683 【Fierce】

"……Hello."

Just after Li Ge stopped, not long after, Bert, who had been bickering with Tiona, also stopped.

He straightened his nose, shook his ears, and then, as an orc with keen senses, conveyed a message to everyone present.

"A group of people ran over. They were in a panic and smelled of blood. There was probably something wrong."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped.

"There are indeed people."

Aisi gently held the hilt of the sword tied around her waist and spoke like this.

The rest of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they all looked forward, looking at a fork in the road not far away.

On that fork in the road, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of panic-like footsteps.

After a while, a group of adventurers who looked panicked and were more or less injured rushed out of the fork in the road as if they were being chased by monsters.

"Stand there for me! Xiaoka!"

Bert took a step forward and blocked the way of this group of adventurers. Not only did he speak harshly, but his expression was also full of contempt and disdain.

"You, you are [Verowolf]...!?"

The adventurers were blocked, and they were about to yell angrily, but they were suddenly shocked when they saw Bert's appearance clearly, and he actually showed an expression that didn't know whether to be scared or happy.

"[Sword Princess]!"

"[Brave]!"

"[Nine Demon Queens]!"

"[Big Cut] and [Angry Snake]...!"

"Even, even that new monster guy is here!"

"It's the Loki Juan clan!"

"The Loki Juan clan is coming!"

When the other adventurers saw the heavily armed Lige and his party appearing here, they were first shocked on the spot, and then they all showed overjoyed expressions.

That look was like seeing a savior.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

Tiona didn't put on any airs and greeted the scarred adventurers as usual.

"What happened?"

Finn also stood up and intervened on his behalf.

The adventurers didn't hide anything, and told one thing with pale faces.

"There are, there are monsters from the middle class who came to the upper class!"

“And it’s a large species!”

"That monster is killing the junior adventurers on the upper level like crazy!"

"There are still people trying to fight that monster! Go and save him!"

The adventurers explained the situation one by one, making everyone's expressions change.

"No way?" Tione was shocked and murmured: "Is something abnormal really happening?"

The monsters on the middle floor ran to the upper floor and massacred the junior adventurers. This was undoubtedly an abnormal situation.

No one expected that the vanguard troops sent as a precaution would actually come in handy when the situation arose.

"Tsk! That's why I'm talking about you little guys..."

Bert cursed, not knowing whether he was unhappy with the pale and panic-stricken faces of the adventurers, or because he was anxious about the abnormal situation.

"Where is that monster now?"

Riveria asked directly.

"It's on the 9th floor!"

When this answer came from the adventurer's mouth, Finn immediately gave the order.

"Li Ge, Ace, Bert."

The leader of the small human tribe named the three people with the fastest feet among all the people present.

"pound!"

Suddenly, Li Ge seemed to have been prepared. He took the lead in crushing the ground under his feet, raising a burst of sand, flying out with a shock wave, and disappeared in front of the fork in the road.

"…………!"

Ais was the second to react and saw that Li Ge had already rushed out. She immediately turned into a gust of wind and sprinted forward at high speed.

"Tch, it's really going to cause trouble for people."

Bert still looked unhappy, but his movements were not slow at all. He caught up with Ais in a few sprints, and his speed was obviously higher than Ais.

The three first-level adventurers quickly disappeared, leaving Tiona and Tione unable to catch up even if they wanted to. One could only stomp in place while the other held his arms with an unhappy look on his face.

"You should return to the ground now and report the abnormal situation to the guild."

Finn gave instructions to the adventurers, then raised his gun and greeted everyone.

"Let's go, let's follow."

Everyone nodded in unison and followed Finn, running quickly through the maze.

…………

"laugh……!"

This is a dull sound breaking through the air.

At this moment, Li Ge exerted his "agility" ability to the limit in the current state. He really set off a shock wave while charging forward. The speed was so fast that the entire passage of the maze was thrown into the air. The sand and dust filled it up, reducing visibility by several notches.

"Ji ah ah ah...!"

Along the way, the monsters that had been attracted by the mighty charge just raised their heads, with fierce gleams in their eyes, and then were blown away by the incoming shock wave, hitting the wall one by one like garbage. , it was smashed to pieces, with no bones left.

