The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

Sitting on a rock in the lake, somehow, she suddenly used her slender fingers to slowly peel off the fruit's coat.

Looking at the pink fruit exposed from the candy, Riveria slowly put it into his mouth.

"Oh, so sweet..."

"What happened? Riveria..."

"It's okay, Ace."

After hearing Ace's doubts and explaining it to the girl, Riveria raised her head and looked at the dome of the floor with the sweet fruit in her mouth.

Looking at the faintly fluorescent top, Riveria's thoughts gradually drifted into the distance.

At the evening party, in addition to the security personnel on duty, the blacksmiths from the Loki Familia and the Hephaestus Familia were gathering in the open space surrounded by tents.

In the center of the crowd, there was a long rectangular table, with countless delicacies placed on the long table.

The light of the magic stone lamp reflected everyone's reflections and illuminated their smiles.

After arriving in the unknown territory, the "mandatory mission" from the guild was successfully completed.

The next expedition should be to explore the 60th floor.

These are just things for later, you should enjoy them now.

Under the illumination of the magic stone lamp, everyone drank the wine they carried and happily tasted the treasured food.

As the drunkenness gradually came to their hearts, the Amazon sisters, who were relatively shy, took the lead in speaking up, telling other adventurers about their adventures who had never seen the scenery below.

The two sisters became more and more excited as they chatted. Listening to the echoes of others, their bodies shook from time to time, and cheers resounded around the camp.

While everyone was cheering, there was only one person who looked out of place with a smile that did not suit his age.

That person is the leader of the Loki Familia, Finn Dimna.

Little Finn was held in the arms of his Amazon sister Tione, with two round and tender slimes on his head.

After noticing Tazmi's pointed gaze, he waved with an awkward smile, indicating that he was not happy with this blessing.

Tsubaki, who was drunk, simply took off her jacket, revealing her wheat-colored chest wrapped in countless strips of cloth, and happily held up the dropped material "Cannon Dragon's Fangs".

The Hephaestus blacksmiths also joined in the cheers.

Soon, after the banquet, the expedition team officially started its return journey.

--------

About seven days later, the expeditionary force, which had almost exhausted their weapons and food, returned from the 19th floor with their exhausted bodies and set up camp in the safe area of ​​the 18th floor.

Different from the fiftieth floor, the eighteenth floor has many rich fruit plants, allowing them to replenish supplies here.

If possible, they also wanted to rush back to the ground as soon as possible, but unexpected reasons made them stay here.

Dungeons will not allow adventurers with fruitful results to easily return home. This is no joke.

Not long ago, their expedition force was advancing in the "lower area". Just when they were almost halfway to the surface, an accident happened.

The abnormal phenomenon from the dungeon, "monster surge", appeared behind their team.

It would be fine if there were other monsters, as there is only one person in this expeditionary force who is Level 2, and the rest are all Level 3 or above, which is enough to deal with them.

But what happened to appear was a special monster in Orario known for its strong toxicity. Among the races that can use "toxic abnormal attacks", the "poison monster maggot" is even the most dangerous.

The poison possessed by these monsters can penetrate even the "advanced abnormal resistance" developed by advanced adventurers.

Their attack method is to spray venom from the nozzle, or rely on the poison secreted by the skin to give adventurers negative BUFF. Although the pure combat power can be said to be very weak, the monster groups that appear in groups, like maggots growing on corpses, can be said to make adventurers change their minds.

Not to mention that they also encountered the so-called "surge phenomenon" and walked in a maze with narrow passages and a limited number of people who could walk.

Facing the maze riot that was proliferating in almost the entire area, Tazmi couldn't save the situation no matter how fast she ran alone. (Note: The conditions for using the "Dimensional Square" are places that can be seen, marked places, and places that have impressions in the mind. The maze is crowded with people, and the surrounding scenery will also give people the feeling that I have been there before. It’s an illusion here. So it’s not that it’s not used, it’s just not very easy to use.)

In the crowded passage, they could only try their best to cover the adventurers who were too poisoned to walk and were supported by their companions to leave as soon as possible.

The adventurers who were poisoned by the poison turned purple all over, and even other types of monsters that were contaminated with severe poisons were rolling on the ground in pain.

The ups and downs of screams resounded in the maze. Faced with such a difficult situation, even Fenn had to become angry.

Riveria's magic could only freeze one passage, but the maze stretched in all directions, and more than one path could attack them.

Needless to say, other first-level adventurers and magicians, standing in a crowd and destroying monsters may cause accidental damage to their companions or cause collapse.

It was the end of the expedition, and the exhausted adventurers encountered one of the final tests from the dungeon.

The supplies for the expedition were exhausted, and there were only a few magic swords left, and they were not as powerful as "Crozo's Magic Sword".

In the end, in order not to be locked up on this floor, Finn gave the order and the expeditionary force headed to the "safety floor" on the 18th floor.

Now on this secure floor, as many as a third of the expeditionary force is affected by the toxin and unable to move.

Riveria, on the other hand, was furiously providing simple treatment to critically ill patients in the tent.

"Riveria, how's the situation..."

"Don't be too optimistic, Finn. Even counting me, there are very few people who are proficient in healing and detoxification."

"Not to mention that this is poison from the monster "Poisonous Demon Maggot". Even the detoxification magic is difficult to take effect..."

Feeling that his mental energy was about to be exhausted, Riveria sighed helplessly and closed his eyes regretfully.

Even if she has the development skill "Spiritual Recovery", the water from far away cannot quench the thirst for nearness, and can only keep these team members at such a painful point in time.

The strange thing about the poison of "Poison Monster Maggot" is its nature. An antidote must be made from the dropped materials of the same species to remove the poison and completely cure it.

