Chapter 337: No Better Restriction Than Death (Please Subscribe!)

“Scatter the magic stones! Everyone forward!!”

Having decided to break through, Asfi immediately reached for her satchel and issued instructions with efficiency.

Hearing her words, the party members acted in perfect harmony. Each one plunged their hands into their waist pouches or satchels, hurling handfuls of blue-purple glowing crystals behind them.

In the next moment, the onrushing man-eating flower horde behaved like a school of fish fighting over feed, completely ignoring the members of Hermes’ faction as they darted towards the scattered magic stones.

Thanks to the knowledge about man-eating flowers gleaned from Izay, Asfi and the others cleverly carved out a path ahead.

While the man-eating flowers were distracted by the magic stones, the group wasted no time running toward the dim passage exit.

Asfi, covering the rear of the group, swung her cape aside to reveal what she held in both delicate hands—several small bottles filled with red liquid.

These unassuming little bottles exploded upon contact with the man-eating flower cluster, unleashing an explosive force nearly matching that of high-level adventurers casting area-of-effect magic!

This was a special explosive artifact meticulously crafted by a “Mystery” holder, its raw materials sourced from volcanic flowers budding near the northern continent’s volcano craters. A single bottle could easily fell a Level 3 monster.

Several bottles worth of this potent concoction tossed amidst the man-eating flowers instantly ignited a sea of flames within the labyrinth of green walls.

With her carefully developed high-power magical artifacts, Asfi proceeded to bomb the man-eating flower clusters one after another.

The explosions were so powerful they not only dissolved the green walls but also collapsed parts of the surrounding walls, blocking the passage.

As the captain guarding the rear, she fulfilled her duty perfectly. Even if some man-eating flowers survived the explosions, they wouldn’t be able to catch up in the short term.

And the team, following the captain’s orders, bravely broke through the man-eating flowers rushing to block their way and charged out of the green wall maze.

The group arrived at the channel exit emitting a red glow and stepped into the Great Void inside the food storage chamber.

“This… What is this!?”

The moment they set foot here, the adventurers found themselves speechless.

Before their eyes stretched an expansive space bathed in an eerie red light.

At the center of the Great Void stood the Quartz Grand Pillar, which not only exuded nutrients for the monsters but also emitted a mysterious glow, forever illuminating the Great Void.

Since the Quartz Grand Pillar on the twenty-fourth floor was made of red crystal, it naturally emitted red light…

But what truly captured the adventurers’ attention in this vast area were the massive monsters parasitically attached to the main pillar of the food storage chamber, along with countless large and small unopened flower buds hanging all over the green walls.

Only “parasite” could aptly describe what they saw.

A total of three creatures resembling man-eating flowers, yet many times more robust, coiled around the thirty-meter-high red crystal grand pillar.

Their length and body thickness were at least ten times greater than that of the man-eating flowers. Bright, eye-catching, and colorful sepals bloomed on the red crystal grand pillar.

Centered around these creatures, vine-like tentacles sprouting from their long bodies covered the surface of the grand pillar, extending to the ground, ceiling, and walls, forming a vast space eroded by the green walls.

Which was precisely where Asfi and the others now stood.

“It can’t be… Could it really be as I said before!? We’re inside the stomach of a monster right now…”

Lulune took a shaky step back.

When she was traversing the green wall maze, she had jokingly remarked that they were walking inside the stomach of a monster.

Everyone had taken it as a joke, purely for livening up the atmosphere.

But after seeing this scene… no one could laugh anymore.

“Don’t spread such nonsense! Plants don’t have stomachs!”

Perhaps unwilling to let her undermine the morale of the group at this moment, Asfi shot her a fierce glare, causing Lulune to instinctively tuck her tail.

“There are people ahead! Everyone stay alert, check your weapons, count your magic swords, protect the magicians!”

After Asfi arrived, the sound of dense footsteps began to echo.

In this Great Void, apart from the three giant flowers, the monsters dangling on the green walls, and the man-eating flowers curled up in cages, there were also many suspicious figures cloaked in long robes, their faces hidden.

“Do not let the intruders leave alive!!”

Like noble defenders whose homes had been invaded, they roared under the leadership of a person who seemed to be their leader, and all the robe-clad individuals responded in unison, raising their white blades.

…

——Corner and restrict that extra blond adventurer.

This was the task given to the White-haired Man… Orivars Yakter by Reivice.

Though he felt somewhat irked by the woman’s orders, logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with her instructions.

Both he and Reivice were chosen by “her”! They existed to protect “her”! And they were wholeheartedly working for “her”!

In terms of position, they were allies.

And their ultimate goal this time was to ensure the fetal pearl attached to the quartz pillar in the Great Void hatched. Under no circumstances could Izay and Ais be allowed to reach it.

If they reached the food storage Great Void, the fetal pearl currently being nurtured would run the risk of being destroyed.

They had already lost one fetal pearl last time; failure was not an option this time.

Isn’t death the best form of restriction?

With rage boiling in his heart, Orivars was solely focused on how to hack Izay into eight pieces!!

“Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang————”

The clash of blades spiraled and intertwined like flashes of sparks disappearing in an instant.

In terms of strength and durability, there was no doubt that Orivars was superior. The boost provided by his rock great sword to his slashing power was no laughing matter.

On the other hand, when it came to technique and agility, Izay had the upper hand. His spear, weaving like divine winds, formed an intangible domain, blocking every attack while repeatedly piercing through defenses, drawing bloodlines across the enemy’s body.

The battle between the two was far from evenly matched.

Anyone with half a brain watching from the sidelines would conclude that Izay had the advantage.

Even just looking at the injuries sustained.

The almost unscathed Izay looked far more relaxed compared to the heavily wounded Orivars.

For a result that was already foreseen, Izay remained as calm as still water.

Speaking of close combat… He, Izay, had never been inferior to anyone! (doge)

The brute before him who relied solely on brute force to swing his weapon—if his ability values hadn’t reached the Heroic Realm, Izay wouldn’t even spare him a glance.

After all, what era was this? Who still fights by directly using ability values in such a reckless manner?

It’s outdated!
