It was at this moment that Riveria replenished everyone's defensive magic. Although the thin layer of barrier seemed unreliable, its actual protective power was enough to withstand the high-temperature bombardment of the "Cannon Dragon" on the 58th floor!
In some ways, it is very similar to Zagnot's anti-magic barrier.
"Lefia! The task of holding them off is yours! I'll replenish your power!"
As the strongest mage, Riveria's magical damage is too high and too great, making her rather passive when dealing with Zagnot.
But Lefia is different. Her volley of fire javelins, like Ryu's Wind of Light, is a prime example of something that is impressive in appearance but lacks real power.
And that locking and tracking arc-shaped ray is perfectly suited for the current situation.
hum!
Riveria focused her mind and activated her blessing skill, "Sign of the Elf King".
Through this invisible aura, the speed at which her fellow clansmen, Lefia, can chant and the power of their spells will increase significantly.
"Arc-shaped ray!"
As expected, Lefia quickly unleashed a magical flash that broke through the shadows, displaying astonishing speed and considerable agility.
Like a serpent of light, it will not stop until it hits its opponent.
The Zagnot, having learned its lesson, had decided to deal damage by maneuvering, but before it could even get close, it was already entangled by this strange magic.
No matter how it leaped between the rock walls, it could not shake off the beam of light drifting back and forth behind it; the sight was strangely comical.
"Ah."
Eugene's lips curled up, and he twitched his fingertips.
Then, at the spot where the cockroach-like flying monster landed, a strange tremor suddenly occurred.
Hidden in the sturdy thicket, Zagnot's claws were tightly entangled, preventing it from breaking free.
And then, in the next second, the relentlessly pursuing arc-shaped ray struck its spine precisely. "Great!"
The tense elf girl shouted excitedly, but when the smoke cleared, the shimmering barrier on the skeleton lizard's back dealt her another blow.
This is too difficult to deal with!
Just as Lefia gripped her staff, feeling helpless, a sharp, jet-black sword aura suddenly tore through a large section of the rock wall, cleaving the monster in two!
"Ms. Ais!"
With her black and white wings spread wide, Ais's longsword gleamed with a gentle light. As she became more familiar with this state, the heights she could reach became even more astonishing.
The faintly visible halo above their heads constantly radiates spiritual energy, dispelling fear and bolstering faith.
"Thank you for your help, Lefia."
Ais positioned her sword in mid-air, her golden hair dancing wildly with the momentum of her aura.
On her side, Finn was struggling against a Destroyer.
Meanwhile, ahead, another skeletal lizard, its body riddled with cracks, was crouching low, gathering its strength for a desperate fight!
Come on, I won't let you hurt my companions again.
With unwavering faith, a pure and resilient girl, like an angel, spreads her wings and moves forward, slashing diagonally with her sword.
At this moment, her figure completely overlapped with that of the invincible Sword King.
The hero who once fought the Black Dragon alone has reappeared in the dungeon, instantly shattering the evil that was rushing towards him with an absolutely unstoppable sword light!
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out, but Zagnot, who had been struck by a sword, felt as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces, his bones shattering.
Once this front was dealt with, it determined the overwhelming direction of the battle.
Zheng!
Guns and swords clashed.
The downward slashes and the forward thrusts clashed, shattering the last evil thoughts in the dungeon.
This nightmare, which should have been built from countless bloodshed and dismembered corpses, was thus shattered by Loki's Familia.
"Great, fantastic!"
A perfect response.
As the evaluator, Eugene could only give a perfect score.
With only one wounded person (Ma Wang Zhao), they managed to break the siege of four Destroyers. Their teamwork and combat awareness were top-notch.
Compared to the Freya Familia, who were just a bunch of expendable individuals fighting their own battles, they were far superior.
"However, that alone is still not enough for me."
Eugene chuckled and retreated into the shadows.
His work is far from over.
The feat of slaying these few monsters isn't enough to level up the entire team.
