Chapter 424 The Charm of the No. 1 on the List of Tall, Rich, and Handsome Men
Transfer to a higher position!
After storing the supplies Astraea had prepared into his spatial ring, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and Roy led his girls to Babel Tower Square.
Tiona, Anya, Chloe, and Lunova stayed behind to protect Astrea.
Babel Tower Square.
The place was already overflowing with people. Six hours was enough time for the guild, Hedin, and Finn to mobilize everyone, gather supplies, recruit combat personnel, and conduct public awareness campaigns to prevent panic.
Faced with a disaster that could endanger the entire city, apart from a few stubborn kids who refused to obey orders, the others were quite proactive. They had a strong sense of belonging to this land and a deep love for their home.
Freya will handle those minority groups; a single charm will make them lose consciousness.
"The Astrea Familia!"
"The madman! The madman!!"
The arrival of Roy and his group immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and the previously noisy and anxious sounds ceased.
Countless gazes, filled with undisguised fervor and anticipation, converged upon them.
Those who witnessed Roy's rise believed that this young man would surely create another miracle, and this trust even went to the point of being somewhat blind.
When Roy slowly raised his hand, it caused a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.
Roy pressed his hands down and quieted down.
The gods and other members of the Astrea Familia, who were on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel and witnessed this scene through their eye crystals, were shocked. Unbeknownst to them, the prestige of the Astrea Familia had reached such a height.
That's really scary!
Prestige is something invisible and intangible, yet it truly exists. For example, if the Astrea Familia puts another family on its "unfriendly list," that family will find it much more difficult to recruit members in the future! Manipulating public opinion is an invincible sword.
Roy's voice boomed, "Oario, this city was built because of the underground city, and has endured countless disasters because of it, but it is very resilient. The people who live here have never given in, which is why it has survived for thousands of years!"
"Now that cities are facing another terrible disaster, will we be worse off than the heroes of the past?"
"I believe none of you adventurers would agree with this!" Roy's gaze swept over the unruly adventurers below, and he declared in a passionate voice, "Now it is our turn to protect this city, to slay the corrupt fairies, to defeat the evil god Dionysus, and to save Orario!"
'
"Oooooooooooooooo!!"
As Roy's voice fell, a thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd, continuous and seemingly about to lift the dome of the sky. Countless eyes looked at Roy with admiration and respect.
Amidst flowers and applause, Roy was lifted high into the air.
No one else had any objections; it was what Roy deserved. The boy's efforts to protect the city were no less than anyone else's.
"Your ability to bewitch people is quite good!" Alphia glanced at Roy with her heterochromatic eyes.
"Don't put it so harshly. I'm just trying to motivate people. Willpower and matter influence human actions, and they complement each other for the best results," Roy said innocently, spreading his hands.
Having finished his pre-battle speech, Roy turned his attention back to the troops he was leading.
Bold words need to be backed by real strength!
The main force to defeat the corrupt fairy spirits consists of twelve people: him, Ryu, Tione, Haruhime, Alphia, Ota, Allen, Leon, Finn, Riveria, Grace, and Amid.
This is arguably the strongest lineup that can be assembled in the lower realm. If they can't defeat the Filthy Fairy and Dionysus, then there's really nothing they can do!
The party was almost entirely made up of renowned adventurers, with one exception—Alphia.
"Who is that? Does anyone know him?"
Many people cast curious glances at the silver-haired girl in the group, but Alphia was disguised by her magical armor, and no one could see through her disguise.
"Go, Mom Alphia, Mr. Roy, Teacher Leon!" Little Bell hid in the crowd, secretly worried about the people she cared about.
"You must defeat the Filthy Fairy and that bastard Dionysus—that's what the guild leader asked me to convey," a guild employee said sheepishly.
After Royman transformed into a demon, he could not appear in the sunlight. Although the guild had commissioned a major magical country to develop a "full-coverage sun-protective suit" at great expense, he still dared not go out because he valued his life.
"hehe!"
Roy and the others exchanged knowing smiles. Without Royman giving unsolicited instructions, the team quickly entered the dungeon, prioritizing speed.
The group arrived at the huge crater left by the elevator.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The enormous crater before us seemed endless, incredibly deep, like a path leading straight to the depths of hell.
A terrifying gale surged upwards from the endless darkness, carrying a biting chill and a putrid smell. The wind howled sharply, sometimes like the desperate screams of a thousand vengeful spirits, sometimes like the seductive whispers of a demon in one's ear, making one's soul tremble.
however!