Chapter 307 "Green Sun"

No matter how high her magic power is, she can only use ordinary "antidote magic" to help others alleviate the poison.

At least the only thing Finn had ever heard of was the case of a successful cure using high-level magic used by the "Battlefield Saint" Amid Triasanare, who belonged to the "Dean Kate Familia".

There is only one person in a city, which shows how rare it is.

"I hope Bert can run faster..."

Finn said slowly with a wry smile.

Just last night, he led the expedition team to this floor, quickly set up camp here, and gave Bert the order to return to the surface to purchase a large amount of antidote.

According to his guess, it would be at least two days before Bert could return. In other words, they will have to stay on this floor for at least two days.

And now the werewolf Burt should be buying rare and expensive special medicines everywhere in Orario.

Although it is an extremely painful time for those who suffer from severe poison, as long as Riveria and others who are proficient in "anti-poison magic" can suppress it, the condition will not worsen.

"First, let Chun make indestructible weapons, and then more than thirty magic swords. Finally, I have to buy out special potions, and I have to give up a lot of dropped materials to the "Hephaestus Familia". I I can already imagine Loki standing on the rooftop crying, Finn."

"Please, Grace, don't remind me of this..."

Finn, who was smiling bitterly, held his forehead and stood there as if he had a severe headache.

This was an unexpected expense, and it was a necessity.

Originally, due to the agreement made with the Familia of "Hephaestus", a major forging faction, most of the dropped items obtained by gambling were used as rewards for the alliance, which had already caused their Familia's expedition funds to go into a deficit.

Although my long-cherished wish came true, updating the "Arrival Floor" has paid off.

But just based on the magic stones picked up, whether it can be repaid is another matter. Not to mention these unexpected and rare antidotes.

If it weren't for Aisi's original reward for accepting the commission on the 24th floor, their financial pressure would have become extremely huge.

Boom! ! !

Just when these cadres of the Loki Familia were worried about the situation in front of them, a loud noise suddenly alarmed everyone.

Just like the "Giant Waterfall" in the "Water City" on the 25th floor, the sound of large amounts of water hitting the ground echoed around the camp.

The sound was very close, right near the territory where they were stationed.

Feeling that something was wrong, Finn, Grace, and Riveria all picked up their weapons and ran out of the tent.

"The sound is...this way!"

Finn quickly determined the direction and ran into the dense forest, leading the two of them to charge forward.

Countless crystal clusters streaked past the three of them, and they were getting closer and closer to the place where the sound was coming from.

Just when they were about to reach the place where the noise came from, the sound of water flow suddenly stopped.

Finn and Grace looked at each other, nodded and rushed out of the dense green forest first, with Riveria following closely behind.

As a result, what caught the eyes of the three of them was a huge lake that had never appeared before and had never been found in their memories.

Thinking about the information about the 18th floor in his mind, Finn couldn't figure out why there was such a huge lake here.

Originally this place should have been an open space.

A large amount of water vapor filled the surroundings, as if this floor had just experienced a heavy rain, making several people feel particularly fresh.

Who is he...

"It's Finn..."

Sitting by the lake, the young man slowly turned his head and spoke.

After discovering that they were acquaintances, Finn and Grace also put down their weapons and asked Tazmi.

"Tazmi, what happened here?"

"Hmm~ I used magic to get some water...come here?"

While saying this, the young man did not stop moving in his hand and slowly poured a potion into the lake.

Finn narrowed his eyes upon hearing Tazmi's reply.

"Then what's in your hand?"

"It's a special medicine. It's a special antidote for treating the poisonous poison of "Poisonous Demon Maggots"..."

As the potion dripped into the lake, even Finn couldn't help but feel that the boy was a bit wasteful.

But compared to the potion, what made him feel something was wrong was the boy's actions at this moment.

Unlike the level of exposure in the dungeon, such a huge lake at this moment is not a scene that a second-level adventurer can create with his magical power.

"Oh, by the way, you can ask the team members who are not poisoned to come over. I will be fine soon..."

After pouring all the medicine into the water, Tazmi's right arm was suddenly filled with countless flames.

The young man summoned the "Sekiryuutei's Cage" straightforwardly without avoiding the eyes of several people. After the summoning was completed, he gently placed his gauntlet on the lake, causing a ripple.

Feeling the medicinal properties that had been diluted to almost nothing, Tazmi closed her eyes and quietly searched for the remaining traces.

"found it..."

"Boost'double'!"

“Boost！Boost！Boost！×20”

"——————Boost!!!"

Tazmi, who found the remaining traces of the potion, directly activated her ability and began to strengthen it in the jade.

After completing the strengthening, Tazmi activated another ability to conduct the strengthened power into the small lake.

"Transfer!"

The emerald green light shines directly towards the zenith crystal "Crystal" on the dome of the floor.

The light is refracted by a large number of crystals and even dyes the entire floor emerald green.

As if they were in the country where the elves lived, everyone was shocked by the scene.

This strange phenomenon attracted the attention of many adventurers who were on this floor at the moment. And this day would later be called the "Green Day" that they only saw once in their lives.

"Phew, it's finally done..."

After doing all this, Tazmi stood up slowly and took off the red gauntlets on her arms.

After clapping his hands, Tazmi directly told the three first-level adventurers in front of him about the medicinal properties of the lake that he had enhanced, and said that members of the clan could use the water as medicine.

After hearing what Tazmi said, Finn, who still felt there was some doubt in the matter, was hesitating, while Riveria agreed without hesitation. (Here Finn is guessing the connection between the red gauntlets and the white figure on the 59th floor. At least the jade is relatively similar.)
