Quadratic Element from Zero

Asuna carefully sorted out the clothes on Yui's body and said, "If you find the boss, remember to inform your mother, don't let your father fight alone, you know?"

"Yeah! Yui promises to complete the mission!"

Raising his little hand, Yui bowed with a non-standard etiquette.

"Then I'll go first, Qiye remember to protect Yui, or when I come back... hum!"

Asuna gave Nanaya a vicious look, feeling extremely unhappy that Yui didn't follow her.

"Then let's go... Bahamut!"

Qiye held Yui in his arms and jumped onto Bahamut, who had returned to his original form.

"hold head high!"

With a crisp dragon roar, the figures of Qiye and others disappeared from the sky.

........................

According to the route map given by Asuna, it took a little while for Qiye to successfully climb to the seventeenth floor of the labyrinth tower, and further down is a dazed and unknown area.

"Bahamut, Yui's safety is left to you, you must protect her well..."

Qiye looked at Bahamut and Yui behind him and said, "I don't know what will happen next, so you'd better be careful..."

"Ow!"

Bahamut, who was lying in Yui's arms, let out a soft cry, indicating that as long as it was there, nothing could hurt Yui.

"Dad, you are the one who needs the most attention, obviously the weapons are broken..."

Yui said worriedly, "Why don't you wait until the weapon is repaired..."

"Thank you for your concern, but there's no need for that..."

Qiye touched Yui's little head and said, "Even if it's a normal weapon, it's fine. That's why Dad is called the strongest SAO..."

Yui nodded helplessly and said, "Alright then... But, Dad, you have to be careful..."

"Well, Dad will definitely pay attention..."

Qiye nodded, took out a standard store weapon from his backpack, and stepped into the unknown area ahead with Yui.

........................

On the other hand, after returning to the town on the [-]nd floor, Asuna quickly organized the people of the clearing group, and immediately set foot on the road to the labyrinth tower after a brief inspection.

Walking on the road, Heathcliff suddenly said, "Asuna, is the disappearance you told me last time true? Had Pluto really said that?"

"Um……"

Asuna nodded and said: "He really told me that, as long as it is a boss fight, he will participate, and if he finds a boss, he will notify us to fight together..."

A slight smile appeared on Heathcliff's face, and he said, "Great, with the addition of such a master, our strategy can be much faster..."

"Pluto actually fights with us, it's great!"

"Yeah, yeah! This is something I've only dreamed of seeing!"

"..."

After receiving an affirmative answer from Asuna, not only Heathcliff, but also the members of the clearing team behind them all had the same smiles on their faces.

On the other side, Qiye, who was missed by everyone, was fighting non-stop.

"Shh!"

After slicing the monster in front of him with a sword, Qiye took a breath and said, "Really, how long will this endless battle last? It's been a long time since we left, and we haven't seen it The road to the next level..."

"Dad! Look!"

Yui behind him suddenly found something, ran up and said, "The route we took just now is actually a circle!"

"what!"

Qiye hurriedly opened his map and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "It's true, it's strange that I've been walking forward, but it turned into a circle..."

"Could it be that this labyrinth was originally circular..."

Yui twisted her hair and made her own guess.

"This one……"

Qiye frowned and thought about it for a long time, then said, "Maybe it's really possible, let's walk again... Yui, when you walk behind, pay attention to the walls on both sides, I suspect it leads to the next floor. The road should be in the walls on both sides..."

"Hmm!" "Ow!"

One person and one dragon nodded and responded.

After a short rest, Qiye and the others set foot on the road again. This time they not only paid attention to the front, but also carefully inspected the walls on both sides. After about an hour or so, Qiye really found out.

On the wall on the right side of the circular maze about halfway through, there is a strange torch. This torch is different from other torches. Not only are their positions different, but even the relief carved on the torch socket is completely different.

Looking at this weird torch, Qiye subconsciously pulled out the torch, and then a strange sound of gear turning sounded, and then the wall that had no gaps suddenly dented inward, and a moment later a passage leading to the top appeared in Qiye in front of.

"it is as expected!"

Looking at the passage that appeared in front of him, a smile appeared on Qiye's face and said, "Yi, Bahamut, let's go up..."
