Chapter 170 Unleash your divine power!
boom!!
Roy unleashed "Heavenly Incineration" three times in a row, and the crimson flames erupting from the elven holy sword bombarded the pile of rubble, with continuous explosions ringing out.
Countless fragments of rock were blasted into the air.
Each bombardment blasts open a passage more than a meter wide, but all that's left is a large expanse of rocks.
At this moment, Roy was 100% certain that this was the passage back to the 29th floor, but the collapse had blocked the entire passage.
Roy wanted to curse in his heart. Damn dungeon, do they really want to kill him and Astraea?
Landslides are a common occurrence in the underground city, but the fact that it happened at this particular time made Roy clearly feel the malice of the underground city.
Roy was breathing heavily, sweat trickling down his forehead and temples, leaving sticky, cold trails in the suffocatingly hot rainforest air.
After launching "Praise to Heaven" three times.
His every breath was incredibly heavy, as if he were inhaling not air, but scalding, damp cotton wool, pressing heavily against his chest.
What's even more despairing is that their situation is like being bound by countless chains, preventing them from escaping the dungeon.
The passage back to the upper level was blocked, and behind them, monsters kept emerging from the dense forest canyon, gradually surrounding them. Roy and Astraea fought hard to kill these monsters, but when their physical and mental strength were exhausted, it would be the moment of their demise.
The goddess Astrea wasn't in good condition either. With her divine power sealed, she was just an ordinary person, and her physique was far less powerful than that of an adventurer.
After slaying hundreds of monsters, her stamina was exhausted. She was covered in sweat, which slid down her fair skin and dripped onto the ground. A trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes.
Roy was pale. What else could he do?
At this moment, the goddess Astraea pursed her lips and said, "Roy, I have an idea."
Roy glanced at the goddess Astraea from afar, realizing he had run out of tricks. Did she still have any more?
Astraea whispered, "Do you remember the pillar of light from heaven when Rudra returned it to the celestial realm?"
Roy frowned. "You mean...?"
Astraea said, "That pillar of light will destroy everything that blocks the gods' return to the heavens. As long as I unleash my divine power, everything above this floor will be destroyed, opening a path back to the ground—"
Silence fell between the two of them.
They stared at each other, and even the monsters that surrounded them could not disturb them.
This method is indeed feasible. Roy remembers that in the original timeline, when the god of death, Thanatos, returned to the heavens, the pillar of light from the sky shattered the man-made labyrinth built from the world's hardest material—aluminum.
The power of the gods is truly terrifying.
If they were to unleash their divine power and destroy Orario, it would only take a moment.
But it also meant that the goddess Astraea was sent back to the heavens and could never descend to the mortal realm again.
Roy acted swiftly, grabbing Astraea's soft, boneless hand tightly, his face grim. "I won't allow you to do this!"
Of all the clans, Roy is probably the first to be so defiant towards the chief god.
Loki's Familia usually seems to be just fooling around, but when it comes to crucial moments, they still have to listen to Loki.
Astraea's little hand was gripped so tightly it hurt, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled gently as always, her deep blue eyes, like the ocean, fixed on Roy. She wouldn't let this child die.
Even if he is sent back to the heavens, he will never be able to return to the mortal realm!
Just then.
A sound pierced the forest's ceaseless whispers—the chirping of leaves and the twittering of insects.
The sound was deep and persistent, like rough sandpaper slowly and relentlessly rubbing against hard wood.
Roy's heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly turned his head, staring intently at a certain spot.
Deep within the shadows of that dark green fern, a blood-red shadow, beyond imagination, lurked.
It was so large that simply sitting there, it almost filled all the space beneath the ferns. Its body was as thick as the torso of an adult man.
What chilled the soul most were those eyes—cold, golden vertical pupils, like two pieces of amber devoid of warmth, fixedly locked onto them.
Blood Dragon!
The rare species on the lower level are the monsters with the strongest overall stats, second only to the floor master!
Moved!
The enormous blood shadow suddenly contracted, its coiled body releasing like a spring compressed to its limit.
There was no roaring, no warning.
Only a blurry, blood-red shadow, tearing through the air, accompanied by a foul, pungent gust of wind, hurtled straight towards them at a speed beyond the limits of human reaction!
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
Roy quickly released Astraea's small hand, pushed her away, and golden lightning surged from his palm, forming a thick shield in front of him.
"Bang!"
The heavy dragon body, like a collapsed log, slammed heavily against the shield with a dull thud.
As expected, Roy was thrown into the air by the overwhelming force, seeing stars and feeling the world spin.
It crashed heavily to the ground again.
The blood dragon attacked again.
Roy's survival instinct erupted like a volcano; the shield he grabbed turned into a dagger, which he rolled on the ground with, the blade aimed at the blood dragon's body.
"l la—"
The blade rubbed violently against the tough dragon scales, producing a tearing sound that sent chills down one's spine.
But in the end, it still managed to cut through the tough dragon scales and muscles, penetrating deep into the blade until it reached the hilt!
In terms of ability, Roy is still superior.
Scalding hot dragon blood, with a strong, fishy smell, gushed out like a flood from the blade and the blood grooves on both sides of the dagger!
The scalding liquid splashed all over Roy's face, carrying a rusty, salty smell.
"—!"
A short, sharp screech, so intense it pierced the eardrums, erupted like high-pressure steam bursting through a valve, exploding violently above Roy's head! The sound was filled with pure, offensive rage!
Blood Dragon's golden eyes stared coldly at Roy and Astrea, revealing a chilling killing intent.
However, their eyes were not on it.
Astraea's luscious red lips parted slightly as she softly said, "Roy, please tell Ryu I'm sorry I couldn't be with her until the end. And Daphne and Cassandra too, I wasn't a good enough god, I didn't teach them much—"
Her voice was soft and calm, without any fear, only an unwavering determination.
Hearing Astraea's farewell-like words filled Roy with immense anger.
Is this damned clan trying to drive him crazy? Ryu did the same thing when he encountered Amphispina last time, choosing to sacrifice himself.
I've never seen anything like this in Orario!
and many more!
Is the floor owner, Amphispina, here?
Roy took a deep breath and shouted, "Lady Astraea, unleash your divine power!"
