Chapter 94: Warlord's Fervor! Full Battle Stance! Kill the BOSS
Several members from the "Freya" Familia, among whom only one face, Pan, the Lv4 half-pallum adventurer, was relatively familiar to Liam.
According to the current timeline's development, Bell, possessing the precocious "Single-Minded Aspiration" skill, accepted the baptism of the Battlefield Wilderness.
He estimated it would be very difficult to sublimate his level to Lv2 within half a month.
Briefly observing the battle, the rabbit Bell's current combat style was clearly finding his niche, mainly focusing on speed.
"Should be no problem."
He was referring, of course, to soloing the floor lord.
There were no other monsters in the floor lord's room. Even if Mikoto's "Futsunomitama" skill was applied to Goliath.
During close combat, he would also be restricted by the gravity magic.
What Liam needed to consider now was whether his Selfless Sword Aura could break through the floor lord Goliath's defense, and the formulation of his battle strategy.
According to his vague impression from the anime.
The floor lord Goliath's strength wasn't particularly high. It was a target for subjugation by mid-sized Familias and those from Rivira. Its recovery ability was strong.
Its main attack method was relying on its physical body.
Having formulated his battle method, Liam had no intention of lingering. If he really waited until the Freya Familia team was in a crisis.
He probably wouldn't have time to conquer the boss!
He glanced at the young woman beside him, whose face was somewhat hesitant, and said in a relaxed tone, "Leave the rest to me."
"Do you really not need assistance?"
Both were Lv2 adventurers. Although Liam's strength was that little bit stronger, Mikoto looked at the floor lord in the distance.
Her expression was exceptionally grave. She didn't receive Liam's reply.
As that familiar figure flashed past, the young woman's heart leaped, but her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"If it's Liam, even Goliath should be no problem at all!"
Even with the high-intensity "baptism" from a while ago, his ability score improvement was obvious, but he was still limited by his adventurer level.
Facing the massive Goliath, Bell could only utilize his speed advantage.
Dodging the floor lord's attacks while using his short sword and magic to inflict some damage on Goliath. To successfully kill it…
He clearly realized that with the strength he currently possessed, it was simply impossible!
"."
He didn't think of asking his nominal master, Pan, for help. Challenging the floor lord was his own idea, to catch up to Liam as much as possible.
Strengthening the conviction in his heart, Bell prepared to attack again.
But just as he was adjusting his breathing, the monster's highly raised arm fiercely smashed down in front of him.
The hard rock ground still couldn't withstand the gravity.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared. Facing the oncoming rubble, Bell instinctively leaped sideways to finally dodge it.
"With my current strength, challenging the floor lord was indeed a bit impulsive." He didn't feel defeated, just that his own strength was insufficient.
As this thought arose in his mind, he saw a somewhat familiar figure wearing a black cloak and with black hair.
Taking advantage of the gap in Goliath's attack, he launched an attack on the floor lord!
The figure that flew past, his grayish-brown cloak blown up by the airflow, his left hand presenting an unnatural, deathly white.
"Liam Moon."
"Is that Mr. Liam?"
Bell's expression was momentarily dazed, but a moment later, it was a heartfelt admiration. The floor lord Goliath before him, Liam should be able to handle it, right?
His words received no reply, only the pained roar of the enraged floor lord Goliath.
And that figure… Continuously swinging his sword, accompanied by countless slashes of rainbow-colored flowing light!
Observing from a long distance, he couldn't clearly feel the floor lord's strength. At the very least, Goliath, like the "Eren Titan."
Its height and size were several times that of Liam.
A massive physique meant it was tough-skinned and durable. As long as one's reaction and speed were fast enough, one could easily dodge Goliath's attacks.
"Finally found a real boss battle!"
Not minding Bell, who was entangled with Goliath. Thrusting Smash was effective for clearing ordinary monsters and as a means of travel.
After all, its stamina consumption requirement was extremely high.
He decisively activated the effects of the "Warlord's Fervor" and "Flowing Stance" skills. Since he was going to grind a boss, of course, he had to use his strongest stance.
"Overdrive."
A combat method whose skill level had been raised to Lv5. Liam, of course, wouldn't be stingy with it.
The principle of this skill wasn't that hard to understand. It just changed the final form of the Selfless Sword Aura, penetrating the sword body, thereby erupting with stronger attack power.
The price was also obvious: the sword aura would cause significant damage to the sword's material, leading to a decrease in durability!
"With all the additional skills stacked, the effect shouldn't be too bad, right?" Liam held expectations for the upcoming battle.
Taking advantage of the opening after Goliath completed its attack.
Relying on his speed and agility advantage, his figure dashed extremely quickly in front of the floor lord. The short swords held in both hands, he decisively chopped down.
The target was Goliath's sturdy defense.
"Warlord's Fervor."
With each sword swing, the attack strength would stack, at the cost of consuming mental energy.
Simply put, the faster the attack speed, the higher the damage. Without many swordsmanship techniques, relying on numerous buff effects.
A probing sword swing.
The power of the attack had already surpassed the damage of his current level!
Easily breaking through the floor lord Goliath's defense, accompanied by a flowing, rainbow-colored sword aura slash, it left a shocking wound.
Liam glanced at the floor lord before him. Dark red blood continuously gushed from the wound. If one observed carefully.
One could even see traces of healing.
Even though it wasn't the mutated black Goliath, it still possessed rapid recovery, just that the speed was relatively slow.
Feeling a sharp pain.
It lifted its giant foot and stomped towards Liam's direction. The power contained within compressed the surrounding air. "Too slow."
He backstepped a certain distance, and the attached sword aura as his short sword fell.
