Chapter 136: Twisting Off the Head of Fate!
「Exp +19527」
An abnormally generous experience point reward!
Although the battle just now seemed easy, the stamina Liam consumed in a short time was abnormally exaggerated.
First was applying all the status buffs, and second was continuously releasing Raging Dragon Slash.
In the battle just now, he had continuously released it nine times.
Only then could he ensure the complete kill of the two-headed dragon Amphisbaena.
Only Raging Dragon Slash could release such astonishing destructive power, the levitating stun effect, and the movement speed of the slash.
The two-headed dragon Amphisbaena, which had exploded into a large amount of blood mist in the air, was sent flying by Liam's final Raging Dragon Slash, crashing onto the ground.
Gorgeous white scales and dragon horns fell to the ground, followed by numerous crystal-clear magic stones.
And two pieces of metal, one blue and one red, shimmering with light.
One piece was emitting a faint ice mist, while the other piece of metal was slightly spreading a red mist.
Fortunately, the scale of the emission was not very exaggerated.
Even just by observing with the naked eye, one could feel the extraordinariness of this metal material.
And the floor lord, Amphisbaena, directly turned into black smoke in the air and rapidly dissipated.
Lili's face was flushed with excitement, and even her eyes had turned into the shape of Valis.
"Wow! This is a priceless material! It can be used to create two top-tier First-Grade armaments!
Captain Liam! You're really too amazing!"
As Lili spoke, she used a pre-prepared enchanted pouch to put the two pieces of metal into it.
After packing them, she hurriedly stuffed all the scales, magic stones, and so on from the ground into her backpack.
This, was probably the so-called happy trouble?
The current Lili had poured out all the materials from her backpack and divided the backpack space.
The most valuable items were placed on one side, and the cheapest were placed in another pocket of the backpack.
If it couldn't fit, she could only bear the pain and throw away the cheapest materials first.
The Dungeon had a self-repairing function, so if she was forced to throw away the cheapest materials due to insufficient storage space.
All she could do was throw them on the ground and disguise them. And hope that on the next expedition, these materials hadn't been discovered by others.
Mikoto looked at Liam in shock. Was this Liam's current strength?
So exaggerated that it was hard to imagine. Even a Lv5 floor lord occupying a favorable terrain could be killed.
The two-headed dragon Amphisbaena, based on its performance just now, its destructive power alone had reached the level of Lv6.
But what about Liam's current strength?
To be able to fight above his level, and beat a floor lord of this level to the point where it couldn't even fight back.
Truly terrifying.
How did Liam's strength improve so exaggeratedly?
Tears flowed from the corners of Cassandra's eyes. So what Captain Liam said was all true.
Fate, this ethereal thing, could also be reversed by human effort.
And no matter what terrible prophetic dream she had, as long as Captain Liam was there, then all difficulties and crises could be easily resolved.
Daphne saw Liam kill the two-headed dragon, and the expression on her face changed from worry at the beginning to shock.
Was this the true strength of Sword Soul Liam?
This exaggerated strength, wasn't it a bit too much?
She remembered the time Liam became an adventurer was only a few dozen days.
But, he could even kill a Lv5 adventurer!
Subsequently, she saw her close friend Cassandra start to cry.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just too happy."
Cassandra hurriedly shook her head, pretending to be completely fine.
Daphne nodded with a complicated expression. "I see, that's fine. Anyway, if you have anything, you must tell me."
Her gaze turned to Sword Soul Liam. This strength, what level of adventurer was he now?
The floor lord just now, its strength was completely at the level of Lv6!
No matter how you put it, Captain Liam's combat power was really too ridiculous.
In all her years, she had never heard of such a thing.
Finally, unable to suppress the curiosity in her heart.
Daphne moved closer to Liam. At this time, he was carefully maintaining his weapons.
"Captain Liam, may I ask if it's convenient for you to tell me your adventurer level? If a hidden level is discovered by the Adventurer's Guild, you will be punished."
Daphne's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
And so everyone looked at Liam.
Seeing that everyone was so curious, Liam had nothing to hide, "I just broke through to Lv3 before this expedition."
Liam's light words once again shocked everyone present.
It was hard to imagine that the performance just now was Liam's strength at Lv3.
