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

Chapter 249 God's Assassin, Entres
"Hermes' retinue is responsible for luring the enemy. They don't need to fight head-on. They just need to attract the enemy and keep them occupied. Don't force it."

Of course, even in combat at this level, casualties are very likely to occur.

None of those present knew the number or strength of the enemy.

The scale of the monsters bred and multiplied by the God Assassins, Entreles, is something they know very little about.

Moreover, their distribution range is very wide, so Hermes' team needs to lure some of these monsters away while preserving themselves.

This created an opportunity for Liang Yue and others to get closer to Ontres.

"Falgar, I'm temporarily handing over command of the Hermes Familia to you. Once I leave the base, you'll be in charge of the real-time tactics!"

"Yes!"

Falgar appears to be a lion-man, belonging to a branch of the beastmen.

This race produces outstanding warriors, with lionmen being particularly strong, frontal assault warriors who prioritize power.

Artemis continued to issue orders, "While you all hold off the enemy, we will infiltrate and directly target Entres."

That door can only be opened by my divine will, so I will go there.

Although this would increase the danger for Artemis, she herself didn't have much time left.

Liang Yue only has a solution now, but he doesn't know the exact success rate.

After all, the other party is a god, and whether his plan will succeed is still unknown.

Upon hearing the news that Artemis was going to personally go to the front lines, Hestia also volunteered.

"I also need to go!"

Now that she knows everything, she has only one thought: to help her best friend as much as possible.

Even if this could very well put her in a dangerous situation as well.

Hermes chimed in, "I can't miss out on something like this. I have to join in the fun no matter what."

This battle request was originally commissioned by Artemis, so both Liang Yue and Hermes' adventure team will receive a good reward.

The people here are currently very enthusiastic, and Artemis is looking at them intently:

May you all have great success in your military endeavors!

The adventurers shouted excitedly, and it seemed that for this reason, the monsters in the distance approached and launched a surprise attack.

Liang Yue soared into the air, and hundreds of weapons instantly appeared before falling towards the location of the monsters.

After Liang Yue cleared a space for everyone present, he quickly left with Artemis and the others.

The group is now heading to the lake castle in the center of the forest.

This place was originally an island in a lake in the forest, which later became a castle in the lake and took on the responsibility of being a sealed place.

The castle is accessible only through its main gate, a relatively narrow stone path that connects the gate to the forest.

The lake had long since turned an ominous dark red, and a pungent odor filled the air.

Liang Yue and the others followed the stone path to the interior of the castle, where they saw towering giant trees.

The giant tree appears to be made up of countless vines, and its crown has long since turned red.

If things continue to develop, this giant tree might turn into a monster.

Liang Yue and the others continued forward, and there was a tall tower not far away.

Its shape is somewhat similar to the Tower of Babel, but it is not as tall and magnificent.

"This is an ancient temple forgotten by history."

Liang Yue didn't know exactly how long this temple had existed, but it must have been at least several hundred or even a thousand years old.

The crowd filed in through the tower's entrance, where a faint blue light emanated from the cracks in the brickwork.

It appears as if there are a large number of blue crystals inside the bricks.

Or perhaps for some other reason, in any case, the blue light was not dense on the cracks in the walls of the passage.

Liang Yue looked at Artemis, "What are these lights?"

"This is light from the seal!"

Artemis explained to Liang Yue, "Only an elf like me could create such a seal."

Liang Yue's gaze swept across the wall, where he saw reliefs.

The relief depicts a woman holding a bow and arrow, with the moon in front of her and a giant scorpion in the distance.

Above this are curved clouds, and below are burning flames.

At least according to Liang Yue's speculation, it should be flames.

As Liang Yue walked, he observed the reliefs. He saw that behind the first woman who drew her bow and shot an arrow at the giant scorpion, there were two other female archers.

Behind them is an image of a tall tower.

“The stories of my oldest clans have been carved on this wall by others.”

Before long, the group arrived at the massive stone gate.

