Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 890: Chapter 889: Forge the Mirai with Our Swords (Part 2)

The melodious singing echoed through the silent corridor.

The girl held a lute in her hand, playing and singing a ballad. Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a certain soul-stirring power.

”Clap clap clap!!”

As the song ended, the girls present couldn’t help but clap their hands, and even Fang Zheng joined in. Undeniably, the song sung by the girl named Yuna was indeed beautiful. Especially in such a setting, in the serene Core Zone, listening to a song was indeed a good choice for relaxation.

Not only that......

”Is this the BUFF?”

Fang Zheng curiously examined the yellow musical note icon appearing on his character status bar.

”What is the effect?”

”This is the Wind Sound Guard.”

At this moment, Yuna also put down the lute in her hand and explained.

”The effect is to increase defense by 5%, and resistance to stun and poison.”

The girl paused a moment when she said this.

”It seems that different songs have different BUFFs, but...... I haven’t fully mastered it yet.”

”Hmm...... it’s not bad.”

Hearing Yuna’s answer, Fang Zheng nodded.

”What about the duration?”

”Thirty minutes.”

”That’s enough.”

Saying this, Fang Zheng stood up, and noticing his movement, everyone else also instantly stood up. Their actions were so synchronized and swift, like an army, that even the usually lazy Gabriel was no exception———of course, this was thanks to Fang Zheng’s devilish hell training. For the girls in front of him, this was already an instinctive reaction.

Even so, it still left Yuna and Agil marveling. Of course, they understood the importance of discipline, but to be honest, in a large guild like Dark Nebula, due to the large number of members, it was impossible to achieve such an effect, even if the Black Snow Princess, being the guild leader, had enough prestige to lead.

”I think you all know what we are going to face next.”

Fang Zheng looked at the girls in front of him and spoke.

”We have prepared for so long and suffered so much for this moment, and this is just the beginning. But as the saying goes, a good start is half the success. Since you chose to stand here, you have already made your choice......”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Yuki nodded vigorously, Asuna also gripped her sword hilt tightly, Aoba’s expression was somewhat anxious but she said nothing.

Black Cat sneered, extending her hand to cover her left eye. Although she didn’t say anything, this pose probably meant ”in front of my Nightmare Queen how how”— anyway, everyone could more or less guess it.

Gabriel yawned, giving off an air of ”let’s finish quickly and go home to sleep”, and Eiriri beside her glared at her and then sighed helplessly.

As for Ester and Restia, they stood silently behind Fang Zheng, saying nothing.

”Remember, based on our current situation and the mission information we obtained previously, the first-floor lord should be the Kobold Lord. Its attack mode is currently unknown, but judging from the creatures we encountered along the way, it is very likely to have higher-level skills of those kobold minions.”

At this, Fang Zheng glanced once more at the girls beside him.

”Then, just like in training before, Ester, Restia, and I will focus on defeating the boss. The rest of you will group accordingly based on the types of minions...understand?”

”Understood!”

”Very good.”

Hearing the girls’ responses, Fang Zheng nodded, then turned around, reached out, and gently pushed the large door before him. In the next moment, the door opened with a sound, revealing the pitch-black and empty space inside.

”Let’s go!”

Watching Fang Zheng and his group, with their heads held high, enter the lord’s chamber, Yuna and Agil couldn’t help but hold their breath.

”Amazing......”

Watching Fang Zheng and the others, cloaked and unhesitant, walk into the lord’s chamber with weapons in hand, Yuna couldn’t help but mutter to herself. From these people, she could feel an aura of immense confidence. She had never seen this aura on the players of Dark Nebula; although they always fought hard every time they went out, the feeling they gave was more like blindly risking their lives.

But these people were entirely different; they appeared full of endless confidence, as if nothing could stand in their way. Yuna even had a feeling that they would continue to charge from here to the top of the hundred-floor tower without stopping.

I also want to be one of them.

Watching the group enter the hall, Yuna clenched her fists tightly and placed them on her chest.

Not just idling away my days in the guild, I want to grasp victory and hope with my own hands, just like them!

”—————!!”

The originally dark hall became dazzlingly bright the moment Fang Zheng and the others stepped in. Fang Zheng looked up and quickly saw the Kobold Lord with a massive fiery red body sitting at the end of the hall on a chair, and in front of the Kobold Lord stood three Kobold Guards holding iron hammers and dressed in heavy armor.

Bring it on.

Facing the creatures in front of him, Fang Zheng reached out to grip the greatsword, his lips curling slightly into a cold smile. It had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling. Ever since obtaining the power of the Time Dragon, there was almost nothing Fang Zheng couldn’t handle. But now, here, he finally felt a sense of excitement and thrill.

Not relying on magic nor other means, but the feeling of fighting with the sword in hand and achieving victory.

Trying it once in a while isn’t bad either......

”Roar———!!”

The Kobold Lord let out a roar, stood up from its chair, then picked up the battle axe and shield beside it and leaped down. At the same time, the three Kobold Guards beside it also let out ”ya ya” cries, charging towards the enemies in front of them!

Simultaneously, the three figures behind Fang Zheng quickly sprang into action.

”Haaa!!”

Leafa wielded her taidao, assuming a perfect middle stance to meet the Kobold Guard in front of her. On both sides of her, Gabriel and Yuki similarly raised their weapons, charging toward the Kobold Guards in front of them.

”Clang!”

The Kobold Guard’s iron hammer clashed heavily with Leafa’s taidao, then bounced off. The massive recoil slid Leafa back, but she wasn’t surprised. On the contrary, she shouted loudly as she blocked the Kobold Guard.

”Switch!”

Before Leafa’s words were finished, Black Cat flashed past her side like a ghost, and her scimitar shone with a dazzling brilliance, cutting into the Kobold Guard’s body with a bright trail. Accompanied by a cry of pain, the Kobold Guard fell backward to the ground. But quickly, it jumped back up, swinging the heavy hammer to attack again.

At the same time, Leafa also regrouped and charged forward again.

The initial battle, which affected the fate of ten thousand people in Aincrad, thus began.
