Chapter 720 Two? Purgatory Comes

2/28

In the kitchen, broth is being boiled on the red charcoal grill, and the cakes in the oven are gradually taking shape.

Da da...

Behind the bar, Mia, who was preparing to open the store, heard the light footsteps coming down the stairs, and without looking up, she steadily peeled off the skin of the apple with a knife.

"I didn't practice swinging a knife in the courtyard in the early morning, did I oversleep?"

"no..."

"Um?"

Feeling that the other party was hesitant to speak, Mia put down the chores at hand and turned to look towards the stairs.

"I'm really sorry for making this request now, but... can I ask for a day off?"

The elf girl who suddenly announced that she would be absent from work was neither wearing the uniform of the waiter in the store, nor the personal adventurer's clothing and green cloak when entering and exiting the maze.

Instead, it is a combat uniform with pure white and blue as the main tone, supplemented by a few dazzling gold trims.

"This outfit..."

After a moment of surprise, Mia quickly understood Lyu's intention of changing into this outfit, and a faint gratification flashed in her eyes.

She didn't pursue the matter of temporarily asking for leave, but just asked with her hands on her hips:

"It seems that you have made up your mind?"

Lyu shook her head.

"Honestly, I'm still at a loss..."

Trying to explain my inner thoughts, but I haven't sorted out all my thoughts, and I can't organize a complete sentence at all.

Therefore, Lyu gave up on explaining.

"Although I still don't know what I want to do and what I can do. However, I want to try to take a step forward...Follow the guidance of the stars and slowly find the answer."

"Before I set off, I had to tell them this decision myself."

The elf girl's right hand clenched into a fist was pressed to her heart, and her eyes showed a trace of determination to get out of hesitation.

"Hmph, that's a pretty good answer. Let's go!"

As she said that, Mia waved her hand, indicating that she approved the leave request.

"Remember, you can come back here anytime."

"Yes, then I'm off, Mia's mother."

Bowing deeply to the proprietress gratefully, seeing that she had turned her head and continued to peel the fruit, Lyu said no more, picked up the wooden knife leaning against the handrail of the stairs and a pair of small knives tied around her waist, put on a cloak and came to the tavern outside.

Standing on the ever-increasing number of streets, looking up at the bluer sky than usual.

White clouds wander across the boundless sky.

Higher up, where the stars are...

Even if he can't be seen now, he is undoubtedly bathed in the light of the stars.

Lyu slowly took a breath of cool air.

Immediately...

Pulling down the brim of the cloak, he walked towards the White Tower standing in the center of the city.

...

After staying in the deep layer for a whole day and a half, Chios, who devoted all his time to fighting except eating and sleeping, finally raised the proficiency of all basic abilities to S rank.

The floor space below the 37th floor has already exceeded the size of the labyrinth city, and the journey to reach the top of each floor is about [-] kilometers in total, and there will be monster attacks from time to time along the way.Even if the team of first-level adventurers started their journey early in the morning, by the time they returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Babel, it would probably be nightfall.

Chios' goal is to register the upgrade message with the guild on March 3, so he's not particularly anxious.

The group of four enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Tifa in the comfortable environment of the camp. After about 07:30 in the morning, they left the camp and embarked on the return journey back to the surface.

When passing through the lower layers, especially the 25-27 layer domain, Ai Si kept looking around.

Probably to check if there are any traces of mermaids in the surrounding water...

Fortunately, until the four of them finished walking down the lower floor and reached the top of the giant blue waterfall, they didn't see any heretics.

The little princess seemed to be bothered by the fact that the heretic called Chios Marie's "companion" two days ago, even though Chios took advantage of Riveria's absence to help Tifa with lunch yesterday and put Aisi dragged her to the campsite and explained with perseverance for more than half an hour, but the other party was still not completely convinced.

The result of some communication is that Ai Si became more determined to become a mother.

After all, it is impossible for monsters to give birth to the next generation for Chios...

She wants to prove that only humans are suitable companions for Chios by becoming a mother.By the way, during this process, the excess energy in the young man was drained, so that he had no energy to go out and flirt.

When Ais gasped and said her inner thoughts resolutely, Chios had a hard time not to laugh on the spot.

Is this intended to be a ruthless reproductive machine?

Why do all the naturally stupid girls I have met so far want to have children so desperately...

(Anyway, it won't be me who suffers anyway.)

Thinking this way, Chios entered the crystal cave leading to the middle layer.

Compared with Aisi's desire to be a mother, what he cares most now is the growing sense of crisis in his heart since the day before yesterday.

It stands to reason that it is definitely easier to kill intruders in the dungeon than on the surface...

