บท 23: Level 1??
Chapter 23
There was some rustling friction of earth, the walls transformed to a light green color, and the dungeon's structure began to change.
They are standing in a place similar to a cave, with a square-sized open space in the middle.
"Squeak!!"
One after another, scalp-tingling monsters appeared out of the walls. This scene gave Sirius some creeps. The large swamp of ant-like monsters would probably frighten a person with insect-phobia.
These monsters are called killer ants; they are large red monsters with four legs and two arms.
A killer ant has a hard shell and high attack and can use pheromones to attract companions in a pinch.
Along with War Shadow, they are known as a "newbie killer" for slaying a lot of newcomers.
So, it is very tricky for a newbie adventurer to deal with them.
Before they can break the monster's defense, it is easy for the adventurer to get hurt by the claws.
Newcomers, who are used to fighting weaker monsters on the lower floor, often end up being killed by killer ants because of underestimation or lack of sufficient preparation.
"This is bad… this number…."
Raul was dumbfounded, looking at more than 20 ant-like monsters emerging from the dungeon wall. He never expected the situation to get so bad so quickly.
This number is almost close to the size of a small "monster party."
Raul's eyes twitched in annoyance after encountering such an unfortunate event in front of the seventh-floor entrance.
"Monster Party" refers to a phenomenon, usually forming from the tenth floor, where many monsters appear in a specific space in a short period.
Once this happens, the aforementioned place will be filled with many monsters in a short time.
This is the usual way for the dungeon to deal fatal damage to the tired and exhausted adventurers.
Although they are only at the entrance of the seventh floor, 20 killer ants are not something to be trifled with.
What's more, these ant-like monsters can call for help.
Although they do not issue a loud sound or anything, a killer ant can send a distress signal by releasing a scent similar to pheromones in times of crisis.
For rookie adventurers, this is undoubtedly a significant challenge. They have no way to deal with such many killer ants.
Initially, Raul wanted to bring Sirius to have a good look at the unique characteristic monster of the seventh floor- killer ants.
He wanted to make Sirius suffer from setbacks at the hand of the killer ants.
But, they hadn't even had the time to enter inside when a large swarm of killer ants surrounded them.
"Sirius, retreat or stay? The stairs leading to the sixth floor are behind us, so what do you say…?" Raul put his hand on the hilt and asked.
He was just a bit concerned about their situation, not too worried.
After all, why do their seniors often accompany newcomers of powerful familia into the dungeon?
This is to prevent such accidents in the dungeon, resulting in the newcomer's unfortunate death.
If Sirius chose to turn back and retreat, that would be the best course of action.
However, it is also possible for him to stay and challenge the monsters head-on.
An adventurer can only get stronger by challenging themselves!
After all, there is a level 4 adventurer behind Serius in terms of safety.
If there is no external help, an increase in the adventurer's level brings absolute suppression to a lower level.
Not to mention twenty killer ants. Even if they appear twice the number, Raul has no significant threat.
"Of course, stay…." Sirius replied without any hesitation. How could he miss such a good challenge!
Raul froze after hearing this reply and couldn't help but curse. He somehow expected this answer but still couldn't hide his surprise.
"What the hell are you thinking about?" Raul was confused but still got ready for combat. He didn't want Sirius to have an accident.
"Well, I have another magic trick, brother Raul! So, I wanted to try it out now. What do you think?" After saying this, Sirius held his spear and took a stance.
When Raul heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A newcomer awakened two magic just after obtaining the falna???
'It's no wonder that captain Finn asked me to protect him.' Raul realized his captain's intention. But, he couldn't help feeling a bit sour in envy.
Sirius didn't know anything about Raul's mood. There was no time for him to focus on trivial matters.
He took a deep breath and tried to feel the energy inside his body.
Then, he concentrated and sang a chant to release his magic!
"Illuminate the sky(Orionids)!!"
After Sirius finished the chant, mana lifted from its shackles within his body.
Swish!
Suddenly, a star-like brilliance bloomed under his feet, shrouding his entire body in the glittering light.
But, the intense light only lasted for a second and soon dissipated, turning into sparkling starlight around him.
Sirius felt the increase in his strength due to magic.
A silvery-blue aura surrounded his body.
His blond hair was dyed with distinctive silver coloration and rose up in the absence of wind.
Serius's clear blue pupils also flickered with some distinctive brilliance. (PS: Somewhat similar to Goku's Ultra Instinct)
An overwhelming sense of power occupied his entire body, making him addicted.
Then, he soon regained his senses and tried to understand the effect of his magic.
His magic also has the effect of enhancement!
By blessing his weapon and the body with the magic, he can temporarily increase their strength, speed, and physical prowess.
Sirius concluded that his magic was scarce and powerful after looking at this effect.
There are various ways for him to develop and use this magic.
What he is doing now is directly covering his entire body with the magic, which is crude and wasteful.
"But it's enough for now…."
Sirius clenched his silver-grey spear and summoned a faint-blue flame on the tip, distorting the surrounding atmosphere due to the high temperature.
His magic also has the effect of summoning stellar flame, which is very high in temperature and has an additional light attribute.
When the killer ants saw the human in front of them summon such a terrifying flame, their bodies started trembling instinctively.
Although Killer ants have low intelligence, that does not mean their instinct is unreliable.
They feel that if this flame befalls them, they will die instantly.
Even so, the killer ants didn't mean to retreat. The simple-minded monsters who had no awe for dangers kept staring at Sirius.
Some of them even started making some noises. They released pheromones as a distress signal, hoping that more of their species would arrive for help.
The killer ants instinctively reached the best conclusion in the face of danger.
"Sirius, they are calling for help!" Raul was very familiar with killer ants and instantly understood their intention.
"Well, I see…." Sirius nodded.
He understood Raul's intention.
He needs to quickly deal with them before their help arrives!
Raul would also do the same if he was in Sirius's position.
His magic is strong, but it has significant physical and mental consumption equally.
The recovery effect of the skill "Heart Of Gaia" is not enough to cover up such a massive drain of energy.
"...I'll handle them!"
After saying this, Sirius felt excited in front of the challenge.
He felt the overwhelming magical power spreading throughout his body and looked at his enemies.
"This is a moment for me to shine!"
Sirius grinned and pointed the tip of his spear at the swarm of killer ants and quickly found a spot where they were most concentrated.
He quickly sprinted, and the ground beneath him exploded, setting off a gust of wind.
His spear carried the momentum of a meteor strike! It had the intention to piece through his enemies!
After he was some distance from the killer ants, Sirius threw the spear with all his might.
"Orionids!!!"
A loud noise resounded throughout the passageway, and an ethereal blue radiance ravaged the passage, illuminating the place.
The silver-white brilliance almost occupied the whole area and spread out some faint blue flames here and there.
The strong impact even made the walls of the dungeon start to crumble.
Raul stood near the stairway, spreading his hand to resist the storm.
The intense light from before almost blinded his eyes.
It took a while before the attack subsided.
When Raul opened his eyes, he was stunned to look at the devastated surrounding, with fragments of magic stones scattered all over the place.
"Don't tell me that… this is a level 1 attack???"
Raul had a feeling of being deceived. He had never seen a newbie level 1 adventurer this powerful in his entire life.
