The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 179 Duel! The Might of the Sky Dragon
Liang Yue had no idea what kind of enemies were on the lowest level of the dungeon.

However, he knew that even Zeus's retinue, the godfather of Bell, did not reach the lowest level during their expedition.

Despite having multiple Lv8 and Lv7 level familia adventurers, they have only reached the seventy-first floor.

In the end, they were defeated by the final black dragon, the one-eyed dragon, and their entire army was wiped out.

Therefore, in order to clear the dungeon, he must go to the Black Dragon and the deepest part of the dungeon.

Orali Central Plaza

For this dungeon expedition, Liang Yue instructed everyone to first arrive at the central square, as it was very close to the Tower of Babel, the entrance to the dungeon, and the guild.

It's even very close to one of the hidden entrances to the man-made maze.

An expedition from the entrance of the man-made maze will take you directly to the eighteenth level of the dungeon.

Liang Yue naturally liked this efficiency very much. He had already put on light armor as an inner layer, paired with the composite armor of heavy armor on his body—Dragon Spine.

Then he draped a low-key black cloak over himself, covering most of his armor.

When the agreed meeting time arrived, Winnie and the others were fully armed and had all their supplies ready.

Liang Yue looked around at his team, which now numbered an astonishing eight people, including himself.

Just a few months ago, Hestia was still worrying about her first member of her Familia and was living in dilapidated ruins.

Asterios approached from afar, saying, "Lord Liang Yue, I wish to have a duel with you!"

Upon seeing Asterios take the two battle axes from his back, the adventurers near the central square immediately retreated.

And after clearing what they thought was a suitable safe zone, they involuntarily surrounded Liang Yue, Asterios, and the others in the hollow area.

The hollow area is approximately 100 meters in diameter.

The adventurers who had originally planned to embark on a long expedition all instinctively gathered around.

Watching a spectacle seems to be human nature...

"what happened?"

Are they going to have a friendly sparring match here?

"Isn't that Captain Liang Yue? I remember he was a powerful figure who was all the rage in Orario. And this monster, I remember he was an employee of the Hestia Familia?"

Driven by a desire to stir up trouble, more and more adventurers gathered around.

Apart from Winnie, the other members of the heretics are all employees of Liang Yue and Hestia.

So as long as you finish your work, you can arrange your other time freely. You can even take ten days or half a month off without any problem.

Currently, all the heretics are responsible for tasks such as the renovation and maintenance of Daedalus Street.

In your spare time, you can also do part-time jobs such as security guard or waiter at the biggest casino.

Hermes had met these heretics in private, and the god told them that the conflict between humans and monsters had been accumulating for centuries.

This kind of conflict cannot be resolved simply by a few Duel King matches.

Asterios was unsure of Hermes's true intentions in telling them all this, but he wanted to know more about Liang Yue.

As the leader and de facto leader of the Hestia Familia, Asterios wanted to have a fair duel with Liang Yue.

Every time he dreams, he vaguely sees himself being killed.

He was killed by Liang Yue and other adventurers.

Perhaps it was just a dream, but Asterios wished his leader to be the supreme ruler.

Only in this way can we protect all heretics.

Even if he dies a miserable death in this duel.

Liang Yue looked at Asterios. Everyone was preparing for the expedition, so why did this black bull suddenly have a brain fart?
I really don't understand.

Moreover, looking at the onlookers around her, Liang Yue looked helpless.

How did it suddenly become like this?
"You may use any means necessary; please fight me with all your might."

Asterios bowed to Liang Yue, then picked up a two-handed battle axe in each hand.

"We're about to embark on an expedition, does it have to be at this moment?"

"Yes, it has to be now, in this context."

Liang Yue sighed, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Since it's a duel..."

You're okay with me using any means necessary, right?

"That's right! Even I have prepared a sharp giant axe, or even a high-strength battle axe-shaped magic sword, and I am also equipped with highly defensive armor."

A duel, naturally, is a fierce battle in which both sides use every means at their disposal to determine a victor!

"Then, the duel begins!"

