Chapter 684 [The Fierce]
"……Hello."
Just after Li Ge stopped, not long after, Bert, who had been bickering with Tiona, also stopped.
He straightened his nose, shook his ears, and then, as an orc with keen senses, conveyed a message to everyone present.
"A group of people ran over. They were in a panic and smelled of blood. There was probably something wrong."
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped.
"There are indeed people."
Aisi gently held the hilt of the sword tied around her waist and spoke like this.
The rest of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they all looked forward, looking at a fork in the road not far away.
On that fork in the road, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of panic-like footsteps.
After a while, a group of adventurers who looked panicked and were more or less injured rushed out of the fork in the road as if they were being chased by monsters.
"Stand there for me! Xiaoka!"
Bert took a step forward and blocked the way of this group of adventurers. Not only did he speak harshly, but his expression was also full of contempt and disdain.
"You, you are a [ferocious wolf]...!?"
The adventurers were blocked, and they were about to yell angrily, but they were suddenly shocked when they saw Bert's appearance clearly, and he actually showed an expression that didn't know whether to be scared or happy.
"[Sword Princess]!"
"[Brave]!"
"[Nine Demon Queens]!"
"[Big Cut] and [Angry Snake]...!"
"Even, even that new monster guy is here!"
"It's the Loki Familia!"
"The Loki Familia are here!"
When the other adventurers saw the heavily armed Lige and his party appearing here, they were first shocked on the spot, and then they all showed overjoyed expressions.
That look was like seeing a savior.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?"
Tiona didn't put on any airs and greeted the scarred adventurers as usual.
"What happened?"
Finn also stood up and intervened on his behalf.
The adventurers didn't hide anything, and told one thing with pale faces.
"There are, there are monsters from the middle class who came to the upper class!"
“And it’s a large species!”
"That monster is killing the junior adventurers on the upper level like crazy!"
"There are still people trying to fight that monster! Go and save him!"
The adventurers explained the situation one by one, making everyone's expressions change.
"No way?" Tione was shocked and murmured: "Did something abnormal really happen?"
The monsters on the middle floor ran to the upper floor and massacred the junior adventurers. This was undoubtedly an abnormal situation.
No one expected that the vanguard troops sent as a precaution would actually come in handy when the situation arose.
"Tsk! That's why I'm talking about you little guys..."
Bert cursed, not knowing whether he was unhappy with the pale and panic-stricken looks of the adventurers, or because he was anxious about the abnormal situation.
"Where is that monster now?"
Riveria asked directly.
"It's on the 9th floor!"
When the answer came from the adventurer's mouth, Finn immediately ordered.
"Li Ge, Ace, Bert."
The leader of the small human tribe named the three people with the fastest feet among everyone present.
"pound!"
Suddenly, Li Ge seemed to have been prepared. He took the lead in crushing the ground under his feet, raising a burst of sand, flying out with a shock wave, and disappeared in front of the fork in the road.
"…………!"
Aisi was the second to react and saw that Li Ge had already rushed out. She immediately turned into a gust of wind and sprinted forward at high speed.
"Tch, it's really going to cause trouble for people."
Bert still looked unhappy, but his movements were not slow at all. He caught up with Ais in a few sprints, and his speed was obviously higher than Ais.
The three first-level adventurers quickly disappeared, leaving Tiona and Tione unable to catch up even if they wanted to. One could only stomp on the spot, while the other held his arms with an unhappy look on his face.
"You should return to the ground now and report the abnormal situation to the guild."
Finn gave instructions to the adventurers, then raised his gun and greeted everyone.
"Let's go, let's follow."
Everyone nodded in unison and followed Finn, running quickly through the maze.
…………
"laugh……!"
It was a faint sound breaking through the air.
At this moment, Li Ge exerted his "agility" ability to the limit in the current state. He really set off a shock wave while charging forward. The speed was so fast that the entire passage of the maze was thrown into the air. The sand and dust filled it up, reducing visibility by several notches.
"Ji ah ah ah...!"
Along the way, the monsters that had been attracted by the mighty charge just raised their heads, with fierce gleams in their eyes, and then were blown away by the incoming shock wave, hitting the wall one by one like garbage. , it was smashed to pieces, with no bones left.
