The boar-headed man was slightly stunned, clearly never having seen such an exaggerated attack.
He tried to block with the club in his hand, but unfortunately, it was directly cut in half along with the greatsword.
With one sword strike, the boar-headed man was cut into two halves.
Bright red blood splattered everywhere, and internal organs and intestines spilled onto the ground.
Even the magic stone inside its body was cut in half.
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, showing its sharpness.
"Leader, your fighting style is becoming more and more like Gilgamesh's," Merlin also teased when he saw this.
"It does look like it, but it's still a bit lacking," Morgan also echoed.
Lin Che was unhappy when he heard this. What did she mean by 'still a bit lacking'?
"That's not right. Although my ""Unlimited Blade Works"" is not as good as Gilgamesh's ""Gate of Babylon"" right now, it has infinite room for growth. This is something that ""Gate of Babylon"" cannot compare to!" Lin Che immediately retorted.
In Emiya Shirou's hands, ""Unlimited Blade Works"" is definitely not as good as ""Gate of Babylon"". Even if Emiya Shirou copied all the weapons and Noble Phantasms in the Type-Moon World, it would only barely reach the level of ""Gate of Babylon"".
But Lin Che is different. He has the Chat Group and can go to the worlds of the group members to copy more weapons!
This way, the upper limit of ""Unlimited Blade Works"" becomes infinite.
And the most crucial point is that Lin Che can learn God Forging Technique from Gods, so it's not impossible for ""Unlimited Blade Works"" to copy God-forged weapons in the future.
Comparing them, it can be seen that ""Unlimited Blade Works"" is not as good as ""Gate of Babylon"" now, but it has great room for growth and will definitely surpass ""Gate of Babylon"" in the future!
In contrast, although ""Gate of Babylon"" is very strong now, its upper limit is locked.
"The Leader is right, but to make ""Unlimited Blade Works"" surpass ""Gate of Babylon"", the number of weapons that need to be copied is very large!" Merlin still agreed with Lin Che's words.
"The number is indeed large, after all, there is an entire Type-Moon World's Noble Phantasms inside ""Gate of Babylon""! But I have plenty of time, and one day I will surpass it!" Lin Che said with great confidence.
"I'll be waiting to see that day arrive," Morgan said with a smile.
Next, the four of them continued to kill boar monsters on the tenth floor while looking for the entrance to the next floor.
The fog obstructed their vision, but Morgan had her fairy eyes and could see through the fog.
In over ten minutes, Morgan found the entrance based on the map.
Everyone looked happy and directly entered the eleventh floor.
As they went deeper, the strength of the monsters also increased.
When everyone reached the thirteenth floor, the strength of the monsters had significantly increased.
From this floor up to the twenty-fourth floor, it was called the 'First Dead Line' by adventurers.
Except for the Floor Boss on the seventeenth floor, the monsters on the other floors were all Lv2.
Not only did the strength of the mid-level monsters increase, but their numbers and refresh speed also increased, and some monsters could use ranged attacks similar to magic.
For example, Hellhounds, dog-sized like calves, also known as Arsonist monsters, could spray flames from their mouths to attack.
Therefore, entering the thirteenth floor required fireproof cloth woven by fairies.
However, with the strength of Lin Che and the others, as well as the various defensive and water-based magic they possessed, they didn't need such things at all.
Artoria also took out her Holy Sword and began to fight, and Morgan continuously released magic to clear out the clustered, piled-up monsters.
Merlin was relatively simple; he stood behind the three of them and cast various buffs on them!
Lin Che no longer used ""Unlimited Blade Works"" for long-range attacks but projected various weapons and used these monsters to practice his Perfect Martial Arts.
No, it should be called Crested Martial Art now!
In the Type-Moon World, Luo Hao taught him how to fight against people, which was the PVP mode.
But that set of skills was obviously not suitable for dealing with monsters!
Monsters have no thoughts; they all fight based on instinct, and their attacks have no pattern.
So Lin Che had to figure out a set of techniques for fighting monsters, which was the PVE mode.
Most adventurers in Orario were proficient in PVE, but not very skilled in PVP.
This was because they fought monsters all year round.
When fighting against people, Lin Che liked to use swords.
But when fighting against monsters, Lin Che preferred to use long weapons like spears and staffs.
He projected a long spear and fought and killed monsters simply based on feeling, without using any martial arts.
In this battle, he infinitely magnified his instincts.
At this moment, he was like the ""Ultra Instinct"" in ""Dragon Ball"".
