Chapter 293 is already in Roy's shape.
Roar!
The powerful sound waves spread wildly, and when Anya's voice subsided, all the monsters and valiant warriors within a radius of several kilometers were covered in an eerie red light, and their bodies suddenly became heavy.
The movements of the Blazing Demon Rock became noticeably slower.
It was as if invisible chains were binding the fire dragon's wings, slowing down their flapping speed.
As for adventurers—
Those with abnormal resistance are fine; they only drop half a level. But those without this ability to develop will have their ability value almost suppressed to the lowest level of their own.
The release of skills and spells will also be delayed.
Daphne and Cassandra, wearing the "Silent Harp" earrings, were completely unaffected. With the tide turning, dealing with those fierce warriors became instantly easier.
"drink!"
Daphne roared, raised the shield Roy had forged for her, and charged forward like a heavy tank, smashing through a large group of fierce warriors.
Cassandra could also send those fierce warriors flying with a wave of her staff, a pure crushing power.
The fierce warrior glared at them with hatred.
"How despicable!" an orc exclaimed angrily, casting a debuff spell on them while giving them a buff spell in return.
"Hmph, you're besieging us in the dungeon, isn't that despicable?" Daphne sneered. They had been fighting their way from the 39th to the 44th floor, and they had all suffered considerable losses. The Freya Familia, who had been waiting here for a long time, were almost in perfect condition. Moreover, this group knew the terrain and characteristics of the deeper floors better than they did.
The timing and location are both on the other side's side!
The valiant warriors looked at each other, speechless.
"i客客客客客客客" was being brutally ravaged by Daphne and Cassandra. The fierce warrior of Freya's Familia let out a shrill scream that echoed throughout the entire floor.
Ever since they were hunted down by the Ishtar Familia and the Dark Faction, and were plunged into a desperate and dangerous situation, the girls of the Familia have developed a psychological trauma related to such things.
I've made up my mind, if we meet again, I'll beat them to a pulp!
In an instant, the valiant warriors suffered heavy casualties, including many level 4 powerhouses who were killed.
"Forehead----"
Anya touched her throat, her voice hoarse—a side effect of the magic, consuming a lot of magic power and damaging her vocal cords. Even with the physique of a high-level adventurer, it would take half a day to recover.
However, what troubled her was—
While the valiant warriors were indeed affected by her magic, her brother Allen and the four Flame Gold Warriors did not have the red glow of a negative buff.
"Why?" Anya's pupils dilated in shock.
"That stinky fly occasionally comes up with some good ideas." Allen snorted, took off the "Silent Harp" he was wearing, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it until it was crushed.
"Don't think you're the only ones with this kind of magical item!"
"Ania Fromo, using magic against us, truly defying the goddess's will!"
"Hedin had foreseen your betrayal!"
"The day before yesterday, we robbed the Hermes Familia of their equipment in the dungeon!"
Each of the four Flame Warriors spoke a phrase, and all wore the "Silent Harp," making them immune to Anya's negative magic.
Anya's face turned deathly pale; everything, including her actions, was part of the goddess Freya's scheme.
How terrible!
As expected, it was impossible to defeat the will of the gods with a mortal body! Despair turned into a strong sense of powerlessness, enveloping Anya's heart.
Burning Heaven! Dragon Flames!
Just then, Roy and Ryu raised their weapons, aimed them at Allen, and activated special effects.
Roar!
The elven holy sword drew upon the surrounding magic energy, and crimson flames coiled around its blade, transforming it into a giant dragon.
The Elf Flowing Light Dragon Staff conjured up the floor master, Amphispina, whose three heads opened and simultaneously spewed out azure flames, red mist flames, and frost flames.
The special environment of the 44th floor amplifies fire magic. It cannot be used against the Fiery Demon Rock because it is feared that it will blow up the opponent's body, causing the fire stones to fly around and easily cause accidental injuries.
At LV.7, Roy fully unleashes the Elven Holy Sword, making it more than a hundred times more powerful than at LV.3!
The blazing flames and three special dragon breaths forced Allen and the four little brothers to jump around like ants on a hot pan, looking extremely disheveled.
