Thunder Blade Shadow: Modified

"Heh heh. Huh?"

Tione, who had been chuckling, suddenly noticed the weapon in her hand smoking. The blade that had initially attacked the monster had melted, and the corrosion was rapidly spreading to other parts.

She quickly threw the weapon on the ground. In just a few seconds, Tione's weapon had melted into nothing.

"No way! My great dual blades!"

Tione stared incredulously at the completely dissolved weapon on the ground. This was a weapon she had saved up for a long time to have a top blacksmith forge for her. Thinking of her lost weapon and her lost money, Tione almost burst into tears on the spot.

Suddenly, Tione grabbed the Tione beside her and jumped aside.

Where they had just been standing, a monster appeared. The monster had taken advantage of the two women's distraction and had pressed down on them with its body.

"Bastard!"

Bete roared and charged forward. He stomped on his right foot and leaped, flipping in mid-air and kicking the Green Caterpillar Monster's chin. The powerful kick swept away all the monsters crawling out of the entrance.

"Stop standing there wasting time, you idiot Amazon sisters. They'll be back any second!"

"But how are we supposed to fight something like that?!"

Tione looked at the remnants of her great dual blades on the ground, on the verge of tears. Even her weapon had melted after attacking the monster, and now without a weapon, she was helpless against them.

"We can't even attack freely like this anymore."

Tione also felt a headache as she watched the monsters crawl out again. Their weapons didn't have an indestructible property.

"Tione, Tione!"

At this moment, Finn's voice rang out beside them. He and Riveria and the others had also arrived.

"Captain!"

"We can only burn them to ashes with magic. Draw their attention and buy time for the incantation."

Finn had noticed the threat of these monsters on his way here. They were a natural counter to melee fighters like them.

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

"Wait a moment, Finn!"

At this moment, Lu Qiming stopped the Amazon sisters and the others who were about to rush out.

"What's wrong, Qiming?"

Finn looked at Lu Qiming in confusion. Did he still want to deal with these monsters alone? After all, so many monsters, and they were from the 51st Floor, completely different from the monsters on the upper floors.

"Leave these monsters to me."

"No! Even with your strength, Qiming, you can't deal with this many monsters!"

Finn shook his head and looked ahead. Monsters were crawling out of the entrance to the 51st Floor in a dense swarm, their numbers and strength completely on a different level from the previous floors.

"Don't worry."

Lu Qiming smiled slightly and patted Finn's shoulder. He knew Finn was worried about him, but...

"Did I say I was using my full strength?"

Lu Qiming said with a smile, holding Divine Judgment, and slowly walked towards the monster horde. The sound of thunder began to ring out, and visible golden lightning wrapped around Lu Qiming. The ground he walked on emitted a burnt smell under the ravage of the lightning.

"Musou!"

His physical abilities began to improve rapidly across the board, and infinite power filled his body. The lightning wrapped around him began to converge on the blade of Divine Judgment, dyeing the blade golden. The lightning-formed blade began to lengthen continuously.

When Lu Qiming stopped, two forty-meter-long golden greatswords appeared in his hands.

'Thunder Blade Shadow: Modified.'

He slightly crouched, his face with a manic smile lifted, his dark eyes flashing with bloodthirsty red light, staring intently at the monsters ahead.

"Hehehe, dance!"

An unusual mental pressure emanated from Lu Qiming, sweeping across the entire 50th Floor. The monsters that had been crawling towards the expedition team's camp all stopped, looking back in fear.

The next second, thunder light shot up into the sky. Lu Qiming's figure turned into lightning and swiftly passed by each monster. Wherever the lightning passed, all monsters turned into uniform fragments, their internal fluids vaporized by the lightning before they could even spray out.

In the blink of an eye, all the monsters that had poured out of the passage turned into black ash. In mid-air, Lu Qiming's figure once again turned into lightning and charged directly towards the 51st Floor. The monsters that were surging towards the 50th Floor were instantly pierced by the lightning.

"What is this!"

Tione looked at the numerous monsters in front of her being instantly dealt with by Lu Qiming. Moreover, at the entrance to the 51st Floor, a dark passage had appeared in the middle of the original stone staircase, with wisps of lightning still lingering on it. Magic Stones were scattered on both sides of the passage.

"This is Qiming's true strength!?"

Finn looked at the scene before him and gave a wry smile. It seemed that his battles with him a few days ago were just him playing around.

"Um. Captain, what should we do now?"

Lefiya, suppressing her trembling thighs, walked up to Finn and asked. The moment Lu Qiming's unusual mental pressure swept over her body, she felt death closer than ever before, as if she had already died the moment that pressure passed.

Finn looked at his companions, then at the traces left by Lu Qiming as he charged into the 51st Floor. After a moment of thought, he looked at everyone.

"Tione, Tione, Ais, Bete, Gareth, Riveria, and I will be the main force. Lefiya and Raul will be support. Prepare to enter the 51st Floor and catch up to Qiming."

"Yes!"

"Finally, it's time!"

Except for Lefiya, everyone Finn had summoned shouted with full confidence. They had been unable to hold back for a long time; ever since entering the Dungeon, they had been stuck in the back collecting Magic Stone and drops, and their hands had been itching for action.

"You're too tense, Lefiya!"

Tione took Lefiya's hand and gave her a gentle hug.

"Tione?"

"Still, since we're entering uncharted territory, it's asking too much for you not to be nervous."

"Yes."

Lefiya lowered her head, not daring to look at Tione. She knew that as a mage, her fear would prevent her from chanting spells, and she would only end up dragging everyone down.

Honestly!

Watching Lefiya with her head bowed, Tione pulled her firmly into her arms.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will protect Lefiya. And if something happens to us..."

"I will use my magic to save you all!"

Hearing Lefiya's words, Tione smiled, let her go, and gently patted her head.

"Let's go, the Captain and the others are already prepared to set off."

51st Floor Entrance.

Finn stood before the group.

"Everyone, we are about to enter the 51st Floor, and it will be hell! Although an unexpected incident has forced us to enter a day early, I will absolutely not abandon my comrades!"

Finn finished speaking and looked at the group. Although Lu Qiming's premature charge into the 51st Floor had forced them to enter ahead of schedule, Finn did not blame Lu Qiming. In that situation, if they hadn't entered the 51st Floor to block all the monsters below, the endless stream of creatures would have eventually bypassed them due to their sheer numbers, destroying the camp and even causing casualties among the logistics personnel.
