Chapter 158: Meeting Another Floor Boss, the Two-Headed Dragon That Shatters at a Touch!
Bang—
Along with a thunderous roar, an enormous Skull Sheep collapsed with a crash.
What had caused all of this was a long spear shining with golden light.
After killing its target, it turned into golden particles of light in the air and disappeared.
"So strong…"
Not far away, a golden-haired beauty looked at this scene with a face full of envy.
And it was not only her.
Even the beautiful elf beside her was full of surprise.
Along the way, Riveria no longer knew how many times she had been shocked.
Ethan Starfall.
A newcomer who had arrived in Orario a little over four months ago.
A person who had joined the Freya Familia a little over three months ago.
In just three short months, he had actually grown to this extent.
This was simply horrifying.
Riveria could not help remembering Loki's evaluation of Ethan.
"That child is Freya's precious treasure. A little monster with the 'qualities of a hero.'"
That was the evaluation Loki had given a few days ago, on the night when two moons had shone together.
After resisting the berserk monsters in the Dungeon and returning, they had happened to mention Ethan.
The qualities of a hero.
In all of Orario, there probably was not a second person who could receive such an evaluation.
As elven royalty, Riveria had also read a large number of ancient texts.
In many old records, there were accounts and epics of "heroes."
On that chaotic and savage continent, monsters ran rampant and wreaked havoc in every corner of the land.
Humanity's living environment had been dire.
During that era, humans who could be called "miracles" were born one after another.
They allowed humanity to survive disaster after disaster.
One had to know that in that era, there had been no "Falna of the gods."
Through their own efforts and their own strength, they defeated the monsters of that age.
They even defeated monsters that were like moving natural disasters.
Originally, Riveria had thought those were only legends.
But now, it seemed that they might truly have been possible.
Just like how ordinary people could never touch the world of geniuses, the realm reached by heroes was probably also not something ordinary adventurers could experience.
Rumble—
After they arrived in the area of the "Water City," a huge rumbling sound rang out.
"What's going on?"
Riveria spoke in surprise.
A bad premonition could not help appearing in her mind.
Different floors all had their own floor bosses.
After being subjugated, their respawn times were also different.
Although people had predicted them before, they could only predict a rough time.
Roar—
An angry roar rang out.
Around the entire "Great Falls," its roar echoed.
Rumble—
Waves roared across the calm surface of the water.
Then, an enormous figure slowly emerged.
Its entire body was like a work of art carved from crystal.
It also had two huge dragon heads, one blue and one red.
Especially because of its massive size, when it looked down from above, the pressure it gave off was immediately pushed to the maximum.
The two-headed dragon, Amphisbaena.
The floor boss located on the 27th floor within the "Water City."
According to the records of the Adventurers Guild, its potential ability was around Lv.5.
However, if it was on water, Amphisbaena's strength would be comparable to Lv.6.
It was absolutely an extremely troublesome floor boss.
Not only that, but because of the special terrain of the "Great Falls," Amphisbaena could move between the floors connected by the Great Falls.
This greatly increased its danger.
After all, for other floor bosses, if one was not strong enough, they could simply avoid provoking them.
But with Amphisbaena, one could not determine its fixed location at all.
And the Water City was filled with water everywhere.
Its depth was also not shallow.
If Amphisbaena truly hid inside, then unless one entered the water, one would not discover it at all.
"It's the floor boss."
Looking at Amphisbaena, Riveria frowned.
Encountering two floor bosses in a row.
This luck was honestly something else.
After all, the respawn time of floor bosses was very long.
It was no exaggeration to say that most adventurers might not see one for years, or even more than ten years.
Yet today, they had encountered two at once.
Roar—
The enormous dragon head looked toward Ethan.
Out of a beast's instinct, it knew that Ethan was the most dangerous one here.
Boom—
A water pillar fired straight at Ethan.
The water pillar was three or four meters thick.
If an ordinary adventurer encountered it, they would probably either die or be crippled.
Bang—
A shield appeared in front of Ethan and directly blocked the attack.
All the rushing water was unable to shake it.
Akhilleus Kosmos.
Aside from its power after Noble Phantasm deployment, as a defensive Noble Phantasm, its own defensive power was also qualified.
At the very least, it was enough to deal with Amphisbaena.
"You two stay here."
Ethan gave instructions to Ais and Riveria beside him.
Riveria nodded at this.
Ais, on the other hand, also wanted to go with him, but Riveria held her back.
Although Ais had already recovered under Ethan's Reverse Cursed Technique, she had just finished an expedition and had suffered such serious injuries not long ago.
She absolutely could not act recklessly again now.
Riveria did not oppose Ais fighting.
But at the very least, she had to choose the right time.
Roar—
Amphisbaena stared at Ethan.
Its instincts told it that it had to kill the human before it.
Swish—
In Ethan's hand, a golden holy sword emitting a sacred aura appeared.
However, looking at Excalibur in his hand, Ethan felt somewhat unused to it.
Although he was happy that he could wield the true holy sword, Ethan still preferred Excalibur in its demonic sword form.
Perhaps it was because their attributes were similar.
Ethan, who carried [All the World's Evil], using such a sacred holy sword was honestly somewhat out of place.
Buzz—
As if responding to Ethan, Excalibur in his hand flickered with black light.
It once again returned to its demonic sword form.
Seeing this, Ethan immediately smiled.
Roar—
At that moment, Amphisbaena had already launched its second round of attacks.
A sky-covering curtain of water mixed with shattered stone came rushing toward him.
"Whether you are a holy sword or a demonic sword, it will still become a dead soul beneath your blade!"
Boom—
On the blackened demonic sword, magical energy began boiling and surging.
"Excalibur Morgan!"
Rumble—
A black aurora torrent directly evaporated the waters before him.
As for Amphisbaena within the water, it was also reduced to ashes under the aurora cannon of Excalibur.
What was overwhelming suppression?
This was overwhelming suppression.
There were no fancy tricks at all.
Before absolute power, everything else was meaningless.
