Chapter 104 Acquiring Greatness, Adventure

The underground city, the fifteenth floor.

As the last magic stone was thrown into the deep blue-purple vortex, the portal emitted a deep hum and shone brightly.

The intense sense of spatial distortion instantly gripped everyone, as if the whole world was being kneaded, stretched, and then violently thrown out.

As the dizziness subsided like a receding tide, Fen Yu subconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, his wary gaze sweeping over the new surroundings.

This is an unimaginably huge underground cave.

The dome was so high that it almost disappeared into the endless darkness, with no end in sight.

The dark rocky ground, scattered with countless pebbles and ash, was rugged and stretched into the distance.

In the far-off heart of darkness, a soft and fragile blue light floated in mid-air, like a flickering candle in the wind, yet stubbornly illuminating this desolate land.

Earth Vein Suppressing Stone.

Three days have passed since Nazha's request was fulfilled.

For three days, the Fucaros clan did not rest for a moment.

The robin's magical attribute, after repeated high-intensity use of magic, finally broke through the barrier and firmly stepped into the SSS realm in last night's update.

Her other attributes have also improved. Judging from the data, she is fully qualified to upgrade. The only thing she lacks is the most elusive and crucial "great achievement".

Great achievements are the highest recognition of an adventurer's accomplishments and the only ticket to break through the limits of mortals and reach a higher level.

For ordinary adventurers to accumulate experience, the only options besides pushing their limits on the brink of death are to slowly hone their skills over a long period of time.

But Fenyu didn't have that much time to wait.

In order to help the robin, and indeed the entire clan, grow up as quickly as possible, he made a bold decision—

Conquer this secret realm dungeon, "The Palace of Unjust Blame," which is far more difficult than the current level and was created by his skill "The Abyss of the Gaze."

He knew very well that Robin, Tifa, and Violet were different from him.

He pursues the path of a hexagonal warrior with SSS attributes across all stats, while they only need to break through the limits in one or two areas.

Without his extraordinary skills and talents, achieving SSS rank in all attributes would be an almost impossible task.

Originally, Fenyu's plan was to wait until Robin and Tifa reached Lv.2 and had stronger self-defense capabilities before challenging them.

However, in the middle level, no matter how many monsters you kill, the "high-level experience" you can gain is pitifully small, and the accumulation of great achievements is a long way off.

So he decided to take the risk.

With a resounding victory, we will accomplish all the great feats required for Robin, Tifa, and Violet to level up in one fell swoop.

Standing on this secret land, the oppressive feeling in the air almost solidified into a tangible reality.

It wasn't like the oppressive aura of monsters on any floor of the dungeon, but rather a more ancient and savage atmosphere, as if some colossal creature that had slumbered for millennia was casting a cold gaze upon it from all sides of the cave.

Waves of scorching heat surged from the depths, each breath feeling like swallowing scalding flames and sulfur.

The huge, deep claw marks on the rock face looked particularly ferocious under the faint blue light of the stone, as if some giant beast might awaken from the lurking darkness at any moment.

"The oppressive feeling at this level—"

Fen Yu's voice sounded somewhat deep in the scorching air, and he could feel his skin stinging slightly.

Tifa looked around, her long, black hair fluttering in the hot wind, and a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes, which always held a gentle smile.

As a fighter, she has the most acute sense of her environment; this land makes her feel like every cell in her body is sending out alarms.

"Be careful," she whispered, already getting into a fighting stance. "This time, we're going all out."

"clear."

The robin gripped the simple, unadorned staff tightly, but the gem at the tip of the staff did not emit any light; she was deliberately concealing her magic.

She took a deep breath, trying to adjust to the suffocating atmosphere, but her lake-green eyes burned with an unprecedented fighting spirit.

Feng Jin raised her head, her gaze piercing through the distorted heat waves to the deepest shadows.

There, countless scarlet lights, like will-o'-the-wisps in the night, were quietly illuminating.

Densely packed, countless.

"They're here."

She said softly.

In the darkness, the first sound was the ear-piercing noise of countless claws scraping against the rocks.

Hilichurl.

A total of fifty.

They surge forth like a tide from every bottomless crack and from behind every jagged stone pillar.

Those short, hunched figures huddled together, forming a writhing shadow in the dim light.

Beneath their simple totem masks, their scarlet eyes merge into a scorching, burning ocean filled with primal malice.

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble slightly.

Fire Slime.

Twenty.

Those spherical monsters, entirely orange-red with lava-like patterns flowing across their surfaces, rolled along behind the chaotic formation of the Hilichurls.

With each clumsy roll, they left a scorched mark on the hard rocky ground.

The sizzling sound of burning.

The big and the small huddled together, like a group of undeveloped freaks born from the earth's lava core.

"Yayaika!"

A sharp and strange chanting sound rang out.

Hilichurl Shaman.

Ten.

Their hunched bodies were wrapped in tattered animal skin robes, making them appear thinner and smaller than their kind. At the tips of their wooden staffs burned strange, seemingly alive, dark red flames.

That was no ordinary flame; it was a cursed flame, an evil flame, a demonic flame that could cause those with weak minds to lose their way forever in the searing pain.

"Muhe ye!"

The heavy roar shook the entire cave.

Fire Axe Hilichurl Thug.

Five.

They were like small behemoths, over three meters tall, with bulging muscles that made their arms thicker than an average person's waist.

The rough, giant axes in their hands had abyssal black flames burning on their blades, and each swing brought up a scorching, malevolent wind.

Each of their eyes was fixed on the sole blue light in the center of the cave—the earth vein suppressing stone—and the four tiny humans who dared to trespass into this place.

Behind them, in the deeper darkness where even light seemed to be swallowed, five eerie purple flames rose slowly like ghosts, hovering in mid-air.

Fire Abyss Mage.

Five.

This is what the Fukaros Familia will face.

Fifty, twenty, ten, five, and five more.

A terrifying horde of ninety monsters.

Among them were even ten level 3 monsters.
