Chapter 29 [Arc Ray]

Dungeon, level 9.

On this floor close to the 10th floor, there are many caves and very short roads, and the ceiling is nearly ten meters high. Phosphorous light like sunlight sprinkles from the top of the head, dispelling the darkness.

The wood-colored walls are covered with moss, and the ground is covered with short grass, turning into a small prairie bathed in phosphorescent light from the ceiling, giving people the feeling of walking in the wilderness rather than in the wilderness. Illusion in the underground labyrinth.

From the perspective of terrain and environment, this place is different from the eight floors above, but compared with the terrain and environment, the monsters that appear here are a hodgepodge of the previous floors.

There are no new types of monsters on this floor, but the monsters that appeared on the previous floors are strengthened, so that monsters such as kobolds, goblins, and war shadows all appear in a stronger posture, blocking the plan to go to the first floor. 10th floor adventurer.

For example, at this moment, red monsters appeared in groups on this grassland, attacking the adventurers who broke into their territory.

It was an ant whose appearance was almost the same as that of an ant, except that its whole body was bright red, and its size was much larger.

Killer ants, appearing from the 7th floor, and one of the monsters known as the newcomer killers together with the war shadow that appeared on the 6th floor.

It has a solid hard shell and well-developed four claws. It can be called the best in the upper layer in terms of attack power and defense power. When it is in crisis, it can also send out pheromones that ordinary people cannot detect to call its companions. , is a tricky monster.

It is even more threatening than War Shadow, and ordinary adventurers dare not confront it head-on, let alone be besieged by hordes.

However, facing this army of killer ants that frightened lower-level adventurers, Li Ge blocked their way without fear.

Behind him, a voice as clear as a lark echoed.

"[Liberated light arrows, bow stems of holy wood, I am the master of bows]."

This is a chant, a spell to awaken magic.

"【Stop it, Goblin Archer】."

Refiya closed her eyes, held up her staff, and a thick golden magic circle appeared on the ground under her feet, which was slowly rotating.

"[Pierce through, the arrow that must hit]."

On the staff raised by Refia, a dazzling magic power was converging into light.

"[Arc Ray]."

In the next second, the light gathered on the staff was released.

A huge magic ray that can be called a "beam" turned into an arc-shaped light arrow, plowing the ground of the grassland, and blasting at the incoming murderous ant colony.

"Chichi!"

The killer ants seemed to have sensed the danger, and stopped charging in a hurry, but they were blasted straight by the incoming beam.

Li Ge saw with his own eyes that the large light beam released by Refia was circling in mid-air while continuously hitting the killer ants.

The killer ants that were hit were either evaporated in the overflowing light, or part of their body was cut off, and they couldn't hide even if they wanted to, and they would be overtaken by the arcing beam of light in no time.

Refiya's magic kept destroying monsters and reducing the number of enemies.

"Chichi!"

A few killer ants that were relatively close, as if they were put to death to survive, rushed towards Li Ge who was blocking the way, with ear-piercing screams.

With a flash in Li Ge's eyes, his figure finally moved, with an astonishing speed, advancing instead of retreating, before the killer ants pounced on them.

"Pfft!"

A silver light flashed, and the brisk rapier cut off the killer ant's head.

Looking carefully, the blade of the rapier didn't cut directly on the hard shell of the killer ant, but cut in from the weak part of the hard shell, and then chopped off the head of the killer ant.

"Chichi!"

Seeing this, the remaining two killer ants screamed angrily, raised their aggressive claws, and flicked Li Ge's sword away involuntarily.

When the main weapon was bounced off, Li Ge not only remained undisturbed, but also pulled out the dagger as a secondary weapon, and turned sideways to avoid the claw attack of a killer ant. The cold light pierced into the mouth of the killer ant.

".!"

The killer ant wanted to scream, but it was pierced by the dagger in the mouth, so it could only scream inaudibly.

Li Ge ignored the monster's wailing before death, twisted his hand holding the dagger, and the killer ant's head was mercilessly crushed by it, spattering a large amount of blood.

"Chi Chi Chi!"

The last surviving killer ant saw that the situation was not good, straightened its upper body, and let out a rhythmic call.

This is the stunt of the killer ants, calling for companions.

Unfortunately, there are no companions of killer ants nearby.

"Pfft!"

Li Ge cut cleanly, and the rapier cut off the upper body of the last killer ant, passing through the joints of its body, cutting the killer ant in two.

Only then did the grassland regain its calm.

"finished?"

Refia, who was at the back, put down the staff she had been holding nervously in her hand.

"It's over." Li Ge looked around, then nodded and said: "There should be no monsters in the vicinity."

