Chapter 542 Successful Reunion, the Intimidating Force of the Mimic Roy!
Upon entering the seventy-second floor, unlike the others, Allen was like a cat abandoned by the world, alone in a dark and gloomy room.
With his powerful senses at LV.8, Allen quickly grasped the situation of the room. The space was very spacious, exceeding the size of Babel Square. Besides him, there was a faint presence in the center of the room.
boom! boom! boom!
As Allen took a step forward, flames suddenly erupted from the base of the room's walls, and the huge crystal on the ceiling burst forth with a light as dazzling as the sun.
The blinding light forced Allen to squint, but when he saw the figure in the center of the room, his eyes widened in shock.
"That bastard—no, not him!"
Allen's eyes were fixed on the familiar young man. Although his face and figure were exactly the same as Roy's, his temperament was completely different—he lacked the sharpness beneath Roy's gentleness and instead exuded a lifeless calmness, like a manipulated puppet.
His primal instincts told him that this wasn't Roy!
Roy, the mimic, was also staring at Allen, who had barged into the room, his lifeless eyes terrifyingly still.
"Although I don't know what you are, with that bastard-like appearance, you deserve to die!" Allen suppressed all distracting thoughts, gripped his spear tightly, took a step forward, and stared at his opponent with eyes like hooks.
Those cat-like vertical pupils seemed to be burning with raging fury.
Unwilling!
Back then, Roy, who was only LV.5, defeated him, who was LV.6, in front of everyone, causing him and the goddess Freya to lose face. This humiliation was like a knife cutting into Allen's heart for countless days and nights.
Revenge against Roy! This had long been Eren's obsession, one of the driving forces behind his relentless training day and night.
"So what if you're LV.9? You were able to challenge opponents of higher levels back then, so I might be able to too—" Allen roared.
Before he could finish speaking, his anger abruptly ceased.
The next second, a cold sensation came from my chest.
Allen's body suddenly stiffened. He lowered his head and stared blankly at the blood-stained blade protruding from his chest, piercing his heart and shattering it to pieces.
Before he knew it, the mimic Roy had already appeared in front of him, leaving him completely caught off guard.
"Pfft!" A sweet taste rose in Allen's throat, and blood surged up, spitting out violently. This was spatial magic!
"Cough—hoarse!"
'
Allen's eyes were bloodshot, and a beast-like growl escaped his throat. With his last strength, he raised his spear, the tip trembling as he thrust it toward the figure before him.
The Roy-like kick swept past like a phantom, landing on Allen's chest with a powerful push.
boom!
Allen was sent flying backward like a puppet with its strings cut, his back slamming hard against a distant wall. The terrifying impact shattered the stone wall, sending debris flying.
The muffled sound of bones breaking was exceptionally clear in the silence. Allen slid down the wall to the ground, his eyes wide open, his head tilted to one side, and he stopped breathing.
The spear slipped from his hand, rolled to the ground, bounced twice, and made a few hollow, soft sounds.
Allen, at level 8, was instantly killed!
As if he had merely dealt with an insignificant ant, the mimic Roy returned to the center of the room expressionlessly, closed his eyes, and the room fell silent once more.
On the other side, Roy and his team successfully dealt with the mimic Alphia, and the area returned to peace.
A reward panel popped up in front of Roy's eyes.
[Successfully defeated the near-LV.10 Mimic Alphia. Congratulations on obtaining the Grace Ascension Card (Alphia) and 1000 Free Attribute Points!]
Name: Grace Enhancement Card (Alphia)
Level: Cannot be assessed. Description: After use, the user's stats will reach the limit of the current level, and all development abilities will be increased by one level. Can only be used by Alphia.
Upon seeing this, Roy's eyes flashed with surprise. It was amazing that such a thing could be obtained. It was a special, exclusive item that couldn't even be obtained by using the selectable treasure chest.
It's a special product from the 72nd floor!
He killed the mimic Leon before, but it didn't trigger, so it seems there are hidden trigger conditions that require a puppet of the same or even higher level as him.
