Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

Time goes back a long time.

The members of Loki's clan had just finished a "weapon test" that had lasted for several days and were retreating from the depths back to the adventurer town of [Rivera] on the 18th floor, where they stayed and rested for half a day.

Prepare to return to the surface today.

The test results were quite satisfactory. Grace looked at the report in his hand and thought that the boy named Al was indeed not lying.

That’s right, why would people deceive themselves?

These two mysterious creations, known as "air combat machines," are indeed quite powerful.

After these days of testing.

First, it was confirmed that it can easily deal with monsters above the middle level, and that it has a very strong additional effect in the 19th to 24th floors, which are called the "Big Tree Maze" and are like a primeval forest.

Not only can it fly, but it is also really good at burning trees.

Those troublesome insect monsters that are numerous and hide in the forest are usually burned down along with the forest.

weakness is.

After entering the large waterfall area on the 25th to 27th floors, its performance was somewhat poor - it is not good at fighting in water.

However, after leaving the waterfall and entering the dense forest canyon on the 29th floor, it becomes powerful and useful again.

And unexpectedly.

The most it can find is the "deep maze" after the 37th floor, and it can also cause certain damage to the monsters in it.

"In that case, based on firepower alone, it can be roughly assessed as the attack magic released by a Level 2-3 wizard, and it also has the advantage of not requiring chanting."

Grace made this final assessment.

Unfortunately.

Its speed is still a bit slow, and it has almost no way to deal with certain specialized high-speed monsters.

One of the air combat machines was nearly destroyed by the Flash Swallow on the 25th floor, and lost half of its arm.

But even so.

It was already quite powerful, after all, Grace remembered what the boy said.

Something like this.

He said.

【As many as you want, as many as you want. 】

"If there were tens of thousands of them, they could probably wipe out all the monsters on certain floors..."

Grace couldn't help but sigh, then shook her head.

I think this is unlikely.

I estimate that hundreds or even dozens of them would be enough.

Well.

Young people all like to say some weird and cool things, which is understandable.

The dwarf uncle thought so, touched his messy and thick beard, and then prepared to gather his clan members and start the journey back to the ground.

Chapter 33: Destiny is an accident woven by clever threads

The Rocky clan camp stationed outside the small town of Rivera is quite lively at the moment.

The huge crystal cluster located above everyone's heads, serving as the light source for this floor, was emitting bright light.

This time, the clan's weapons test even continued to go deep into the 39th floor. In a sense, it was no less than an "expedition" of some clans.

By the way, we also defeated the powerful BOSS-level monster that had just been refreshed - Udaeus, the lone maze king located in the center of the 37th floor.

Of course, the two air combat machines were of little help in the battle with Udaeus.

It can hardly cause any damage to the Labyrinth King who is at least LV6 or above.

However, the crusade was completed relatively easily.

After all, for this weapons test, the Loki clan itself dispatched Grace, a LV6, four LV5 adventurers, a considerable number of entourages, and an elven magic troop led by a LV4 wizard.

And, Udaeus and whatnot.

It is not unfamiliar to Loki's family. During the previous deep expeditions, they have "cleaned" it countless times.

He is quite experienced.

"Come to think of it, we made quite a bit of money from this weapons test."

As Grace prepared to greet everyone to set off, she sighed to herself.

Not only did they defeat the lone maze king on the 37th floor, but when they passed the 24th floor, they were lucky enough to encounter a pearl tree guarded by a green dragon. This is a very rare material and is worth a lot of money.

therefore.

This gave Grace an additional idea.

The older dwarf remembered that Ai'er had said before that in "emergency moments", these air combat machines still had the last means of combat.

That is to rush into the monster pile and self-destruct.

Although the compensation for each air combat machine is quite expensive, it costs tens of millions of pounds.

But after making a lot of money, Grace felt it necessary to test what the so-called "self-destruction" was like.

Especially the explosion range, it is best to have a rough estimate, otherwise it will be bad if an emergency occurs and it affects your own people.

The older dwarf seemed very thoughtful as he considered things.

So Grace decided.

