I love time travel the most!

Just as she was about to destroy the flesh wall to reunite with the others, a sudden surge of intense killing intent prevented her from carrying out her next move.

A strong fighting spirit made her stop moving and turn her head to stare into the dark direction deep in the passage.

Ahead of her, there was an undeniable and deeply impressive presence.

Never turn your back to her!

Otherwise, you'll die the moment you expose a weakness!

The sound of soft footsteps reached my ears, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

As expected, it's the red-haired female monster!

Chapter 244 v1 and 1v1

The withered flowers blooming on the wall swayed with phosphorescence, illuminating Ais's face and the person opposite her.

She did not disguise herself.

With fair skin, blood-red hair, and green eyes that revealed his true appearance, his cold, beastly pupils contracted like those of a predator intently watching its prey.

Ais confronted him.

"what are you doing here?"

"You don't need to know."

"You built the maze?"

"Who knows."

The ambiguity clearly indicated an unwillingness to reveal the truth, just as in previous encounters, and even went so far as to force Ais to speak without giving her a chance to explain.

“You don’t need to know. Shut up and come with me, Arya.”

"...I am not Arya, Arya is my mother."

Ais leaned forward, preparing to attack.

The other person clearly knew about her mother's situation, and her feelings gradually became apparent as she talked more, until now she could no longer suppress them.

"Nonsense, Arya can't have children!"

The strange woman vehemently denied it, but immediately realized she had said something superfluous and said, "...Never mind, it doesn't matter if it's not her."

She stuck one hand into the ground.

As her slender waist bent and her broad chest swayed, the sound of swirling water came from beneath her feet.

Finally, with a sudden jerk, red liquid sprayed from the ground, spitting out a long, thin object, which was then flicked away to remove the slime.

There's no mistake, it's a sword!

A natural weapon?!

The longsword's terrifying appearance was as if flesh and blood had been taken from a living creature and poured directly into a mold for forging. The blade was undecorated, and the edge did not reflect light, appearing dull and lacking any sharpness; it only exuded a sense of intimidation, as if being cut by it would bring a curse.

The Fiora, who had kept quiet, relaxed her body.

She knew perfectly well that what followed was a battle of swords. Facing a formidable foe poised to strike, she needed to entrust everything to the weapon in her hand.

It's alright, this is a stronger sword, a sword that will never break!

"I'm going to fuck!"

In an instant, the red-haired female monster launched a thrust, unleashing a series of slashes with the ferocious momentum that had overwhelmed Ais in the safe zone.

Faced with a horizontal slash that made the air groan, Ais bent down and easily dodged it, then immediately swung her sword to counterattack.

As if the first battle were being reenacted, pure swordsmanship and physical combat unfolded fiercely in the narrow passage, accompanied by resounding collisions and the heavy thuds of metal being struck.

As the intensity of the battle increased, the female monster's expression grew increasingly suspicious.

At a certain boundary.

Originally, the swordswoman Ais was absolutely unstoppable, but suddenly the rapier, gleaming brightly and inlaid with afterimages, struck with lightning speed, knocking the woman back along with her astonishment. The exaggerated force sent her feet flying backward, even causing her to lose her balance.

Without giving the enemy a chance to catch their breath, Ais silently continued the pursuit.

"what?!"

The female monster was subjected to a fierce and continuous pursuit. After barely managing to defend herself, she could not withstand the increasingly rapid attacks and used her feet to leap backward to create distance.

The round ended, and the two sides faced off again.

Facing the swordswoman who was still staring intently at her with sharp eyes, the female monster gradually frowned.

"You didn't advance to a higher level, did you?"

"........."

Ais remained silent.

However, after witnessing her abilities, she was completely different from the person she was ten days ago, and the female monster clearly noticed this as well.

——LV6!

After a fierce battle with the Dark Floor Lord, Ais broke through her limits and achieved a "great feat," reaching a new peak. The girl who had suffered a defeat in the safe floor no longer existed.

"Ugh, this is so annoying!!!"

The strange woman rubbed her head in frustration.

Originally, Ais wouldn't have adapted to her greatly enhanced strength so quickly, but after making technical adjustments while fighting the monster army with Kobayashi, she has completely mastered it.

Having experienced defeat and with Kobayashi's encouragement, the indomitable Fiora has grown once again.

Ais pointed her weapon at the enemy, expressing her will.

"I just don't want to lose to you."

"Tsk!"

The female monster glared at Ais with displeasure, her sharp, spear-like eyes regarding her as a clear enemy, and an even stronger sense of oppression descended upon Ais than ever before.

However, after the gap in strength was narrowed, the female monster was not confident in capturing Ais, so she slowly spoke:

"I advise you to obediently come with me."

"Ok?"

"You wouldn't want those small fry who separated from you to lose their lives here, would you?"

It must be said that she grasped the essence of it.

The method of threatening people is quite outstanding. Even if it cannot have a substantial impact on the battle, it can still slightly disrupt the sword princess's resolve.

At least that's how the female monster sees it.

however--

"It's ok."

"what?"

"Because Kobayashi is here."

The airheaded girl had so much faith in her companion, or more accurately, in someone else, that the strange woman was increasingly annoyed by this inexplicable trust.

The strange woman grinned and sneered, "With those small fry?"

"........."

The Fiora did not answer, but instead resolutely raised her longsword.

She was answering with her actions.

the other side.

"Hey, are you treating me like a nobody?"

Kobayashi reached out and blocked an attack from a man wearing a ram's horn and bone mask.

Just now, when the Hermes Familia members had finally managed to defeat three giant man-eating plants and reached the base of the great pillar, this person suddenly jumped out.

She uttered nonsensical phrases such as "Become her nourishment," "You are nothing but foundation stones," and "You alone cannot stop me," before summoning a large number of giant carnivorous plants to attack everyone without further ado.

They waved their tentacles and attacked anyone they saw, including the man wearing a bone mask.

Monsters indiscriminately ravage friend and foe alike.

The Hermes Familia members cooperated well, but their strength was far inferior. Surrounded by swarms of giant man-eating plants, they panicked and were at a loss.

The scene descended into extreme chaos.

"Is that you!"

Asphi knew things were going badly, and as the leader of her clan, her face burned with anxiety as she faced the collapsing battle lines.

One by one, the members of the clan fell down; at this rate, it was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out.

Moreover, retreat is almost impossible.

The moment they give up and turn to run away, the squad will be completely crushed.

Therefore, there is only one way to be rescued.

—Take down the man in the ram's horn mask!

As Asphie brandished her short sword to rescue her companions, she peered ahead through the gaps between the menacing tentacles.

With her exceptional intelligence, she deduced the enemy's true nature from a very limited number of options.

Define your goals and take action.

"Xiaolin, you take command!"

Asif shouted, pulled out explosives from her pouch, and threw them towards the center of the battlefield.

The target of the throw was naturally the man in the ram's horn mask.

The small bottle struck his body and exploded, causing a chain reaction of explosions that blasted away all the creatures in the vicinity.

Meanwhile, Asphi used flying boots to traverse the exploding inferno, and a homemade cloak that covered her body protected her from the intense heat.

"Oh?"