Roy would naturally not be stingy with Alphia, his sworn sister. Click to use.

After successfully defeating the Black Dragon, Alphia's stats experienced a surge. Afterwards, she accompanied the girls of the Astrea Familia on dungeon hunts, undergoing extensive training, and this time she has reached her absolute limit!
-
Roy exclaimed that since recovering from her terminal illness, Alphia's talent had been fully revealed, and improving her abilities was as easy as eating and drinking. She was also the only person besides him and Bell to easily break through to SSS.
"Hmm?" Alphia's senses were incredibly sharp, and she immediately noticed the changes in her body. A hint of confusion flashed in her bright heterochromatic eyes, and she turned to look at her "Family God" Roy.
Roy nodded at Alphia.
Having received Roy's response, Alphia stopped interfering and placed absolute trust in him.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Roy's gaze shifted, and apart from Cassandra, everyone else had sustained injuries to varying degrees in order to deal with the mimic Alphia. In particular, Ota and the others were so badly injured that even Cassandra's healing magic could not cure them.
Resources should be saved for critical moments. Roy took out the legendary selection chest, selected "Antidote", and created the 2.0 version of the Heavenly Elixir.
"Glug! Glug!"
Chun Kobrand, Ota, and Hegni each drank a bottle of the 2.0 version of the Elixir of Heaven, their bodies shimmering with life radiance as they quickly recovered.
Ota and Hegni stood up again, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Roy.
Roy nodded. This was what the other party deserved, after all, both had risked their lives in the battle against the mimic puppet and had put in a lot of effort.
Freya's Familia's cattle and horses are still quite useful!
Transfer to a higher position!
After doing all this, Roy used "Netherworld Soul Chaser" to lock onto the locations of Finn, Riveria, and the others. Spatial fluctuations spread, engulfing the figures of everyone.
In the blink of an eye, Roy and the others crossed most of the floor and arrived at Finn's side.
Finn's Loki Familia and Leon and Bell's squad were relatively close in location. After several twists and turns, they met first and successfully defeated the four Flame Warriors and Riveria's avatar.
"Roy, are you alright?"
When they saw Roy and the others appear, Finn, Riveria, Leon, and Bell all froze on the spot, then their faces lit up with ecstasy.
"Alphia, Mom!" Bell exclaimed with delight.
"It's good that you're alright." Alphia stroked Bell's gray hair, which was very similar to her own.
After Roy took Alphia in, the relationship between Alphia and Bell was no secret, and Bell now had the ability to protect himself.
Countless people envied this lucky kid immensely. Thanks to Alphia's connection, he had essentially latched onto the powerful Astrea Familia, making him someone no one in Orario dared to mess with, and he could walk around with impunity.
The status of the Hestia family rose sharply.
Rivera and Ais breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Roy was safe and sound.
"We've dealt with the mimicry of Alphia, Ryu, and Ota—what about you?" Roy said.
Upon hearing this, Finn and the others looked astonished.
Compared to them, the adventurer clones Roy encountered were on a completely different level of difficulty.
The group looked at each other. Apart from the missing person, Allen, the raid team was back together, which was both lucky and exciting.
Finn, Leon, and the others recounted the clones they encountered. After exchanging information, they gained a general understanding of the current situation and the characteristics of the floor.
The mimicry doll on the 72nd floor will not reappear for a short period of time; you only need to defeat one.
After everyone tallied up the numbers, they realized that most of the mimicry dolls had been dealt with.
Although it can replicate the adventurer's skills and abilities, it is ultimately a "monster" without intelligence. With the help of the group, the adventure was narrowly safe.
Roy asked, "What's that room?"
Liu, Alphia, and Ota, who had just arrived, also noticed Finn, Leon, and the others standing in front of a huge stone gate, hesitating.
Finn, Riveria, Leon, and the others exchanged glances, seeing each other's helplessness. Finn smiled wryly and said, "This is probably the floor owner's room."
"OP!"
Everyone's expression changed. The floor master was no joke; this kind of monster's abilities usually far exceeded those of the floor and it had a special mechanism.
