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

Chapter 194 Everyone, please lend me a hand!
The main objective of this expedition has been achieved: his Sword Soul template has been upgraded to level 55, and he has successfully acquired new skills.

Ahead was a long, narrow cave, like a corridor, with no monsters around or inside.

Liang Yue's killing intent had already foreseen the impending danger.

He looked at Ryu, "Ryu."

"Ah."

Ryuya cautiously drew his weapon.

Liang Yue unleashed jealousy and arrogance, her body shimmering with light.

War fervor, flowing heart, weapon restraint, ultimate weaponry...

All sorts of status skills have been applied to him all at once.

Liang Yue took the lead, unleashing her Triple Slash and rushing out of the cave first.

On the cliff, Zagnat suddenly plummeted to the ground.

"boom!"

The mere impact with the ground shattered it, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At the last moment, Zagnat blocked the exit for Liang Yue and her companion to leave the thirty-seventh floor.

A piece of the monster's corpse was still hanging from its mouth when it swallowed the monster's body.

It seems that if the monster doesn't die on the spot, it's indeed possible to cut off parts of its body to make food.

"Ryu, did you see that? We can capture the monster alive, process its flesh, and eat it. That way, we won't lack food anymore!"

Aside from compressed rations, regular water and food take up a lot of space.

For example, a normal adult male, no matter how frugal he is, would still need to consume 1,000 kilocalories if he only eats rice for one meal. That translates to 900 grams of rice, which is roughly the size of a cube with a diameter of 10 centimeters.

This is merely for survival; to embark on an expedition in the dungeon and rely solely on rice would be suicidal.

A lack of nutrition can lead to a decline in physical condition, a slight decrease in nerve reflexes and agility, which can be the difference between life and death.

"Liang Yue, that's Zagnat. Shouldn't we be cautious in this battle?"

Liang Yue nodded. "Mm."

Looking at Zagnat in the distance, one could see that the other's entire body had undergone a significant change.

His entire body was covered with hideous bone spikes, and special skeletal armor covered Zagnat's torso.

Moreover, except for the tips of the limbs, the skeletal structure of the other animal has undergone significant changes, clearly resembling that of an arthropod.

Even almost all the joints were covered with special skeletal armor.

In fact, his whole body seemed to have gotten a size or two bigger.

"This structure looks incredibly fast, and the previously relatively flexible torso is now equipped with exoskeleton armor?"

This Zagnat came fully prepared, having devoured countless monsters, and had further specialized in strength, speed, and defense.

Through the gaps in Zagnat's torso armor, Liang Yue could vaguely see the heads of monsters such as Perda and the Skeleton Sheep.

"Has it already taken on the form of a chimera?"

Zagnat charged toward Liang Yue, his entire figure almost turning into a black phantom.

Liang Yue unleashed the Breaking Army Dragon Slaying Strike, engaging in a direct confrontation with the opponent's claws.

"boom!"

Zagnat's figure swayed a few times in place, while Liang Yue retreated three or four meters behind her.

Even though you've leveled up several times, is your strength attribute still lagging behind the opponent's evolution speed?
Zagnat's strength is terrifying.

Zagnat raised its hand and saw that its claws had just been cut open by two millimeters.

This is one of the hardest parts of its entire body; if its claws can be cut through, then the defenses of other parts of its body will naturally be the same.

So Zagnat changed his strategy and jumped directly onto the cliff not far away, his muscles bursting out from his carapace and exoskeleton.

The muscles turned into tumors, and hundreds of bone spurs coalesced into sharp stakes, launching a barrage of attacks towards Liang Yue.

Not only Liang Yue, but even Liu Xiangfang is being attacked by the other side.

Bone spurs, each less than fifty centimeters long and only one or two centimeters in diameter, transformed into a torrential rain, pouring down on Liang Yue and her companion.

This is completely better than the original work!
Liang Yue cursed inwardly, and the next moment she unleashed the Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash to block in front of Liu.

The twin swords unleashed sword energy, forming a rain curtain that blocked all attacks from the front.

Seeing that Liang Yue could release sword energy to completely defend against its attack, Zagnat directly stuck one of his arms into the wall.

As a result, a large number of bone-like spikes appeared on the ground where Liang Yue and the others were.