"She's just like us, not affected by Anya's magic. What's there to be proud of?" Roy said, as if he had won.
He and Ryu are currently at LV.7, and even if they encounter that dead pig Ota, they have the strength to fight. Allen and the four Flame Warriors have been at a disadvantage from beginning to end.
"It's that fox spirit's hateful sorcery!"
Allen and the four Flame Warriors fixed their gazes on Haruhime. They seemed to have underestimated her magic; Roy and Ryu had no reason to be that strong.
"That buff spell has a time limit, what a cheap trick!" Allen said impatiently.
The war game with the Ishtar Familia revealed a lot, including Haruhime's magic. High-level adventurers with keen insight could easily see the clues and analyze the general information.
Based on Haruhime's performance in the war game, putting aside the amplification of this magic for now, it will last for about fifteen minutes. At that time, the golden light on Roy and Ryu will dissipate and return to their original levels. As long as they can hold out until then, they will win!
Roy's eyes were cold and calculating as he plotted his own trump card. Anyone who dared to cause trouble for them in the dungeon was no ordinary bastard!
"Roy—" Ryu tugged at Roy's sleeve.
The elven girl's melodious voice flowed through his heart like a crystal-clear stream. Roy's bloodshot eyes, filled with murderous intent, regained a sliver of clarity, and he gradually calmed down. "Thank you, Ryu."
"Um!"
Ryu nodded slightly. Whether as the vice-captain of the clan or as her partner, it was one of her duties to pull Roy back when he was about to lose control.
"Phew!" Roy exhaled a breath of stale air.
So far, they have been playing very conservatively and will not use their powerful trump cards, because the 44th floor "Red Lotus Mountain Range" is an extremely unstable environment where all sorts of accidents can easily occur.
However, due to Anya's shout, it was highly likely that the fight would not continue, which is why Roy and Ryu used their equipment effects to force Allen and the four Flame Gold Warriors to retreat.
Roy's gaze fell on the black-haired cat-man opposite him. "Your attention is so focused on your sister, you've even forgotten your surroundings?"
Allen's facial muscles were twitching.
"Allen, the volcano is about to erupt!" Jariba, the eldest of the four Flame Gold Warriors, shouted loudly, while the other three looked anxious.
Anya's roar triggered a chain reaction, as if the dungeon had been provoked.
Rumble! ...
Like a giant fire god imprisoned deep within the earth roaring in fury, the volcano erupted with a deafening roar!
As far as the eye could see, towering volcanoes rose into the distance, their peaks billowing thick smoke and flames. The billowing plumes of smoke, mixed with deadly volcanic ash and toxic gases, surged into the sky with an aura of destruction, turning most of the sky red.
Following closely behind the column of smoke was a crimson torrent that seemed to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, shooting skyward from the crater!
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.
The most serious anomaly on the 44th floor of the "Red Lotus Mountain Range" is that molten lava will engulf the entire floor!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a celestial fire descending upon the world, countless chunks of lava and viscous magma crashed fiercely against the steep slopes of the volcano. Each impact triggered a deafening roar and towering waves of fire!
More molten lava flowed unstoppably downwards, engulfing everything in its path! Hard rocks melted away like butter.
The vast forty-fourth floor, the entire world of fire, seemed to be heading towards its end. The sky was filled with billowing black smoke and fire rain, and the ground was a rushing crimson torrent, burning fiercely amidst roars and the rampage of molten lava.
"Walk!"
Roy and Allen made the same judgment at the same time. They did not want to be submerged in the lava. Unlike ordinary lava, the lava here was extremely hot. Even a first-level adventurer would not be able to survive for more than a few minutes in it.
Without hesitation, both sides rushed towards the upper level.
Everyone ran for their lives, wishing they had two more legs. At this moment, no one wanted to continue fighting, unless they wanted to build themselves a tomb in the dungeon.
Ryu carried the lowest-ranking Haruhime on his shoulder and swept across like a whirlwind, covering over a hundred meters in an instant.
Behind them came a surging wave of molten lava, towering waves hundreds of meters high, blotting out the sky.
