PFC Chapter 56 Justice Will Ultimately Pierce Through the Sun
Chapter 56 Justice Will Ultimately Pierce Through the Sun
A minute is neither short nor long. Despite their best efforts, the Apollo Familia clearly could not defeat Goliath, the floor master with specialized defenses.
Upon hearing Roy's suggestion to replace him, Hyacintos protested, "You can't do this! We've already severely damaged Goliath; this is stealing a monster!"
Look at Goliath over there, he's lost an arm, his body is covered in wounds, and he's already bleeding profusely.
How could Hyacinthus and the Apollo Familia be willing to let Roy and his group get away with this for nothing?
"An agreement is an agreement!"
Roy laughed, "It's not like I told you to go first. And if we can't defeat Goliath within a minute, you can keep coming up."
Hyacinthus laughed in anger, "Nonsense, the Astrea Familia has a Level 4 Gale."
Roy then changed the subject, "Or... do you want to break the agreement and fight us first?"
Hearing the coldness in Roy's tone, Hyacinthus's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, and he waved his hand dismissively.
"Everyone back off."
The members of the Apollo Familia looked unwilling, but they had no choice but to retreat. Inside the dungeon, they had to obey orders no matter what, as it concerned everyone's lives.
Nobody likes someone who disobeys orders, breaks formation, or does things their own way.
"If it weren't for Lord Apollo's favor, I would have killed you all!" Hyacinthus looked coldly at Daphne and Cassandra. In his opinion, if the treatment was timely, they could succeed in their conquest.
Cassandra was too timid to speak.
Daphne's face was displeased, her resentment towards the Apollo Familia had reached its peak, and she was actually willing to put her hopes on the two newcomers.
"Commander, we put in a lot of effort."
Many members complained to Yacintos.
"Don't rush, it's still uncertain who will defeat Goliath." A sinister glint flashed across Hyacinthus's face.
When it was Roy and Ryu's turn to complete their one-minute strategy, the entire Apollo Familia withdrew, their eyes fixed on the magic stone clock, determined not to let Roy use even a second more.
Roy grinned maliciously as he drew the greatsword hanging on his back. It was the Giant Slayer sword, which he rarely used; the heavy sword had no edge, making it seem like a blunt weapon.
This equipment has a very special effect: it deals more damage to larger monsters, while the damage decreases for smaller monsters.
The upper limit is epic level, and the lower limit is low level.
Roy and Ryu attacked Goliath from both sides.
Ryu's swift speed allowed her to arrive first, attracting Goliath's attention. Her golden figure moved rapidly, like a phantom, and engaged Goliath in a fierce battle.
Goliath couldn't catch the agile Ryu at all.
Roy appeared behind Goliath, raised the Giant Slayer sword high, and swung it down at Goliath's back.
As Goliath's slash came, the Giant Slayer seemed to sense something; its previously blunt blade became sharp, gleaming with a cold, icy light.
Roy gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, channeling all his strength into it, and the blade ripped through Goliath's rough skin, revealing the muscles beneath.
The wound was so deep that the magic stone inside could be seen.
"roar!"
Goliath let out a mournful cry, took a step forward, staggered, and almost fell.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Apollo Familia were displeased. They were unaware of the Giant Slayer's special effects, so they assumed that they had crippled Goliath, which allowed Roy to break through Goliath's defenses so easily.
Goliath turned his head, about to attack Roy, when a golden afterimage swept past his feet.
Bang!
Ryu slashed Goliath's heel, sending the latter crashing to the ground.
"Charge, Thunder Spear! I, in the name of the Agent, hereby command you to be granted this title. My name is the Overlord of Thunder, the Incarnation of Thunder, the Master of Thunder—"
Roy planted the Giant Slayer in the ground and began chanting rapidly, golden electricity surging from his palms.
Ryu couldn't help but glance at Roy. What was going on? After fighting together for a week, how could she not know that Roy's magic was incantationless?
Roy pretended to chant an incantation, and as he finished, the golden lightning in his palm transformed into two spears.
Go!
Roy tensed his leg muscles, took a step forward, and threw out two lightning spears, which flashed past like two golden bolts of lightning.
It precisely pierced Goliath's eyes.
boom!
The spear of thunder exploded with a deafening roar, leaving two bloody, charred holes in Goliath's eyes, with the surrounding crackling electric snakes seemingly still tearing at it.
As Roy and Liu were about to kill Goliath, Hyacinthus grew increasingly anxious. He had never felt a minute to be so long and agonizing.
Hyacinthus asked anxiously, "How much longer?"
"Commander, there are 30 seconds left."
Hyacinthus felt a chill run down his spine. There was still half the time left, enough for Roy and Ryu to kill that weakened Goliath several times over.
"No more waiting, all personnel, charge!"
Hyacinthus shouted and charged ahead. The resentful members of the Apollo Familia followed closely behind, rushing towards Goliath.
Seeing this, Roy snorted coldly.
He knew these guys wouldn't behave.
Coincidentally, if Apollo's Familia were to defeat Goliath, Roy would certainly try to seize it as well.
In the dungeon, the trust between non-comrades is less than a pile of dung; neither side is a good person, so it comes down to who has the more insidious methods.
"The Wind of Light—"
Ryu's clear voice rang out. While dealing with Goliath, she had already completed her magic incantation. This was the mark of a master who knew how to chant in parallel. The Apollo Familia's magicians could only stand behind and be protected.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ryu's powerful magic at LV.4 surged forth, illuminating the surroundings, and emerald green orbs of light rained down, covering the path in which the Apollo Familia were advancing.
A series of explosions rang out.
The intense explosion forced the Apollo clan members to retreat, preventing them from approaching Goliath any further.
Taking advantage of this brief opening, Roy picked up the Giant Slayer sword, leaped forward, and plunged the greatsword into Goliath's abdomen through the previously torn wound.
The sword pierced the magic stone inside the opponent's body.
Bang!
The enormous Goliath turned to dust, and the magic stone the size of an infant's head fell heavily to the ground.
When the dust from the explosion caused by the Wind of Light settled, the morale of the Apollo Familia plummeted as they saw that Goliath had been defeated.
Most of the members were dejected.
The only exception might be Daphne, whose pretty face revealed a hint of pleasure.
"Hmph, let's go!"
Hyacinthus, his face grim, led a large group of defeated soldiers toward the passage to the sixteenth floor.
Roy chuckled, "Take care, and don't come back to see me off."
Hyacinthus turned back, wanting to say a few harsh words, but after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and left.
"Let's go." Daphne pulled the blue-haired girl away. Cassandra Illion was her roommate in the Apollo Familia. She was timid and cowardly, and talked nonsense all day long, like a child talking about her dreams.
Cassandra stared blankly at Roy's retreating figure, her eyes glazed over. "Justice will pierce the sun!"
