19 Orcs on Twelfth Floor!
Chapter 19: Orcs on Twelfth Floor!
*Splash—*
Accompanied by a flash of cold light, the Needle Rabbit's body was directly cleaved in two, and blood sprayed out.
Around it, blood puddles of various sizes were scattered everywhere.
*Bang—*
Having suffered a fatal attack, the Needle Rabbit's body disintegrated directly, turning into black ashes that vanished into the air, leaving only a magic stone lying quietly on the ground.
*Swoosh—*
Just after the magic stone fell to the ground, a crack tore open in space, and the magic stone was directly sucked into it.
Ethan had also been curious about why his "Imaginary Number Magic" manifested in this way.
He wondered why it looked like this compared to others in Fateverse.
However, in this world without magecraft or "magus," this question was destined to remain unanswered.
Under the influence of "Falna," the "Imaginary Space" was born into this world, and it even existed in the form of Ethan's "skill."
However, Ethan's "Imaginary Space" was still in a primitive state, requiring continuous development and exploration.
The way to do so was simple: consume magic energy, and he could develop and enhance the "Imaginary Space."
Last night, after storing the teacup, more than half of Ethan's magic reserves were suddenly consumed at once.
It wasn't the cost of activating the "Imaginary Space" but rather the consumption of expanding its volume.
Moreover, because within the "Imaginary Space," there was no concept of 'time,' 'space,' or even 'physical rules,' anything placed inside and then taken out would undergo no changes.
Ethan liked this aspect a lot because it meant that if he encountered something precious, storing it in and taking it out wouldn't cause any issues.
The only regret was that the current "Imaginary Space" was still too small and couldn't hold much.
*Clatter—*
In front of Ethan, a space crack opened, and several magic stones fell down.
"Hmm~"
Then came the familiar 'pleasure time,' the sensation of absorbing magic stones was truly exhilarating, making it irresistible.
Sometimes Ethan wondered if there were any drawbacks to this, like getting addicted to it like 'narcotics' and developing a dependency on it.
Of course, all of this was just speculation.
"It's the eleventh floor, and now the Needle Rabbits are starting to appear~~~"
Today's [Daily Mission] is an exploration type, with the objective of reaching the twelfth floor of the dungeon.
And it seems like Ethan will complete it soon.
At the same time, after this experience, Ethan can confirm that his strength has improved a lot.
Previously, he would hover around the third to fifth floors, but now he can easily handle the eleventh floor.
Indeed, after gaining Falna, the speed at which his strength improves is much faster.
*Step—step—step—*
Soon, crossing the passage between the eleventh and twelfth floor, Ethan finally arrived at his destination.
[Daily Mission: Explore the dungeon, reach the twelfth floor!]
[Completion Progress: 12/12]
[Mission Reward: Diamonds*10]
With the mission completed, Ethan smiled, and a new round of diamond accumulation began.
As the rewards arrived, Ethan instinctively looked around.
The twelfth floor was shrouded in mist, with low visibility, visual range about seven to eight meters. Moreover, the terrain here was plain, with quite a lot of weeds and some dead trees.
*Shush—shush—*
At this moment, there were some rustling sounds around, and Ethan couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Soon, pairs of crimson eyes appeared in the dense fog. It seemed like there were quite a few of them, at least a dozen enemies.
Not long after, Ethan clearly saw the true faces of these guys.
Orcs, monsters that appear in the upper floors of the dungeon, level 1 monsters.
But for most low-class adventurers, they are troublesome enemies.
*Splash—*
An Orc directly pulled a dead tree from the ground, holding it as a weapon.
Such scenes were constantly playing out around.
The twelfth level also had another name, the 'Nature Weapon/Arsenal.'
The dead trees here were like weapons provided by the dungeon for monsters.
"Yala~ Yala~"
Watching the Orcs approaching from all sides, Ethan felt a bit helpless. Dealing with so many Orc would take some time, but conveniently, there was something Ethan wanted to test.
"Projection, begin—"
*Hum—*
In Ethan's hands, two exquisite one-handed swords appeared.
*Howl—*
Suddenly, an Orc let out a roar, acting like a spark that instantly ignited all the others.
They all rushed forward, howling.
This scene was a first for Ethan, as he had mostly been on the upper floors before.
However, faced with this situation, Ethan couldn't just sit back and wait for their attack.
Just now, he had an idea.
If his guess could succeed, he would have gained a good technique against multiple enemies.
*Swoosh—*
Facing the charge of a group of Orcs, Ethan took a deep breath, focused his mind, and then directly threw one of the one-handed swords in his hand.
*Splash—*
Because these Orcs moved in groups, they were relatively dense.
The sword he threw pierced the arm of one Orc, but for these thick-skinned creatures, such an attack was practically useless.
In fact, piercing the skin of the Orc and making them bleed only seemed to stimulate them, arousing their ferocity.
"Broken Phantasm!"
At this moment, a slight smile appeared on Ethan's lips as he slowly uttered these four words.
*Boom—*
Suddenly, a violent explosion resounded.
Among the Orcs, it was as if a grenade had detonated.
Instantly, three Orcs were blown apart, and a few others were seriously injured.
"The power seems not bad; it's already comparable to a hand grenade."
However, using a sword as a grenade every time might not be feasible.
Ethan thought he should get a bow, especially since Archer Emiya was a good example.
Broken Phantasm could be initiated with a bow, projecting arrows, and then detonating them.
*Splash—*
At this moment, an Orc tried to sneak attack Ethan, but unfortunately, Ethan stabbed the creature through with his newly manifested sword.
Although he was contemplating just now, it didn't mean he had lost awareness of his surroundings.
After surviving in the dungeon for over a month, especially experiencing several life-threatening situations, he had already grown up.
He might not be a qualified warrior, but he was definitely a qualified adventurer.