Standing on the edge of the abyss, Roy and the others showed no fear whatsoever; their eyes were sharp as eagles, revealing a steely calmness.
They planned to use this pit to reach the thirty-sixth floor. The guild had only opened up to the twenty-first floor, and it was only thanks to Roy's use of earth powers that the other entrances were preserved; the deeper ones had already been repaired by the dungeon.
"Set off!"
At Roy's command, Ota, Finn, and the others did not hesitate and, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, one after another leaped into the bottomless elevator pit, their figures disappearing into the deep darkness.
Ryu picked up Amide, who was not of a high enough level.
My body was torn apart by gravity and fell straight down. Sharp wind pressure scraped against my skin and tore at my clothes. My eardrums were stung by the intense air pressure.
"Gather, breath of the earth—my name is Alf!" Riveria said in a deep voice.
A life entrusted to a fleeting dream!
The magic activated, and everyone was enveloped in a layer of resilient, colorful light, ignoring the sudden attack launched by monsters from other floors near the pit.
In fact, under Roy's control, no monsters would attack them at all, but he didn't want to reveal his "Earth Power" ability yet.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The dull thud sounded like a giant hammer striking a drum.
With a series of deafening roars, Roy, Ryu, Ota, Alphia, and the others passed through thirty-six floors and landed heavily.
It crashed down like a cannonball!
Rocks shattered, rubble flew everywhere, and the entire building trembled violently from the terrifying impact. The dull thuds of the impact, mixed with the groans of the rock strata, echoed wildly and endlessly in the abyss.
"This is the first time I've ever experienced this kind of strategy," Leon said with deep emotion.
The expressions of everyone else were more or less the same.
Only the girls of the Astrea Familia suppressed their smiles on their pretty faces. They had done this more than once before, mainly for the thrill.
In less than ten minutes, the team arrived at the thirty-sixth floor!
The speed is ridiculously fast, but it's not something ordinary adventurers can do. You need at least a physique of LV.5 or higher, or the defensive magic of Riveria.
Getting back to the main point, starting from the 37th floor, the "White Palace," monsters will appear to block them.
There was little worry on anyone's face as the group surged forward. Skeleton sheep, elite lizardmen, and cunning wolves appeared, their stats reaching LV.4.
Finn pondered, "No signs of it going berserk!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they didn't want to encounter any more accidents before meeting the tainted fairy spirit.
But being located in an underground city, how could there be no accidents!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Not only the monsters on the 37th floor, but also the man-eating flowers officially named "Violas" have emerged from the ground in dense swarms. They are a new type of monster in the dungeon, and the Loki Familia and Freya Familia have encountered them many times.
This alien species becomes stronger by devouring magic stones, with its ability values ranging from LV.2 to LV.5, a large difference between the upper and lower limits.
Of course, this was expected.
These monsters don't need to be dealt with by Roy's team; Finn and Hedin have already arranged everything.
"Kids, take them down!"
What comes into view are all the famous adventurers of Orario, at least LV.4, and a few LV.3 adventurers with special skills and magic.
A massive battle suddenly erupted.
While the monsters were held back by the adventurers, Roy's team quickly made their way through the depths.
"Lord Hathor, I can't take it anymore! This is not something an idol should be doing!"
"Don't cry, Neruti. Look, the No. 1 on Orario's list of rich, handsome, and successful men, and Neruti's number one husband candidate, 'The Madman (Roy),' is right there! This is a great opportunity to show off!"
"6
—I'll do my best!
Clearing monsters and paving the way for the main force is the duty of the other clans, but they also need an extra touch: girls of different races look at Roy, who is quickly passing by, with burning eyes.
They wished they could devour that boy right then and there!
The girls of the Astrea Familia instinctively moved closer to Roy, as if asserting their dominance.
The main force did not linger on any safe floors and quickly entered the 40th floor, the "Giant's Graveyard".
The ones providing cover for them this time were Aisha, a former member of the Ishtar Familia; Asphi, a member of the Hermes Familia; and an Amazon girl from the Kali Familia.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Before this group of fierce and unrestrained Amazon girls, the towering giants who rose from the graveyard were defeated one by one. Asphie felt out of place among them, and after a helpless sigh, she continued to work.
"Lord Roy, I like you!"
"Lord Roy, please have my child! Our child will surely be the strongest in the world!"
After Argana and Bajie were conquered by Roy, the Kali Familia also became Roy's harem candidates. They were all cheerful, lively, and carefree Amazons, without any shyness, and their confessions echoed throughout the building.