Liang Yue's body shimmered with light, and he had now activated all his state abilities except for the Thunder Flame Qi Sea and the Selfless Mark.

Sword marks began to appear on her body, and the stinging pain of her blood vessels being constantly cut pushed Liang Yue's perception to its limit.

Artemis glanced at Liang Yue in surprise, then quickly placed her hand on the stone door in front of her.

When the goddess placed her hand on the moon carving in the center of the stone gate, her whole body shimmered with golden light.

At this moment, the mechanism carved with the moon also began to rotate, with the moon and the arrow next to it rotating in sync.

The stone door then opened to both sides according to the track, and then slowly disappeared into the walls on both sides.

The heavy stone door made a dull rumbling sound as it moved, and the surrounding ground trembled noticeably as a result.

What appeared before Liang Yue and the others was a large number of insect eggs.

The overall shape resembles red blood vessels forming vines that then occupy the walls, ceiling, and floor of the passageway.

Afterwards, tumor-like incubation chambers for insect eggs formed on them, and the stone gate behind Liang Yue and the others was covered by the proliferation of tumors.

Then a large number of insect eggs opened up the gaps, and scorpion-type monsters fell to the ground from the insect egg incubation pods.

Transparent sap dripped from the newly born monster's shell onto the ground.

Liang Yue frowned, and then eight sword-qi flying swords condensed and appeared, following Liang Yue's will, and launched an attack on all the monsters and incubation pods around them.

Liang Yue felt somewhat disgusted by attacks using physical blades.

"Exp+766"

I never expected to gain experience from destroying monsters and incubation pods!

Chun frowned as she followed Hestia and the others; these insect eggs and worms were truly disgusting.

Her strength is the lowest among those of the three gods, so she should avoid battle as much as possible.

"Self-replication! Self-evolution!"

Hermes frowned as he looked at the monsters; he noticed something.

That is, these monsters are becoming increasingly difficult to kill.

The monsters we just saw had clean wounds before they died.

As Liang Yue continued to attack with her sword qi, the monsters' defenses visibly increased. For example, their shells were changing shape, and the cuts were gradually shrinking.

Liang Yue glanced at it and immediately understood the problem: "That's right, these monsters are adapting to my attacks."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the destruction is faster than their reproduction and evolution."

Ryu glanced at Ais, "Ais, protect the gods."

Ais nodded; she was very fast. It would be very suitable for protecting the gods.

Then Liu began to chant, and then a large number of green winds appeared.

Using her weapon, Ryu unleashed the surrounding gusts of wind that enveloped the insect eggs within the passage.

"Rumble..."

A large number of incubation chambers were reduced to minced meat and fell to the ground under this attack, along with all the monsters inside.

The attack just now clearly only destroyed a small part of it, which is far less than the dense cultivation chambers in the entire tunnel.

Liu Li'ang turned around and glanced at Liang Yue. "Liang Yue's current situation is very bad, according to this situation."

If this continues, this place will become even more troublesome than the dungeons of Orario!

Orario's dungeons are currently being suppressed by Uranus; what if this place becomes even more troublesome than the dungeons?

So which deity could suppress this place?

Does a god more powerful than Uranus exist in this world?
Liang Yue wasn't too clear about the specific strength of these gods; the gods of this world and the gods of Norse mythology shared almost the same names.

At most, they might have the same job title, but the things they experienced in mythology cannot be directly applied to this world.

Liang Yue controlled the flying sword to attack, and Liu wanted to continue attacking but was stopped by Liang Yue.

"Leave all these monsters and embryonic structures to me. You must conserve your strength as much as possible!"

In reality, it was purely because Liang Yue wanted to enjoy these experiences all to herself.

Eight flying swords flew simultaneously, and the monster was killed as soon as it got close.

Meanwhile, the incubation pods were destroyed one by one as Liang Yue and the others advanced.

Although there are numerous gestation chambers throughout the ancient ruins, the number of these fleshy walls and monsters is also outrageous.

But we'll clean as much as we can.

