His eyes grew deep as Lin Que gazed at the river of time and space that existed only in his mind.

Using Liu in front of him as a reference point, the scene before Lin Que's eyes began to flow backward.

After killing Jaluo in the man-made maze, working for the wealthy mistress, Lin Que came to visit, and getting up in the morning to do daily exercise.

Every little thing Liu had experienced was replayed in Lin Que's eyes, and time began to rewind rapidly.

One day ago, three days ago, seven days ago, a month ago... Finally, the scene before Lin Que's eyes brought him back to five years ago.

"found it."

Hearing the booming sound caused by the explosion of a large number of fire stones, Lin Que took a step forward.

The next instant, he appeared in the underground city.

...

The tremors caused by the firestone did not subside for a long time, and the sound of collapsing rubble echoed from afar.

Pushing aside the stones covering her, Liu stood up groggily.

Her gaze swept around, and what she saw was a scene of devastation, with numerous pits and holes in the ground and floorboards.

"Is everyone alright?!"

“That was a close call~”

"It really was a trap. Using firestone as a bomb is such a common trick. How ridiculous."

......

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the voices of the Astrea Familia members reached Ryu's ears.

Although some people appeared to have sustained minor injuries, in the end, everyone was unharmed.

"...So it was all just an illusion after all?"

Liu stretched out her palm and rubbed her temples.

For some reason, strange images have been flashing through my mind ever since the explosion.

The dungeon was so badly damaged that it gave rise to terrifying monsters that killed Alisha, Kaguya, and others.

Thinking of that repulsive image, Ryu shook her head, trying to banish it.

"It seems the explosion was so terrifying that it made me have bad associations."

"No matter what, everyone..."

"Why are you still alive, you bastards of the Astrea Familia!"

Just as Ryu finished talking to himself, a roar suddenly came from not far away.

Ryu looked up, her sharp gaze piercing through the thick smoke mixed with sparks, and looked at the cat-man standing on the other side.

That was an enemy who had not yet lost his arm and ear and still looked quite young.

Although the other person's tone was full of anger and hatred, their face showed even more visible fear.

"How many fire stones do you think we've thrown in here?! Why can't they kill you all?!"

"How can it be......"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Liu suddenly widened her eyes, noticing something was amiss.

She had seen this scene before in the memories that had just surfaced.

If I remember correctly, Alexandra, who was standing not far away, would then say...

"You've really made a big commotion, Jaluo."

Brushing the dust off her clothes, Alisha held her longsword and aimed it at the members of the Rudra Familia in front of her.

"But your schemes end here."

"We must end the dark factions and this sinful age here."

"No...that's not right!"

Liu's pupils contracted to pinpoints, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"It's not a hallucination! It's exactly the same!"

"This absolutely cannot be a hallucination!"

"This is... a memory from the future!"

......

ECHO is off.

Chapter 260 First Encounter with the God of War (Part 2)

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Liu suddenly utter these inexplicable words, a girl with long black hair who looked pitiful cast her gaze over.

"Silly elf, what's wrong with you?"

"Could it be that the explosion just now... blew his brains out?!"

"This is not the time to argue about these things! - Kaguya!"

Ryu's face showed anxiety: "Everyone! Listen carefully to what I'm about to say!"

"The explosion just now caused too much damage; a new dungeon will soon be created..."

what--!

Just as Ryu was about to warn the others, cries from the dungeon rang out first.

It was an extraordinary, inorganic high-pitched sound, as if a blade were gliding across a taut silver string.

In just a moment, the sound activated the adventurer instincts of everyone present, sending chills down their spines.

Bang~!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a wide and long crack appeared deep within the massive wall that had been destroyed by the explosion not far away.

While emitting hot steam containing high temperatures, a nauseating purple liquid flows out from it.

"Oops!"

Faced with this scene that was exactly the same as in her memory, Ryu couldn't care less about reminding the others.

Following her body's instincts, she lunged at the human girl beside her.

"Noyin! Get out of the way!"

boom--!

At the same moment that Liu led Noin away from the original spot, three huge claw marks appeared on the ground.

"what!"

The orc Niz, who was not far away, stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise.

"What's going on! A monster is attacking...?"

"Get away!"

The wooden sword that flew at lightning speed struck Niz, sending her flying.

boom--!

Deep scratches reappeared on the ground, leaving three deep cuts.

"Everyone be careful!"

In a mere second or so, two groups of soldiers were attacked by unknown forces.

As the leader of the Astrea Familia, Alyssa was the first to realize what was happening and issued a warning.

"The monster is extremely fast, front-line troops be careful to intercept it!"

"Don't try to tough it out!"

At the same time, Ryu's notification sounded: "The monster's attack can ignore defense!"

"Astay! Get out of the way!"

"I'll listen to Liu!"

As soon as Ryu finished speaking, Alicia, who had been giving orders just a second ago, changed her mind.

"Abandon defense! Dodge as fast as you can!"

"what?!"

The dwarf girl, who was about to raise her shield, paused, dropped the heavy shield in her hand, and rolled to the side.

boom--!

Another roar resounded, and the shield, along with the ground, was torn into several pieces by the indestructible claws.

"Ryu! What other information do you have?!"
