Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

First, there's the armor he's wearing.

Without a doubt, the armor that Blaze is wearing right now is the toughest in the world right now, bar none.

There's no doubt about it; this is the truth.

The reason is quite simple. The main reason is that among all the Tier 1 adventurers who are qualified to have high-level equipment from Orario, 99% are not heavy armor classes; they are almost all light armor or mail armor.

The highest-ranking member, [Fierce Warrior] Ota, basically doesn't wear armor at all, just a breastplate as a token gesture.

Grace is the only pure avant-garde heavy armor warrior.

That's right, there really is only Grace.

The armor that Grace wore during the expedition was not as good as the lower-tier equipment that Flame originally wore.

Not to mention the upgraded equipment that has now been enhanced.

Whether it's the Barroth armor and waist armor, or the Rock Dragon helmet, gauntlets, and leg armor, they are all equipment known for their strength and hardness. The Barroth armor is a product of the craftsmen's single-minded pursuit of hardness during the production process.

Plus, strong steel...

All I can say is that I understand everything.

Moreover, the Flame Armor itself is not only hard, but after the equipment reaches the high-level, it can also be considered to have the initial qualifications to be inlaid with decorative items.

In addition to the skills that could be combined with the equipment that Lieyan was wearing, Lieyan also commissioned the old man with the knife pattern to inlay defense beads, poison resistance beads, and fire resistance beads.

While enhancing defense, it also grants immunity to common toxins and significantly increases fire resistance.

The level of effectiveness of immunity to common toxins is still unknown, since there are no poisonous monsters on the fifteenth floor; such things can only be encountered further into the dungeon.

However, Blaze has personally experienced the benefits of defense and fire resistance.

After testing, it can be basically confirmed that as long as you protect your exposed chin and neck, you can basically bathe in the flames of the hellhound. Melee attacks from the unicorn rabbit, hellhound, and even the Minotaur can be largely ignored.

The value of the Minotaur's new adventurer killer title is still decreasing!

If it goes any lower, it will be like the gold medals from the Tokyo Olympics—the paint will peel off, and it will become extremely copper-containing!

Besides the armor, the performance of the new Charge Blade also surprised Flame.

If he had gone all out like he did today, he would have needed to sharpen his sword by now. But with both the blade and the axe blade enhanced, even after several battles, the shield and axe's edge is almost undamaged.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the world of DanMachi, minerals like adamantite are already high-level materials that even first-level adventurers use when forging weapons.

Tiona's previous great double blade, Urga, was made entirely of solid steel. Before encountering the new type of worm monster capable of destroying weapons with indestructible properties, this weapon had accompanied Tiona on several expeditions into the deepest parts of the dungeon and returned intact.

It's incredibly valuable.

"Weapon and equipment testing is complete, so what's next...?"

The sword and shield were brought together and planted on the ground. Flame rested his hands comfortably on the shield, which was a bit taller than the average height of the dwarves.

It is impossible to go back.

It's still early. Judging from the glowing moss overhead, it's only around noon. Going back now would be too early no matter what.

How about continuing to explore the lower levels of the dungeon? How about trying to conquer level 20 alone?

That's not a good idea either.

Previously, Aisling led the way to the 20th floor. The Blazing Flame itself does not have a map of the 20th floor dungeon. Blindly exploring the dungeon without a map is a major taboo for adventurers. If you accidentally get lost, you're doomed.

So, let's find the cows on the fifteenth floor and have some fun.

"...I really have to thank you all."

Raising his eyes, Blaze slightly turned his head to look at the Minotaur that was slowly appearing at either end of the passage where he was located.

then,

Show a kind smile.

The chainsaw started spinning.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Moo-hoo ...

A muffled roar echoed from the passageway on the fifteenth floor. The bull-like monster, its eyes bloodshot, stomped its iron hooves and fled madly along the straight passageway.

escape.

This is something that would be virtually impossible in the monster's ecosystem.

But the fact that it's basically impossible means that it's still possible. When the gap between the two sides is too large, even a monster will still adopt the strategy of running away as fast as it can.

Just like the Minotaur who fled after being mercilessly beaten by Loki's kin, who were furious upon their return from the expedition.

And then there's the Minotaur, the lone survivor who fled in panic from the chainsaw man's blade in the fiery dungeon version of the meatpacking plant.

