In the underground city, Loki's familiars are still fighting.
"Are these monsters here looking for death?" Bete kicked a Minotaur to pieces and knelt on the ground, gasping for air.
"It's endless."
Tiona cleaved through several monsters in front of her in one go and couldn't help but wave her arms.
Their physical strength would eventually be exhausted, and they were now extremely tired.
"Another red dragon!"
The adventurers from other clans were a little shocked.
At that moment, a fierce man descended from the sky with a large sword in both hands and cut the red dragon in half in one breath, causing the ground to shatter into pieces.
The red dragon turned to ashes, and Ottar, who was over two meters tall, appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, the catman wielding a spear, two magic swordsmen in black and white magic robes, and four dwarves carrying swords, hammers, guns, and axes also jumped out.
"The strongest reinforcements have arrived."
Finn turned around and said with a smile, his face visibly relaxed.
Ottar looked at Finn, who was fighting on the front lines: "Let's fight together; we can't dishonor the reputation of the goddess."
"Of course!"
Seeing the reinforcements from the Freya Familia, the adventurers from another Familia also became more confident.
As Ottar and the others engaged the monsters, the Loki Familia members quickly seized the opportunity to grab healing or stamina potions.
"We can't stay behind."
Finn's eyes burned with fighting spirit as he saw Ottar blocking all the monsters by himself.
"Um!"
The other adventurers also grasped their weapons.
"We've been passively defending here, and now it's finally our turn!"
Finn smiled, raised his spear high, and shouted an order to his companions: "Everyone, use all your strength and fight back!!!"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!!!"
…
On Link's side,
Infinite Proliferation and Infinite Evolution.
Although they were not yet very powerful monsters, these scorpions still posed some trouble for Link's team.
Link kept waving his weapons and was responsible for protecting three directions by himself while slowly leading the team forward.
Artemis, who initially planned to risk everything to suppress the monster, caught a glimpse of Link's serious face during a break in the battle and felt her heartbeat slow by half a beat.
If it weren't for Link, they might have suffered casualties in the recent wave of monsters.
There were several monsters with strength reaching LV.3.
But none of these monsters were Link's enemies.
Under Link's leadership, everyone continued to advance, fighting fiercely along the way, and finally broke through the blockade to reach a towering stone staircase.
The stone stairs spiraled upward, and the black scorpion monster rushed down toward everyone like a waterfall.
Even Link couldn't handle it at that moment.
He used all his strength, continually waving the spear behind him without stopping and kept shooting forward, barely able to stem the tide of monsters.
Everyone could only follow Link closely, fighting off the disappearing monsters on both sides as they advanced along the stone stairs.
Everyone's physical strength rapidly declined, but they finally passed the stone stairs and entered a circular room composed of a huge gap.
The massive body of the ancient monster Antares came into view.
Disgusting dark green pipes grew and branched out like limbs.
The pipes twisted continuously and were covered with dark, leech-like lines, parasitizing the entire ruins.
On the round platform in the center of the hall lay a huge jet-black scorpion, with red, light-like lines on its body flickering from time to time.
Its size was enormous, measuring more than ten meters by visual inspection, making it a full circle larger than the recumbent Goliath.
Its thick tail rose into the air, and the poisonous needle on its tail pointed straight to the sky.
Next to its body are many legs with pincers, which look particularly twisted.
The huge pliers directly in front of the body are larger than a human being, and the blades of the pliers shine with a cold light, which is intimidating.
Even when they are far away, people can feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Crack, squeak, squeak, squeak!!!!"
Antares let out a strange, harsh neigh, and the six girls of the Artemis Familia were stunned by the sound, even though they covered their ears.
Link saw the monster turn around and stare directly with its huge eye.
Of course, it wasn't looking at him, but at Artemis behind him. Its target turned out to be a goddess!
"You're so… so brave! You actually ignored me!" Link sneered and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.
"Technique – Dragon Destroyer!" Link stomped hard on the ground, and the earth beneath his feet instantly exploded.
He leaped straight into the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust!
Without hesitation, he went on the attack.
Red spikes fell from the sky, and the surging energy shattered the numerous surrounding pipes that were continuously transporting nutrients.
However, when this attack landed on the Black Scorpion, it made a sound of gold against stone.
"The shell is too hard." Link frowned.
One of the Disaster Scorpion's stings flashed past; Link took a step into the air and used the power of the wind to change direction just in time to avoid it.
At the same time, Artemis, Rhetusa, and the others fired at Antares, but all the arrows were blocked by its hard shell without exception.
Link looked at the gaps between the projectiles, crouched down, and rushed towards Antares.
The Calamity Scorpion waved its other claws to attack Link, but he predicted them in advance and nimbly dodged.
Link finally reached the space free of projectiles and stabbed with a fierce thrust.
"Tear!!! ! ! "
Antares screamed in pain and struggled wildly, but after Link stabbed the spear, he felt it was blocked by layers of muscles and tendons, preventing him from going deeper.
Dodging the incoming pliers, Link gripped his weapon tightly with both arms and roared loudly.
Artemis also managed to get close, cutting into the gap with her hunting knife, but it only made a small wound.
There were two other members of the Artemis Familia who were dragged away by the claws.
They hit the hall wall heavily and temporarily lost their fighting power.
With the restraint of Artemis and others, Link's vigorous stab finally yielded results.
With the spear stuck inside, one of the Black Scorpion's claws was successfully torn off!
Antares groaned and used his remaining legs to exert force, his entire body ejected like a cannonball in front of him, sending Link and Artemis tumbling to the ground.
Antares, who had collided, immediately flexibly changed direction, lowered her head, and assumed a collision stance once more.
"Be careful!" Link warned.
The Black Scorpion rushed toward him again, while Link and Artemis dodged to the side, barely managing to avoid it.
There was no joy on Link's face; instead, it became somewhat gloomy.
I saw that another foot had grown from the wound on the foot that he had just successfully torn off.
Although it was much smaller than the other feet, as long as there was enough time, it could grow well.
"Self-regeneration..." Link was genuinely in trouble.
At this moment, Antares did not immediately launch an attack.
Instead, he used the giant pincers in front of his to grab the broken chelicerae nearby and chewed them...
At the same time, more than a dozen small scorpions appeared under her abdomen in an instant, attacking Link and the others as soon as they emerged.
Link was forced to suspend his attack on Antares to deal with these small scorpions.
When the small scorpions attacked, Link frowned again.
He instinctively sensed that these small scorpions were unusual! S
ure enough, when he stabbed one with his spear, it felt as if his spear had pierced a rock.
The small scorpion also raised its poisonous needle toward his arm and stung him.
Link had no choice but to brandish his spear and throw the small scorpion away.
He was forced to retreat and distance himself from the other little scorpions.
"I can't cut anymore!"
"How strong!" several other girls sighed.
These monsters have evolved again!
