Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"This is..." Kaguya clenched her fist. Not only was her magic power increasing, but her ability value was also rising. It wasn't an upgrade, but it was as terrifying as if she had been forcibly given two combat skills.

"This is the power of my father!" Narula led her kin, bypassing the Astrea kin and advancing in the opposite direction.

Alexie felt the combat power approaching level 5, her eyes gleaming: "It's possible. With this power, our bond will not lose to anyone!"

She looked up at her fellow clansmen, whose gazes were also varied: "Everyone! It's time to go! Don't lose to the other clans!"

“Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh——”

The group continued to advance along the edge of the labyrinth lake, constantly gathering other fleeing adventurers from other clans and reorganizing their defenses.

But the battle on the 27th floor was even more chaotic than Bilesie had imagined.

Not only are there monsters, but also believers who have infiltrated the party disguised as attacked adventurers and self-destructed, as well as the Lambton Beastmaster, a dark faction who manipulates monsters to emerge from the ground.

The closer they got to the central lake, the more chaotic the fighting became, forcing the teams to scatter and making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

A coiled metal crab; soaring songbirds and happy creatures; floating crystals emitting long-range rays; a half-snake man twisting his waist and swinging his claws; a water horse charging across the water.

Hundreds and thousands of monsters roared as they surged from all parts of the labyrinth, only to be wiped out by the magic corps that protected the crowd.

The labyrinth seemed to have found the adventurers' Achilles' heel, with monsters constantly hatching from the rock walls and ceiling, and the strong smell of blood attracting new monsters to appear once again.

"Ughhhhhh—Burn!"

"Wind of Light!"

"The Staff of the Dionysus, the Supreme God!"

"Fire Hell!"

"Thunderstorm!"

The raging magical energy surged forth, grinding the monster's flesh like a meat grinder. Countless debris was left scattered on the mottled soil, but there was no chance to pick it up.

Holding his staff, Celty stood beside Sharl, enveloped in a purple light as the dissipated magic energy returned to replenish its depleted power.

"Wow, that's powerful! Just like Lady Riveria's 'Fairy Power' (elf army)!"

Extremely valuable system skills, that bear actually had nine of them?

It's not just about magic. Strength, speed, and even defense and damage are all included.

Whenever the [Floating Crystal] suspended in the sky shoots out a beam, an invisible magical wave interferes, invariably causing a terrible magical explosion that destroys the monster.

This phenomenon made all the mages hidden within the dark factions hesitant to use magic, fearing the consequences.

"Yes, you can do it! Hang in there, don't stop!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Wounded players retreat! Quickly, center-backs, provide cover!"

"Maryu! Muryu! Unleash all your healing magic! Don't worry about running out of mana!"

"oh!!"

A vast healing barrier covered the entire army; apart from the light circle beneath their feet, the emerald's healing light continuously nourished the adventurers' bodies.

In an instant, their morale soared, and the counterattack advanced by thirty meters. The formation that had been torn apart by the monster horde gradually transformed into a fortified city.

Just when the adventurers thought they could launch a counterattack immediately.

The splashing sound of the massive creature swimming was caught by Charles amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

"All troops on alert! Watch out, something's coming!" he roared at the top of his lungs.

Wow…

At the center of the waterfall, which is hundreds of meters long, a huge black shadow more than 30 meters long climbs the waterfall upstream.

The sharp-eyed adventurers had already noticed the unusual changes outside, but the monster in front of them gave them no chance to react.

"Roar—"

A two-headed dragon, with a blue crystal growing on its back and a bright red dorsal fin, leaps out of the water from a waterfall thousands of meters high.

Time stood still for the adventurers who witnessed it all.

The gradually enlarging blue and red dragon head slowly approached the lake surface.

Like a giant whale plunging into a deep lake, the calm surface churns and surges, creating towering waves hundreds of meters high...

"That's nonsense..."

"What a mess!"

The adventurers only had time to utter such a cry before the lake, like a tsunami, instantly submerged the lakeshore. Monsters and adventurers alike were all swept away and tumbled by the current, pulled back into the deep lake.

At the same time, a large group of aquatic monsters, waving their fish tails, came at them, tearing at them.

"Gululu..."

Charles tumbled and spun with the current, barely managing to open his eyes. In his line of sight, Phil Weiss stared wide-eyed, stretching out her palm towards him with all her might.

Grab me...

Ciel understood the girl's micro-expressions and reached out his hand to her.

The moment their fingers intertwined, Phil Weiss pulled her into her arms. Attracted by the smell of blood, the piranhas swarmed in, tearing at Phil Weiss's shoulders and limbs.

She closed her eyes tightly and transformed her body into a wall.

