Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"We're here. This is the room of the floor master Goliath."

The lively Tiona smiled warmly at Roland, not like a first-level adventurer at all, but like a follower.

This is the most distinctive feature of the Amazon race. Once they have a crush on someone, they will try their best to please the other person until they get it. If the difference in strength is particularly large, many people will use tough methods. Many farcical crimes in Orario are caused by this.

It's a pity that although Roland is not prudish, he will not show an overly friendly attitude at this time. He just looks at the grotto in front of him with doubtful eyes.

Different from the other floors, the eighteenth floor is a huge rock chamber. Overall, it looks like a flat cuboid. Whether it's the walls, the ceiling, or the ground are all made of rough stones.

But only on one side, the structure of that wall is completely different, as flat as the surface of ice cubes, and as smooth as polished marble, it stands quietly in front of the passage on the left, waiting for challenges The arrival of the killer.

Such a special room will only appear on a specific floor, just like a special boss battle in the dungeon. The monsters generated from it are very powerful, but relatively, the respawn time is much longer.

In terms of level, the main potential ability of the floor is probably the level of monsters on this floor plus two levels, and the monster named Goliath is probably around level 4.

However, it can be seen from its name like "The Lone King of the Labyrinth" that treating it purely in terms of hierarchy will only lead to a painful lesson.

Templates such as floor masters also doom them to be different from ordinary monsters. Although they are only lv4 in name, Goliath's level has reached the level of lv5 in terms of attributes, and lv4 is just its nominal challenge level, which is a group of monsters Elite lv4 teams form a challenge to share in this great cause.

To deal with him alone, only advanced adventurers who have already surpassed this level can do this.

As Roland gradually walked into the grotto, the Loki family members also stopped and stared at the hero who walked into it alone.

And just when Roland officially walked to the center, the smooth huge wall seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to form a terrifying crack from top to bottom, as if it had been split by some giant with an axe.

As the gravel fell, huge sound waves continued to rise, and finally exploded.

"Bang——!"

With a huge shattering sound, the wall exploded, revealing the huge thing that could not hide its shadow even in the flying dust in the sky.

It looks like a human being, its skin is like a gray-brown rock, its muscles are knotted, its body is made of steel, its long black hair hangs on its forward-bent back, its joints are covered with purple crystals, it looks very The terrifying giant slowly walked out, and even the light in the grotto was blocked by the terrifying body.

Then, he let out a mournful roar like a cry, and the sound wave turned into a shock wave-like roar, constantly venting out.

After the roar was over, Goliath quickly locked on to Roland standing in front of him, looked at him with cruel eyes, without any hesitation, like a moving mountain, every step brought an incomparable roar, and rushed towards the Roland on the ground.

But at this moment, the Loki Familia at the rear of the battlefield showed expressions of worry and surprise, without exception.

It's not that they don't believe in Roland's strength, but the situation in front of them is too abnormal.

"When did that purple crystal on Goliath's body appear?"

Tiona was the first to ask the question and looked at Riveria next to her.

"It has never happened, at least not in the number of times I have crusaded."

Although she looks beautiful, as one of the elders of the Loki family, Rivilia, who usually mentions age as a taboo, said so, so there is only one answer.

"Have the changes in the depths of the dungeon begun to affect the floor master?"

Finn's expression became more and more solemn; "Judging from the current power, this Goliath is already at level 5, if this kind of mutation continues, and even spreads to ordinary monsters, it will be troublesome .”

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go help him."

Tiona said anxiously, and Ais had already drawn her sword.

Level 4 floor owners need at least level 5 to be able to deal with it stably. Level 5 needs Tiona and others to take care of them in order to be safe. Letting Roland face this mutated monster alone is obviously not as good as agreed It’s no longer the same.

"Wait... Riveria, prepare your magic first. If something unexpected happens, be ready to attack Goliath."

But Finn stopped the members behind him and looked at Riveria on the side.

