Sixty floors, the Valley of Ice.
The larva of the evil dragon lay on the ice, beneath which were countless pipes made of green flesh, connecting to six other filthy immortal spirits, constantly absorbing their power.
Therefore, it cannot move.
Even so, its threat level is extremely terrifying; its breath can snipe targets dozens of kilometers away!
Despite missing its target, the evil dragon did not stop.
The dragon's eyes locked onto Roy and Ais, who had reappeared on another ice cliff. The dragon turned its head, and another flame of destruction gathered wildly deep in its throat.
"Walk!"
Without any hesitation, Roy gripped Ais's soft wrist and initiated another top-down transfer.
A rather unexciting chase ensued.
Faced with the relentless destructive breath, Roy, with Ais, used spatial magic to teleport away, easily dodging each attack.
boom! boom! Boom!
The Nidhogg larva, which could only stay in place and absorb the energy of the immortals, spewed out destructive flames that bombarded every corner of the Ice Valley!
In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers was a mess, with huge charred craters everywhere, billowing thick smoke and a pungent smell.
The once steep ice wall was blasted to pieces, turning into countless ugly ice craters and traces of lava that had melted and solidified. Large areas of the thick ice layer collapsed and fractured, revealing the jagged rocks and abyss below.
The core area of the entire Ice Valley looked as if it had been repeatedly ravaged by a devastating meteor shower.
An atmosphere of destruction and death permeated the air!
Such terrifying breath, continuous and powerful enough to destroy any city in the world, didn't even touch Roy and Ais's clothes.
This is the terror of spatial magic.
A look of disbelief appeared on Ais's face as well. With such magic, she was practically invincible!
Roy gestured to Ais, "Kill it!"
If it were anyone else, they would be cursing Roy a million times in their hearts. How is sending a LV.5 to kill a LV.8 monster any different from sending someone to their death?
Ais showed no sign of confusion; her eyes were filled only with a surging killing intent towards the "dragon" monster.
"It's coming!" Roy placed his large hand on Aisqian's delicate shoulder, activated his magic, and spatial fluctuations appeared, engulfing the two of them once again.
call out!
The next instant, the two figures appeared behind the mountain-like body of the evil dragon Nidhogg.
This evil dragon's reaction speed is terrifying!
Just as Roy and Ais appeared and their figures solidified, the giant dragon head suddenly turned around!
Within that bottomless, gaping maw, dark red flames were gathering strength, ready to erupt and devour the two of them in an instant! The suffocating feeling of being locked in by death was enough to terrify any powerful individual!
"Sweep away!"
There was no fear in Ais's eyes.
The second, very short incantation of "Wind Spirit Run" is used to adjust the power of this spell.
As a second-generation fairy who inherited wind magic, Ais's mastery of wind magic is unparalleled in the world, second only to her late great fairy mother.
"A miniature gust of wind!"
The magical energy in the void responded frantically to her call, transforming into a roaring vortex of bluish-white wind that coiled around Ais's Sword of Despair. With a roar, she poured all her strength and will into it and resolutely thrust it head-on at the evil dragon!
The magic "Wind Spirit Rush," with its output power maximized, wraps the sword of despair with raging winds, concentrating them into a single point for an extremely powerful thrust.
Previously, when Loki's Familia attacked the tainted fairy clone on the 59th floor, Ais used this move to instantly kill the LV.7 tainted fairy clone.
But this time, the output was clearly not enough against the Nidhogg hatchling that had reached LV.8.
The destructive flames that had been gathering power deep within the evil dragon's throat were even more powerful and faster!
boom!!
The evil dragon spewed out a terrifying crimson flame that filled everyone with despair, carrying a terrifying aura that could crush everything and a high temperature that could burn everything, sweeping in.
Gale-force winds and raging flames are locked in a fierce battle!
But less than two seconds later, Ais's wind was defeated, and flames invaded, ruthlessly shattering the magical wind, and her face immediately turned extremely ugly.
The terrifying wave of flames was about to completely engulf Ais's tiny figure. The absolute difference in power made her feel a fatal danger, and her face turned pale.
At the critical moment!
Roy appeared in a flash, grabbed Ais, and unleashed a series of spells, distorting the surrounding space once more!
