Carian Greatsword and the Sword Saint

Escape, the only option is to escape.

As Leon and his companions sprinted back the way they came, the thought involuntarily crossed their minds:

What genius came up with the idea of enlarging an iron ball on Invisible Bridge?

It's an invisible giant iron ball!

Perhaps from the moment they stepped onto the Invisible Bridge, they fell into the trap of the Zane Dungeon.

First, use a short, safe route to confuse them, then introduce a seemingly clumsy trap to lure them in.

It's unclear when the invisible giant iron ball rolled towards them, but it's certain that both the defenseless monsters hanging on the wall and their continuous screams as they were kicked down were designed to affect Leon and Da Er's senses, making them completely unaware of the impending danger.

That's strange. Why didn't the Invisible Bridge vibrate when the iron ball rolled? If it had, they would have been able to detect it beforehand.

All the words can be summed up in one sentence—

"Damn Raya Lucaria!"

Leon hadn't forgotten that the background story here was that the Raya Lucarian Magician invited them to conduct experiments.

Is this how experiments are conducted? They're treating people like monkeys!

"Ghrū!"

The giant iron ball approached relentlessly, exuding immense pressure; the sound of it rolling seemed as if it would hit their faces at any moment.

This thing is actually accelerating continuously. At this rate, the two of them will be crushed by the iron ball sooner or later before they get back to the cliff.

Leon glanced at Da Er beside him, made up his mind, and suddenly grabbed the other's arm.

"What are you doing?" Da Er was startled. He suddenly remembered the little story Luo Jieer had told him about being chased by monsters while hunting in the mountains. Could it be—

Leon suddenly exerted his strength and flung him violently towards the starting line!

"Etc!"

Da Er stared wide-eyed in mid-air. He hadn't expected Leon to throw him back to the edge of the cliff first. But wouldn't Leon be crushed by the iron ball then?

The answer is that they will definitely be crushed, and it will happen in the next second.

Before being engulfed by the iron ball, Leon gave him a bright smile.

"Ghrū!"

Consciousness plunged into darkness, as if adrift in a black ocean.

Not long after, when Leon woke up, he found himself back in his room. It seemed that what had just Event Level and he wouldn't actually die.

[You have received a harsh reward from the Raya Lucarian Magician.]

Large Chunk of Cracked Glintstone x5

[A radiant stone imbued with unstable magic power; when used by consuming magic power, it releases a large number of magic orbs to attack enemies.]

Low-quality and easily broken brilliance stones are not worth a mage's attention.

What a stingy reward!

Leon looked at the Cracked Glintstone that had appeared in his hand and sensed a dangerous power within it, which could be activated with just a little magic.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. How can a magician not even care about such things? That's incredibly arrogant.

He carefully put these things away, after all, the description said they were of poor quality and easily damaged.

Everyone has magic within them, and theoretically everyone can use magic. However, the talent threshold prevents most people from using it. Those without magical talent can only relieve their boredom by using magic to activate some magical items.

"I must have looked pretty cool just now, right?"

Leon recalled how he had risked his life to save someone, and no matter how he thought about it, he must have looked incredibly handsome.

Since we couldn't escape anyway, we might as well sacrifice ourselves to save others.

If there truly are gods watching over the actions of people around the world, then Leon must have gone to heaven after his death.

"Hehe," he suddenly chuckled twice, stood up, dusted himself off, and planned to greet Da Er's thanks in a spirited manner when he came out.

He had just decided what pose to strike when suddenly a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Da Er had returned.

"Huh?"

Leon looked down and met Da Er's gaze. He asked, somewhat bewildered, "Why are you back so soon?"

It hasn't been more than a few minutes since he was teleported out, so how could the other person have died so quickly?

Da Er's cheeks twitched, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it turned into a sigh, and he said softly:

"You've misjudged me,"

Leon's expression froze instantly.

It seems, indeed, that he threw it too hastily and didn't notice the Rainbow Stone on the ground, unexpectedly throwing Da Er off the bridge.

During the few minutes that passed between the two, Da Er was in freefall.

It's like there's a bug; no matter how hard I try, I can't die, I just keep falling.

Because the rift was so deep, during this time he went from the initial terror of falling to calm to numbness, and finally chose to slit his own throat.

Life will find a way. jpg

They looked at each other in silence, and finally decided to forget about it and not mention it again after they left.

Continuing their exploration, it seems they are about to encounter the third Elite Monsters. This progress is already breaking records. Yesterday, Leon and Delu were killed by various accidents after killing the first Elite Monsters.

"I wonder how far the others have progressed in their strategies," Leon muttered to himself.

Roguelike levels can easily make you lose track of time and deviate from the usual adventure activities.

Generally, the normal process of exploring a dungeon involves recording the monsters inside while drawing a map. The monsters in other dungeons are often systematic. Once you figure out the type of one monster, you can deduce the other undiscovered but potentially present monsters.

