Chapter 238 The Girls' Battle
While Roy was dealing with the affairs of the Soma Familia, Ryu was exploring the dungeon with Tione and Tiona, teaching them all sorts of knowledge.
The three arrived at Babel Tower Square.
Despite being of different races, they are all powerful and beautiful girls, each with their own unique characteristics, and they attract a lot of attention.
Ryu wore a thin white top made of Goliath fabric and green shorts, with black stockings covering her long legs. She wore Justice Boots made for her by Roy and a green cloak that concealed her beautiful figure.
With delicate features, her long golden hair was tied into a single ponytail, giving her a dashing and heroic air. Her thin lips were pursed, and her pretty face was as calm as still water, as if nothing could arouse her emotions.
Compared to the conservative Ryu, the two Amazon sisters wore very little clothing. Their healthy, wheat-colored skin was taut and elastic, giving them a sense of power, like lionesses on the savanna, full of wildness.
Tione glared at the surrounding adventurers, her eyes wide with fury. "Only the guild leader is allowed to see my body. Be careful, or I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Everyone thought to themselves, "If you don't want us to see, then don't dress so scantily, like the elf girl next to you."
But this is also one of the Amazons' unrestrained habits; if they were to be wrapped up tightly in clothing, they would rather be dead.
Despite their complaints, the adventurers quickly looked away, inwardly thinking, "We can't afford to mess with them."
The news that the two sisters had reached LV.4 had not yet been announced, but even so, few people were willing to provoke a top-tier LV.3 powerhouse.
An adventurer of this caliber is good enough to become the leader of a mid-tier familia.
Tiona wore an innocent and carefree smile on her small face, as if nothing could affect her mood, the complete opposite of the ice queen Ryu.
Ryu was also observing the two of them silently. The two had just joined the Familia and then ran off to the Kingdom of Lachia with Roy, so Ryu didn't have much contact with them.
Very unique!
Ryu began to worry about whether the trip would go smoothly.
To her surprise, influenced by Roy, the two of them were even more sharp than before, but they also had a touch of peace and wisdom.
The three entered the underground city.
Ryu is a typical example of someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Since she is going to teach the two of them, she will do her best, starting from the first floor, explaining the characteristics of the dungeon, the attack methods of the monsters, and the techniques for defeating them.
For any novice adventurer, Ryu is undoubtedly the best mentor, imparting to them all the knowledge that is practically an encyclopedia of dungeons.
Tiony and Tiona memorized that knowledge and absorbed it like sponges to grow.
One LV.5 and two LV.4 high-level adventurers advanced rapidly. The monsters in the upper and middle levels could not stop them at all. Monsters such as hellhounds and minotaurs were basically killed in one move.
The eighteenth floor of the underground city.
Tiony and Tiona gazed excitedly at the breathtaking scenery: countless crystals covered the ceiling, their glow forming a sky, and crystals encircling the steep rock walls of the entire floor, dazzling and radiant.
The two had heard of the beautiful view from that floor before, and seeing it today left them deeply impressed.
"Hold on."
Liu said softly, and walked into the forest alone.
Tiony and Tiona exchanged a glance and chose to follow behind Ryu. The three of them followed the path through the forest, and a small, mound-shaped cemetery came into view, filled with all sorts of weapons and staves.
Ryu places the fresh flowers she picked at her teammates' graves, and she comes here every now and then.
Having been in Orario for so long, even though Tione and Tiona didn't know the whole story, they knew from snippets of conversation that the Astrea Familia had suffered the past, and that this was the graveyard of its former members.
"Ryu, I'll take care of all those guys for you!" Tiona raised her large twin blades.
Tiony was also eager to get started.
"Thank you, Roy and I have already taken care of those people." A smile flashed across Ryu's face. They were truly a group of excellent new members of the Familia. She believed that Alisha and the others would be very pleased to see this.
"As expected of the captain!" Tione exclaimed.
After offering flowers to the former members of their clan, the three entered the nineteenth floor to continue exploring the dungeon.
Even when they reached the very bottom of the middle realm, the monsters could hardly stop the trio. They fought their way through the monsters and arrived at the Water Maze.
The rushing river is as deep as ink, with rolling waves and splashing spray, galloping like a wild horse, displaying boundless power and speed.
Its spectacular view is breathtaking, no less so than the crystal ceiling on the eighteenth floor.
"Ryu, the backpack is almost full, what should we do?" Tiona said. She was the support member of the team and was carrying a huge backpack.
"Since the floor master, Amphispina, hasn't regenerated yet, the Water Mystery doesn't pose much of a danger to us. We'll return after exploring to the 27th floor," Liu said thoughtfully.
Only at this moment did Ryu feel a little envious of Roy's mysterious ability to store supplies. Their physical strength and spirit were in good condition, but due to a lack of supplies or backpacks full of magic stone fragments and materials, they had to end their exploration and return to the surface.
