I don't know how long it took, but Ulysses slowly woke up from the darkness, and he felt that his whole body was in terrible pain, as if he had fallen face to face from the sky.

It was as if something was buzzing in my ears all the time, and I couldn't see what was in front of me when I opened my eyes, plus the pain that almost paralyzed my senses, and the coldness that remained in my body that couldn't be dispelled, and the current situation couldn't be worse.

Still, he's alive, and that's better than anything else.

"Whew...... ......Ulysses, struggling to sit up, reluctantly summoned several illuminated balls of light, illuminating the darkness around him.

He was now next to a small waterhole, which seemed to have been a long, long time since anyone had been here, and there was a thick layer of moss growing on the ground, and he had fallen from the sky on this slippery moss. If it weren't for that, it is estimated that he would have been hurt even more.

There was no sign of anyone else around, and it didn't seem that the Rasha, who had fallen from the upper level of the ruins with him, had fallen into this area. At the end of the battle, he couldn't see anything at all, so he didn't know what the outcome was.

However, by the time the passage collapsed, the Laxia seemed to have regained their mobility, so they would be fine. Compared to him, they are much stronger, and they will definitely not fall down so embarrassed.

Now he has to worry about himself.

"Ahem!ahem!" After coughing violently, a few streaks of blood spilled from the corners of Ulysses's mouth, and the feeling of weakness became more obvious.

In the battle just now, he was drained of all the power in his body by creating the cross abyss, and he fainted at the same time as he used it.

That move is too much of a burden for him now, and it is not a move that he can use at all, it is a powerful move that will knock Lian Laxia, An, and Princess into the abyss with one blow.

Now, the aftermath of using that move is slowly showing itself, and the connection with that magical cross sword is only a glimmer of nothing, and it is impossible to summon it again.

And without the power of the sword that represents the power of miracles, in this dark underground world, an ordinary monster could kill him.

Now, he only had some of his light magic left to use.

Light Magic...... By the way, there is also this, Ulysses took out the pure white ball in his arms, and in the darkness, the pure white ball that had accumulated a lot of light magic emitted a faint brilliance, illuminating his surroundings.

With the pure white ball as the light source, Urissi did not hesitate to disarm the illuminated ball of light he had summoned, and at this moment, the slightest magic power had to be saved.

He must not die until he finds Rasha and Yulia. No matter how dangerous it is, he has to try to survive.

"I can still move...... Good ......" Although he could no longer summon the Miracle Sword, the power that the sword brought to Ulysses did not disappear immediately, but still remained in some of his body.

The ability to recover faster than usual, this is probably the only special ability that Ulysses can rely on at the moment. After resting against the clammy mountain wall for ten minutes, his physical strength had recovered to a level where he could barely move.

Despite the fact that the place he was staying in was relatively safe, Ulysses did not intend to wait for others to look for him, and decided to leave the place after regaining some strength.

"Whew!" Just as Ulysses stood up, there was a small sound in the darkness, as if some creature was jumping lightly.

Ulysses' hairs stood on end, he was no match for any monster now, and after losing the power of his sword, he was just a low-level light magician who had just started, and he hadn't even learned healing.

Now in this state, against those underground monsters, even the weakest human-faced spider among them, his fate is unimaginable.

It's been said that when you think things are going to get worse, it's often ten times worse than you think, and that's what happened to Ulysses.

The sound of "Boom!" didn't stop for a moment, but slowly converged, as if the first monster had immediately notified the other monsters to share this rare feast after discovering Ulysses' existence.

"It doesn't look good. Ulysses smiled self-deprecatingly, and then tried to get himself as close to the heavy wall as possible, allowing himself to only face one direction where there were enemies.

This is the adventure common sense that Rasha taught him, when facing a siege, when he has the ability to move quickly, he uses his mobility to shake off his opponents, and then finds a way to destroy them one by one. When you don't have a road to run, try to find a suitable terrain to defend so that you don't get attacked on all sides.