If Riveria is given enough time to chant, even if Goliath changes, she will not be able to escape the attack from a level 6 mage.

Riveria nodded and began to prepare to chant.

"Captain, why..."

Tiona asked in confusion, her toes rubbing restlessly on the ground, but she still did not disobey Finn's order.

Gareth on the side said with a tone of experience.

"Since you want to pursue that hero, just listen to Finn. Otherwise, your intervention will only make Roland complain about you."

"Eh?"

The dwarf looked at the young man standing still in the center of the battlefield, and explained in an expectant and experienced tone.

"Although we have not seen it with our own eyes, if Roland really defeated Ais with hard power, I am afraid that the current battle is more in line with his wishes. Therefore, before the situation changes, we will witness it together. Enough."

Hearing this, Finn also smiled with great interest, staring at the crystallization on Goliath, showing a thoughtful expression.

Roland frowned and looked at the purple crystals on Goliath's body. He did not have the experience of Loki's family to deal with Goliath so many times, but it did not prevent him from realizing that the floor master in front of him was different from before.

On those purple crystals, he felt faint soul power, and it was these things that acted as energy sources that stimulated Goliath to become stronger.

But the power of the Sheep Talisman also made it clear to him that there was no thing called a soul in the monster in front of him.

Then why do monsters generated from dungeons undergo such changes? Are the monsters in deeper layers also in the same situation? What is the true face of this so-called bonded spirit that can fill Roland's spiritual weakness?

Roland had a lot of questions in his mind.

However, these are all things that need to be considered later. Goliath, who has already rushed in front of him, obviously does not intend to give him so much time.

Therefore, there was only one response he had to make.

"Let's cut it into eight pieces first."

Roland slowly raised his head and raised his hands, his eyes becoming calm and indifferent.

The elf engraving on the back of his hand also suddenly lit up, allowing the light particles to converge into a dazzling human form.

The petite, mysterious and noble girl, who looked like a gem, appeared from the light and stretched out her hand towards Roland.

"This is……"

"——Fairy."

Even though she had seen the holy sword transformed by Esther, seeing the battle between the hero and the fairy with her own eyes still made Riveria feel dazed.

Finn, Gareth, Tiona and others were even more speechless. Even Bert, who had always been very impatient, was stunned.

"Roar--!"

Goliath roared, waved his huge palm fiercely, and slapped Roland angrily.

As the most outstanding power attribute of Goliath, this attack that matches the size of the body makes loud noises burst out one after another. The terrifying hurricane swoops down along with the shadows that are constantly cast, wrapped in violent sounds, and rolls up in a circle There were white and dazzling ripples, and in an instant, all directions of Roland's escape were submerged by the giant's palm.

But Roland had no intention of escaping. He just looked at the fierce wind that was pouring down, as sharp as a blade. Without any wavering in his cold voice, he held Esther's hand and chanted the incantation of the contract.

"——The cold Queen of Steel, the holy sword that slays demons! Transform it into a steel sword here and give me divine power."

Aster's figure slowly dispersed in the light, while Roland tightly held the deepest beam of light.

Then, just before the violent force that was about to crush all level 5 adventurers came, like the breath of a dragon, light that was darker than darkness flashed past mercilessly.

The next moment, the brilliant glow continued to climb upwards, dispersing the shadows brought by the palms, and pierced the sky, like a rising blazing sun.

In the gorgeous golden light, in the roar that resounded in all directions, the sound of steel and iron breaking through the flesh continued to sound.

Goliath's slapped palm had been neatly separated from his shoulder, flew into the sky above the grotto, and finally hit the ground hard.

Goliath's skin, which seemed to be indestructible with ordinary weapons, and his tough and strong muscles, were as fragile as thin paper in front of the holy sword that could kill the Demon King.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Goliath's dark pupils couldn't help but flash a trace of scarlet, and his eyes slowly opened out, expressing his inner anger. Even if he had a low IQ, he had no tactics. With his ferocity fully aroused, he just hunched up his body, tensed his whole body's strength on his legs, and then stepped down suddenly with his burly thighs, trying to crush this little man who was far smaller than himself.