The fiery cannon fire grazed past the two figures as they vanished, shattering an entire ice cliff behind them and creating a path of destruction that stretched all the way to the edge of the building.
Roar!
Upon seeing this, the evil dragon unleashed an uncontrollable roar that echoed throughout the entire floor, reaching everyone on the battlefields and drawing astonished glances.
Roy and Ais were dealing with the seventh filthy fairy, making such a big commotion that everyone knew about it. What exactly did they do?
Only then could that evil dragon, defiling the immortal spirit, utter such a helpless and angry sound.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The evil dragon's head, as hard as iron, slammed violently and angrily onto the ground. It was unharmed, but it smashed large craters into the ice.
It got dodged again!
Roy's spatial magic bounced around it relentlessly, practically taunting it madly, igniting its instinctive rage.
If it were to catch that "ant," it would never let it die easily! The evil dragon's eyes were bloodshot and cruel, and heavy white breaths came out of its nostrils.
Not to mention the complex mental journey of the evil dragon.
Roy also wanted to kill the other party.
call out!
Spatial fluctuations appeared, and Roy and Ais's figures appeared on another ice cliff.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
As soon as she landed, Ais's legs went weak, and she knelt on the cold rock, breathing heavily. Her delicate, doll-like face was bloodless, her slender fingers gripped the sword hilt tightly, and her petite body trembled uncontrollably.
The terrifying feeling of narrowly escaping death lingered in Ais's nerve endings, leaving her with lingering fear.
"Can we continue?"
Roy could only calmly urge him on.
The color drained completely from Ais's face, and a hint of fear appeared on her face. She was going to die! That was a monster she couldn't possibly defeat!
"No, I can't do it!" Ais cried out in anguish.
Roy turned and left, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. As expected, he still had to take the stage himself.
With his setup, it's not impossible for him to deal with this evil dragon, but it would take a lot of time and effort. It would be best if Ais, with her dragon-specific attack, could take it down instantly. Since the opponent can't do that, then there's nothing he can do.
"Help me—"
Suddenly, Roy stopped in his tracks, not by his own initiative, but because a small hand grabbed the hem of his clothes, and he heard a girl's almost pleading voice in his ear.
Roy turned his head slightly and looked at Ais's pale face, which could not hide her fear, with crystal-clear tears welling up in her golden eyes.
It's likely that no one in Orario expected that this world-renowned adventurer, the famous "Sword Princess," would show such a vulnerable expression.
Beneath that strong, resolute, and natural exterior lies just an ordinary girl who admires heroes and longs for their protection.
Even though Ryu was once deeply mired in darkness, her heart was stronger than Ais's. If the two were to switch places, and Ais were to experience the destruction of her clan, she would be devastated instead of seeking revenge against the dark faction.
"Don't save them!"
Faced with the blonde beauty's almost humble plea, Roy's answer was only two words.
These two words seemed to transform into a heavy hammer, slamming into Ais's soul and plunging her into the abyss. She trembled, and all the light in her eyes vanished.
Feeling utterly powerless, feelings of despair, fear, and dread welled up within her.
At that moment, Finn, Riveria—everyone she knew flashed through Ais's mind like a revolving lantern, hoping that the other would save her.
But no matter how she called out in her heart, she never received any response, and her heart gradually became numb.
It wasn't until Ais noticed out of the corner of her eye that Roy was still standing there that her small hands gripped his clothes tightly, unable to let go.
Ais stared blankly at the boy in front of her.
Roy said calmly, "I won't save others; I'll only help them save themselves."
Roy's attitude is the same no matter who he is dealing with: it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. Instead of hoping for a hero to protect you, you should become a hero yourself!
"I'll ask you one more time, can we continue?"
Roy placed his large hand on the girl's small, cold hand that was gripping him, and based on her response, he would decide whether to hold her hand or pull it away.
The warmth from that large hand seemed to transfer to the girl, making her feel cozy and basking in the warm sunlight, giving her a glimmer of hope.
Ais's voice trembled, "Can you do it?"
Roy said, "The success rate might not be high, but if you don't try, it's zero!"
