Chapter 425 Re-entering the Glacial Domain, Unexpected Events Abound
The 49th floor is the "Great Wilderness".
The large-scale monster "Furmore" is the most common monster on this floor. It is huge and has potential abilities between LV.4 and LV.5. The second echelon members of the Loki Familia and the Hephaestus Familia are responsible for clearing it out.
The adventurers did their best to hold off the monsters and clear a path for the main force.
Roar! !
Just then, a deafening roar rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
Amidst the swirling ashes and dust, an "overwhelmingly large entity" burst forth from the earth, slowly rising to its feet, unleashing a roar as if it were the end of the world, and a terrifying, deafening impact.
Rumble! Rumble!!
Whenever the monster swung its long arm and slammed it into the ground, the vast wilderness trembled violently, and rocks rained down from the stone ceiling.
As the smoke and dust cleared, the enormous figure revealed its true form: a Cyclops!
Its body is over sixty meters tall, even larger than the floor master "Udeos". Its skin is grayish-white, its arms are twisted and covered with spikes like a demon, and its whole body is covered with sharp bones, white and sharp.
The enormous single eye in the center of its face was as red as blood, reflecting a blood-red scene.
It was none other than the floor owner of the 49th floor, "Baror"!
"impossible!"
The adventurers gasped in disbelief. The floor master, "Baror," had a rebirth cycle of nine months. It had been defeated by the Loki Familia before, and it was far from time to be reborn!
"Is this what Roy meant by the dungeon rampage?" Riveria's beautiful face turned ugly.
"This is troublesome!"
Finn's expression also darkened. From the emergence of the man-eating flower "Violas" on the thirty-seventh floor, followed by the filthy fairy remains, the dungeon had begun to change.
Roy was also sizing up the Cyclops, the first floor lord "Baror," whose prototype should be the evil god in Celtic mythology, the king of the Flmor clan.
"Uranus, how is the situation in the dungeon?" Roy took out his communication crystal. Rather than making wild guesses, he decided to ask the old god directly.
The others all turned their gazes toward Roy.
"The dungeon hasn't completely gone berserk yet, but it's also nearing its limit. This is a test," Uranus's aged and steady voice rang out.
Uranus, who was constantly praying and suppressing the underground city, was always aware of the changes in the other party.
"Understood!"
Roy suddenly realized that starting from the thirty-seventh floor, there were a large number of adventurers on every floor, and people were also preparing supplies on the safe floors. The number of people was approaching the critical point, and the dungeon felt a looming threat.
But it hasn't reached the point of going berserk yet.
Forcing "Baror" to regenerate was a test by the dungeon, an unexpected situation that was common practice.
Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed, realizing that all they needed to do was deal with "Barol" in front of them.
It's too late to say.
Despite the distance of seven or eight kilometers between them, the Cyclops stared at Roy and his group, its body erupting with a chilling magical power that formed an eerie red light that illuminated the entire floor.
Magic converged on the single eye of "Baror".
The light emanating from that blood-red single eye grew even more dazzling, brewing a world-destroying power.
Alfia smiled: "It was Barol's sniping, how nostalgic! I never thought I'd see it again!"
Barol's single eye is a demonic eye; its signature attack is to unleash a destructive beam that sweeps away everything in its path, covering a radius of twenty kilometers—even more exaggerated than the Poisonous Centipede Dragon. Even LV.7 adventurers would be in mortal danger.
Only Alphia could describe it so casually.
In the past, Zeus and Hera's clan had defeated countless "Baror," and no one knew more about this floor master than Alphia.
The floor owner "Baror" has a guaranteed potential ability of at least LV.7, and some individuals even reach LV.8.
But for Roy and his friends, it's not a big problem!
Let alone LV.7, even if the opponent reaches LV.8, they can't do anything to them. This team has gathered the strongest combat power in the lower realm. LV.8 is just a slightly larger slowdown.
The only problem is that they have a more important goal—the defiled immortal essence itself—and don't want to waste time here, not even a second.
"Ota!"
Roy said, "You stay here and hold it off!"
Ota has experience in attacking Barol; leaving the enemy behind to cover their retreat is enough!
'
"
Ota nodded silently, without uttering a single unnecessary word. He accepted his loss and agreed that Roy could treat Freya's Familia like dogs during this operation.
Ota's burly body took a step forward, and the massive sword in his hand, as large as a door panel, transformed into a streak of dark light that tore through the wind pressure, and he hurled it fiercely at Barol.
The greatsword traversed several kilometers with tremendous speed.
boom!
