If this magic could be widely used, wouldn't exploring the dungeon be much more convenient in the future?
If you wanted any material, you could just teleport to the floor above!
"This isn't magic; it's Godspeed, and the dungeon's barrier doesn't affect it."
As if seeing what Laios and the others were thinking, Gabriel offered a friendly reminder.
But at the same time, her gaze towards Rosen held a hint of sourness.
After all, she still couldn't perfectly use Godspeed every time, and seeing someone immediately master a skill drawn from the chat group made it impossible not to feel envious.
As for the fact that her abilities had deteriorated due to her addiction to games, Gabriel might not admit it.
Now, if she were to be deprived of her right to play games, it would probably be more painful than killing her.
Having arrived in the Red Dragon's activity range, the group looked at the stone city before them.
Buildings with pointed tops stood majestically.
Wide and narrow streets crisscrossed everywhere.
Although there was no sunlight within the dungeon, there were other luminous plants or light sources.
Therefore, even though the environment before them was somewhat dim, they could still generally make out the shape of this dungeon floor.
"It's hard to imagine that a city exists so deep underground."
Fubuki exclaimed.
Although compared to the city she lived in, this place was only about the size of a village or town, seeing such a sight underground was indeed a marvel.
"Because according to records in books, this is actually the city of Golden City.
The island outside was once the territory of the Golden Kingdom.
In the past, for unknown reasons, it sank into the sea and then resurfaced.
People discovered the dungeon and found the lost Golden City here."
Marcille explained.
"It is said that all the buildings in Golden City were once covered in gold on their outer walls, but after so many years, all the valuable things have long been stripped away.
The residents who once lived here also..."
At this point, Marcille suddenly remembered the ghosts of the deceased she had seen in the anime.
Because the dungeon has the ability to bind souls, it is difficult for the souls of the dead to simply dissipate; most of them wander the dungeon as ghosts.
Some retain their sanity, while others lose it and become harmful monsters.
Just then, Senshi, the Dwarf, suddenly lay on the ground, then his expression changed and he said, "Quick, hide! The dragon is approaching!"
Laios and the others didn't question why Senshi could know of the dragon's arrival just by putting his ear to the ground.
But they still vigilantly drew their weapons and then hid in the nearest room.
However, when they reacted, they found that Rosen and his group were still standing boldly outside.
Chilchuck immediately became anxious: "You guys, hurry and hide! The dragon is coming soon!"
"What do you mean?"
Rosen looked at the people beside him.
Beside him, Fubuki, Frieren, Gabriel, Saeko Busujima, and others either possessed superpowers and powerful magic, or were genetically enhanced humans, or even the most outrageous, the top graduate of Heaven.
While dragons are often considered apex beings in most works.
The Red Dragon in the dungeon is also a considerably powerful monster, but its strength depends on the opponent's power.
Last time, Laios's entire squad was almost wiped out by the Red Dragon's attack; if Falyn hadn't teleported them to the surface, perhaps everyone would have died in the dragon's belly, making revival impossible.
But the Red Dragon, facing their group, was just a slightly more troublesome enemy than a Walking Mushroom.
Buzz—!
The atmosphere vibrated.
A Red Dragon, about ten meters long, flew from the distant sky.
Its broad, fleshy wings exuded a sense of power, and its body, covered in blood-red scales, possessed considerable magic resistance.
Not to mention the terrifying dragon's might that emanated from its entire body when it roared.
Even though it wasn't their first time seeing it, Laios, Chilchuck, and the others' hands trembled slightly as they gripped their weapons.
The experience of almost being eaten last time also left a deep psychological scar.
However, thinking about reviving Falyn, they still mustered their courage.
Marcille clutched her staff, looking at her hiding teammates on one side and her new friends on the other, unsure of what to do.
"Ev-everyone, let's hide first.
Let's figure out a way to deal with the dragon."
Because she didn't know the strength of the group members, Marcille, worried about something going wrong, was very flustered.
After all, the dragon's figure was getting bigger and bigger.
It would be able to detect them in just a dozen more seconds of flying.
"No need for such trouble; it's just a dragon.
In my world, monsters of dragon-level existence have a much more powerful aura than it."
Fubuki glanced at Marcille, then at Frieren and Rosen beside her.
"They are actually the same; dealing with the Red Dragon doesn't require any special tactics at all."
"We have a more direct approach."
Marcille, Laios, and the others were awestruck by Fubuki's confidence.
After all, being able to speak with such a calm tone under the dragon's intimidation was indeed beyond ordinary people.
So.
Perhaps these guests from another world indeed possessed extraordinary abilities?
Otherwise, Marcille wouldn't have needed to invite them to save Falyn.
"As long as we're not careless, any one of us can sweep through it."
After saying this, a faint green glow suddenly appeared on Fubuki's body.
That was the external manifestation of her psychic power.
However, Saeko Busujima, who was beside her, indicated that she had something to say.
She was just an ordinary person who had taken gene-enhancing serum; dealing with ordinary monsters was fine, but dealing with this dragon was a bit difficult for her.
At least she couldn't 'sweep through it' as Fubuki claimed.
Laios and the others watched in shock as Fubuki floated into the air.
Her fitted dress and coat flapped wildly in the gale that had risen from nowhere.
Fubuki raised her hands, making the storm around her more intense.
Even the stones on the ground were swept up and disintegrated into fragments in the chaotic tempest.
Rosen and Frieren immediately retreated, the latter raising a defensive spell, giving Fubuki the stage for this display.
At this moment, the Red Dragon also noticed the anomaly.
After a roar, it quickly swooped down towards them.
Fubuki's lips curled into a cold smile.
She crossed her arms and used her psychic power to control the storm, forming a massive tornado.
