I like crossing the most

Chapter 253 Applause for the Birth of the Strong
"No wonder the thumb has been itching just now...although this is included in it."

On the opposite side of the passage where Orta and the others were, on the regular route leading to the 8th floor, a boy's voice came.

Walking out of the passage, it was a dwarf with short yellow hair holding a long gun.

Horta narrowed his eyes when he saw him.

"Yeah, Ota."

"...It's Finn."

Hearing the little people greet each other like old friends, Ota quietly put down his weapon.

Not only him, but behind him are the magisters of the elven royal family who have both strength and beauty, and the new generation of the first echelon of the [Loki Familia].

The difference in combat power between each other determines everything.

The strongest fighter in the Labyrinth City had no choice but to accept this fact, and was forced to release his fighting posture.

The brave Finn said slowly: "Sorry, I haven't fully grasped the situation, but... May I ask why you chose to fight us at this time and this place, Ota?"

"Eradication of the enemy does not need to take into account time and place."

"That's right. Then, can I take this as the overall opinion of the faction, which is your master's will? In other words, the goddess Freya wants to start a full-scale war with us?"

"........."

Otta was silent.

Although the little human in front of him was smiling, the tip of the spear he was holding shone sharply.

A faint threat spread out.

"It's my own way."

Ota told Finn so in a low voice.

[Freya Familia] is different from [Loki Familia], once a war starts, the individual [Freya Familia] may not necessarily be able to defeat the united [Loki Familia].

Moreover, once the two strongest families in the labyrinth city go to war, the scope of the impact can be imagined.

Even if he is the head of the [Freya Familia], he dare not launch a family war easily.

Horta dropped all weapons and stepped forward.

The family members following behind the brave Finn glared at him with sharp eyes, but he remained indifferent and walked towards the brave Finn and others.

Under the vigilance of everyone, Ota walked directly beside Finn and Riveria, and left a sentence: "If you unite, I have no chance of winning."

"Thank you for saying that, and we don't want to start a dispute with you."

Finn answered him softly, too.

In fact, both sides know that even if they make a move, Ota will definitely win. This is an undisputed fact.

But both sides also know that once the news here is spread, it will trigger a war between the two families, and Ota dare not act rashly.

The two sides stopped at this point.

Originally, the next part of the scene was for the deflated Ota to leave directly. Unexpectedly, when he passed by Xiaolin's location, he dropped a sentence:

"The lower level is not as simple as you think."

The warrior who is not good at words can only advise like this.

Kobayashi expressed his gratitude for the caring words that the other party may have racked their brains to come up with.

but!

Please also take a look at the occasion, Mr. Brave!
Look, those [Loki Familia] members who are already companions, but now look at him with strange eyes!

In front of so many people, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings if you say such words of concern to me!

Afterwards, there will definitely be a lot of questions about the things between them, and it may even cause a crisis of trust!
But Xiaolin couldn't refuse others' kindness at all, even though he was roaring in his heart, but in the end——

"...Thank you for your advice."

That's all he could answer.

Ota didn't say anything, he left the couriers behind and walked along the narrow and dark passage.

"For the time being, let me not mention my incompetence, just say something."

The samurai never looked back, just stared ahead, listening to the looming roars and shouts coming from the depths of the maze behind him.

He continued:
"Break out of the shell, push away the helping hands of others, and face the adventure. You must only look ahead, and respond to the favor of that adult."

Although the words are different, the meaning expressed is exactly the same as that of Kobayashi.

It's just that I always feel that the other party glanced at me inadvertently before leaving, as if this sentence was also said to him.

Kobayashi lowered his head in thought.

It has to be said that the strongest pressure in the labyrinth city is truly terrifying.

When his rock-like body disappeared into the darkness, the other adventurers of [Loki Familia] exhaled.

At this time, Tione came up and shouted: "Xiaolin Xiaolin! What did the fierce man mean to you just now? Could it be that you actually know each other?"

"this one……"

"It seems that he cares about you a lot. Could it be that the two of you have some ulterior secret?"

Diona also questioned with tricky words.

This immediately aroused the suspicion of other members of the family members, and they all turned their attention to Xiao Lin.

You see, a crisis of confidence has been triggered.

Kobayashi was an outsider who was inserted inexplicably, and Ota was also the head of the family of the hostile force.