Barol instinctively raised his thick, pillar-like arm to block, but the greatsword, carrying immense force, slammed into him head-on. A terrifying shockwave erupted, forcefully knocking the behemoth backward!
The destructive beam that the single eye was brewing went out of control and deviated from its course, transforming into a destructive torrent that slammed into the massive rock wall beside it.
Sizzle—Boom!
In the blood-red demonic light that melted everything, rocks crumbled and annihilated everything, leaving a trail more than ten kilometers long, viciously embedded in the earth.
Taking advantage of this opening, Roy, without any hesitation, led the others and transformed into several swift afterimages, rushing towards the passage leading to the next floor.
We arrived at the fiftieth floor—the safe floor.
The group took the water bags handed to them by the logistics team members, uncorked them, and tilted their heads back to gulp down several mouthfuls of the cool, sweet spring water, quenching their parched and burning throats.
Moisture replenishment complete.
The brief respite passed in the blink of an eye.
Roy and the others exchanged a knowing glance, their bodies taut like bowstrings as they swiftly disappeared into the depths of the passage leading to the next floor.
Floors 52-58, Dragon's Pot!
This floor is extremely difficult to explore under normal circumstances. The bombardment from below can be fatal even to a level 5 adventurer if hit.
But now, this mechanism is too perfect!
With the help of the cannon dragon "Valgon Dragon's" bombardment, the team can quickly pass through the eight floors of "Dragon Pot". Once the arrow is released, there is no turning back. Roy takes the lead and leaps into the deep hole blasted open by the cannon fire.
The others followed suit and jumped down.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The trick wasn't new, as long as it worked; it was the same old formula. Riveria's defensive magic, "Life-Bound Dream," covered everyone, and they rained down on the ground, causing it to tremble.
Alexie and Kaguya led the other members of the Astrea Familia, including Lyra, Noin, Aster, and Neze.
Iska, Maru, Liana, and Celty cleared the monsters on the 58th floor, opening up a path and updating their progress in exploring the dungeon.
"Roy, Leon, go!"
"Leave this to us!"
Alexie activated her magic, emitting a bright and cheerful voice. Her body was enveloped in flames, and she moved with incredible speed, skimming low. Using the first-level weapon that Roy had crafted for her, she severed the heads of the cannon dragon and the flying dragon.
Kaguya, dressed in an oriental cloak, moved with elegance, like a beautiful woman strolling through a chaotic world, wielding her long blade to slay the monsters around her one by one.
The others displayed even closer teamwork, with forwards, center-backs, shortstops, defenders, and mages each fulfilling their roles, forming an impregnable fortress.
Roy and Ryu glanced at each other and smiled.
After returning from the north, Alisha, Kaguya, and Maru were promoted to LV.5. Under their leadership, the team was strong enough to deal with the monsters in the Dragon Pot.
The main force continued to advance without any hesitation.
Finally, we entered the sixtieth floor, the "Glacier Realm".
What lay before me was an absolute dead zone ruled by an eternal winter; as far as the eye could see, there was only pale whiteness.
A desolate, boundless ice field.
The biting, razor-sharp wind, carrying fine, needle-like ice shards, lashed everything in its path.
Fortunately, Roy and the others were wrapped in the school district's newly developed "All-Attribute Fairy Essence Protective Cloth". This protective cloth provided coolness when they were in the "Red Lotus Mountains", and now it continuously emitted a gentle and lasting heat to maintain everyone's body temperature.
Alphia touched the magical robe that had transformed her appearance and the all-attribute fairy spirit protective cloth on her body, her beautiful face showing great interest. Times have indeed changed.
On the icy plains, the deathly silence was shattered.
On the distant, pale horizon, the ice trembled violently, and then, an overwhelming expanse of icy blue figures surged forth like a glacial torrent bursting its banks.
Hordes of monsters, including ice bears, birds, and snow wolves, shattered the solid ice, letting out earth-shaking roars, their sharp teeth gleaming and their eyes gleaming with a sinister blue light.
Rumble!
The roars, the running sounds, and the cracking of ice all merged into a deafening roar.
The monster horde, with its madness and the power to crush all life, launched a terrifying charge against Roy and his uninvited guests who had intruded into the eternal tundra.
Even as the monsters surged like a tidal wave across the ice plains, some still provided cover for them.
Upon reaching this floor, those who made their moves were basically the best among the first-level adventurers, second only to Roy's main team in the second tier of power.
"Get out of the way, you brats!"
Mia roared like thunder, her massive body, as imposing as a mobile fortress, charged forward with an overwhelming momentum, the heavy iron shovel the size of a door in her hand transformed into a terrifying whirlwind of black light.
boom! boom! boom!
