Chapter 385 The Mountain That Geniuses Cannot Incline
"Alphia!"
Upon seeing the gray-haired witch, the girls of the clan reacted in various ways. Tiony, Daphne, and the others were more surprised by her strength. With a single sonic cannon shot, she blasted dozens of monsters within the storm, killing them all.
Ryu, Arisaka, and Kaguya fought against it during the Great Struggle. It's a wonderful coincidence that they would fight side by side one day. Life is unpredictable, and no one knows what the future holds.
Alphia arrived here even earlier than the Astrea Familia.
After leaving Little Bell with Roy, Alphia, who was unable to enter Orario, has been guarding the north, killing dragon monsters that try to escape. With this strongest witch in charge, people feel incredibly safe.
Otherwise, the school district, the Loki Familia, and the Freya Familia would all have to allocate some of their fighting forces to this area.
Roy's calm, serene light met Alphia's heterochromatic eyes in mid-air.
No need for much communication, one glance is enough.
Since the guild sent them to provide support, it means something has happened that even Alphia couldn't handle!
But right now, we're dealing with the monsters inside the storm!
"Fire a volley of flaming javelins!"
Lefia's clear and melodious chanting rang out, and the magic circle beneath her feet emitted a dazzling light, with countless blazing flaming spears appearing.
Roy's eyes were sharp as knives, and his elven holy sword hummed softly as he used the technique of residual light to unleash countless dazzling sword beams that seemed capable of slicing through space.
"The Wind of Light!"
Liu multitasks, unleashing deadly arcs of light with her afterimage slashes while simultaneously completing her spellcasting.
In an instant, dense emerald green orbs of light, like a rain of jade whipped up by a gale, appeared out of thin air around her and, as her sword pointed, rained down on the dragons in another area.
"Gospel!"
Alphia's gray hair flew wildly, her lips moved gracefully, and with a deep hum, invisible and intangible sonic waves, like the whispers of death, pierced through the void with precision and efficiency.
Rumble!!
The explosion of flames, the sharp whistling of sword light, the chaotic dance of light spheres, and the destructive vibrations of sound waves!
Four distinct yet equally terrifying attacks struck the dragon species bound by the net of light.
A blinding light burst forth, an explosion produced a deafening roar, and chaotic energy surges filled every corner. The ferocious and monstrous dragon monsters were utterly annihilated under the net of destruction woven by the four.
In less than three to five minutes!
As the aftershocks of the final explosion dissipated within the storm, the area that had been filled with roars and malevolent energy became deathly silent!
The dragon horde that nearly escaped was completely wiped out. The monsters were bound by the light net set up by the school district. Apart from monsters with ranged attacks like the Poisonous Centipede Dragon, the others were just sitting ducks. As long as there was enough ranged firepower, it was not difficult to clear them out.
Lefia said, "The four of us combined are too strong, enough to wipe out any fleeing dragons!"
"The Astrea Familia!"
Many elves followed behind Alphia, staring blankly at the shocking scene of hundreds of dragon monsters being reduced to ashes, their faces ashen.
They are residents of Fanashie village, one of the few living people in this "forbidden zone of life".
They once lived in the Alf Mountains. Thousands of years ago, their ancestors were killed by the dragon monsters that gathered there, and they have a deep-seated hatred for the black dragon.
Unwilling to leave, they remained in the nearby forest, monitoring the movements of the strange phenomenon day after day.
They knew that if the "Visiting Dragon Problem" occurred, they would be the first victims to die, yet they still stayed here, just to send the news out as soon as possible.
Even though they were in the "forbidden zone of life" in the north, they were not completely cut off from the outside world. They had long heard of the great achievements of the Astrea Familia.
A powerful force that has risen in recent years, after the destruction of Zeus and Hera's clan, they are the last hope for the lower realm!
As night falls, a cold wind envelops the earth.
Without Roy and the others even having to ask, the elves of Fanashie Village proactively delivered a large amount of supplies.
The group camped outside Dragon Valley, about ten kilometers from the "Fairy Storm," within attack range, ready to deal with any monsters trying to escape.
Plop!
A warm campfire was lit in the open space, and the heat dispelled the chill from everyone, covering the people sitting around the fire like an invisible blanket.
The flames roared, and the crackling of burning firewood filled the air, deep and crisp. The firelight danced on the relaxed faces of the people, casting a soft glow.
With a wave of her hand, Liu took out the stored food.
