738 Irregular Character
In a blink of an eye, night has fallen.
For those who are deep in the maze where no daylight comes, whether night falls or not is insignificant. But for the support team who stay on the surface and have been waiting for the return of the pioneer team, this is enough to make people feel alarmed. Something to feel anxious about.
Therefore, the members of the Loki Familia support team who were waiting in front of the entrance and exit of the man-made maze began to feel uneasy and gradually began to whisper.
"...Riveria, what do you think?"
Loki had been staring at the entrance and exit of the man-made maze. Seeing that there was no movement there after dark, he suddenly said such a sentence slowly.
Hearing this, Riveria, who was standing next to Loki, looked serious.
"It's already past the agreed time." Riveria stated without emotion: "Before entering the maze, Finn said that if they haven't come back by this time, and there is not even any news, That means something happened to them or they were trapped."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Loki sighed: "After all, it is a maze that has never been seen before. If it is a dungeon, Finn and the others can still think of a way, but this man-made maze is unavoidable. It’s so shameless, who knows what’s inside?”
"The only thing that is certain is one thing." Riveria said solemnly: "That is, this maze may be much larger than we thought."
Otherwise, with the capabilities of the advance team, it would be impossible for them to explore and still not come back.
Riveria said this in a voice that was either a sigh or an exclamation.
"Although I don't really want to believe it, we'd better treat this maze as a second dungeon. If not all, its size is probably comparable to the upper level of the dungeon."
In other words, the man-made maze must be at least as deep as the 12th floor of the dungeon.
What Riveria wanted to express was something so shocking to the world.
"Tsk, isn't there just a second dungeon entrance and exit, but a second dungeon?" Loki exclaimed, "Sure enough, there are things unexpected everywhere in the lower world. , such an "unknown" actually exists, should we be happy? Or should we be anxious? "
"Don't act poor at this time, Loki." Riveria frowned and said, "The question now is, should we set off to rescue the vanguard?"
"Well..."
Loki immediately crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
Naturally, she wanted to rescue Finn and the others.
But the strength of the vanguard team is much stronger than that of the backup team, and the maze in front of them does not know what kind of "unknowns" exist that can trap the people of the vanguard team. If the backup team rushes in at this time, it is very likely that things will change. The adult sheep fell into the tiger's mouth and was devoured until nothing was left.
If the maze in front of him is really so dangerous, then, as the main god of the Familia, the most important thing Loki should avoid is the annihilation of his entire army.
Therefore, even if the attack team has to be sacrificed, the members of the backup team must be retained. This is a very cruel and last resort idea.
Thinking of this, Loki spoke up.
"It's time to do something, but it's not time for you to go in." Loki said: "We can feel that Finn and the others' favor has not disappeared."
As the main god of the Familia clan, Loki can vaguely feel the existence of the god's grace that he has carved.
This kind of induction cannot bring much benefit. The only function it can play is to let the Lord God know whether the number of favors he has inscribed has been reduced and whether any of his children have been sacrificed.
Under such circumstances, Loki could feel that although Finn and others had not returned yet, at least they were well and not dead.
"There is a high probability that I am still trapped, or I have encountered some difficulties and cannot return smoothly."
Loki patted his cheek, turned his head, and gave Riveria a few instructions.
"Send a few orcs with more agile hands and noses to investigate. You don't have to go too deep. The most important thing is to bring back the information you find."
"Send some more people to the guild and ask the guild to help us investigate some information. Let's investigate the designer here, the craftsman named Daedalus."
"We have a feeling that this maze is closely related to the craftsman. The guild may have records about that person."
Hearing this, Riveria nodded and confirmed.
"Finn and the others should be okay, right?"
Facing this question, Loki gave a big smile.
"After all, Finn and Grace are already 7, Tiona and Tione are already 6, and Raul and Angel are both 5. We have to believe them."
"Besides, even if there is an accident, someone among them will stand up and solve everything neatly."
"Don't forget, there is an irrational person in our family..."
Loki's meaningful words silenced Riveria.
Of course she knew who Loki was referring to.
However, she didn't know why Loki had so much confidence in that person.
"Don't worry, that kid is very capable."
