27th Floor.
Noah witnessed the absolute "most common" abnormal situation in the entire Dungeon for the very first time.
A Monster Party.
A highly lethal Dungeon trap where a massive, totally overwhelming number of hungry monsters violently appear all at once.
Countless unlucky adventurers had already been completely overwhelmed and brutally killed by the endless, swarming monsters produced by these traps.
But for the elite Loki Familia, so-called Monster Parties were essentially just totally minor accidents they had seen so many times, it was honestly even to the point of sheer boredom.
"Moss Giants, and a whole lot of them!"
"The rear retreat path is completely blocked!"
"Everyone, listen up closely! We'll just fight them right here!"
The glowing crystal walls violently cracked and shattered within mere seconds, and in the absolute blink of an eye, hundreds of aggressively roaring Moss Giants completely appeared in this specific area that had absolutely no monsters just moments before.
Noah, calmly seeing this unfold, fully loaded 7 specialized rounds all at once.
This specific space had unfortunately become extremely cramped due to the massively large number of towering monsters, meaning the overall effectiveness of his Swift Wind buff, which primarily increased movement speed, was quite heavily limited here.
For thick Moss Giants, whose core attributes leaned heavily towards wood and water, the raw Destruction attribute was their absolute natural counter.
Noah precisely marked seven different vanguards and continuously pulled the heavy trigger, perfectly emptying the entire magazine in one smooth go.
Seven blinding streams of light violently flashed through the air as the heavily buffed vanguards smoothly raised their newly enhanced flame spears and blazing fire blades, immediately launching fierce highly destructive attacks directly against the swarming Moss Giants.
In terms of sheer numbers, the endless Moss Giants outnumbered them several times over, but they were still violently forced to rapidly retreat step by step under the incredibly powerful, relentless fire-attribute attacks.
Monsters actually feeling genuine fear—while incredibly rare, it definitely wasn't completely unheard of.
At this exact moment, the massive group of Moss Giants, heavily suppressed by the brutal fire attacks, repeatedly retreated further and further back, finally scattering completely in total disarray upon violently reaching a wide open area.
Watching the massive, terrifying number of monsters desperately fleeing in absolutely all directions, Noah thought quietly for a moment, then calmly asked Riveria.
"Just letting them escape like this would definitely be troublesome, right? The overall survival probability for any other normal adventurer parties facing that exact massive lineup is probably very, very low."
Riveria also totally nodded in agreement, then gracefully raised her elegant staff.
"I'll simply use my high-tier magic to completely annihilate them all at once."
The absolute strongest mage in the entire city spoke, and this simple statement was totally equivalent to officially sentencing absolutely all the fleeing monsters to a swift, fiery death.
If it was the Nine Hell's completely unreserved, wide-area annihilation magic, literally no monster in this entire massive area would ever survive.
Hearing her explicitly mention total annihilation, Noah proactively stepped up and said.
"In that case, could you please just leave it to me? Actually, I'm quite exceptionally good at dealing directly with fleeing enemies."
"You say... you'll do it?" Riveria asked, actually somewhat surprised just to confirm.
After all, ever since entering the deep Dungeon, the young man standing right before her had primarily only displayed those highly powerful, tactical support magics.
But upon hearing his totally confident offer, she quickly remembered that the youth also clearly possessed long-range highly destructive fire magic that was actually powerful enough to effectively damage a literal floor boss monster.
If she could actually clearly see that strange magic in action again, Riveria would be quite incredibly pleased.
"Alright, then I'll totally leave it to you. Please try not to let a single one of them escape."
Noah's lips curled up in a satisfied smile.
All five Phase Observation magic arrays flawlessly deployed in the air.
"Artillery strike."
"Bombard!"
Massive, pure crimson beams violently erupted directly from the Annihilator's smoking muzzle, and each rapid activation of the heavy bombardment spell caused massive, deafening rumbles to violently echo throughout the entire Dungeon.
The deafening sounds of the massive explosions were totally incessant, forcefully forcing all his nearby companions to tightly cover their ringing ears.
In the blink of an eye, the famously beautiful Water City rapidly became a totally smoke-filled, completely devastated battlefield.
If viewed strictly from above, one would easily see that the originally breathtaking and highly illusory Water Capital was now totally full of massive, smoking craters and thick dust directly from the relentless bombardments.
The deafening sounds of massive explosions and the endless agonizing screams of dying monsters violently interwove, perfectly creating a totally hellish picture of pure destruction.
"This beautiful place has already completely become a totally ruined battlefield..."
Raul watched in total awe as the famously beautiful Water City turned into this incredibly miserable, cratered state directly under Noah's relentless bombing, nervously swallowing a heavy mouthful of saliva.
He also very cautiously glanced sideways at Noah, who honestly looked quite deeply pleased with his own massive destruction.
'Was this guy even actually human?'
As for exactly why Noah was so happy? Of course, it was simply because this was all highly valuable, massive experience!
A Level 2 farming high-tier monsters with such insane overpowered efficiency all the way down in the brutal lower levels of the 27th floor—honestly, even a god would be completely and utterly surprised by this bullshit.
"Huh? What the hell is that?"
Suddenly, right in the middle of his continuous bombardment, Noah clearly noticed something totally incongruous in a very isolated place.
He remembered completely clearly that he had literally just used a heavy bombardment spell directly on that exact location, but looking back at it now through the smoke, that specific small area was totally completely intact.
The Dungeon's rapid self-repair? No.
If it wasn't a totally abnormal situation, how the hell could it possibly be so fast?
Noah slightly narrowed his sharp glowing eyes, carefully observing the somewhat highly discordant area directly through the advanced Phase Observation array.
"Appraise."
"Hidden Entrance"
Magic barrier set by ???
Hidden area
Unknown area
???'s hiding place
'Just as I thought.'
Noah totally put down the smoking Annihilator in his hands and slowly turned back to the high elf standing right beside him.
"Miss Riveria, I actually just found a hidden area right outside the main cavern."
"What?"
