A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

Without even turning her head, Tiona threw the indestructible greatsword behind her. The Lv.4 human female member, who served as the vanguard supporter, threw the large double blades over tacitly.

"¨～ Drink aaaaaa——!"

Diona ran past Bert and rushed into the army of more than 20 monsters. She put all her strength into it and performed a spinning slash.

The heavy weapon made of the super-hard metal "Steel" spun like a top, chopping all the monsters in its path into two.

At this moment, a noise completely different from the approach of other monsters came from the front.

That dense rustling sound that was unique to arthropod monsters—

"——Here it comes, it's a new species!"

The yellow-green mass flooded the entire wide passage.

Finn's eyes flashed, and he quickly shouted out urgent instructions -

"Change formation!! Diona, retreat!"

Serven and Ace rushed out of the center back position in perfect harmony and switched positions with Tiona and Bert.

"Wake up." Ai Si said, and strong wind wrapped around the sharp blade.

Serven had already rushed forward, and with a flick of his sword, the two larva monsters turned into flying dust.

"Ooooh! Ooooh!" The larvae leaned back at the same time in tacit understanding, and used the elastic force to spray corrosive liquid forward.

"Wind Barrier." Serven drew a wind barrier to keep all the corrosive liquids out.

"The closed light, the frozen earth. The snow blowing all over the sky, the three severe winters - my name is Alver!!"

"Everyone move away!" Finn shouted.

The vanguard and center guard immediately retreated to the left and right, and the troops formed a gun-mound formation.

"【Ecstasy Fimbulwinter】!"

The silver staff that Livilia held high emitted flashes of ice and snow, and three blizzards rushed along the passage.

The new type of monster, along with other monsters that were affected, were all frozen into countless ice sculptures, stretching to the farthest end, all turning into a world of ice.

Judging from Livilia's relaxed look, it was obvious that she had not yet exerted her full strength.

"As expected of you, Livilia. I wish my "Magic Sword" could have such power someday."

"If that were the case, we wizards would lose face."

Everyone smashed all the monster ice sculptures while speeding along the passage.

Finally we arrived at the entrance to the 52nd floor below.

"From here on, we may not have a chance to resupply."

Facing the long, wide staircase leading to the 52nd floor, Finn turned around and looked at everyone in the team.

Lefiya swallowed and clenched the wand in her hand.

"Once we step into the tunnel, we will have no way back and can only move forward."

Everyone's expressions tensed at the same time.

Only Tsubaki, the only member who did not belong to the [Loki Familia], looked at everyone so nervous and showed a suspicious expression.

"Finally, on the following floors, you must try to avoid fighting and save energy. Reach the 58th floor in one breath. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"--let's go!"

At the connecting passage between the 51st and 52nd floors, the special attack team only had a brief replenishment.

After quickly adjusting their status, they rushed forward again and rushed into the passage, officially entering the 52nd floor of the underground maze.

In the lead-black maze that was exactly the same as the 51st floor, everyone continued running at a much faster speed than before.

There is an indescribable sense of tension——

The frequency of monsters appearing and the number of encounters remained the same, but because the adventurer team was unwilling to engage in battle and focused on running at full speed, the monsters that surrounded them were left behind. Only those unlucky ones who appeared on the path and blocked the way were killed.

"Ah! Item Drop."

Tsubaki still didn't quite understand the situation. When she saw some valuable weapon materials appear, her eyes lit up and she was about to pick them up, but Raul grabbed her 780 arm as she was about to leave the team.

“You can’t stop.”

"Hmm? Why?" Tsubaki could only give up the "dropped item" and continue to run with the team, asking Raul. It was her first time in this area called "Hell" by Raul and other supporters, and she had no idea what was going on.

Before the expedition, Finn and his team had already done some science education for Serven and his team in the [Twilight Pavilion]. This was the advantage of a powerful exploration clan like the [Loki Familia].

"We will be sniped." Raul's forehead was covered with sweat and his eyes were filled with fear as he answered Chun's question.

"...Sniper?"

Tsubaki found it a little unbelievable, and glanced at the maze where the scenery was changing rapidly——

The usual faint phosphorescence, the various forks and caves common in a maze, and the group of monsters trying to approach them, but there was no suspicious shadow that wanted to snipe at them.

What on earth is going on? When Tsubaki was about to ask, she suddenly noticed something.

Unlike before on the 51st floor, there was little conversation now. Everyone held their breath and just stomped their feet forward fiercely, leaving the roar of the monster behind them.

Not only Raul, but also the other companions including Lefiya and Alicia, all turned pale to varying degrees because of a sense of crisis that enveloped their entire bodies and minds, and they ran after the first-level adventurers like crazy.

"Don't drag your feet!" Even Grace, who was running at the back, urged.

Afterwards, the feeling of incompatibility became more and more obvious, and Tsubaki finally sensed the trembling aura that made even this Lv.5 adventurer feel creepy.

It was an ominous, ferocious roar that seemed to rise from the ground.

“…What’s that roar…?”

"--The roar from the king of monsters, the dragon." Serven said the second half of what Tsubaki wanted to say with steady breathing.

The roar of the King of Monsters shook the eardrums, but there was no trace of the enemy in sight.

"Underground..." Serven only said a few words, then turned to look at Finn and reminded him, "Finn..."