The malice of the dungeon has just erupted.
Monsters such as Flaming Demon Rock, Fire Dragon, and Flame Serpent kept emerging and blocking the way. They could bathe in the lava and would actually gain a boost.
The volcano on the 44th floor was not just one; it erupted simultaneously, with golden-red lava flowing in from all directions, completely blocking everyone's escape route.
Roy frowned. This floor was even larger than the entire Orario. They were still two hours away from the exit, and it was too late to escape using the proper route!
Rumble!
At the edge of the horizon, the churning sea of lava suddenly surged with towering waves. Crimson walls of molten lava, tens of meters high, and thick magma, carrying burning boulders and boiling bubbles, rushed up.
The scorching wind beat them to the punch, stinging everyone's skin and making their lungs feel like they were being burned when they breathed!
Daphne, Cassandra, and Anya turned pale with fright; at their level, they wouldn't survive more than a minute in that lava.
Gleneze Fromo!
Suddenly, a hysterical voice rang out from afar. It was the Freya Familia, who had split up and fled, from "Goddess Chariot" Ellen Fromo.
A surge of blue-purple lightning erupted instantly.
The cat-man transformed into a streak of light, charging forward at an astonishing speed, smashing everything in his path.
The molten lava wave, hundreds of meters high, was blasted apart by the cat-man the moment it made contact, its unstoppable force carving a path through the lava.
The four Flame Gold Warriors and many valiant warriors used ropes to hang themselves behind the charging catmen, and the group quickly disappeared from Roy and the others' sight.
"Magic?" Anya looked shocked; she had never heard of her brother having magic.
Seeing Alan Fromor forcefully break through the sea of lava, Roy smirked. "Brute force can overcome anything. It's a pity they don't have that kind of magic."
"Dance, spirits of the air, masters of light. I have made a pact with the guardian of the forest, and I pray that the song of the earth will envelop us!" Roy declared.
Liu noticed Roy chanting and immediately understood what was happening. She took a quick step and returned to Roy's side.
"Protect us! I beg you to transform into a mighty forest wall to protect us—my name is Alf!"
"Dimension·Interruption!"
As Roy finished speaking, the last syllable faded from his lips, and magic poured out like a dam breaking!
A semi-transparent, radiant, divine light shield appeared like an inverted glass bowl, protecting the terrified girls just before the destructive wave crashed down.
boom! !
The molten lava surged violently against the light shield, the ear-piercing collision sound like the howls of thousands of vengeful ghosts. The viscous, scorching lava flowed and eroded the outer wall of the light shield, making a teeth-grinding "hissing" sound!
The entire light shield trembled violently, its light flickering erratically, as if it were about to shatter at any moment. But as Roy continued to output magic power, it eventually stabilized.
Through the semi-transparent barrier, all that could be seen was a despairing crimson hell!
The Freya Familia had already escaped, leaving only them deeply immersed in the lava.
Anya slumped inside the light shield, her cat ears drooping limply. Her amber pupils reflected the scene of everything burning outside. Her voice was broken and filled with a deep-seated helplessness, "It's over. The cats can't get out of this floor anymore."
What appears to be a protective barrier now resembles a transparent tomb waiting to be slowly swallowed by lava!
Once the protective shield disappears, they will be immediately engulfed by the surging lava.
Roy and his group were not so dejected. They had experienced even more desperate and dangerous situations several times before, and could be considered seasoned veterans.
Roy said, "Cassandra."
"Yes, Captain, — Light of Thor!" Cassandra chanted quickly, following up with a healing spell.
A vibrant green light, imbued with life force, descended upon everyone, completely healing the injuries sustained in battle and the burns caused by molten lava.
Cassandra is no longer what she used to be. As a Level 4 healer, she is one of the top in the entire Orario, second only to "Battlefield Saintess" Amid and "Goddess of Gold" Haze Bellpert. After leveling up, she can completely rival those two.
Anya, who was on the verge of collapse, looked at everyone with her amber eyes. Why was she still so calm?
Ryu bent over and reached out a helping hand to Anya, who was sitting on the ground, saying, "We're a team. As long as we don't give up, there's always a way."