This strength, this level, could actually erupt with such astonishing combat power.
One could only say, as expected of Captain Liam.
"As expected of Captain Liam." Daphne's face was a bit dull. She was already so shocked she didn't know what to say.
"As expected of Captain Liam."
"As expected of Captain Liam."
...
The others immediately repeated Daphne's words. They were also so shocked by Liam that they didn't know what to say.
Liam glanced at his stats. Including the previous experience points, his experience bar had now reached ninety percent of level 43.
He had already completed a large part of his goal of reaching level 45.
But before completely breaking through to level forty-five, he would not slack off.
In this world, only strength was the most important.
"Let's rest here for now."
"Yes!"
Liam's command, everyone naturally supported unconditionally.
Except for Lili who was still dealing with the dropped materials, Mikoto immediately began to prepare food.
The others also helped out in various ways.
Liam looked at the other members of the Familia and felt a bit emotional in his heart:
As expected, when exploring the Dungeon, a team exploration was much more worry-free than him alone.
Especially on an expedition.
The role of a supporter was indispensable, as it represented logistics.
And teammates were the same.
As the number of floors gradually deepened, the time consumed for each expedition also increased.
Liam couldn't possibly be on guard every moment, even when sleeping.
Even if he could, even in his sleep, he could sense killing intent and danger.
But to be able to comfortably enjoy the ease brought by the team and fight with all his might in his best state, he wouldn't make things difficult for himself.
As for why he chose to rest on the spot, it was naturally because this kind of battle, if it could attract other monsters, would be the best.
Of course, this was the habitat of the floor lord.
Ordinary low-level monsters wouldn't dare to approach, and stronger monsters, that would be even more to Liam's liking.
The fragrant food was quickly prepared. Daphne brought the food to Liam.
"Captain, what are your thoughts now? Do we continue to explore downwards, explore on the spot, or return?"
Liam first looked at Lili, "Lili, how many supplies do we have left?"
Lili immediately opened her backpack, confirmed the supplies, and then immediately responded.
"There's still a full eighty percent left. Our efficiency during the Dungeon exploration was very high. So, the consumption of various necessary supplies is very low.
Even potions are at zero consumption."
As a supporter, Lili would also carry most of the supplies for everyone, apart from the armaments they carried with them.
Of course, everyone in Liam's Familia wouldn't carry useless supplies and let Lili bear too much of a burden.
Don't look at Lili's small size; her stamina was actually pretty good. Liam smiled, "Zero consumption of potions is naturally the best. This means none of us were injured.
Then our general direction next is still to continue down the Dungeon.
Although the Dungeon is dangerous, as the number of floors increases, the materials and various harvests we can obtain also increase.
Since we haven't encountered any danger yet, let's work hard for a bit and explore as much as possible?"
"Okay!"
"No problem, Captain Liam."
"I'm ready."
Liam's words received everyone's unanimous approval.
His goal was to raise his Sword Soul class level, and it would be best to raise his ability scores a little.
If possible, Liam planned to raise his ability scores to their theoretical limits as much as possible.
For example, all stats at SSS, so he could advance to Lv4.
Rest over.
Since only Liam had fought in the battle just now, he immediately took a nap for an hour and a half after eating.
His stamina had long since fully recovered, so he looked at the group. "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
All the preparations were complete, and the group once again began their Dungeon adventure.
In the process of continuing to advance, various monsters continued to appear.
Because the water flow on this floor was endless, there were a large number of aquatic monsters, or amphibious types.
Passing by a river, a group of merman monsters with spears proactively approached.
Liam naturally rushed up after seeing them.
If it was for the purpose of honing his swordsmanship, then it was naturally more appropriate to use close-range combat.
To kill monsters efficiently, it was best to use area-of-effect sword aura attacks.
However, since Liam's current idea was to quickly raise his level to forty-five.
Then, apart from elite monsters, floor lords, and the like, it was most appropriate to use medium-to-long-range sword aura for all other small monsters.
And so, Liam used Secret Sword Art to continue releasing a large amount of sword aura.
The sword aura he released cleverly avoided the mermen's weapons.
He even aimed directly at their weakest points.
For example, their necks, the gaps in their armor, etc.