Having witnessed everything, Charles sighed inwardly and snapped his fingers in the water.

[Gospel] Two divine runes flashed, and in an instant, all the piranhas within a ten-meter radius turned to ashes.

The churning waters, carrying the two of them, flowed back into an unknown cave, separating them from the others.

Chapter 329 Pochi! You are my god!

"Help...help me! Ugh, so cool..."

"Ah ah ah..."

"Guluuluulu..."

The lake's surface was turbulent with rolling waves, the swirling currents carrying adventurers and monsters in a spiral. Red blood slowly seeped from the bottom of the lake, rising to the surface as the water flowed back up.

The remains of adventurers and the pieces of monsters floated on the gradually calming lake.

"Pfft... Ha!"

On the shore, a hand emerged from the water. Liu lay on the bank, breathing in the fresh air. After a moment, she used both hands to climb ashore.

When she looked up, she saw this scene of the River Styx.

In the 27th floor, the most dangerous thing is definitely not the roaming monsters, nor the ever-present flying swallows, but the terrifying river and lake.

Even adventurers wearing the "Narcissus Spirit Protective Cloth" level 4, if unfamiliar with underwater combat, can easily be held back by underwater monsters and eventually suffocate to death.

Thinking about what would happen if I fell into the water...

Ryu's pupils trembled as she cried out to her companions, "Ariseh, Kaguya! Niz! Lyra—! Iska! Aste! Celty! Maru...?"

"Pfft, ha! Stop yelling, you blockhead. It's so noisy." Kaguya dragged Layla by the collar as she climbed out of the blood-soaked lake.

"Don't just stand there, there are still many adventurers who need rescue, get moving!" Kaguya spat out the lake water, took a deep breath, chanted, and with a leap, continued to dive into the lake.

At that moment, Alexie also dragged Celty and Leyana to the surface.

"You guys stay on the ground and provide cover. Those over there, if they can still move, come with me to rescue them!"

The rescue operation couldn't continue. After fifty adventurers were pulled ashore, the lake surface began to ripple.

Thud————

At the bottom of the enormous soda lake, a gigantic dragon shadow, over thirty meters tall, glides through the unfathomable depths, its limbs covered in eardrums.

Its tail spun, its waist swung, and it suddenly accelerated. It opened its enormous mouth and devoured everything in its path.

Alexandra, with her longsword held high, jammed the opening and closing teeth, crashing all the way from the bottom of the lake to the sky.

"Alicie!"

On the ground, Leyana and Celty raised their staffs, and the flames and lasers they had prepared beforehand converged and shot out.

The dragon's head, Amphispina, was raised high, spewing out thick, blood-red haze.

The thunder and artillery fire collided with the smog, and after traveling a short distance, vanished without a trace.

"Magic is useless against Amphispina! The mist emitted by the red head can weaken the power of magic until it is eliminated!" Lyra recalled the information from the floor master and reminded him loudly.

now……

It bit down on Alyssa's head, released its sharp teeth, and flung Alyssa away. It adjusted its feeding posture and waited for Alyssa to fall freely.

As the dragon's teeth opened and closed...

"Ka————"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Alexie's gaze sharpened, and she roared fiercely, "Burn fiercely! Red flowers in full bloom!"

Flames erupted from beneath her feet, and a fireball shot out, piercing Amphispina's throat. Alexie used the momentum to leap, landing towards the bottom of the distant lake.

"Roar—"

Anfispina, in pain, shook its long, serpentine head, stirring the surface of the lake.

The blue dragon head took a deep breath, and a burst of azure dragon breath instantly spread along the shore, engulfing the adventurers on the bank and eliciting shrill screams.

They howled and jumped back into the water, but the blue flames burning on their bodies, like an ancient curse, could not be extinguished. The burning of their skin and the excruciating pain in their nerves rendered them powerless to struggle, and they were gradually devoured by the aquatic monsters, sinking into the abyss.

Or they were rolled in the mud and burned alive by the flames.

Lakes stained crimson with blood, the undying azure breath of dragons, and adventurers with expressions of despair—these elements combine to create a breathtaking panorama of hell.

"Hehehehe..." Valetta, who arrived late, stood on the cliff face of the 26th floor and let out a piercing, wicked laugh: "I've really seen something good!!"

"Lady Valetta, shall we proceed?" the officer behind her asked.

Valeta raised her hand: "Hey? Let them play with Amphispina first."

The officer hesitated, "But, Lady Valetta, your current decision falls under Tina's summary of 'The Villain's Self-Cultivation, Part Three: Flag - Use every trick in the book you have.'"

"The usual outcome is that they get counter-attacked and killed..."
