The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

They are all perpendicular to the surrounding flat rock walls and have a uniform shape, with rectangular stone pillars of varying heights passing by.

Behind him, there were the noisy and crazy roars of monsters.

Finn glanced back, looked at the monsters chasing after him, and quickly issued the next order.

"Ais! Go left next!"

"You are responsible for opening the way! Please go forward, please!"

"Ah."

The taciturn girl responded and accepted the task that was exclusive to her.

Her feet sped up, and Ais, who was running in front of Finn, was surrounded by a blue breeze and chopped down the monsters blocking the road one by one.

Recalling the sword skills wielded by the young man during the expedition, Ais's eyes were extremely clear.

"Finn! Ace..."

Finn, who was paying attention in other directions when he heard Riveria speaking, turned his gaze back to the front.

"This sword skill..."

"I see..."

Finn, who was following the girl and holding two guns, looked at Ace's sensitive sword skills and couldn't help but put a wry smile on his face.

How could he, who was responsible for coordinating and directing, fail to identify the hand of such a distinctive sword skill?

This princess of his family is stealing a lesson!

Every blow and slash had a hint of that boy's shadow, and the girl was rapidly absorbing more advanced experience points.

Yes, he could see that Aisi was going through 'growth' now.

Just as Finn suspected.

Ais, who was embarrassed to check other people's abilities, found something different after focusing all her attention on the other person.

It was as if the opponent was used to fighting monsters that were larger than him, unlike the adventurer who relied on force, ability points, and magic to fight monsters.

That person's sword has a distinctive and more mature 'skill' attached to it.

(Ais is very talented in swordsmanship, but she has been immersed in the maze since she was eight or nine years old. Coupled with the girl's character of hating monsters and her attributes that are incompatible with the surrounding environment and adventurers, the girl's early growth process can be described as worrying. , either killing monsters or on the way to kill monsters.)

(Also, Aisi seems to have never killed a human being, while the protagonist is open to anyone who comes and learns whatever is useful to her, so it is normal for Aisi to notice Tazmi's swordsmanship habits.)

After several days of observation, Ais couldn't help but recall Tazmina's fighting style that was completely different from others.

That is a more beautiful sword skill. Just like her father before, the girl can be so sure of her own thoughts.

In her mind, Tazmi's figure gradually overlapped with her father's back. As soon as she thought of this, Aisi's sword dance became more precise and fierce.

Now, with Aisi's path open to the vanguard, Finn could also start to sort out the map information about the floors in his mind.

After telling Ais to run to the right, then turn left, and then go straight forward to reach the Dragon Pot on the 58th floor, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the group of people moved quickly and soon reached the passage to the next level.

However, looking at the "larvae" that blocked the entrance of the cave, Finn shook his head helplessly.

"It seems things aren't going well down there either..."

"But we finally reunited."

"Ais!"

"'Sweep it'!"

Hearing Finn's cry, Ais raised her lightsaber, letting the magic power and breeze in her body gather on the lightsaber, and then blasted forward like a cannon.

There was a bang, and he looked at the straight dark stairs leading to the next level. After listening to the roar of the monster and the war cry of Grace and others, Finn gave instructions to the being behind him.

"Riveria, please follow me!"

Without answering Finn's words, the elf royal family with long green hair was concentrating on condensing magic power.

Wearing an elegant green robe, an elf royal girl with an appearance that could rival the gods ran at the end of the team.

Her long green hair swayed back and forth behind her as she ran. Riveria, who was almost reaching the exit and could already see the red glow, opened her tender lips.

"The harbinger of the end, the white snow."

Calmly, with emerald-like green pupils, she stared down without wavering. Maintaining the 'heart of the big tree' (similar to a state of not being alarmed when dealing with things), she raised the wand in her hand and chanted Magic spell.

"In the face of dusk, turn up the strong wind."

As soon as the words fell, a blue magic circle began to extend from Riveria's feet to the distance, as if there was no end, straight to the next floor. (Riveria's magic circle can detect enemies and avoid friendly forces.)

"The closed light, the frozen earth."

"It's snowing all over the sky, and it's been three severe winters."

"——My name is Alf."

Suddenly, an extremely cold air surged from the ground and spread into the distance along with the magic circle.

"Ecstasy Finbulwinter!"

Like a snowstorm coming, the cold wind blowing from the entrance of the cave covered the bodies of all the monsters in the dragon pot with a layer of white ice crystals.

As the ice crystals condensed faster and faster, all the monsters' bodies were frozen into huge ice sculptures in just a few seconds.

Seeing the reinforcements arriving and fighting for a long time, Burt, the Amazon sisters and others, who were breathing heavily, also let go of their hands and feet, killing the monsters that had no ability to attack.

It took about thirty minutes to clean up. After destroying part of the dungeon, everyone could finally take a short rest.

