Olivia peeked towards Louis.

Louis shook his head.

"Go, take it head-on."

Seizing the moment while Chris and his brothers' effects were still active, the group charged straight into the depths of the darkness.

"Limuru, are you ready?"

"Limu~ Limu~"

A half-human-tall block of iron was directly pulled out of Limuru's dimensional bag.

On its body, black flames were fiercely burning, melting the massive iron block like a candle.

With Limuru's surging magic power, the ground in front was coated with a layer of molten iron.

The coating was very thin, radiating a metallic chill, but looked just like a puddle of water.

Limuru activated the skill Metal Shaping.

Silvia shouted, "Louis, what are you doing again?"

The feeling of running on liquid metal felt strange to her.

Perhaps standing on liquid made her nervous, Olivia even forgot to call him Caesar.

Luckily, the dark space had no one else around them.

Well, there were a few non-human things.

As they advanced, the heavy footsteps in the darkness grew louder, accompanied by the frantic flapping of wings.

What appeared before Louis and his team was a group of creatures with lead-grey skin flapping their wings.

At first glance, he thought they were demons.

William reminded, "These are Stone Golems."

Stone Golems, challenge level 5, are puppet constructs from the pre-magic civilization.

Alice twirled her blade, and two intersecting slashes tore through the air, instantly severing the wings of two Stone Golems.

"Let's do this!"

Without a second thought, she was the first to charge in.

Olivia, standing on tiptoe, maximized the illumination spell, finally revealing the true culprits chasing the Stone Golems from behind.

Five massive beasts were rampaging through the underground structure.

Louis focused his gaze.

They were colossal creatures over 7 meters long, with robust bodies and dark brown scales on their backs that appeared thick and sturdy, glinting with a faint metallic sheen under the green light.

Their eyes bulged like brass bells, jaws agape, revealing rows of sharp teeth, ready to devour.

"Is that... the Red Land Dragon Lizard?"

Chris was in disbelief; the Red Land Dragon Lizard, challenge level LV10, was one of the previous generation's underground city monsters; this creature shouldn't be here:

"Wasn't this thing extinct already?"

"Better start attacking now, whether extinct or not, they clearly consider us their meal."

Before Alice could finish her sentence, Louis took action first.

"Limuru, the Guillotine!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, under the control of magic power, a row of guillotine-shaped metal objects rose from the ground.

With the completion of liquid metal shaping, massive guillotines screeched as they solidified, driven down hard by Limuru.

A shrill wail resounded as a Red Land Dragon Lizard unable to control its speed was deeply embedded with the side blade in its body.

Blood splattered like boiling lava, and under Limuru's continuous infusion of magic power, the rows of guillotines kept exerting force, aiming to slice the fastest dragon lizard in half.

Just then, Louis acted.

He crossed his blades, conjuring a magic array, causing the liquid metal on the ground to boil as if it were mercury.

It was exactly the same skill as Limuru's, Metal Shaping.

Accompanied by a screeching sound similar to claws on a chalkboard, dense metal spikes formed under the Red Land Dragon Lizard.

The dragons trampled over it, rampaging like they were in an uninhabited place.

"Huh?"

Alice noticed something odd, her eyes narrowing slyly into a fox-like grin:

"Did you poison them?"

Louis calmly said, "When dealing with dungeon creatures, there's no need for chivalry. Paralysis, illusions, aphrodisiacs, use them all."

"Also, don't go licking the liquid metal out of boredom, it's poisonous."

Saying this, he instinctively looked at Silvia.

Then a second later, he averts his gaze.

Olivia jumped up, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I wasn't looking at you."

—Louis could never admit that, at that moment, he thought the most likely person to try something out of boredom was Silvia.

After all, Silvia's nature was very much like a Southerner running to the Northeast to eat snow in winter; she might also defiantly stick out her tongue to lick the iron rods.

It was very Silvia.

Silvia pouted unhappily and flung a fireball the size of a truck head.

The glowing green flame twisted and devoured the surrounding air, finally becoming a roaring explosion.

For an instant, the pillars, floors, and ceilings of the entire ruin flashed with runes, significantly reducing the scorching impact.

"Hmph hmph, I'm an LV7 mage; I'm very strong."

"Ah yes, yes, yes," Louis said smiling gently.

In the whole team, the two of them were the lowest in level.

One was LV4, the other LV7.

Truly a world-class comedic duo.

Alice sneered, "You two really lightened our workload; I haven't had such relaxed hunting in ages."

Silvia seemed to realize something, "Was it those iron spikes earlier? The paralytic toxin made them hard to perceive their wounds? My gosh, you've really become sinister!"

"It's a necessary sacrifice for victory."

Louis said earnestly.

Even before this, Louis had thought about how he could participate in LV9 or even iconic-level battles.

He couldn't do it alone.

After all, he was just a little Camilla, rashly getting involved would mean death.

Relying solely on Limuru wasn't very effective either.

Limuru excelled at taking hits and destroying large-scale building complexes, but its own combat experience wasn't even as good as his.

But the skill [Metal Shaping] gave him the possibility of joining high-level battles.

Metal Shaping is somewhat similar to the alchemists' operations in "Fullmetal Alchemist."

—First decompose, then reshape.

Earlier, Louis had Limuru try it out.

Metal Shaping consumed a significant amount of magic power; Louis could only use it twice before running out of magic, which didn't suit continuous combat needs.

Limuru could last longer, but its beastly nature made it incapable of micro-manipulations.

Creating heavy guillotine-like objects was possible.

So Louis exploited a loophole.

Their magic power compatibility was identical, so he simply let Limuru handle the most magic-consuming part of decomposing metal.

He took charge of low-magic-consumption mid-range micro-manipulations.

Uncertain if the damage was sufficient, he began crazily adding poison to the metal.

Waiting for precisely such brutish creatures.

"This knife of mine is smeared with poison entirely (licks).jpg"

"Watch my move!"

Seeing the Red Land Dragon Lizards with legs full of iron spikes, as if they had stepped on nails but didn't realize, start to feel the pain.

Louis's tail extended from behind him, and with the emergence of a dense magic array, Limuru synchronized with Louis's actions.

Both a person and a pet activated the signature magic of slimes simultaneously.

[Ultra-Strong Acid Spray] ×2!

He laughed, "Their defenses are breached."

The Red Land Dragon Lizard's scales immediately showed large areas of corrosion after being drenched in acid.

He said, then controlled the liquid metal on the ground again to complete shape formation.

However, this time, he directly created sharp steel blades in the lizards' abdomen region.

The dragons immediately screamed, writhing on the ground in pain.

The most pitiful was the lizard that was restricted by Limuru's guillotine, losing its ability to hold the falling guillotine with its muscles, turning into a sliced lizard dish.

Louis's second wave of Metal Shaping was aiming for "cutting a slit with a small knife," the operation was dirty.

The dragons immediately writhed in pain.

Most pitiful was a male dragon lizard.

Don't forget, Louis even added an aphrodisiac.

This male dragon lizard, like a heavenly pillar, dragged along the ground.

—And then crashed straight into the small knives Louis had shaped.

Poof~

Biu~

A piece of flesh dropped to the ground, followed by a heart-rending wail.

After the Bronze Dragon King, another dragon lizard earned the [Uncocked] achievement.

Watching this scene made all the men present shiver.