Anya stared blankly at Ryu, tears streaming down her face, and tightly grasped the other's small hand.
Everyone could understand Anya's situation. She hadn't entered the dungeon for six years, and suddenly finding herself in its depths, facing a desperate predicament caused by her own brother, how could she not be devastated?
However, practical problems also need to be addressed.
All the girls' eyes fell on Roy, who was like an external brain to everyone.
Roy took out the Earth Demon Sword from his spatial ring and tossed it to Ryu, gesturing for her to look upwards. "Ryu, use the Wind of Light to send them up!"
"clear!"
Holding the Earth Demon Sword, Ryu, who was in perfect harmony with Roy, instantly understood and began chanting the incantation.
"—Wind of Light!" As Ryu finished chanting, a large number of emerald green orbs of light appeared around him.
The Light Wind, possessing both light and wind attributes, is less explosive than fire and lightning magic, but it has its own unique uses. For example, under Ryu's precise control, it can blow away targets like a gust of wind.
call!
The moment Roy activated the light shield, Ryu raised her hand, and countless emerald green orbs flew out, exploding into molten lava and forming a strong updraft. Along with her, Roy, Daphne, Cassandra, Anya, and Haruhime all floated into the air.
The group was pushed towards the ceiling by the strong wind.
"It's so hot!"
Even the ceiling of this floor was burning with flames. When the girls touched the rock wall, they quickly wrapped their bodies and hands with water crystal cloths.
The magic within the water crystal cloth gradually diminished as it was consumed, but it had completed its task.
Rumble!
Ryu planted the Demon Sword of Earth in the ceiling.
The Earth Demon Sword can manipulate the terrain, with a maximum range of one kilometer. The vertical distance between the forty-fourth and forty-third floors cannot exceed this number.
Using the Earth Demon Sword, they carved a large hole in the ceiling leading to the forty-third floor. The group crawled inside, moved quickly, and returned to the forty-third floor.
Looking down at the rolling lava, the girls were still shaken. It was only thanks to their leader's resourcefulness that they were able to survive being trapped in the lava sea.
The dungeon seemed to be alive; its walls writhed and slowly repaired the gaping hole. Soon, the terrifying lava was nowhere to be seen.
"I survived again, that's great!" Daphne said with a grin, hugging her best friend Cassandra.
Cassandra also breathed a sigh of relief.
Haruhime also experienced the joy of surviving.
Only Roy and Ryu remained calm; it was a minor incident, with only a slight stain on their clothes.
Twenty minutes later, the effect of the level upgrade disappeared, and the golden light on everyone vanished.
A sense of emptiness, like falling from the heights of the clouds to the depths of the valley, enveloped their hearts. Fortunately, they were all determined adventurers; otherwise, such a huge drop could easily have made them overly reliant on Chunji's magic.
"Captain, Ryu, Daphne, Cassandra, Haruhime, I have something to say to you." Anya said solemnly, her eyes filled with tears.
Roy and Liu exchanged a glance; it seemed this bewildered little catgirl was about to open her heart to them.
"Let's leave the dungeon first, unless what you're saying helps with this goal!" Roy said.
Anya's courage, which she had just mustered, deflated like a balloon, and her cute and pretty face drooped. Her captain was truly a pragmatist.
"yes!"
The group moved uphill along the regular route.
Before they had gone far, they saw many bottles of elixirs and clothes left on the walls and the ground, as well as some weapons and armor.
Ryudo: "They belong to the Freya Familia."
"Yes!" Roy nodded. They were both in a bad situation, and the other's situation was only worse.
Meanwhile, he had a spatial ring to replenish his supplies, while Allen, the four Flame Gold Warriors, and the others would probably have to push themselves to the limit and run back to the surface in one go.
From the 43rd to the 37th floor, traces left by the Freya Familia can be seen almost everywhere.
This allows one to determine the other party's poor condition.
"Roy, do you want to?" Liu came to Roy's side, lowered her voice, and her tone was full of murderous intent. She gently stroked Roy's snow-white neck with her small hand.
The message was clear: catch up with him, strike while the iron is hot, and eliminate him completely!
