Chapter 137: Encountering Sword Princess Ais, a Different Emotion is Born
The members of the Loki Familia had previously broken through the lower levels and reached the deep zone. Although everyone had wounds, they were not too serious.
And, even more excitingly.
Their expedition team had a farther exploration record than the last time.
Now, the two-headed dragon Amphisbaena was precisely their target on the return trip.
Although it was a floor lord, the strength of the Loki Familia's expedition team was, along with the Freya Familia, known as the strongest Familia in Orario.
Killing the two-headed dragon and harvesting all of its dropped materials was not an impossible task.
The only difference was how much their team would be consumed, and how many more injuries they would sustain.
However, by the time the members of the Loki Familia returned to the twenty-seventh floor.
In front of the wide Great Waterfall, they saw no sign of the floor lord at all.
One must know that a floor lord generally would not proactively leave its own floor.
A member of the Familia cast an exploration magic, but also found nothing.
It was just that, through the exploration perception magic, the members of the Loki Familia unexpectedly sensed the presence of other people on this floor.
As everyone knew, the Dungeon would gradually get larger as the number of floors increased.
From the sixteenth to the eighteenth floor, the overall diameter was about two kilometers.
As for the twenty-seventh floor, the diameter of the entire volume was at least ten kilometers to start with.
Therefore, the group, led by Riveria and Ais Wallenstein, was just curious. Could it be that members of the Freya Familia had also come?
As a result, what they saw was actually the Hestia Familia, led by Liam.
This gave the present members of the Loki Familia a very absurd thought.
The 27th-floor lord's figure was gone, and Liam and his group had appeared here.
Coupled with the surrounding battle scene, the smell and temperature produced by the ice breath and red mist breath, etc.
Could it be?
My god, that's a floor lord that starts at Lv5!
And it also has a terrain advantage. A monster of this level.
Liam and his group could actually deal with it?
This strength was truly ridiculously exaggerated.
Of course, the possibility of Liam and his group being able to deal with the two-headed dragon was minuscule.
Most likely, they just happened to appear here, and the floor lord here was dealt with by members of another Familia.
The Sword Princess Ais Wallenstein, who always maintained a cold attitude towards outsiders, was also touched in her heart at this time.
An absurd thought also rose in Ais's heart: it was possible that Liam had killed the two-headed dragon.
But, this was the lower levels.
And before the Familia expedition, the protagonist was only a Lv2 adventurer.
A Level 2 adventurer, why could he defeat a Lv5 two-headed dragon floor lord?
Even if he had broken through again recently, he would only have advanced to Lv3, right?
And the comprehensive strength of the two-headed dragon, even in the deep zone, was infinitely close to a Lv6 elite monster, and even a powerful monster among Lv6.
But, why could Liam achieve this?
This truly surpassed Sword Princess Ais's imagination.
So, most likely Sword Soul Liam was just passing by.
Right, most likely just passing by.
Ais was in a daze. With her perennial poker face, one couldn't tell her inner thoughts from her appearance at all.
Lefiya Viridis noticed something was wrong with Ais. She was Ais's close friend.
Even if the other party didn't write her thoughts on her face, she had already guessed pretty closely.
"Ais, are you that concerned about that Sword Soul Liam?
If you really care, you should at least take the initiative to say hello, right?"
Yes, Ais was indeed very concerned about Liam.
In all these years, it was the first time she had seen an adventurer with such potential.
He was clearly a new adventurer, so why could he create his own sword style?
She herself couldn't even do it. Of course, she wasn't jealous.
That unique Secret Sword Art, the ability to freely release slashing sword aura, and that potential for rapid growth.
Focusing on the path of swordsmanship, forging ahead to climb the pinnacle of strength.
And that impressively memorable sword intent, and so on.
The impression Liam had given her before was really too deep.
To the extent that, apart from focusing on improving her strength, Ais had also begun to care about all news concerning Liam.
She was very eager to know why Liam could improve so quickly.
She even wanted to understand Liam more, wanting to draw from Liam the possibility of becoming stronger…
In order to allow her to continue to break through on the path of swordsmanship!
"Concerned?"
Ais nodded.
