Dungeon, 24th floor.

Just like the nickname "Big Tree Labyrinth", the scene presented on this floor is a combination of "tree" and "maze".

The roads here are intricate, like a jungle in a fairy tale, giving people the feeling that when you step on it, you will go straight to the dream and get lost in paradise.

The walls, ceilings, and floors are made of bark, like the interior of a giant tree.

Glowing mosses grow haphazardly in the labyrinth, and along the way, you can see leaves with wonderful shapes and colors, huge mushrooms, flowers dripping with silver droplets, and even beautiful gardens, chaotic grasslands, lush woods, and amazing beehives.

In fact, for some people, it's no different from a paradise.

One of the features of the "Big Tree Labyrinth" area on the 19th to 24th floors is that a variety of rare herbs and fruits grow here.

Some of them can be eaten directly and have excellent taste, some have a fast-acting recovery effect and detoxification effect, so they are valued by the pharmacists who prepare elixirs and other props, some are scarce on the surface as rare vegetation and even expensive collectibles, and some are even valuable as works of art, and even the dazzling moss that forms the labyrinth light source in this area can be brought back to the surface for a lot of money, which can be said to be a treasure everywhere.

Because of this feature of the "Big Tree Labyrinth", many merchants or pharmacists on the ground will post adventurer commissions in the guild in order to get valuable herbal raw materials, and entrust high-level adventurers who can go to the "Big Tree Labyrinth" area to collect these raw materials for them.

Thanks to this, many adventurers often use this place as a gold mining nest, because of lack of money to come here to find "treasures" of adventurers can be said to be every year, for this to pay for the precious life of the people are also common, telling people that even if the resources here are abundant, the dungeon is a dungeon, danger is absolutely indispensable.

Perhaps that's why the dungeon (mother) loves this area in particular, and the monsters that are born here are far more diverse and special than the previous levels.

Here, there are Berg bears and large beetles that are extremely high in natural potential and cannot be dealt with by ordinary Lv.2, sniper dragonflies and firebirds that use long-range attacks as their main means of combat, and dark poisonous mushrooms that can poison people.

In addition, there are deadly wasps that can burst out of trees and pierce people's flesh with huge tail pins, lizardmen who can use weapons and shields, giant goblins that are too big to believe are goblins, and swordhorn deer with razor-sharp horns, none of these monsters are easy to deal with, each with its own strength, its own danger.

In such a place, even if the half-hung level Lv.2 comes, I'm afraid it's just to deliver food, and even if Lv.3 is here, it's difficult to ensure safety in a solitary situation, and if you're careless, even Lv.4 may be killed here, and it's not that there are no adventurers without Lv.4 who died here because of abnormal situations such as the Monster Feast.

From this point of view, the mysterious magician handed over the anomalous event of the explosion of monsters that appeared on this level to the Homeis family, and he really didn't find a mistake.

The members of the Homis clan who came to the 24th layer this time, including Asfei, have a total of fifteen people, most of these fifteen people are Lv.3, and Asfi herself is Lv.4, even if such a small force sneaks into the lower area close to the depths, there is probably no problem, if you are willing to take risks, it is not impossible to go to the 37th floor.

Such a team to explore the 24th floor must be a bit ......... in normal times No, it should be said that there is an extreme surplus of combat power.

But today, such a team appeared on the 24th floor, and they could only barely protect themselves.

The reason is simple.

"""""Quack——! ””””

With the terrifying roar that resounded throughout the "Big Tree Labyrinth", a large group of monsters appeared in groups in the maze like a wild beast tide.

It was like a Kuroshio rushing.

It's a world like a beast coming out of a cage.

Deadly Wasp, Lizardmen, Swordhorn Deer, Dark Poison Mushroom......... All kinds of monsters completely disregard racial differences, as if transformed into a legion, a force, a whole, rushing towards the prey that appears on this level.

The spectacular parade of monsters almost flooded the entire passageway, making it impossible for adventurers who fell prey to hide even if they wanted to.

"Formation! Raise your shield! ”

Asphie's eyes widened when she saw such an astonishing army of monsters rushing towards her, and then as if she was electrocuted by a sense of crisis, she gave instructions with a roar.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ………

Suddenly, the avant-garde members of the Homis clan stepped forward one after another, suppressed their inner wavering, followed the instructions of the regiment commander, smashed their shields on the ground, and propped up a shield wall.