The girls enjoyed the food Astraea had prepared in advance, their pretty faces beaming with happiness, just like they were on a picnic.
Roy popped a piece of juicy, fragrant roasted meat into his mouth, swallowed it whole to replenish his energy, and then handed a portion to Alphia.
Even the most aloof goddess needs to eat eventually. Alphia took the roast meat and savored it in small, elegant bites.
But it's not slow at all.
In less than two minutes, she had finished the roast meat. This was a habit she had developed in the dungeon; an adventurer's speed in eating increased their survival rate.
Alphia took out a handkerchief, wiped her cherry-like lips, and whispered, "It tastes good."
"hehe!"
Roy was beaming with pride, which was only natural, as it was Astraea's masterpiece that had taken her several hours to create.
Alphia glanced at Roy, as if it had nothing to do with her, so why was she so proud?
Roy waited for a while, but the witch didn't ask any questions. How could they exchange information then? "Don't you want to know how Bell is doing in Orario?"
Alfia remained calm as usual, saying, "My concerns will not have any impact on the child's situation."
Even if she cries and screams, her heart breaking, she can't help Bear Grylls, who is tens of thousands of kilometers away, so why do something so meaningless?
Roy's lips twitched. "That's true, but if you put it that way, things will get complicated."
"Ugh!"
Alfia sighed softly. Since Roy had brought it up, how could she not care? "How is the child?"
Roy smiled and told Alphia everything he knew, down to the smallest detail.
Alphia was like a quiet listener.
Even when she heard that Little Bell was being targeted by Freya, she remained unfazed, knowing that the road to becoming a hero was destined to be difficult and full of thorns.
Alphia would not easily interfere with Bell's growth, even if Bell's life was in danger.
Upon learning of the "Hero's Aspiration" skill, a faint smile flickered across Alphia's face. Truly remarkable, to have awakened such a special skill.
Although she has a lot of special skills, they were obtained in exchange for a terminal illness and certain other factors.
"Cough! Cough!"
Alphia coughed softly and drank the elixir of heaven given to her by Roy. Her physical condition improved significantly, but her potential was still locked up by her terminal illness.
After finishing his story, Roy looked quietly at Alphia, his meaning clear: It's your turn!
Alphia said, "The enemy is Ymir!"
"Imir—" Roy murmured, searching his mind for information about the name.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Roy said, "Is it the floor master of the sixty-fifth floor?"
"Yes!" Alphia nodded.
The floor master of the 65th floor of the dungeon, "Glacier Domain," is the ice dragon-type monster "Ymir"!
Roy frowned. No wonder Alphia had to call for backup. The floor master of the 49th floor, "Baror," was already LV.7, and the floor master of the 65th floor, "Imir," had a genuine LV.8 ability value!
The floor owner is a special monster.
The floor master of the 37th floor, "Udeos," possesses combat power far exceeding that of the floor above. Both of them are LV.6, and the ordinary monster on the 67th floor, "Poisonous Centipede Dragon," but the former is slightly stronger in actual combat!
The floor master, "Ymir," is not only a dragon with a LV.8 ability value, but also possesses the abilities of ice and flight. Her blood contains a deadly poison that can kill LV.8 adventurers, and anyone without at least B-grade abnormal resistance cannot withstand it!
Its overall combat power is close to LV.9!
Even the former Zeus and Hera Familia required at least several LV.8 adventurers and hundreds of high-level adventurers to defeat.
Roy was speechless. A perfectly good floor master, instead of guarding his floor, ran to the surface and was sealed away by the fairy storm.
This monster emerged over a thousand years ago, so it's estimated that a new floor master has already been born in the dungeon.
"When dealing with that monster, I didn't have the strength to deal with the other monsters," Alphia said calmly.
"Understood!"
Roy suddenly realized that the floor master "Imir" was indeed troublesome, but Alphia's combat power was also top-notch. Once the third magic was used, the continuous bell ringing was enough to kill all monsters below LV.10!
However, after using that magic, Alphia will fall into extreme weakness, even becoming unable to move, and other monsters will need to be dealt with by them.
"Why would someone like this even appear?"
Roy rubbed his temples; he remembered that this event never happened in the original timeline.
"It was just a tragic relationship."
Alphia's exquisitely cool lips curled up.
When the two great clans once fought against the black dragon, the dragons served as guards. Alphia casually fired a salvo cannon at them. This time, the black dragon's snoring distorted the seal, and the dragon-shaped floor master noticed her presence. He was quite vengeful and came after her.