On the way back, let's try it on the 16th floor of the dungeon - the guild has warned that it is not allowed to cause a large explosion below the middle level of the maze, which will excessively damage the structure of the maze itself.

This seems to be related to the tragedy that happened to the Astralia family on the 30th floor.

But 16 layers should be fine.

Moreover, an air combat machine would not cause much damage to the maze itself.

Also.

If the power of its explosion is really terrible, then we may have to prevent it from crashing in the deep.

At least, not a large number of them crashing at the same time.

This testing task was given to Tiona, Ais and others.

As the "commander" of this weapons test, Grace also needs to pack up the camp and luggage with other team members before setting off again.

So before that, let the LV5 cadres in the clan complete this final test first.

The task was quickly assigned.

Tiona happily said goodbye to her sister, and together with Ai Si, she called on two air combat machines and headed towards the 16th floor.

The two soon arrived at their destination.

The girl strolled among the crisscrossing rock walls. The terrain here was more complex than the upper level.

There are quite a lot of tunnels that interweave up and down.

For novice adventurers, it is easy to fall to the lower floors through the so-called "falling hole", which is quite dangerous.

But to the two LV5 adventurers, it was just like their own backyard.

The "attack order" was given to both air combat machines.

Under the machine gun fire, all the Minotaur that spawned along the way were killed instantly.

"It's too easy. The monsters on the upper floors are no match for me."

"Um……"

"Let's remember this first. If we can easily kill the Minotaur, then other high-level monsters will definitely be no problem!"

Just walked like that for a while.

Tiona and Ais decided to find a place to test the power of the so-called "self-destruction".

"I really don't want to give it up... I'll just use this broken one for testing."

Both air combat machines had been damaged in previous in-depth tests, and one of them was particularly badly damaged, with almost half of its body missing. Complex wires were exposed, and harsh electric lights would occasionally be emitted.

The fact that it still works normally is a miracle.

And just when the two were looking for the testing area.

Just right.

They encountered a group of adventurers who had suffered a "monster feast".

This is daily life in the dungeon.

After the 10th floor, this situation will occur from time to time. Monsters will suddenly refresh in large numbers and then start to hunt down adventurers in a targeted manner.

These people were obviously out of ammunition and food. When they met Diona and Ais, they immediately asked for help as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

And looking at the large groups of Minotaur in the distance.

The Amazon girl gave the "self-destruct" order without hesitation.

The robot flying in the air rushed towards the pile of monsters without hesitation.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, a red fireball and black smoke exploded at the same time, and a heat wave hit us in the face.

Dozens of Minotaur were instantly reduced to ashes, and more were covered by the burning fire, or had their arms and legs broken.

The power is really great, probably equivalent to several fire stones added together?

But the range was indeed not that large. At least, the self-detonation of an air combat machine could not stop the "Monster Feast". More Minotaurs crossed the sea of fire one after another, howling and rushing towards the crowd.

Ais quickly drew her [Sword of Despair].

"Wake up."

The super short chant ended in the blink of an eye.

A light green breeze floated around the blonde girl, and then she rushed towards the many minotaurs alone.

The killing was swift and violent.

For a top adventurer at LV5, killing these LV2 monsters is easier than crushing a chicken.

The result is……

Before Tiona could join in.

A large number of Minotaur immediately turned around and fled! !

And the direction of departure is exactly the exit on the upper level.

Done! !

The monster ran away in fear!!!

But if they were allowed to reach higher levels, wouldn't the other LV1 adventurers be in danger?!

Another unexpected situation occurred!

There was no time to return to Rivera for support.

Both Ais and Tiona immediately and quickly chased after the Minotaur, hoping to completely eliminate them before they escaped to the upper level.

But I kept killing monsters along the way.

The "Monster Feast" doesn't seem to be stopping at all.

As a result, more monsters, including orcs, hellhounds, etc., together with the Minotaur, all swarmed into the upper maze.

until...

Ais and Tiona chased to the 8th floor.

They learned from a frightened adventurer that the monsters that had fled here were all lured away by the villains who were performing the "Monster Gift".