This is also one of the most challenging things adventurers face when exploring the lower and even deeper levels.
Roy is the only exception.
"good!"
The three entered the twenty-seventh floor.
As soon as they stepped inside, a large number of monsters appeared and surrounded them.
"The Feast of Monsters".
Liu's expression darkened slightly. The dungeon was indeed difficult to deal with. Even without a floor master, there were countless unexpected situations that could catch people off guard.
They were surrounded mainly by two types of monsters.
The Water Beast Horse, officially named "Kelpie," is a horse-like monster with azure fur and mane that can run through water and on land as if it were flat ground.
"Wodimai Fish" is a fish monster made entirely of stone, blackish-purple in color, ranging in length from one to two meters. It has no normal eyes, only a single, constantly rotating eye on its forehead.
Its entire body is made of stone, giving it exceptional durability and astonishing strength. Its sharp fangs can easily crush an adventurer's heavy armor.
Unlike other aquatic monsters, its most distinctive feature is its ability to float in the air.
Adventurers call them "living fossils".
Both are rare species that appear on the twenty-seventh floor, and their potential abilities are at the top level of the "Water City", second only to the floor master, Amphispina.
Suddenly encountering so many rare species, Tione and Tiona were caught off guard and began to feel a deep sense of pressure. These monsters were much stronger than those on the surface, and they had more experience fighting humans.
On the other hand, let's look at the other side.
While killing the monsters that attacked her, Ryu explained the characteristics of the two types of monsters to Tione and Tiona with ease.
There is a qualitative change between LV.5 and LV.4.
During this time, Ryu fully mastered the power of LV.5, and even went a step further, with all her abilities averaging at G level. She felt that even ten of her former LV.4 selves would be no match for her now.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Liu's figure flashed past like a golden lightning bolt, quickly swinging her sword. The sword shadow was sharp, and the monsters that passed through it all exploded and turned into ashes, with countless fragments of magic stones falling down.
The Elf Radiance Dragon Staff is a weapon tailor-made for her; its powerful level and perfect suitability perfectly showcase her strength.
Having absorbed a large amount of experience points, Liu's Boots of Justice have unknowingly reached the advanced level and are rapidly advancing towards the epic level.
"
A ray of light!
With a sharp rebuke, Liu raised the Elven Radiance Dragon Staff, pointed it at the surrounding monsters, and unleashed a spell. With the staff's attribute bonus, nearly a thousand emerald green orbs appeared, illuminating the entire dark cave.
The orbs of light fell like a storm.
Amidst the blazing fire and deafening explosions, most of the monsters were wiped out.
"This is LV.5? No, it's 'Swift Wind' Ryu Leon!" Tione was stunned. Ryu's crisp and clean skills and movements were beyond anyone's reach.
There are also techniques for parallel chanting.
Tione also possessed magic, and when she saw Ryu weaving through countless monsters, attacking, dodging, and chanting spells at the same time, she was as if she had seen a ghost.
She could never do something like that in her entire life!
"Light Wind" pierced through the monster feast, and the three hurriedly ran to the upper passage to avoid being surrounded by monsters again. The monsters in the dungeon were endless, and even the most powerful adventurers would eventually be worn down.
After leaving the Water City, the pressure decreased significantly.
Fighting together is the best way to foster friendship. By entrusting each other with their backs, they build an unspoken understanding and become friends who can talk about anything.
As they left, Tione inquired curiously, "Ryu, I heard you've spent the most time with the captain. Do you know what kind of woman he likes?"
Tiona was also eavesdropping.
Ryu asked in surprise, "Didn't he tell you?"
"He said he likes pretty, despicable, womanizing radishes!" Tiony curled her lip.
Ryu recalled briefly, "Roy seems to like elves with long hair and pointed ears—"
The atmosphere around them suddenly became quiet.
Tione and Tiona looked at Ryu with strange expressions. "You might as well just show me your ID!"
Liu seemed to realize something as well, her little face turning slightly red. Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The three returned to the surface and went to the guild headquarters to exchange the magic stone fragments for money, while leaving the monster materials behind before returning to the Star Garden.
During dinner.
Lily, slightly nervous, greeted everyone, "Esteemed seniors, I'm a newcomer to the Familia, Lily Luca Erd. Please take good care of me!"
"They're little people, so cute."
Tiona smiled happily and picked up Lily, who looked like a delicate doll. The latter, with her LV.1 strength, was completely unable to resist.
Tione smiled and said, "Little Lily, never even think of attacking the captain!"
Liu pursed her lips and said softly, "Welcome."
People welcomed the newlyweds in different ways.
Lily trembled, but she could sense that no one meant her any harm. Unlike the Soma Familia, the Astrea Familia was filled with the warmth of family.
Amid the lively atmosphere, Lily couldn't help but show a genuine smile she had never seen before.
