Chapter 131: Evie’s Strategy (I)

While Zen commanded Romu to do all the scouting and fighting for him. He was relaxed and carefree as he decided to tease Krista Dragoon even more.

"Krista, why don't you tell me a bit more about yourself?" Zen asked cheekily at Krista Dragoon who was busy avoiding his eyesight.

Krista Dragoon ignored Zen but Leila Dragoon was eager to expose everything about her sister.

"Sister Krista loves to read magic and military books. She said that one must be strong and smart at the same time to be able to overcome any difficult situation." Leila Dragoon said to Zen who was surprised about this.

"Leila, shush," Krista Dragoon hurriedly covers her sister's mouth from exposing any more of her secrets.

Leila Dragoon tried to struggle to free herself from Krista Dragoon but it was a futile effort.

Krista Dragoon was determined to stop Leila at all cost as Zen watches the interaction between these two sisters on the sideline.

'I bet they wouldn't be able to act like this if it weren't because of the labyrinth.' Zen sighed inwardly when two sisters that held a blissful smile could be turned into a deadpan and ice-cold look because of other people.

People only have greed and power in their eyes as they sacrifice others for their own gain and benefits.

Although unwilling at first, Zen has already made the decision to help them.

Help them eliminate all their enemies and those who collaborated with them before.

'You can rest assured Krista. I shall let you enjoy a fabulous show.' Zen clenched his fist together as he checked on Romu and his group's discovery.

Meanwhile, in another separate area, Evie has finally finished explaining her strategy to the women.

"Does everyone understand my words?" Evie asked for confirmation.

The women didn't say anything as they nodded their heads solemnly. Seeing that they've understood, Evie didn't waste any more time as she walked forward.

"Remember, this is a teamwork effort and I do not want to see someone going off the trail," Evie warned as she stepped over the boundary line.

Instantly, the crazy slimes in the ceiling were alerted as they fired their acid shot at Evie at a rapid pace.

However, Angela and Daphne Camellia were prepared as they cast their magic barrier to block off the acid.

Morgan Pelora, on the other hand, was chanting a spell in a mumbling tone as she held her wand.

'Now aren't the girls getting along pretty well with this coordination.' Evie smiled briefly when she glanced at their effort and teamwork.

Although it wasn't perfect, it was at least decent enough to consider this operation a success.

Not to mention, if they truly can't cooperate and work together, Evie had her ways to get out of this predicament without their help.

Her strength was even more powerful than shown and for her, this was just a piece of cake.

"How much longer can you girls keep up with the barrier?" Evie asked softly as they continued to walk forward.

The more they advance in their path, the more acidic their shot gets as the floor almost melted completely if it wasn't for the durability of the plating.

"I can still hold on for another 5 minutes," Angela said with sweat trickling down her forehead.

"I can handle for another 15 minutes at least," Daphne Camellia said as she increased the concentration of her mana into the barrier.

Given the fact that she was an alchemist, her soul power is fairly high, and can handle a long endurance barrier without much problem.

Angela was different since she rarely had to keep up her barrier or fight when it was always her mother protecting her in front. It was only until she fell ill that it required Angela to train up to protect themselves.

Thus, her experience in mana manipulation and magic spells is very vague and sometimes, Evie found out some flaws in her casting.

"Hmm, I see, continue to keep up with the barrier since Morgan is about to finish her spell," Evie said nonchalantly as she continued to supervise them.

Evie may seem carefree but in reality, her guard was up and prepared to act if there's ever a problem.

Time slowly passed and Angela could barely hold onto her barrier as the intensity of the crazy slimes continued to increase.

Instead of slowing down, the crazy slimes seem to be more energetic as they face against their resistance.

"E-Evie, I-I can't hold on any longer," Angela said with much difficulty as her face is turning pale.

Currently, the size of their barrier has been minimized by a large margin when compared to the beginning. The barrier is mainly being supplied by Daphne Camellia's mana right now so it wasn't a surprise for Evie.

"You can stop supplying mana into the barrier now, Angela. I would supply the remaining mana needed and Daphne seemed to be able to only hold for another 8 minutes," Evie waved her hand to inject her mana into the barrier while glancing at Daphne Camellia.

Daphne Camellia was quiet the entire time to stay concentrated but Evie can tell she was barely managing it with her keen eyesight.

'Seems like her limit is about this much as well. This is going to be troublesome if we have to climb all 100 floors with their ability.' Evie deducted that if they were alone, they could not even make it past the first 10th floor.

At this time, a large fluctuation of mana starts surrounding Morgan Pelora as 5 magic circles are being illuminated.

The ground began to tremble from the amount of mana being poured into this magic spell and the crazy slimes became petrified.

They knew it was going to be the end of their life if Morgan Pelora completed her spell so they panicked as they fired their acid shot in a barrage.

Booom!

The acid shot from the crazy slimes has more toxins in it as the barrier is being melted at a swift pace.

"Cough," Daphne Camellia coughed up some blood as she was surprised by the sudden impact of the crazy slimes. She could no longer keep the barrier up any longer as her mana is being drained with barely any amount left.