These words were like a raging flood, shattering the barriers of despair in Ais's heart. A glimmer of light returned to her eyes. "Yes, I will!"
Talk therapy was a success!
Roy held the girl's small hand tightly. "Watch closely. If you want to slay that black dragon soaring through the sky, this is a move you absolutely must learn!"
Ais's pupils dilated, could it be!
Afterglow!
Roy swung his other hand fiercely with the Elven Holy Sword, stacking the special effects of Blazing Flames and developing the ability "Domineering Strike," unleashing a condensed, fiery slash that struck the massive body of the evil dragon from afar.
Boom!
The power of this strike was terrifying! The black scales of the evil dragon, which were considered an absolute defense, were shattered into dust, and the scorching sword light mercilessly cut into the flesh, causing scalding dragon blood to gush out.
"Roar!" The evil dragon and the female fairy simultaneously let out a painful cry that tore through the clouds.
Ais's entire focus was fixed on Roy, following his every movement, every muscle tremor, and every trace of energy flow.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy, holding the blonde beauty's hand, activated a magical teleportation technique, leaping to the opposite direction of the evil dragon's breath. Without pausing, he swung his sword again!
Another strike combining "Burning Heaven Flames" and "Overlord's Strike"! Then, a shift in power! The third strike!
Transfer to a higher position! The fourth step!
The cycle repeated itself, the blows falling like rain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Arcs of fiery light continuously struck the evil dragon, tearing open hideous wounds and causing blood and flesh to splatter!
The evil dragon's painful and furious roars echoed continuously.
But in reality, it didn't have as much effect as expected. The hideous wounds on the evil dragon's body, even exposing its internal organs, were covered by a frenzied green light that surged wildly and grew at a visible speed, covering the wounds!
It continuously absorbs the power of the other six filthy immortal essences, and the green flesh transforms into its tissues, organs, and scales, as if it possesses an immortal body!
Unless you use an absolute, one-hit kill to completely eliminate the target, this level of damage is meaningless.
Even knowing this—
Roy's sword-wielding movements never stopped; his posture was as steady as a mountain. Every swing of the sword was a perfect demonstration, a display without reservation.
With each of Roy's slashes, Ais's golden eyes grew brighter!
She didn't just use her eyes to see; she used all her senses to capture every subtle flow and burst of the magical energy wrapped around the blade.
Every movement of Roy's, every twist and turn of his exertion, was like a clear imprint, deeply etched into the depths of her mind.
The technique of "Afterglow" was only known to Otto and Leon after the destruction of Zeus' and Hera's Families; none of the three leaders of Loki's Families could learn it.
Even if Ais wanted to learn, she couldn't find a way. Leon was traveling the world, and Otto was even less likely to teach her. Now, Roy had put it right in front of her.
Ais gradually forgot her fear and became completely absorbed in the activity, mimicking others and swinging her sword forward, only to find no reaction whatsoever.
But she persevered and did it again and again.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy showed leniency by constantly moving Ais around, buying her time to learn.
The energy fluctuations within the evil dragon's body grew increasingly violent, causing ripples in the space. There wasn't much time left before it finished absorbing the energy and destroyed the entire floor.
Roy, with his intuition, stared at the other party, entering a state of precognition. As soon as the evil dragon showed any signs of exploding, he would use his LV.9 experience card to instantly kill the other party.
Before that, we need to look at the girl next to us.
Time slowly passed, and Roy already had the LV.9 trial card in his hand.
Finally, in Ais's mind, it was as if an invisible mirror that had been blocking her view suddenly shattered! The barrier of cognition was broken, the tangled fog was dispelled, and an invisible light connected everything!
All doubts and hesitations vanished in that moment; she finally saw things clearly!
It is no longer a clumsy imitation, but a clear capture of the essence of the skill, taming the magic into a blade and focusing the will on the edge of the sword!
"I see!"
A very soft murmur escaped from her lips.
In those golden eyes, all the light of confusion and searching vanished, replaced by calm and understanding, as if she had firmly grasped all the clues to the workings of the world.
From a physical point of view, this is indeed the case.
Unconsciously, Ais tightly gripped the large, warm hand of the boy beside her, their fingers intertwined, as if it were the source of her strength.
