Lizard Magical Beasts
"Frieren, save a bit of mana."
Flamme chided out loud. This was Frieren's first dungeon adventure, and she hoped Frieren could take it seriously. Although this was just an ordinary, unremarkable low-level dungeon, a true mageshould maintain caution toward every dangerous place.
Little Fool observed the entire dungeon with a hint of curiosity. When a few stray skeletons occasionally appeared, she would also kindly and directly slash them down with a giant sword constructed from mana.
This was the magic Little Fool had learned during a time of extreme anger. Li Yan still remembered asking Little Fool how she had learned it, and that whimsical magic-learning process made him couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of magic.
At that time, Little Fool only felt very angry and wanted to kill anyone around who attacked young master. She thought of Li Yan's sword; a sword was a lethal weapon for killing, and if she could control swords, then everyone around her could be easily killed by her.
Clinging to this philosophy, she shaped mana into the appearance of a sword. One sword was not enough, so she constructed two; two were not enough, so she constructed three. Just like that, she constructed dozens of giant mana swords...
As the monsters in the dungeon were killed one by one, the group arrived in front of a closed wooden door. These were hidden rooms within the dungeon, which were respectively treasure rooms, monster rooms, rest rooms, and teleport rooms.
As a low-level Blue Steel Dungeon, the rooms here had basically been thoroughly looted by adventurers, and going in basically yielded zero gains. To investigate the true face behind the wooden door, Frieren stepped into it first.
The inside of the room was completely empty, and the group wore puzzled expressions, but just for a second, Flamme frowned and reacted on the spot.
"Damn it, this is a teleport room, and there's no knowing where we'll be teleported to in the dungeon."
As Flamme's voice fell, the room was covered by a shining blue light. A large, complex magic circle appeared on the ground, and the next second, Li Yan and the others, who still wore blank expressions, vanished from the spot.
"Space Magic?"
Li Yan blinked. He somewhat grasped the essence of teleport magic—spatial transfer, and furthermore, having carved spatial anchors to precisely teleport everyone who stepped into the spatial teleport range collectively to a single location.
In a reddish room, Li Yan frowned as he looked at the withered bones scattered all around. Flamme glanced at the surroundings with keen interest, selectively ignoring the ground full of skeletons, while Frieren wore a cute and dull expression.
"It seems this is a large monster room."
Flamme judged thus.
"A large monster room? Is this very strong, godmother?"
Li Yan looked curiously at the humanoid monster ahead, which possessed dozens of giant skeletal hands, and asked.
"It should be able to withstand Frieren's Hellfire."
Flamme said with some uncertainty. Looking at that massive build and ugly appearance, judging from the mana fluctuations, it should also have mana fluctuations around level thirty.
"Then I'll try."
Frieren gripped her staff with an excited expression and took aim. The fires of hell spewed forth ruthlessly, and that wave of fire fully over ten meters wide directly swallowed the large skeleton monster. Burned by the flames, the large skeleton monster emitted a shrill howl, its dozens of bone hands flailing indiscriminately. But under the incineration of the Hellfire, the bone hands gradually turned to ashes, a breeze blew gently, and the dozens of bone hands rose with the wind and scattered away.
"It seems it won't work. Hellfire is too oppressive."
Looking at the large skeleton monster that was directly killed in one hit before his eyes, Li Yan scratched his head with some boredom. He also wanted to experience thrilling and intense combat; he had originally thought this large skeleton monster could bring him quite a bit of fun, but he hadn't expected it couldn't even take a single strike of Frieren's Hellfire. Clearly, in this kind of low-level dungeon, his wish to seek excitement had already become an impossible dream to realize.
With the death of the large skeleton monster, a blue magic circle appeared ahead. Clearly, it was a teleport magic, a formation that teleported victorious adventurers away.
The group walked toward the teleport magic in an orderly fashion, and Flamme also understood the mysterious aspect of this place. "This is an area undiscovered by other adventurers. Of course, rookie adventurers who discovered it couldn't leave because they were unable to defeat the boss monster, and naturally couldn't spread the news out."
"Isn't it very interesting?"
Li Yan smiled faintly as he looked at Frieren, who wore an excited expression, and Little Fool, who was curiously observing the withered bones.
"It certainly is quite a rare thing! There's actually such a big fellow in a hidden low-level dungeon."
Flamme licked her dry lips, feeling a slight, inexplicable anticipation for the next teleport destination.
As the teleport formation operated once more, when Li Yan opened his eyes again, the scene before him had already turned into a blue forest, and a massive Shanstri Giant Beetle was charging toward his location.
"Who gave you permission to approach young master."
Little Fool glared angrily at the Shanstri Giant Beetle. In the sky, several giant swords formed by converging mana ruthlessly pierced through the body of the Shanstri Giant Beetle, and the scattered attacks of mana also violently blasted against the Shanstri Giant Beetle, blowing its deep blue blood into scattered severed limbs.
Flamme couldn't help but glance sideways at Little Fool. Clearly possessing only level-twenty-something mana, yet facing a giant monster with mana fluctuations exceeding level thirty, she actually resolved the opponent using only two magic moves.
She was exceptionally familiar with this kind of giant beetle: the Shanstri Giant Beetle, whose outer shell was as tough as steel, fond of sucking tree sap and juices, and sometimes treating humans like trees to feed on them.
With the death of the monster, the blue teleport formation appeared once more. With the familiar method, the group had no doubts either; if one wanted to leave, the teleport magic circle was the only way.
Beneath the purple night sky, a giant snake wrapped all over in purple patterns was pierced by a giant sword constructed from mana, and Frieren blasted it into charcoal relying on Destruction Thunder Magic...
"What time is it, A Yan?"
Flamme asked with a bored expression. She couldn't raise any interest in monsters whose mana fluctuations didn't exceed level forty.
"The tenth time, I suppose."
Li Yan looked at the brown, large three-headed pangolin before him, speaking with some uncertainty.
The teleport magic circle surfaced once more. This time's teleport magic circle was different from the previous ones, being a crimson blood red.
"It seems we've reached the end."
Observing the teleport formation, Flamme spoke with a faint smile. As the group stepped onto the teleport formation and experienced a stretch of illusory space, upon opening their eyes, what lay before them was a massive cavern, and a winged dragon-type monster was spitting its long tongue while gazing at Li Yan and the others.
"A lizard magical beast that has transformed into a dragon, with mana fluctuations around level forty. It seems this is already the strongest of this low-level dungeon."
Flamme judged thus, and Li Yan stepped forward. This strongest monster would be handed over to him to kill.