But Roland just raised the holy sword in his hand again in the roaring wind. Under the continuous infusion of magic power, the light on Esther's sword continued to flicker.

"boom--!"

Roland crushed the ground and released his magic power wantonly. An unspeakable storm suddenly rose, mixing with broken boulders and swirling sand and dust.

The terrifying aftermath was like a gushing flame, spreading behind him, bursting out in all directions, and making sharp concussions.

In a moment shorter than the blink of an eye, Roland stepped on the air and came to Goliath, looking down at the giant who was still moving before his pupils had just turned around.

Then, he turned his wrist and swung his sword from top to bottom towards the sky!

Just this movement stirred up huge air waves, the spiral of light wavered in his hand, and a shrill and high-pitched scream suddenly sounded.

The sky-piercing sword light swept out, the holy sword of steel cut off all obstacles that dared to stand in front of the sword light, and the aftermath of the wind pressure stagnated into a solid, turning into a huge fan, blowing away and crushing everything around .

"Zheng——!!!"

Amidst the crisp tearing sound, the mighty sword light chopped the huge Goliath into many pieces, causing blood curtains like rain clouds to splash out continuously.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

The giant had just stepped on the ground-breaking foot, and all he could do was scream before dying.

'Then, the moment the light went out, his wailing stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Goliath's flesh that was still gushing blood also turned into ashes and floated slowly to the ground with a bang. After the body disappeared, the magic stone that was as tall as a person also fell heavily. Come down as a reward for the victor.

The whole place suddenly fell silent.

Everyone in Loki's family fell into a daze as they watched Roland slowly lower his holy sword in the ashes and annihilate the mutated floor master in such a short time.

And Riveria, who was preparing to rescue in a dangerous situation, hadn't even finished singing.

"It only took one blow..."

"Is it possible to jump on Goliath's head without using magic?"

Just like the rumors about defeating Ai Si, Roland still only took a short time to defeat the floor master.

But what really made Finn clench his fists, feel that his three views had been subverted, and his mind began to become confused was the fact that Roland's strength was much more than what he showed.

Even the hard-spoken Bert has to admit this, although his face has turned blue and white now, completely distorted.

"hero……"

For a while, only Aisi's whispers remained on the scene. She looked at Roland, and the brilliance in her eyes shone like stars.

Roland also gradually fell down. Looking at the huge magic stone in front of him that was taller than himself, he was not at all complacent, but looked solemnly at what fell behind the magic stone.

Pieces of purple crystals that were as cloudy as glass fell to the ground, breaking into tiny pieces.

"Didn't disappear?"

In the dungeon, the monsters killed will turn into ashes and dissipate, return, and will not drop anything except magic stones and materials.

But the Goliath in front of him broke this rule. Although his body had disappeared, the purple crystals that had given him strength and were attached to his joints were still intact.

And this thing is obviously not in the category of dropped objects.

Roland picked up a piece from the ground and carefully felt the power of chaos in it.

Although it is very thin, it is indeed the power transformed by the soul. The dungeon does not seem to have much exposure to this side technology, and it will not leave such flaws that violate the operating rules.

In other words, these purple crystals...

"Is it the product of the contract spirit?"

Roland pondered for a while, before he could take a further look, the surrounding purple crystals instantly turned into beautiful and crystal clear dust and dissipated with the wind.

The one in his hand was no exception, and a lot of dust brushed directly over his body. However, this scene made Roland, who was not even moved at all when facing Goliath, a little distracted.

Because he realized something.

When the dust was scattered just now, there was a magical power of a spell in his body, which was activated instinctively.

At this moment, in Roland's eyes, the mark belonging to the noble horse is continuously lighting up, driving away all unknown external forces.
