The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 125

Title: Entering the Middle Floors

Spirits, like elves, are a race with strong magical ties.

But unlike elves, the number of spirits is very rare, and they are more mysterious than elves. They can even control the wind and rain, transform stone into gold, etc.

Just as Demi-Humans are divided into several races, spirits are also divided into various branches such as fire spirits, water spirits, light spirits, etc. Among them, earth spirits, who excel in crafting gold and silver jewelry, can integrate well into the human race.

Fire spirits, namely salamanders, are also called fire dragons, creating protective garments with strong defenses against fire and high temperatures, and can also protect against the cold.

Similarly, Water Spirit protective garments are waterproof and can also dissipate high temperatures, making them very effective in resisting heat.

Although the protective garments made by spirits, the “God’s Clones.” are not extremely strong, they have very powerful effects on a single attribute.

Line and Lefiya were having a lively discussion. As an elf, Lefiya clearly admired spirits very much.

Hoshiharu said nothing.

Pretend to understand.

He was really a country bumpkin, and his understanding of the world was almost non-existent. To avoid seeming too out of place in this situation, he could only choose to remain silent and pretend to be an expert.

“Are you ready?”

Hoshiharu put on the Fire Dragon protective garment, fully prepared, and looked at the other two.

“No problem.”

Line had also changed her clothes.

“Ah... Wait a minute!”

Lefiya hurriedly put on her undergarments. She had been so busy talking that she forgot to change her clothes.

Two minutes later.

“Attention, follow me closely.”

The three of them donned bright red protective clothing and glowing cloaks.

Hoshiharu held a middle-floor map he bought from the guild and gave instructions to the other two. They exchanged glances and nodded when they saw that everyone was ready.

“Move out!”

❀❀❀

Everywhere they looked was covered in gray rocks; the walls, floor, and ceiling around them were all made of stone, and the damp air spread throughout the room.

Unlike the foggy grasslands of the 12th Floor, this floor was entirely a cave-like terrain reminiscent of the interior of a mountain.

Stepping out of the corridor that connected the two floors, what they saw was an endless rocky path without any turns or intersections in the middle. The distance between the walls on both sides, the ceiling, and the floor was very small.

Additionally, there were well-shaped caves and traps in the corners of the walls that no one dared to approach.

“The characteristic of the 13th Floor is that the paths connecting the stone rooms are very long. To fight safely, we must reach the next stone room as quickly as possible.”

Hoshiharu glanced at the map, then put it away and gripped the sword in his hand.

“Let’s go!”

The two behind him said nothing. They also knew that this place was very dangerous and that one could die if not careful.

They followed behind Hoshiharu. The three of them looked tense and quickly ran along the corridor.

Although the path was long and quite narrow, because of this, there were only a few branches and turns. As long as they kept walking straight, they could advance to the next floor. Be careful not to fall into the vertical holes in the corners.

But there would never be a shortage of monsters in the dungeon.

“Wheezing...”

Two black figures appeared ahead in the damp corridor, causing the three to stop immediately.

Their rough skin was charcoal black, resembling dogs but with bodies half the height of a human. They moved forward with limbs close to the ground, and only the two eyes on their bodies shone with red light.

“Those are Hellhounds!”

Line looked very serious and unconsciously tightened her grip on the short knife at her waist.

Hellhounds are monsters that only appear on the 13th Floor. The guild rates their threat level as Level 2.

“Want to get closer?”

She turned her attention to Hoshiharu, who was at the front of the team.

It was the frontliner’s responsibility to judge the appropriate distance to engage monsters.

The fierce faces of the two Hellhounds turned sharply, and they let out fierce roars one after another.

Then they all raised their lower bodies and lowered their upper bodies as low as possible.

Soon after, flames condensed in their mouths and gradually turned into high-temperature flames.

*WHOOSH*

Hoshiharu kicked the ground without hesitation and ran as fast as a cheetah.

“At least say hello!”

Lefiya was helpless, but she could only follow quickly.

Ahead.

The distance of several meters passed in an instant.

Hoshiharu’s body speed increased significantly after receiving the blessing, allowing him to easily cover this distance and arrive directly in front of the two Hellhounds.

*SWISH*

His blade pierced the air, passing through the corner of the first Hellhound’s mouth, and cut its head in half. The gathered flame was suddenly canceled.

*BOOM*

But at the same time, the Hellhound beside it had charged its power and spewed a fireball almost as big as a basketball towards Hoshiharu!

Hoshiharu quickly lifted the edge of his cloak and held it in front of him, then crouched down.

The scorching heat invaded his body in an instant. Although his entire body’s temperature rose sharply, the Fire Dragon protective garment almost completely insulated the fire.

“Roar!”

The Hellhound roared, then opened its bloody mouth and bit Hoshiharu.

Hoshiharu took the initiative to meet it, extending his sword blade and accurately inserting it into the Hellhound’s mouth.

However, the Hellhound reacted very quickly, biting the sword in its mouth. No matter how Hoshiharu pushed the handle, its teeth would not loosen at all, and the tremendous biting force prevented the blade from advancing at all.

*Pu-chi*

Hoshiharu suddenly released one hand and drew a short sword from his waist. The sword caught it off guard and stabbed into the Hellhound’s throat, killing it instantly.

“Amazing, you really defeated two Hellhounds by yourself?”

Lefiya approached him with a surprised expression on her face, her eyes sparkling.

“Be careful, more monsters are coming!”

Line quickly took out her wand.

Ahead, after the Hellhounds were destroyed, three rabbit-like monsters emerged from within the corridor.

They were about the size of pallums, with yellow and white fur and fluffy tails. They stood on the ground with their hind legs and had sharp horns on their foreheads.

Almiraj.

Although their individual strength was not as good as Hellhounds, their level of trouble was no less. Almiraj was also a Level 2 threat monster!

Because they often acted in groups, and the key was –

The three Almiraj smashed the stones on the wall together and produced natural weapons – small stone axes.

Monsters like Almiraj were very good at using the natural weapons of the labyrinth to fight. When they launched group attacks, their attack power could not be underestimated.

“They’re coming from behind too!”

Line turned to look, her expression tense.

From the direction they came from, two more Hellhounds appeared. Their mouths were wide open, flames condensing in their mouths, and they began to gather magical power.

This was the 13th Floor.
