In this floor near the 10th floor, which has many caves and short roads, and a ceiling nearly ten meters high, phosphorescence like sunlight shines down 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. The small prairie is bathed in the phosphorescent light falling from the ceiling, giving people the feeling of walking in the wilderness rather than walking in the wilderness.
Illusions in the underground labyrinth.
From the perspective of terrain and environment, this place is different from the eight floors above. However, 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. Instead, the monsters that appeared on the previous floors have been strengthened, allowing monsters such as kobolds, goblins, war shadows, etc. to appear in stronger postures, blocking those who plan to go to the next floor.
Level 10 adventurer.
For example, at this moment, red monsters appeared in groups on the grassland, attacking the adventurers who broke into their territory.
It was an ant that was almost the same in appearance as an ant, except that its whole body was red in color and its size was much larger.
Killer Ants, which appear from the 7th floor, are one of the rookie killer monsters together with the War Shadows that appear from the 6th floor.
It has a strong hard shell and four well-developed claws. It is the best among the upper class in both attack and defense. When in crisis, it can also emit pheromones that ordinary people cannot detect to call its companions.
, is a tricky monster.
Its threat is even greater than that of the War Shadow, and ordinary adventurers would not dare to confront it head-on, let alone be besieged by hordes.
However, facing this army of killer ants that terrified lower-level adventurers, Li Ge fearlessly blocked their way.
Behind him, a voice as clear as a lark echoed.
"[The light arrow of liberation, the bow stem of the sacred tree, I am the master of the bow]."
This is a chant, a mantra that awakens magic.
"[Stop it, Fairy Archer]."
Lefiya closed her eyes and held up her staff. A thick golden magic circle appeared on the ground under her feet, slowly rotating.
"[Penetrate it, it's a sure target]."
On the staff raised by Lefia, a dazzling magic power gathered into light.
"[Arc Ray]."
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 grassland ground while blasting towards the incoming murderous ant colony.
"Jiji!"
The killer ants seemed to be aware of the danger and hurriedly stopped their charge, only to be hit by the incoming large beam of light.
Li Ge saw with his own eyes that the large beam of light released by Lefia was arcing in mid-air while continuously hitting the killer ants.
The hit killer ant will either evaporate in the overflowing light, or have part of its body cut off. Even if it wants to hide, it will be unable to hide and will be overtaken by the arcing beam of light.
Lefia's magic kept destroying monsters and reducing the number of enemies.
"Jiji!"
Several killer ants that were relatively close seemed to be fighting for their lives, and with piercing screams, they pounced on Li Ge who was blocking the way.
Li Ge's eyes flashed, and his body finally moved, bursting out with astonishing speed, advancing instead of retreating, and got in front of the killer ants before they pounced on them.
"Pfft!"
Silver light flashed, and the thin sword cut off the killer ant's head.
A closer look revealed that the blade of the rapier did not strike directly on the hard shell of the killer ant, but penetrated through the weak point of the hard shell, and then chopped off the killer ant's head.
"Jiji!"
"Jiji!"
Seeing this, the remaining two killer ants screamed angrily, raised their aggressive claws, and involuntarily flicked away Lige's sword.
The main weapon was bounced away. Not only did Lige remain undisturbed, he also pulled out the dagger as a secondary weapon. He turned sideways to avoid the claw attack of a killer ant, and the dagger in his hand flew across it quickly, with a cold and cold sound.
The cold light penetrated the mouth of the killer ant.
"!"
The killer ant wanted to scream, but was stabbed in the mouth with a dagger and could only scream inaudibly.
Li Ge ignored the monster's death cry and twisted the hand holding the dagger. The killer ant's head was ruthlessly crushed by it, splattering large amounts of blood.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the last surviving killer ant straightened up its upper body and let out a rhythmic cry.
This is the killer ant's unique skill, calling for its companions.
Unfortunately, there are no killer ant companions nearby.
"Pfft!"
Li Ge cut off the upper body of the last killer ant with a sharp sword. He slashed through the joints of the body and cut the killer ant in two.
The grassland then returned to calm.
"finished?"
Lefiya, 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 nearby."
"Great." Lefia patted her chest reassuringly and put the bottle of elixir she had just held in her hand back into her backpack.
"How's it going? Is it okay?" Li Ge saw this scene and said, "You have just used magic many times, can you still hold on mentally?"