"Great." Refiya patted her chest reassuringly, and put the bottle of elixir that she had been holding in her hand back into her backpack.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Seeing this scene, Li Ge said, "You have used magic quite a few times just now, can you still hold on with your mental strength?"

"It's okay." Refiya smiled reluctantly, and said, "The pressure on the upper floors is not too great, and I don't need to pour too much mental power into using magic, so I still have some mental power left."

In this world, the fuel of magic is not the magic power stored in the \u003cgate\u003e, but the spiritual power that has not been refined into magic power.

The use of magic consumes mental power, and the stronger the magic, the greater the consumption of mental power.

Therefore, in order to maintain sufficient mental power anytime and anywhere and ensure that she can use magic, Refia kept holding the magic elixir like that.

Once the mental power appears to be weak, Refiya will immediately take the magic elixir, and use the effect of the elixir to restore her mental power.

"Don't you have the development ability of "Jing Healing" that can automatically restore mental power? "

Rieger asked a question.

"No." Refiya shook her head quickly, and said, "That's not a developmental ability that can be easily obtained. I heard that you need to use magic frequently, which often consumes a lot of mental power. Among the people I know, only Livi Lady Lia has this ability, and I'm still far behind."

Refiya had a very low opinion of herself, even a little inferior, which made Li Ge frown indistinctly.

So, Li Ge said.

"From my point of view, your ability is very good." Li Ge said to Refia: "Like the magic just now, it seems to be just a magic chants. It shouldn't be very powerful, but after you use it , the magic that should have been "ray" as the name suggests has directly turned into a "beam", this kind of power is definitely rare in Lv.3, right?"

The magic that Refia used just now—[Arc Ray]—is one of the three magics she possesses, an arrow-shaped single-shot magic that emphasizes speed.

This magic is of short text chant type. Although it has the automatic tracking attribute that makes Li Ge look at it, it is an excellent magic that can definitely hit the enemy once it is successfully activated. But in terms of power alone, this magic should not be so good. powerful.

However, because of the strong "magic power" of Refia itself and the support of skills, the arrow-shaped single-attack magic that should have been weak has become the beam-shaped group attack magic just now.

Such ability, absolutely no Lv.3 can do it, only those veritable first-level mages can do it.

This allowed Li Ge to experience for himself what kind of firepower Lefiya's Lv.3 can rival Lv.5.

To put it bluntly, it is indeed an exaggeration.

the only problem is

"Your singing speed seems a bit slow, is it because of nervousness?"

Rieger pointed this out.

"Woo"

Refiya immediately lowered her head in shame.

"I probably understand why Loki said you need to exercise." Li Ge smiled and said: "Although your magic talent is excellent, but your temper is too weak, and your spirit and mentality are unstable. The magic that can only be cast smoothly by keeping a calm mind will do more harm than good."

Without a strong heart, how can you calmly chant magic spells and cast magic when the threat is approaching?

This is where Refiya's problem lies. She has excellent aptitude, but she is indeed somewhat immature as a mage.

"Yes, I'm sorry"

Refiya was a little frustrated, and her pair of pointed ears drooped down.

"Don't worry about it, it's fine to overcome your shortcomings, it's not a big problem." Li Ge comforted: "Well, let's stop here today, and think about how to solve your problems tomorrow. "

"Okay, okay." Refiya naturally had no objection and nodded repeatedly.

The two started to pack their things, picked up the magic stones and dropped props from the Killer Ant, and prepared to return.

It's getting late now, and it's probably already dark outside. The adventurers who explored in the dungeon have set off on their way back one after another, allowing Li Ge and Refiya to walk without having to deal with the monsters they might encounter on the road. On the passage where adventurers are obviously passing, go up unimpeded all the way.

In this way, the two quickly turned back to the seventh floor and set foot on the ground of the sixth floor.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Li Ge raised his head.

"ah!"

Refiya, who followed Li Ge step by step, bumped directly into his back and let out an exclamation.

Li Ge didn't care about it, he frowned and looked ahead.

For some reason, he felt something was wrong.

The airflow is not right.

The atmosphere is not right.

This is derived from the perception of [Wind Spirit Rush].

As an additional magic of the wind attribute, even if it is not in use, based on the particularity of this magic, the user's sensitivity to wind will increase relatively.

Li Ge discovered this after learning [Wind Spirit Sprint], and because of it, he noticed some abnormalities here.

"What, what's wrong?"

Refiya clutched her sore forehead, not knowing why.

But the moment the elf girl spoke, Li Ge's heart skipped a beat.

"Get down!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ge threw Lefiya who was screaming.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a black shadow passed over the heads of the two fallen people and hit the wall, causing a mighty roar.
