Chương 64: The Monster Rex Awakens

"Damn it, you are standing too high! I cannot even reach your neck! Kneel down!" Tengen glared, as if he had just recovered from the shock. He swung the chained blades with both hands, the gorgeous sword light forming circles on both sides, and roared as he rushed toward Goliath's legs. Boom. The chained blade was thrown at the giant's leg. Violent red flames exploded through the space, blasting open the skin of the giant's leg.

"My explosives can only blow off one layer of skin!" Tengen's pupils shrank, but he was filled with determination.

"So that is the Floor Boss for you. The strongest monster, huh? Then I will keep blowing up your legs beautifully!" The gorgeous chained blades were thrown again and again at the Floor Boss's thigh, which was at least five meters thick. Explosions rang out one after another like firecrackers. Roar, roar, roar! The Floor Boss roared and clenched its fist, smashing down at the ant near its feet. At the same time, it opened its mouth wide enough to swallow a person, and a terrifying breath quickly filled the air.

"Big man, how could I be hit by your slow fist!" The moment the fist fell, Tengen dodged away at a speed slightly faster than the blow. With a loud bang, the rocky ground shattered instantly, and huge tilted stones rose with the impact, knocking Tengen, who had narrowly escaped, into the rock wall. At that moment, the compressed air ball in Goliath's mouth glowed brightly, like a huge cannon aimed at Tengen against the rock wall.

"No! Why is it so fast!" Tengen had only just reacted and had no time to dodge. He could only reflexively cross the broad chained blades in front of him. He did not know whether he could block it, because this attack gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. At that moment, a slash wrapped in strong wind cut past him in front of the air cannon. The powerful airflow instantly knocked him away. The air cannon passed by his clothes and struck the wall behind him.

The wall was blasted apart, creating a circular surface of shattered stone, and a large amount of gravel shot outward.

"Do not use the same mindset for monsters that you use for demons! Especially not against a Floor Boss! They instinctively go all out from the beginning and are not as clumsy as humans." Cael shouted loudly as he looked at Tengen, whom he had saved.

"Thank you very much, captain!" Tengen shouted happily. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. He had truly used his demon-slaying instincts just now. If not for the captain, he would have been delayed and struck.

"Flame Breathing, Ninth Form." Everyone moved. Rengoku was covered in flames like a burning train running along the rock wall, rapidly closing in on Goliath's head. Because his potential had been unlocked, he could escape gravity and run vertically along a rock wall for a short time.

"Rengoku!" The dragon made of flames struck Goliath's neck hard, and the powerful force tilted Goliath's head for a moment. The intense flames burned a large patch of skin until it made a sizzling sound. The Nichirin Sword could not pierce deeply no matter what, so he could only force it desperately in one direction.

"Ahhhhh!" He circled Goliath's neck with all his strength. No blood spurted out. Only fresh red muscle could be seen squirming. A huge hand swept toward him, and Rengoku quickly leapt away into the air. Then he saw a huge mouth opening toward him like the muzzle of a cannon, and a ball of light larger than his body gradually formed.

"Damn it! I can't move in midair!" It was too fast and had too strong a sense of combat. It was completely incomparable to the monsters from before. However, he had companions.

"Stone Breathing, Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice." Gyomei jumped to a position level with Goliath's shoulders. The muscles on his arms bulged like stone as he threw the axe in his hand with heavy intent. It struck Goliath's head. The huge head shifted in an instant, and the air cannon missed the Flame Hashira, shooting toward the ground. The rocky ground instantly exploded, and large chunks of stone were gouged out.

"Ahhhhh!" The Stone Hashira pulled the chain back to retrieve the axe, then threw the meteor hammer in his other hand with all his strength, striking Goliath hard again. Boom! Boom! Boom! The repeated throws all struck Goliath's head. In the end, Goliath uncontrollably hit the rock wall, and huge chunks of stone collapsed. Roar, roar, roar!

"So strong. As expected of the strongest Hashira." Cael sounded a little old-fashioned, but the fire in his heart burned brightly.

"But Goliath is still too strong."

"Lili, you three younger ones, hurry over! This place has completely turned into a battlefield!" Cael shouted to the four of them. Then he shot forward like lightning toward Goliath.

"Let's go quickly! Do not waste the time Lord Cael bought us." Lili shouted at the three younger ones, carrying her backpack and running toward the entrance to Floor 18 with all her strength. Everyone was taking too many risks. Although they were very strong and their combat power had completely reached the level of advanced adventurers, challenging a Lv. 4 Floor Boss was still far too dangerous.

If Lord Cael and the others encountered an accident, Lili would be the final rescuer, just like during the adventure on Floor 8 when she had saved Lord Cael.

"Inosuke, do not freeze! We will only get in everyone's way!" Tanjiro shouted to Inosuke, who was watching everyone fight, then ran toward the entrance.

"Damn it! I am really unwilling. I am really unwilling!" Inosuke roared and ran away. Behind him was Zenitsu, whose nose was full of snot.

"Haaah!" Cael rushed in front of Goliath, stepped onto its body, and charged straight toward its head. Blue magical light appeared at his feet, and a sharp sword formed. He kicked at Goliath's open jaw, and the sword sank directly into its flesh.

"Broken Phantasm!" Boom. The explosion occurred inside the flesh, blasting a large hole directly through the chin.

"What? It can still fire air bullets after its chin was punched through? That is not how I remembered it." A white air bullet shot past his clothes, and Cael only heard a booming explosion behind him. Roar, roar, roar! The ear-piercing roar shook the air into circular shock waves. Goliath roared furiously, clasped its hands together, raised them high above its head, and smashed them down toward the ground. Boom. With a deafening air explosion, the rocky floor shattered completely.

Huge stones rose like rolling dragons, as if something terrible had erupted from the ground, and the terrifying impact spread in every direction.

"There is no way to dodge an attack like this!" Tengen broke into cold sweat and swung both chained blades to block the flying rocks, but the shock wave itself could not be stopped. Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Everyone was blown away by the unexpected wide-area attack and slammed into the rock wall, their internal organs trembling.