Roy's eyes are strange. So it was you who caused this trouble!
"Is there anything else unusual? Like the seal being broken or something?" Roy looked at Alphia.
"The seal is broken?" Alphia stared at Roy with an expression as if he were an idiot.
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."
Roy already knew the answer, which was somewhat expected; it was impossible for the black dragon to appear ahead of schedule!
The powerful immortal sent by the gods to support the ancient heroes possesses magical power that is no joke; its power is earth-shattering.
The immortals are hailed as the race closest to the gods, and the great immortals are only one step away from becoming gods!
The celestial storm that sealed the black dragon was cast at the cost of a great celestial being's life, and it has lasted for a thousand years. Even by the most conservative estimate, this magic's level exceeds the LV.10 domain!
No one in the lower realm can match him!
It's even less likely to be sabotaged from the outside!
This immortal essence will be exhausted at any time, and then it will become uncontrollable!
We can rule out the butterfly effect he caused.
But Cassandra's prophetic dream clearly indicated that a cataclysmic disaster was about to occur.
Roy's brow furrowed more and more, his keen intuition kicking in, a bad feeling creeping over him.
While Roy and Alphia were talking, the clan girls were also gathering the necessary information nearby.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, the enemy is now clearly identified!
All that's left is to wait; the "Imir" that's eyeing Alphia will appear sooner or later.
Everyone rested and recuperated, and Roy was no exception.
While Roy closed his eyes to rest, he mentally accessed the instance panel, searching for suitable prey.
In fact, he never stopped searching.
Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly. Finding a target of LV.7 or higher was no easy task, as for hunting L...
Goals below V.6 are not very meaningful.
LV.7 is like a humanoid nuclear bomb, capable of being launched continuously.
Regarding the dungeon world, aside from being somewhat reckless at the beginning, Roy became very cautious later on.
You must be absolutely certain!
That would be interesting if the opponent managed to kill you!
In this world, you can even go to the underworld to rescue people. But if you die in a dungeon world and your soul goes missing, what will happen then? Roy doesn't know.
Fortunately, there is the "Divine Descent" skill. Although it is not very efficient, it is still a piece of meat.
As time passed, just as the fairy storm began to stir, everyone suddenly opened their eyes, a sharp glint flashing in their eyes—the monster was coming!
Roy, Ryu, Alphia, and the girls stared intently at the storm that stretched between heaven and earth in the distance.
Just as everyone held their breath in concentration.
Rumble—rumble—rumble—
A deep, resonant sound, as if emanating from the very depths of the earth's pulse, suddenly reverberated.
That was the deep snore of the black dragon!
A resonance that reaches the very soul!
The terrifying sound waves created visible ripples in the space, spreading wildly. Each sound was like a heavy hammer, slamming into everyone's hearts, causing their blood to surge and their eardrums to be torn apart!
The faces of everyone present turned deathly pale in an instant. An extreme fear, stemming from their biological instincts, gripped their hearts, making it almost impossible to breathe, leaving only their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
The voices of high-level monsters have a suppressive effect.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Including Roy, Ryu, and Tione, who are at level 7, their stats have decreased by about 20%!
"Is that the black dragon's snoring?!"
Daphne gritted her teeth, staring ahead with a horrified look in her eyes, feeling a wave of weakness wash over her.
It has a greater impact on people of lower ranks.
"vomit!"
Lefia, Laila, and Chunji suffered stomach cramps, collapsed to the ground, and vomited up the food they had eaten not long ago. Their little faces lost all color.
Alexie and Kaguya barely supported themselves with their longswords, and their condition was not much better than theirs.
The elves of Fanashie Village had long since left, and over the centuries, many of their people had been killed by the roar of the black dragon.
Roy said in a deep voice, "Liu!"
Ryu nodded, and the skill "Inheritance of Justice" was activated!
One of its effects is to grant mental pollution resistance to members of the same clan within a certain range.
The amplification value, enhancement value, grant rate, and effect range change with Liu's level. Now she is LV.7, and the effect is not comparable to before.
A faint glow appeared on everyone's bodies.
By using the Synchronization Contract, Roy gains Ryu's stats, development abilities, and skills.
A double inheritance of justice!
The girls' resistance to mental pollution doubled, their complexions improved, and their condition returned to normal.
Roy looked at Lefia and Chunji, who were still shaken. There was nothing they could do about it. No one knew when the black dragon's snoring would start, and they couldn't keep using their skills indefinitely; it would consume too much energy.
