The pace of Li Yu and his group's progress was slowed down. Li Yu unexplored Dungeon was teeming with monsters, which significantly hampered their progress.

Fortunately, they managed to reach the 27th floor before nightfall. Looking at the entrance, they exchanged bewildered glances, then turned to Li Yu. Asuna couldn't help but ask, "Should we just go in, kill the boss, and spend the night here?"

Hearing what the other person said, Li Yu nodded. Of course, that's how it is. Otherwise, would they spend the night in the passage? Li Yu wouldn't do that, so they should go inside.

Seeing Li Yu nod, Xia Yu couldn't help but say, "So, let us do it this time? Class monitor and Ais, please don't interfere!"

Xia Yu wanted to give it a try and see if they could defeat the boss with their own strength, while Li Yu and Ais only needed to provide support.

"Sure, you can do it yourselves. Yukino knows ice True Magic anyway." Faced with this request, Li Yu had nothing to say and readily agreed. If they wanted to try, then let them try.

If that doesn't work, Li Yu and the others can step in later. After discussing it, everyone headed inside.

The 27th floor of their world appeared even more complex. Before they even stepped inside, they were blocked by tree roots. Looking at the tree roots blocking their way, Li Yu frowned and immediately said, "Step back!"

After saying that, Li Yu took out his staff. Seeing this, the others retreated a little. Li Yu raised his staff and pointed it forward. The Magic Array that Piercing Magic Cannon was activated, and the next moment a beam of light shot out.

Boom! The Piercing Magic Cannon pierced through the tree roots in front of them, opening up the path that was blocking their way. The beam also shattered some of the tree roots on the 27th floor.

At the same time, the attack also awakened the floor master of this floor. The floor master, who had already been born, was sleeping in the lake at the moment. The sudden loud noise immediately woke it up.

Li Yu's senses were always active, so he immediately noticed the floor master inside and found that the other person had also woken up. Li Yu then looked at the others and said, "Go in, you can handle this yourselves."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Xia Yu and the others were immediately filled with excitement. Without any hesitation, they all went inside. After passing through the passage that had been blasted open, they quickly saw the lake.

Furthermore, everyone sensed the Amphisbaena lurking in the lake. Without hesitation, they all rushed out, Asuna even cast a buff on everyone.

Upon reaching the lakeside, Yukino made the first Draw-and-Slash, unleashing a piercingly cold slash that struck the center of the lake. As the ice-elemental slash landed, the entire lake surface began to freeze over in large areas.

The Amphisbaena, which had been lying in ambush, sensed something was wrong and immediately emerged from the water. Seeing this, the others also unleashed ranged attacks without needing any command.

For this familiar boss, everyone already knows what to do: those skilled in melee should attack the red head, as it can negate True Magic, while those more adept at using True Magic should attack the blue one.

Yun Shu, who rushed forward, immediately entered a state of Instant Casting, and magic bullets began to attack the blue head as if they were free. The others followed closely behind, helping to attack as well.

Yukino Yukinoshita continuously released her magic to freeze the entire lake surface, creating a foothold for everyone. With the group's cooperation, the boss was immediately restrained from both sides.

Li Yu, along with Ais and Lefiya, brought Haruhime and Bell out as well. Looking at the boss in the distance, Li Yu couldn't help but say to Bell, "Bell, go give it a few magic bullets."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Bell was momentarily stunned. He pointed to himself, then looked at the floor manager and asked, "Me?"

Was Li Yu joking? Could he really do it? He stared blankly at the floor master in the arena, who was being held back by both sides. He was going to fight the floor master of the 27th floor?

"I'm not asking you to fight head-on, I'm just letting you use your True Magic to get close. This is the time to achieve great things!" Li Yu looked at Bell with some speechlessness.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Bell immediately understood what Li Yu meant. Without hesitation, he quickly followed. If that was all, then he was fine.

After he left, Li Yu said to Haruhime, "Haruhime, go and cast a True Magic Uchide no Kozuchi on Asuna to raise her level by one."

After instructing Bell, Li Yu then gave instructions to Haruhime. Upon hearing this, Haruhime nodded and hurriedly went out as well.

After the two left, Li Yu also got to work. He glanced at Ais and Lefiya beside him and said, "Let's clear away the tree roots on this floor and create a better environment for everyone."

The Loki Familia were taken aback when they suddenly heard Li Yu say that, but after looking at the situation, they realized that there seemed to be no problem with what they were doing, since there were just too many tree roots on this level.

"Okay!" Ais agreed without much thought, drew her weapon, and began chopping down trees. The sisters Lefiya and Tiona, also joined in.

