Chapter 305 School District Elf Affection Level 60%
The seventeenth level is a cave labyrinth.
Suddenly, Goliath, the floor master, emerged from a crack in the towering "Wall of Sighs." His shadow was so heavy that it blotted out the sky, and every step he took was so heavy that the earth trembled. The students in the school district turned pale.
"Impossible! Goliath should have been defeated three days ago!" Yarisa exclaimed in shock.
As students with excellent grades and a humble attitude towards learning, they would naturally go to the guild to check on the floor owner's situation. However, standing before them was none other than the floor owner, Goliath, without a doubt!
Lefia's voice trembled as she pointed at Goliath, "No, look at its belly!"
The students looked up and saw that a large chunk of flesh was missing from the giant's abdomen. Upon closer inspection, they saw that Goliath's body was covered in wounds, which would not be present if it were a reborn Goliath.
The quick-thinking students understood something.
Three days ago, the floor master Goliath fought a fierce battle with the adventurers, was seriously injured, and chose to escape.
The adventurers believed that the heavily wounded Goliath would die on its own in an hour or two. Instead of wasting time chasing it, they thought it would be better to go deeper into the lower levels as soon as possible. Goliath rarely dropped materials, and not everyone had the luck of Roy or Bell. The value of the magic stones alone was insignificant compared to the precious materials in the lower levels.
But Goliath's endurance was extraordinary; he hid in a crack in the Wailing Wall, barely clinging to life.
The students were complaining bitterly. Those damned adventurers hadn't actually killed Goliath, yet they still sent a report to the guild. False information can kill people!
Even the heavily damaged Goliath was still the floor master, a LV.4 monster with specialized defense!
The attacks of a LV.2 adventurer are useless.
The students trembled with fear at the mere sound of his roar, their fighting spirit vanishing.
boom!!
Goliath's enormous, millstone-like hand, carrying a terrifying, crushing wind pressure, slammed down.
A terrifying, pure power erupted instantly, striking several students who couldn't dodge in time. They screamed and flew backward, their bodies twisting in unnatural arcs in the air, blood gushing from their mouths and noses, and the cracking sound of bones breaking was clearly audible!
thump!
They crashed heavily onto the hard ground or rock face, their groans and cries of pain filling the area!
The captain of the seventh squad, Badain, roared with fury and grief, his eyes bloodshot. His muscles bulged, the veins on his thick arms stood out, and he gripped a heavy steel axe tightly in his hands. He pushed the powerful strength bestowed upon him by his race to the limit and cleaved it towards Goliath's knees with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks!
clang!!
A deafening clang of metal clashing and exploding resounded.
Badain's axe, imbued with all his might, struck Goliath's greyish-brown hide, leaving only a faint white mark, the blade even slightly curled!
Goliath's skin was as tough as cast steel, and ordinary weapons could not penetrate its defenses at all. Even Badain's LV.2 power was useless.
Goliath didn't even bother to look at him. As if shooing away a fly, he casually raised his huge foot and kicked out with suffocating wind pressure.
boom!
Badain was kicked and had no chance to fight back. His burly body was sent flying like a rocket and crashed hard into the hard wall behind him!
"Crack!" The chilling sound of bones breaking rang out one after another. He spat out a large amount of blood, which was embedded in the dent of the broken stone wall. His life or death was unknown!
Nathan, a member of the Lilliputian race, witnessed this horrifying scene and was filled with fear. His small body trembled violently. Badain, due to his racial talent, possessed superhuman strength and endurance, but he was also kicked away by Goliath.
"Yarisa, quick—use healing magic! Save the captain and them!" The three squads were showing signs of collapse, and some students were screaming with tears in their eyes!
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Other monsters are closing in from both sides, Lefia! Lefia! Quickly use magic to stop them!" A terrified scream came from the other side!
As the ruler of the entire floor, the floor owner has the ability to summon minions.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The walls shattered, and countless monsters leaped out: the Berg Bear, the Sniper Dragonfly, the Hellhound, and the Minotaur, who, besides Goliath, was the most powerful being in the "Cave Labyrinth."
At first glance, one feels despair; hundreds of monsters swarm around, blocking all roads and making it impossible to pass!
Cries for help, screams, monster roars, and the clash of weapons—all sorts of sounds mingled together.
A word flashed through the students' minds.
Experienced adventurers often refer to it as "The Monster's Feast"! Faced with this desperate situation, the entire party completely falls apart.
The students in the school district are not hothouse flowers. Reaching LV.2 means that they have accomplished at least one great feat that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
But all their previous battles were on the surface.
Compared to the perilous dungeons, it's not even in the same league. The demonic lair, which devours countless adventurers, always appears when people are careless...
In the moment of relaxation, it unleashes extreme malice, baring its most ferocious fangs.