"It's okay." Lefia showed a somewhat forced smile and said, "There's not much pressure from the upper levels, and I don't have 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 (gate), but the spiritual power that has not yet been refined into magic power.
Using magic consumes mental power. The stronger the magic, the greater the consumption of mental power.
Therefore, in order to maintain sufficient mental strength anytime and anywhere and ensure that she can use magic, Lefia always holds the magic elixir like that.
Once her mental strength becomes weak, Lefiya will immediately take magic elixir and use the effect of the elixir to restore her mental strength.
"Don't you have the development ability of "Jing Heal" that can automatically restore your mental power?"
Li Ge asked.
"No." Lefia shook her head quickly and said: "That is not a development ability that can be easily obtained. I heard that it requires frequent use of magic, which often consumes mental power to a great extent. Among the people I know, only Levi
Lady Leah has this ability, but I am still far behind."
Lefiya had a very low opinion of herself, and even felt a little inferior, which made Lige frown invisibly.
So, Li Ge said.
"In my opinion, your ability is very good." Li Ge said to Lefia: "Like the magic just now, it seems to be just a short chant of magic. It should not be very powerful, but after you use it,
, the magic that should have been a "ray" as the name suggests has been directly turned into a "beam". This kind of power is definitely rare in 3, right?"
The magic Lefiya just used - [Arc Ray] - is one of the three magics she possesses, an arrow-shaped single-shot magic that emphasizes speed.
This magic is a short chant type. Although it has the automatic tracking attribute that makes Li Ge stand out. It is an excellent magic that can definitely hit the enemy once it is successfully activated. However, in terms of power alone, this magic should not be so powerful.
powerful.
However, due to Lefia's powerful "magic power" and the support of her skills, the arrow-shaped single attack magic that should have been weak became the beam-shaped group attack magic just like that.
With such ability, absolutely no 3 can do it, only those first-level magicians who are worthy of the name can do it.
This allowed Rige to experience firsthand what kind of firepower Lefiya's 3 can rival 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?"
Rigg pointed this out.
"Woo"
Lefia immediately lowered her head in shame.
"I probably understand why Loki said you need to exercise." Li Ge smiled and said: "Although your magic ability is excellent, your temper is too weak, and your spirit and mentality are unstable. This pair needs to be trained all the time.
Only by keeping a calm mind can you cast magic smoothly, which is harmful rather than helpful."
Without a strong heart, how can one calmly chant magic incantations and cast magic when threats are approaching?
This is where Lefia's problem lies. She has excellent qualifications, but as a mage, she is somewhat immature.
"Yes, sorry"
Lefia was a little frustrated, and her pointed ears drooped.
"Don't worry about it. Just overcome your shortcomings. It's not a big problem." Li Ge comforted him: "Let's just stop here today and think about how to solve your problem tomorrow.
"
"Okay, okay." Lefia naturally had no objection and nodded repeatedly.
The two began to pack their things, picked up the magic stones and dropped props from the killer ants, and prepared to return.
It's already getting late now, and it's probably already dark outside. The adventurers who were exploring the dungeons have all set out on their way back, allowing Rige and Lefia to walk without having to deal with the monsters they may encounter on the way.
On the passage where adventurers have obviously passed, go up unobstructed.
In this way, the two quickly returned to the 7th floor and stepped onto the ground on the 6th floor.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Ge raised his head.
"ah!"
Lefiya, who was following Li Ge, bumped directly into his back and let out a cry of surprise.
Li Ge ignored this and frowned, looking ahead.
For some reason, he felt something was wrong.
The airflow is wrong.
The atmosphere is not right.
This is derived from the perception of [Wind Spirit Rush].
As an additional magic with the wind attribute, even if it is not used, the user's sensitivity to wind will increase relatively due to the particularity of this magic.
Li Ge discovered this after he learned [Wind Spirit Swiftness], and he noticed some abnormalities here because of it.
"What, what's wrong?"
Lefiya covered her painful forehead, not knowing why.
But the moment the elf girl spoke out, Li Ge's heart suddenly jumped.
"Get down!"
Without any hesitation, Li Ge threw down Lefia who screamed in surprise.
"Bang!"
At the same time, a black shadow passed over the heads of the two fallen people and hit the wall, causing a heroic roar.