Seeing the experience points on the Sword Soul template constantly increasing, Liang Yue couldn't help but smile.

This kind of rapid skill enhancement experience is truly amazing.

Of course, it would be even better if he could easily defeat the final boss!

Liang Yue glanced at Artemis when she had a spare moment; as she got closer to the God Assassin, Artemis's condition was deteriorating.

Liang Yue frowned, then sped up the process of cleaning up the surrounding area.

The medical supplies he brought this time were quite sufficient, and before he even saw that guy, he immediately replenished his health while fighting.

This place is like an underground city; as you go deeper underground, the surrounding environment becomes more and more open.

Liang Yue didn't have the energy to destroy the vascular vines covering the walls. He could only clear out the monsters and the fleshy, bud-like growths within his attack range as much as possible.

Under Artemis's guidance, Liang Yue and the others seemed to be moving inside the heart of some kind of behemoth.

The walls, ceiling, and floor were completely covered with scarlet veins.

Cutting with a blade can even cause red liquid to flow from the wound.

As they moved forward, stepping on these veins, it was as if they were moving inside the heart of some giant.

After some time, Liang Yue and the others discovered their target – the God Assassin, Leteons.

Its body has black veins that connect it to the scarlet wall, and some unknown liquid is flowing from the wall's veins into the black veins.

Finally, it flows into Leteons' body.

These black blood vessels, like the blood vessels of the heart, are constantly expanding and contracting in a regular pattern.

Lighton's true form is like a combination of a spider and a scorpion, with numerous exoskeleton arms and a long scorpion tail.

Lying on the ground, his back looked like it was covered in a spider.

It resembles a chimera of a spider and a scorpion.

Upon seeing Liang Yue and the others, Leteons roared, then his entire body emitted a dark purple light as he flew towards the hollow area above his head.

As Lighteons released a dark purple light, Artemis clutched her heart and knelt on the ground.

Then the spider's body opened up to reveal a transparent crystal.

Inside the crystal lies the sleeping Artemis.

In other words, those were the actual remains of Artemis.

The Artemis standing next to Liang Yue now is Artemis's mental manifestation, and it looks like it's about to give up.

Liang Yue frowned as she watched this scene, her body flashing with light as lightning and flames enveloped her.

The sword energy of selflessness continued to cut his blood vessels, and the marks of selflessness formed from the slashes began to appear on his face and body.

A dark purple light erupted from Ontres's body and shot into the sky.

Then, this power reached the giant crescent moon high in the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the enormous crescent moon can be seen to be formed by countless magic circles.

Then a dazzling stream of light burst forth from the giant crescent moon, and a large number of white rays descended from the sky.

These beams of light crashed to the ground, continuously bombarding the forest near the ruins of Elsos.

Each beam of light can deliver a full-force blow to a Lv5 or even Lv6 swordsman, and that's just the lower limit of its power.

Seemingly due to a lack of precise control, only a small portion of the light falling from the sky landed near Liang Yue and the others.

The entire ruins of Elsos and the surrounding forest were trembled violently, as if struck by a powerful earthquake.

The interior of the ruins was filled with rubble, shockwaves, smoke, earthquakes, and other debris.

The area where Liang Yue and the others were located also suffered a large-scale collapse as a result...

…………

Orario Surface

Eina, who was in the guild, was drawn by her colleagues' voices and looked up at the sky as they reminded her.

Then, looking at the sky in confusion, he wondered, "Why is there a moon in the middle of the day?"

Yes, a white crescent moon appeared in the clear blue sky above Orario.

This unusual phenomenon prompted the guild members to start talking. After all, it was too special and too rare, and since they were relatively free at the moment, they began to discuss it among themselves.

"What on earth is going on?"

“Eina? I’d like to know why that is.”

Perth and the others came running from a distance, looking disheveled, covered in sweat, and extremely panicked.

"Miss Eina! A monster riot has broken out in the dungeon! The strength of those monsters is far beyond our capabilities!"
Please deploy adventurers of the highest rank; they must be at least level 5!