This is an attack from Udeos, the master of the deepest floor. Could it be that this Zagnat in front of us has also devoured Udeos?
Liang Yue hugged Liu and moved at lightning speed, dodging all of Zagnat's ground spike attacks.

The speed at which these spikes attacked was so fast that Liang Yue didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

"Ryu, I won't be able to take care of you anymore. You need to play it by ear. I'll handle this Zagnat head-on!"

"Perfect, let me try out this new trick and see if you can defend against it."

Liu stared blankly at Liang Yue; Liang Yue's talent was simply too outrageous.

Even though Zagnat had most likely devoured Udeos, Liang Yue hadn't been injured even once.

On the other hand, I myself have needed their help on several occasions.

She has to pull herself together.

Zagnat's spike attack had already stopped, and after sensing the danger, it began to observe Liang Yue's movements again.

Blue and white ripples of light spread around Liang Yue, with twenty-four sharp blades appearing and disappearing within them.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Yue picked up a sharp blade in each hand and threw it toward Zagnat.

Zagnat naturally used his claws to knock these blades away, but as the blades were knocked away...

Liang Yue's figure had already appeared near the blades that had been knocked away. Then, holding one of the knocked-away blades, she quickly unleashed the Breaking Army Dragon Slash.

"boom!"

Liang Yue's blade easily struck Zagnat's body, leaving a narrow slash more than ten millimeters deep and over a meter long on his torso.

"efficient!"

Zagnat's tail lashed out at Liang Yue, who vanished instantly, reappearing near the second fallen weapon.

This weapon, which happens to be jealousy, is also a katana. Its characteristics are slowness and collapse.

The sword energy stagnation effect was released instantly, and then streaks of green sword energy enveloped Zagnat's entire body.

Phantom Sword Dance!

Liang Yue gripped Jealousy tightly with both hands, unleashing a series of increasingly swift slashes that struck Zagnat's body, slicing through and shattering the exoskeleton armor on his torso bit by bit.

Zagnat roared and leaped away, running towards the wall on the other side.

Liang Yue unleashed the Selfless Sword Domain once more, and the remaining twenty-odd sharp blades flew towards Zagnat again.

In mid-air, Zagnat knocked away all the blades.

But the next moment, Liang Yue had already grabbed one of the weapons that had been knocked away and instantly reappeared. Then she unleashed the Dragon Slash, and Zagnat's reaction speed was no match for Liang Yue's attack speed.

One after another, spikes were released from Zagnat's body, while Liang Yue's figure flickered around the fallen weapons.

Zagnat lashed its tail toward Liang Yue, but Liang Yue's figure vanished once again.

Then, he unleashed the Breaking Army Dragon Slayer Strike again, knocking the opponent off the wall and onto the ground.

"boom!"

Zagnat, who was about 20 meters tall, crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.

Before it could react, more than twenty sharp blades rained down on its location at lightning speed.

Zagnat also released spikes, which collided with the sharp blades.

The blade that was knocked away instantly turned into a blue-white stream of light and returned to Liang Yue's surroundings.

Then Liang Yue threw these blades again, heading towards Zagnat.

Zagnat also launched an attack towards Liang Yue's position.

Twenty-four sharp blades were thrown by Liang Yue, creating the effect of hundreds or even thousands of blades.

"Ding! Ding! Ding..."

Liu, from a distance, unleashed magic at Zagnat. Each attack failed to harm him, but it did cause him to lose his balance slightly.

Liang Yue seized the opportunity and this time used both hands to express jealousy and original sin.

Original sin condenses into blunt weapons to pierce armor, while jealousy is used to slow down the armor on the opponent.

Zagnat turned to attack Liu, but Liang Yue had already appeared beside Zagnat in an instant.

Just as he was about to unleash his attack, Zagnat's entire body was once again frozen by the sword energy.

Of course, the sword energy stagnation effect of Phantom Sword Dance is not very effective against Zagnat.

But Liang Yue's attacks, each faster than the last, arrived in an instant.

In just one second, Liang Yue had already slashed dozens of times.

Then a shockwave of sword energy slashed out, sending Zagnat flying seven or eight meters away.

A large amount of exoskeleton armor fell off Zagnat's torso, and some blood even dripped onto the ground.

At that moment, Zagnat once again plunged his limbs into the ground.

Spikes sprouted from the ground, relentlessly chasing after Liang Yue's location.