It was impossible for these weak monsters with a classification level of Level 1 to block the shock wave, causing Li Ge's figure to be covered by the dust and air currents in the sky, completely disappearing.

The reason why he was rushing forward in such a rapid pace was not because Li Ge wanted to save people.

He knew that the adventurers who were fighting the large-scale monsters that broke into the upper level were in danger, but nothing would happen to them.

Because this is an arranged trial.

Because this was a planned attack.

Therefore, Li Ge charged like this not to disrupt this arrangement and this trial, but for the person who followed the witch's divine will, created this trial with his own hands, and guarded it.

Thinking of that person, the corners of Li Ge's mouth curled up slightly, and the fighting spirit in his heart rose slightly, causing his speed to increase a few points out of thin air.

With such speed, Li Ge quickly entered the 8th floor, and even quickly entered the 9th floor, arriving at the destination floor.

There is an eerie silence here, and there is an unnatural atmosphere everywhere, as if the aboriginal people (monsters) who originally lived here are afraid of the violent incarnation that breaks into this place, and they all disappear in unison.

"Brother, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...!"

Until a certain moment, a roar of filial piety came.

That was not the roar of a wild beast, nor the roar of a monster, but the roar of a ferocious ox.

The roar of filial piety was so deafening that the ceiling was sprinkled with dust, telling others what kind of power the owner of the roar of filial piety was.

That is definitely not something that a Level 1 monster can send out, and even a normal Level 2 monster can't send out such a powerful roar.

The monster that appeared in front was so violent and violent, even compared with the crocodile dragon that Li Ge killed earlier, it was probably not far behind.

Encountering such a monster, a mere Level 1 junior adventurer has only two options.

Ichijo turned around and ran away, risking his life to escape.

One was shot dead on the spot, but his body was not intact.

Of course, it’s not like there aren’t people who rely on their own strengths to carve out a bloody path and find a third path.

In the past, this was the case for Rige who challenged the Crocodile Dragon with a classification level of Level 2 as a Level 1 person.

Now, there is a man in front of him who is making the impossible possible, creating miracles, and taking heroic risks just like Li Ge.

Li Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly stopped.

"Help...help..."

In front of Li Ge, a young girl with severe bleeding on her forehead and serious injuries appeared as she ran towards her precariously.

The girl is a little human like Finn, petite in stature, with chestnut hair and eyes. She looks childish yet cute.

This little human girl ran over while shaking her body, as if she might lose consciousness at any time, half-opening a pair of childlike eyes, and shouted to the surroundings.

"Who comes...who comes to save us...save Lord Bell...!"

The little human girl who begged like this quickly fell to the ground.

Li Ge stepped forward, squatted down in front of the opponent, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the opponent's body.

"Snapped!"

The other party seemed to feel Li Ge's presence, and her whole body trembled. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed Li Ge's hand that was pressing on her body.

"Please...save that adult...please..."

The girl was weeping and pleading unconsciously, as if she had some obsession that she couldn't let go of, which was touching.

"Do not worry."

Seeing this, Li Ge looked at the girl intently for a while and said something.

"He'll be fine."

Hearing this, the other party seemed to have completely relaxed the tension in his heart. The hand that had been holding Lige with all his strength lost strength, and he also lost consciousness.

"[Slander Treatment]."

Li Ge immediately activated his healing magic, letting the dim light shine on the little human girl's body, treating the injury on her forehead.

After doing this, Li Ge put the little human girl aside and let her stay here against the wall.

"My companion is behind, and the monsters on this floor have all been frightened away by the uninvited guests. So, you stay here and wait for someone to take you out."

As if he was speaking to the little human girl, Li Ge whispered this, then stood up again and rushed towards the front of the phosphorescent passage.

Li Ge, who looked through several passages and cave rooms in front of him, had already seen it in his eyes that were shining with transparent luster.

I saw the figure standing at the end of the road, as heavy and strong as a hill.

"Stop."

A voice that was not indifferent, but heavy as if he was releasing overwhelming pressure, sounded there and reached Li Ge's ears.

"Peng!"

