At this moment.
The Minotaur wielding a greatsword, and the young man flashing with the cold light of an adventurer.
The two did not give way to each other, constantly entangled.
The sound of intense sword dancing echoed throughout the air!
The clash of sword against sword, each time erupting with an incomparable sound.
That was a powerful, booming sound that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.
And it was in the midst of this battle that the Loki Familia finally arrived on the scene!
They witnessed the scene before them!
"This is..."
Ais's eyes widened immediately.
"Ling Xuan?"
Werewolf Bert also shifted his attention to the arena.
"That figure... if I remember correctly, he was the one who defeated the Minotaur before. I didn't expect him to be entangled with a Minotaur here again. Does this guy have some kind of fated conflict with Minotaurs?"
Tiona also spoke with curiosity.
"Is this the guy who made our famous Sword Princess小姐's heart flutter? But he could defeat the Minotaur before, so it's not surprising this time either."
Riveria took over the conversation.
"That's not necessarily true... This Minotaur is clearly not on the same level as the one we encountered last time."
Ais also nodded.
"This looks like a reinforced version of the Minotaur, but it shouldn't be much of a problem. With Ling Xuan's strength, he should be able to easily deal with that Minotaur."
...
Meanwhile, when Ryu noticed someone approaching, a wary expression immediately appeared on her face.
However, upon seeing that it was the Loki Familia, Ryu said no more.
I don't know why, but when I saw Ais arrive here, her gaze remained fixed on Ling Xuan.
For some reason, a hint of jealousy also welled up in the heart of this elven girl.
However, shaking her head and calming her emotions, she refocused her attention on the battle before her.
Ais also noticed Ryu.
"Is that person the companion Ling Xuan mentioned?"
.....
Back to the battlefield!
The battle between Ling Xuan and the Minotaur continued.
The two constantly swung the blades in their hands, colliding with each other.
In these clashes, Ling Xuan did not retreat a single step.
Instead, it was the Minotaur who was pushed back by the shockwaves at such close range.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was incredibly shocked.
As those present, they naturally understood the characteristics of the Minotaur.
The Minotaur's brute strength was extremely threatening.
If attacked from the front, one would inevitably suffer a fatal injury.
Even a graze would half-destroy the body.
A blow with enhanced destructive power could take down an enemy in one hit.
However, this terrifying Minotaur, in a head-on confrontation with Ling Xuan, was not gaining any advantage whatsoever!
This was simply too absurd.
"This isn't just a difference in strength; if you look closely, you can see that the young man used technique at the moment of each collision to neutralize the Minotaur's attacks."
Finn said, narrowing his eyes.
"It's truly incredible. Not to mention the ice that's like magic, even his swordsmanship is first-rate."
"I see, so he's not just using abilities, but also techniques?"
Werewolf Bert then suddenly understood.
And that was indeed the case.
Although Ling Xuan's stats had all reached their maximum, he was still only an LV1 adventurer, while the Minotaur was an LV2 monster.
Moreover, it was a Minotaur that excelled in strength and had been reinforced.
In terms of stats, it had an advantage over him. If he dared to go head-to-head without any technique, he would probably have been crushed into pieces immediately.
In clash after clash, Ling Xuan used technique and his agility to constantly suppress the Minotaur.
However, despite this, he still couldn't break through its defense.
After all, the adventurer's longsword in his hand was still too weak.
That massive muscle wasn't just for show.
Bundles of muscle were not only extremely tough but also layered several times, giving the opponent the feeling of cutting through thick rubber.
Combined with its durable hide, which could become a high-grade drop item, the Minotaur's defense formed a structure that incomplete attacks could not breach.
So, facing such an impenetrable existence, after letting out a sigh, Ling Xuan also unethically pulled out Heavenly Fire - Saint's Judgment!
Between the LV2 Minotaur and the LV1 Ling Xuan, there was originally an unbridgeable gap in ability.
But who said it had to be close combat?!
Sir, times have changed!
As Ling Xuan pulled the trigger in his hand, the next second, terrifying flames immediately engulfed the Minotaur...
At the same moment that Ling Xuan and the Minotaur were engaged in a fierce battle.
Freyja in the Babel Tower was also no longer calm.
With a bang, she knocked over the surrounding chairs.
In front of the circular window floating in mid-air, Freyja stood there, her silver eyes wide with astonishment.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief and delight.
"...No way, really?"
Undoubtedly, the performance of Ling Xuan and the Minotaur in battle was fully reflected in her eyes.
As for why she could see the Dungeon battle from the Babel Tower?
That was naturally because of her divine power.
This was a divine power that was also allowed to be used in the lower world. It was called "Divine Mirror".
Originally used to peek into the lower world from the heavenly realm, a one-way ability similar to clairvoyance, but in order for the gods to enjoy the entertainment activities held in the lower world, this ability was recognized as the sole exception.
However, unauthorized use for activities other than viewing was strictly prohibited.
Once discovered, they would immediately be forcibly returned to the heavenly realm.
Furthermore, each channel mode of the "Divine Mirror" would emit a specific wavelength, which all nearby gods would definitely detect.
No god would do such a foolish act and court disaster.
However, Freyja still did such a thing.
Taking the risk, she found a loophole.
And all this was just to witness this battle with her own eyes.
"...Ahhh!"
The scene seen through the "mirror" floating before her eyes turned Freyja's expression from astonishment to joy and rapture.
"Hehe, hehehehe...! Did you see it, Ottar? This beautiful sight...!"
In the eyes of this goddess,
Ling Xuan was shining.
To be precise!
Ling Xuan's soul was emitting an unparalleled brilliance.
Constantly scorching Freyja's eyes.
Emitting such a strong light, yet the color remained clear and transparent.
She really wanted to obtain Ling Xuan more and more!
