"Why are there so many? Is this the Middle Floors? This is already at the level of a monster feast!" Lili raised her head from Cael's arms and spoke in shock. At this level, even a real Lv. 2 team would be wiped out.
"Everyone reacted very quickly. As expected of the Hashira. How is it? How difficult is this for all of you?" Cael looked at the monsters still full of malice toward them, then glanced at Shinobu and Rengoku beside him with a grin. This level was already a real adventure for him, almost like his first time entering the Dungeon. But this time, he was not alone.
"There is no problem at all. I have a complete understanding of fighting monsters. Lv. 2 monsters are far inferior to the Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki, and even far inferior to the Lower Ranks. Even if there are many of them, there is no problem." Rengoku held his sword in both hands, full of fighting spirit. Like a burning fire, the Nichirin Sword in his hand emitted flaming waves of air.
"Monsters are nothing. Even I can kill them beautifully by myself. But their regeneration speed is also very fast. Once our physical strength is exhausted, we will definitely fall into disadvantage," Tengen said gorgeously as he swung the chained blades in his hands.
"This is the most dangerous part of the Dungeon, right?"
"That's right. The Dungeon has unlimited monsters, while our physical strength is limited. Since everyone fully understands that, I trust our cooperation." Cael completely drew both swords. Air burst from his body as he activated Starburst Stream. His basic attributes had already reached the point where he could activate it at will and turn it on and off instantly.
"Leave the enhancement of the support members and the protection of the three younger ones to me. I will leave the rest to everyone."
"Namu Amida Butsu. You poor monsters who only know how to kill, let this monk save you." Gyomei's tears flowed as he took the spiked flail and chain axe from his back. Boom. Accompanied by fire, smoke, and the explosion of gunpowder, several Al-Miraj were instantly blown apart. A hole opened in the monster encirclement, and the surrounding monsters were knocked back by the shock wave. Shadows seemed to dance across the battlefield, extremely gorgeous.
"Hahaha." Once the first explosion sounded, everyone began to move.
"Flame Breathing."
"Wind Breathing."
"Love Breathing."
"Serpent Breathing." Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Rumble, rumble, rumble. The situation, which had been extremely dangerous, suddenly turned around. It even became a one-sided massacre. The vast monster arena had turned into a slaughterhouse. Explosions, firelight, and sword flashes instantly filled the space. After all, Swordsmanship Master alone was already enough of a cheat, allowing a Lv. 1 adventurer to reach Lv. 2-class combat power.
Combined with other ultra-rare Skills, it was simply absurd. With exceptional basic abilities and a variety of powerful rare Skills enhancing them, they could easily compete with low Lv. 3-class monsters even while still in the Lv. 1 range.
"I cannot help wanting to be gorgeous." Cael instantly rushed toward the Enhanced Species Hellhound, whose mouth was already glowing with hot flames ready to spray at him. Enhanced Species were mutant existences among monsters. They not only hunted adventurers, but also hunted other monsters and devoured Magic Stones to gain continuous enhancement. They became stronger much faster than adventurers. A compressed red fireball swayed violently in the wolf's mouth, then shot into the air in an instant.
The scorching heat burned the air into a wave that rushed toward him.
"Ha!" The flames, wide enough to swallow a five-person party, rapidly expanded in Cael's eyes. Sacred text around the sword wrapped in airflow gradually brightened, and his right hand took the lead, cutting the first sword from top to bottom. The airflow in front of him was instantly split in two. The separated airflow formed a strong wind blowing to both sides, and the oncoming flame breath was also split apart in an instant.
"He cut through the flames! So strong! So amazing!" Inosuke shouted from behind.
"Tanjiro, listen for the passage." Cael spoke while distracted, rushing in front of the Hellhound. After speaking, the second sword in his left hand slashed toward the Hellhound's head. But Lv. 3 was Lv. 3 after all. Its reaction speed was far beyond Lv. 2, and consciousness flowed in those red eyes. This was an Enhanced Species, far beyond an ordinary monster. Just like the red Minotaur trained by Ottar, it had fighting spirit.
It turned its wolf head to avoid the sword, but was still blown away by the strong wind. Cael's third sword immediately caught up and pierced its head. The strong wind tore it apart in an instant. Although it was an Enhanced Species judged to have Lv. 3 potential, it was not a humanoid monster after all, and its attack methods were too simple. It was not even one-tenth as difficult as an Upper Rank demon. Even a Lv. 3 Enhanced Species was like this.
It could be seen that for the Hashira, although this scene looked exaggerated, its real threat was not overwhelming. Roar, roar, roar. Amid ear-piercing explosions and flashes of sword light, the monsters that had originally formed a circle disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. But the monsters regenerated very quickly. Dense red eyes appeared in the passages. While they were fighting, the Dungeon had already gathered again and bared sharper teeth.
"Lord Cael!" Lili shouted quickly.
"Damn it. There really is no room to farm here. We cannot waste time." Cael clicked his tongue, his eyes sharp. His mental power burned rapidly, blue magical light lit up around him, and he raised his hand toward the cave passages filled with red eyes.
"Projection, start." In the blue magical light, long swords were constructed out of thin air and suspended behind Cael. One sword, two swords... ten swords... twenty swords... thirty swords... fifty-six swords. This was his current limit. These swords were shaped by his power. Normally, they were only ordinary swords, but as long as he detonated the power used to create them, they could cause a magical explosion.
"Broken Phantasm." At that moment, the Hashira, who had cleared most of the monsters, were all drawn to the sight.
"So many gorgeous swords. And they are dangerous. They explode like the dynamite balls I made," Tengen immediately said.
"So strong. I admire you with all my strength. Like a demon's Blood Demon Art, this should be the captain's magic, the magic of infinite swords produced by Unlimited Blade Works," Tanjiro said truthfully, his fighting spirit rising.
"Magic, Blood Demon Arts, and things like that really are unreasonable," Tengen muttered.
"Namu Amida Butsu. This monk will save you poor creatures now." Gyomei, tears flowing, smashed a Hellhound to death with his meteor hammer.
"Go!" After the projection ended, Cael waved his hand. Rumble, rumble... Explosive flames no weaker than Tengen's homemade gunpowder instantly filled the eleven cave passages, and most of the red eyes vanished amid strange screams.
"That is the safest passage. Go that way!" Tanjiro pointed at one passage and shouted quickly.
