Boom!!!!
A tremendous roar echoed out!
The monsters before them immediately fell in droves.
But in the next second, an endless stream of monsters surged in from all directions.
In an instant, the path ahead was filled once more.
Seeing this, Ling Xuan frowned.
Though he was indeed very strong, facing such an enormous number of monsters...
Even he found it somewhat troublesome.
After all, even if he wiped out such a massive horde, new monsters would quickly fill the gaps.
"They really are a bit troublesome..."
Ryu Lion also realized the gravity of the situation.
"With just our group, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to deal with these monsters and the Floor Master..."
Ling Xuan nodded as well.
But just then!
A sound suddenly came from the distance.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
"Charge!!!!"
Along with those cries!
Whoosh!
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
An arrow struck one of the monsters before them!
It was an arrow fired by an Elf Archer!
At the same time, a continuous stream of adventurers charged up from behind.
They were the adventurers who had rushed here from the town!
Hestia was slightly stunned at the sight.
"These are the adventurers from town. I didn't expect them to step in too."
"That's only natural... After all, if Goliath isn't defeated here, they'll fall too, won't they?"
"Mr. Ling Xuan..."
Hearing Ryu Lion's voice, Ling Xuan nodded.
Then Heavenly Fire Judgement in his hand continuously let out beastlike roars.
Under the assault of Heavenly Fire Judgement and the many adventurers, a path was forcibly carved through the monster tide before them.
"Leave these monsters to us!"
"You keep moving forward!"
At that moment, the adventurers tacitly split into several groups. One group stayed behind to clear out the monsters before them first.
The other group followed Ling Xuan and the others onward.
Meanwhile, facing such terrifying monsters and the unending monster tide surrounding them, Moder and the other adventurers could only fight desperately!
However, saying the adventurers' counterattacks were useless would be putting it mildly—they could not even break through the defense.
Goliath advanced calmly, roaring as it swung its enormous palms.
One, two...
Adventurers continuously fell beneath Goliath's hands.
Before long, the entire group of adventurers had been wiped out.
Just as Goliath was about to lead its monsters onward.
An accident occurred in the next second.
"--!"
Whoosh--!
In the blink of an eye, an adventurer rushed over like a gust of wind.
Ryu Lion had arrived at the battlefield at last, along with Ling Xuan and the others.
Seeing the corpses scattered across the field, Ryu Lion was the first to attack.
She charged from Goliath's blind spot at its side, accelerating as she put all her strength into a strike—her wooden sword slammed into the enemy's left knee.
Bang!
A crisp sound swept past their eardrums as Goliath's supporting leg took a powerful blow!
Then, the surrounding adventurers could no longer afford to remain afraid.
They followed Ryu Lion and launched their attacks.
"Woooooooh!"
"Hyaaaaaah!"
They attacked with the weapons they specialized in.
Some adventurers somehow pulled out two small bottle-like objects and hurled them fiercely.
The instant they struck Goliath's face, a tremendous explosion erupted.
Some Elf Archers also kept firing arrows--!!!
Countless arrows struck Goliath's massive body.
But clearly, all those attacks had no effect whatsoever on the monster.
They did not even leave a wound...
Seeing this, Mikoto moved swiftly and swung the Eastern sword in her hand.
Clang!
It struck Goliath's left leg with all her might.
In the next second, Mikoto felt the hard impact numb her wrist.
"How is that possible?"
Mikoto's eyes were full of disbelief.
The instant her blade struck, even the blade itself had snapped.
Just how hard was this monster's skin?
Before Mikoto could react.
Goliath let out a terrifying roar.
It raised its left foot, intending to crush Mikoto completely.
The next second!
Two terrifying Flame Dragons came roaring in from afar.
Boom!!!!
A tremendous roar echoed out. Under that attack,
Goliath was briefly knocked unsteady.
Taking advantage of that opening, Mikoto moved quickly.
She soon reached Ling Xuan's side.
"Mr. Ling Xuan, thank you."
Mikoto spoke with a face full of gratitude. If Ling Xuan had not acted, she would probably already be dead.
Ling Xuan merely nodded, then turned his gaze toward Goliath on the other side.
"Even the flames of Heavenly Fire Judgement can only leave burn marks on that monster?"
As Ling Xuan spoke, a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.
Good. A monster like this was worth defeating...
Meanwhile, seeing its prey escape just as it had it in its grasp,
Goliath immediately let out an enraged roar.
Then terrifying magic power began to surge from its body.
Traces of magic power also gathered in its mouth.
Seeing this, Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He gently raised both hands.
Hum--!
Accompanied by a strange sound, the Subspace Spear immediately appeared before him, then shot toward Goliath at an extremely fast speed.
Boom!!!!
In an instant, the monster that was about to unleash its "Roar" was struck by the Subspace Spear.
A peerless explosion erupted at once.
Amid the blast, Goliath let out an indistinct scream.
Ryu Lion decisively seized that opportunity.
Ryu Lion leaped into the air, rushing onto the giant's back in the blink of an eye before launching a fierce attack at the back of its head.
Using the recoil from her wide swing of the wooden sword, she kicked Goliath in the cheek.
But clearly, such an attack alone was still far from enough against this monster.
Ryu Lion was equally shocked.
"So hard... and it moves so fast. As expected, it's different from an ordinary Floor Master."
A standard Goliath appearing on the 17th floor possessed strength equivalent to Level 4.
Ryu Lion and her former companions had defeated the same kind of monster several times, but based on her experience, the individual they faced now could not be compared to those at all.
Its defense was enough to numb her hands. It also possessed the long-range weapon "Roar," which it normally did not have. Most terrifying of all were its reactions and the agility of its initial movements, things a super-large monster should not possess.
This monster before them—even Level 5 adventurers might not be able to defeat it.
Even so, Ryu Lion did not despair.
Though under these circumstances, one person could never defeat the enemy before them.
But—Ryu Lion was not fighting alone.
It was not because she trusted the adventurers around her, but because of Ling Xuan!
For some reason, Ryu Lion was filled with confidence in Ling Xuan.
Meanwhile, Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes at the monster before him.
"Leave those monsters to yourselves. I'll handle this one."
Hearing those words, all the adventurers present were stunned!
"What? Are you crazy?"
"You want to challenge Goliath alone? Did you not wake up yet?"
