Chapter 33: Monster Party, Minotaur Attack!
"Ding—"
A crisp sound of impact resonated as a sword pierced through the body of an Almiraj, pinning it to the wall.
Then, with a "bang," the Almiraj's body instantly burst open, turning into a cloud of black smoke and disappearing, leaving behind a faint purple magic stone lying quietly there.
Such scenes were quite common in the dungeon.
"It works well, but it's a bit expensive~"
Opening the gate to the 'Imaginary Space', Ethan slowly collected all the weapons and magic stones.
However, possessing such a cool ability, it felt awkward not to use it.
It's like when you're in school and you buy the latest smartphone; can you resist using it and showing off?
Looking at the long sword in his hand, the blade was already noticeably worn, even though it wasn't particularly sharp; its lifespan was already counting down.
After tidying up the surroundings, Ethan's gaze turned straight ahead.
The place where Ethan was currently located was the sixteenth floor of the dungeon.
Just a short distance through the passage, and he would enter the seventeenth floor.
This was Ethan's mission for today: to explore the seventeenth floor of the dungeon.
The seventeenth floor of the dungeon was the room of the Floor Boss and also the necessary passage to the safe zone on the eighteenth floor.
The Floor Boss, also known as the 'Lonely King of the Labyrinth', was a term for monsters that have existed since ancient times.
They were the only ones that moved alone on their birth floor, called the [Floor Boss].
[Floor Boss] usually possessed a strength about 2 levels higher than other monsters in the same area, and their respawn cycle was not fixed.
Although the criteria for judging the strength of the Floor Boss were the same as for adventurers, they often had huge bodies and powerful special abilities and armaments, making them more dangerous than adventurers of the same level and often requiring multiple adventurers of the same level to defeat.
Like the Floor Boss of the seventeenth floor, Goliath, with a potential ability value at around level 4.
For most adventurers, it was a disaster they couldn't contend with. Once encountered, it was either death or injury.
"Step, step, step..."
Unlike the cave environment before, the seventeenth-floor area was very bright, with many crystals around.
In addition, there was an immensely huge crystal wall.
It was said that Goliath was born from this crystal wall.
Ethan was not clear about this, although he had seen the scene in the anime.
However, that was just watching through the screen in his previous life, and he couldn't remember it very clearly now.
"Wow~"
Walking in the passage of the seventeenth floor, Ethan looked at the huge crystal wall in front of him, feeling indescribably shocked.
Indeed, what he saw with his own eyes was completely different from what he saw in the anime.
Such a miraculous structure would definitely be made into a tourist attraction in the world before he transmigrated.
"Crack—"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Suddenly, there were various sounds coming from the surrounding walls.
Ethan subconsciously looked over, and there was one after another groove appearing on the walls, and Minotaurs standing erect emerged from the walls.
Minotaurs, monsters with strength around level 2, and with a large number, it was obvious that this was not a normal situation.
"A Monster Party~"
Watching this scene, Ethan was also somewhat surprised, but then his expression turned cold.
A Monster Party, a special situation that rarely occurred in the dungeon, where a large number of monsters would suddenly spawn, forming a scale. For most adventurers, it was a disaster.
"Roar—"
Just born, the Minotaur let out roars.
Here, with only Ethan in the area, he naturally became their primary target.
Ethan also roughly counted; there were about thirteen or fourteen Minotaurs, and he was just a level 1 adventurer.
Now, facing so many level 2 opponents, it was indeed a considerable challenge!
"Grrrrr—"
Accompanied by roars, these Minotaurs rushed towards Ethan quickly.
Seeing this, Ethan didn't dare to be careless at all.
A crack tore open the space beside him, followed by a pitch-black pure black long sword.
This sword was given to him by Ottar early this morning.
The Black Sword, a second-class weapon, was something even some level 3s and 4s in Orario couldn't afford.
"Bang—"
The Minotaur at the front had already rushed over.
Ethan dodged backward, avoiding the Minotaur's attack.
Although it was just a monster, its fighting style was still very brutal.
"Swoosh—"
Then, Ethan swung the black sword in his hand, but the effect was minimal.
The tough body of the Minotaur only suffered a slight scratch from Ethan's attack, barely considered an injury.
As a level 2 monster, the Minotaur's defense was far above the monsters he previously encountered.
"Boom—"
However, at this moment, the Minotaur's attack also arrived.
With ferocious impact, especially with its sharp horns, it directly pierced Ethan's skin, leaving two blood holes on Ethan's body.
Not only that, under the tremendous force of the impact, Ethan was also sent flying.
"Cough, cough..."
Ethan covered his chest, feeling that his entire chest was burning.
Furthermore, there were blood holes on his stomach and left chest, blood continuously flowing out.
At this moment, Ethan felt like he was back to more than half a month ago when he first entered the dungeon, weak and struggling to survive.
"I'm still too weak~"
Strength, when needed, was always insufficient, just like now. To be honest, Ethan hated this feeling.
"Roar—"
And at this moment, the other Minotaurs behind also rushed up.
Ethan had no doubt that if he faced so many Minotaurs at once, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Boom—"
"Mana Burst—"
Magic energy burst out of Ethan's body.
In the next second, Ethan's physical qualities were boosted to another level by the amplification of 'Mana Burst'.
"Swoosh—"
Not daring to waste any time, Ethan went up and swiftly stabbed at the waist of the Minotaur.
However, the tough muscles of the Minotaur hindered his attack.
And then, with a 'boom,' Ethan was sent flying again.
After all, there was not only one Minotaur here; if you attacked one, the others would attack you too.
Not only that, the black sword also slipped from his hand and remained inserted in the Minotaur's body.
"Spit—"
Spitting out the blood clot in his mouth, Ethan's gaze began to change. From the initial panicked expression to a determined look.
Facing these Minotaurs, he probably had to fight desperately, otherwise, it would be almost impossible to escape unscathed. It was a kill or be killed situation.
"Drip—"
As he spoke, a drop of ink-like black mud dripped from Ethan's body.