It's also good to let them experience it in advance.
This was just the black dragon's snore, not its roar. If it were the latter, it would be tens of thousands of times more terrifying.
call out!
Even more terrifying was that, along with that deafening snoring, the sky-covering celestial storm vortex began to twist and collapse violently and irregularly, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring up the chaos!
The storm moved to both sides and was pushed aside.
A towering and terrifying colossal shadow slowly emerged from the edge of the distorted storm. It resembled a Western dragon with two wings, appearing blue and white.
Its enormous body is over two hundred meters long!
It seemed as if scales formed from frozen ice covered its entire body, reflecting a cold, deep blue luster.
It exuded a blue-white aura, and countless frosts formed around it, freezing even the air.
The floor master of the Glacier Realm, "Ymir"!
The frost dragon coiled at the edge of the storm, its cold, gleaming eyes piercing through the barriers of space, precisely locked onto Alphia!
Roar! !
Upon closer inspection, a hideous, enormous scar was visible on the belly of the colossal body covered in dark blue ice scales. Although it had long since healed, the scar remained, making it particularly glaring.
It was Alphia who caused it before.
For a powerful dragon species, this is a great humiliation. Monsters have no intelligence, but they can have unforgettable memories of certain special experiences.
That fear of impending death—all the pain—did not fade with time, but instead fermented and accumulated, turning into a raging fire of rage.
More than a decade later, feeling Alphia's presence again instantly rekindled everything from the past.
Its eyes were filled with boiling rage.
The next instant, the enormous ice crystal wings that blotted out the sky spread out, and the massive body moved forward. Just as it was about to break free, the light net set up by the school district appeared, and specks of light wrapped around the dragon like rain.
scoff!
Without any violent collision, the magical light that fell on Ymir was frozen, falling like dense hailstones, and the net of light collapsed directly.
The school district's "Binding Net of Light" barrier can temporarily control the LV.6 Poisonous Centipede Dragon, but it is clearly not enough to deal with the LV.8 Ymir.
The reason it hasn't appeared yet is because the Fairy Essence Storm has sealed it tightly.
We can only wait for the next snoring of the black dragon.
Intuitive!
Seeing Ymir break through the Fairy Storm and the Light Binding Net in succession, a horrifying image flashed through Roy's mind, and he shouted, "Everyone, scatter!"
The crowd responded and dispersed.
Ymir's main target is Alphia; they've gotten too close to Alphia.
Immediately afterwards, Ymir's enormous head rose, and from its abyss-like mouth, an extreme icy blue light gathered wildly, and a terrifying chill capable of freezing time and space spread out like a tide.
"Roar!!"
It was accompanied by a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
A massive, mountain-like breath of frost erupted forth, a destructive torrent formed from extreme cold, traversing over ten kilometers at unimaginable speed. Wherever it passed, the air condensed into ice crystal dust, leaving a huge, smoky white trail of frost in the sky, heading straight for Alphia!
Extremely wide coverage!
A super-wide area magic comparable to LV.8!
Alphia's stunningly beautiful face remained calm. "I heard you've awakened spatial magic?"
Roy nodded. "Don't resist!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Alphia's bright, pearl-like heterochromatic eyes. There really is one!
Transfer to a higher position!
Just before the destructive torrent of frost was about to engulf them, Roy swiftly grabbed Alphia's delicate little hand.
The fluctuations of spatial magic engulfed the two of them.
Rumble!!
Almost at the same moment the two figures disappeared.
The violent, frosty breath slammed down on the spot where they had been standing.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth split open!
A blinding icy blue light burst forth, and terrifying extreme cold energy spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact, like a plague!
The earth groaned violently under this freezing force!
A chill swept by, freezing everything in an instant. The wasteland turned into a deathly, icy blue, rocks became ice sculptures, and the remaining vegetation remained in the position it was in before being frozen, covered with a thick layer of ice.
Within seconds, an area spanning several kilometers was completely transformed into a frozen wasteland, devoid of life and emitting a chilling aura!
A ripple appeared, and Roy and Alphia appeared on a hill, looking down at the terrible disaster brought about by the frost breath.
One strike is enough to kill 100,000 people!
Alphia's attention was on Roy. Looking at the boy's handsome profile, she suddenly felt that it would be a little difficult for Bell to become a hero!
This era already has a prodigy who defies the heavens, a mountain that all geniuses find insurmountable!
