"Everyone! Raise your spirits!"
When everyone was feeling discouraged, Finn stepped forward.
"We must defeat that monster! No matter how difficult, we will overcome this challenge and vanquish it!" He declared resolutely.
Everyone present could feel his unwavering resolve. As expected of someone who never yields, even in dire circumstances.
However, he wasn't the only one rising to meet this desperate challenge.
"Captain Finn, may I ask you something?" While channeling magic power to Riveria, Adam addressed him, "In our current situation, we can't defeat the monster. We're trapped here, unable to get outside the barrier to attack it."
"I know that — of course I know. So what do you want to do, Adam?"
"What do I want to do? Just as Captain Finn said — I want to defeat it!"
His body began to glow with heat, adrenaline surging through him. His rational mind gave way to passion as powerful magic power welled up like a spring.
He could no longer contain himself!
"Though this may sound strange, please don't be alarmed by what I'm about to say."
"Let me defeat it alone!"
Despite Adam's warning, his words left them stunned.
They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Adam! Are you mad?! That's a Spirit — a monster not to be underestimated!"
"Yeah, Adam! You saw its power — we couldn't defeat it together, how could you possibly take it down alone?!"
"That's right, that's right!"
"A monster of that level can't be defeated by one person!"
Everyone objected, their doubt evident.
This was understandable. The expedition team consisted of powerful Adventurers — except for Lefiya and Raul who served as Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Moreover, three Level 6 top-tier fighters were among them!
Yet even they were trapped here, forced to defend passively as the monster's magic swept through every corner of the 59th Floor.
The barrage of attacks was overwhelming. They could only huddle in corners, desperately maintaining their small barriers.
When they couldn't even escape their current position, how could anyone suggest fighting alone?
"You don't believe me... That's fair. To you, I must seem like I'm hurling eggs at a stone, or perhaps you think I'm trying to sacrifice myself." Adam's voice was soft but determined, "So let me be clear — I'm not joking! Please let me defeat it alone!"
"Tch, still spouting nonsense! Don't be so full of yourself, you idiot! Do you even understand how powerful that monster is?!" Bete snapped.
Though his tone was harsh, born from his quick temper, his concern was evident.
Even though Adam had frequently teased him throughout their journey, as both comrade and follower, Bete deeply respected him as a powerful warrior.
That's precisely why Bete couldn't bear to watch Adam throw his life away!
"Bete, control yourself." Finn instinctively scolded the werewolf. Unconsciously licking his throbbing thumb, he asked quietly, "Adam, are you certain?"
"Ah, it shouldn't be a problem!" Adam replied without hesitation.
This self-assured response proved more effective than all of Finn's previous attempts at raising morale.
His words transformed everyone's tension, worry, and despair into a glimmer of hope that he might actually defeat the monster.
Adam could feel their trust!
Thanks to their dependence, under the enhancement of〚Last Hope〛, his power grew even stronger!
"Sigh... very well, Adam. Do what you must." Finn exhaled deeply, accepting the young man's nearly suicidal request.
"What are you thinking, Finn!"
"Really, Captain Finn!"
The gathered Adventurers voiced their disagreement, openly objecting to his decision.
"Look at yourselves! Is this how we should act when facing death?" Finn scolded them sharply, then softened his tone, "Besides, Adam isn't reckless by nature. If he's making this request, he must see a path to victory. Shouldn't we offer him our Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform...!"
"Shouldn't you... offer him... your... Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
His hands gripped the spear until his knuckles turned white, veins bulging on his forehead, words grinding through clenched teeth — clear signs of his barely contained fury.
Indeed. He was meant to lead everyone to victory. But now, he could only place his hope in another.
Moreover... even he didn't know if hope would truly appear in the end.
"So, Adam, you absolutely must win!"
"Ah! Just leave it to me. Focus on lending me your Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform..."
For Tiona, who loved heroic tales, seeing someone step forward at such a crucial moment felt familiar — no, this was more than familiar, this was reality!
This was "The Heroic Tale of Adam Carter" unfolding before her eyes!
"Hero? I prefer to be called Hope."
"Very well, Adam. What's your plan?" As expedition commander, Finn needed to understand the strategy clearly.
"Miss Riveria, if I stop channeling magic power, how long can you maintain the barrier?"
"Three minutes at most, given our current magic power reserves and spell intensity."
"That's plenty of time." Adam nodded with satisfaction, "I'm going to use magic."
"Magic that nullifies all magic!" Adam declared.
"I'll deploy a domain that reverts all magic within it back to pure magic power. This means the domain surrounding us will also disappear. When that happens, Miss Riveria, don't strain yourself — just follow your instincts and stop maintaining the barrier."
This domain magic was a variant of〘EMT〙(Absolute Negation Magic), developed with Betty!
Adam hadn't attempted this before because his magic power couldn't cover the entire floor.
But now, enhanced by〚Last Hope〛, his magic power had reached astronomical levels!
As everyone knows, only magic can defeat magic.
So Adam would nullify the Spirit's magic and eliminate it in one decisive strike!