Directly sliced open a gash on the floor lord Goliath's foot, so deep that the bone was visible!
The severe pain from the wound made the monster unable to maintain its standing posture.
After all, its intelligence was only equivalent to a certain goddess, Aqua. Its massive body, unable to maintain balance, crashed heavily towards the back wall.
The only whetstone for his own strength was the floor lord before him. Liam decisively dashed forward in a drawing stance.
With a flash of sword light, the figure that was originally more than ten meters away.
Dashed directly in front of the floor lord Goliath. Liam looked up at the monster, which was clenching its fist, preparing to hammer him.
His calm expression didn't change at all; he just continuously swung his sword.
Utilizing his body's agility advantage, each sword swing would leave a shocking wound on the monster before him.
Blood splattered on the ground, filling the surrounding air with a thick smell of blood.
He didn't deliberately keep track of the stacking effect of "Warlord's Fervor," but the consumption of mental energy was a real fatigue.
Pushing durability to the limit, the short sword that erupted with stronger attack effects continuously hummed!!
"That's about it!"
Facing Goliath, which had completely lost its means of counterattack, with only its heart not yet destroyed, the process was smoother than Liam had expected.
To put it another way, this type of boss wasn't strong at all!
The attack power, stacked to the extreme by his magic skills, the final consumption made him mentally exhausted.
And the weapon, from high-frequency use of "Overdrive," even with the quality upgraded by Tsubaki's forging, the pitch-black sword body still showed fine, spiderweb-like cracks. It was only that its sharpness remained.
"."
Swinging his sword had already become an instinct. Knowing how to end the battle, he gathered strength in his legs. Even though he was wearing the heavy armor provided by Eina.
Liam was still as agile as ever. His lightly leaping figure had a very clear target.
The short sword held in both hands, in a diving posture, the sword aura from the charged Drawing Sword was faster than expected!
"Drawing Sword."
Directly cutting the battered and bruised floor lord before him from the chest!
Blood filled the air, but just as it was about to touch Liam, it turned into gray-black dust and was reabsorbed by the Dungeon.
"It's over."
His figure landed steadily on the ground, sheathing the short sword that was about to reach its limit.
「Exp +5661」
The death of the floor lord Goliath also brought a huge amount of experience points to the Sword Soul template. He took a quick glance at his class level.
「Level: 35」
「New skills are currently available for learning. View them?」
"?"
"Looks like an unexpected surprise from leaving the Dungeon exploration!" Liam suppressed his expectant mood and turned to examine the dropped items.
"What... the hell is this?"
Bell had withdrawn from the battlefield, replaced by a somewhat familiar figure. Pan quickly recognized Liam's identity.
It was him who had specifically brought Bell to "The Hostess of Fertility" restaurant.
Including learning that Liam had broken the world record and created a miracle by rising to Lv2. That was all.
He was indeed a genius, but the premise was that he could grow up!
Lady Freya had mentioned not to specifically contact Liam. If he encountered danger, just provide appropriate help.
Pan had never thought that his and Liam's real meeting would be in the middle levels' floor lord room, and with no interference at all.
With the strength of a Lv2 adventurer, slaughtering the floor lord Goliath, which had no means of resistance!
"...This!"
Pan's mood was complicated. He couldn't imagine Liam's attack methods. The continuously sweeping flowing slashes should belong to the realm of magic.
His combat agility, as well as his fighting style – if they really had to fight, with his own Lv4 adventurer strength, could he really guarantee a win against Liam?
Not noticing Pan's furrowed brow, the artistic battle greatly soothed Bell's tense mood.
Regarding the fact that Liam could single-handedly kill the floor lord Goliath.
His mood didn't fluctuate much. He even felt it was very natural. The fastest newcomer to level up.
Carrying a disease, yet still possessing an unyielding belief to fight against fate.
Even though he hadn't killed the floor lord Goliath, Bell still felt the title "Hero" perfectly fit Liam.
Moreover…
Regardless of adventurer level or strength, Liam, who had registered as an adventurer one day before him, was a well-deserved powerhouse!
Finally coming back to his senses, Bell looked at the frowning Pan beside him. Without thinking too much, his smile was bright, "Mr. Pan, this is the Mr. Liam I told you about, who broke the world record and created a miracle!"
Mentioning what came next, the young man's smile was a bit sheepish, "With my current strength, it's very difficult to defeat the floor lord."
"But I feel that Mr. Liam, who became an adventurer one day before me, can easily deal with Goliath…" Speaking of which, Bell frowned, somewhat conflicted.
And as his brow smoothed out, he finally thought of a suitable summary, "I feel, this is a very reasonable thing!!"
Pan, who also had a youthful appearance, his mood was complicated at this moment, especially when he heard Bell's emphasis on "very reasonable."
He suppressed his calm mood, looked up at the figure in the distance.
His own goddess had instructed him on the situation. Pan didn't harbor any ill will, but when his gaze met Liam's.
The calm, dark brown eyes contained an unprecedentedly strong sword momentum! It pointed straight to the soul!
Adventurers' battles were often decided by skill. When Pan met Liam's sharp eyes that seemed to penetrate everything.
Even with his proud personality, Pan still felt an inability to compete with him.
It couldn't be that Liam, returning from his Familia expedition, had his ability scores leap forward again?
Withdrawing his gaze, noticing the admiration deep in Bell's eyes, although he was very reluctant, he still had to admit, gritting his teeth, he said.
"Liam Moon is... very strong!"
Bell, who possessed the "Single-Minded Aspiration" skill, had excellent talent himself and was an absolute genius in the Freya Familia.
But compared to the Liam before him.
Pan only felt that the latter was a monster, through and through!!
