Chapter 420 Roy's debt of gratitude is never-ending
"Justice will prevail!"
The roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, resounded through the sky.
The war game between the Freya Ridge Clan and the Astrea Spring Clan has ended, and the entire city is in an uproar. The wave of victory has swept through every street and every corner, plunging the city into an unprecedented frenzy!
On the main road, the flow of people was like a flood that had burst its banks.
The crowd was bustling and cheering, flowers were scattered and flew everywhere, mixed with the joyful smell of sweat, filling the scorching air; the beer in the tavern poured out like a stream, the crisp clinking of glasses rose and fell, and gathered into a deafening roar of joy.
Countless shouts converged in the name of justice. People's faces flushed with excitement, their eyes sparkling with pure reverence and joy. They were heartfeltly happy for the glorious victory of the Astrea Familia and for the banner of justice to fly high in the city.
Apart from the sycophantic male gods of Freya's Alliance, everyone else cheered with joy.
The rise of the righteous Astrea Familia is a good thing for most people.
While a celebration even more vibrant than the festival was taking place on the surface, a silent crisis was creeping out from the dungeon like the claws of a demon.
Thirty-seven stories, a white palace.
Inside the spacious throne room, the colossal monster had no skin or muscles; its body, formed from black bones, was entirely black. Its lower body was buried in the ground, while its exposed upper body reached twenty meters in length. Its head had demonic horns, and its enormous eye sockets burned with flames.
The enormous magic stone inside the chest was protected by thick, black sternum and ribs.
It's none other than the floor owner, Udeos!
The potential abilities of monsters born in dungeons are not fixed, but fluctuate within a certain range. The same is true for floor masters, who vary from one to another.
This Udeos is clearly more powerful.
Its potential reaches the peak of LV.6, and with its specialized abilities, it is enough to rival a true LV.7.
There were only two adventurers opposite him, triggering a one-on-one duel. Udeus drew a broadsword from the ground, further increasing his combat power.
Anyone else would have been terrified and fled in panic.
Facing the floor master Udeus would be tantamount to suicide for the two adventurers; not everyone possesses the exaggerated combat power of Roy and Ota.
However, the two showed no intention of retreating; their goal was to defeat Udeus!
LV.6, Title "Sword Maiden", Ais!
LV.7, title "Nine Demon Princesses", Riveria!
Ais wore the familiar silver-white light armor, which perfectly outlined her tall and agile figure. Her face was so exquisite that it looked as if it had been carved from jade. Her skin was fair and flawless, and every feature was in perfect proportion.
Those amber-gold eyes were crystal clear, almost devoid of any emotional fluctuation. The slightly drooping corners of her eyes added an indescribable touch of naivety and innocence to her expressionless face, but her beauty carried a chilling edge. She stood there like a peerless, unsheathed blade.
Standing beside her was the elven royal Rivelia, who displayed a completely different kind of elegance.
Rivera wore a magnificent green robe, and a snow-white cloak draped over her shoulders, making her figure stand tall and straight like a pine tree on a cold mountain peak.
She was taller than Ais, standing at 1.7 meters, with a more mature and voluptuous figure, her curves subtly revealed beneath her solemn robes. Most captivating was her face, which seemed to eclipse the world around her; her long, emerald-green hair, as fine as the finest silk, shimmered with a soft and mysterious sheen, cascading down like a waterfall.
Those deep, emerald-green eyes, like those of a secret forest, seemed to hold boundless wisdom. Her features were like masterpieces meticulously sculpted by the Creator, exquisite and unparalleled, with an ethereal and sacred aura. Her beauty, transcending the mortal realm, even overshadowed true goddesses. She possessed an unparalleled elegance that walked among mortals and was not to be profaned.
"Go ahead, Ais, I'll keep an eye on the other monsters for you," Riveria said.
"Mmm!" Ais nodded gently.
This battle was a one-on-one duel between Ais and Udeus!
"Wake up!"
A whisper, like that of a wind spirit, escaped Ais's lips. Her dazzling golden hair danced wildly in the surging air currents, and the gale transformed into a tangible pale green vortex.
Ais's reforged Sword of Despair, though it was an unknown number of versions, remained unchanged in appearance. She swung it heavily, unleashing a silver slash that swept through the storm, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through space, piercing the heavens.
Wherever the strike passed, the solid ground was neatly cut open as if it were fragile cloth.
Wind Spirit Swiftness + Vengeful Princess + Lingering Light!
Although it lacks the Dragon buff, the power of this slash still surpasses two levels, reaching LV.8!
Rumble!!
The terrifying slash brutally swept across Udeus's massive, mountain-like skeletal body. The floor master of the thirty-seventh floor was unable to swing his sword in time and could only let out a deafening roar filled with resentment and rage.
All resistance is futile!
Ais's slash tore through its bones without any resistance, splitting the massive magic stone in its chest in two.
In an instant, Udeos's towering body froze, and countless large cracks spread wildly from his cleaved chest to his entire body!
Bang! !