It was impossible for these weak monsters classified as Level 1 to block the shock wave, and Li Ge's figure was covered by the dust and airflow in the sky, completely disappearing.
The reason for such rapid advancement was not because Li Ge wanted to save people.
He knew that the adventurers who were fighting the large-scale monsters that broke into the upper level were in danger, but nothing would happen to them.
Because this is an arranged trial.
Because this was a planned attack.
Therefore, Li Ge charged like this not to disrupt this arrangement and this trial, but for the person who followed the witch's divine will, created this trial with his own hands, and guarded it.
Thinking of that person, the corners of Li Ge's mouth curled up slightly, and the fighting spirit in his heart rose slightly, causing his speed to increase a few points out of thin air.
With such speed, Li Ge quickly entered the 8th floor, and even quickly entered the 9th floor, reaching the floor where his destination was located.
There is an eerie silence here, and there is an unnatural atmosphere everywhere, as if the aboriginal people (monsters) who originally lived here are afraid of the violent incarnation that breaks into this place, and they all disappear in unison.
"Brother, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...!"
Until a certain moment, a roar came.
That was not the roar of a wild beast, nor the roar of a monster, but the roar of a fierce bull.
The roar was so deafening that the ceiling was covered with dust, telling others what kind of power the owner of the roar was.
That is definitely not something that a Level 1 monster can emit, and even a normal Level 2 monster cannot emit such a powerful roar.
The monster that appeared in front was so violent and violent, even compared with the crocodile dragon that Li Ge killed earlier, it was probably not far behind.
Encountering such a monster, a mere Level 1 junior adventurer has only two options.
Ichijo turned around and ran away, risking his life to escape.
One was shot dead on the spot, but his body was not intact.
Of course, it’s not like there aren’t people who rely on their own strengths to carve out a bloody path and find a third path.
In the past, this was the case for Rigo who challenged the Crocodile Dragon with a classification level of Level 2 as a Level 1 person.
Now, there is a man in front of him who is making the impossible possible, creating miracles, and taking heroic risks just like Li Ge.
Li Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly stopped.
"Help...help..."
In front of Li Ge, a young girl with severe bleeding on her forehead and serious injuries appeared as she ran towards her precariously.
The girl is a little human like Finn, petite in stature, with chestnut hair and eyes. She looks childish yet cute.
This little human girl ran over while shaking her body, as if she might lose consciousness at any time, half-opening her eyes with dilated pupils, and shouted to the surroundings.
"Who comes...who comes to save us...save Lord Bell...!"
The little human girl who begged like this quickly fell to the ground.
Li Ge stepped forward, squatted down in front of the opponent, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the opponent's body.
"Snapped!"
The other party seemed to feel Li Ge's presence, and her whole body trembled. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed Li Ge's hand that was pressing on her body.
"Please...save that adult...please..."
The girl was weeping and begging unconsciously, as if she had some obsession that she couldn't let go of, which was touching.
"Do not worry."
Seeing this, Li Ge looked at the girl intently for a while and said something.
"He'll be fine."
Hearing these words, the other party seemed to have completely relaxed the tight strings in his heart. The hand that was holding Li Ge with all his strength lost strength, and he also lost consciousness.
"[Slander Treatment]."
Li Ge immediately activated his healing magic, letting the dim light shine on the little human girl's body, treating the injury on her forehead.
After doing this, Li Ge put the little human girl aside and let her stay here against the wall.
"My companions are behind, and the monsters on this floor have all been frightened away by the uninvited guests, so you stay here and wait for someone to take you out."
As if he was speaking to the little human girl, Li Ge whispered this, then stood up again and rushed towards the front of the phosphorescent passage.
Li Ge, who looked through several passages and cave rooms in front of him, had already seen it in his eyes that were shining with transparent luster.
I saw the figure standing at the end of the road, as heavy and strong as a hill.
"Stop."
A voice that was not indifferent, but heavy as if he was releasing overwhelming pressure, sounded there and reached Li Ge's ears.
"Bang!"
Only then did Li Ge stop his steps as if a falling stream of light set off an explosion, blowing away all the sand, dust, gravel and turbulence, and appeared in front of the opponent.
"————"
The air suddenly became extremely depressing.
