Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

But only those who are familiar with Ais know that this answer is the girl's proof of closeness.

"So, kid, you are always so careless and rush forward without thinking. You will eventually learn a lesson."

Livilia looked at Ais with a rather helpless look, "It is because of your constant attitude that Loki is worried about you going into the dungeon alone."

"I know the twelfth floor poses no threat to you, but magic is beginning to exist here after all. If something unusual happens and you get hit, you'll inevitably get into trouble. You can salvage yourself in this middle level, but when it comes to the expedition, can you still do that?"

"I know……"

Hearing this, Ai Si also lowered her head and answered softly, but her expression was still a little disappointed.

"Is that child that good? Although it is normal for the heroes selected by the immortals to be strong, I am also a little curious to be able to defeat you at the first meeting."

Of course, Livilia knew the reason for Ais's condition. She had complained about the frivolous Lord God for a long time yesterday, so she took Ais on a casual mission to relax in the dungeon early this morning.

"He is...strong. As strong as a hero."

Aisi, who is not good at speaking, recalled the figure from yesterday with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Like a hero..."

Livilia repeated the word, and was somewhat moved. As the princess of the elves, she knew as much secrets and history as many gods. She also had some vague guesses about Ais's life experience, and she was very clear about the weight of this word.

"If possible, I would like to meet him."

With these words, the two of them officially stepped into the thirteenth floor. Then, before they could vigilantly greet the monsters that might be hiding in the cave, waves of horrifying roars continued to come along the walls.

"boom--!!!"

As if something had exploded, a powerful vibration came from the depths of the cave.

"Someone is fighting..."

Ais pulled out the sword blade and looked in the direction of the sound.

"There shouldn't be such a big commotion on the thirteenth floor. Let's go take a look. It might be related to our mission this time."

Livilia also frowned and walked towards the place where the sound came from with Ais.

The closer they got, the more they could sense something unusual was happening. On this short road, not only was there no monster appearing, but the horrifying roar also showed no sign of stopping.

Finally, when they arrived at the next open cave, even Ai Si, who was rushing ahead, stopped and looked at the scene in front of her, falling into a state of astonishment.

In this shaking cave, the source of the chaos is the army of hellhounds.

"What happened in the dungeon?"

The expression on Livilia's face suddenly became serious.

The hellhound is the iconic monster of this layer. Its fire-breathing magic is the symbolic difference between it and the monsters on the upper layers. Many adventurers have died here because they were unprepared.

But in Livillia's impression, these monsters were not what they look like now.

It was the size of a calf, with a violently twisted face, scarlet eyes flashing constantly, and sharp claws deeply hooked.

They landed on all fours without even needing to accumulate strength, and rushed out as swiftly as cheetahs.

More hellhounds stood on the periphery of the army, opened their mouths wide, and let the scorching flames condense inside, turning into flames that spewed out.

With a number of over a hundred and their unusual posture, even for the two senior adventurers of Loki's clan to deal with them, it would be a tough battle in which they could get seriously injured if they were not careful.

But at this moment, Livilia didn't even have the time to complain that she didn't bring equipment like the Fairy Spirit Armor. She just stared blankly at the monster army that was constantly retreating in front of her.

And the young man holding the holy sword and laughing wildly.

"It's useless, useless, useless, useless, useless!"

The young man with black hair and red eyes danced gracefully and lightly, harvesting the lives of monsters in the army of hellhounds as if he was strolling in the garden. There was no unnecessary movement, as if every step had been calculated. He used a subtle angle that would make people applaud, and brushed past the attacking hellhounds, causing those monsters to let out fierce and violent roars.

Huge hellhounds kept pouncing on Roland, but whenever they were unavoidable, the silver holy sword would flash by and cut the hellhound's body in two.

For a moment, Livilia could only see a sword light flashing back and forth among the hellhounds. Every flash was accompanied by wailing sounds and corpses being cut off in response.

This fighting style made Livilia look at Ais beside her.

"Dancing... It's like dancing."

As if she didn't notice Livilia's gaze, Ais watched Roland's actions in fascination.

Every swing of the blade harvests lives, and every movement seems better than the one before.

Ais already understood what Roland meant that day. Compared with Roland now, her fighting method was inferior.

The gorgeous and perfect combination of strength and technology in front of her eyes is the truth of the swordsmanship she saw when she was young.

A dangerous yet fascinating sword dance.

She watched Roland's every move intently, eager to learn something from it. Her clear pupils widened slightly, and a different emotion emerged.

