Chương 70: The Floor Boss Falls

"Hoo, ho..." The huge body of the Floor Boss turned gray and dissipated. Amid the purple fluorescent debris flying through the air, Cael picked up his swords and breathed in large mouthfuls of air. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked around. Some people were half-kneeling, some were standing upright, and some were simply lying on the ground, panting rapidly. Everyone was breathing heavily, satisfied smiles on their lips. In this battle, everyone's trust and will had been fully displayed.

It was everyone's mutual trust and cooperation that had finally led to victory. They had crossed Levels 3 and 4 and defeated such a powerful enemy. Sure enough, only in a shared crisis did friendship and trust have the soil to bloom into the most beautiful flowers.

"A gorgeous victory. Ah, I feel like I am going to die," Tengen said, lying spread-eagle on the ground.

"We won, and I feel that my strength has become much stronger. A god's blessing really is powerful." Sanemi was covered in scars that were still bleeding. He half-knelt on the ground and clenched a powerful fist. Compared with before entering the Dungeon, he had become more than twice as strong.

"Namu Amida Butsu..." Gyomei clasped his hands together and rubbed his prayer beads, tears flowing from his eyes like streams.

"It is great that everyone is safe."

"Amazing. Very powerful. Our strength has become so strong. Although it was dangerous, all of us received an unprecedented transformation. I am very happy," Rengoku said loudly, even though he was seriously injured.

"Ahem, cough. Indeed," Obanai said as he half-knelt on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Captain Cael looked so handsome just now when he turned the battle around," Mitsuri said, stars in her eyes. After saying it, her face immediately turned red. Oh no, she had spoken her thoughts out loud.

"Kanroji, your battle was also beautiful. Thank you for helping me avoid Goliath's air cannon several times earlier. Otherwise, I might already have been lying on the ground and would not have been able to make the final effort." Cael looked at Mitsuri and spoke sincerely.

"That is what I should do, Captain Cael," Mitsuri said excitedly, her face red. Ah, she had spoken seriously with Captain Cael. Wonderful.

"I am also very grateful to Captain Cael for reminding me brilliantly. Otherwise, I would have been the first one to hold everyone back," Tengen said. Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators! If that slash had not saved him at the beginning, he might have been lying on the ground unable to get up. Perhaps everyone would have been restricted because they had to protect him.

"Me too," Rengoku said as well.

"I am the only one who held everyone back. I clearly had recovery magic, but because I had to avoid falling rocks, I could not concentrate on chanting. I am very sorry," Shinobu said with self-blame. If she could use her magic, everyone might have been able to fight more easily.

"Fighting while chanting long magic spells is not easy. Some veterans who have dealt with magic for more than ten years still cannot do it, let alone you, who just obtained magic and are not familiar with it yet. Do not blame yourself. Everyone's victory is also your victory, Shinobu." Cael did not feel dissatisfied at all. Instead, he comforted and enlightened her. After all, chanting long spells while fighting was called parallel chanting.

Even veterans who had dealt with magic for more than ten years could barely learn it, let alone Shinobu, a person from another world who had no concept of magic at all. Not everyone was a super cheat like him, able to use parallel chanting, or even instant casting, as soon as he got magic.

"Captain Cael is becoming more and more like a leader," Shinobu said softly, her eyes flashing. At the final moment when he defeated the Floor Boss, she had been stunned. If she had to use one word to describe him, it could only be strong. Mysterious and unpredictable. Even if one knew his attribute values and Skills, they still could not concretely reflect his real strength. As Lady Hestia said, the potential of human beings amazed even the gods.

"Ahem, cough. But at the end of our battle, we attracted quite a few onlookers. Although most of them are insignificant, there are people there who are stronger than us. Just a little stronger," Obanai said in a low voice after coughing up blood. He looked toward the entrance of the cave that had been opened, where more and more spectators were gathering.

"Yes, I noticed them earlier. They seem to be the adventurers invited by the three younger ones and Miss Lili. They did well," Tengen said in praise as he raised himself from the ground. The cave entrance had been opened. They alone would not have been able to clear the huge stones. If Goliath had not been defeated just now, they would probably have been rescued by the adventurers Miss Lili had begged to come.

"Mr. Rengoku, it is great that you are safe," Tanjiro said excitedly as he rushed over.

"Yes, yes. So powerful, so powerful. So huge, and such a powerful giant was defeated. It really is so powerful. I really wanted to chop it twice," the boar-head roared excitedly.

"What happened? Why am I here? Wow, it looks like there was some unbelievable battle. What is going on?" Zenitsu, whose snot bubble had burst, opened his eyes in a daze. Then his eyeballs almost popped out, and he held his head while shouting in fear.

"Lord Cael!" Lili threw herself into Cael's arms.

"It is wonderful that Lord Cael is still alive, and that you successfully defeated Goliath."

"Haha, I am someone favored by a god. I can turn disaster into good luck every time. But this time was indeed an adventure." Cael gently rubbed Lili's head.

"Sorry. I made you worry, Lili. You must have done many things." At critical moments, Lili was very reliable. When the entrance was blocked, she had definitely gone to those adventurers as quickly as possible. Most adventurers were not easy to talk to. She must have received plenty of ridicule and cold looks. He raised his head and looked at the adventurers entering the battlefield of Floor 17 from the entrance, finally settling on the familiar figures at the front. Loki Familia. That was right.

Every time Loki Familia went on an expedition, they would rest in the adventurer town for two or three days to fully prepare supplies. He had met Riveria and Ais at Goibniu's weapon shop.

"We have met before, although we only spoke one-sidedly."

"Loki Familia, you must have responded to Lili's request. Thank you very much for your generous response." Cael came before everyone in Loki Familia and spoke with a smile. Although he looked miserable at the moment, he carried the iron-blooded and proud temperament of a hero. Loki Familia was one of the few Familias in Orario with a sense of justice. As long as it did not harm the interests of their Familia, most of them would act righteously.