The elven girl, Lefia, on whom so much hope had been placed, was now deathly pale, her face contorted by the sight of her captain's horrific state and her comrades' grave injuries.
The approaching monster, the urgent shouts of her classmates—countless pieces of information and feelings of fear crashed against her fragile mind like a tsunami.
As a standard rear-guard mage, she was protected by everyone and no monsters had touched her yet.
However, judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time.
"Proud warriors, archers of the forest. The advancing raiders are ahead, take up your bows—" Lefia's pale lips trembled as she raised her staff and chanted the familiar incantation.
Roar!
A muscular Minotaur charged wildly, knocking aside two students and relentlessly rushing towards Lefia at the back.
That roar, countless times more ferocious than that of a wild beast, made Lefia's little head buzz, shattering all her logic and composure.
The chanting was abruptly interrupted!
Lefia stood there, stunned, her pupils reflecting the Minotaur rushing towards her. Her small hand, gripping the staff, was cold and stiff. She couldn't think; despair, like an icy tide, completely overwhelmed her.
"Lefia—!"
'
At this critical moment of life and death, Lefia felt the world slow down, and she could hear Yaris calling to her with worry.
*Sizzle!*
An indescribable, sharp golden light tore through the air deep within the maze, followed by a piercing shriek, and golden lightning swept across the chaotic battlefield.
Its radiance was so intense that it illuminated the entire labyrinth, casting a pale white light upon every terrified face and every ferocious outline of a monster.
This terrifying bolt of lightning, carrying an unstoppable force, struck the Minotaur that was about to collide with Lefia with perfect accuracy.
boom!
Without any suspense, a deafening explosion rang out, and the minotaur's massive, muscular body, brimming with violent power, exploded.
Together with the magic stone, it turned into dust that filled the sky!
This blow was like icy water poured over the monsters that were frantically attacking the students.
All the monsters, including the floor master Goliath, froze for a moment, as if time itself had stopped! The crimson pupils of all the monsters turned in unison towards the direction from which the lightning was coming!
Feeling the pressure lessen and still shaken, the students instinctively followed the astonished gazes of Goliath and the other monsters. At the entrance to the eighteenth floor, a tall figure appeared. *Sizzle! Sizzle!*
It was a young man who looked and wasn't much older than them. He stood there quietly, with the remaining golden arcs of electricity crackling and leaping around him like dragons, outlining his handsome features.
Despite his calm demeanor, his every move exuded the absolute power to annihilate monsters. The powerful aura he brought with him made all the monsters and even the floor master, Goliath, unable to lift their heads.
His figure stood out so tall and conspicuously on the chaotic battlefield that the students seemed to see a ray of light piercing through the abyss of despair!
"The Madman!"
The students' voices rang out in ecstasy. Everyone in Orario knew the boy, especially since Roy had recently helped them expose the merchant's scam.
Lefia stared blankly at Roy's figure, then sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief, tears welling in her eyes.
After saving Lefia from the brink of death, Roy once again unleashed his magic, golden lightning surging from his palm.
呲!
Roy compressed, condensed, and shaped the raging lightning in his hand! In the blink of an eye, it formed a long, sharp sword, its blade crackling with surging electricity. The next instant!
Roy moved with incredible speed, the ground beneath his feet exploding as he charged into the surging tide of monsters, leaving a blurry afterimage in his wake!
Wherever the sword light went, it cleaved countless monsters into pieces, shattered magic stones, and turned them all to ashes!
There were no fancy techniques, only pure, extreme speed and power. The gigantic, defensively specialized Burg Bear and Minotaur appeared small, pitiful, and helpless in front of Roy.
The sniper dragonfly launched a barrage of poisonous needles, while the hellhound spewed crimson flames as it swept away.
The students felt a chill run down their spines.
With a slight thought, Roy's sword, formed from raging lightning, changed shape. The blade, like molten liquid gold, instantly stretched and extended for more than ten meters, forming a long whip.
Whoosh!
Roy flicked his wrist slightly, and the whip swept out, the resulting gust of wind scattering the poison needles and tearing apart the crimson flames spewed by the hellhound.
The scorching waves of fire were forcibly split to both sides.
The unstoppable thunderous whip, carrying terrifying power, lashed at the sniper dragonfly and hellhound. To everyone's horror, the monsters didn't even have time to utter a scream before their bodies exploded.
Roy strolled leisurely among the monsters, seemingly casually wielding his whip, each sweep tearing dozens of monsters to shreds.
An area will inevitably be cleared out!
No matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it touches the whip, even with the slightest graze, it will be pulverized.
The surging monster tide could not stop Roy's advance at all. Even the defense-specialized Goliath was cut in half by the whip.
Roar!
The little giant that had crushed the student team let out a final, unwilling, and desperate roar, and with a "bang," its two halves vanished into nothingness.