Only then did Li Ge stop his steps as if a falling stream of light set off an explosion, blowing away all the sand, gravel and turbulence, and appeared in front of the opponent.

"————"

The air suddenly became extremely depressing.

Li Ge and the person standing in front of the spacious cave passage, blocking his way, confronted each other.

The man was wearing heavy armor, but because his muscular body, which was more than two meters tall, was like a giant rock, with muscles bulging everywhere, it felt incredible that the heavy armor could actually be worn through the light armor.

His face is as solid as stone, his body is like steel, and his strong limbs made of thick muscles are as thick as blunt weapons, which is terrifying to look at.

He has short earth-red hair, earth-red eyes, and a pair of animal ears on his head.

Those are the ears of the pig man, who is famous for his bravery.

"...I see, it's you who's here?"

The pigman adventurer stood straight in front of Lige, with a huge backpack on his left shoulder, completely blocking Lige's way.

"Well, you and I will meet sooner or later, and meeting here may not be too abrupt."

The strongest pigman said so, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

"You can stop here, Lige Brihaut."

The only Lv.7 in Orario, known as the ultimate weapon of the city, the strongest in the city, and the "top" above many first-level adventurers--Ota.

The leader and leader of the Freya scroll tribe appeared in front of Lige and made eye contact with Lige.

Seeing this, Lige suddenly smiled.

"You are here, [Mengzhe]."

Lige's words made Ota narrow his earth-red eyes.

"...It seems that you knew I was here from the beginning."

Ota spoke in a deep voice.

"Do you think you can hide it from everyone?" Lige said with a smile: "The leader of the hostile faction has been wandering in the middle level of the dungeon recently, playing with monsters. Do you think we don't know this kind of news?"

"...That's right." Ota was silent for a while, and then said indifferently: "You (Loki Scroll Clan) can't not care about my whereabouts. I took it for granted."

"But, don't even think about passing through here."

The pig adventurer's voice was not loud, but the unquestionable words echoed around like an unshakable force.

In response, Lige actually said this.

"It doesn't matter." Lige said very calmly: "Anyway, I'm not interested in the game of the goddess of beauty, not to mention that the ending has been predetermined, it doesn't matter whether you get through or not."

This made Ota narrow his eyes again.

"Have you figured out the will of the great goddess like us?"

The sense of oppression in Ota's voice became stronger.

If it were someone else, facing this oppressive feeling that seemed to crush a huge rock, even the first-level adventurers in the city would sweat involuntarily.

Lige took it head-on and looked normal.

"Isn't it just that your goddess used her "eyes" to take a fancy to the soul of a poor guy, and in order to make that person grow up, become stronger, and emit more soul radiance, so she deliberately arranged this trial for you?" Lige said indifferently.

"For that person, she also specially sent the [White Demon Wand] and [Black Demon Sword] to train him, and then asked you to go to the middle level to choose a monster, bring it to the upper level, and become his trial opponent."

"That's why you linger in the middle level and keep playing with monsters that are far weaker than you, and the two most fierce magic swordsmen have been seen dragging a wounded person to be treated recently, right?"

"It's really hard for you. "

Lige spoke sarcastically.

"It must be unpleasant to play house with the willful Lord God, right?"

Hearing this, Ota fell silent.

The next second, Ota grabbed the backpack on his shoulder, tore the cloth, and took out a bunch of weapons from it.

"Swish!"

Ota stabbed the weapons one by one on the ground and held one of them.

"Let's fight."

Ota declared.

"You are also a person that the goddess pays special attention to. Let me measure your capacity."

For this, Lige's answer was as if it had been decided at the beginning.

"It's just what I want."

Lige gently pulled out the crystal sword tied at his waist and pointed it at the ground.

"Speaking of which, I still have a debt to settle with you."

Lige was referring to the incident in the past when he was attacked by the Freya Scroll Clan in Orario and had a feud with the [Goddess's Chariot].

"Let me collect some interest first. "

With a transparent glow in his eyes, Liger exuded a fighting spirit as fierce as a storm.

"Very good."

Feeling that fighting spirit, Ota was surprised and aroused his fighting spirit.

Thus, the fierce battle between the two strongest adventurers in Orario began.
