บท 420: Fallen Spirit 1

12 hours.

It was the time that they had been fighting.

Tsukasa had never thought that he would fight so long, and he was also quite speechless by the dungeon since it kept summoning monsters.

The monsters were unstoppable, and they never stopped coming in their direction.

Fortunately, it had ended, and all the monsters on the 58th Floor had been massacred by the four.

Well, mostly, they were killed by Tsukasa since his killing speed was just too unbelievable.

Still, Lefiya couldn't stand it anymore and passed out after six hours because of exhaustion. In the end, she had to be carried by Tsukasa.

As for Gareth and Tiona, they were still able to fight up, but they must admit, they were also dead tired.

Fortunately, they were able to clean up all of the monsters.

Everything was cleaned up, leaving only the drop items from the monsters.

Tsukasa wasn't sure why, but he felt he was playing a video game. He was like a player in the RPG game, staying up late at night, and fighting with many monsters, so his experience point could increase.

Tsukasa, Tiona, and Gareth didn't bother with politeness or anything. When everything ended, they just sat on the ground while panting. Still, he was better since he still retained his stamina. However, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so it was better to recover his stamina as soon as possible.

"Are you alright?" Lefiya had also woken up and asked him worriedly.

"Get me water," Tsukasa said.

"Here."

"Thanks." Tsukasa drank the water with a gulp.

"Young one, can you give me water too?" Gareth asked.

"Me too, Lefiya."

"Okay. Okay." Lefiya felt she couldn't help much, and passed out in the middle, so she tried to help them as much as she could.

"Tsukasa!"

It wasn't a moment later that Ais came with everyone. They passed through to the 58th Floor using the proper route. Still, it didn't mean they had a good time since their appearance was all messy, showing their sorry state.

However, they must admit when they came, they were dumbfounded by the scene before them.

"You alright?" Ais asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Tsukasa nodded before he stood up. He wanted to rest, but he knew this wasn't an appropriate place to do so, considering this wasn't a safe point.

"Did you clear this place up?" Finn suddenly asked.

"Most of them were killed by him." Gareth pointed at Tsukasa.

"......"

"So amazing..." Tsubaki was dumbfounded.

Even though Tsukasa might be one of the Level 6 among the group, Finn and Riveria didn't think that they were able to copy what he had done.

Instead, even if they were all Level 6, they had their specialties.

If Gareth was the ultimate power and defense, Riveria would be the ultimate magic, Finn would be a versatile type, then Tsukasa would be the ultimate attacker.

In other words, in the matter of killing, the three of them couldn't match him.

Yet they didn't feel frustrated. Instead, they felt happy since they knew that the Loki Familia had become even stronger.

However, some of them were frustrated, such as Bete, who could feel the distance between them, making him want to work harder.

Still, while Tsukasa could move on to the 59th Floor, he had been waiting for everyone since he had something to tell them. "Say, Finn, you said that the 59th Floor is known as the Glacier Territory, right?"

"That's right." Finn frowned and asked, "Did you notice anything wrong?"

"Well, if it's known as the Glacier Territory, why isn't it cold?" Tsukasa asked since he had noticed the abnormality on the 59th Floor.

"!!!"

Finn approached the entrance that would lead to the 59th Floor and touched his hand against the ground. Instead of a cold, he didn't feel anything at all. The temperature was quite normal, which made it abnormal. After all, according to the record left by the Zeus Familia, the cold would be enough to freeze the movement of the first-class adventurers.

"Do you think there's something up?" Riveria asked with a frown.

"I don't know, but it is hard to say that the Zeus Familia was exaggerating."

"Captain, what should we do?" Raul was already shaking in fear.

Finn was in deep thought for a moment before he made his decision. "We'll head down in an hour."

Everyone nodded and didn't question Finn's decision.

However, Tsukasa asked whether something was happening along their path before.

"Yeah, there was someone in the black clock controlling the green caterpillar monster to attack us," Alicia said with a lingering fear. If they didn't have his magic weapons and attacked from a long distance, she knew that they would have been troubled.

"Then, what about that person?" For some reason, Tsukasa felt this person might have something to do with the attacker that appeared on the 18th Floor in the past. It might also have something to do with the Evilus they talked about after he returned.

"That person disappeared, using Riveria's ice magic as a cover," Tione said while gritting her teeth.

If they weren't troubled by that trouble, they could arrive faster.

Still, this wasn't the time to discuss this matter anymore. Instead, they had to focus on the 59th Floor in front of them. Unlike their previous Floor, this was a place that no one, not even gods, had ever seen.

What's even worse, they knew that something was happening, and it definitely wasn't something good.

However, were they afraid?

Probably.

However, they also didn't doubt that they were filled with excitement since they were about to achieve something that could be written in history.

After an hour, they walked down the stairs toward the 59th Floor.

Unlike the cold temperature that they had expected, they only felt the temperature was quite cold and humid.

His nose smelled something sweet, which made him feel strange.

"Huh? Jungle?"

When they arrived on the 59th Floor, it wasn't the glacier terrain that they had seen. Instead, they saw a jungle similar to the 24th Floor. They walked carefully, observing their surroundings.

"Hey, did you hear a voice?"

"It's coming from ahead of us."

Finn was silent for a moment before he said, "Moving forward."

They didn't hesitate and stepped forward, but what welcomed them wasn't a forest anymore. What they saw in front of them was a large area covered with the ashes of countless dead monsters, making the whole area a gray color.

In the middle of it, a large plant-type monster is seemingly sleeping, but it moved its tentacles to grab any monsters it could, eating them voraciously. It kept eating and eating without stopping even if it saw its appearance.

"That monster has evolved into one of those jewel orbs, too, hasn't it?" Lefiya suddenly said.

'Jewel orb?' Tsukasa thought for a moment and remembered Ais's story when she told everyone that the massive plant woman monster originated from a strange orb. Previously, it was planned to parasitize on Ais, but she dodged it, and in the end, it parasitized the plant-eating monster.

However, this time the jewel was able to parasitize the strongest monster in this place.

"The orb has parasitized the Corpse Flower, Titan Arum."

The monster kept eating the monsters' Magic Stones without stopping.

At that moment, everyone reached one conclusion, this monster planned to evolve!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Suddenly, the monster stopped eating and released a strange yet feminine voice. Its body expanded as it cried before transforming into a beautiful woman's figure.

The woman had green skin, half of the body made of plants, and a humongous body that reached 50 meters or more.

"........" Tsukasa was speechless, but he was even speechless when he heard the words that came out from the monster and Ais.

"Aria!" The female monster grinned while looking at Ais.

Ais was shocked, and her body trembled as she said, "No way... a Spirit?"

'Spirit?'
