Chapter 344: By Common Rationality… (Please Subscribe!)
Following the emergence of the Rock Sea, pillars of crimson flames surged forth.
Refia, through a widely expanded magic circle, sensed and locked onto her enemy, scattering the infernal flames brought by magic all around him.
The colossal pillar of fire even touched the ceiling of the Great Void.
Together with the explosive rock attribute energy, two vastly different energies wildly impacted the vast space enveloped by green walls.
Even the wide-area annihilation magic that devoured magic stones transformed the original Great Void into an exclusive realm of gold and red.
Hordes of monsters and strange wall surfaces were cleansed and peeled away… exposing the original rocky environment of the dungeon to everyone’s eyes.
The radiance produced by the magic illuminated every face, this scene causing their spirits to tremble.
“The surrounding environment has been completely changed…”
“Is this the difference between a top-tier adventurer and us?”
“No, I don’t think an ordinary top-tier adventurer could achieve this level either…”
“…”
Two consecutive magics directly secured victory, sweeping away all hostile forces, even rewriting the terrain.
Especially the rock veins summoned by Izay, almost covering two-thirds of the Great Void.
The aftereffects of the magic lasted for a full few minutes.
During this time, the adventurers took the opportunity to subdue and capture the stunned remnants of the Dark Faction.
However, the remaining members were already few in number, adding up to no more than five.
How long can such desperate tactics like self-detonation last?
The resolution of the enemies let Asfi and the others sigh in relief.
On the other hand, Orivars, as the primary target of the attack, was left looking like a flickering candle when the aftereffects subsided.
Only half of his upper body remained, completely charred and turned into black charcoal, while the cracked magic stones were on the verge of shattering.
With one last breath, Philais rushed forward and finished him off with a knife.
With a swift slash, though it somewhat resembled stealing a kill, no one really cared about such trivialities.
After avenging her great enmity, the elven girl seemed somewhat dazed, seemingly a common ailment after successful revenge.
Izay glanced at her but said nothing.
Such things can only be adjusted by oneself; any consolation from others would have little effect.
Rather, what caught Izay’s attention was the Crystal Grand Pillar.
When finally swept by the magical energy, nearly half of the man-eating flowers gathered around the grand pillar.
Since the grand pillar hosted a nurturing gem fetus, naturally, as the main body of the fairy spirit monster, it had the ability to manipulate the man-eating flowers.
Summoning cannon fodder to block attacks in the face of danger—wasn’t that only natural?
Indeed.
As Izay looked over, the crystal grand pillar, now riddled with cracks from the magical impact, came into view. The gem fetus parasitized on it was still well-protected by a massive flower calyx.
This was also the only location within the Great Void where the green wall plants still remained.
Besides Izay, Bert and Asfi also noticed the situation with the grand pillar.
However, upon seeing Izay approach, they didn’t act hastily but relaxed slightly and observed.
“—”
A wave of his hand, and a streak of light flew past.
The evil-repelling blade automatically returned to Izay’s palm after being thrown.
“Something like this… better to get rid of it!”
Saying so, he naturally raised his gun and aimed at the gem fetus.
But at that moment—sudden ambushes just outside everyone’s line of sight suddenly arrived!
“!”
“Clang—!”
Without overly strong killing intent, just wanting to interrupt Izay’s action, the metallic gauntlet struck his back.
Twisting his body to deflect the assault, the clash between the evil-repelling blade and the metal gauntlet emitted a crisp sound.
The attacker disengaged immediately, not giving Izay a chance to counterattack, the shadow cloaked in dark purple robes drifting like a ghost before the Crystal Grand Pillar.
“Izay!”
“There are still accomplices!?”
Realizing someone was attacking a step too late, the adventurers all revealed expressions of surprise.
Dark purple hooded robes, and a mask adorned with terrifying patterns.
No one knew where they had been hiding, but the mysterious figure who had been lurking in the shadows suddenly disrupted Izay, grabbing the gem fetus from the grand pillar before he could.
The astonishing agility attributes allowed the mysterious person to snatch the gem from right under Izay’s nose.
‘This is the Ability Values of Lv.7? Super fast～?’
Izay watched as the mysterious person completed three actions in the blink of an eye: feigning an attack on him, switching targets, and seizing the gem, inwardly marveling.
By common rationality, Lv.7 and Lv.6 aren’t on the same level at all. (doge)
He had always sensed the presence of the other party, yet even with preparation, he was still much slower than Him when He moved.
“Sorry, but I can’t let you destroy this.”
Carrying the gem and jumping back twice, the mysterious person spoke in a sinister voice that sounded like the overlapping cries of several creatures.
“——!”
Before Izay could respond, the sound of shattered rock walls abruptly drew everyone’s attention in the Great Void.
Wreathed and dragging several trails of smoke as she flew out—was the red-haired woman Reivice.
She was violently hurled out, smashing through the wall with her back, and harshly collided with the ground, rolling and gouging intermittent grooves with “creeks” until she finally crashed into the edge of the rock vein created by Izay.
Subsequently, a blonde figure cut through the smoke and stepped into the Great Void space!
Ais, whose armor bore only a few scratches, exhaled deeply, her gaze still fixed on the fleeing Reivice.
She wanted to learn something about her mother from Reivice, but since she wasn’t skilled at interrogation, she resorted to the simplest and most brutal method.
—Beat Reivice until she talks!
Though there hasn’t been much progress thus far.
Isn’t Ais trying her best?
Maybe if they fight a bit longer, she’ll crack under pressure!
With this simple thought, she once again lifted her longsword.
!!
However, the next moment, Ais, who had startled Reivice, did not strike again but instead gazed in surprise at the surroundings.
A terrain akin to rocky land, traditional dungeon maze environments, and familiar teams of adventurers and faction companions.
Her gaze lingered longest on Izay.
Upon seeing him confronting a mysterious individual, her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.
Reivice noticed the changes in the Great Void and her pupils contracted sharply. Glancing around, she couldn’t find the whereabouts of her idiot teammate.
She roughly guessed the fate of that idiot.
Good thing it wasn’t her who went to die…
Still, to be fair, if Ais truly intended to kill her, then she might as well have gone to die herself…
Seeing the mysterious person present, Reivice let out a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of Ais’ momentary distraction, she slipped to the side of the mysterious person.
“This time we messed up, but since the gem has grown large enough, handing it over to Eris won’t be a problem.”
The mysterious person remained silent.
Could He not see through this person’s intentions?
Pfft! Embarrassing!
Being chased by a swordswoman and having to rely on someone else to escape.
This kind of embarrassing teammate makes you want to request a replacement, seriously.
“Understood.”
Of course, despite the inner turmoil, the mysterious person responded calmly on the surface.
“You two scums wanna run!?”
Hearing the conversation, Bert instantly understood their intention.
“No, the ones who should run are you, not me.”
Reivice shot a cold glare at the wolfman after being mocked.
“Bang!” In one motion, she slammed her fist hard onto the fragile Crystal Grand Pillar.
