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

Chapter 191 A Madman, He Actually Used the Arena for Training

As Liang Yue ended her sleep and began to be on alert of her surroundings, Liu also drifted off to sleep.

With only two people, the battle on the 37th floor was mentally exhausting for Ryu.

With steady breathing, Ryu fell asleep in a minute, dreaming of her past.

A massive explosion rang out in a forest somewhere in the underground city.

The intense flames were scorching everything around them, and the terrain was also altered due to the violent explosion.

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, the trees around Ryu and the others had withered, and a huge crater had appeared in the ground.

One by one, the members of Ryu's clan emerged from the ruins and the pits in the giant tree.

Although it was a mess, it was clear that no one present had died as a result.

They carefully observed their surroundings. Due to the violent explosion, these members of the clan were mostly trapped inside a crater several meters deep, confronting the enemy outside.

The enemy is a member of the Dark Familia.

One of the women, dressed in a kimono, squinted and looked rather unwell.

"So it really was a trap? They actually tried to bury us alive with an explosion!"

The members of Anluo's dark clan were also somewhat surprised. Despite using so many explosives, the enemy had all survived.

Anlu knew that this time the odds were against them, as they, as members of the Dark Clan, were no match for Ryu and her companions.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of using bombs to kill them.

An oppressive scream came from the ceiling of the floor, followed by cracks in the ceiling and a large amount of water cascading down the floor.

Then, like a demon hatched from a cradle of demons, the hideous Zagnath emerged from a crack in the ceiling.

Then it crashed to the ground and began attacking Ryu's team members at an unimaginable supersonic speed.

Ryu's teammates were basically killed easily by the enemy before they could even react.

Zagnath has sharp claws, teeth, a tail, and a tough body...

This was especially true for Ryu and her friends, as it was the first time they had encountered such a unique monster with such an exaggerated and dangerous nature.

Just as everyone else realized that one of Ryu's teammates had died, another one of his teammates died.

As teammates died one by one in front of Ryu and the others, Ryu lost her mind and charged forward in a rage.

As a result, she couldn't withstand a single move and was easily sent flying by Zagnat.

If it weren't for Zagnat playing around, Ryu's team would have been completely wiped out by now.

To cover Ryu, Kaguya fought with the charging Zagnat, and in doing so, she lost her right arm, the one holding the sword.

The monster was more difficult to deal with than they had ever imagined, so all the remaining team members took it extremely seriously.

All members who could still use ranged magic attacks began to charge up simultaneously, and then unleashed their attacks on Zagnat.

Flames and lightning coalesced into Thunderfire, and as magic-reflecting armor appeared on Zagnat's body, the magical attack struck hard.

Then, Zagnat returned the even more astonishing shockwave of thunder and fire.

Its power is almost twice that of thunder and fire.

Ryu just stared blankly as her teammates were hit by flames and lightning and died tragically.

Another fighter's teammate screamed and attacked Zagnat after he arrived, but couldn't break through his defenses at all.

His right arm, left arm, and torso were torn apart and bitten off in turn. The captain tried to cover him, but his abdomen was pierced through from behind by Zagnat's fingernails.

Then a large number of members of the dark faction were killed, and the scene was filled with bloodshed.

Taking advantage of Zagnat's departure, the surviving members of the clan came to Ryu's side.

"Liang, this time you're probably the only one who will survive. We'll act as bait, and you'll unleash your maximum attack magic."

Ryu possesses healing magic, and although she is currently lying on the ground after being struck in the back by Zagnat, she is almost the least injured among those present.

In this situation, teammates whose eyes were completely burned and could not be healed by magic were more seriously injured than Ryu.

As for why the eyes cannot be healed by magic, it's simply because there are too many nerves in the eyes, requiring extremely high-level magic or extremely rare medicines such as mermaid flesh and blood.

Blindness is the most severe level one disability among the ten levels of disability. Even if Zagnat is killed in the dungeon, he will not be able to return to the surface.

Captain Alisha looked at Ryu. Although she was afraid of death, she wanted Ryu to live even more.

"Ryo, everyone has a different view of justice. I still don't have an answer to what justice is, but Ryu will always make just decisions!"