The last time the will of the world caused a large-scale monster blowout in the lower layers, but the reason for the failure of the siege should be mainly attributed to the lack of strength of the monsters and the fact that they were not far enough from the surface to allow themselves to persist until the reinforcements arrived.

Now, not only his strength has improved, but he is no longer wearing ordinary clothes with weak defenses, but armor with indestructible characteristics. The team also has Rivilia, the strongest magician in the city.

Therefore, unless the lesson cannot be learned, the possibility of the will of the world choosing the lower floor as the second shot is very slim.

However, in the deep layer, which is farther from the surface and the monsters are more powerful, the opponent still stands still...

(Do you think I'll run away?)

Indeed, it is impossible for Chios to watch the abnormal situation happen in front of his eyes, and stupidly wait for the encirclement to take shape before acting.

The reason for the Water Misunderstanding was that many adventurers were in the lower ranks. Under this premise, he evaluated his own strength and judged that he had a high probability of surviving.

There are far fewer adventurers in the deep layer, and it is extremely difficult to find each one, which is far less meaningful than protecting the four of them.

Then think in reverse, to limit your own actions, and create the best place to make yourself think "can't escape" and "reinforcements will arrive sooner or later"...

Maze Paradise?

No, to be more precise, it's the "Rivera" street...

This guess was completely fulfilled the moment the four of them stepped onto the 18th floor.

The field of vision is filled with flames and black smoke...

Endless green covers the entire space, and even the crystals on the zenith that reflect day and night are covered.

A faint twilight seeped through the gaps in the green flesh, presenting a twilight scene like dusk.

It is not clear whether it is caused by magic or other things. Explosions occur frequently in forests, rivers, lakes and other places. The roaring and loud noises from far and near form endless echoes.

Paradise has become purgatory.

Chapter 720 Three? The Oath of Galewind

"Oh shit..."

With a crimson spear on his shoulders and a half-legged posture with one foot on the rock face, the man in sunglasses who was sitting on the boulder cursed impatiently.

"It's past the scheduled time, and the guy hasn't arrived yet! I've been waiting here for almost two hours...Gran!"

"Dix, what do I need?"

Hearing the leader calling himself, Gran quickly responded.

However, with a push of his hand, Dix jumped off the rock at the highest point of vision, and walked towards the secret entrance and exit of the man-made maze.

"gone."

"But, but, shouldn't we wait for the Sword of Dawn to appear before we notify the Thanatos Familia?"

Hearing this, the man in sunglasses curled his lips and let out a disdainful snort.

Long before he was born, his ancestors had contacts with the dark faction.

It is not a subordination between superiors and subordinates, but a cooperative relationship.Because of this, it was impossible for Dix to order those lunatics to do things like he ordered his own family members.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, it doesn't make much sense to continue to stay here.

"I don't care about waiting, but do you think Valletta and her gang of saboteurs are going to stay where they are?"

"Dix, you mean they..."

Boom boom boom! ! !

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded in the south of the Labyrinth Paradise.

The entire floor was shaking, and countless dust and stone chips fell from the mountain wall.

The movement is really small...

The Thanatos family must have cost a lot of lives.

However, since the main god is the god in charge of death, it is reasonable to use the members as bombs.

Dix turned to look south...

The only road connecting the 17th and 18th floors is the narrow opening behind the room of the main floor, Goliath.

It's not difficult to block the path, but for the first-level adventurers who came to support from the surface, it doesn't take much time to move or destroy small-scale obstacles.

Therefore, the Thanatos family decided to use a large number of flame stones to blow up the main room of the entire floor together with the narrow opening.

Facing a large piece of ruins with a length and width of more than [-] meters, even if the first-level adventurers tried their best, it would probably take half a day to clear the road.

What's more, the troubles waiting for them are far more than these...

Thinking of this, Dix sneered.

"Gran, go open the door to contain the "army". "

"Whoa whoa! "

...

Boom boom boom! ! !

The loud noise accompanied by the painful convulsions of a labyrinth caused Lyu, who was presenting flowers to his companions in the cemetery, to pause.

Immediately afterwards, strong wind pressure swept across...

She quickly grabbed the hem of the cloak and held it in front of her.

blow! ! !

Countless rock fragments scraped through his clothes like a sharp blade.

After the strong wind passed, Liu let go of the cloak.

The gravel fell to the ground with a clatter.

If it weren't for the material used to make the battle suit was strong enough, she might have dozens of bloodstains on her body at this time.

"explode..."

The sound came from the south.

(It cannot be the floor master.)

Lyu was very sure of this.

When she passed the 17th floor earlier, she didn't feel any movement behind the sighing wall, indicating that Goliath should have been knocked down in the past two or three days.

Obviously, all this is man-made.
