Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Chapter 167: Somewhat Disappointing!

Upon entering the dungeon again, Lin Yu followed his previous habit and quickly advanced along the secluded route until the 25th floor, when he slowed down to search for the floor master, Anfispina.

After spending several hours carefully searching all the floors, Lin Yu still couldn't find any trace of the floor owner, which made him wonder if the floor owner had already been killed.

Under normal circumstances, if a floor master of this level were killed, the news should spread throughout Orario very quickly. Lin Yu had not heard any such news before he arrived, so it was probably just that the floor master was well hidden. After all, there are many water systems and lakes on these floors, and it would be really hard to find if the floor master was hiding underwater.

[Looks like I'll have to put more effort into sensing magic from now on.]

Lin Yu's perception magic was already quite advanced, but it was more effective against moving life forms. If the opponent was motionless and in a complex environment, it would be difficult to detect them.

Therefore, perception magic needs to be upgraded, and the direction should be like the "magic perception" in the world of Frillian. Targeting the opponent's energy, as long as it is within the perception range, no matter how well you hide, you cannot escape perception.

As for now, Lin Yu didn't have any good ideas. He couldn't just bombard various places with magic to scare out the floor owner, could he? Although this method was feasible, it was easy to harm innocent people, so naturally he couldn't do it.

So Lin Yu continued onward, deciding to search diligently upon his return.

If all else fails, we'll have to issue a bounty to the guild. A monster like the floor owner won't hide underwater forever.

Leaving the lower level, Lin Yu continued forward, arriving at the deeper level.

The monsters in the deeper levels are mostly Iv4 or higher, with occasional Iv5 monsters appearing. They also spawn at a very high frequency, appearing in large numbers. If Lin Yu had just arrived in the DanMachi world, it would have been quite difficult for him to farm them. However, now that Lin Yu's strength has greatly improved, it is still quite easy for him.

"It's about time to test the effects of the 'Hymn of Courage' skill."

The newly added skill "Hymn of Courage" in the last upgrade has the effect of increasing all attributes when fighting against opponents stronger than oneself. The greater the difference in strength, the greater the attribute increase. Lin Yu speculates that "strength" should refer to the basic attributes, but he will need to try it out to find out which one it is.

Lin Yu is currently in the deeper levels, where the monsters are all level 4 to level 5. They are stronger than Lin Yu in all attributes except for magic power, so it's a good time to test them out.

A Hymn to Courage!

As soon as a group of monsters spawned, Lin Yu immediately activated the skill.

[So it really is based on the highest attribute?]

After activating the skill, Lin Yu did not feel any increase in his attributes, indicating that his strength was based on magic power. Although this was expected, Lin Yu was still somewhat disappointed.

Since it's based on magic power, this skill is generally useless. Lin Yu's magic power is extremely high, so it's likely only effective against powerful enemies like the Lord of the Deep Floor.

It's not fair to say this skill is useless, after all, it's a skill that can turn the tide when facing a powerful enemy, but Lin Yu still wants a regular amplification skill like the Gene Lock, preferably a pure attribute amplification skill.

Gene locks are more about controlling power and unleashing greater combat strength, rather than increasing more attributes.

Oh well, there will be other opportunities later. Skills or magic that enhance basic attributes are quite common in the DanMachi world, so they shouldn't be hard to obtain. For now, let's just keep grinding.

Lin Yu continued grinding monsters in the deeper levels, day after day. A week passed in the blink of an eye. The long hours of intense grinding took their toll, and even Lin Yu felt fatigued, mainly mentally. So Lin Yu decided to return and rest for a few days.

However, instead of returning to the ground, they headed to the safe floor on the 28th floor.

The mission to defeat Amphispina should be completed as soon as possible, so Lin Yu decided to wait and wait for the enemy to come to him, even if it took a little longer.

Ultimately, as a dungeon monster, Amphispina's mission is to eliminate adventurers. It's impossible for it to sleep underwater every day. As long as you keep watch on the 28th floor, news of Amphispina's appearance will always come.

Sure enough, news came within two days.

A group of fairly strong adventurers encountered Amphispina on the 27th floor by chance, so they immediately fled to the 28th floor.

The text warns adventurers resting on the 28th floor not to proceed to the 27th floor.

"Damn it, there's no team here that can deal with that guy!"

Some adventurers voiced their discontent.

If we're talking about the floor master that adventurers hate the most, it's undoubtedly Amphispina.

The other floor bosses are in fixed rooms, and you won't encounter them unless you challenge them. However, Amphispina has a huge range of activity and is a danger that every mid-to-high-level adventurer must face. Countless adventure teams have died at the hands of this monster because of bad luck in encountering Amphispina.

Because this monster roams a large area, high-level adventurers cannot spend a lot of time searching for it. Therefore, every time Amphispina is resurrected, adventurers are very careful when passing through floors 25 to 27, for fear of encountering it.

Almost every time Amphispina is resurrected, adventurers are sacrificed. Usually, the surviving adventurers come to the 28th floor and inform the high-level adventurer team to go and defeat Amphispina.

But this time, whether it was good luck or bad luck, none of the squad that encountered Amphispina were killed, but there just happened to be no squad on the 28th floor that could deal with Amphispina.

As a safe floor below, the 28th floor is often frequented by powerful adventurer teams. However, there are very few teams capable of defeating Amphispina. So sometimes, you might encounter a situation where there is news of Amphispina, but no team is strong enough to defeat it.

That's why the adventurers present looked dejected and resentful. As time went on, Amphispina would definitely leave, and when they received the news again, some adventurers would probably be killed, or even themselves. Anyone in this situation would feel resentful!

Where is Amphispina?

Just as everyone was discussing what to do, a strangely dressed person wearing a smiling mask suddenly appeared and questioned the captain of the team that had escaped death.

"Who are you?"

The squad leader asked cautiously.

His strange attire and mask to conceal his identity clearly indicated that he was no ordinary adventurer.

If you encounter an adventurer wearing a mask in the dungeon, be careful, because he may have ill intentions towards you and want to attack you, but he is afraid of failing and letting you escape, so he wears a mask to hide his identity.

If it weren't for the large number of adventurers here, the team leader would definitely have turned around and left, staying far away from people who were hiding their identities.

Even though they didn't leave, the squad leader remained wary and dared not let his guard down.