Liang Yue sighed, "I never expected my first duel would be with you!"

Then his armor suddenly moved, like an exoskeleton, and a bone-like mechanical arm popped out, attaching the duel disk on his back to his left arm.

Asterios raised his demonic sword high in his right hand, and a stunning flash of lightning shot into the sky.

The surrounding adventurers gasped in surprise.

"They're really going to start fighting! I recognize this black Minotaur; rookie Bell and Liang Yue have both used this card."

It's a six-star card! Does that mean its strength is comparable to a level 6 adventurer? I remember Liang Yue is still level 4, right?
How am I supposed to fight this?!

The surrounding adventurers watched with concern for Liang Yue.

As an adventurer, unless the other party calls for help or is on the verge of death, participating in the battle is suspected of stealing the prey and spoils.

A dazzling ball of lightning rapidly approached from a distance, but the next moment two enormous purple cylinders instantly appeared in front of Liang Yue.

The dazzling ball of lightning instantly fell into the interior of one of the balls and flew out from another purple cylinder.

The lightning bolt returned along its original path and landed directly on Asterios.

A dazzling flash of lightning charred the entire body of the black Minotaur.

"boom!"

Asterios was hit by the attack and flew out violently.

"Magic Cylinder, Type: Trap Card"
Effect: When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can target 1 attacking monster. Negate that attacking monster's attack and inflict damage to your opponent equal to its attack power.

Seeing that the other party still had the intention of getting up, Liang Yue took out the card again.

At this moment, he noticed a countdown circle appearing on the edge of his duel disk. According to the passage of time, the circle would disappear completely in thirty seconds.

"So, in actual combat, one round is thirty seconds? What if we forcibly change that?"

With this in mind, Liang Yue forcibly drew a card this round, bringing her hand to five.

Then he realized that one-eighth of his strength had been drained immediately. "So that's how it's played?"

"Normal Summon Dungeon Rabbit from your hand and activate its special effect to Special Summon two Dungeon Rabbits from your Deck!"

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, you typically only have one Normal Summon and one Tribute Summon per turn. With four cards in your hand, you can "Tribute three Magic Rabbits to Summon Osiris the Sky Dragon from your hand!"

The hand now has three cards!

He raised the Sky Dragon high, the card flashing with dazzling light, and placed it in the monster card area of ​​the Duel Disk.

At this point, the description of Sky Dragon's effect changed, reverting to its appearance from the first part of the original work.

In other words, the effects shown on the card do not encompass all of its capabilities.

The sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, and then, like a bolt from the blue, a dazzling white beam of light struck in front of Liang Yue.

A sky dragon, obscuring the sky, descended upon the central square.

After Liang Yue summoned the Sky Dragon, she did not feel any loss of stamina.

However, with the appearance of the Sky Dragon, he found that his stamina was being rapidly depleted.

He had a premonition that if he waited until the end of this round, his hand would grow again.

As the Sky Dragon's attack power increases, the stamina it consumes will reach an extremely exaggerated level.

"Summon thunder bullets!"

Blue and white light and lightning spewed from the mouth above the sky dragon, and the dazzling attack enveloped the entire black Minotaur.

The black Minotaur, which had barely managed to get up, was now completely powerless and extremely weak.

The onlookers were all shocked as they stared at Liang Yue.

"What's going on? Duel cards can actually be used in real battles? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

"That card was so cool! I really want to have that card too!"

The bony mechanical arm on Liang Yue's back detached the Duel Disk and placed it on her back. At that moment, the enormous Sky Dragon's form became transparent and vanished…

Then he went to the black Minotaur and pulled it up from the cold floor.

"If I use all my methods, you can't defeat me. If I weren't on an expedition, I would have time to have a proper spar with you."

"Your expertise is truly impressive. Thank you for your guidance."

The black Minotaur realized the vast gap between itself and Liang Yue; it needed more experience and more battles.

It can only continue to grow by growing through countless fierce battles.

The black Minotaur bowed reluctantly to Liang Yue, "This time it's two losses and zero wins, Lady Liang Yue."