The real horror is yet to come.
……
The underground city, level 49.
Eugene's two Wood Release clones traveled swiftly and soon arrived at this boundless "Great Wilderness".
Using Wood Release to levitate high above the earth, at the horizon, a majestic, mountain-like cyclops, exuding savage ferocity, was pacing.
"You are the one."
The two Eugenes exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.
They pressed the Flying Thunder God seal on the ground, instantly summoning Eugene's true form.
"Hmm~ That's a big guy."
"Of course, you can make it even bigger."
Eugene opened the system repository and reached in with a smile.
As soon as he pulled his hand out, the air in this desolate wilderness began to boil.
Yes.
The dungeon felt it once again.
The blood of the gods is a lie.
293 Three heads and six arms? Are you also the Third Prince?
Ota's legendary achievement of breaking through to level 7 was accomplished by defeating the terminally ill Chardo in a one-on-one duel.
This also means that in order to upgrade from level 6, in addition to meeting the attribute requirements, one must at least have a victory in a one-on-one battle against a higher-level opponent.
Despite the huge commotion Eugene caused, the creatures he summoned were nothing more than four level 6 peak-level Zagnots.
Although these assassins are qualified to be rated as level seven due to the first-sight kill mechanism, that is still not comparable to defeating a hexagonal warrior like Chardo.
"call--"
After regrouping, Finn and his men huddled together, still shaken by the experience.
Although this victory has laid the foundation for everyone's confidence, it remains to be seen what difficulties they will encounter if they continue to decline.
"Who knows, there might be more of these things down there."
Riveria voiced her worst-case scenario: for her, Zagnots were a natural counter to her; she wouldn't dare say she could win even against just one, let alone four.
Not to mention the still-naive Lefia.
These dark assassins possess short-range burst power even stronger than Bert; once they get close, their claws are deadly.
Those two fragile mages couldn't even defend themselves with their staffs; they'd be instantly killed if they got too close.
If it weren't for Riveria having a defensive spell as a means of survival, she really wouldn't have the confidence to continue.
"Our objective has not yet been achieved."
Finn frowned. He could understand his companions' feelings, but if they went back like this, the expedition would be essentially meaningless.
On the surface, there are opponents that are absolutely invincible, and underground, dangers lurk everywhere.
Even Finn would find it difficult to make a decision at this critical juncture.
"You don't need to worry about these monsters."
Just as they were struggling with this dilemma, a ghostly voice rang out from afar, then quickly drew closer.
Everyone was startled and turned around to face them, only to find a mysterious person wearing a black robe and a mask floating towards them.
It was none other than the long-unseen great sage, Fels.
As Uranus's messenger, she had been monitoring the underground city for many years, so she would naturally come to investigate such an event.
"You are!"
Having heard rumors of ghosts in the underground city, the members of the Loki Familia became wary.
But this time, Fels did not hide her identity. She directly revealed the guild's insignia, indicating that she was an emissary of the great god Uranus.
After the explanation, the atmosphere among everyone eased temporarily.
"Actually, I'm quite surprised that your Loki Familia was able to kill these monsters with such minimal losses."
"As far as I know, their power far surpasses that of ordinary floor owners."
As she spoke, her gaze lingered noticeably on Ais, as if she were particularly interested in her performance.
Five years ago, a conflict between the Astrea Familia, to which Ryu belonged, and the Rudra Familia caused the building to collapse, summoning the first "Destroyer" Zagnot in a thousand years.
At that time, the venomous roars emanating from the underground city, and the malice that pierced the soul, made even Uranus pale with fear.
He immediately dispatched Fels to investigate, and upon arriving at the devastated battlefield ruins, he witnessed firsthand the nightmarish beast, its body entirely black.
For five years, Zagnot's image has lingered in the minds of the gods and the great sages.
Today, she has seen that terrifying alien once again.
However, the adventurers from the new era also displayed extraordinary strength, forcefully driving away these nightmares.