Before you reach a fairly high level of combat power, no matter how skilled you are, you will be helpless in the face of attacks from all directions.

Ulysses searched for his weapon and found that the most powerful piece of equipment he had on his hand was a knife for cutting fruit, which was estimated to kill a rabbit. In addition, it is the pure white ball that is now used for lighting.

Ah, it's like the pathetic situation of an adventure game with a priest apprentice who can only illuminate and heal minor injuries to break through a dark lair. What is he going to do to destroy the monster - cut it with a fruit knife?

Maybe someone could cut down all the monsters with a fruit knife, but it wouldn't be him.

Don't give up hope at any time, Ulysses clenched the knife in his hand and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.

The monster hiding in the darkness didn't keep Ulysses waiting long, and in fact the place where Ulysses fell was not safe at all. Every water source in the ground is a very precious resource, and every water source is near a place of life and death, and in order to compete for this precious resource, a small underground war will break out every once in a while.

Silently crawling out of the darkness and gazing at Ulysses with a greedy gaze is the occupant of this water source—an underground race that looks a lot like a praying mantis. They have large arms and blades, half-vestigial eyes, and grayish-white underparts that look the same color as the rocks around them.

The sharp blades of the arms were a terrible icy blue, and at the same time exuded a faint sweet smell, and the slightest smell of it made Ulysses feel dizzy—the characteristic of extremely violent poison.

This is no ordinary monster...... Ulysses showed a helpless wry smile, with his ability, maybe he could kill one or two human-faced spiders if he tried his best, but the ice-bladed mantis in front of him was obviously a much stronger monster than those human-faced spiders.

However, there is no other path than fighting.

Ulysses took a deep breath, held the only weapon in his hand steadily, and slowly calmed down.

He didn't notice that he didn't know when, it should have been dead silent, and only the wind had risen in the dark underground ruins.

It was free, unfettered winds, atmospheric flows that the monsters living in the ruins had never felt.

The Ice Blade Mantis, who had already relied on instinct to see the weak nature of Ulysses now, was stunned for a moment, and their people, who had been far away from the earth and the sun since distant generations ago, had almost forgotten this feeling.

It was the feeling of the wind blowing, not the blast of wind in a desperate battle, but the wind from nature, free, light, cheerful, blowing all life.

However, the thirst for food soon made it oblivion, and food and water were always the most important issues for the underground races that struggled to survive.

"Shhh

"Fight!" Ulysses couldn't think about anything else, and with only a fruit knife left on his body, he still raised his weapon.

"Whew!" the breeze blew, taking away the heaviness from Ulysses, taking away his tiredness, making the weapon in his hand sharper, and making his steps lighter.

In Ulysses' eyes, the world seemed to slow down, and he clearly saw that the water vapor around him continued to converge towards the arm of the ice blade mantis, quickly forming a layer of transparent ice and snow crystals.

Immediately after, the blue color that was originally only attached to the pair of arm blades quickly spread into the transparent ice and snow crystals, making the pair of double blades look even more beautiful and dangerous.

Through the ice-blue blade, Ulysses felt a terrifying cold aura spreading to him. However, I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky, this cold air was nothing compared to the coldness in his body, and it didn't even have any effect on him - because the slightest bit of it entered his body was immediately assimilated by the coldness in his body.

If you don't have to, you will never waste your strength, and if you don't attack, you will definitely be a fierce killing move, which is the way of fighting in the underground species. Living in the dark world, they have evolved their own way of fighting.

"Boom!" The ice and snow crystals condensed on the blade of the Ice Blade Mantis's arm suddenly exploded, and countless brilliant fragments shot towards Ulysses. Each fragment had a deadly icy chill, while also emitting a brilliant blue poisonous sheen.

The huge figure of the Ice Blade Mantis rushed after these fragments, and its huge body was not only not bulky, but as fast and agile as a real flying insect, and you could barely detect its attack in the blue that flew in the sky.