In the despairing gray light, its black bones, which made up its body, silently crumbled like sandcastles blown away by a gale, turning into a vast expanse of gray dust and utterly annihilated into the void.
The floor owner, Udeos, has been successfully defeated!
Ais killed her opponent with a single sword strike!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Rivera gently clapped her hands together, and a crisp clapping sound rang out. "Ais, well done!"
The two had been in the dungeon for more than ten days, waiting for the floor master Udeus to regenerate so they could quickly defeat him. While this high-level monster was powerful and dangerous, it was also a great source of experience points.
Many clans are eager to launch a campaign against it, but if they are taken away by someone else, they will have to wait three months for the next opportunity.
It was all due to the influence of the Astrea Familia.
The floor master, Udeos, has a minimum combat strength of Specialization LV.6. Very few forces can defeat this monster, and most others avoid it at all costs.
The Ganesha Familia, the Hephaestus Familia, the School District—numerous forces, inspired by Roy's rise, are no longer content with the status quo and are striving forward.
"Thanks to the techniques Roy taught me." Ais's voice was filled with joy. Having learned the "Afterglow" technique, her combat power had increased by more than one level.
"Yes, we really owe them a huge favor."
Riveria smiled helplessly. Even she, Finn, and Grace couldn't learn the "Afterglow" technique, but Roy actually taught it to Ais, directly bringing Ais's firepower, which was special against monsters, to its peak.
From now on, Loki's Familia will find it much easier to defeat powerful monsters, achieving twice the results with half the effort.
"Let's go back!"
"I heard that the Astrea Familia and Freya Familia are going to have a war game. This is really worrying!"
Rivera sighed.
This information was obtained from members of the Ganesha Familia who were about to embark on an expedition to the "Dragon's Pot." They came from the surface and had just passed through this area.
Ais and Riveria were both startled.
What exactly happened on the surface? Orario's two strongest Familias are about to go to war!
It seems they've been in the dungeon for far too long!
Ais and Riveria exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, quickened their pace, their figures like streaks of light skimming the ground, rushing towards the passage leading to the upper level.
As they sped along, Rivera pursed her lips, her delicate brows furrowed, and a sense of helplessness and deep worry appeared on her elegant and beautiful face. Roy, that troublesome guy—he was driving her crazy.
This time, they've actually started a war with Freya's Familia!
In contrast, Ais's thoughts were much simpler, with only intense worry in her mind.
The image of that genius boy who always outshone her, Professor "Remnant Light," who helped her grow, appeared incredibly clearly in her mind. It turned out that his image had already been deeply imprinted in the depths of her quiet heart.
More than friends, they are both teachers and friends!
After leaving the 37th floor, one LV.6 and one LV.7 easily broke through the lower and middle floors, and Ais and Riveria quickly returned to the 18th floor.
But in this "safe floor," the two were met with chaos and smoke.
"hateful!"
"Run! That guy's gone mad!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
The panicked adventurers fled along the passage like a herd of startled beasts, their faces filled with fear and their bodies bearing various wounds.
Ais and Riveria felt a chill run down their spines.
Rivera stopped a heavily wounded adventurer who was fleeing and asked, "What happened?"
"Sword, Sword Princess! Nine Demon Princesses!"
The female adventurer looked up and saw the dazzling blonde hair and imposing emerald green figure before her. The fear on her face eased slightly, and she gasped for breath, "There's a red-haired madwoman, hacking at anyone she sees in town! We can't stop her! Quick! You must stop her!"
"A red-haired madman?"
Ais and Riveria frowned, exchanged a knowing glance, and rushed towards Rivera Town at lightning speed. When they entered the town, the horrific scene that greeted them was chilling.
What was once a peaceful haven has been transformed into a battlefield!
The sturdy wooden house was blasted open with a gruesome hole, doors and windows shattered, walls collapsed, and burning wood emitted a pungent, acrid smell. Flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire building, turning the town into a sea of fire.
Even more shocking was the sight of injured people everywhere!
Hundreds of adventurers lay sprawled on the ground, their blood staining the earth. Their bodies were covered in wounds of varying depths; some groaned in pain, while others clutched their severed limbs and howled in agony.
Amidst the sea of fire, Ais and Riveria spotted a figure that wasn't entirely unfamiliar.
Red-haired weirdo Revis!
During the Six Rings of the Fairy, Loki's Familia was forced to venture into the depths because of the trouble caused by Rives, and ultimately became embroiled in the massive war of conquest.
In reality, it was Dionysus and the Filthy Fairy who instructed them to lure Loki's Familia to that floor, where the evil dragon Nidhogg blew them up.
I never expected to meet you here again.
"Reverie!"
Ais's voice was tinged with surprise, and a genuine look of astonishment crossed her delicate face.
"Arya, we meet again. Come with me." Revis's voice was firm and left no room for refusal.
"Arya————"
Ais's eyes trembled. The name sounded so familiar, and every time it was mentioned, it warmed her heart.
"Ais, watch out!" Riveria said in a low voice.