Based on their understanding of the fierce warriors, it is already surprising enough for the indifferent warriors to express their concern.

Even Ace, who was eager to save Bell, looked at him curiously.

Under the questioning of everyone's eyes, Xiao Lin had no choice but to explain: "Sorry, there are some secrets in it, I will explain it later, but do we have more important things now?"

"That's right." The brave Finn also came forward to rescue Xiao Lin, saying: "No matter what, Xiao Lin is our companion, so we must give trust to our companion, right?"

"That's what I said..."

"But I always feel a little concerned."

"That's right."

They muttered under their breath.

Seeing this, the brave Finn said to his princess: "Ais, go, you still have things to do."

"……Um!"

Sword Princess Ais also remembered that she was going to rescue Bell, turned around and ran towards the depths of the passage.

"Wait! Ace, wait for me!"

"And I!"

"Hey! You bastards...!"

The Amazon sisters and the werewolf Burt also followed.

Kobayashi glanced at Fenn gratefully, and chased into the depths with Riveria and the others.

Bright lights emerged from the depths of the dark single road, and as the bright lights in the room got closer, Xiao Lin and others accelerated and rushed forward.

After rushing in, the vision suddenly opened up.

Everyone saw the one-horned Minotaur in the center of the vast space, and the boy lying on his back far away from the monster.

His chest floated slightly, and he was still breathing.

Sword Princess Ais relaxed her whole body, and then she just had to kill the tauren in front of her and save the teenager in crisis.

When she was about to take a step forward, she made a gesture to draw out the rapier in her hand.

A palm pressed against the back of her hand.

It's Kobayashi.

He stops Ace.

The naturally dull girl tilted her head, not understanding why she was stopped, but immediately Minotaur bent down to attack Bell, and she made a gesture to draw her sword again.

was held down again.

Draw the sword.

is held down.

Draw the sword again.

was held down again.

The girl puffed up her mouth subconsciously, and her golden pupils looked at Kobayashi dissatisfied.

She didn't believe that the other party deliberately refused to let her save people, but doing so really made Jian Ji feel depressed.

However, Xiao Lin didn't look at her, he looked ahead, at the thin white-haired boy who fell on the ground.

Suddenly, only a rustling sound was heard.

Staggering his gaze and looking back for a while, he saw the bruised Bell supporting his upper body with his hands.

The boy regained his strength and stood up.

Despite the injuries all over his body, the crimson pupils were frowning, staring at the Minotaur.

"No, never..."

Relying on his own will, Bell stepped forward, and then let out a full-bodied roar: "I can't, run away again!"

It's like trying to save face, like trying to carry out your ambition, like advocating the intention of never giving in.

[Retiring will only lead to aging and cowardice will surely invite death! 】

Facing the boy who raised the black dagger, Minotaur also opened his eyes wide, and then smiled ferociously.As if responding to his will, the Bull turned the blade of his greatsword toward him.

The boy trembled with his limbs that had lost his armor, and his blood-stained back, and cheered up.

He only looks at his enemies.

This will be a brutal fight to the death.

"Do not……!"

"believe him!"

Aisi's eyes widened, and she was about to call out to stop him, but when she was about to pass by, she was stopped again.

Kobayashi lowered his voice and looked rather cold, but he could feel the heat in his heart.

Ais looked at Kobayashi in disbelief.

Strictly speaking, both of them can be regarded as half of Bell's master, and they should also help the disciple if he is in danger.

"He can't keep running away."

This sentence woke her up.

Ace understood.

——Break out of the shell, push away the helping hands of others, and face the adventure, you must only look ahead!

These were the words Horta dropped when he left.

But now, Bell broke through his hard shell of lack of stamina, and at this moment, he became an adventurer.

Towards the road of the strong, a crucial step has been taken.

"Let's decide the outcome...!"

The teenagers who yearn for the hero story are also like the heroes in the story, who stand up to the strong enemy when they encounter it.

[Don't set the goal at the highest level at the beginning, staged goals are more suitable for long-term growth]

The mere Minotaros can't get over it, so what are you talking about? !

Then boy, stand up and face the adventure.

In the arena, the raging bull's great sword met the boy's galloping dagger, roaring and shouting merged into one, and the two sides came and went to attack each other.

Sparks scatter, blood drops fly, and sharp crisp sounds can be heard endlessly.