As the shovel slashed through, the monster was smashed in half and sent flying.
"The power of the demonic sword will annihilate all ages!"
Hegni transformed into his second personality, his cold face expressionless, as he continuously slashed monsters with the cursed sword in his hand, which was wreathed in ominous energy.
The next instant, blazing crimson flames, like blooming red lotuses, burst forth from his arm.
"Boom!"
The scorching flame magic pierced through the frigid air, devouring swathes of monsters across the ice plains.
Carlos Hilde!
After Hedin finished chanting, he raised the exquisite staff blade in his hand high, and in an instant, countless tiny blue lightning bolts burst forth from the void.
As his cold voice fell, tens of thousands of dazzling lightning spears filled the entire field of vision, forming a cascading waterfall of thunder.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The "fire" composed of lightning crashed down, and the ice monsters, the hard frozen soil, and the biting cold wind were completely swallowed up under the endless baptism of lightning.
The thunderous roar gradually subsided.
The swirling lightning and billowing white mist slowly dissipated, revealing a scorched earth. The ice monsters had vanished, replaced by a desolate land riddled with countless huge craters.
"That bastard Finn—he actually made me the second-in-command? I'll remember this humiliation!"
Bert the werewolf moved like a silver-gray lightning bolt, weaving through the gaps in the monster horde. His legs were like deathly afterimages, each kick accompanied by a piercing sonic boom and the muffled sound of bones shattering.
Bang! Crack!
The ice monster had its chest pierced by his steel boots and was sent flying into the air by the fierce leg wind, then crashed down like hailstones. The werewolf vented all his frustration on these unfortunate monsters.
At the same time, more figures appeared, forming a solid defensive line around them.
Haiyu, Daphne, Cassandra, Lily, Lefia—these seemingly gentle girls, when they fight, are no less formidable than anyone else.
The weapon precisely pierced the monster's magic stone, unleashing a barrage of magical light amidst a dazzling display of fire.
Under the relentless and fierce attack of these expert adventurers, the ferocious monster horde of the ice plains was torn apart and disintegrated.
The factory floor was covered with ice shards and fragments.
This paved the way for Roy's squad.
The teams fighting in the glacial region are closest to the Demon Realm where the Filthy Fairy is located, and are among the few that might be able to provide support during the campaign.
He was no less capable of healing than Amed, as were Kassandra, Hedin, and Lily, who served as the second-in-command.
Avant-garde brands like Mia and Daphne.
Thanks to the cover provided by these adventurers, Roy's main team rarely made a move, spending most of their time running through the various floors, maintaining excellent condition with both physical and mental strength at over 80-90%.
Looking at those adventurers who fought so hard, it would be a bit of a shame if they failed to defeat the corrupt fairies and evil gods and save the city.
Just as everyone's fighting spirit was becoming firm, an unexpected accident suddenly occurred.
Woohoo!
Suddenly, a howling wind, like the simultaneous screams of thousands of ice demons, arose, the clouds above rolled, and a violent blizzard descended, engulfing the entire ice field.
Everyone's view was completely taken away.
Within arm's reach, no one could be seen; apart from the deafening howl of the wind and snow and the indistinct shouts of those around him, his five senses were almost completely shut off!
The group plunged their weapons deep into the ground and lowered their bodies, otherwise they would be swept away by the strong wind.
In theory—with the strength of their team, even in the first few floors of the "Glacier Domain," it would be difficult for anything to threaten them.
Better safe than sorry!
Intuitive!
Roy activated his powers, remaining highly vigilant for any possible anomalies or lurking dangers.
I don't know how many minutes passed, but it was indeed several minutes—the blizzard that ravaged the earth, just as strangely as it appeared, suddenly stopped and dissipated.
The howling of the wind and snow came to an abrupt halt.
The instant my vision returned to clear!
"Roy!"
A cold yet familiar voice rang out close to his ear. Roy looked in the direction of the voice and his pupils dilated in shock.
As far as the eye could see, he found himself in an unfamiliar ice field, even more pale and desolate, with a biting cold wind. Apart from the graceful and beautiful elven royal woman, Riveria, standing before him, there was nothing around him!
Ryu, Alphia, Finn, Leon—everyone else had vanished without a trace. In the vast, frozen wasteland, only he and Riveria remained.
Roy frowned. What had happened? He hadn't heard anything about the blizzard and the splitting of the group.
Such unexpected situations can occur in the "Glacier Realm".
A feeling of blood connection welled up inside me.
Roy's mind raced with various pieces of information, as if he had stumbled upon something. He could hardly believe it. "Could this be the Thousand Cang Ice Garden?!"
