The Old Lady Would Just Steal It Herself (continued)
There was no intense collision as expected!
The imposing dragon flames were easily cleaved in two by the figure wreathed in a storm of air currents.
Despite the raging dragon flames, Ais covered a distance of over a hundred meters in an instant.
The lush green lawn had been turned into a wasteland by the aftershocks of the two attacks. As Ais continued to advance, the ground behind her resembled a trench dug during a war, forming a long and deep path.
The hideous Two-Headed Dragon was right in front of Ais.
Sensing the imminent danger of death, "Amphisbaena" decisively abandoned its futile attempt to maintain the dragon flame and opened its gaping maw full of fangs, lunging at Ais.
With a gentle spin, Ais, like a dancing dark elf, gracefully avoided the pincer attack from the two dragon heads.
"Amphisbaena," whose desperate attack missed, stared in terror through its blood-red dragon eyes at the figure that had already leaped into the air.
Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Ais roared, adjusted her position in mid-air, and then, as if her feet were on the ground, she flew straight towards the connection between the two dragon heads.
Ais poured all the destructive energy, enough to tear everything apart, into the pale tip of the "Despair Sword."
Hard dragon scales!
Firm muscles!
Thick dragon bones!
Before this sword, they were like fragile tofu, utterly meaningless.
The dragon's body is over 20 meters long, with a straight white line extending from the middle of its two heads.
Immediately, "Amphisbaena" was smashed to the ground on either side, just like pieces of meat cut up by a butcher.
Ais was also kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.
The enhanced "Amphisbaena" already possessed the physical level of "Udaeus," which is why William and his companions did not continue to delve deeper into the Dungeon to search for higher-level monsters after encountering "Amphisbaena."
"Ais, congratulations!"
William ignored the floor master's corpse, which had turned into black smoke, and leaped straight to Ais's side.
"William!"
The joy of Ais's reply to him, which failed to defeat "Amphisbaena," instead sounded somewhat depressing to William.
"What's wrong? Are you injured?"
William frowned and began to scan Ais's delicate body.
Ais had her back to William, turned around, slowly raised her right hand that was hanging at her side, and slowly opened it.
A William sword hilt appeared in William's eyes, but the difference was that the blade that should have been attached to the hilt was nowhere to be seen.
"The sword is shattered!"
Seeing Ais's depressed expression, William's furrowed brows relaxed, and for some reason, he even felt an urge to laugh.
"Isn't this normal? Besides, I already advised you to wait until the 'Despair Sword' was reforged before coming back!"
William had firmly refused Ais's advances, as it would be extremely dangerous if the sword failed to withstand Ais's magic and broke during the battle.
Ais's "Ariel" and his "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang" are completely different!
His "Swift Thunder Chasing Fang" doesn't cause that much damage to weapons.
Ais's defining characteristic is its powerful cutting ability. While this ability inflicts significant damage on enemies, it also causes considerable wear and tear on the weapon.
Otherwise, Ais wouldn't have attached the "Despair Sword" with a non-destructive attribute that most adventurers wouldn't choose.
Only weapons with indestructible properties can withstand the damage from her wind magic.
"I reckon that when the Gobnu gave you this sword, he must have already taken your magical abilities into account!"
"But he probably doesn't know that you also have a skill that's specifically designed to kill monsters, which can significantly boost your damage output."
"That's why the sword shattered immediately after you used that attack!"
William thoughtfully analyzed the situation for Ais's face grew increasingly somber as she listened to William.
"But if I don't use my skills, I might not be able to win!"
"I'm not criticizing you for using your skills, I'm criticizing you for being in such a hurry to get your personal weapon repaired!"
William glanced sideways at Ais, who still didn't understand where she had gone wrong.
"If you're using the 'Despair Sword,' no matter how you use your skills, the blade will never break."
"It's a good thing your sword broke after the battle was over. What would you have done if it had broken during the battle?"
William's tone also carried a reprimanding tone.
"My sword is broken, William will protect me!"
Ais understood the implication in William's words and quietly defended herself.
Even if you say that, it won't change the fact that your debt has increased!
"And a sword that can withstand your 'Ariel' probably won't be cheap!"
These words were like a wake-up call, immediately reminding Ais of the things she was trying so hard to forget.
Her small mouth pursed slightly, and her delicate face scrunched up in a frown.
She felt she could soon form a gold-farming team with Tiona.
"Alright, let's go back!"
"You should have no problem upgrading to level 6."
Seeing that Ais seemed to be reflecting on her actions, William stopped criticizing Ais.
"Okay!"
The moment the topic of going back was mentioned, Ais's somewhat dejected expression vanished instantly.
Compared to the minor loss of Valis, going back to Loki to upgrade her abilities is far more important to Ais.
Just as William and Ais were about to step into the cave passage leading to the 24th floor, a large and imposing group of people appeared before them.