Roy's slaying of the monster was swift, decisive, and ruthless, without wasting a single ounce of energy, just like a precise and efficient machine!
The students in the school district were dumbfounded when they saw this. This was a first-level adventurer standing at the top of the pyramid. The huge gap between them could be felt even with the naked eye.
They completely overwhelmed these inexperienced students in terms of strength, skills, willpower, and experience.
How many hellish battlegrounds must one have gone through to forge oneself into such a form? The students were utterly shocked and couldn't help but swallow hard.
In less than three minutes, along with Goliath and hundreds of other monsters, they were all wiped out. Roy's gaze fell on the students. "Are you all alright?"
"Uh-huh!"
The students nodded hastily.
"Noah's Healing Power—!"
Roy treated each student individually, casting Ryu's healing magic. Although it was single-target healing and the healing speed was a bit slow, the effect was very good.
Emerald green life light appeared on the students' bodies, and their injuries gradually healed. Even the students who had taken the direct hit from Goliath regained a sliver of consciousness and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
"horrible!"
After using healing magic more than ten times, Roy showed no signs of fatigue. The students were incredulous; could this person's mental strength be limitless?
During the treatment of the students, Roy remembered something, and a strange glint flashed deep in his eyes.
It seems he stole Ais's job.
It should have been Ais who saved Lefia.
But the blonde beauty who was obsessed with getting stronger was probably spurred on by him. She frequently went on expeditions and devoted herself to the dungeon to hone her abilities. She is probably now below the fiftieth floor.
Since that's the case, Roy said he wouldn't stand on ceremony. "The Thousand Spirits," why not take it if it's free!
With Roy there, no more monsters appeared, and the group successfully entered the eighteenth floor.
The students relaxed.
The students were amazed by the spectacular scenery of the maze park, with glittering crystals surrounding the steep rock walls of the entire floor.
The ceiling is a masterpiece of nature, a creation beyond human capability.
To witness this scene, they paid a terrible price. The students were no longer excited at the beginning; they were pale and filled with regret.
Without Roy, a complete wipeout would have been inevitable.
"Take a rest for now. We'll take you with us when we return to the surface," Roy said. Compared to the Mih Familia, the students had supplies on them, so he didn't need to go through the trouble of going through the trouble again.
"Thank you so much!"
The students were deeply moved. Compared to those unreasonable, greedy, misleading, and unreliable adventurers, Roy was practically a saint!
After leaving the students and members of the Mih clan together, Roy walked alone into the depths of the forest.
Lefia hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her staff and chased after him. She needed to thank her savior privately, otherwise her conscience would not be at peace.
Roy noticed the little tagalong behind him, but didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he squatted down and picked a lot of flowers along the way, tying them into a bouquet.
"Come out!" Roy said.
A school elf with thick, golden hair stepped out and approached Roy from behind, cautiously asking, "Madman—Mr. Roy, what are you doing?"
"Just offering flowers to some useless elf," Roy said, holding the flowers and continuing on his way.
Lefia silently followed Roy through the forest, where a mound of earth came into view, with various types of weapons stuck in it, all of them battle-damaged.
Lefia looked puzzled. "Where am I?"
Roy bent down, placed the bouquet in front of the grave, and replied, "This is the grave of a former member of the Astrea Familia. That being said, there are no corpses inside. They were devoured by those monsters after they died in battle."
"Oh my god————"
Lefia looked surprised and covered her mouth.
Roy's Astria Familia was so dazzling that it overshadowed everything else, and very few people mentioned the annihilation of the former Astria Familia. Lefia had only vaguely heard about it.
Looking at Roy's calm and composed face, Lefia felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, making it hard to breathe.
Since arriving in Orario, she has heard praises of the Astrea Familia from gods, adventurers, and people everywhere she goes.
It even made her feel somewhat annoyed.
Subtly, she developed the idea that the Astrea Familia had always been this powerful.
Now that Roy brought it up, Lefia realized that this clan had an extremely tragic past!
Lefia gently bit her lower lip, her mind filled with images: the annihilation of her Familia, teetering on the brink of destruction, Roy starting from scratch, recruiting new members, raising funds, and leading the Familia to rise again—
This process must be extremely difficult!
The Astrea Familia was far from what she had imagined. Lefia blushed, feeling deeply ashamed for having previously underestimated the Familia.
Praised by the gods as the "Madman," this young man's powerful appearance is the result of countless efforts and sweat!
Just like the school district's massive ship, magnificent and imposing, but who could have imagined that after defeating the sea tyrant Leviathan, the ship would be almost completely destroyed.
It is thanks to the tireless efforts of the school district's deities, teachers, craftsmen, and others that it can now shine so brightly.
The same applies to the Astrea Familia.
It has had a brilliant history, and it has also fallen to the bottom, but through hard work, it has become strong again!