"Roland..."

"I see, he is the hero..."

Livilia also showed an expression of admiration: "Among Loki's family, I'm afraid no one can be stronger than him. Even that fierce warrior Freya can't fight so easily."

Before Livilia could finish her words, the situation on the scene changed again.

After Roland killed hundreds of close combat hellhounds in less than ten seconds, the remaining hellhounds did not continue to rush forward, but instead let balls of brilliant fire illuminate the entire cave. Countless fireballs gathered in front of Roland, bursting with dazzling light.

"Boom——!!!"

But Roland just looked at these scorching flames with amazing impact with indifferent eyes, gently raised the holy sword in his hand, slowly poured magic power into it, and a magnificent sword light was cut out by him, rushing straight towards the hellhounds that released the fireballs in a half-moon-like posture.

The next moment, the howling gale turned into a physical impact, blowing away everything around. In the dazzling sword light, the flame was directly cut in half. The fierce flames shot out in all directions and sprinkled in the space, as if to vent the energy within.

"not good--!"

The sudden violent force caused Riveria's expression to change. She subconsciously raised her wand and was about to chant the magic of protection, but the expression on her face was soon replaced by surprise and uncertainty.

"Why, there was no explosion?"

The radiant flames seemed to be forcibly interrupted. After burning unwillingly, they went out directly. The hellhound's magic had already taken shape and been released. This situation could only mean one thing.

"Did the sword remove the magic?"

Livilia's smile suddenly became forced. The holy sword that could directly cut off magic was an irresistible nemesis for magicians like them.

She once had a glorious record of wiping out an entire city with magic, but in front of this hero holding the holy sword, she was just a powerless mortal.

"The magic has been lifted..."

Aisi stared at the magnificent sword light in a daze. After cutting off the fireball, it did not stop, but instead took in all the hellhounds in one breath.

They no longer had the strength to even roar, and fell to the ground one after another, leaving behind a pile of magic stones and smoke.

In the blink of an eye, the previously powerful army of monsters was reduced to ashes by this attack. Only the figure standing in the center of the cave, with a sense of holiness and security under the light of the holy sword, remained standing.

Looking at his masterpiece, Roland smiled with satisfaction.

"The possibilities of sword skills have almost been explored. According to this progress, soon this power will truly belong to me."

While fighting the hellhound, Roland could clearly feel that under the instinct of his body, his possibilities were constantly evolving, from adaptation to gradual leaps. His powerful body was becoming more and more proficient in receiving and processing surrounding information, allowing Roland to gradually learn and know how to use his own strength to fight.

Until the talismans, substitutes, and magic energy can maintain that power easily even in normal conditions.

He just needed to work hard, and his body and consciousness would spontaneously understand and manipulate the power. The sword light he had just emitted was exactly the same as the one he had used to demonstrate to Ai Si that day in terms of magical power, but at this moment it killed hundreds of hellhounds with one strike, and its efficiency had increased by more than several times.

Thinking of this, Roland slowly raised his head and looked at the dazed Livilia and the serious Ais.

"Hello, Ais, and Miss Livilia, nice to see you again."

"Should I say it's an honor for me to have my name remembered by the legendary sword hero?"

When Roland's eyes fell on her, Livilia instinctively felt trembling and creepy. This was not because of her weak will, but from her body's instinct, as if she, as the princess of the elves, was just a delicious piece of bread in front of Roland.

Faced with a being that could take her life at any time, her survival instinct made her quickly move away from Roland, but Livilia suppressed her uneasiness and gave a sophisticated answer.

"Roland, you are so powerful."

Ai Si looked at Roland steadily and said seriously.

"Why are you so strong?"

"Ais!"

Livilia scolded sternly. In Orario, everyone's skills and magic are secret. If they are spied on by others, there is no way to complain even if you are killed. Although Ais is a bit natural, it is okay to do this to her companions, but it is too rude to others.

Roland felt a little strange being praised by a girl who was better than him in skills yesterday.

"It doesn't matter. I have nothing to hide anyway. Although it may sound a bit boastful, this body was born with this power. I just learned it a little faster than others."

There is really nothing to brag about in this regard. His record of crushing the two men in a row yesterday was certainly dazzling, but to be frank, it was just like competing in strength with a centenarian or comparing skills with a primitive man. Even he himself felt that it was a bit despicable.

"Born this way... a born hero,"

Ai Si murmured Roland's words, and just as she was about to say something else, her eyes changed.