"Let's treat the little devils first..."

"I'm fine..."

The dwarf, who was in tatters and covered with burn marks, looked at Riveria walking towards him and said.

After providing emergency treatment to everyone, Raul and others, who were responsible for acting as supporters, took out potions for restoring physical strength and magic power from their backpacks.

While a group of people were replying, a certain person couldn't bear the restlessness in his body and walked back and forth in the "Dragon Pot".

"Ohhh!! Are these the fangs and scales of the dragon that used that ridiculous bombardment?"

Lifting up a scale larger than her head, Chun said happily, and then she saw other materials in the pile of monster corpses on the ground.

"It even has the wings of a flying dragon!"

"This guy's wing membrane should be a good thing!"

"Oh oh oh! There's one over there too!"

"Please let me take it back..."

"Let's talk about it on the way back..."

It should be said that he is worthy of being a blacksmith. This kind of physical strength is really unmatched.

Seeing Chun's energetic appearance, Riveria, who was already very tired after running all the way, said helplessly.

"There are so many things that I can't finish them all..."

"That's it."

Hearing the unbelievably beautiful elf royal family Riveria speak, Chun obediently put down the material in his hand.

Chapter 296 Witness the horror

Chun's reluctant look caught Fenn's eyes, and when he saw this, he felt a little troubled by the other person's careless temperament.

"Tsubaki, I'm sorry, let's talk about things later."

"Next, I need your help to maintain everyone's equipment. Please."

"Oh! Don't worry, leave it to me!"

After hearing what Finn said, Chun quickly took out a set of tools for forging from the package he carried with him and began to maintain everyone's equipment.

"Everyone...do you want something to eat..."

The group of people sat on the floor and began to rest directly at the entrance of this floor, which was just around the corner.

Seeing this, Ais took out the portable food given to her by the dog-man Luluni from the package she carried with her, and distributed it to everyone.

After running (fighting) for a while, I finally have a chance to breathe.

Just when a few people started to rest, Finn squinted at the huge entrance and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's wrong? Leader..."

The thinking look of the leader of the small human race did not escape everyone's attention. After hearing Diona's question, Finn licked his thumb and spoke solemnly.

"According to the records of the 'Zeus Familia'... starting from the fifty-ninth floor is the 'Glacier Realm'..."

At this point, Raul, who was responsible for taking over the command, accepted Finn's words and stood up in a panic.

"Yes, yes... It is said that there are flowing ice streams everywhere, and there are only a few places to stand on."

"And the huge amount of cold air will make the body sluggish, which is very dangerous."

"The Fire Essence Protective Cloth has been prepared. Although part of it was borrowed from other dependents, we managed to get enough for everyone..."

After finishing his words, Raul took out the bright red coat from the huge backpack he carried with him.

This fire spirit cloth can protect adventurers from cold air, and can also be used as armor to withstand ice attribute attacks. It can be said to be a high-end prop specially made for a certain attribute.

Glancing at the protective cloth in Raul's hand with his peripheral vision, Finn did not continue, but continued with his slender spear.

"A terrifying air conditioner that can freeze the hands and feet of first-level adventurers and make it difficult for them to move..."

"Then why are we facing that floor now and not being affected in any way..."

Finn's confusion made everyone look at each other, and they all realized that the current situation might be beyond everyone's expectations.

Finn's words reminded Ais of what someone had said to her on the 24th floor.

Go to the 59th floor, "Aliya". Now there's something interesting going on there.

You may know everything you want to know.

Looking at the dark hole, Ais clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand.

"I don't think the 'Zeus Familia' will distort the facts or exaggerate."

After hearing what Grace said, the group of people grasped the weapons in their hands and stood up one after another.

"Tuan, Captain...what about the Fire Essence Protective Cloth?"

"That one is waived. Everyone will leave in three minutes!"

Hearing what Finn said, the group expressed their understanding.

Soon, the three minutes of preparation time flew by in the blink of an eye. Finn and his party were equipped with weapons, lined up and entered the dark corridor.

During the march, the Amazon sisters with the least clothes on their bodies were the first to notice something strange.

"It's not so much cold...it's better to say it's hot..."

"Such a stuffy feeling reminds me of the bathroom in the family..."

"yes..."

Under the illumination of the lit magic stone lamp, the group continued downward and soon saw the light outside the cave.

"Finn...this is..."

"Yeah, that's what we're about to see next."

"It's an unknown that no one, not even the gods, has ever seen..."

After the words fell, the group of people walked up a whole flight of stairs.

Looking at the scenery on the 59th floor, everyone couldn't control their hearts, and their eyes widened in shock.

The scenery displayed in the field of vision made everyone forget to speak for a moment.

"..."

"Dense forest?!!"
