Hope in Another World 110

Title: The Dance of the Dragon Slayer

In the Dragon’s Jar.

A strong gust of wind came from the hole that pierced through several floors, like a strong air current at high altitude, causing a bone-piercing pain like an ice blade.

And hundreds of meters away, in a vast cave chamber, dozens of giants stood side by side, staring up at the sky, with extremely bright light illuminating their eyes.

Seeing those dozens of giants, Lefiya’s heart trembled repeatedly.

Dragons are one of the most powerful creatures in any world. This theorem also applies to the Danmachi World. All adventurers believe that among monsters with the same level in the Dungeon, the most powerful existence is the dragon.

Except for the Floor Boss. Otherwise, if there were a dragon monster on the floor, this dragon monster would definitely be the most powerful creature on this floor.

Therefore, adventurers collectively call them monster kings because of their fear of dragon monsters.

At this moment, Lefiya saw that monster king.

Moreover, he was the monster king of Floor 58.

“ROOOOAAAARRRR—!”

Amidst the earth-shaking roar of the dragon, dozens of Valgang Dragons lined up on Floor 58, roaring towards Shun and Lefiya in the distance.

More than ten meters long, larger than the Goliath on Floor 17. The Valgang Dragons stood on two legs but had no wings.

Lefiya could guarantee that even a Floor Boss like Goliath would be shattered to pieces without any resistance in front of the Valgang Dragons.

Seeing the Valgang Dragons roaring upwards, Lefiya suppressed the fear in her heart and carefully observed their movements and trajectories.

The monster was the culprit who turned the area starting from Floor 52 into hell. The Valgang Dragons could breathe fireballs and perform bombings. Their bombings could bombard the ground from Floor 52 to Floor 57.

Therefore, as soon as an adventurer stepped onto Floor 52, the Valgang Dragons would react and launch merciless sniper shots at the enemy five or six floors away. Once entering Floor 52, the adventurers’ enemies were no longer limited to monsters on one floor as before. Starting from Floor 52, the Dungeon’s common sense no longer applied.

The Valgang Dragons, over ten meters long, roared collectively and slowly opened their ferocious mouths full of fangs. Among them, a powerful jet of flames began to appear, condensing and forming in their mouths, and turning into large fireballs.

Lefiya immediately tensed up at this sight.

“Takema-sama!”

She panicked and shouted, as she shifted her gaze, a group of Valgang Dragons below pointed their muzzles directly upwards, spewing out burning flames.

The fireballs immediately blasted the ceiling above the Valgang Dragons, which was the ground on Floor 57, blasting floor after floor, rising into the sky, and heading towards Shun and Lefiya, who were floating in the air.

And this wasn’t over, the Valgang Dragons flew with their terrifying flames, and at the same time, the Ill Wyverns that lived in the Dragon’s Jar also came to fight the outsiders.

At the same time, Lefiya pointed not far away and exclaimed:

“Takema-sama! Ill Wyverns! That’s a group of Ill Wyverns!”

From the horizontal hole connecting the vertical hole like an anthill, many Ill Wyverns flapped their wings and flew out.

This kind of flying monster would attack adventurers through the vertical caves opened by the Valgang Dragons’ fireballs, and the worst part was…

Ill Wyverns liked to attack in groups.

At a glance, there were at least hundreds of Ill Wyverns diving towards the two of them!

Just as there were vertical holes in the Middle Floors that could connect the Upper and Lower Floors, the Valgang Dragons would forcibly open vertical holes on Floors 52 to 58.

Then, on each connected floor, other types of monsters would appear.

In other words, this was another floor-neglecting attack.

The Valgang Dragons and Ill Wyverns, collectively known as the Monster Kings, were the factors that turned Floors 52 to 58 into hell.

Therefore, Zeus Familia, who once set foot here, called this area the Dragon’s Jar.

The Valgang Dragons’ roar triggered a burst of flames, compressed between their ferocious fangs. The Ill Wyverns’ roar turned into waves, echoing throughout the labyrinth.

While the Valgang Dragons on Floor 58 continued to prepare to bombard the Loki Familia First-Class Adventurers who were speeding on Floor 52, a dense group of Ill Wyverns flew from the horizontal holes on Floors 56 and 57, rushed out, passed through the vertical holes, and surrounded Shun and Lefiya.

Hundreds of Ill Wyverns could even tear apart several Level 5 adventurers.

And below them were countless Valgang Dragons.

There was no doubt that this was a very dangerous situation.

At this moment, the Loki Familia members above couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Especially Aiz, Tiona, and Tione, who rushed to the top of the Dragon’s Jar’s large hole. They almost unconsciously jumped down to save them.

Riveria, who had sealed the master-slave contract, immediately stopped them.

“Don’t go down and cause trouble. Shun can handle this level of attack.”

Sure enough, as Riveria’s words fell, a dazzling purple light appeared from the Dragon’s Jar.

First, there was a skull-shaped skeleton, then the skeleton was covered with meridians and flesh. The lower body and legs were condensed, wrapped in chakra like a cloak, and gradually condensed into Karasu Tengu armor and a flaming purple sword.

Finally, large purple light wings grew dozens of meters long, and the entire Dragon’s Jar became a stage for Susano’o to fly!

Finn immediately reacted and shouted:

“Hurry!”

“Take this opportunity to rush to Floor 58, where we will meet Shun!”

