Chapter 279: Labyrinth of Heresy 9
The remnants of the former Sydnia, the origin of this dungeon, have settled in this place, and we’ve finally reached the 10th level.
「So this is definitely the last floor, huh.」
「Yes, it is a straight path from here.」
Sophia affirmed what I had muttered.
The floors until now were caves, grasslands, ruins, and various sceneries, but this floor was similar to the Otherworldified Cathedral in Sydnia.
Small rooms were arranged on both sides of the long, straight, and wide corridor.
The teams split up and searched all the rooms.
This floor also had plenty of traps. There were those that had been injured by poison traps, but all teams were close by, and they were able to recover using potions and antidotes.
After some time, our party, the six rulers, and their elite teams finally arrived at a door taller than any before it.
When I examined what was beyond the door using magic perception, I realized that there were strong responses, as though they were lying in wait.
「Could it be the boss room?」
「I feel a presence similar to a Spirit at the farthest back of the room. ......but it’s a presence that could no longer be called a “Spirit”.」
Sophia glared at the door with an intense look in her eyes. This was probably the Evil Spirit that Undine and the Great Spirits talked about a while back.
Everyone checked their equipment, readying themselves for the last fight.
I stood at the center of the door with the large shield-wielding Titan and King Guzhr to my left and right.
When I looked over my shoulder, King Gandalf and King Deega nodded to say they were ready anytime.
「Let’s go!」
I placed my hands on the door and opened it in one go, and we rushed into the vast space comparable to the size of the monster house trap.
I charged at the monsters, whom were once the Holy Knight Order, gathered at the front with enough force to break the ground I stepped on, condensing magic power into the Ice Bringer and swinging it sideways.
「Please be sure to kill them! They probably can’t feel pain!」
「Ou!」
The former Sydnia’s soldiers and knights were reduced to monsters, but I am almost sure that they were given the characteristics of the previous Immortal Soldiers. If I’m unlucky, they could have the strength of ogres.
I instructed everyone to make sure to kill them.
◇
Buoooon!
The halberd clad in magic power cut through the metal armor like tofu.
Making the most of the Devil Clan’s abundant magic power and high physical prowess, Devil King Gandalf went on a rampage.
Normally, he would be seen as calm, but in the end, there was no mistaking that even this King was a battle enthusiast.
Gandalf smiled in the face of a formidable enemy.
「Hahahahaha! This is fun, oi!」
Swinging the large sword with all his might, he crossed swords with the former Holy Knight.
Gan! Zaba!
「Guooo!」
The Lionkin were proud of their high physical prowess even within the Beastkin. Among them, Ryvar continued to polish his strength in fights and attained kingship.
Within the country where the strongest was king, there was no one who could contend with Ryvar. Therefore, those that could compete against Ryvar were the rulers of the other countries, Deega, Gandalf, Jairu, and Guzhr.
「Who’s next!?」
Ryvar ran around to choose an even more formidable opponent.