"Awaken (Tempest)!"
Ais sang softly, not the previous blue gale, but a brand new pitch-black storm!
A dark, raging wind, deeper than the night and more profound than the void, like a world-destroying beast breaking free of its shackles, converged wildly from all directions, coiling around the slender blade of the Sword of Despair!
This power is too terrifying and too domineering!
Even this first-level weapon, which possessed the attribute of being "indestructible," emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
Click!
The clear, piercing cracking sound was still terrifying amidst the howling wind; fine cracks crawled menacingly all over the blade! The sword trembled violently, as if it would shatter completely at any moment!
Strictly speaking, this is not magic, but a phenomenon caused by the resonance between the magic "Wind Spirit Swiftness" and the skill "Revenge Princess". The output breaks through the limit and is not as simple as one plus one.
Ais suddenly clenched her fists!
She called out to her beloved sword in her eyes, "Hold on! Just a little longer!"
The black storm condensed on the rapier to an unprecedented extreme, and the surrounding space groaned in the face of this terrifying, yet restrained, power.
"Drink!"
Ais's eyes flashed with golden light as she let out a roar of all her might, her arm wielding the rapier that carried the power of destruction as she swung it forward fiercely!
Swish!
A terrifyingly black slash detached from the blade, and wherever it passed, space seemed to be erased and light was completely swallowed up!
The massive, mountain-like body of the filthy immortal dragon was struck by this pitch-black slash the instant it came into contact with it.
The indestructible scales, the terrifying regenerating flesh, the enormous bones—all of it was cleaved apart by a black storm that transformed into countless sharp blades.
Wind Spirit Sprint + Vengeful Princess + Lingering Light, power reaches LV.9, directly spanning four levels!
The one who contributed the most was naturally the "Revenge Princess"!
When facing monsters, your own damage is greatly increased. If the target is still a dragon, the damage is further increased by an extremely high amount. In addition, with an appearance somewhat similar to a black dragon, the buff can be stacked up to the maximum!
"Arya!!"
The evil dragon struggled in its death throes, spewing forth raging flames, but the cannon fire was cleaved and torn apart, and the filthy fairy spirit at the bow's mouth let out a desperate cry.
Rumble!!
The pitch-black slash cleaved the evil dragon in two, its momentum undiminished, before crashing heavily onto the icy plain!
A deafening roar erupted, and the hard permafrost and millennia-old ice layers were neatly sliced apart like fragile tofu before this strike!
A massive, bottomless, mirror-smooth crack, tens of meters wide, was spreading wildly forward at an unimaginable speed!
The distance of several kilometers is covered in the blink of an eye!
This hideous scar on the icy plain is like an abyss cleaved open by the Well God with his giant axe!
Almost simultaneously, a fiery slash swept across, landing precisely on the wounded Evil Dragon Bow, shattering the magic stone and the filthy immortal essence.
"call!"
The sword strike that destroyed the well and ravaged the earth seemed to drain all of the woman's physical and mental strength.
The color drained from Ais's delicate, doll-like face, leaving only a painful pallor. Her thick, golden eyelashes drooped heavily like broken-winged butterflies. The sharpness and fighting spirit in her eyes were replaced by deep weariness. As if losing consciousness, her body collapsed into that warm and firm embrace.
Even as her consciousness faded and her body was no longer under her control, her cold, slender fingers stubbornly clenched between Roy's warm fingers.
Their fingers were intertwined, their knuckles touching.
A barely perceptible, calm smile appeared at the corner of her pale lips; she had become a "hero"!
Roy caught her steadily in his arms, looked down at the sleeping woman's profile in his arms, and felt the cold, persistent strength between her fingers.
"well done!"
Roy spoke in a low, gentle voice.
In fact, the heads of the evil dragon Nidhogg and the filthy fairy were not taken by the blonde Mel woman in his arms, but by Roy taking advantage of the situation to behead them.
Holding a girl in his arms, Li Li is sure to win her over!
[Congratulations on successfully hunting down "Fallen Fairy Nidhogg"! You have obtained 500 attribute points, a Dungeon Eye (fragmented), Fairy Flesh and Blood, and Dragon Bones!]
