Danmachi: Gacha Draw

The Blade Ryukenwaka in his hand trembled slightly, and a bright red light flashed in Link's eyes. 

"Screech!!!" 

Obviously, there was no order, but the monsters launched an attack in unison at this moment! 

"Wind Barrier!" 

Link raised his hand to build a wind wall toward the area with the most flying insects.

Olga and the other Crisp Mages provided protection against long-range attacks.

At the same time, countless monsters had taken this opportunity to swarm in front of Link, and he blocked them with his sword. 

"Screech!" 

The bloodthirsty beetle that touched the blade spontaneously ignited without fire and exploded into ashes on the spot. 

The other monsters collided with each other, while the lizardman, who knew how to use weapons, also jabbed at Link with a spear. 

Link jumped on the spot and swung the Blade toward the distance beneath his feet.

Hot flames roared from the sword, and all the monsters engulfed by the flames exploded into ashes. 

Link did not use his full strength to eliminate these monsters.

On the contrary, he kept their numbers within an appropriate range, allowing Olga, Asagi, Alise, and Kaguya to train. 

Indeed, the group killed one creature after another. If they grew tired, they could still take a moment to breathe in between, and their lives would never be at risk. 

Under Link's care, the deadly monster feast had now become a team dungeon that everyone utilized to gain experience, much to the enjoyment of many girls. 

Such training opportunities are rarely encountered. 

As if sensing Link's intention, the number of newly spawned monsters began to decrease. Just as the girls were about to clear out the remaining monsters and enjoy a well-deserved rest, a huge green monster suddenly appeared atop the roof! 

Everyone thought it would land, but instead, it soared into the sky, its wide wings casting a massive shadow! 

This is a flying dragon measuring 6 meters in length and with a wingspan of nearly 10 meters! 

"Be careful! It's a green dragon! A powerful monster with peak strength at level 4!"

Kaguya narrowed her eyes with a serious expression.

Such a monster, if not careful, could cause irreparable losses to their team!

The green dragon flapped its wings and flew toward the crowd.

It unleashed a pillar of wind straight at Link, who stood in front of the team, and within that pillar of wind, several sharp wind blades spun and danced, both deadly and disorienting.

Link wanted to jump up and avoid them, but he thought of Alise and the others behind him…

He snorted coldly and built a wall of wind at the critical moment, barely managing to block the pillar of wind.

Immediately afterward, taking advantage of this opening, Link launched several slashes at the green dragon as he rapidly approached.

The green dragon roared repeatedly and unleashed another pillar of wind, but Link easily dodged it. Seeing Link draw nearer, the dragon finally couldn't help but descend and used its sharp claws to attack Link.

However, Link sneered and charged straight into its embrace, swinging his sharp blade and roaring with blazing flames...

"If you keep soaring through the sky, I really won't have much else to do!"

The raging flames instantly engulfed the green dragon.

After the green dragon was defeated, the dungeon ceased sending reinforcements.

If there were a consciousness in the dungeon, it would surely weep.

What a mismatch: 1000 against 20.

"Shit! Link, are you really LV.3?"

"It's fake! That's a green dragon at the top of LV.4! Did you kill it in one blow?"

"Was that fire magic just now?"

The girls could no longer contain themselves and began chatting around Link.

He is strong, handsome, and gentle, with values of justice recognized even by his gods.

Such an exceptional man is incredibly attractive to the girls.

"Well, let's first take the time to collect the magic stones and dropped items. The pressure will increase as we go deeper into the floors. Let's rest and prepare ourselves,"

Link said to the girls with a rather heroic smile.

Floor 25.

This is a valley or cliff composed of crystalline peaks. The Giant Cang Waterfall is located in the center of the floor and constantly emits roaring sounds.

Along with the water splashing from the waterfall, the half-human, half-bird creature known as the "Mermaid" keeps flying in the air, uttering loud cries.

The water flow of the Jucang Waterfall is emerald sapphire blue, with a width of at least 400 meters and a height of more than 800 meters.

Below the waterfall is a massive pool, resembling a staircase.

There are additional waterfalls extending downward from the waterfall pool, ranging from the 25th floor to the 27th floor.

This three-story hollow, expansive space connected by a series of waterfalls is called "The Mysterious Water City."

Adventurers must ascend and descend the elevations resembling the height of the "Giant Cang Waterfall."

Due to the difficult terrain, the monsters here can only barely cope with level 2 skills, although they are classified as "inferior."

Link looked around. The cliff where he and the others stood was at the southern end of the 25th floor, and the passage to the 26th floor was located in the southeast direction of the floor.

However, since the Giant Cang Waterfall and the immense cave are precisely in the center of the floor, they can only be accessed by walking clockwise from south to southeast.

The path is a three-meter-wide cliff trail beside the wall of the "Great Hollow."

There is no safeguard.

If they lose their balance, they can only pray to the God of Death, who was drunk last night and still awake today.

As Link led the girls along the cliff path, he remained alert to attacks from airborne, bird-shaped monsters.

As a result, before the monster in the sky reached the door, a group of metal crabs appeared on the other side. The monster's shell has strong defensive capabilities, and one of its pincers is extremely developed and can easily split a human body in two.

However, because the gaps between the shells are too large, its movement speed is slow, and its weaknesses are too obvious; even ordinary Level 2 adventurers can easily kill them as long as they are careful. 

Then, Link successively killed several strange fish and water snakes that came to the door, and he began to feel a little bored.

These monsters are too weak for him. As aquatic creatures, most of their main battlefields are in the water, and they don't have much combat power left after landing on land. Perhaps it's easier to improve by fighting them in the water. 

"Do whatever you want." After taking off his shirt, Link said to the people behind him, "I'll try exercising underwater. Wait for me above." 

"Huh?" Go underwater and fight those water monsters? Before the girls could react, Link jumped straight into the water. 

Piranha, Giant Water Snake, Giant Crystal Turtle…

Link's action of entering the water successfully triggered the dungeon, and waves of monsters appeared. Water monsters can exert overwhelming potential abilities in the water. Adventurers who focus on land combat are the complete opposite, and their mobility is greatly reduced. 

Link must fight against the current to avoid being swept into the "Giant Cang Falls," and at the same time, he must overcome his disadvantages and fight against the monsters that attack from the bottom of the water. In this fight, the [Hunter] skill began to play a very important role, and Link's status began to rise.