Although Liu was crying and shaking her head repeatedly, there was no time for sentimentality now.

Alexie continued speaking, because of the adrenaline, her wounds didn't hurt as much, but she had used up a lot of her strength.

She pinched Ryu's right little finger with the thumb and forefinger of her left hand.

This should be the last frenzied dance before death. In this physical condition, it can only last for two minutes at most, and in a fight, it can probably only last for less than thirty seconds.

"We need your magic to defeat that thing. We'll peel off its outer shell, so you stay here and chant. Please..."

At this moment, Ryu was on the verge of collapse, and she heard Alise's last words.

"Rion, you must realize your dream. Goodbye, Rion!"

"You must survive." Lyra, a dwarf who secretly loved Finn, smiled as she approached Zagnat with Alexie.

Kaguya placed her two small katanas on the ground in front of Ryu. "Don't keep them as treasures, use them as much as you can. I hope you remain steadfast, my formidable rival!"

Apart from Ryu, the remaining three, with their wounds having been hastily bandaged, approached Zagnat together.

Ryu looked up at the ceiling, tears streaming down her face. Then she thought of Zagnat's incredible speed and her eyes locked onto his figure.

"The forests and skies that have now faded into the distance. The endless night sky studded with countless stars. Respond to my foolish voice, and once again grant me the protection of starlight."

I have abandoned you, you who are bright and merciful—come, wandering wind, drifting traveler.

Soaring through the sky, galloping across the wilderness, moving at a speed that surpasses all things.

It embodies the brilliance of a galaxy in its conquest of the enemy.

Kaguya and Lyra are both dead. As Alexie's abdomen is pierced again, Alexie has already plunged her sword into Zagnat's abdomen.

She then unleashed a detonation spell, channeling almost all of her remaining magic along the sword into her opponent's body.

At the same time, Zagnat's magic-reflecting armor also shattered.

"Wind of Light!"

The wide-area magical attack composed of wind and light was completed, and a large number of dazzling green light orbs flew towards Alyssa and Zagnat.

The burst of light spread out to a diameter of nearly 100 meters before slowly dissipating.

However, Zagnat charged straight out of the green fireball in the face of this attack.

Alexie was no longer alive; she was consumed by despair at losing her companion, anger at being unable to kill Zagnat, and anxiety at letting him escape.

There was even a sense of shame about being considered powerless yet surviving...

…………

"Ryu?"

Liang Yue's voice woke Liu Liangang from his nightmare.

"Liu, why are you crying?" Liang Yue gently wiped away the girl's tears with her hand, but this action made the girl blush to the tips of her ears.

Elves, especially Ryu, are righteous and have a fastidious nature when it comes to emotions and hygiene; they are truly noble knights.

She was so conservative that she wouldn't let any man touch her hand except her future husband.

However, she tacitly approved of Liang Yue's intimate actions towards her.

"I just had a dream about something not so good. By the way, how was your rest?"

Liang Yue smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you, I rested very well. Eat some more, and try to reduce the weight of the food in your backpack."

My next plan is a bit crazy; I'm going to grind monsters in the arena until my strength breaks through again.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? How can your strength possibly break through without seeking an update from the main god?"

Liu initially didn't believe it, but then she thought about her experiences with Liang Yue during this time.

This guy is a genius. Even without updating his stats, he gets stronger just by fighting.

Such a physique is truly special; she even thought the other party was a descendant of the God of War.

"Then you must be careful, because as soon as one monster is destroyed, another one will be born."

In other words, the total number of monsters here will basically not decrease.

This is basically a miniature dungeon; even Loki's Familia dares not approach it.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue's eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the perfect place to level up?"

"Leveling up?"

Liang Yue coughed. "It's very simple. It's a holy place where I can gain the most practical combat experience."

"How did you do that? Is it possible to increase your strength infinitely simply by improving your combat experience, without relying on divine favor?"
The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that you are a descendant of some deity. Perhaps the god of war, or a descendant of a hero from ancient times.

Liu took out a map and discussed the plan with Liang Yue while they ate:

"Since you've decided to grind levels, then we'll at least have to cross the entire arena and fight at the very edge of the opposite side."

