Chapter 360: Surprise and Sneak Attack

"Miss Alyssa, although you come from a noble family, based on your style of doing things along the way, I can feel that you are a rare true knight who always upholds the principles of justice in your heart!"

Gazing at the somewhat shaken young knight, Mondolo slowly stood up from the stone pillar with a sincere look.

"Then, I wonder if you are willing to temporarily put aside your noble status and see the other side of this empire with your own eyes?"

"I... I don't know... but you can't win, you... you don't understand how powerful the empire is!"

The young knight's heart was a little confused at this time. Although she knew that the few people in front of her were "dangerous" rebels, she suddenly began to waver after listening to Mondolo's words.

Not fearing the powerful and protecting the weak, this is exactly the way of justice that Alyssa has always followed. But at this moment, this conflicted with her identity.

"On the contrary, Miss Alyssa, we know very well what we are facing. The empire is indeed very powerful, but it is not as powerful and invincible as imagined."

Mentioning this, Mondolo gently waved his hand.

"Those corrupt nobles have already hollowed out the foundation of this empire. Like a giant who is sick and aging, the mighty and strong appearance is just a layer of fog covering his eyes."

"I have seen the descendants of minor nobles take advantage of their power to seize the treasures and lovers of civilian professionals, and I have also seen the city guards pretending to be robbers and robbing merchants and travelers.

Even in the black market, I have seen the border garrison secretly reselling city defense armaments and supplies. And all this happened at the bottom, the top of the empire never noticed it from beginning to end."

"I know, you may want to say that facing a ninth-level strongman, no matter how many low-level professionals are useless."

As he said, Mondolo suddenly blinked.

"But since we dare to stand up, we naturally have ways to deal with high-level professionals. As for the specific details, it is inconvenient to disclose."

"I understand that the enemy we are facing is very powerful, so powerful that it can easily destroy our resistance. But Miss Alyssa, in the chivalry you follow, do you have to retreat when you encounter a difficult and powerful enemy?

Facing the bumps and thorns ahead, some people must stand up to pave the way for those who come after and leave a fire.

Even if we really fail in the end, our successors can learn lessons from our failure and move forward on the right path!"

"But..."

His words made Alyssa's heart more shaken.

But at this time, at the main entrance of the cave, there was a sudden burst of violent running sounds and some strange sounds like a giant soft-bodied creature crawling.

"Help! Is anyone there?! Help!"

After a moment, the panicked figure of Pez running alone appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The aura effect of some low-level wind spells wrapped around him, increasing his running speed.

In the cave behind him, a huge wall of black-green flesh with a viscous surface and a metallic luster followed closely behind, blocking the entire passage.

Seeing the four people still staying in the cave, Pez's eyes suddenly rose with a strong desire to survive.

"Hurry up and save me! It's catching up with me, ah ah ah!"

Shouting to the four people in fear, Pez suddenly tripped and almost fell, and his speed inevitably slowed down for a moment, which made him suddenly close the distance with the flesh wall behind him.

At the same time, a long tentacle suddenly stretched out from the flesh wall and quickly wrapped around Pez.

"Pez?! What is that? Where is Ex?"

Seeing this thrilling scene, the four were startled and immediately stopped the previous conversation. Alyssa and Mondoro worked together to use force field magic to pull him to the side of the crowd, temporarily away from the flesh wall behind.

"I don't know! It suddenly appeared! Ex, he, he's in that! He was swallowed by it!!"

After being rescued, Pez desperately pointed at the flesh wall behind him, and his words were already a little incoherent.

After pouring into the hall, the speed of the 'flesh wall' also slowed down a little. The material that made up its body spread out, pouring into the cave hall like a wave of black and green mud, sliding over the sides of the stone pillars.

Everyone could clearly see that it was actually something like a giant amoeba. It was just because the passage was too narrow relative to its body that it appeared like a flesh wall.

Alyssa tried to mobilize her blood power and sent a huge half-moon slash burning with golden red flames to it.

But this magic slash, which was close to the peak of the third level, only punctured a bubble on its body, and then quietly sank into its body, and couldn't even delay it.

And judging from the bubbles that kept appearing on its body, it was probably not a harm at all.

Seeing this result, everyone ran away.

The only entrance to the cave had been blocked by the ‘amoeba’, and the only direction to escape was the black stone door that they had never been willing to explore before.

But now, they had no choice.

They rushed into the gate one after another, and the five of them used their best escape methods. At this time, the comprehensive strength of everyone can be seen.

The one who rushed to the front was undoubtedly Alyssa, and Roche's speed was comparable to Mondoro. Matt was a little slower than them, and Pez was still at the end.

Seeing that the distance between himself and the people in front of him was gradually increasing, especially Roach, who he had previously looked down upon, but now his speed was equal to that of the captain, Pez couldn't help but have a trace of jealousy flash in his eyes.

How could he, a mere freshman who was less than level 3, run faster than me? It definitely uses some high-level magic equipment!

And he is stronger than that lucky guy in both talent and strength, but because his equipment is not as good as his, he has to support him?

Thinking of this, Pez's eyes couldn't help but darken.

During the previous escape process, he actually escaped with Akers, but Akers accidentally tripped at the corner and was unfortunately caught up by the monster.

And he remembered clearly that the moment Ax was swallowed up, the monster behind would pause for a brief moment.

At this time, as everyone was running at full speed, the gate at the other end of the corridor was vaguely visible in the distance.

At this time, Anvis and others inside the door also discovered abnormal noises in the passage.

"Those are the people just now, and there is some kind of strange creature that fills the entire passage chasing behind them!"

Seeing the scene in the corridor, Anvis' heart sank. The thing chasing behind everyone reminded him instinctively of the giant amoeba he had seen in historical images.

Even the high elves' purifying light couldn't kill that thing at once.

"No! The space here is blocked, and there is no other exit from this hall. If it comes here, we can't escape!"

Also aware of the critical situation, Claire's eyes turned sharply and quickly focused on the two doors at the door.

"This gate looks pretty solid and should buy us some time. Anvis, can your scepter control the closing of the gate?"

"Let me try!"

Without further ado, Anvis took out the scepter again, concentrating on closing the door.

This method was indeed effective. Following his thoughts, the two doors suddenly began to close slowly, leaving only a gap big enough for a single person to pass through, so that everyone could escape through the door and close the door as quickly as possible.

Seeing Anvis controlling the door at the door, everyone in the corridor thought for a moment and understood his intention. They couldn't help but suddenly speed up again, preparing to rush through this distance as quickly as possible.

But as the crowd exploded, Pez was suddenly dropped by everyone again, and was about to be caught up by the wall of flesh behind him.

Seeing the changes in the gate in the distance, I was worried that I would be abandoned as an outcast. While Pez was anxious, he no longer hesitated and directly pointed a ring in his left hand at Roach's back.
