Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 510: Moving Forward [Update]

Half a day later.

“Ding-ling-ling-ling——!”

A harsh reminder sounded, bringing the two people back to their senses while they were immersed in the creation of alchemical creatures and alchemical sealing talismans respectively.

"Is it time?"

Xin Lailai glanced at the time on the branding interface, rubbed his forehead gently, put away the experimental table and the various alchemical props piled on the side, and after a long sigh of relief, he took out something from the storage space and checked it:

……

After being upgraded to the legendary quality, the enhancement level of the Blessing of the Tree Spirit was naturally reduced from +12 to +8, but the strength of the equipment was greatly improved compared to before. Not only did the treatment bonus reach an astonishing level of 75%, but it also added a new effect of "self-healing of trauma".

Recovering 7 health points per second may not seem high, but if combined with the 75% healing bonus and the 9 points of recovery per minute provided by his "Energy Cycle Basic·Modified", as well as the regular passive "Light of Life" learned before entering the world of Dicuo, which increases the healing effect by 70% when the health is below 60%, it means that now when his health is below 70%, as long as he enters a meditative state, the health recovery rate will reach an astonishing 1008 points/minute. In the true sense, he can be a brave man again after lying down for ten minutes even though his health is low.

Of course, considering the treatment methods and potion reserves he has now, the effect is not that strong. After all, when the time comes when he really needs to rely on this thing to recover his health in an emergency, it is likely that he has been forced into a desperate situation. At that time, it is hard to say whether he will have the chance to calm down and meditate.

But no matter what, he finally has an additional means of recovery, and even if we ignore the blood recovery effect, the 75% treatment bonus is already strong enough, especially since he is now in a team with Yamu and others.

[Hint: Already equipped with "Tree Spirit's Blessing +8"]

After re-equipping the Blessing of the Tree Spirit, Xin Lailai looked at Yamu who was stretching lazily, and the Death Bearer and Dao Ji who were walking towards him, nodded slightly, and said:

"Death Bearer, how is the effect of your equipment?"

"Not bad. Now, a single hit like Barol's would be enough."

The Death Bearer replied, and casually sent the effects of his Transcendence suit to the team channel. Xin Lailai took a quick glance, and after seeing the damage bonus that was almost the upper limit of his sword power bonus and the sharpness, slashing strength, and power judgment bonuses, his eyelids twitched slightly and nodded:
"Very good. This way, the chances of success will be greater."

The netherworld death energy of the Death Master has the effects of prohibiting healing and instantly killing the target if the player has too little health left. Although the specific abnormal characteristics of the world of the Earth are still unclear, judging from the abyss derivatives and creatures encountered along the way, they are most likely distortions and mutations.

The final creatures born from this type of abnormal characteristics usually have strong immortality, so the role of the Death Executioner in this operation is, to a certain extent, even greater than that of Dao Ji, the strongest among the few.

"Let's go. The adventurers should be almost ready."

"Tsk tsk, I say, you better take it easy this time. There are many ways to stop them from thinking about it, but don't set them off with another word."

Yamu, who was yawning and changing his clothes, complained and glanced at Xin Lailai.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Xin Lailai said calmly, took out the Yuan Mo whose durability had been fully restored from the storage space, and walked steadily towards the direction of the adventurer's camp.

Upon hearing this, Yamu shrugged helplessly, smiled, and followed the Death Eater and Dao Ji.

Ten minutes later, an unusually quiet campsite appeared in the sight of the four people. In the campsite, adventurers could be seen sitting silently in front of their tents, seemingly waiting for something.

Near the campfire, four figures of very different heights were standing there. The leader of the Dwarf Tribe at the front saw Xin Lailai and his group coming towards them, his eyes flickered, and then he smiled, took the initiative to walk over and greeted them:
"Mr. Tyrant, and everyone else, how was your rest last night?"

"Not bad, how about you guys?"

Xinlailai said, looking at the three people behind Finn:
The white-haired boy was seen standing beside the blonde sword girl a little stiffly and cautiously, while the blonde sword girl was staring upwards in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

As for the tall orc behind the two men, who was half a body taller than the boy, he stood there with his arms folded, looking calmly at the scene in front of him with no intention of speaking at all.

Finn, Ota, Ace, Belle.

These are the only four adventurers of level 70 among the 34 adventurers who survived all the way to the 4th floor.