However, the monsters that appear in Roguelike games are all random and there is no pattern to them—if the prefixes are things like "xx corrupted by the abyss" which are not considered patterned—and the map is just about jumping from room to room by teleporting to treasure chests.

Sometimes Leon wondered if they had actually been in the same room the whole time, and the monsters had just spawned from the teleportation chest while they were in a daze because of the teleportation.

In a way, he guessed right; Gong Qiying really did design it that way to save costs.

"Your teacher must have finished conquering the game," Da Er said after a moment's hesitation, his hesitation stemming from not knowing how to address Jia Paer.

Calling him "sir" feels a bit off, but calling him by his name directly is disrespectful.

"Yes," Leon nodded.

"Teacher, he must have figured it out by the end!"

In a separate room from theirs, Jia Paer paced back and forth around the altar, his brow furrowed.

It looks like you've run into some trouble?

He has already Execute three Elite Monsters, and every time he jumps through space and time after that, there is a chance that he will directly run into the final boss. So why is he stopping at the altar now?

Because, because.

Jia Paer pursed his lips and sighed softly.

He is currently experiencing a happy kind of trouble.

When he offered his humanity at the altar, he encountered an item called "The Bandit's Treasure Chest," which could randomly produce treasures.

The items and treasures he found inside brought him this thing:

[Option 1: Learn three common spells]

[Option Two: Learn an advanced spell]

[Option 3: Learn a random number of amazing magic spells]

His dream of becoming a magician collided with him at this moment!

Happiness came too suddenly! Don't worry about him not being able to use the magic after he gets it, because he obtained a magic wand called the Storyteller Staff in the previous level!

Jia Paer looked at the three options, his heart pounding and his hands trembling, wishing he could select them all.

Damn it! If I can only choose one, why did they have to present three options to tempt me?

These three options were what troubled him, preventing him from making a decision for a long time.

As time ticked by, he knew that if the dungeon closed, his hard-earned "temporary mage trial card" would expire, and he would have nowhere to turn to cry.

Jia Paer gritted his teeth and made the most reckless choice imaginable!

He will choose the third option: to learn magic that will amaze him.

He wanted to see what kind of magic could amaze him—a fiery tornado that swept across the heavens and earth, a life transformation spell that turned mountains into rock giants, or perhaps Dark Portal that devoured everything.

Jia Paer now very excited. He has long envied those magicians who can summon a bunch of awesome special effects to accompany them all the time.

Forget about whether he's strong or not, just tell me if he's handsome or not.

Come, let me learn amazing magic!

[You have learned magic: Carian Greatsword]

Oh ho, it's the Carian Greatsword!!!

Just as the Sword Saint Gapar raised his fist to celebrate, he suddenly stopped.

Wait, Carian what?

He looked at the altar as if in disbelief, where it clearly stated that the magic he had learned was called the Carian Greatsword.

Greatsword

Jia Paer paused for a second. Could this Carian Greatsword be what he was thinking?

He took out the Storyteller Staff, intending to cast the spell to see how it went, but hesitated to do so.

Jia Paer was just thinking about how he would have a good time shooting after he got the magic, but now he suddenly doesn't dare to.

After some persuasion, he finally released the magic.

Azure magic condensed on the magic wand into a beautiful Greatsword; looking at it, one could almost feel the gentle caress of moonlight.

Sweep, sweep, and sweep again, until the Greatsword automatically dissipates, Jia Paer remains motionless in his sword-wielding posture.

His expression right now can be summed up in two words:

I'm numb.

Condensing magic into Greatsword and then unleashing a sweeping attack—regardless of its power, the special effects are rather rudimentary.

Jia Paer used his magic once again, but this time he didn't rush to sweep it across. Instead, he carefully examined the Greatsword.

The sword has a clear, deep blue color and a pleasing shape. When magic is released, mysterious runes appear, and it is quite beautiful if you look closely.

He tried to comfort himself, finding various reasons for the Carian Greatsword, attempting to argue that its special effects were no less impressive than large-scale, world-destroying magic.

But as he searched, he fell silent, ultimately saying nothing despite his many words.

Jia Paer slung the Storyteller Staff behind his back, pretending nothing had happened, and walked over to open the teleportation chest.

He needed a fight to calm himself down, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, hoping the monsters ahead would be tough and not die too quickly.

When the smoke from the teleportation chest dissipated, he saw his opponent.

It was a short and thin figure, looking as if a gust of wind would knock him over. His appearance was a mixture of human and animal; not ugly, but certainly not aesthetically pleasing.

Without a doubt, this is a demi -Demi-Human.

Jia Paer silently drew his sword, which already expressed his attitude—disappointment.

Before the battle began, he saw his opponent's name.

[Demi-Human Sword Saint]

This is the final boss.