Finn shook his head: "I'm not too sure either, but Leon and the others took a look. Let him tell me."
Roy, Liu, Ota and the others looked at Leon.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Leon smiled helplessly: "You're right, the monster in this room is also a mimicry doll, and it's—"
As he spoke, Leon's gaze fell on Roy, and everyone immediately had a bad feeling.
Leon stopped being mysterious and said, "It's Roy the Mimic!"
"hiss!"
Their suspicions were confirmed, and everyone gasped in shock, immediately understanding why Leon and the others had been lingering at the door, hesitant to go in.
Going in is tantamount to suicide!
They were furious, saying it was too outrageous to treat a clone of the strongest adventurer as the floor master.
Both Alphia and Roy are LV.9. In terms of stats, they may be evenly matched, but the chance of the former defeating the latter is less than 1%!
This is a fact that everyone acknowledges.
The reason is that Roy's mechanics are too abnormal. His insane stats, non-castable magic, adventure, spatial magic, blood for blood, and residual light conceal a terrifying number of abilities that only Roy knows.
So the mimic Alphia roams outside, while the mimic Roy guards this special room.
This is the official certification of the strongest in the dungeon!
"We must conquer this room."
Leon was troubled. Before Roy arrived, they secretly opened the stone door to take a look at the Roy clone, but there was no movement inside. It seemed that as long as they did not step inside, they would not provoke an attack.
However, according to their speculation, the entrance to the seventy-third floor is also in this room!
Just like the thirty-seventh floor, the throne room where the floor lord "Udeos" resides is also the gateway to the thirty-eighth floor, and the floors share the same characteristics.
You must defeat the strongest monster to clear the game!
Fortunately, the main character arrived. Finn asked, "Roy, you know yourself best. What do you think we should do to defeat that Roy clone?"
".."
Roy was speechless for a moment.
Looking around, everyone remained silent.
The raiding team is large, including Roy himself and Chun Ji. Theoretically, Chun Ji can grant everyone a level boost, making them unstoppable. They can easily clear this floor in one go.
No matter who it is, even a clone of anyone else couldn't stop it!
But this strategy doesn't work on Roy!
Spatial magic makes it invincible, but once injured, the accumulated damage will unleash its strongest revenge skill, "Blood for Blood," which can instantly kill everyone across different levels!
Not to mention Roy possesses a whole host of complex and diverse abilities, skills, and magic.
It wasn't until Roy became an enemy that everyone realized how formidable he was; even if all the adventurers in Orario joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him!
Crouching outside the floor boss's room, the exploration team discussed ways to defeat the mimic Roy. The more they thought about it, the more worried they became. Would they get stuck here?
If they had known this would happen, they should have prevented Roy from entering that floor in the first place. But it wouldn't have made much difference; there's no reason to sacrifice our main force just because we're afraid of the enemy.
Roy was also thinking about this.
Because of his own skills and magic, his original self was upgraded to LV.10, but he still wouldn't dare say he had a sure victory over the clone.
Because Roy knows himself best, he understands just how powerful he is.
Based on the differences between Ryu and his clone, Roy could guess that some of his abilities could not be copied, but even if the other party only had 80% of his strength, it would still be very troublesome.
"My weakness?"
Roy murmured, his mind more active when it came to winning over his clone.
Not only because of the need to reach the 73rd floor, but also because the rewards from defeating the Mimic Alphia mean that his clone may also drop a Grace Ascension Card, causing his stats to skyrocket.
Ryu looked at Roy's furrowed brows, her small, cold hand intertwining with Roy's large hand. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't forget that we're here for you. As long as we work together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome."
Roy stared at Liu's cold and beautiful face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ryu felt shy under his gaze, and a blush rose on her cheeks.
Roy's handsome lips curled up slightly. "Thanks to you, I've come up with a way to defeat it."
"That's great!" Ryu's eyes lit up.
After discussing it with everyone, Roy no longer hesitated and took the lead, arriving at the heavy door and slowly pushing it open to the floor boss's room.