To be honest, Flame really wanted to know if the Minotaur he was falling on was one of the fish that the expedition team had failed to catch before.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why this Minotaur's retreat and escape movements were so smooth.

But it doesn't matter!

Because it will die in the next second!

"Phew, finally cleaned up. I never expected that the last Minotaur would choose to run away... But if you dare to expose your back to the enemy, you're as good as dead."

Pulling out the kunai that had pierced the back of the Minotaur's head, Lieyan casually rubbed the kunai against the Minotaur's skin, then took out a hunting knife and skillfully began to harvest the spoils.

The Minotaur's Copper Skin has been obtained.

The Minotaur's Horn has been obtained.

However, just as Lieyan was cleaning up the battlefield, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently.

"Is this...an earthquake?"

Feeling the tremors beneath his feet, Lie Yan frowned slightly.

Earthquakes can occur in the underground city.

It could even be said that earthquakes occur more frequently in the underground city than anywhere else in the world.

However, earthquakes in underground cities are different from earthquakes in nature because underground cities are alive, and the vibrations generated within them are essentially equivalent to the stress response that occurs in the human body.

Every time an earthquake occurs in the dungeon, things like floors collapsing, causing passageways to disappear, or a large number of monsters falling to the ground at once, creating a massive monster feast.

and.

The resurrection of the floor owner will also cause an earthquake.

……

Wait a minute, is this the floor owner?

Speaking of floor owners, isn't it Goliath's turn to refresh today...?

A sudden thought struck Lie Yan, followed by a wave of astonishment.

Lying trough,

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, no way!

Don't be so sorely naive, Dungeon Fighter Online!!!

Before he could even confirm his thoughts or wait for the shaking to stop, Flame threw the unharvested Minotaur corpse on the spot, braced himself against the swaying, grabbed the shield and axe leaning against the side and his backpack, and ran away without even putting on his cloak.

If he's not mistaken...

If he's not mistaken!!

Amidst the violent shaking, a cracking sound that sent chills down Lieyan's spine rang out intermittently, accumulating like a death knell, relentlessly pursuing him.

Then,

The great collapse has begun.

The sharp rumbling sound seemed to be a signal that it could not hold on any longer, followed by a series of deafening explosions.

The hard rock slabs snapped like fragile biscuits and sank into the dark maw.

The dungeon roared, propelling the beginning of destruction.

As a result, the building loses its stability, like a series of collapsing dominoes, falling rapidly and plunging everything in its path into darkness.

Ultimately, the malevolent cave swallowed everything.

In the darkness, a series of curses could be faintly heard.

"Dungeon, I curse your grandmother!!!"

Chapter 78: Let's start spamming the main content on the TA floor!

come down.

Amidst the violent whistling of the wind that shook his eardrums, the flames, swallowed by darkness, struggled to adjust their bodies. After cursing angrily, the flames had no choice but to face the tragic reality before them.

The underground city has a pyramid-like structure, with the area decreasing as you go up, and the ceiling height is also very low. The combined ceiling height of the sixteenth and seventeenth floors is probably less than one hundred meters.

In other words, it wouldn't be long before Flame, dressed in full armor and looking just like a rock, fell into the trap that the dungeon had carefully prepared for him.

However, the height of the ceiling is meaningless to Lieyan. With the Featherfall skill, he could jump from the top of the World Tree to the bottom in one go without taking any damage.

The key question is, what actions should the flames take after they fall?

To fight or to flee?

As for fighting, he was equipped with brand-new armor and weapons, and his potions were in his backpack, which he had grabbed before falling and had not lost. He also had plenty of stamina, and with his experience with giant beasts, he was certainly capable of fighting Goliath.

However, one must also bear the corresponding risks.

Whether it's adventure or hunting, risks are always present.

If we're talking about escaping...

Admittedly, this should be the easiest way to avoid the dungeon's targeting. Indeed, the eighteenth dungeon below the seventeenth floor where the floor master is born is the first safe floor that adventurers will encounter in the dungeon where monsters will not spawn on their own.

Just walk a few hundred meters from the main hall of the floor where the birth takes place, and you will see the entrance to the eighteenth floor.

Once you reach the eighteenth floor, the threat of Goliath will naturally dissipate.

Goliath's potential ability is LV·4, while the eighteenth floor contains Rivera Town, a town built by adventurers, which is home to hundreds of LV·2 adventurers. Even Perth, the manager of the adventurer town, is only LV·3.