Tiony, Daphne, Cassandra, and the others were furious, their resentful eyes fixed on Roy. How many more girls was he going to provoke? The number of people who liked him could stretch from Orario to the easternmost point of the continent.
In front of outsiders, Roy could still feel a little smug.
But faced with these girls who admired him, their faces full of resentment, Roy could only smile awkwardly. It wasn't his fault that he was too charming.
After successfully navigating floors 40-43 of the Giant's Tomb, the group arrived at the "Red Lotus Mountains".
A familiar world of flames!
The burning mountains formed a mountain range, with countless thick pillars of fire shooting into the sky, rolling heat waves, and constantly spewing out the pungent smell of sulfur and acrid burning.
The Ganesha clan sheltered them in this area.
Shakti shouted, "Use magic!"
The magicians of the Ganesha Familia used magic simultaneously, and the immense magical power shook the very fabric of space.
boom!!
Upon Roy and his group's arrival, a burst of magical light erupted, striking the molten, crimson earth, and a terrifying chill spread at a visible speed.
Even in this suffocating world of fire, magic still steals away all the heat.
"Click—click-click—"
The ice rapidly solidified, and within moments, a crystal-clear, giant ice bridge radiating a chilling aura appeared, leading directly to the entrance to the next floor.
All the way to the end of the Crimson Lotus Mountains—the forty-eighth floor—there are members of the Ganesha Familia clearing out monsters and laying ice bridges for Roy's team.
Such a massive project could only be completed by the Ganesha's clan, consisting of a dozen Level 5 members and no fewer than fifty Level 4 members.
There are also a large number of LV.3 adventurers!
In terms of lower and middle-level combat strength, even the Astrea Familia, Freya Familia, and Loki Familia cannot compare with the Ganesha Familia in terms of numbers.
Bang!
At this moment, the fiery earth cracked open, and dozens of "Violas" emerged. These man-eating flower monsters were able to survive even in such a harsh environment.
Not only that, a large number of man-eating plants gathered together, forming a new kind of alien monster with a lower body like a fungus stem and an upper body that is disproportionately female.
She possesses a stunningly beautiful and mature appearance, with shoulder-length short hair, but her alien lower body is grotesque. Her hair and skin are an eerie green, and her eyes, devoid of pupils and irises, are dyed a murky gold.
Those were the remains of a corrupted fairy spirit, the corpse of a high-level fairy spirit after its death. They were not as powerful as a corrupted fairy spirit clone that had been cultivated for a long time, but they still possessed considerable magical power.
"Fire, come forth—!"
"Raging fire, raging fire, raging fire! A vortex of flames, a wall of crimson lotus, a roar of karmic fire! By harnessing the power of strong winds, the world is sealed off, burning, burning, the earth is burning, the ocean is burning—"
Hearing the super-fast chanting of the fairy remnants, everyone's expression changed. At this speed, the opponent would release an extremely long chanting spell in less than three seconds, while the Ganesha Familia had spent several minutes preparing.
This is what makes immortal spirits so terrifying.
Even in a state of death, it should not be underestimated!
Swish!
Roy was also adept at dealing with the fairy's magic, and his speed was faster than anyone else's. He drew his elven holy sword and unleashed a sharp slash that tore through the void, ignoring the distance in space.
The hideous, twisted remains of the filthy immortal spirit, filled with endless filth, along with the magic circle shimmering with ominous light, were instantly cleaved in two.
boom!
A piercing shattering sound rang out as the filthy immortal essence's remains exploded, turning into countless scattered fragments of flesh and blood.
Crisis averted!
Shakti breathed a sigh of relief. If that filthy fairy remnant had released its magic, her magicians would have been either killed or seriously injured. She had been saved by the other party once again. Her gentle gaze was fixed on Roy's back.
With a single strike, he annihilated the remains of the immortal spirit.
Roy didn't linger and quickly led everyone to the next floor. The presence of immortal remains here indicated that the corrupt immortal's demonic realm was expanding and spreading to higher levels. The longer it dragged on, the stronger the opponent would become!
Using the ice bridge built by the Ganesha Familia, the group crossed the Crimson Lotus Mountains without incident.
Arrive at the forty-ninth floor – "The Great Wilderness".
This is a wilderness comparable to a "desert labyrinth," with a super-huge cavern floor. The second echelon members of the Loki Familia—Alicia, Raul, Anachiti, and Tsubaki Corbrand of the Hephaestus Familia—are responsible for clearing out the monsters on this floor, and they are fighting fiercely.