"Yes." The leader of the Dwarf Tribe nodded, "——It's been locked."

"Run. Run. Keep speeding up!" Finn gave the order to continue speeding up.

In fact, he didn't even need to urge them, as everyone had already heard the conversation between Severn and Finn. Knowing that danger was approaching, they had already quickened their pace.

A monster blocked the road again in front of him, and the vanguard desperately beat the monster away.

"Don't worry about it. As long as you can run, we will take care of the monsters."

"clear!"

As time went by, the howling of the Monster King never stopped. Lefiya's breathing in the team began to become rapid. It was obvious that her physical strength was consumed too quickly under the huge psychological pressure.

With the flashing swords of Serven and Aisi, they cut off more than a dozen deformed spiders and black rhinos. The two of them did not get entangled with the group of monsters for too long, and quickly chased after the team that had run a little further away by about ten meters.

at this time--

"Here we come——" Severn and Ais stopped at the same time and went into the fork in the road beside them.

"Bert, Tiona, change direction!!" Finn immediately gave instructions, and the vanguard and the center backs behind all ran out of the regular route and rushed into the fork.

The next moment——

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!”

The floor of the dungeon was ruthlessly lifted up and exploded.

The raging flames gushed out upwards, followed by a red lotus-like shock wave!

The flames came out from the ground and rushed straight to the sky.

The scorching heat seemed to have distorted the space of the maze. The raging flames engulfed and evaporated the nearby monsters. The floors of the buildings were covered in fiery red flames. The scorching color dyed the eye mask worn by Tsubaki, Finn's profile, and even Grace's battle axe red.

Tsubaki opened her right eye wide. Facing such an unimaginable large-scale fire explosion, the screams of Lefiya and the others were forced back into their throats, and there was complete silence.

"Keep running! Take a detour, the western route!"

Serven held Aisi and jumped over the burning hole. The hole was full of distorted air waves. He could vaguely see several layers of large holes and the floor.

They caught up with the adventurer team, ran out of the most commonly used regular route, and continued to run at full speed in the wide passages within the maze.

Soon, a terrifying aura that made people's scalps tingle once again enveloped everyone, and the ground began to tremble again -

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!”

A huge fireball like a red lotus broke through the ground and went straight through the ceiling above. A big hole was blown in the floor of the 52nd floor. The bedrock collapsed downward with a loud noise. Hot wind and sparks rushed towards Severn, Ais and others.

Then, the monster king that had successfully locked onto the adventurer continued to attack, with huge fireballs chasing the adventurer's heels, and the raging "bombardment" continued to burst out again and again -

“Boom——” “Boom——”…

The formation of the entire special agent team was on the verge of collapse. Everyone, including the first-level adventurers, was concentrating on escaping.

The terrible roar of the dragon chased their ears closely -

"Hey, this is never going to end! Are we going to keep running like this all the way to the 58th floor?" Tsubaki couldn't help but complain.

"Don't get distracted, keep running!"

"Boom——!"

Another cannonball from close range blew the floor apart, turning it into a pillar of flame that gushed out. The adventurers' heartbeats involuntarily accelerated.

Lefiya's breathing was already disordered due to running at full speed. Her heart deep in her chest was beating at an alarming speed, and the panic that was constantly increasing was about to burst out of her throat.

At this moment, she saw the deformed spider hiding in the darkness open its mouth and launch a sneak attack -

"Mr. Raul, be careful!!"

"Boom——!"

The floor was blown up again, and a huge column of fire rushed straight to the ceiling. Raul was also caught in the web of the deformed spider. When he was about to be taken away by the web, Serven's slash cut the spider in two. Raul fell down with the softened web, and the gushing column of fire was right in front of him. He was just a little bit away from being roasted!

"Puff puff"

Several sticky and terrifying spider webs entangled from other blind spots—

“Alicia——!” Just as Lefiya was about to push Alicia away, her arm was entangled first, and she was carried into the air as the spider web retracted!

At the same time, old man Grace used his battle axe to block a spider web, but Alicia was also lifted into the air by the spider web.

Serven cut the spider web with a slash, but before he could go to rescue her, another huge pillar of fire flew out and directly swallowed Alicia—

Both Elf Mages fell into the huge floor hole created by the two shells! !

"Lefiya!" "Alicia!" everyone shouted in unison.

Serven jumped directly into the hole, followed by Diona and Dione.

"【Gauze Breath】!" Livilia opened her mouth, and her mellow voice chanted out additional magic.

The warm green robes enveloped the fallen Lefiya and Alysia, as well as the chasing Seven, Tiona, and Tione.

Aisi bent her legs slightly, preparing to jump down as well—

"Ais, don't go!" Finn immediately spoke up to stop Ais.

Facing Ai Si's puzzled look, Finn stated calmly, "We still have Tsubaki and Raul here, and the rest of us still need you to fight the new species. I'll ask Grace to go down and help, there won't be any problems over there. So we just need to take the regular route to the 58th floor and meet up with them."

Aisi's expression was a little bitter, but she nodded anyway.

Finn turned to look at Grace at the back of the team, and Grace laughed, "Don't worry, I will protect these rookies!"

"Well, I leave it to you!"

Grace also jumped down without hesitation.

[Underground City, Super Deep]

In a cave room in an unknown dungeon, the roar of a monster resounded.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
