Chapter 168 A Mother's Strength
The goddess Astraea supported Roy as they headed towards the upper floor.
Roy had only been to the 25th floor before, but thanks to Ryu's extensive knowledge, Roy was quite familiar with the lower floors (25 to 36), so he immediately recognized that they were in the 30th floor, the dense forest canyon.
Whether Roy can survive now depends on how well he grasps those theoretical concepts.
Roy forced himself to stay alert, his gaze quickly sweeping across the dense forest environment of the thirtieth floor.
First, they need to determine their location. According to Ryu, there is a certain plant in the forest that blooms facing south.
But they cannot go south.
The purpose of that flower is to trick people into suffering; the south side is where the stairwell to the thirty-first floor is located.
The north side is the stairwell back to the twenty-ninth floor; they must walk in the opposite direction of where the flowers bloom.
The goddess Astrea has no knowledge of dungeon exploration, so we can only rely on him.
Fortunately, that plant wasn't too hard to find.
Roy quickly found the right direction, but what followed was a dense swarm of monsters.
"roar!"
The dungeon monsters surged forth like a tidal wave, unleashing deafening roars that shook the very earth.
It's no different from the monster's feast.
In the blink of an eye, countless monsters surrounded Roy and Astraea, leaving them no way to escape.
Roy's expression darkened slightly, but he wasn't surprised. He already knew the nature of the dungeon—it bullied the weak and feared the strong. If he were at his peak, he could wipe out all these monsters in no time.
In theory, with his extremely high ability value of breaking through the limit at LV.3, as long as he doesn't enter the deep realm and doesn't encounter any special rare monsters in the lower levels, there shouldn't be too much risk.
Before descending, he first fought with the fairy soldiers, then was tormented by Lymton's wolves underground. While rescuing the goddess Astrea, he activated the special effects of the elven holy sword countless times in order to kill the approaching monsters, almost exhausting his mental energy.
He has been weakened to the extreme.
We finally encountered a heavily injured LV.3 adventurer, plus a god. If the dungeon didn't cause trouble, it wouldn't be a dungeon.
A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs!
Roy cursed under his breath, "I'll beat you to a pulp sooner or later!"
The goddess Astraea also saw the monsters and whispered, "Roy, give me a sword!"
Upon hearing this, Roy glanced at Astraea, the goddess, from afar. Was the head coach warming up?
Despite his complaints, Roy lightly touched his spatial ring with his right hand, and a three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand. It was a high-quality sword from his usual inventory, which he had acquired from the Gubernian Familia and was worth three million Fali.
Roy pinched the sword between two fingers, pointed the hilt at the goddess Astraea, and handed it to her.
The goddess Astraea gripped the longsword, checking if it was comfortable to hold. It was noticeably heavy for someone of her ordinary strength, but not unusable.
hiss!
Astraea first used her longsword to cut open her long dress, separating her legs and below. She didn't hesitate to tear the million-dollar dress to shreds, just to make it easier for her to move around.
The dress was torn, revealing snow-white skin and long legs that looked like a work of art sculpted by heaven, much to Roy's delight.
Her mature figure is full and curvaceous, with exquisite curves. After tying her hair up in a high ponytail, she loses some of her noble and elegant air, but gains a touch of heroic and dashing charm. Anyone who sees her will feel a flutter in their heart.
If it weren't for those hateful monsters, Roy could watch for hours without his eyes getting tired.
"Move in the opposite direction of where those flowers are blooming!" Roy composed himself and stood back-to-back with the goddess Astraea to prevent being attacked from behind by the monster.
A massive horde of monsters charged toward the two of them.
Burn the heavens!
Roy didn't hold back, pulling out his elven holy sword and unleashing a barrage of attacks. The magic energy within a one-kilometer radius was drained, surging wildly into the longsword.
A raging torrent of flames erupted.
Like a blazing dragon, with a single sweep of its tail, it wiped out hundreds of monsters. The terrifying heat was so intense that even the magic stones could not withstand it, burning them to ashes and leaving nothing behind.
Having created an opening in the monster army, Roy and Astrea seized the opportunity and slipped out.
Those who escaped the raging flames were eliminated by the goddess Astrea.
The gentle light from the underground city's stone walls illuminated her upright figure, making her appear aloof and solitary.
!!!
Astraea's figure spun lightly, dancing like a butterfly, a breathtaking sight. The sharp, cold light of her sword reaped the surrounding monsters, and seven or eight of them died in an instant.
The wind from the sword blew, lifting a few stray strands of hair from her temples, making her look as beautiful as a painting, aloof and independent.
The deadly sword dance just now seemed like a fleeting phantom under the brilliance. Only the lingering bloody scent in the wind and the bright red bloodstains on the blade were the only traces left by the killing.
Roy's lips twitched as he watched.
Goddess Astraea, in terms of swordsmanship alone, is comparable to a LV.5 adventurer.
Of course, this is just a skill honed to its extreme.
Her physical abilities are at an average level, but she's a top-tier operator, capable of dealing maximum damage with minimal stats.
The goddess Astraea's deep blue eyes, like a frozen pool, stared at the approaching monster. Though far slower and weaker than the monster, she could guide its movements, dodging its attacks in every perilous moment.
Using the sharpness of her longsword, and following Roy's instructions, she killed the monster with a single blow, piercing its core—the location of the magic stone. She then slaughtered all the surrounding level 3 monsters, scattering magic stone fragments all over the ground.
She is not a powerless deity!
Women are gentle, but mothers are strong! Gods are the same; now it is her time to protect Roy.
While Roy and the goddess Astrea were focused on dealing with the monster, they didn't realize that several eyes were watching them from deep within the jungle.
There are several special monsters.
He lay hidden in the bushes, secretly observing the fight between the two, a human-like expression appearing on his face.
"There are humans here, how tragic."
"What a pity, they're doomed."
These heretics came over to see what was happening after hearing the ceiling collapse. When they saw Roy covered in blood and surrounded by hundreds of monsters, they, being intelligent beings, expressed some sentiments.
And they are unlikely to help each other.
Humans are not friends to them, but rather enemies. Many of their fellow humans were captured by despicable adventurers, which has led them to harbor hatred towards humans as well.
However, the heretics were shaken when they saw Roy use lightning magic to defeat the monster that was trying to ambush the goddess Astrea.
"Thunder magic without incantation, could it be?"
The heretics looked at each other, noticing the surprise in each other's eyes. What a coincidence!
"Could it be that human Mary was talking about?"