Lefiya Viridis showed an "auntie's smile," "Aiya, he's Sword Soul Liam.
Even I have heard many rumors about him.
For example, being the fastest adventurer to break through to Lv2, and the like."
The mad dog Bete snorted coldly upon hearing this. He had feelings for Ais.
It was just that what he couldn't figure out was.
Why would Ais, who was so focused on improving her strength, place so much importance on such a weak Lv2 adventurer?
Hmph, truly displeasing.
He looked down on those adventurers with low strength, especially those weak and unmotivated guys.
As for Liam, he found him even more displeasing.
However, as a high-level powerhouse in Orario, he also had his own pride.
At the very least, he wouldn't take the initiative to hunt down a weak guy.
If he wanted to kill someone just because he disliked them.
Then, he also couldn't possess his current strength, nor would he have become a member of the current first-tier adventurers.
So, Liam.
Can't you just die directly in the Dungeon?
Stop hopping around like a flea in front of Ais and attracting her attention.
However, Liam.
You are also a strong person. Maybe one day, you will become a strong person like me.
At that time, I will definitely give you a good beating.
So, don't die so easily in the Dungeon, you bastard!
The thoughts in the mad dog Bete's heart were very conflicted. He had a slight good impression of Liam.
But upon seeing Ais have different emotions towards Liam, he became a little angry.
Sword Princess Ais proactively left the Loki Familia's formation and came before Sword Soul Liam.
"Liam, how have you been recently? Have you made any breakthroughs in your swordsmanship?"
"Slight progress. Are you all on your return trip now?"
Liam nodded. The current Ais had made a little progress.
The former Ais, compared to Liam as a person, was more concerned with his strength.
And now, at least she would proactively care about his health first.
Liam and his group greeted the members of the Loki Familia and left directly.
It was just that they didn't ask about the floor lord.
They probably thought, based on their preconceived notions, that with the strength of Liam and his group, they probably couldn't annihilate the floor lord.
One could only say it saved time on explanations. According to Liam's character, if they had asked, he would have admitted it generously.
But, even if he said it, they probably wouldn't believe it.
In short, only with enough strength could one stand at the pinnacle of Orario.
To be on par with or even surpass all the gods!
This was Liam's goal.
If he, who possessed the Sword Soul template, couldn't do it, then wouldn't he be too much of a waste?
After greeting the members of the Loki Familia, Liam and his group explored towards the deeper floors. Unsurprisingly, the level of his Sword Soul template reached 44, and he once again obtained 80 SP.
Seeing that he was only one level away from completing this goal, Liam's spirits were even more lifted.
Ingesting food to replenish stamina, Liam and the others once again began their Dungeon exploration.
Now, Liam and his group directly encountered a large patch of bushes.
These bushes looked very brilliant. Liam observed carefully and could even see thorny vines on them.
And in the bushes, there were even giant flowers with sharp thorns.
Anything out of the ordinary must be a demon.
Liam immediately used his sword aura, releasing it towards the distant bushes.
"Hiss…"
These bushes actually let out a sharp hiss.
Then, one by one, the thorny vines rapidly approached Liam's position.
"So they're alive? Then I won't be polite."
The dense vines took the initiative to approach. Liam was also not polite, compressing his Selfless Sword Aura inside his armament.
Then, he directly released the sword aura slash towards the entire thicket.
Since he couldn't be sure which of these bushes were living creatures.
Then the simplest way was naturally to just level the entire thicket completely.
Apart from fire-attribute magic, sword aura was also very suitable for logging.
A large amount of sword aura, at an abnormally efficient speed, swept past these treant groves.
And so, they saw a large number of tree trunks being cut in half at the waist.
Some vines that had already approached Liam went limp on their way.
A mournful cry came from the treant grove.
However, Liam didn't care about this or that.
He directly used Triple Slash and drilled into this wide treant grove.
A large amount of sword aura fell towards the surroundings.
Patches of trees collapsed, and in the process.
From the depths of the jungle, a large number of cat demons drilled out.
"Oh, there are other monsters too. What a pleasant surprise."
The number of cat demons seemed to be in the hundreds or even thousands.
Liam didn't calculate the specific number; anyway, they were all just a string of numbers.
