Chapter 55 Reencounter with the Apollo Familia
To destroy Goliath!
Roy wasn't surprised when he saw the panel pop up. The floor master was one of the special monsters in the dungeon, so it would be strange if the system didn't react.
Goliath was born two weeks apart.
Since most of the Familia explore the lower levels and rest in Rivera Town on the eighteenth floor, and Goliath sometimes blocks the way to the eighteenth floor, adventurers will defeat Goliath.
The fact that the system has issued a notification means that Goliath has already been born and has not yet been defeated.
Roy led Liu into the seventeenth floor in a hurry. What came into view was a huge white wall, which was different from the previous floors and was extremely spectacular.
Then, they ran into another group of more than twenty people, all wearing matching men's and women's uniforms. Who else could they be but the Apollo Familia?
"The Astrea Familia!"
The opposing team also noticed Roy and Ryu, and a gasp of surprise rang out from the group.
Many members showed a hint of fear on their faces, the events of that day still vivid in their minds.
The captain of the group, Hyacintosh, looked even worse. Although his physical injuries had been healed, he was left with deep psychological trauma. He, who considered himself a supernova, was knocked to the ground by Gale and had no ability to fight back.
Roy saw Daphne in Apollo's kinship corps; poor thing, she still couldn't escape.
Even if he helped them escape that day, how could the Apollo clan, those persistent pests, possibly give up? For the sake of their god Apollo, they chased him to the ends of the earth.
However, Roy just wanted to disgust the other person.
Daphne also saw Roy and Liu, and silently lowered her head, her eyes dim and lifeless.
Seeing the fully armed Apollo clan, Roy asked, "Are you also going to fight Goliath?"
"So what?" Hyacintos forcibly shifted his gaze away from Gale.
Roy curled his lip. There was actually a group of people trying to steal experience points. The floor master, Goliath, was equivalent to a defense-specialized Lv.4 monster. The LV.3 Hyacintosh with a dozen or so LV.2 members could probably defeat it.
At this moment, Hyacintos and the others seemed to realize that Roy and Ryu had also come to fight Goliath.
This made the atmosphere a little awkward.
It's not surprising that they bumped into each other here. After the adventurers defeat Goliath, they report the information to the guild, and the other adventurers can accurately predict when to defeat him again based on Goliath's regeneration time.
Both groups of people had their eyes on this point.
Monsters' magic stones and dropped materials are quite valuable. In dungeons, adventurers often compete for monsters, and it comes down to who has the bigger fist.
As for splitting the profits equally?
That's impossible. They can defeat it all by themselves. Why should they share half of the prize they've already got?
On the surface, Roy's side has a Level 4 Ryu, but since the Apollo Familia dared to attack a Level 4 Goliath, they obviously wouldn't be afraid of Level 4.
This is not the same unexpected encounter as before.
Hyacinthus brought all the elite of the Apollo Familia, fully equipped and ready for battle.
If the two sides were to actually fight, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Rumble!
The two sides were deadlocked, but time would not wait for them. With a roar, the ground shook, the white walls swayed, and cracks appeared all over the surface of the walls.
The walls shattered, and rubble crashed down. A small giant emerged from it, reaching a total height of seven meters, far exceeding the size of other monsters. It was arguably the largest dungeon monster Roy had ever seen.
Needless to say, the members of the Apollo Familia wore expressions of varying degrees of shock.
Ryu's expression remained calm; he had been defeated by his former companions several times before and was no longer surprised.
The owner of the seventeenth floor—Goliath!
Roy shouted at the other side, "Yacintos, one minute! We each have one minute. Whoever can kill Goliath gets to keep him."
Hyacinthus pondered for a few seconds, then quickly made a decision, "Alright, but we'll go first!"
"Okay!" A strange light flashed in Roy's eyes.
"All troops, charge!"
With a command from Yacintos.
The members of the Apollo Familia rushed forward. They had also heard Hyacinthus and Roy's agreement: they only had one minute. Time was of the essence, and the task was urgent!
The lineup distribution was already clearly arranged before it was even announced.
Three or four vanguards raised their heavy shields and charged towards Goliath's front.
The center-backs collectively rushed forward to besiege Goliath.
The magician hiding in the back began chanting a spell, and there was also a healer at the very back of the group.
They even assigned several defenders to guard against any unexpected situations, mainly keeping an eye on Roy and Liu, but if the two really went on the field, the opponent couldn't stop them.
"Do you think they can take it down within a minute?" Roy asked Ryu, his voice low.
Ryuten's blue eyes swept over the members of the Apollo Familia. The lineup was very complete, but they lacked experience in dealing with Goliath. If the time limit was one minute, "there's a 30% chance of success."
Roy smiled with satisfaction. As long as this group couldn't kill Goliath instantly, he was relieved.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The vanguard stands at the front, allowing the back row to unleash devastating attacks.
The Apollo Familia's magic squad unleashed their spells in unison, unleashing supernatural forces such as mudslides, flames, and hurricanes upon Goliath.
Goliath's skin was charred black from the blast.
Goliath lived up to his reputation as a defensively specialized floor master, withstanding more than a dozen spells with only minor scratches. Ordinary swords and blades could not leave a mark.
The main force is undoubtedly the LV.3 Hyacintos.
"My name is Love, darling of light. I dedicate this body to my sun! My name is Sin, jealousy of the wind. I summon a gust of wind to descend upon this body! I hurl my fiery wheel! Come, western wind! Crimson radiance!"
"Otherworldly Zephyros!"
Hyacinthus chanted a spell aloud, and a huge halo of light appeared in his palm, radiating intense heat. He then hurled the halo towards Goliath.
boom!
The halo swept through the air, and Goliath raised his hand to block it. A piercing sound rang out, like a chainsaw, severing one of the little giant's arms, which fell heavily to the ground and turned into dust.
Hyacinthus looked grim; he had failed.
Goliath seemed to be enraged as well. His originally black eyes turned blood red, and he swept his other hand across, sending the vanguard of the Apollo Familia flying.
Many stones fell into the ranks of mages, screams rang out, and many were injured as a result.
Hyacinthus yelled at the healer at the back of the group, "Hurry up and heal them! What are you doing?"
As a newcomer, and only at LV.1, Daphne did not join the battle, but instead protected the team's healer, Cassandra.
Hearing Hyacinthus's reprimand, the timid blue-haired girl was so frightened that she could barely hold her staff, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Hyacinthus and Goliath.
"Time's up, change of players!"
Just then, Roy's voice rang out.