I will challenge you to another duel next time, so please don't slack off.

"A double loss? When have I ever defeated you?"

Liang Yue was somewhat puzzled.

“You have killed many Minotaur, and I was one of them. Let’s just say it was a draw, and we won’t count the other battles where I died in a single encounter.”

The black Minotaur moved away from its spot, its expression visibly relaxed.

Liang Yue nodded and led her clan members into action.

At this moment, Bell had already run over quickly. "Mr. Liang Yue, can Duel Cards also be used in actual combat?"

"It requires specially made duel cards, like the set I have here. You want it? But I don't sell my cards."

If you want to win, use Duel Cards to defeat me. That way, whether it's the Trap Cards I just used, the Familia Cards, or even the God Cards of that Sky Dragon.

"If you can beat me just once, you can ask me for one!"

Liang Yue looked at the adventurers around her.

"You also have this opportunity, but if you want to challenge me, you at least have to achieve a certain ranking in the Duel King competition, right? Like the top eight, or the champion, runner-up, or third place."

The adventurers around were excited by the God Card that Liang Yue had displayed.

An unprecedented combat system, featuring powerful and mysterious cards.

All of these changes were brought about by Liang Yue to Orario.

Liang Yue used a healing potion on the black Minotaur to restore its mobility.

Afterwards, the group left the central square and arrived at the entrance to the hidden artificial maze that Liang Yue had bought for a large sum of money.

Liang Yue has now taken control of all four entrances to Daedalus Street, as well as two other entrances in other locations.

As long as they throw money at it, these entrances and exits will be theirs.

Following the passage, Liang Yue and her group arrived directly at the eighteenth floor of the underground city in one go.

Winnie was tiny, but at that moment, two dragon wings suddenly spread out from under her cloak.

"Liang Yue, Liang Yue, shall I fly up to the sky now?"

Liang Yue rubbed the other person's head, "We're on the eighteenth floor now, there's no need for that yet. We'll fly when the ground visibility is insufficient and there's enough space."

Winnie nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Her starting attributes are equivalent to a level 3 adventurer, and the reason for bringing her on this expedition is to allow Winnie to also level up.

As for this expedition, Liang Yue hopes that the Sword Soul template can be upgraded to level 55.

Basically, there will be a stage of improvement every five levels, so it would be best if you could reach level 55 during this training.

The current expedition team is already quite large, and with good teamwork, the danger shouldn't be too outrageous.

After a short rest, Liang Yue and the others went directly to the nineteenth floor and resumed their battle.

Winnie, Ryu, and Ais took their positions according to Daphne's instructions.

Liang Yue continued fighting as before, with the surrounding walls glowing.

While Winnie was getting nervous, Liang Yue had already summoned the Selfless Sword Domain and taken out two weapons.

Sword energy bursts forth from Liang Yue's sword and saber, slaying the monsters in the distance one by one.

Winnie watched Liang Yue's retreating figure, her face filled with admiration.

"Liang Yue is amazing. I really want to be able to help him as soon as possible."

Liu leaned closer and said, "If you want to help Liang Yue, you need to improve your own strength as soon as possible."

Swordsmanship, various experiences, and temperament—all aspects must be learned and improved through various means.

Ryu maintained her usual attire: a green cloak, two blades, and a wooden sword.

Ais's gaze remained fixed on Liang Yue's figure. The person in front of her had entered the realm of the Selfless Sword Technique, but compared to Liang Yue's swordsmanship, there was still a world of difference.

Simply being able to unleash the Selfless Sword Qi, which possesses a certain degree of destructive power, is far from enough!
The battle ended, and materials were scattered all over the ground once again.

Just as Winnie was about to go and pick up the fallen items, Lily rushed out immediately.

"Don't try to take Lily's job! These dropped items are fine for Lily to keep safe for now!"

As Lily witnessed Liang Yue's growing strength, her sense of crisis intensified.

She also needs to level up her adventurer rank as soon as possible; she absolutely doesn't want to be the one holding the team back!
