Chapter 34: The Big Tree Labyrinth
In the dungeon, the area of the dungeon grows larger as the floors go deeper.
This is the case because the structure of the dungeon as a whole is conical.
The top few floors of the dungeon are not even as large as the central square of the Tower of Babel in terms of area, but by the time they reach the thirties and forties, the dungeon is already about the same size as Olarie.
The area further down is even larger than Olarie.
The reason why the Loki clan is divided into two groups is because it is too crowded in the upper echelons. Not to mention the size of the area, some passages can only accommodate one person.
Coupled with the materials to be carried on the expedition, it will be very crowded if you do not divide into groups.
Therefore, when a large clan like the Loki clan goes on an expedition to the dungeon, they will advance in groups and then integrate it on the eighteenth floor, a safe level.
...
The bustling team walked through the narrow passageway, and here was the second team to which Emiya Shirou now belonged.
Unlike the first team, which is the main force of the Loki clan, in the second team are all second-level adventurers.
LV.4's Raul, Angel, Cruz, Elvie, and Alysia are all members of the second team.
and these people, Emiya Shirou are all acquaintances.
After all, he is the mainstay of the Loki family, and he usually communicates with them frequently.
However, the most important thing in the second team is not them, but a human girl named Linie.
Her level is only LV.2, but she is one of the very few Loki clans to possess healing magic.
Nurse!
She doesn't matter who matters.
After all, the amount of medicine in the expedition is limited, and the amount of milk in the nurse is unlimited.
Can this be compared?
"Mr. Emiya, please advise."
Lyne greeted her a little shyly, for the fact that she had become the object of the crush of many girls in the clan at this time, standing by the side of Emiya Shirou, Lyne always felt so stressed.
Looking at Rinne, who was a little nervous, Emiya Shirou thought that she was a little worried about the safety of the expedition.
So he patted her on the shoulder and gently comforted: "Don't be nervous Ligne, I will keep you safe." ”
Looking at Emiya Shirou, who comforted her, Lyne only felt a little melancholy.
Although her level is only LV.2, she doesn't know how many times she has gone on an expedition with the Loki clan because of healing magic.
Mr. Emiya, you're a newcomer!
As a senior, I was actually comforted by a newcomer?
Is this a school-level collapse?
Looking at the gentle-looking Emiya Shirou, Lyne didn't know what to say.
In the end, she could only nod helplessly and whispered: "Hmm! ”
Seeing this scene, Anqi, Raul and others, who had been eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but laugh.
...
The thirteenth floor of the dungeon.
Emiya Shirou, who once again followed the large army to the middle level, once again experienced the power of the group.
The middle floor, which was full of dangers in the past, is now as relaxed as if it was going to the green.
All teams with LV.2 and above are pushing all the monsters along the way, and the group is crushing and crushing all the enemies.
Walking in the middle of the line, Emiya Shirou, as a defender, was just an ordinary person who shot a few arrows and had nothing to do.
After all, the team's forwards and central defenders are too strong.
Almost all of them are LV.4 and LV.3, and they don't know how easy it is to face LV.2 enemies.
"I see, is this the way of team warfare? It feels completely different from the Platoon mode. ”
There are people to complete any link, and all of them are interlocked, which makes it so easy for the team to face these monsters.
Soon, the second group, led by Grace, came to the eighteenth floor to join the first group.
Looking at the light emitted by the sky crystal, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The dungeon is really magical! ”
It's just a dungeon, but on the eighteenth floor, it's the crystal stone on the ceiling that replaces the sun.
And the crystals turn black at night, making it a real world.
"Haha, where is this, little guy, there are still many magical things in the dungeon!"
Hearing Emiya Shirou's exclamation, Grace patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
In this regard, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but blush.
In this expedition, there is only one newcomer like himself, which means that all the people here are more knowledgeable than themselves.
How do you make yourself like a bun in the countryside!
Emiya Shirou, who no longer spoke, took the time to take a look at the eighteenth floor, and the last time he came by himself, he didn't have time to take a closer look.
Now that he has the chance, he must take a good look.
Lush woods and various crystal stones are everywhere, and this is Emiya Shirou's first impression of the eighteenth floor.
It's a different world full of fantasy.
After a short period of refinement and preparation, the Loki clan dressed in fire-woven cloth was ready to go.
According to the Loki family's plan, the goal of the first day was to reach the twenty-fourth floor, rest at the entrance to the twenty-fifth floor, and then continue on the second day.
After that, the progress of the five or six floors per day continued until the fiftieth floor was safe.
"Loki Clan, go!"
After the rendezvous and reorganization, Emiya Shirou, who is the guard, comes to the middle of the team and performs a magic attack as a guard with the magicians.
After all, Emiya Shirou's fantasy collapse is also very powerful as a magic attack.
Although Fantasy Honkai cannot deal lethal damage against LV.5 level durability, he can be said to be handy when facing monsters below LV.5.
In addition to defenders, he can also double as a central defender to protect the magicians around him.
After all, his fighting skills are also very fierce.
As the party progressed, the Loki clan soon reached the nineteenth floor, where everything was made of bark, whether it was the ceiling, the surrounding walls, or the floor.
According to the union, the 19th to 24th floors are known as the Big Tree Labyrinth.
The passage to the depths is filled with a variety of plants, and the lush moss glows pale blue or green, and everything here is particularly mysterious.
It was only then that Emiya Shirou could deeply feel the magnificence and magic of this dungeon.
A variety of grasses and plants grow here, and they make the tree maze a natural treasure trove.
Many of the materials for elixirs on the market come from here.
At the same time, the monsters here are also very tricky.
A firebird spraying flames, trap monsters with mimicry abilities, bloody hives and deadly wasps.
There are also troublesome monsters such as dark poisonous mushrooms, green tree dragons, etc.
And what needs special attention is the poisonous demon maggot, this kind of monster does not pose any threat in the case of a single body, but once it forms a scale in groups, it is very tricky.
Therefore, almost all adventurers who come here should be cautious and cautious in case of attacks by various monsters.
But they were just ordinary adventurers, and they were the Loki clan on the expedition.
"Bert, Diona, leave these monsters to you strikers!"
"Hmph, I can't wait!"
Bert, who has a bad mouth every day, rushed up after saying that, and Diona, who usually didn't deal with him, followed suit.
And so the battle began.