"careful!"

At some point, a new hellhound had emerged from the shadow wall, and without hesitation, it spit out a scorching fireball at Roland!

Although it was just an ordinary magic, an ordinary low-level adventurer would be blown into pieces if hit by it, and a first-line strongman like Aisi would be in trouble if he was caught off guard.

But Roland didn't even turn his head. In front of the astonished eyes of the two men, he stretched out his free hand towards the fireball, causing the violent heat wave to explode and dissipate in the palm of his hand.

"Such a weak flame,"

Roland glanced at the hellhound with disdain, casually swung his sword to kill it, and shook the hand that caught the fireball. After the smoke dissipated, it was still white, without any scars or even signs of turning red.

After doing all this, he seemed to realize how shocking his actions were, and gave an embarrassed smile to the stunned Livilia.

"Anyway, that's it.

——The human body is amazing, isn’t it? "

Chapter 124 The Magical Use of Spells and Experience Points

Facing Roland who crushed magic with his bare hands and remained unscathed, could Livilia still raise any doubts?

She could only nod silently with a stiff face, as a sign of her acknowledgment.

This is too outrageous. Her familiar companion, Finn, who is also at level 6, has many ways to deal with this kind of low-level magic without getting hurt, but this is different from taking direct action.

Aisi, who was watching this scene silently, was suddenly enlightened. However, in order to prevent Aisi from saying anything inappropriate, Livilia took the initiative to take over the topic.

"With your ability, the twelfth floor shouldn't be a problem for you, right? Why don't you continue going down?"

"It's the first day in the dungeon, so I have to find out some things first..." Roland certainly couldn't explain his experiment to Livilia's doubts, so he just brushed it off.

"Besides, isn't this the anomaly I encountered? Normal hellhounds shouldn't have this number and strength. An average level 5 would probably stumble when faced with this kind of situation."

"Indeed, I didn't expect the changes in the dungeon to be so fast. Has it reached the thirteenth floor? It shouldn't be this fast. The speed feels a bit abnormal..."

Livilia pondered for a while and frowned, but her words quickly piqued Roland's interest.

"The changes in the dungeon?"

"Although the guild asked us not to publicize it, there is no need to keep it secret for a strong man like you."

Seeing Roland's interest, Livilia didn't intend to keep him in suspense.

"Since the last expedition, we have discovered some unusual situations. The monsters in the deep layer have begun to actively move towards the upper layers. And this is not an isolated case. Instead, a whole layer of monsters are moving upstream."

It is rare for monsters to go to levels that do not belong to them, but it does happen. Although the IQ of monster groups is not high, they still retain many habits of wild beasts. When they exist in groups, they will flee if the battle situation is unfavorable. When they discover the passage of the dungeon in a panic, they will reach a place with lower strength, causing a disaster for newcomers who are leveling up.

But this number is limited, which is fundamentally different from a whole layer of monsters flowing upstream. This situation is just like the beast tide in the past. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a disaster for the entire human race.

"Which floor did you start from?"

Roland's tone suddenly became serious.

"The 58th floor. Judging from the number, we think it may have started from the deeper layers that have not been explored yet. Recently, the monsters in the deeper layers have begun to migrate upwards layer by layer. According to the expected speed, it will soon spread to the lower layers. Even now, some scattered monsters may have been wandering in the lower layers."

Livilia's voice was also a little heavy. If the monsters really spread, the whole of Orario would be severely hit. If things go wrong, it might be another disaster that sweeps the world.

"The guild was also very anxious about this situation. We could only send high-level adventurers to check the progress of the monsters from a distance. Fortunately, they were migrating layer by layer, which gave us some breathing space."

“But we can’t keep it secret for long. When the monsters officially enter the upper layer, the news will probably be fully announced. Before that, our clan will probably conduct another expedition to confirm the situation in the deeper layer.

Livilia frankly told the plan of Loki's family, but did not reveal the idea of ​​inviting Roland. After all, the deep expedition is a real adventure. Compared with strength, the importance of running-in should not be underestimated. Although Roland is powerful, he is still a newcomer in the exploration of dungeons.

"I see. Let's have a good chat next time. I'll take my leave today."

Although it sounded like Qi Ling was behind this, Roland did not abruptly ask to join in. He had a lot of things to do next. Regardless of whether Qi Ling was the one behind this unusual incident, it would not affect his original plan.

"Then we'll leave first."
