
After being pushed down, Daphne immediately saw this unforgettable scene.
An extremely sharp achievement, so unreasonably, had killed all the surrounding Shadow Wolves.
This was dozens of Lv3 Shadow Wolves. How were they wiped out just like that?
Daphne swallowed, her heart unable to calm for a long time.
After dealing with these Shadow Wolves, Liam and the others rested on the spot again for a while.
At the very least, they had to collect the valuable materials and magic stones on the ground before setting off again.
After advancing for another period of time, a Goblin settlement appeared in front of Liam and the others.
Liam looked at the people around him.
"This must be dealt with. They've gathered directly on the only path to the next floor."
Hearing Liam's command, everyone immediately got ready.
Liam, on the other hand, glanced at his weapons, "I'll release Drawing Sword first. You all are responsible for the stragglers.
For the subsequent arrangements, just listen to Daphne's command."
In the distant Goblin settlement, just looking from afar, there were about two hundred of them.
As for those hidden, the number might be even greater.
However, with so many of them, weren't they all just experience points?
Liam gripped his weapon tightly and quickly approached the Goblin settlement. As Liam got closer, the Goblins on guard around immediately started screeching.
And so the other Goblins who were still sleeping all followed suit, screeching, and then rapidly approached Liam's position.
"I was waiting for this."
Liam had deliberately attracted their attention. As long as the Goblins noticed him, they would proactively gather together.
Because this was already the sixteenth floor, the strength and equipment of these Goblins were clearly much stronger than those on the upper floors.
Not only were their figures taller, but equipment had also appeared on their bodies, and they seemed to be more intelligent.
Drawing Sword.
A sharp Selfless Sword Aura condensed within, then was fiercely released.
Two sharp blades, one after the other, launched a semi-circular slash forward.
The exaggeratedly wide-ranged slash swept swiftly across a large group of approaching Goblins.
「Exp +52」
「Exp +56」
「Exp +58」
...
Because there were too many experience messages in the background, Liam directly chose to ignore them.
More than a hundred Goblins became departed souls under Liam's slash.
A large number of magic stones and materials dropped from the bodies of these monsters.
As for the Goblins that were farther away, they were directly stunned by Liam's exaggerated slash, and some even started to flee in panic.
"Fleeing? Where can you flee to?"
Liam, holding his sharp blade, immediately dashed towards the most concentrated area of Goblins.
Triple Slash.
A high-speed displacement slash. After being infused with Selfless Sword Aura, it was released again using Secret Sword Art.
Several two-meter-long slashes, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaped a large area of Goblins.
Some Goblins wanted to run behind Liam to attack his teammates.
Liam gave them no chance.
Sharp sword aura slashes efficiently reaped all enemies near Liam.
A large amount of materials and magic stones dropped from the Goblin corpses around Liam.
The battle was over. Daphne and the others once again looked at Liam in shock.
Wasn't this strength a bit too exaggerated?
Lili, on the other hand, was in a state of painful joy. The number of Goblins was huge, so the number of dropped magic stones would naturally also increase.
Now, Liam felt a certain degree of stamina consumption.
But it was still within an acceptable range.
...
17th floor.
Liam's performance just now had greatly shocked Daphne.
She had never expected Liam's strength to be so exaggerated.
According to her knowledge, Liam had only just become an adventurer.
But his current strength had already grown so rapidly to this extent.
Now they had reached the seventeenth floor. Apart from Liam, the others hadn't even experienced a battle.
Although it was easy, there was always an indescribable feeling of guilt.
Daphne thought quickly, wanting to be as useful as possible.
"Liam, do you want to try challenging the 17th-floor lord?"
After Daphne finished speaking, she saw her teammates' strange gazes.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Mikoto coughed, "Actually, Captain Liam has already subjugated the floor lord here before.
And he did it alone."
"Eh? Already subjugated? And solo?"
Daphne and Cassandra both stared with wide eyes in shock.
She stared blankly at Liam, while the group continued to advance towards the next floor.
News like this should have spread to Orario.
But before the War Game, the Apollo Familia hadn't received any intelligence.
Daphne hadn't even heard of it.
Thinking of the Apollo Familia's previous encounter, she subconsciously looked at Liam.
This man is truly strong, dangerous, and reliable.
If he were an opponent, he could probably tear all enemies to shreds.
If he were a teammate, Captain Liam was also incomparably reliable.
Fortunately, Daphne and Cassandra were able to join this team.
Being able to join the Hestia Familia was truly the wisest decision she had ever made in her life.
Now, the Apollo Familia incident had come to an end.
If she still thought about doing something for the Apollo Familia, it was a bit unrealistic.
Daphne originally had no loyalty to the Apollo Familia to speak of.
Liam pinched his weapon, observing the surrounding situation.
This expedition, expanding the number of Familia members was indeed a very wise decision.
Now, Liam only needed to consider how to maximize his level-up.
As for logistics, command, sensory tracking, and so on, he could safely leave it to his teammates.
This feeling was awesome.
Now, Liam would no longer overly pursue individual heroism.
And the strength development of the Familia members also had to be put on the agenda.
He thought for a moment, then turned around.
"Everyone, for the next Dungeon exploration, I will still be the main force in advancing.
As for the return trip, I'll leave it to you all."
"No problem, Captain!"
The others also nodded.
During the forward exploration, they hadn't been of any use.
Now, everyone had a fire in their bellies.
Then, they would try their best to perform well on the return trip!
In the process of continuing to advance, Liam and the others discovered a group of gargoyles.
"Gargoyles?"
Liam took the initiative to approach. These gargoyles usually acted like statues.
Only when a living creature approached would they begin to attack.
When they remained still, they had astonishing defense.
Flowing Stance activated, Selfless Sword Aura enhanced, a dazzling Drawing Sword's sword aura was released at high speed.
The hard gargoyles shattered with a boom at this moment, the cuts smooth.
After the sound appeared, a large number of gargoyles were awakened, all shaking their bodies and pouncing towards Liam.
Facing the densely packed, approaching gargoyles, Liam once again used Secret Sword Art.
Two sharp blades attacked crosswise, and the released sword aura reaped them mercilessly.
The pitch-black gargoyles, like roadside stones, were cut open cleanly by the sharp blades.
Countless sharp cries came from the mouths of these gargoyles.
Liam was in no mood to distinguish the meaning of these roars.
He just attacked more swiftly. A large number of sword aura slashes, at this time, turned into a dazzling sword rain.
「Exp +106」
「Exp +108」
「Exp +122」
...
"It's over."
After all the surrounding gargoyles were dead, Liam checked his system panel.
His level had already reached 39, and his experience bar had reached 99%.
Such astonishing leveling efficiency also made Liam exclaim in satisfaction.
Only in the deeper Dungeon layers could one obtain more experience.
This experience of rapid improvement was truly too exhilarating!
