The team's pace was unexpectedly fast. Compared to their previous cautiousness and stumbles, Lilianna's team was now very familiar with the first three levels of the Norahan Maze. They skillfully avoided traps, quickly dealt with the low-level monsters they encountered, and easily entered the fourth level.

However, the so-called 'fast' was only in comparison to their previous attempts.

In the eyes of Anka and Hilteen, this speed was still pitifully slow.

Anka frowned slightly and said to Soren in a low voice, "Your Highness, at this rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to explore much today."

Hilteen nodded in agreement, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Soren gently patted their shoulders, signaling them to be patient: "Don't worry, give them some time to grow."

Although he said that, Soren was also pondering how to improve the overall efficiency without discouraging Lilianna's team.

Suddenly, the deep and mysterious voice of the Endless Blade echoed in Soren's mind.

"A member of the Blood Tears organization who wants to kill you has appeared around you and is watching you."

Upon hearing this, Soren's eyes sharpened, his gaze instantly becoming as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could penetrate the surrounding darkness and find the enemy hidden in the shadows.

"Attention, there are thieves watching nearby!" Soren warned Anka and Hilteen in a low voice.

Hearing this, the two remained expressionless, subconsciously moving to Soren's sides, their bodies leaning forward slightly, ready to respond to any attacks that might occur at any time.

Hilteen whispered: "Your Highness, should we contact Lord Shadow?"

Shadow was a semi-Saint-level powerhouse, and he was good at lurking and assassination. If he were here, everyone would feel more confident.

"No need, Saint-level powerhouses are just ants in this maze," Soren said with a smile, his tone relaxed but with an unquestionable firmness.

Anka and Hilteen also revealed knowing looks.

They knew the horror of this maze. Not to mention the unfathomable Lord, even the final BOSS Norahan was not someone Sword Saint One could deal with.

Sword Saint One was good at speed, and it could be judged from his small physique that his defense was not strong. Norahan, on the other hand, was good at defense. Although his strength was not as good as a true Saint-level powerhouse, if he were hit, even Sword Saint One, a Saint-level powerhouse, would be seriously injured.

Not to mention that Norahan also had two peak eighth-level mages assisting him.

The next morning, Soren continued to act in the maze with Lilianna's team.

They proceeded cautiously, encountering and successfully killing two ferocious Lesser Demon chieftains along the way.

Just then, they happened to see several adventurers passing by in a hurry from another direction.

Soren's eyes lit up, and he said with a serious expression: "Sorry, I found that the criminal who has been on the wanted list seems to be among those people. I need to go over and check. We'll leave the team for a while."

Monica asked decisively: "Do you need help?"

Soren shook his head firmly: "The three of them have a minimum strength of Tier 5, the risk is too great. We're just going to confirm, we don't need to fight. Bringing you will only increase the risk."

Lilianna nodded and said solemnly: "Be careful. We'll wait for you at the exit. If you haven't appeared after three days, we'll go to the Royal Guard Knights to send a message for you."

Soren gave them a grateful look, then took Anka and Hilteen and quickly chased after the direction the adventurers had left.

They had just left and hadn't even accelerated when the urgent voice of the Endless Blade reminded Soren in his mind: "That little dwarf is here."

"Damn it!" Soren was startled and cursed inwardly.

Little Dwarf was the nickname the Endless Blade gave to Sword Saint One.

"Speed up and go to Norahan. The Blood Tears organization's Sword Saint One is here," Soren shouted loudly, his voice full of tension and anxiety.

Hearing this, Anka and Hilteen didn't hesitate at all. One grabbed Soren's hand, instantly increasing their speed to the extreme, rushing forward like a gust of wind.

Fortunately, they were familiar with the maze's environment and knew many shortcuts, skillfully avoiding various obstacles and traps along the way, and were not caught up by the Blood Tears organization's people for a while.

However, just as they were less than a hundred meters away from Norahan, a noisy sound of footsteps and shouts came from behind them.

A terrifying gust of wind suddenly struck.

Sword Saint One didn't hesitate at all. Relying on the keen intuition cultivated over many years of combat, he twisted his body and jumped onto the nearby wall with incredible agility, narrowly avoiding the giant blade flying from the right.

Before he could see who attacked him, two ice cones shot towards him at an extremely fast speed, the angles were very tricky, almost blocking most of his evasion routes, forcing him to retreat while slashing the ice cones to shatter one of them, creating space for himself.

Soren and the others also took the opportunity to rush to the gate, but no matter how hard they tried, the gate remained motionless.

Soren said: "It should be because of the enemy, let's hide aside and watch the battle first." After saying that, the three quickly flashed to a corner, held their breath, and closely watched the development of the battle.

Norahan was tall and large, like a small mountain, exuding a chilling aura. He wielded a huge two-handed sword, and each swing brought up a gust of wind.

Two mage followers stood on both sides of the gate, chanting incantations, and magic light shone in their hands.

One released a raging flame, forming a wall of fire rushing towards Sword Saint One;

The other summoned countless ice thorns, rising from the ground, trying to trap the Sword Saint's footsteps.

Sword Saint One was agile, moving freely between the flames and ice thorns. The katana in his hand flickered with a cold light, and between the flashes of swords and shadows, he resolved the incoming attacks one by one.

With a sudden lunge, the Sword Saint instantly approached a mage follower, and the blade slashed down with a sharp momentum.