Seeing this, Li Yu silently began to use penetrating True Magic to thoroughly clear away the tree roots on this floor. If he wanted to summon Juggernaut, he would have to cause some damage to these floors.

This floor is so wild. Judging from the way the Dungeon is recovering, even if I clear out a lot of things, it won't be long before it's back to normal, right?

Unlike here, the 27th floor in the other side of the dungeon requires you to clear your own way in. Combined with the conditions for the birth of Juggernaut, Li Yu has a method worth verifying.

That means this layer needs to be completely shattered before a geographical environment like the one in Danmaku can be formed, because that's what those guys from the Evilus did, wasn't it?

Li Yu thought, "Let's just break through here and see if we can really summon the boss." While clearing away the surrounding tree roots, Li Yu sensed the weak points of this level.

Meanwhile, Asuna and the others were engaged in a fierce battle. Bell and Haruhime joined in as well. Bell seized an opportunity and released two magic bullets, which hit one of the heads directly.

Upon arriving, Haruhime immediately called out to Asuna, "Miss Asuna, please accept my True Magic!!"

Her shout startled Asuna, who was attacking, and she immediately retreated without a word. The others quickly followed suit, as they all knew what Haruhime's True Magic was like.

This is True Magic that can forcibly raise a person's level by one. If Asuna accepts it, her strength will break through to the Fifth Tier, and then the battle will probably be much easier.

Not everyone is like Li Yu, who could suppress this floor master at the fourth level. Although everyone's combined attack can suppress this Amphisbaena, taking it down quickly will definitely not be so easy.

Well, everyone's attack power seems a bit insufficient. Although they can deal damage, it's not enough; without Li Yu's high burst damage, it's still not enough.

The power of the Uchide no Kozuchi fell upon Asuna, instantly elevating her aura by more than one level. Feeling her current power, Asuna was immediately excited.

"Thanks~!" Asuna exclaimed and charged out instantly. A gust of wind howled, and her body was enveloped in emerald green magic. She charged directly at the blue head.

Asuna assumed a fighting stance and swiftly thrust out several swords. Then, several sword energies burst forth instantly, rushing towards the blue head in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a series of "boom boom boom" explosions.

"Awooo!!" A pitiful scream echoed throughout the cave as Asuna's attack sent the blue head flying to the other side.

Looking at the attack she had unleashed, Asuna was immediately excited. This was the power of the Fifth Tier! This was amazing! Thinking of this, Asuna charged forward again.

The red head, which had been trying to provide support by spewing red mist towards Asuna, was suddenly struck by Liang Feifan's attack, which drew its aggro back to her.

Li Yu had witnessed the whole thing, paid no further attention. It was only a matter of time before Asuna and the others took down this floor master. He focused on finding the weak points of this floor, not only those below but also those above.

With his perception fully activated, Li Yu sensed everything on the entire 27th floor, including the deeper ground structure below. Before long, Li Yu found the place he wanted, and the two locations were even adjacent to each other.

One can sense the situation on the floors above, and the other can sense the situation on the floors below. In other words, if Li Yu breaks through the floor of the 26th floor and causes the floors above to collapse, then the floor of the 27th floor will also be affected by the aftershocks.

Finally, both the upper and lower levels would collapse, causing widespread damage underground. With this in mind, Li Yu made his decision and turned his gaze toward Asuna.

With the help of the Uchide no Kozuchi, her combat power has greatly increased. She has already dealt with the blue head and is now leading the group to attack the red head.

Seeing this, Li Yu immediately issued an order through the mark on his hand, "Quickly eliminate it, then everyone head towards the passage to the 26th floor."

Li Yu's sudden order startled everyone, but they didn't think much of it and instead intensified their efforts to kill the last head. Even Ais and the others didn't understand what Li Yu wanted to do.

After clearing away some tree roots, Ais and the others returned to the entrance between the 27th and 26th floors. Asuna, having received Li Yu's instructions, intensified her attack and quickly took down the remaining head.

As the other party disappeared, everyone hurriedly picked up its dropped items and then quickly retreated to the passage. Seeing that Li Yu was almost there, he also began to move.

A massive Magic Array was released through Li Yu's staff, which he aimed directly at a spot on the ceiling of the 27th floor, a move that puzzled everyone.

Everyone instinctively extended their senses over there, curious about what was there. However, their senses were not as sharp as Li Yu's, and they were unable to detect what it was.

Piercing Magic Cannon fired, Li Yu's figure vanished from his spot, using Teleportation Magic to return to the group. Just as everyone was about to ask him something, a loud bang rang out.

