Chapter 27: Chapter 27 - Crisis
Link didn't know what was going on in the guild at the time, because he and Olga continued to conquer the dungeon.
Floors 13-24 are suitable for LV.2. They belong to the middle level of the dungeon. Adventurers call them the "initial death line" because, starting from the middle level, many monsters will use long-range attacks, similar to magic. If you are not careful, you will die here.
Floor 15.
Link and Olga arrived here. Compared to the upper level, the cave became wider and the ceiling was higher as you went down. In addition to the normal routes to the lower level, there were also vertical caves leading to the lower levels. It was much better than before to be more complex.
As soon as he entered this place, Link felt a quiet and depressing atmosphere. The surroundings were empty. The 'World's Favor' skill didn't seem to be working. There were no monsters in front of him, which felt a little abnormal.
It's like the calm before the storm.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Link tightened his hand on the spear and said to Olga, "It feels a little wrong, Olga, be careful."
"Um!"
Olga nodded heavily, unconsciously clenched the wand in her hand, and leaned towards Link's side.
In this dark dungeon, only Link's side could provide her with the greatest sense of security.
The two of them slowly moved forward.
Suddenly...
'Stkk! Kakkk! '
Countless monsters suddenly emerged from the walls. Within a few seconds, the entire cave was filled with these newly born monsters, not just the front of the cave, but also the back.
As soon as the several hellhounds suddenly born from behind landed on the ground, they opened their huge mouths and spat flames directly at Link and Olga in front of them without giving them any time to react.
"Not good!"
Link, who had been promoted to LV.2, was the first to react. He immediately jumped towards Olga at her side, rolled with her in his arms, and narrowly avoided the incoming flames. At the same time, the light weapon behind him shot out, pinning these hellhounds to the spot.
However, more monsters have taken the opportunity to surround him.
"Lord Link, this is going to be difficult, both before and after…"
Olga stood up from the ground and looked at the front and back of the cave, a solemn look in her beautiful eyes.
The current situation is just like a war field, except that the overwhelming number of people turned into monsters, and more importantly, the retreat was also cut off and the two of them were caught in the middle of the overwhelming monsters.
Even too many ants can kill an elephant.
In the dungeon, once you are surrounded by monsters, the monsters that continuously appear can drag adventurers alive.
The current situation is not optimistic.
Olga still had some energy left and cast a few magic spells to gain some space for the two of them to move. However, later, the intense attacks from the monsters weakened her and she fell into a dilemma, where she could only do nothing and she felt embarrassed.
Like the flames spewed by hellhounds, even Link must dodge. If he doesn't dodge, he will be injured. Once he dodges, the monsters will continue forward, squeezing the few movement spaces of Link and Olga.
In the end, Link could only let Olga hold on to the wall, he stood in front of her, protecting her, he concentrated on facing the monsters' attacks from all directions and used all his strength to defeat the approaching monsters
Beads of sweat began to fall on Link's forehead...
"Lord Link, we..."
Olga held the wand and could only huddle behind Link. At this moment, she looked weak and the fire essence cloth covering her body had been torn to shreds due to the fire dogs' attack.
Looking at the group of monsters that had barely diminished, a look of despair appeared on her face.
"We will leave!"
Link kept repeating, not only to encourage Olga not to give up, but also to tell himself...
Gae Dearg in his hand never stopped for a moment, and the waving spear tip continued to reap the approaching monsters.
However, the encirclement is still tightening, and the monsters in front of him seem to have not diminished at all. When Link kills one, two are born in the dungeon...
The situation is getting worse and worse, and countless monsters keep appearing like an overwhelming force!
Link used all his strength and used Fire Essence Weaving to hold back the flames spewed by the two hellhounds and used this skill. Countless light weapons shot out from Link's back, followed by the final strike of the spear in his hand. With a powerful sweep, a large area of densely packed monsters at the back of the passage was suddenly cleared.
"Olga, let's go now!"
Link sacrificed his life to create this opportunity. He originally wanted Olga to escape first. However, behind the group of monsters, two newly born Minotaurs rushed out like mad cows!
"moohh!"
The dungeon did not want to give Link any chance to escape.
Today, Link finally feels the deep malice of the dungeon.
The Minotaur's sharp horns were already in front of him. At the critical moment, Link held the spear in his hand across his chest to block the Minotaur's attack, although he was still hit by the attack. He slid back several meters against the huge force, but at least he successfully blocked this fatal attack.
The collision was successfully contained, but the Minotaur's actions did not stop. It skillfully raised its head and Link, who had the spear between the two corners, was directly thrown into the air by this force.
The red rose in his hand was also caught between the two corners of the Minotaur, so he let go of it.
"Oops!"
Gae Dearg left his hand and his body was thrown into the air again…
A group of monsters watch anxiously from below, waiting for their prey to fall to the ground.
At the moment of crisis, the space in Link's hand was distorted and rippled, and a blood-red long knife appeared in Link's hand instead of Gae Dearg.
Holding the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, Link kept swinging the long knife in the air at an extremely fast speed and actually launched several long-distance slashes that were like "sword energy." When Link landed, the nearby monsters, all of them have been torn apart by this "sword energy," including the Minotaur that flew him away.
"return!"
shout!
The bloody spear flew back into Link's hand, and Link was about to breathe a sigh of relief...
"Lord Link!"
Orica's screams rang out from the side!
Link had just retracted his spear and had no time to take any other actions, and turned back in response, but it was too late!
Another Minotaur rushed forward, and the powerful impact pushed Link back for more than ten meters. The sharp horns directly penetrated the armor on Link's chest, accompanied by 'Bang Dong! With a sound, the Minotaur forcefully slammed Link into the stone wall.
Dungeon, it doesn't want to give Link a chance to breathe!
"Ahem..."
Link felt a sweet sensation in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His abdomen seemed to have been pierced by horns.
