While others continued to train in the dungeon day and night, Liam as well was pretty much doing the sa thing as he arrived at the second dungeon that had been updated.
He had first gone to the earlier dungeon, where he had already cleared a few floors, but to his surprise, he was not able to enter the thing, and a system notification popped out about the weekly reset.
From the looks of it, the updated dungeon could only be attempted once a week, no matter how floors were cleared.
This was a bit inconvenient, but luckily Liam had the luxury of another dungeon to lean on in the anti.
By the ti he was done clearing the mobs of the second dungeon, the tir from the first one would easily run out, and he would be able to go there again.
The plan was solid. The only problem was the vampires that had recently cropped up. If they chose a ti he was inside the dungeon to attack the base, then the result would be disastrous.
At the sa ti, Liam couldn't afford to sit and wait for sothing to happen simply. Otherwise, the impending second wave of apocalypse would crush them all.
So it was either the rock or the hard place. But then, there was another option, and Liam was staring at her currently.
The little fox did not look happy as Liam coaxed her to return to the base and stand guard. Since their ntal connection was strong enough, he would be able to keep an eye on everything while at the sa ti continuing to train.
After taking care of that, Liam then finally stepped into the second dungeon. Unlike the first one, this dungeon did not have any intimidating towering creatures that were almost twice his size.
Instead, it had small cute creatures. Well, cute but deadly.
Liam's face twitched as he stared at the group of slis rushing towards him at full speed. Each of them looked a shade of green and purple, clearly containing sothing extrely toxic within them.
If he was not careful, he could die even if he managed to kill these little things.
But this was only a problem for others. Not for him. He had special tanks just for this purpose.
Liam did not waste any ti as he summoned his army of soul minions, at least those who were above Level 40.
These slis might not look like it, but they were still level 50. So he did not underestimate them and called forth only the big shots.
The wyverns naturally stepped out first and started stomping down on the little things, snorting in annoyance.
Almost imdiately, the little slis burst open like bubbles, and at the sa ti, Liam instinctively erected a mana barrier around him.
The little shits spewed out both gaseous and liquid things that filled the entire space with a poisonous haze. It hung in the air like a heavy cloud, lethal and deathly.
Moreover, they did not even die from the impact. The little blobs clumped together to form a few bigger slis that once again ca at the undead, shooting out bullets of poisonous substances.
This was definitely going to be a drag. Liam did not like the dungeon very much. At least with the orcs, he was able to run through the space efficiently with a lot of speed, but these little things were ti-consuming.
At this rate, it was probably going to take an entire day just to deal with this floor, even though all the slis on the floor were simply around level 50.
Liam remained patient for the first three mobs while the wyverns tried various combinations of elental attacks to see what the slis were weak against.
They tried first freezing them and then zapping them with electricity, frying them directly with fire and even just trapping them under earthen barriers, but nothing was working.
Their corrosive ability was top-notch as they slipped right through whatever attack was being piled on. The slis had an insane magic resistance.
The only way to kill them seed to be physically exhausting them through repeated cycles of breaking them down as they combined together like jelly goo. In other words, it was a slow and painful process.
After the fifth mob, Liam even started contemplating quitting the dungeon run. The ti spent versus the experience points gained was really not worth it.
However, he also did not have the heart to give up on the dungeon just like that because then he would have nothing else to do.
"How is it coming along, Dimitri?" Liam asked the dark elf, whom he was hoping was his way out of this ss. Unfortunately, that also proved to be useless as the dark elf couldn't identify or analyze the material of these slis.
In the end, Liam had to go through the awfully long grind until they arrived at the end of the cavern network, where sothing extrely hideous stared at him.
This particular sli was huge and tall and had a skull resembling an old woman hanging at the front. It also had a prefix in front of its na, suggesting that this was probably the boss of the dungeon.
Liam's eyes widened before he prepared to jump into the fight and withdrew his black dragon sword. Unlike the other dungeon, this one interestingly had a floor boss.
"So the architecture of each dungeon is different?" Liam took a deep breath and erected a mana barrier around himself before taking a step forward.
"Let's start."
BOOM!
The wyverns instantly started the onslaught with a variety of elental attacks. The sli mother roared as she started spewing out corrosive acids that made the air tingle whilst casually ignoring the elental attacks.
Once again, the magic resistance was off the charts. However, the corrosive acids were also completely useless against the soul minions as they did not possess a fleshy body, to begin with.
The two sides' strong points negated each other. However, they also had their weak points. While wyverns were sowhat weak against both magic and physical attacks, the sli mother couldn't do either of those.
So from the get go the soul minions surrounded the sli mother and started cutting down the huge blob of goo.
"Maybe I overestimated this boss?" Liam quietly watched the fight.
However, as the boss's health dropped down to the last 30%, he had to swallow this thought. The sli mother materialized so sort of acidic poisonous globules, which then evaporated to beco sizzling lethal blades.
These blades started flying left and right in the cavern, making it very difficult for both soul minions and Liam to evade the attack.
Moreover, the poisonous vapours in the space obscured the vision, hiding them partially. These blades also did so amount of physical damage.
"So you are finally starting to fight back, huh?" Liam grinned. He moved from his spot and slashed down at the sli mother with the black dragon sword.
The soul sword cut through the jelly-like sli, cutting down a big chunk of the health.
The boss beca enraged and started sending out more acidic and poisonous wind blades, but Liam churned his mana core to maintain his agility at the peak condition whilst also maintaining the mana barrier.
He slashed at the boss again and again and again, bringing down the health by 5% every single ti. In the end, he drained every last bit of health of the sli mother as the huge thing wailed before exploding.
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
Putrid, greenish-purple poisonous jelly goop rained everywhere, but weirdly enough, there was no notification of experience points.
Liam imdiately had a bad feeling. This fight was still not over!
The next second, the boss that burst out once again appeared in front of him. However, this ti she was in the form of a sli army.
Each thing that fell apart after the explosion beca an individual sli monster. Each of them was nauseatingly resilient as they ca at him from all directions.
If his soul army was intimidating, this army of disgusting slis wasn't any less. More importantly, it was clear that each of them was going to keep splitting again and again until they eventually died down completely.
"Motherfcker!" Liam couldn't help but curse out loud.
This was going to be a long fight. He also did not hold back and summoned a bigger group of soul minions, and the two armies went up against each other fearlessly.
Liam as well zig-zagged around the cavern, taking care of everything that ca in his path.
The slis were never-ending, and the fight lasted for about three hours straight. It was a long and boring grind, and the experience points were not nearly as rewarding.
The only plus point was the fact that when Liam arrived at the next floor of the dungeon, he was staring at so sort of tree or a plant. There were no more slis on the next floor!