The first three had accumulated enough great deeds and experience before, and reached LV.40 before entering the 7th floor, while Bell Crany changed his family and asked Hephaestus to help him upgrade his level, and then he temporarily reached LV.60 on the 7th floor.

"Well, it went well, right? At least there was no quarrel or anything."

Finn noticed Xin Lailai's gaze, looked at the three people behind him who were silent, smiled helplessly, and spread his hands.

"If there's no problem, let's go straight away.

Xin Lailai said this without even glancing at the silent adventurers around him. Instead, he led Yamu and the others straight towards the entrance to the 71st floor.

"That's really a swift and decisive move. In that case, we should leave too, Aisi, what do you think?"

"Eh? Yeah."

The golden-haired sword girl who was in a trance came back to her senses, some nodded idly and followed the pace of the dwarf boy.

"Ah... OK, OK!"

The white-haired young man standing aside, who looked very reserved, shuddered at first, then nodded quickly and followed quickly. Ota, who was at the back, did not say much when faced with this scene, but just followed behind the few people with heavy and steady steps.

Inside the camp, Hephaestus, who was holding a forging hammer and wearing a tattered leather jacket, looked at the scene, sighed lightly, then smashed the forging hammer in his hand and shouted to the adventurers around him:

"Hey! How long are you guys going to wait? Are you really going to wait until they leave and never come back?!"

Hephaestus said, shaking his long fiery red hair, stepping on the forging table, taking off the blindfold on his face, looking at the eight people's backs as they walked away, taking a deep breath, and shouting:

"Hey! That guy called Tyrant, and the others, all of you listen to me!"

"I don't care what you encounter down there, but since we've already sent you here as agreed, you'll have to give the bastards who made this dungeon look like this a good beating! Do you understand?!"

The red-haired female forger, who was dressed like a pirate, shouted boldly. The adventurers beside her were startled at first, and then the short-haired female adventurer who was a member of Hephaestus' family and had been standing behind Hephaestus chuckled, and then she also imitated her own god and shouted to Xinlailai and others in the distance:

"Hey! Tyrant, Netherworld, Agent, and that little guy called Sword Maniac. Although I haven't said a few words to you, you are really strong, so I'll leave it to you from now on!"

"No... That's right! Master Bell, keep working hard!!"

"Haha, isn't this great? Brother Daoji! And little hero Argo, I'm really optimistic about you guys!"

"Tsk, Ota, remember to crush all those bastards down there! Let them see how powerful our Freya clan is!"

"Ah, damn it...what the hell is this! Assholes, I don't care. Since I can't go down, if you guys can't handle it, don't blame me for not letting you go even if I become a ghost!" Shouts and cheers rang out from the camp which was silent a few minutes ago. Just like the scene before everyone set out, most of the 34 adventurers present at this moment were shouting hysterically like the people of Orario who cheered for them at that time.

His face flushed, and he shouted with all his might, as if he wanted to vent all his emotions, including his reluctance to not be able to move forward with him, his fear and anger that he had experienced during this period, his desire and expectation to end it all... through this roar.

"Oh~! This is really spectacular, so, could this also be part of your plan?"

Amid the excited cheers, Yamu, who was walking beside Xin Lailai, looked at the scene behind him, whistled frivolously, and teased with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai turned around and glanced at the camp behind him. The figure of the slovenly middle-aged adventurer sitting in the corner of the camp was reflected in his dark pupils. He was silent for a while. When he was about to turn around, he suddenly met the other person's raised head, his extremely complicated bloodshot eyes, and his slightly moving dry lips.

'Don't let Vinnie's death be in vain.'

"..."

The dark pupils suddenly contracted and expanded, and finally turned their heads along with the black-haired young man.

"It was just an accident."

The black-haired young man said indifferently, and then continued to lead the group forward.

Yamu stood behind him, glanced at the smile on his face, chuckled, and said playfully:
"I never thought a guy like you could be so inconsistent. I have to take a picture of this to commemorate it!"

"…We are almost at the entrance. Don't do anything unnecessary."

"Yes, yes! Captain Black, come on, smile, eggplant!"

"roll!"

“Hahahaha~!”

A hearty laugh came from the blond young man. The somewhat innocent sword girl at the back looked at the scene in front of her, tilted her head slightly, and muttered:
"They... have a good relationship?"

"Ah, uh... sorry, Miss Ais, did you just say anything?"