The penetrating True Magic struck the weakest point of that floor directly. The next moment, the entire floor began to shake, and everyone who noticed this paled. The ceiling of the 27th floor began to collapse at that instant.

Huge rocks began to fall and crash down below. Everyone who witnessed this was stunned. Asuna looked at Li Yu, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Li Yu, are you planning to demolish these floors?"

As her voice faded, a boulder struck the weakest point on the 27th floor, triggering another collapse. At that moment, Li Yu unleashed a True Magic that protected everyone inside.

"That's right, because I noticed that the difference between this place and Ais's place is that Ais's place seems to have collapsed several times before it ended up like that!" Li Yu didn't deny it; he did indeed want to do that.

Hearing this, Ais and the others were stunned for a moment, and Lefiya's expression changed drastically as she said, "You want to summon the special boss of this floor?"

She knew about Juggernaut, after all, this floor master was the murderer who caused the destruction of a certain Familia and even caused the deaths of countless adventurers.

"That's right. Since we're already here, we can't miss the boss. You guys stay in the passage, I'll go fight it." Li Yu looked at the collapsed Dungeon and became excited.

After confirming Li Yu's plan, Lefiya felt a chill run down her spine. Good heavens, how could Li Yu dare to do this? If they couldn't win, everyone would be doomed here!

"I'll go with you!!" Ais was equally excited when she heard about the special boss. She had never fought a boss like this before, and how could Ais miss such an opportunity?

"No, you need to stay and protect everyone from now on, because that boss is very fast. If we're not careful, you might all be wiped out." However, Li Yu refused.

Since Li Yu planned to deal with Juggernaut himself, and since he had already summoned him, it would naturally be a one-on-one fight. Ais could just act as a bodyguard for everyone; he could handle it himself.

Moreover, if Ais were to join, Li Yu might feel constrained, as he might not have much opportunity to protect her. It would be best for her to stay here and protect the others.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Ais felt a little regretful, but she didn't say anything more. She thought she could challenge him to a duel another time. Looking at the collapsing Dungeon in front of her, she wondered if this was how the boss was summoned. She made a mental note of it!

Several of the weakest points were hit hard; floors 26, 27, and 28 collapsed, creating a huge crater before them. Once the collapse stopped, Li Yu withdrew his True Magic and said, "You all stay here, I'm going down!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but Haruhime couldn't help but ask, "Lord Li Yu, do you need my True Magic?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately shook his head and said, "No need. Save your True Magic for Ais later. If I fail to stop that boss and they come towards you, use your True Magic on Ais immediately."

"Just kidding, Li Yu knows the other party's True Magic himself, so there's no need for that." After saying this, Li Yu Li Yu down and disappeared from the spot in the dim environment.

Looking at the situation below, Xia Yu took off her Space Backpack, rummaged through it for a while, and then pulled out a large, powerful flashlight to shine down on the area.

Seeing Xia Yu's actions, the others were stunned for a moment. Many of them had actually bought this thing, and they also took it out and shone it down below, instantly illuminating the area as bright as day.

The others scattered and ran to other places to shine the powerful spotlight on them from every angle. Li Yu had just landed on the ground, was speechless when he saw the situation above.

But this is fine too. He looked around and saw that Li Yu was now standing on a mountain of rocks, all of which had fallen from the top two layers.

The surrounding area was filled with water flowing back down. There was groundwater on the 27th and 28th floors, and now that it had collapsed, all that water was flowing into this area.

The floor he was on was already the 30th floor, much larger than the floors above. Li Yu's senses were activated, and the water flowing down from above had already flooded the surrounding area.

The collapse caused by so many layers also affected the Dungeon. At this moment, Li Yu felt as if he was locked onto by something. In his perception, a floor master exuding a cold aura was being born.

A huge Magic Stone emerged from the ground and slowly formed a 3-4 meter long crawling creature with long limbs, sharp claws, and a long, sharp tail. Its dark purple skin radiated a cold metallic luster.

Juggernaut finally appeared, emerging from the darkness. If Li Yu hadn't been able to sense it, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Even before it was born, it had already locked onto Li Yu. The moment it was fully born, its body vanished from its original spot and appeared in front of Li Yu as if it had teleported, raising its sharp claws to attack Li Yu.

The speed was like Teleportation... Seeing the monster Juggernaut rushing towards him, Li Yu was completely excited. Kenkeiko and began to copy everything about the monster in front of him.

Whether it's its speed, its attack power, or its ability to reflect True Magic, Li Yu wants it all. Wasn't destroying all these layers all for this moment?