This alone is enough to make Lefia's affection for the Astrea Familia and Roy skyrocket. Bearing a heavy past and the lives of their companions, this is a familia with honor and history!
Unlike Lefia's complex emotions, Roy remained completely unmoved, while even Foo was somewhat bewildered.
Lefia looked at him, and the sadness and pity in her eyes were strange, very strange!
He was just casually offering flowers to the former members of the clan on behalf of Ryu. What on earth was the other party imagining?
This left Roy completely baffled.
Is it another useless elf?
However, the outcome should be good; Roy can sense that Lefia's favorability towards him is rising.
After resting for four or five hours, Roy led the Mih clan and the students back to the surface.
The floor master, Liya, was instantly killed by Roy. No monster in the middle and upper floors could stop them, and Roy secretly activated the device—Earth Power.
Occasionally, a monster named Zhaba Ya would pop up, but that was intentionally controlled by Roy, who would then easily kill it.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed.
The members of the Mih Familia and Lefia were dumbfounded by this phenomenon. How could they attribute the cause to Roy? This "madman" was too strong; his strength far exceeded the standards for conquering the upper and middle ranks.
Perhaps the dungeon knew that even if it caused the entire floor to collapse, it wouldn't be able to do anything to Roy.
I decided to just leave them be and let them go.
Roy led his team back to the surface safely. The moment they stepped out of the Tower of Babel and saw the light of day again, the Mihchun tribe members and Lefia and the others were moved to tears.
Only those who have experienced life-or-death crises can understand their complex Buddhist emotions now.
Even now, they are still shaken.
The teachers in the school district also learned from other students that these three teams were incredibly audacious, planning to break through several floors to reach the eighteenth floor.
Fearing something might happen, the teachers rushed over, fully equipped, ready to enter the underground city for rescue.
And so, they bumped into each other in Babel Square.
"Ten points will be deducted from everyone for this question!" The elf teacher, Maric, said sternly, barely suppressing his anger.
The twelve students simultaneously let out a mournful cry.
Lefia was also dejected, her pointed ears drooping, completely listless. She couldn't voice any objections; this was all their fault for overlooking the underground city, causing their elders to run around in circles.
Subsequently, other teachers took these problem students away for a comprehensive examination to prevent any lifelong hidden damage from Hibiki Shimomaru; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them caregivers.
When Malik looked at Roy, his tone softened, "Madman, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome," Roy said.
Maric said earnestly, "We will pay a visit later and bring a generous gift. The Astrea Familia will always be a friend of the school district."
Hearing the students' account, the teachers were terrified, realizing they had almost lost 1 students – something the school district could not afford.
For this, however much we should thank Roy and the Astrea family, they spared no effort in their service.
"The Astrea Familia is also willing to be friends with the school district," Roy laughed. Having more friends is never a bad thing; the school district has a lot of good things to offer.
"Hmm!" Malik emphasized.
Having reached a consensus, the two parted ways, with Roy sending the members of the Mih clan back to the Azure Pharmacy.
Seeing his family return unharmed, Mih was just as excited as the school district teachers, and he hugged the dog-woman Naza Elise tightly.
Mih was extremely grateful to Roy.
Roy helped the Mih Familia avoid decline; otherwise, if Naza's arm had completely died, even mermaid blood wouldn't have been effective, and they would have been burdened with debt by having the Dean Fishing Familia make a prosthetic.
Roy didn't expect the other party to give him everything in return; he just wanted him to fulfill his request diligently.
Relying on his powers, Roy entered the dungeon very quickly, but when he came back up, he had to take care of the Mih Familia and the students in the school district, which took about two days.
This time was enough for Mih to prepare the elixir.
Upon entering the inner room of the pharmacy, Roy obtained the specially prepared elixir, a crystal-clear sky-blue liquid, resembling a precious gem, swaying within the bottle.
Title: Celestial Elixir Grade: Legendary Description: Upon consumption, it permanently increases energy, restores 80% of maximum stamina and spirit, accelerates recovery, heals injuries, cures diseases, prolongs life, regenerates severed limbs, provides satiety (no need to eat for ten days), and, depending on individual aptitude, has a certain probability of awakening magic.
Note: The effect is correspondingly lower when consumed separately.
Note: This product is for use only by members of the Astrea Familia. It will have no effect on other people.
Roy held the elixir in his hand, and the system's analysis panel popped up in front of him. Fuli was secretly shocked. What a powerful effect! Even if he was left with only one breath, he could probably be fully revived after drinking the Heavenly Elixir!
One World Tree fruit can be used to make three bottles of elixirs, with the effects enhanced by at least 30%. Different ingredients can be combined and perfectly blended to maximize the effect of each ingredient, resulting in a synergistic effect where one plus one is greater than two.
