[98] Udaeus!



[98] Udaeus!

The entire ground continued to crack, causing vibrations throughout the surroundings.

A massive half-skeletal giant, composed of skull, clavicle, and rib bones, emerged from the ground, exuding an immensely powerful aura that instinctively inspired awe.

*ROOOOOOAR!*

A deafening roar echoed, signaling the return of the floor boss.

Composed entirely of black and gray bones, the upper half of the giant skeleton had two horns on its skull, and its enormous skeletal head featured two crimson pupils.

Within its body, among the ribs, was an unusually large magic stone.

This made August speculate, could it be that the magic stones of all these floor bosses are this large?

If this were brought back to Orario, it would be worth several million. This magic stone alone could be equivalent to many ordinary magic stones.

However, this thought was just wishful thinking. To defeat the floor boss, their magic stone must be shattered, otherwise, it would be impossible to take them down.

Not only for the floor boss but for all monsters, the magic stone was the source of their power and also their weakness.

However, for ordinary monsters, humans could slay them, and in such cases, magic stones would drop. But for floor bosses, if you wanted to kill them forcefully and retain the magic stone, it was an impossible task because it simply couldn't be done.

The 37th floor boss, Udaeus, was a genuine monster on par with Level 6. Generally, only well-equipped Familias working together had a chance to defeat it. If alone, unless an adventurer was significantly more powerful than their peers, they couldn't hope to confront it.

"I'll go."

"Sure, but be careful. Udaeus wields a sword, so you must be cautious."

"Got it."

With the Mithril Sword in her hand, Ais unsheathed it and charged.

"Hey, I've never heard that Udaeus can use a sword."

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it's impossible."

"Heh, with my short temper, you've only been in Orario for a few days. I'm..."

Before she could finish, the ground underwent a second round of intense shaking.

In front of Udaeus, a pitch-black skeletal longsword emerged, about seven or eight meters long. This scene made Tsubaki's face go 'snap, snap,' sounding awkwardly embarrassed.

Before she could finish her words, she was already slapped in the face. This was too quick.

"I...you...this..."

"It's okay. There's no one else here, no one saw."

"Just go die."

Under the combination of embarrassment and anger, Tsubaki punched August. She was very irritated right now.

Being in Demonization, August naturally didn't receive any damage, but being punched by his own wife, he couldn't do much about it.

"Tempest (Awaken)"

With the blessing of wind magic, Ais's speed instantly increased.

Boom!

Upon spotting Ais, Udaeus immediately launched an attack, swinging a sword directly at her. Ais leaped up to avoid the strike, and Uadeus's powerful force created a deep pit in the ground.

Ais, using the enhanced speed from wind magic, swiftly approached Udaeus. Thanks to the magic of wind, even in mid-air, Ais could move at high speed, such was the power of the wind.

Clang~

In the first moment of discovery, Udaeus attacked, directly slashing at Ais's shoulder and arm. Ais leaped to evade, and in the next moment, her sword tip landed between the joints of Udaeus's other arm.

With the tremendous piercing force, a giant skeletal arm fell to the ground with a 'thud,' raising a cloud of dust.

However, in the midst of Ais's astonishment, Udaeus did not stop.

The left arm was cut off, and the arm wielding the skeletal sword struck directly at Ais.

Ais's figure was instantly sent flying.

The powerful force directly shattered a section of the rock wall. On the rock wall, there were spiderweb-like patterns.

Splash~

Climbing up from the rubble, Ais wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She felt a surge of excitement, her strength had become so formidable. Although killing monsters during expeditions had become incredibly easy, she hadn't encountered such powerful monsters before.

Ais never had the opportunity to test her true strength.

Now, with one swing, Ais had severed Udaeus's arm, and this realization confirmed that even if she hadn't leveled up, her strength was definitely on par with Level 6.

*ROOOOOOOAR*

Udaeus let out a roar, swinging the skeletal sword at Ais once again.

"Tempest (Awaken)"

Activating the magic again, Ais, sword in hand, rushed towards Udaeus.

With the swift figure under the influence of the emerald green wind magic, Ais appeared like a wind spirit, rushing forward.

As for the one-armed Udaeus, crimson flames flickered in its eyes.

As a floor boss, having an arm cut off was a disgrace.

With a flip and a leap, Ais, emitting a green light, appeared on the other side of Udaeus.

Just like before, the sword blade aimed at the joint of Udaeus's other arm.

Clang~

The same scene, the same plot.

Udaeus's other arm, just like before, was directly cut off by Ais.

Boom~!

The massive skeletal arm, gripping the skeletal sword, fell to the ground.

Watching this scene from afar, Tsubaki was stunned. She knew Ais was strong, but she didn't expect her to be this powerful.

This was the 37th floor boss. Even a Level 6 adventurer wouldn't dare claim an assured victory. Yet, in front of Ais, it seemed so fragile.

"Strength in a single round. Ais still cannot be compared to Udaeus in terms of strength, but in terms of speed, Udaeus doesn't even deserve to shine Ais's shoes."

"Well, that's true. Udaeus's speed is basically non-existent."

Watching the lower half of Udaeus still buried underground, Tsubaki subconsciously nodded.

But then she realized, her face full of dissatisfaction, and glared at August.

It seemed like she was the veteran here, and he was the rookie. How did it become like he was the veteran, and she was the rookie? Was he shameless or what?

However, August, who was paying attention to Ais, didn't notice Tsubaki's unusual behavior.