[You have to keep in mind that every inch is short and every inch is risky.But this does not mean that he has assumed the danger, but that the way of fighting is a desperate style of play!Your advantage lies in flexibility, as long as you can get close, you will have unlimited possibilities! 】

In Bell's mind, the tactics that Kobayashi had taught him echoed.

The escape speed that was enough to be called a genius in the past has become the biggest reliance for dodging attacks at this moment.

[Cause your eyes, look forward, find the weak point, and kill with one blow! 】

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The roar broke through the sky.

Humans and monsters clash head-on, and the battle of speed and strength continues.

Don't back down, don't back down, don't back down!
Don't hold back! ! !
The young man stared at Minotaur steadfastly, even if he was hit with a big sword head-on, he could bully him up and get closer. He could block or retreat attacks, but he blocked them one by one with the short dagger in his hand.

Fierce advances and retreats, unstoppable acceleration, a decisive battle that celebrates life in which humans and monsters fight to the death!

What a messy fight.

At some point, everyone gathered here, without saying a word, watching the battle from the nearest position.

Anyone watching the battle here has a better way of fighting.But for some reason, they were all attracted by the childish and tragic battle before them.

Put aside compromise far away, and integrate force, courage, wisdom and even luck into it!
The spark of life blooms again!
"Flame Lightning!"

Bell bent down and shrunk into the Minotaur's abdomen, forcibly breaking through the monster's defense.

then.

"Flame Lightning!"

The body rises, and the weapon bursts with strength.

With the blade of the goddess, calling for flames and lightning, the boy roared again.

"—Fire lightning!"

boom!
The pitch-black dagger pierced into the body, launching a zero-distance explosion directly from the monster's body.

"Flame Lightning!"

"Flame Lightning!"

"Flame Lightning!"

Never hold back, constantly squeeze the potential, squeeze out all the magic power!

"Flame Lightning!!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The Minotaur, who burst into flames from his body, was blown to pieces with a shrill death cry.

Fragments of burning bulls, horns scattered on the floor, magic stones that flew into the air and fell to the ground, and only the white-haired boy remained in place.

These all prove that it is Bell's victory.

"Unexpectedly, I won..."

Looking at the back of the victor, Bert murmured dully.

"It's mental exhaustion."

"Standing fainted..."

Everyone present trembled for the young man who remained motionless as he swung the dagger to the end.

Snapped!
The crisp applause echoed in this space.

Members of [Rocky Familia] were startled awake and looked at the slapping person.

It's Kobayashi.

Pop, pop, pop!

Very rhythmic applause.

Kobayashi had a look of relief on his face.

Despite the embarrassment, in the end, Bell still succeeded in defeating the LV2 monster. While breaking the fear in his heart, he also broke the barriers that blocked him, and moved towards a higher goal.

"Hey, Xiao Lin, what do you want to slap all of a sudden?"

The werewolf Bert glared at Xiao Lin, as if slapping Xiao Lin to wake him up from his immersion.

Xiao Lin was not angry, but said with a smile: "I am just applauding the future strong."

"Aha?"

The werewolf Burt stared wide-eyed, looked at Bell who was still standing on the field, curled his lips and said with a sneer, "The strong one? Where is it? This little guy can't even defeat the LV2 garbage Minotaur. He is said to be the strong one in the messy battle... Don't make me laugh!"

Although he tried his best to deny it, anyone could see that he had already admitted it, but he was just talking hard.

Kobayashi chuckled: "How about being a little more frank? Even if it was a messy battle, it is undeniable that it was indeed an excellent performance. Even if it is a performance, it deserves applause, right?"

"...Hmph, who cares about him."

The werewolf Burt turned his head and snorted disdainfully.

But starting from this, there were sparse applause from around, and the applause became more resounding as time went by.

"Sorry, Kobayashi, my family's personality is too awkward."

Finn the Brave apologized softly.

Xiaolin shook his head.

Even if it was an apology, it shouldn't be the brave Finn who apologized, and the person who apologized shouldn't be him.

Looking at Bell in front of him.

He deserves the applause.

Despite being urged, despite being compelled, despite being in a state of embarrassment, even though he is still not well-known, no matter what, he has broken through his own limit and set foot in the realm of the strong.

Congratulations, Bell.