Whether it was treants, or cat demons, and other Dungeon monsters.
They would all eventually turn into experience points, Valis, or other things, helping him improve his comprehensive strength.
Thinking this, Liam continued to increase his slashing speed.
After seeing a slight clearing appear around him, Liam, with his back to Mikoto and the others, released a Drawing Sword of nearly three hundred degrees in front of him.
Two Drawing Sword auras, one after the other, swept across Liam's surroundings.
Unquestionably, it cut a large number of trees in half at the waist.
At least a hundred cat demons lost their lives in this attack.
The number of surrounding enemies was rapidly decreasing, which made Liam slightly disappointed.
One could only say that the current floors were still not deep enough.
He hadn't truly had his fill yet.
The awakened Sword Saint should probably major in sword aura and sword intent.
Of course, close-range sword skills wouldn't be neglected either.
To pursue a higher realm, one probably wouldn't force techniques anymore.
But rather, more profoundly comprehend the heavens and the earth, to comprehend sword intent and sword aura on a deeper level.
In daily life and battle, continuously accumulate sword momentum on the weapon, and in actual combat and training, continuously study the mysteries of sword aura.
Comprehending sword intent in life, breaking through to a deeper realm.
Currently, this was Liam's speculation about the level fifty awakening.
As for how it would actually be, he would only know after awakening.
While Liam was fighting, a premonition of danger rose in his heart.
And so he immediately turned around and unleashed Triple Slash towards his side.
And in the next moment, a flower with ferocious thorns opened its mouth full of dense teeth and bit towards Liam.
It was just that what greeted it was the sword aura released by Liam's slash.
And so, this piranha plant was also immediately slain.
As the number of floors deepened, the monsters here also became stranger and stranger.
By the time Liam stopped his attack, the entire dense treant grove had been completely eliminated.
Cat demons, treants, and the like, not a single one was left.
The only thing still alive was the small grass on the ground, if small grass also counted as a living thing.
Letting out a slight sigh of relief, Liam immediately rested on the spot, recovering his stamina as quickly as possible.
Lili, in the distance, approached at the first moment and collected a large amount of monster materials.
As for the others, they were all on standby at all times.
Those with long-range support means also had their arrows or support magic ready at all times.
To ensure that they could provide support at the first moment if Liam encountered danger.
Of course, what they were doing now was only providing moral support to Liam.
After a brief supplement, Liam and the others once again advanced, exploring a deeper floor.
As the number of floors increased, the strength of the monsters encountered naturally also became stronger.
Exploring and fighting at the same time, Liam didn't know how many waves of monsters he had encountered.
Now, dozens of new monster groups had appeared.
They were lying on the ground, their bodies a blackish-red color.
A mole group? Or pangolins?
Liam didn't know what this monster was called.
But it looked like a giant rat, its physique reaching the shoulder height of a medium-sized dog.
Probably the shoulder height and weight of an adult border collie.
They had crimson eyes, ferocious mouths, hard scales on their backs, and their claws were pitch-black and incomparably sharp.
The moment they saw Liam, their numbers quickly increased from dozens to hundreds.
Not only that, but on the ground, on the surrounding cave walls, and even on the ceiling, rocks were constantly falling.
And then more pangolin-like monsters approached Liam and the others.
"It's not very good for releasing Drawing Sword."
But it didn't matter. It was just not very good for releasing Drawing Sword.
He couldn't possibly lie on the ground and then release a slash, right?
It felt a bit undignified. And so Liam once again drilled into the monster group and launched an attack.
These monsters would even stack on top of each other to increase their defensive strength.
But such a method was useless to Liam. On the contrary, because of their stacking, it made it easier for Liam to release his sword aura.
It wasn't until all the monsters that had appeared before him were slain that Liam had the time to check his Sword Soul template's background.
And then he was pleasantly surprised to see that on his Sword Soul template, his level had reached 45.
Truly invigorating news.
Then he continued to cast his gaze towards the skill column.
Unsurprisingly, he saw the new skill he could learn at level 45.
"Illusion Sword Dance."
This skill was a powerful skill he had longed for for a long time!
This should be the most destructive skill before awakening, right?