With his movements, a large number of merman monsters fell to the ground like wheat, row after row.
Is this the feeling of experience points soaring?
Merman monsters were social animals. Liam even patiently waited for them to call their own kind.
Seeing more and more mermen, the corners of Liam's mouth couldn't help but rise.
This was the feeling, this was the kind of efficient battle he wanted!
As the battle continued, Liam hoped these mermen could last a little longer.
He longed to fight stronger enemies; he longed to become even stronger.
Even an opponent stronger than his current comprehensive strength, he wanted to give it a try, to see where his limits really were.
After dealing with the mermen, a new monster appeared before Liam and the others.
Mermaids, about thirty or forty in number.
Compared to the mermen, they were clearly more human-like. And their armor and weapons were clearly more elite.
But they were still monsters. After seeing the adventurers, they also immediately took the initiative to approach Liam and his group.
Liam also took the initiative to approach. Since the number wasn't particularly large, he wouldn't release his sword aura.
Triple Slash released, Liam himself had already quickly approached the group of mermaids.
He himself had even directly stepped onto a stream more than two meters deep.
Because he didn't have the ability to fly yet, he could only release sword aura to briefly levitate or step on water.
The mermaids clearly possessed a not-low intelligence, and their cooperation was also very tacit.
Liam used Triple Slash to approach at high speed. The mermaids then immediately threw their spears towards Liam's position.
However, Liam instantly interrupted Triple Slash and released Thrusting Smash at an exaggerated speed.
A dazzling sword aura covered Liam's front. Only a very small number of the large number of spears hit, and were then cut open by the sword aura.
Then at a speed that defied common sense, he directly sent a large number of mermaids flying.
The few mermaids at the very front directly turned into fragments and materials.
Seeing this, Liam immediately fought while retreating, trying his best to lure them onto land.
He remembered that mermaids were rare monsters.
Seeing Liam flee, these mermaids immediately followed closely behind, directly coming onto land.
The group of mermaids surrounded Liam, and dense spears and bone swords attacked him.
Try blocking a bit?
Thinking this, Liam condensed Selfless Sword Aura on his blade.
The dense attacks were like a rainstorm, falling densely around Liam.
It was just that every one of these attacks was completely defended by Liam's attacks.
Not to mention weapon collisions, the mermaids' weapons could only land on the protective sword aura of Liam's blade.
No longer considering killing the enemy, but rather how to cultivate his defensive ability.
The dense attacks were a whetstone for improving Liam's blocking ability.
It wasn't until Liam had completely seen through all the movements of these mermaids that he also got tired of playing.
And so, dragon-shaped sword aura was compressed into his dual blades.
Triple Slash, Thrusting Smash, Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash.
Various skills were released one after another. The group of mermaids, whose attacks had slowed down a bit, were directly and quickly reaped by Liam.
That sharp blade light, not a single mermaid could dodge the attack.
And so, the group of mermaids here was completely wiped out.
Lili immediately ran over frantically, "Captain Liam! Look, it's mermaid blood!
The amount is enough to directly create fifty full recovery potions!
Its effect is full recovery, including fatigue, external injuries, and abnormal statuses.
This is a rare material on par with a unicorn horn!"
Seeing Lili excitedly collecting the materials, Liam also smiled. "Since that's the case, then hurry up and collect them.
As the floors deepen, the rare materials we can obtain will only become more and more numerous!"
"Yes! If it's a full recovery potion, that's millions of Valis! It's all money!"
As they went deeper into the floors, at this time, a group of returning adventurers appeared in front of Liam and the others.
Liam had a strong impression of those people. They were members of the Loki Familia.
And the leader was Riveria!
It was just that their condition didn't look very good; almost everyone was injured.
Especially Riveria, the wounds on her body were even still dripping blood.
Everyone's complexion was not good.
Did they encounter a very powerful enemy? Did anyone die?
Liam was a little concerned, and so were Mikoto and the others.
After all, their relationship was still considered okay. There was no reason to kick them when they were down at this time.
"Need help?"
Liam led the others to proactively approach, then stopped at a position ten meters in front of them.
They had clearly just experienced an accident. The current Liam naturally had to give them a reasonably sufficient buffer time.
