[148] Bankai – Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!

[148] Bankai – Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!

"Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"

Rumble~

In an instant, an extremely cold aura instantly enveloped the entire 58th floor.

The originally scorching floor's temperature suddenly dropped, and even faintly, a layer of ice crystals began to appear on the edges of the rock walls.

As the instigator, August, underwent a tremendous transformation. Both his hands and legs turned into icy dragon claws, and a pair of icy wings spread behind him.

Above the wings floated three scarlet lotuses, totaling twelve lotus petals.

This was August's incomplete Hyorinmaru's Bankai. These three lotuses served as evidence of its incompleteness, signifying a countdown to the full maturity of the Bankai. Once the time was up, the Bankai would be released, returning August to his normal state.

This was August's first attempt at Hyorinmaru's Bankai, and it felt great, a sensation entirely different from Demonization.

This unexpected scene shocked Finn and the others behind, especially Riveria.

As a mage, she keenly sensed the subtle changes in the surroundings. When August transformed into this posture, the temperature around him rapidly decreased.

Not only that, all the magical elements on the entire floor converged towards August.

Even she, at this moment, would face a significant reduction in the power of her magic if she attempted to cast spells. After all, when mages use magic, in addition to the consumption of their own magical power, they also attract the free magical elements in the atmosphere to enhance the power of their spells.

Swoosh~

At this moment, a breeze came out of nowhere, causing everyone to feel a bit cold.

"Hmm? What is this? Snowflakes?"

Lefiya suddenly felt a chill on her forehead. Looking up, she saw blood-red flowers falling around her.

"Hey, is this a joke?"

Finn also found it hard to believe. Was this the true extent of August's power? Just the leakage of cold air changed the entire floor?

*ROOOOAR*

However, the changes here did not stop the distant dragon-type monsters

Undeniably, the power of Hyorinmaru was formidable, truly living up to its reputation as the strongest ice and snow Zanpakuto.

"August, what you've done..."

Finn walked over, looking at the Dragon's Vase that had drastically cooled down, unsure of what to say. They had expected a fierce battle, but August had resolved everything directly.

"Hey, Finn, everything's settled."

"You..."

Was this a good thing?

Certainly, it was. After all, their goal was the deeper 59th floor, the last documented floor. Saving energy before a major battle was undoubtedly a good thing.

But, clearing all the monsters alone would make them appear incompetent. Looking at the empty 58th floor, everyone fell into silence. Especially Bete, though they were comrades, he felt frustrated. He had planned to show off his strength before August, but unexpectedly, everything was already finished before he even began.

"Wow! This is good materials. This is the Red Dragon's skin, Valgang Dragon's teeth, Wyvern's claws. August, come over here quickly and collect these, they're all mine."

"Alright."

Summoned by his girlfriend, August naturally ran over.

This left Finn even more at a loss for words. Drops and loot were not even an issue with August around.

"Raul, go help them clean up the battlefield quickly. We'll rest for a bit and then move on to the next floor."

"Yes."

With a massive supporter backpack, Raul ran over. He was Finn's number one subordinate.

Others found a place to sit and rest, drink some water, and recover. Charging from the 51st floor to the 58th floor had taken a toll.

On the other side, August, Tsubaki, and Raul were busy collecting the spoils.

Looking at the numerous rare drops of dragon materials, Tsubaki almost laughed crazily. For a blacksmith, this was heaven. For a moment, everyone fell into the same silent phase. Suddenly, at this moment, the entire floor experienced violent shaking.

Everyone was on high alert. After all, this was the deepest floor of the dungeon, and no one knew what might happen here.
