Chapter Eighty-Nine: Trimming Before Exploration
The fiftieth floor of the dungeon.
Lying on the side of the steep slope like a cliff, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but squint his eyes as he felt the slight breeze blowing in.
This was the second day of yesterday's Floor Master Raid.
According to the existing intelligence analysis, the Loki clan in the original book did not encounter the trace of Baror, and that guy appeared by the butterfly effect caused by himself.
The reason why Emiya Shirou had such a judgment was because the Loki clan who had defeated Barol was forced to repair for a day on the fiftieth floor.
That is, tomorrow they will go to a deeper level.
The reason for this is that in addition to restoring the physical strength and energy of the cadres, it is more important to maintain their weapons.
In that case, each of them had a lot of wear and tear on their weapons and armor, and needed further maintenance.
Of course, there are many other reasons that force the Loki family to stay here.
It was also because of this that Emiya Shirou had time to enjoy the scenery on the fiftieth floor.
Unlike the previous two times when he was lazy when collecting ingredients, this time Emiya Shirou was a fair rest.
After all, in yesterday's crusade, the cadres were exhausted.
At the same time, they will have to explore a deeper level tomorrow, which makes Emiya Shirou have nothing to do at this time.
"What a thrilling battle, yesterday!"
Thinking back to yesterday's battle, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but be thrilled.
Baror, who was rated LV.7 by the guild, was extremely powerful, and this kind of strength was something that Emiya Shirou had never seen before.
Even if he was as strong as Grace, he couldn't hold up his attacks.
As a result, everyone was in danger several times.
And in yesterday's battle, the most outstanding was Ace, LV.6's basic ability combined with her extremely flexible magic wind spirit speed walk and the skill of fighting beyond the level of the revenge princess, even Barol could not block her attack.
In fact, it was Ace who was able to crusade against Barol in the end.
Of course, Emiya Shirou's performance is as eye-catching as ever.
The rising mushroom cloud and the storm that blew all the teammates away were impressive.
Emiya Shirou also did as he wished, gaining enough high-level experience points for him to advance.
Of course, he also paid a great price for it.
In order to deal as much damage as possible, Emiya Shirou not only attacked from a distance, but after the collapse of Super Fantasy, he projected the emerald green horizon that opened up a thousand mountains with the intention of delivering a fatal blow to the opponent.
Although his attack caused great damage to Balor, he was also swept away by the opponent and almost lost his life.
"The difference in level is too big, and if you fight with these floor masters, you must not fight in close combat."
Recalling the scene at that time, Emiya Shirou was a little afraid.
Those floor masters are not only big in size, but also in strength, speed, durability, and dexterity.
Coupled with the body size of tens of meters, the quality is properly suppressed.
If it weren't for the fact that they had no magic and couldn't use magic, it would have been a dream for adventurers to defeat them.
But individuals capable of using magic are not non-existent.
That incredibly dangerous creature not only exists, but is the ultimate goal of their journey.
That's the doppelganger of the fallen fairy.
Although the doppelganger of the Fallen Immortal is divided into the same level by the Guild and Barol in terms of ability value, in terms of combat effectiveness, the two are by no means the same level of existence.
If Barol is compared to Grace, the great warrior of the dwarven race, then the clone of the fallen fairies is the combination of the three giants of the Loki clan.
It's also LV.6, but it takes into account the advantages of three people.
Can you imagine an enemy who is physically perfect, has superhuman combat intelligence, and is ready to use wide-area annihilation magic?
The doppelganger of the fallen fairy is such an enemy.
Thinking about the enemy he was about to face, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but lament: "Although I don't trust the information given to me by the animation team anymore, I still hope that their information can be accurate, and there will be no other mistakes." ”
But when he thought of what he had happened on the twenty-fourth floor a few days ago, Emiya Shirou didn't give up hope for it.
"Forget it, let's go back!"
Standing up from the turquoise lawn, Emiya Shirou looked at the scenery in the distance, then turned and walked back.
...
As soon as he returned to the station, Emiya Shirou heard the endless sound of striking iron coming from not far away.
This is the high-ranking blacksmith of the Hephaestus clan who is maintaining and repairing the weapon.
It can be regarded as a blessing to them, because of the existence of the blacksmith, this expedition does not need to carry too many spare weapons, so the elixir reserve this time is very sufficient.
As we all know, in boss raids, the consumption of medicines is extremely serious.
Many times, the expedition team will encounter an event of a shortage of medicines on their return trip, all because the medicines have been depleted during the expedition.
According to the amount of medicine carried by the Loki clan in the past, after the battle of Balor, they could already prepare to return.
But judging from the amount of medicine carried on this expedition, it was enough for them to continue the expedition to the fifty-ninth floor.
Quietly avoiding the direction from which the sound of striking iron came, Emiya Shirou didn't want to be pulled by Tsubaki as a coolie now.
Although he enjoyed the days of striking iron, now he wants to rest even more.
Now he is no longer the good old man who doesn't care about anything and only cares about helping others.
Walking to the side, Emiya Shirou soon spotted Ace's trace.
At this time, she was holding a wooden knife and making chopping movements.
Although her movements were as sharp as ever, Emiya Shirou saw anxiety in them.
"Why don't you take a break, I remember that you were not injured less than me yesterday!"
Looking at Ace's persistent back, Emiya Shirou said with a smile.
Hearing Emiya Shirou's inquiry, Ace, who was swinging the knife, suddenly paused and replied a little embarrassedly: "I'm fine, I'm a little idle." ”
In yesterday's battle, it was Tiona and the others who were the most seriously injured.
As the main attackers of the team, they have a two-level gap with Balor, and in the non-stop offensive, they have been knocked out several times, and they are in danger.
But all of them recovered under the effect of elixir and healing magic.
Then join the fight again.
Therefore, after yesterday's floor master crusade, almost all of the cadres were injured, but under the consumption of a large amount of elixir, they all survived.
At the time, Ace was no less injured than Emiya Shirou.
"Yes, after all, there is healing magic, plus we are strong, and it is normal for us to recover quickly, but Refia and they are miserable."
That's right, Refia was really miserable at this time.
No, it should be said that the elven wizards represented by Refia are miserable.
The excessive use of magic caused them to enter a state of mental exhaustion one by one.
Even Riveria, although not as bad as theirs, is tired at this time.
And this is also the reason why the Loki clan must repair for a day, as the mage who is a big killer is not in a state, they themselves will be in danger.
Looking at Ace, who was silent, Emiya Shirou suddenly said, "Don't worry, Ace. The fifty-ninth floor is there, and we're not far from it. ”
"I'm sure we'll get there this time, trust me!"
Hearing Emiya Shirou's reassurance, Ace, who was originally a little anxious, suddenly calmed down.
After a moment, she smiled beautifully.
"Well, I believe you, brother!"
