DN : [146] Entering the 51st Floor!
🕑 Added 2024-04-06 16:00:04 +0000 UTCA night of silence, and early the next morning, everyone was fully prepared.
After a night of good food and rest, everyone was in high spirits early in the morning.
However, everyone also understood that from now on, only the members of the first combat team would proceed to the deeper levels. Starting from the 51st floor, both the strength and quantity of monsters became terrifying.
Especially when reaching the 55th and 56th floors, they would face inter-floor attacks.
The Dragon on the 58th floor, a sub-species called Valgang that only existed in Oario's deepest layer, possessed a terrifying power that could pierce through multiple floors with a single blow.
Separated by several floors, these monsters could still sense human presence and launch inter-floor attacks.
"The members proceeding to the deepest level are me, Riveria, Gareth, Ais, Bete, Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, and August, along with the support from Raul."
No one objected to the people at the front, but August's name at the end raised some doubts. After all, August had joined the familia for a very short time, around three and a half months, even though he had achieved an unprecedented record by reaching level 4. Going to the deepest level still made them uneasy.
However, this was Finn's decision as the captain, so at this special time, no one said anything.
"Oh, Tsubaki, you will also join this operation. Please, along with Raul, serve as support."
"No problem."
Tsubaki agreed, but essentially, Finn's decision was a bit excessive. Although Tsubaki participated in this expedition, she did so as a blacksmith. Moreover, she wasn't a member of the Loki familia, so, theoretically, she shouldn't be involved in frontline actions.
The reason for agreeing was that she also wanted to see the scenery of the deepest level and because of August's affiliation with the Loki familia.
"August, we'll rely on you for support. If anything unexpected happens, you are the last resort."
"Leave it to me."
August nodded. The reason Finn arranged this was because of August's Blink magic, which could provide life-saving instant teleportation in critical situations.
"By the way, take these things with you for now. I'm afraid there won't be time later."
With a wave of his hand, August summoned magical swords around them and bottles of healing potions and universal potions.
August couldn't constantly keep an eye on everyone, so it was better for each person to have necessary items, especially universal potions, which could be life-saving.
Finn also nodded, and each person took a bottle of universal potion. As for the magical swords, except for Bete, who took five, as his magic needed recharging, the rest were given to Raul and Tsubaki.
As a support, Raul carried a huge backpack, and as a level 4, he had considerable strength.
Soon, all the members exploring the deeper levels of the 50th floor of the dungeon gathered at the entrance to the 51st floor.
Everyone was fully prepared, ready for anything.
"Well then, everyone, let's go!"
With Finn's command, everyone moved.
Unlike all the previous floors, starting from the 51st floor, it was not realistic to stay in one place. Monsters would not allow them to rest.
Therefore, they had to quickly traverse from the 51st to the 57th floor and arrive at the 58th floor.
With the fastest speed, they needed to eliminate all the monsters on the 58th floor and then gain some time to rest and reorganize before finally entering the 59th floor.
Finn, leading everyone, entered the 51st floor.
Different from others, August looked around curiously. The 51st floor's deepest area was something August experienced for the first time.
At the forefront, Tiona and Bete took the lead, responsible for clearing the monsters directly ahead.
In the middle were Finn, Ais, and Tione. They needed to conserve energy, especially Finn and Ais. Unless encountering monsters that required their intervention, even the remaining monsters from the front were dealt with by Tione.
In this team, Ais was the absolute attacking core, and Finn was the overall core.
"Die, you scum!"
Bete rushed at the forefront, showing the full extent of his proficient kicking skills. Even the monsters on the 51st floor could not withstand a few rounds against him.
"Ora Ora! Say goodbye to all of you."
Tiona also wielded a pair of double-edged swords. Due to time constraints, Tsubaki didn't have time to forge her a weapon like a large cutting weapon, so she directly forged a double-edged sword.
The two of them were like unmatched warriors on the battlefield. Wherever they went, all monsters were eliminated.
For them, if they let any monsters pass in front, it would be their own negligence and shame, so they absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, especially Bete, who was more concerned.
"Amazing~"
Lefiya, who was in the support unit at the back, watched the two people in front in amazement. These were monsters from the deepest level, yet they were easily defeated.
With the berserk wolfmen and the frenzied Amazons, having these two unmatched warriors in the front meant less pressure for the people at the back.
*ROOOOAR*
However, nothing is absolute. A huge bat monster suddenly fell from the ceiling.
"Be careful!"
Lefiya had just shouted, but Tione had already moved.
She leaped directly, and with one hand, she crushed the bat monster's head, tearing it into pieces.
The crisis was resolved this time. Lefiya looked at Tione in shock.
"Lefiya, don't look around. You're a mage, your task is to protect the comrades in front, especially in case of unexpected situations. You are the last line of defense."
"Yes, Lady Riveria."
Hearing Riveria's words, Lefiya's expression became extremely serious.
Although she was young, the back that was taught by Riveria's own hands couldn't be simple.
Navigating through the corridors of the 51st floor, August was somewhat surprised.
Unlike all the previous floors, the 51st floor seemed more like a maze. Corridors were everywhere, and it was easy to get lost.
Fortunately, Bete and Tiona were frequent visitors here and knew the exits.
"Bete, there's a big one on the upper right."
Hearing August's reminder, Bete didn't hesitate at all. He directly leaped toward the place August pointed out.
In the corner of the ceiling, a giant spider monster hung upside down. Bete immediately rushed over and kicked the spider with a powerful blow.
This was the teamwork of the Loki familia. Absolute trust in their comrades.