That's where the main route exits.

That way, when you're exhausted, we can immediately retreat across the bridge.

"it is good!"

Liang Yue nodded and walked outside with her weapon, only to have her arm grabbed by Liu again.

"I have five Fire Stones here, but I haven't used them much because the crisis hasn't been too intense. So, you can keep two of them safe."

I almost forgot about this. Although it's not very effective against Zagnat, it's quite efficient for farming monsters.

In the distance was a group of Perdas, with snake-like bodies and limbs, and countless needles on their backs like those of porcupines.

These needles can be fired at high speeds and contain highly toxic substances.

Even a level 4 adventurer, if hit in the limbs, will basically die from the poison within thirty seconds if they don't drink an antidote.

If it were an adventurer with a weaker constitution, such as an assassin or mage, they probably wouldn't last even twenty seconds.

"Ryu, play it by ear. You just need to protect yourself. I'll use my high-speed movement slash to kill them first."

"Ah."

Liu nodded; her aura was well concealed by the sheepskin covering her skeleton.

"Roar!"

The Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash was unleashed instantly, and Liang Yue killed all twenty or so Perdas on the stone bridge in one fell swoop.

He then stopped and stood still, waiting for Ryu to approach.

Faced with this monster that can release deadly poison, he must use the Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash to kill it.

Otherwise, if a large number of poisonous stingers fly over, there is still a certain risk.

One by one, the Perdas turned into smoke and completely dissipated, and Liang Yue looked around.

The stone bridge is about twelve meters wide, and on both sides of the bridge are countless sharp stone spikes. Many adventurers' corpses have fallen on it and been pierced by the stone spikes.

Liang Yue held Sloth and Pride in her hands. Sloth's sword aura could freeze these monsters, while Pride's sword aura had a penetrating attribute.

"Let me see just how strong this arena really is."

Upon hearing the roar of the dragon unleashed by the Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash, a large number of monsters, drawn by the sound, roared and charged out from inside the arena.

These monsters, armed with stone or bone weapons, crowded towards the stone bridge.

In their excitement, many monsters were pushed and shoved by the monsters that followed, falling off the stone bridge and being pierced by sharp stone spikes, turning into black mist and dissipating.

Liang Yue watched this scene with a pained expression, while Liu's face was filled with confusion.

What's going on? Could it be that he's upset that he didn't kill these monsters with his own hands?

"Ryu, I'm about to start the battle! Be careful!"

"it is good!"

Liu stood beside Liang Yue, her magic power gathering in her palm, ready to unleash magic to support Liang Yue at any moment.

As for Liang Yue, she gripped Pride tightly and then thrust it towards the monster in front of her.

One after another, sword energies, each no bigger than a palm and shaped like arrowheads, flew out.

Then, like rain, it splashed onto the monsters in the distance.

Although there were many monsters, Liang Yue always made sure to aim for high accuracy when unleashing her sword energy for ranged attacks.

"Couldn't the speed of the sword energy be increased further?"

This is the question Liang Yue is pondering at this moment: skeleton sheep, werewolves, earth-born people, lizardmen, and many other monsters are constantly approaching.

However, Liang Yue's sword energy attacks also became more frequent and intense.

He actually managed to force back these attacks that came like a tidal wave.

Suddenly, a creature emerged from the ground, but as soon as it revealed a hand, it was met with an arrogant sword tip that pierced through it.

Liang Yue surveyed the monsters around him, his heart starting to race. Seeing so many monsters, the background experience points of the Sword Soul template were constantly increasing.

That's it!

Breaking Army Rising Dragon Strike, Breaking Army Dragon Slaying Strike!
Even the barbarian warriors that appeared in front of him were no match for the Dragon Slayer Strike.

With most of the surrounding monsters cleared out, Ryu quickly followed Liang Yue's footsteps.

They actually headed directly from the stone bridge towards the center of the arena.

The walls of the dueling arena were riddled with holes, from which flashes of red light emanated, and countless monsters of all kinds were constantly being born.

One by one, like a tide.

Liang Yue sheathed the blade, focused her sword energy on the inside of the blade, and then unleashed a sudden, powerful slash...
