They opened their single eye and shouted at the crowd.
A larger Disaster Scorpion also blocked the entrance at the other end of the hall.
"Level… 3!"
As soon as Artemis finished speaking, she saw Link's blue sword fly out, directly slicing open the Disaster Scorpion.
Monsters with strength reaching level 3 were killed in one hit.
She looked at Link in surprise and saw him waving his weapon again.
The bloody spear flew out along with the light gun behind him, cutting off all the insect eggs above his head and severing some of the proliferating tissue, revealing the mottled stone wall.
The Little Disaster Scorpion roared at everyone. On the walls and on the ground, countless scorpions attacked from different directions.
The damaged proliferative tissue also twisted, just like the Zerg carpet in "StarCraft."
A little girl attacked a scorpion, her eyes narrowing slightly:
"Wow... it's become hard!" This group of monsters is truly unexpected.
They can actually multiply and evolve on their own!
...
Orario, the labyrinth city.
"Hey, my cup..."
Eina had a rare moment of free time after handling a lot of work. She had just made a cup of black tea and sat down, but suddenly cracks appeared on the cup in her hand.
"What's wrong?"
Misha walked over and couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the broken cup, "Huh? Your cup..."
"Well, I quite like this cup," Eina said, taking a handkerchief to wipe away the dripping black tea.
"How could something like this happen? Does it mean something happened to someone important? Eina, do you want to confirm?"
Eina frowned, contemplated mentally, and shook her head.
Could it be Link?
But didn't he go out with Artemis?
The monsters outside aren't as powerful as those in the dungeon, so they shouldn't be in any danger, right?
At that moment, there was a commotion at the Adventurer's Guild gate.
Eina had just walked to the door when an adventurer with a bloody head grabbed her by the shoulders and shouted,
"Reinforcements! We need reinforcements! Find the adventurers quickly... No, call the first-level adventurers quickly! Reinforcements are needed immediately!"
"Please calm down!" Seeing the adventurer's frantic demeanor, Eina quickly replied, "What happened?"
"We can't stop it anymore... the monsters, the monsters in the dungeon are running rampant, out of control, they're all surging like crazy! If we don't take action, those monsters will flood out!"
As Link and others continued to delve deeper into the ruins, an abnormal situation arose on the Orario side as well. An ancient monster with special powers, Antares' wrath had an unknown resonance with the dungeon that also breeds ancient monsters.
The underground city erupted in chaos. The killer ants with their wildly glowing red eyes, the minotaur rampaging, the silverback roaring furiously…
The monsters in the dungeon lost control and charged toward the dungeon exit.
"Save us! Save my companions!" While Eina was speaking to the adventurer, another adventurer rushed over to plead for help.
"I understand." Eina nodded gravely and quickly ran to the guild to deliver the news.
Loki Familia, Freya Familia, Ganesha Familia… All the adventurers in the city were summoned.
"What's going on? Did the guild ask us to assemble a crusade team with the Freya Familia and the Ganesha Familia to suppress the riots in the underground city? What's causing these riots?"
Gareth, on the other side, threw Finn's spear and said, "Let's go investigate first."
Loki was not as reckless as before; his expression turned serious. "The dungeon is shaking. Finn, head straight to the dungeon."
"Okay."
The Joker flag was the first to arrive at the dungeon.
Finn stood at the intersection of the first floor and looked at his companions.
Riveria and Gareth were calm, Bete was kicking his shoes restlessly, Ais had already drawn the Sword of Despair, while Tione, Tiona, and other members looked at them seriously.
"The monsters crawling on the ground in the dungeon represent the most serious situation ever seen. Everyone, please raise your morale and prepare!"
"Just like what is written in Link's book, this is our town and the home of countless people. Behind us are ordinary people without power. We must never allow the fangs and claws of monsters to harm them!"
"Use all your strength; there is only one thing we have to do: defend this place!"
As he gave the order, the Loki Familia rushed into the dungeon.
The monsters that normally had the awareness to avoid high-level adventurers now charged toward them frantically.
They wanted to tear everything in front of them to pieces.
Ais stabbed a monster to death with her sword, then jumped a few times and killed a pug bear and a lizardman with a sharp sword imbued with wind magic.
Bete shredded a lizardman to pieces, and Tiona spun a huge double-edged sword, turning into a hurricane and slaying the monsters.
The elf members drew their bows and shot arrows, or held magic wands to eliminate the monsters that continued to attack.
Although the Loki Familia possessed considerable high-level combat power, when facing the endless horde of monsters, they could barely hold their ground and prevent their advance.
They couldn't suppress them at all.
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!!"
With a roar, the red flying dragon flapped its wings angrily and soared out of the hole in the dungeon.
"The dragons have emerged!" Tiona exclaimed in shock.
"If this continues, we won't be able to defend it alone!"
...
The goddess Freya sat on her throne, observing the noisy crowd.
"Ottar."
"I'm here," the tall pig Otta stepped out from the shadows behind the goddess.
"You go too."
"May I?"
"Yes, take Allen and the others there. I'll leave it to you."
"Your will shall be obeyed."
Freya swirled the red wine in her hand and pondered the reasons for the riot in the underground city, but in the end, she was at a loss.
"Could it be you, Link?" she whispered.
A knock was heard at the door, and a girl who received a response from the goddess stepped forward: "Lady Freya, Goddess Loki is here."
"Let her enter."
"Do you have any clues?" Loki asked directly as soon as she entered.
Freya shook her head slightly.
"Could it be that old man Uranus who did it?"
Freya shook her head again.
"What do you, this nymphomaniac goddess, do every day?"
Loki couldn't help but complain, "Where are your bodyguards?"
Freya raised her eyebrows and pointed at the dungeon at her feet.
Loki finally fell silent.