Finn held his spear and turned into the front line and rushed down, then everyone started running fast with serious faces.

All he saw were dozens of large fireballs, almost as powerful as the Valgang Dragons’ attacks, coming towards him.

Shun had been warned by his intuition, not surprised. Magatama no Yasaka appeared in Susano’o’s left hand. The magatama condensed into an almost solid form and was thrown by him.

*WHOOSH!*

As Magatama no Yasaka flew, a stream of purple light fell like rain, directly facing the flames of the Valgang Dragons below.

Magatama no Yasaka and the fireballs collided violently, and the tremendous force instantly shattered the fireballs that were strong enough to melt steel and explode.

*BOOOMMMM!*

The deafening explosion caused waves of flames to fly in all directions, but Susano’o continued to fly towards Floor 58.

A series of sword lights that looked like sun discs were slashed towards the group of Ill Wyverns surrounding him.

The Ill Wyverns and Susano’o engaged in a fierce high-speed aerial battle. The sword was swung with a dazzling flash. The Ill Wyverns screamed loudly and lost their magic stones, turning into piles of dust.

A large gray rain sprinkled by the Ill Wyverns in the Dragon’s Jar showed Susano’o. Taking this opportunity, Shun hugged her and rushed out of the Ill Wyverns’ encirclement.

Soon, a crimson world appeared in Lefiya’s eyes.

It was the bottom of the Dragon’s Jar, Floor 58.

This was also the endpoint that had been explored so far by strong Familias like Zeus Familia and Loki Familia.

Unlike the Upper Floors, there were no labyrinths or corridors here. The entire floor was a vast wilderness with only rocks on the ground and no other trees or rivers.

The whole world here was colored red.

The monsters made a mess here, like a real hell!

Shun hugged Lefiya and landed on a secluded patch of land. As he landed, spiderweb-like cracks spread on the ground before the monsters around him could attack, crisscrossing sword lights spread across the wasteland.

Blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere. This situation inspired the wildness of all the monsters.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Valgang Dragons all over Floor 58, Ill Wyverns chasing in the sky, and other local monster troops like an endless ocean, covered the two people in the middle.

The scene of death and horror was clearly visible before their eyes.

At this moment, amidst Susano’o, Shun, whose one hand was wrapped around Lefiya’s slender waist, asked gently and unhurriedly:

“Lefiya, an adventurer’s skills are inspired by their nature and experiences during their adventures, right?”

“That’s what the gods said.” Lefiya tightened her legs with white stockings, couldn’t help but rub them a little, and replied with a slightly red face: “I did hear that there are people in the Familia who acquire targeted skills by fighting Minotaurs.”

“Then… It’s time to really try it!”

Therefore, Shun tried his best to operate Sun Breathing.

From Lefiya’s perspective, Shun at this moment seemed to merge with a natural and spiritual small sun.

In an instant, large trees reaching the sky emerged from the ground, and hundreds of wooden dragons surrounded the entire Floor 59, fighting and pushing all the monsters towards the center.

And Susano’o threw the magatama, holding the purple sword with both hands, and strong wind and sun flames flared on the sword.

The perfect Susano’o swung a sword dance in the sea of dragons!

❀❀❀

The team that experienced Lefiya and Shun’s fall was very heavy and serious.

Almost everyone didn’t dare to speak in such a terrifying atmosphere.

The Amazoness sisters with increasingly fierce eyes opened the way regardless of their injuries. Aiz’s attacks became like rain, turning into arrows from the entire camp and continuously clearing the obstacles in front of them.

The team’s pace accelerated from Floors 53 and 54, and gradually the entire team realized something was wrong.

If it was because of the initial explosion, then the subsequent speed was entirely due to the decreasing number of Ill Wyverns.

The Ill Wyverns, who had once posed a major obstacle, suddenly disappeared, causing Finn and the others to frown.

However, the current situation didn’t allow them to think too much. The team led by Aiz rushed through the remaining floors without encountering any obstacles.

When the entire team arrived, everyone was almost choked and silent when they saw the scene in front of them.

The endless Ill Wyverns and Valgang Dragons were confined to this floor by giant wooden dragons, and the purple giant in the middle, surrounded and slaughtering the sea of dragons, was truly triggering a doomsday-like sword dance.

At this moment, a black sword reflecting cold light suddenly appeared, and the light of the sword m flashed in the middle of the vortex that enveloped the Valgang Dragons and Ill Wyverns.

Then it danced in all directions like a violent storm, and exploded in the middle of the battlefield, spreading and spinning in all directions like the broken moonlight on the river.

Wherever this sword light with wind and fire abilities passed, it would be able to kill the Valgang Dragons or Ill Wyverns.

The turbulent sword light and the collection of bright red blood rolled into the sky together, mixing into a beautiful downpour.

This was a beautiful swordsmanship that could cover the bright stars.

Susano’o’s sword dance finished in the blink of an eye.

Like a dream, the sword dance that was unlike the human world stopped, and the entire Floor 58 returned to calm.

*CRACK!*

The sound of being cut and broken echoed on this floor.

There was no bloodshed.

There were no severed bodies or limbs.

After the Valgang Dragons the size of skyscrapers were cut to pieces, they immediately turned into floating ashes in a horrifying destruction.

For the first time in countless years, the Dragon’s Jar, which had caused the deaths of many High-Class Adventurers, fell into a deadly silence.