Roy stared wide-eyed at the elven girl with a murderous look on her face.
Upon closer inspection, besides Anya and Haruhime, who had only recently joined the Freya Familia, Daphne and Cassandra were also eager to hunt down Freya's Familia.
The two were veterans who had been with Roy for a long time and had long since become like him.
If the people on the surface of the earth knew what they were thinking, they would probably think they were crazy.
Hunting down Freya Familia, Orario's strongest member, is practically suicide. Don't forget, they also have powerful opponents like Otto and the Dark Elf on the other side.
The Freya Familia is in a state of division.
Currently, they are only fighting against Allen's faction, but once they kill Allen and the four Flame Gold Warriors, the situation will be different. They will inevitably have to bear the wrath of the goddess Freya, and the two sides will go to war in full force!
Roy shook his head and said, "You guys are going too far!"
Liu pouted her rosy lips in dissatisfaction and muttered under her breath, "Didn't you say that revenge only leads to more revenge? It's better to nip it in the bud!"
Roy's face stiffened, and he wanted to slap himself for what he had taught them.
Roy and his group ultimately did not encounter Freya's Familia in the dungeon and successfully returned to the surface.
After washing myself in the bathhouse atop the Tower of Babel and changing into clean clothes, I ran to the guild headquarters to sell the magic stone fragments.
The Garden of Stars.
Roy, the head of the family, sat imposingly on the sofa. To his left was Astraea, and to his right was Ryu. Extending out were Tione, Tiona, Daphne, Cassandra, Lily, and Haruhime.
Like a joint trial, everyone surrounded Anya.
At Anya's request, they bound her with rope and tied her to a chair.
-
"Huff! Huff!" Anya took a deep breath and made up her mind that she should not continue.
Feelings of being tricked by the goddess Freya, the warmth of the Astrea Familia, and the unwillingness to harm her current kin were intertwined in her heart.
Anya shouted, "Actually—meow (I) am an undercover agent sent by Lady Freya to gather information about the Astrea Familia!"
"Nya is an idiot, doesn't like to use her brain, and told Goddess Freya about everyone's schedule recently. She's the most despicable traitor in the world!"
After saying this, Anya closed her eyes tightly, awaiting the judgment of the goddess and her fellow members of her clan. She was willing to accept their resentment and insults.
The hall was silent, except for Anya's voice echoing against the walls.
After a long while, Anya heard no sound, and cautiously opened her eyes.
"Just for such a small thing?"
"So disappointing!"
"I wish I hadn't come back. Lily still has a ton of things to take care of at the entertainment district."
The voices of Tione, Daphne, Lily, and others rang out, but there was no anger or resentment as Anya had imagined. The girls' faces were like those of gods, with the disappointment of bystanders who hadn't gotten any good gossip.
Anya asked in confusion, "Why are you doing this? I'm an undercover agent, sent by the goddess Freya."
Daphne said, "We know!"
"what?"
Anya's eyes were glazed over. How could you know? How could you possibly know!
Tiona flashed a bright, sunny smile and said, "The captain told us on the first day that you must have been sent by the goddess Freya."
Anya suddenly looked at Roy, who was in the main seat.
Roy laughed and said, "We have some history with the Freya Familia. It's not unreasonable for a former high-ranking adventurer from the Freya Familia to want to join the family after a little investigation."
In particular, Freya's use of charm to shield the gods from discerning lies was something Roy had already mastered.
Anya's not-so-bright mind raced through her memories of living here, unable to understand why Roy and the others, knowing she was an undercover agent, were still so kind to her. Were they playing her? Or was it—
Astrea seemed to know what the other was thinking. A gentle smile graced her beautiful face as she stepped forward and gently embraced the bewildered kitten girl, softly saying, "Anya, we absolutely did not mean to tease you. We truly consider you a companion, and I can assure you of that!"
No one could resist the gentle advances of the goddess Astrea. Anya felt as if she had returned to her mother's embrace, and tears streamed down her face.
She had never experienced this feeling since her hometown was destroyed by the black dragon overnight.
"Yes, Lady Astraea!"
