Hearing Lefiya's blessing, Adam nodded with satisfaction.
He hadn't saved this unfortunate elf in vain — she still cared about his safety. Though her blessing was barely audible through her shyness, only detectable with his super hearing, its sincerity moved him to grateful acceptance.
Rather than standing idly by, she ran to the disaster area to support other Adventurers. His opinion of her rose further. She recognized she would only hinder him here and chose instead to help where she could make a difference.
Hmm, a wise decision. As expected of soone raised in a major Familia who understands priorities.
Adam expressed his appreciation for Lefiya.
However, appreciation aside, more pressing matters demanded his attention. The giant plant-type monster before him posed a formidable challenge.
◈ Perception ◈
◈ Transparent World ◈
After honing these skills in the Dungeon over the past few days, Adam marveled at their overwhelming power when used together.
The 〔Perception〕 skill detected not only enemy positions but also the flow of magic within their bodies.〚Transparent World〛proved even more formidable, allowing him to analyze an enemy's internal structure.
Combined, these skills functioned like dical X-rays!
The monster had grown enormous, its supporting pillar widened multiple tis to bear its massive fra. The female upper body sprouting from its flower crown now towered five ters high.
If it were cuter, one might call it a Monster Girl. Unfortunately, it bore no facial features — save for a mouth.
Like the monster he'd encountered earlier on the street, it could sense magical flow to locate enemies despite lacking eyes. Its roots had multiplied beneath the surface, with tendrils — now marked by his skills — spreading across the entire 18th Floor.
This ant it could strike any Adventurer on the floor at will!
'What a troubleso opponent!' Every Adventurer present surely thought the sa.
Its massive size and dense network of tentacles made victory seem impossible.
But for Adam? This posed no problem!
Just as humans succumb to fatal wounds like decapitation or a pierced heart, this giant plant-type monster shared the sa weakness as all monsters.
The magic stone!
Every monster harbors such a stone within. No matter how powerful the beast, destroying its magic stone ans certain death, reducing it to dust.
While ordinary Adventurers couldn't even approach the creature, let alone locate its magic stone, Adam's x-ray vision had already pinpointed it — three inches above the chest of that female upper body.
"Now, enter the hero." He said confidently, "Well then, let finish this swiftly."
"ROAR—!"
The flower monster, fusion complete, swelled even larger, sprouting more tentacles.
Perhaps sensing the grave threat this tiny human posed, it unleashed a mighty roar. Several thick, powerful tentacles burst from the ground, smashing toward his position.
BOOM!
The powerful tentacles slamd into the earth with an explosive impact that shook the ground, shrouding the battlefield in clouds of dust.
"What's happening?"
"That monster is terrifying!"
"We're done for!"
"Ah, mama (woo woo wooooo)...!"
The Adventurers trembled at the sight of the monster's enormous size, their hearts sinking into despair. Even the thought of a hero appearing couldn't rekindle their fighting spirit.
"Tch! Adam..." From his elevated position, Finn surveyed the chaotic battlefield with frustration and concern.
Though ard with a spear, his specialty in magic ant he couldn't charge in to absorb damage like a heavy blade warrior.
From his distance, he couldn't hear Adam and Lefiya's exchange, but the elf girl's hasty departure told him enough. Adam must have ordered his Familia mber to safety while he faced the monster alone.
Yet sothing puzzled him. Despite the dire situation, his thumb wasn't aching — a fact he couldn't comprehend.
Could it be...
Before he could complete his thought, fierce winds dispersed the dust, revealing a figure in a pristine white cloak.
Adam stood unscathed — he had effortlessly dodged the tentacles with a simple backstep.
"Hmph, is that all?" His lips curled into a slight smirk.
This wasn't re arrogance — the giant monster truly was lacking. It couldn't move or use magic, relied solely on predictable tentacle strikes, and its massive size made it impossible to dodge.
In essence, it was nothing more than target practice.
Adam licked his lips, readying a finishing blow that would leave no room for counterattack or escape.
Imnse Mana gathered above him, forming a pillar of light whose pressure astonished every adventurer present.
◈ Divine Convergence Breathing, Slayer Mode ⫸ Demon Slayer Mark ◈
Solemn pale blue patterns erged on his face, spreading to his lower back and across his left side. Within these markings, phosphorescence flowed and flickered like a living entity.
For the first ti, Adam unleashed his full power in this world.
But that wasn't all!
Bzzt~
Bzzt—Bzzt—Bzzt~
Electricity humd with the gentleness of hummingbird wings. Ground debris trembled violently before rising into the air.
◈ Divine Convergence Breathing, Storm Spirit Form ⫸ Storm Guardian Flash ◈
This attack fused the Spirit Wind Guardian technique — which he had brazenly copied from Ais — with Thunderclap and Flash.
The skill enveloped his sword in wind, creating a spiral field that granted trendous penetrating power.
For maximum effectiveness, he chose this technique over〚One Blow, One Hundred Felled〛.
A dazzling pillar of lightning enshrouded him as he began to run, leaving trails of electric arcs suspended in the air.
Swoosh!
Lightning that had been crawling along the ground suddenly leaped skyward, drawing a brilliant electric arc across the heavens.
In an instant, Adam materialized behind the flower monster. Through the massive hole now piercing from its chest to abdon, one could see clear through to the scenery beyond.
The strike had happened faster than thought.
"ROAR—!!!"
For three heartbeats, the giant plant-type monster stood frozen. Then it unleashed a mighty roar — a final cry of defiance.
But its fate was sealed. Without its magic stone, no monster could survive. This was an absolute law.
BANG!
Monts later, it crumbled into dust, scattering across the 18th Floor.
Crisis resolved.