Li Ge and the person standing in front of the spacious cave passage, blocking his way, confronted each other.
The man was wearing heavy armor, but because his muscular body, which was more than two meters tall, was like a giant rock, with muscles bulging everywhere, it felt incredible that the heavy armor could actually be worn through the light armor.
His face is as solid as stone, his body is like steel, and his strong limbs made of thick muscles are as thick as blunt weapons, which is terrifying to look at.
He has short earth-red hair, earth-red eyes, and a pair of animal ears on his head.
Those are the ears of the Pig Man, who is famous for his bravery.
"...I see, it's you who's here?"
The pig adventurer stood upright in front of Li Ge, carrying a huge backpack on his left shoulder, completely blocking Li Ge's way.
"It doesn't matter, you and I will meet sooner or later. Maybe it's not too abrupt to meet here."
The strongest pig man, who was exuding a heavy sense of oppression, said this.
"Stop right here, Lige Brighaut."
Orario's only Level 7, is known as the city's ultimate weapon, the city's strongest, and the "top of the sky" above many first-level adventurers - Ota.
The head and leader of the Freya Familia appeared in front of Li Ge and made eye contact with Li Ge.
Seeing this, Li Ge suddenly smiled.
"You are indeed here, [Fierce One]."
Li Ge's words made Otta narrow his earth-red eyes.
"...It seems that you knew I was here from the beginning."
Ota spoke in a deep voice.
"Is it possible that you think you can hide it from everyone?" Li Ge said with a half-smile: "The leader of the hostile faction has been wandering around the middle level of the dungeon recently, playing with monsters. With this kind of news, do you think we Don’t you know?”
"...Same." Ota was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "It's impossible for you (Loki Familia) not to care about my whereabouts. This is something I take for granted."
"It's just that you still don't want to pass through here."
The pig adventurer's voice was not loud, but the unquestionable words in his words echoed around him like an unshakable one.
In this regard, Li Ge actually said this.
"It doesn't matter." Li Ge said very calmly: "Anyway, I'm not interested in Meishen's game, not to mention that the ending has been doomed for a long time, and it will be the same regardless of whether it goes through."
These words made Otta narrow his eyes again.
"Have you even figured out the divine will of our great goddesses?"
The pressure in Ota's voice became even stronger.
If it were another person, facing this pressure that could crush a giant rock, even the famous first-level adventurers in the city would shed sweat involuntarily.
Li Ge took it head-on and kept his expression as usual.
"Isn't it just that your goddess has used her "eyes" to see the soul of an unlucky guy? In order to make that person grow up, become stronger, and radiate more soul brilliance, she deliberately asked you to arrange it for him. Did you pass this trial? "
Li Ge said nonchalantly.
"For that person, she specially sent [White Demon Wand] and [Black Demon Sword] to train him, and then asked you to go to the middle level to pick a monster and bring it to the upper level to become his trial opponent."
"That's why you linger in the middle level, playing with monsters that are far weaker than you. That's why the two most ferocious magic swordsmen have been seen dragging a scarred man in recent times. Go to therapy, right.”
"It's really hard for you."
Li Ge spoke sarcastically.
"Doesn't it feel good to play house and drink with the wayward Lord God?"
Hearing this, Ota fell silent.
The next second, Ota grabbed the backpack on his shoulder, tore the cloth, and took out a handful of weapons.
"Uh-huh!"
Ota stabbed the weapons on the ground one by one and took one of them.
"Come and fight."
Horta declared.
"You are also the person that the goddess pays special attention to. Let me measure your measure."
Regarding these words, Li Ge's answer seemed to have been decided from the beginning.
"Just what I wanted."
Li Ge gently pulled out the crystal sword tied to his waist and pointed it diagonally at the ground.
"Speaking of which, I still have an account I haven't settled with you."
Rige was referring to the past incident in Orario where he was attacked by Freya's Familia and had a grudge against the [Goddess's Chariot].
"Let me recover some interest first."
The fighting spirit emanating from Li Ge, who had a transparent luster in his eyes, was as fierce as a storm.
"very good."
Feeling the fighting spirit, Ota was both surprised and ignited with fighting spirit.
At this point, a fierce battle between Orario's two strongest adventurers began.