Ais, regaining her senses, stared ahead and saw Rives's figure rush towards her in a blur.
Swish!
Ais's sword of despair transformed into a chilling, menacing light, slashing down towards Revis.
A hint of disdain flashed in Ruivis's eyes. She swayed and easily dodged Ais's LV.6 slash. The next moment, her fist was like a cannonball, its terrifying power tearing through the air and heading straight for Ais's chest.
Dangerous! !
Ais's golden pupils contracted sharply. The speed of that punch was faster and more ferocious than the last time they fought. The shadow of death enveloped her in an instant, making it impossible for her to dodge.
At the critical moment!
Riveria's melodious voice rang out, "Gather, breath of the earth—my name is Alf!"
A life entrusted to a fleeting dream!
As her "magic" development ability was activated, a magic circle appeared beneath Riveria's feet, gathering immense magical power. A dazzling rainbow-colored radiance covered Ais's body, transforming into a magnificent and resilient rainbow light garment.
boom! !
Rives's fist slammed into the rainbow light garment, causing it to tremble violently and ripple.
But in the end, it blocked the fatal blow.
Ais staggered back seven or eight steps, feeling a heavy weight in her chest.
In just a brief exchange, the experienced sides had already discerned each other's true strengths and weaknesses.
Ais and Riveria were shocked and incredulous. Judging from Revis's strength and speed, she had already reached the upper-middle level of LV.7.
They're growing way too fast!
When they first met, the other party was only LV.6. This is the talent of the weirdo: to become stronger by devouring magic stones!
Revis looked at Ais and Riveria, equally surprised. In such a short time, the two of them had improved their strength and leveled up!
Her first priority is to deal with the defensive magician!
Rives, a former adventurer herself, knew this and charged toward Riveria like a wolf.
Ais tried to stop her, but Ais, at LV.6, was visibly losing ground against Ruivis, who had reached LV.7.
Ais hasn't adjusted her mindset yet.
She mistook Revis for a "human," not a monster, and "Revenge Princess" could not be activated. With the skill ineffective, Ais was merely a vanguard warrior wielding wind magic, not particularly outstanding.
The two sides clashed within the town of Rivera, surrounded by numerous wounded. Rivera was unable to use offensive magic and could only go forward to provide support.
Don't underestimate me!
Rivera's emerald eyes flashed with a cold light. Although she was a rear guard mage, she was also a LV.7 adventurer! The staff in her hand, "Great Elf," was wrapped in a terrifying gale that tore through the air as it smashed towards Revis.
Thanks to the boost from her level, even if she just casually waves her staff, she can knock away a whole bunch of LV.5 and LV.6 adventurers at close range.
Rumble!
Faced with the fierce attack of a peer, even someone as strong as Ruiweis had no choice but to temporarily retreat. She retreated rapidly, leaving deep marks on the ground.
Just as she was about to regain her footing, Ais's sword followed her relentlessly, closing in once more.
The fierce slashes and Riveria's staff worked together seamlessly, forming a dangerous strangulation net that relentlessly forced Revis against the wall.
Seeing that she couldn't succeed immediately, Ruiwei didn't hesitate and made a tough decision to retreat.
"snort!"
Goodbye! I'll be back soon!
"Before that, you should think about how to settle these wounded soldiers, hahaha!"
Revis let out a short, cold snort, and her figure suddenly twisted in the gap between the two fierce attacks, turning into a scarlet lightning bolt, breaking away from the battle and disappearing into the darkness deep in the passage!
"Ais, wait! Don't chase after them!"
Rivera stopped Ais, who wanted to give chase. Putting aside the possibility of an ambush, there was already a significant difference in their strength, making it too dangerous.
Moreover, countless adventurers were injured in Rivera Town.
Why did she attack Rivera?
"Who knows!"
"It's inexplicable, they just barged in and started hitting people!"
Faced with Riveria's questioning, the injured adventurers complained and wailed, cursing in the most vulgar language, lamenting what a terrible misfortune they had suffered.
Ais said, "Rivia, there are no dead."
Riveria's brows furrowed more and more. Revis attacked Rivera Town, using her LV.7 power to injure countless adventurers, but she did not kill them.
The whole thing has a strange feel to it!
"Let's go back first!"
Riveria said that Rivera Town has been reduced to ruins and supplies are insufficient. If they do not return to the surface as soon as possible, hundreds of adventurers will starve to death!
The crowd hadn't lost their temper yet because the elevator would allow them to quickly return to the surface.
As long as the person is still alive, it's not a big problem.
"That red-haired weirdo might reappear. I'll stay here. Ais, you take the elevator, protect these adventurers, and go back to the surface to report!" Riveria quickly calmed the situation down.
As the vice-commander of the Loki Familia, his leadership skills might not be as good as Finn's or Roy's, but apart from that, he is a top-tier commander in the second tier.
"Um!"
Ais followed the adventurers into the elevator.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Riveria felt a sudden pang of panic. Her emerald green eyes widened as she remembered Roy's warning: try not to use that large elevator again!
"not good!"