Faced with this attack, Liang Yue unleashed the Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash at Zagnat.

The golden dragon head collided with the opponent's head, slashing a crack in it.

Because Zagnat had plunged both hands into the ground to attack, it couldn't dodge Liang Yue's moves at all.

Switching back to the Dragon Slayer Strike, a dazzling golden slash easily sliced ​​through Zagnat's entire body.

After unleashing six consecutive slashes, Zagnat finally found an opportunity to retreat.

Zagnat seemed to become even angrier and more impatient, and was just about to retaliate again when an even more solid sword aura stagnation effect appeared.

Unbeknownst to Zagnat, Liang Yue had already unleashed the Selfless Sword Domain around him.

The twenty-four blades were positioned in various locations in the air and on the ground. Although his Selfless Sword Domain could hold forty-eight blades, he didn't have that many bound weapons at the moment.

Zagnat's body had been hoisted into the air by the sword energy.

"Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique (Storm Style)!"

As if teleporting, Liang Yue's figure had already appeared inside the sword formation domain.

"Roar!"

Zagnat tried to struggle, but the sword formation's sword energy solidification effect made it incredibly sturdy.

Even if Zagnat wanted to break free, it would take him some time.

Liang Yue picked up one of the weapons and slashed at the opponent.

Then came the second weapon, unleashing a barrage of sword energy strikes. Like a raging storm, Liang Yue released a massive amount of golden sword energy strikes during her high-speed movement.

The Extreme Ghost Sword Technique (Iron-Cutting Style) had already been automatically activated, and Liang Yue was gradually becoming adept at exploiting the weaknesses in Zagnat's body.

Then came even more ferocious, high-speed slashes.

On Zagnat's body, exoskeleton armor, scales, and flesh gradually fell away, with large amounts of his outer shell dropping off.

However, after the outer shell of Zagnat was cut open, Liang Yue saw a large number of densely packed skeletal skulls inside.

You can barely make out the heads of monsters such as skeletal sheep, earth-born people, lizardmen, and barbarian warriors.

Moreover, these heads were actually wriggling with Zagnat's breathing, like maggots inside rotting flesh.

Liang Yue gritted her teeth and continued to maintain the high-speed, storm-like style, causing more bones to fall from Zagnat's body to the ground.

Having exhausted most of her strength, Liang Yue then gathered the sword energy from the twenty-four weapons together and unleashed an upward slash at Zagnat!

The golden sword energy condensed into a dazzling golden shockwave.

In that instant, Zagnat finally managed to free one of his right arms from his restraints and used it to shield himself.

The golden shockwave sent Zagnat flying, completely shattering his right arm and even part of his right shoulder.

"—The forest and sky are now gone. The endless night sky, studded with countless stars, responds to my foolish voice, and once again bestows upon me the protection of starlight. To those who have abandoned you, light and mercy—Come, wandering wind, drifting traveler. Soar through the sky, gallop across the wilderness, and move with the speed of all things. Conquer your enemies with the brilliance of the stars."

While Liang Yue was unleashing the Extreme Ghost Sword Technique Storm Style, or even during their previous battle, Liu began to accumulate magic power and chant spells at high speed.

After Liang Yue unleashed the Storm Style, a large number of white-green energy clusters flew towards Zagnat, who had fallen to the ground.

"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and Zagnat's entire body emitted mournful cries.

However, Zagnat once again escaped from the magical bombardment unleashed by Ryu.

This time, however, the opponent was still in mid-air when it was bombarded by an even larger amount of energy.

I won't make the same mistake twice!

White rays of light appeared around these green energy orbs, and Ryu's figure stepped directly onto these orbs and flew up.

"Everyone, lend me a hand!"

Suddenly, Ryu thought of a more powerful magic, and as if she had an epiphany, she awakened this power.

The power possessed by his former companions was concentrated in these orbs of light.

All the orbs of light struck Zagnat again, completely shattering his other arm.

Even with all of Ryu's power, the attack only managed to shatter Zagnat's other arm.

"How could this be? Even with all that, you still can't kill them?"

Ryu exhausted almost all her magic power, but the damage was still not enough...

Zagnat lost more bones and skulls, shrinking its overall size once more, before lunging at Ryu, who was kneeling on the ground unable to move...