Loki patted Riveria's shoulder and said so with twinkling eyes.
no way.
"Whoever treats that boy as an ordinary 6, his (her) road has come to an end."
Leaving these words, Loki stopped talking.
Livilia also slowly retreated and began to carry out the instructions given by Loki.
At this time, about ten hours had passed since the vanguard entered the artificial maze Knossos.
And the battle in the artificial maze Knossos was still going on.
…………
"Boom!"
In the hard stone passage, a hardest metal door fell down with a bang, blocking the way of this passage, trapping the people who came here directly and unable to move forward.
"""""Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh——!"""""
At the same time, accompanied by a broken roar, a group of colorful monsters poured out from the cracked walls, ground and ceiling, staring at the prey that appeared here.
However, the identities of hunters and prey changed in an instant.
"Breath of the Wind·Ninth Type·Weituo Tiantai Wind!"
A violent wind suddenly rose in this closed passage, carrying countless sharp wind blades, flying towards the monsters in all directions.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"...
The sound of flesh being cut off kept appearing, and the sharp slashing also ruthlessly harvested the monsters rushing in from all directions, killing them one by one.
Instantly, the carnivorous plant was split into pieces like a corpse, and turned into pieces of meat. The worms were chopped and exploded on the spot, spilling a large amount of corrosive liquid. The water strider-type monsters were either crushed by the huge pieces of meat of the carnivorous plant, or corroded by the splashing corrosive liquid, or were also caught in the storm of sharp wind blades, cut into pieces, and died without a complete body.
Lige killed countless monsters like this, slaughtering colorful monsters like slaughtering dogs.
But there were too many colorful monsters. Even though Lige had killed so many of them, they continued to come from all directions. Some even devoured the magic stones of their slain companions and became stronger before advancing towards Lige.
This was called the violence of numbers, the human sea tactics... no, it should be said that it was the outbreak of the insect sea tactics.
Under such violence of numbers, even Lige was approached by many colorful monsters.
Especially the water strider monsters, which were small in size, and their agility increased linearly. They rushed to a position only two or three meters away from Lige.
"【Magic Triple Most Enhanced Critical Mine】."
Lige immediately set up mine magic around himself.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a water strider monster touched the magic mine that was instantly buried in the ground, and was directly shattered under the bombardment of the magic mine.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
Explosions continued to appear around Lige, setting off waves of terrifying impact blasts, which not only blew the attacking water strider monsters into pieces, but also blew away many nearby monsters, preventing them from approaching Lige.
Lige stood where he was, sometimes using sword skills, sometimes using magic, and he alone blocked the monster army that even Finn, Ais and others had to worry about, and even forced into trouble.
However, the number of colorful monsters did not decrease, and new ones were replenished from the walls, the ground and the ceiling every time, which made Lige feel very annoyed.
"There must be a seedbed for colorful monsters nearby."
Otherwise, monsters could not be replenished in such a continuous manner.
"It is impossible to kill them all like this."
Lige, who had no time to continue to waste time, immediately used a big move without martial ethics.
"[Magic effect range expansion·Banshee scream]."
Yes, Liger used a range-type instant death magic.
Although Liger is not a necromancy magic chanter and does not have the special ability to enhance the success rate of instant death magic, he cannot kill opponents with a certain strength instantly, but the colorful monsters are indeed weaker than him, so they are within the range of being killed instantly.
So, when a sharp scream like a banshee crying broke out in the passage and formed an echo due to the closed environment, except for Liger, all lives present were equally given a fate.
That is—death.
"————"
All the colorful monsters that were rushing towards Liger suddenly solidified there and could not move.
It was not until a long time later that these monsters fell one by one, completely lost their breath of life, and turned into corpses.
"Take advantage of now!"
In the closed passage full of monster corpses, Liger suddenly jumped up.
"The Sky of Azure!"
Flames burst out from his body, and he pulled out the black knife that was emitting high temperature, and slashed downwards in the trajectory of the sun wheel.
"Boom!!!"
The ultra-hard metal floor was immediately shattered by the flaming wheel.
In this way, Liger went deep into the artificial maze and gradually approached the floor where the enemy leader was.