Forgetting all moves, it was purely a struggle for survival!
Of course, Lin Che did not truly reach the exaggerated realm of ""Ultra Instinct"". He was just exploring a new combat mode.
And in this exploration, he seemed to have discovered the path to the Divine Realm.
"Martial arts reaching divinity, Divine Realm level martial arts, so that's how it is!" Lin Che had understood.
The so-called martial arts reaching divinity was the realm of 'no sword is better than a sword, no move is better than a move' in Jin Yong's novels.
Integrating all moves into one, every gesture and action was a move!
The path had appeared, and now it was time to walk it until martial arts reached divinity!
At this moment, Lin Che only felt his mind clear, and many problems in martial arts suddenly became clear.
He laughed excitedly, and the battle with the monsters became smoother and smoother.
"It seems the Leader has found his path!" Merlin also smiled.
He was becoming more and more impressed with his Master.
That terrifying talent was even more outstanding than Arthur, whom she had taught!
Since that was the case, let's see how far Master could grow!
Merlin subtly used the skill ""Hero Creation"" on Lin Che to accelerate his growth!
The battle continued non-stop. When the monsters on one floor were killed, they continued to the next floor.
The thirteenth floor!
The fourteenth floor!
The fifteenth floor!
They continued until the seventeenth floor, which was the floor where the Floor Boss was located.
Only then did Lin Che stop advancing.
"Why did you suddenly stop?" Merlin asked.
"This floor is different. There's a Floor Boss here. Its strength should be around Lv4. Be careful!" Lin Che said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
After fighting all this way, even his strengthened body, cleansed by holy fire, felt tired.
"What is a Floor Boss?" Artoria asked, puzzled.
"The Labyrinth's Lone King. It's a special monster, a term for monsters that has existed since ancient times. There is only one, and it only operates alone on the floor where it is born, also called a 'Floor Boss'. Floor Bosses usually have strength about 2 levels higher than other monsters on the same floor, and their regeneration cycle is not fixed. Although the criteria for judging strength are the same as adventurers, Floor Bosses often possess massive bodies, powerful special abilities, and armaments. Their danger level is even higher than adventurers of the same level, and they often require multiple people to conquer!" Lin Che explained the information he knew.
After listening, Merlin frowned slightly and said, "It seems it is indeed very dangerous. We need to be careful!"
Morgan, however, said with a look of disdain, "No matter how strong it is, it's just a mere Lv4. Just blast it with a Noble Phantasm."
Lin Che immediately stopped her, saying, "We can't use Noble Phantasms. The Underground City has a self-repair mechanism after being damaged, and during that time, it stops producing monsters. If a floor is severely damaged, the Underground City will generate an 'abnormal situation', spawning a special monster called 'Zagnate' to kill the destroyer!"
"Is that monster called Zagnate very strong?" Artoria asked curiously.
"Yes, terrifyingly strong. It should have strength above Level 6 and below Level 7. However, its strength isn't just its level, but its claws that can easily destroy adventurers' hard armaments and tear apart their bodies, its special armor that reflects Magic, its ultra-high-speed mobility, and its 'Perception Network' which can quickly detect surviving adventurers on the same floor and eliminate them as fast as possible! Its body has a special structure with magic stones throughout due to its specialized killing abilities. To kill it, you need to completely destroy its entire body!" Lin Che described Zagnate's abilities.
After hearing this, not only Artoria fell silent, but even Morgan stopped being stubborn.
"Restricting Noble Phantasms and fighting purely with martial arts is very unfriendly to a Magic like me!" Merlin couldn't help but complain.
"Just use some Magic that doesn't break the rules in terms of power, or try to hit the monster with Magic as much as possible," Lin Che said with a smile, comforting her.
The Dungeon World also has Magic users; you can't possibly prevent Magic users from fighting!
For example, Rivilia, the Nine-Magic Princess of the Loki Familia, her Magic power is comparable to a Noble Phantasm.
But as long as she controls it well and lands all the Magic on the monster without damaging the Underground City, it's fine.
Merlin and Morgan nodded, indicating they understood.
As for Artoria, as the Sword Knight among the Seven Servants, her fighting style is already inclined towards close combat, so it naturally doesn't matter.
"Then let's rest and recover. After we're ready, we'll go and kill the Floor Boss on this floor!" Lin Che said, taking out food and water from the space within """Unlimited Blade Works""".
Artoria's eyes lit up when she saw the food.
After fighting for so long, she was also hungry.
Lin Che gave all the food to Artoria and only drank a few sips of water himself.