Behind them were tigermen wielding great swords, sorcerers of the Lilliputians chanting incantations with their staffs, beautiful elves raising their short bows and shooting arrows, and even dog girls jumping into trees with short swords, as if preparing to pass through the monsters through the woods on both sides and support their own side.

The members of the Hormis clan came into contact with a staggering number of monsters and began to get into a scuffle.

In the face of such a large number of monsters, even if they are between Lv.3 and Lv.4, they can only barely support a battle line, prevent the charge of a large number of monsters, block them from the outside of the team, and fight hard.

What is presented before their eyes is a quantity of violence.

Far more terrifying than the Monster Feast, the Monster Delivery, and the Anomalous Situation, the monster army roared, roared, and hysterically stormed the Homis Clan's defenses, intending to engulf them.

"Is this the monster surge......!?"

Aspy understood the gravity of the situation, and finally knew why the adventurers who had previously explored this level were so unlucky.

With such an abnormal number of monsters, it is so difficult for them to deal with it, not to mention those adventurers around Lv.2, and when they encounter this situation, they can basically declare themselves in the ground.

"[Swordsman]! [Sword Princess]! ”

Asfei could only turn her head and look at the two first-level adventurers who had accompanied her, trying to get them to support her.

Who would have thought that Asfei had just turned her head to look at her when two gusts of wind blew beside her.

The boys and girls who were standing beside her had already rushed out, their bodies like a gusting wind, bringing the sound of a howling wind while rolling the atmosphere in the labyrinth, making the air flow wrap around their bodies.

"Up!"

"Good!"

The boy and girl only had to go through such a brief conversation, and then leaped high in great tacit understanding, jumped over the heads of the members of the Homis clan who supported the shield wall, and swept into an astonishing number of monsters to the astonishment and astonishment of everyone.

"Poof!"

"Choke!"

The crisp sound of drawing the sword resounded in the sky.

"Poof!"

Ace took the lead in slashing out the Sword of Despair, sending the silver saber through the air, creating a trajectory with a swift blow that cut off the deadly wasps flying in midair.

"Quack!"

"Whoaaaa

"Whoa!"

The surrounding monsters immediately pounced on Ace with fierce eyes, especially the two firebirds, which were the most conspicuous, spitting flames and rushing towards Ace, as if they were going to burn her to ashes along with her companions (monsters).

In this regard, Ace just cold, cold, ruthless, and quickly swung out a slash, her body rushed forward like a wind, and the silver saber in her hand turned into the source of countless sword light slashes, intertwining a storm like grinding flesh, slashing all the monsters that rushed to her side, and even slashing the flame breath of the firebird, which was so powerful that it made people tremble.

Compared to Ace, who turned into a slashing storm, Riege's posture was much more elegant.

He was the first to strike, and the moment Ace rushed into the monster group, he drilled through the gap between the monsters and monsters, and when he reached the center of the monster group, he spun on the spot, causing the crystal clear sword to flash through the void, leaving arcs of light in the space.

His slashes were silent, like a gentle breeze.

His slash was sharp and awe-inspiring, and it didn't seem to have much lethality, but it made all the monsters that touched the tip of the sword scream in a miserable manner, and in the blink of an eye, a part of the limb was cut off, and blood splattered all over the ground.

He didn't weave a storm of blades like Ace, but while harvesting the lives of monsters, he dodged back and forth in the monster's attacks, dancing, and dodging all attacks without missing a beat.

During this time, he sang his magic calmly, calmly, and calmly while everyone gasped.

"[The light arrow of liberation, the bow stem of the holy wood, I am the famous hand of the bow. 】”

"Hold off, elf marksman. 】”

"[Penetrate it, it will be the arrow. 】”

As if dancing on the tip of a knife, Rig avoided the lizardman slashing at him from behind without blinking his eyes, and then kicked the sniper dragonfly flying from the side, and after dodging the surprise attack of the Berg bear and the big beetle, he turned around and stretched out his palm in the direction where the monsters were most.

"[Arc Ray]!"

A thick golden magic array formed in front of his palm, and a huge flash of light turned into a rushing stream, releasing it from Rig's hand.

Suddenly, the flash engulfed the monster, the passage, and the labyrinth, allowing a grand explosion to appear here.

Seeing this scene, Asfei also shuddered.

"That's ......"

Almighty's lips pursed.