The white-haired boy who had seemed absent-minded came to his senses and asked the blonde sword girl somewhat embarrassedly.

"Bell-kun, being too distracted isn't a good thing, you know? Although I admit that our Ais is very attractive."

"I... didn't! I... I just...!"

Finn, who was walking in front, turned around and teased, causing the white-haired boy's face to turn red immediately, and he began to explain in a panic.

"arrive."

At this moment, Ota's mature and steady voice suddenly came, which made the white-haired boy startled. He quickly looked up and noticed that Xin Lailai and others in front of him had stopped at some point, and the shouts and cheers from the back had disappeared at some point.

At a glance, one can see a heavy stone gate with ancient patterns sitting in front of everyone. The surface full of traces of time and the height of nearly fifty meters give people a silent sense of oppression just standing there.

This is... the entrance to the 71st floor.

Bell Craney looked at the stone door in front of him, his throat moved slightly twice, and his red eyes stared at the stone door in front of him, as if he wanted to record every detail on it.

Even the Zeus and Hera families had never reached this place, but today, they were standing here.

Looking at the entrance in front of him, an indescribable emotion rose in Bell's heart, causing his heart to beat violently. But before he could savor this surging feeling, he heard a roar suddenly explode in his ears:

Boom——! !

The ground around them shook violently, which scared the absent-minded Bell.

What happened?! An attack?!

"Ms. Aisi, little...uh?!"

Bell looked around hastily, and instinctively drew out his short blade to block the blonde sword girl. But the next second, the white-haired boy was stunned. Looking at the scene in front of him, a look of confusion flashed in his red eyes.

What's this?
The pitch-black surface reflects a metallic luster, and the strong and heavy limbs and torso give people a sense of oppressive power. The twelve wing blades spread high behind and the hilt of the sword pointing straight to the sky behind the back make people feel an indescribable throbbing at a glance.

So handsome...

This was the first thought that came to Bell Crany's mind after seeing the full picture of the steel behemoth in front of him.

"This is an ancient magic item I got in the past. Because it has a limited time to act and is not convenient to act in a multi-person situation, I have never used it."

Xin Lailai's voice rang out, and she had landed on the cockpit of the black mecha without knowing when.

Om-! !

Suddenly, a soft light rose in front of everyone and quickly spread out, causing Bell and others to subconsciously look forward.

"Mr. Tyrant, this is..."

"This is another magic item. It will also be very useful for our next action, but it also has a limited duration."

Xin Lailai glanced at the abyss suppression device that had been activated by Yamu, looked at the prompt that popped up at the edge of his vision, explained casually, jumped into the cockpit, and said with his soul as the door closed:
"Time is tight. I will be responsible for clearing the way. You just need to cooperate with Dao Ji and the others."

"I'll open the door when you're ready."

A loud voice rang out in Bell and the others' heads, bringing them back to their senses. Their expressions changed and they nodded.

"No problem, Your Excellency Tyrant, let's get started!"

Finn, the leader, said in a deep voice. Xin Lailai nodded slightly when he heard it. With a thought, he controlled the dark steel mecha to move.

Boom, boom, boom——!!

The more than ten-meter-tall black mecha took heavy steps, and with the sound of the ground shaking, it walked step by step to the huge stone gate that was more than four times taller than itself. It leaned its body slightly, spread its legs, and pressed its two strong metal arms on both sides of the gap of the gate, and then suddenly exerted force.

boom!
A dull roar like a huge pile hitting a bronze bell was heard, and the dark red lines on the black mecha lit up one after another. The huge stone door in front of them, which was more than 50 meters high, opened to both sides little by little under the terrifying propulsion of the dark steel mecha.

Buzz, rumble—! !

A huge buzzing sound like the movement of a mountain was heard, and the tightly closed door opened little by little, revealing the scene behind it to everyone.

"Um?!"

But when Xin Lailai saw the scene clearly, he was stunned.

Not only him, but also Yamu and others were all stunned.

It was neither a hell filled with stinking water nor a palace emitting an ominous aura, and even the most familiar cave was missing.

All that was presented before their eyes was pure emptiness.

The clean land seemed to have an end in sight, and in the vast underground space, nothing could be seen except the rock walls.

Gray, dead silent, nothing there, the ground looked as if it had been washed, clean and smooth, without any trace of monsters.

The whole world is so quiet, so quiet that one wonders if one is hallucinating, so quiet that one...

shudder.
