Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 72 Conquering the Underground Labyrinth

As the exploration continues, Alicia and her two companions are increasingly trusting of Night City and Yosuke Shima.

Although they were novice adventurers, they were not unfamiliar with other adventurers.

They had never encountered such powerful, reliable, gentle, and caring veteran adventurers as Ye Cheng and Shima Yosuke before.

When the three of them first came here from the countryside to become adventurers, they also sought help from other experienced adventurers, but most of the adventurers who were quite capable were very arrogant.

There are people like Mr. Makoto Itō and Mr. Kuroki who are easy to talk to.

Mr. Ito is handsome, powerful, and also gentle and considerate, possessing an almost perfect character.

Although Mr. Kuroki has a somewhat unusual appearance, he is a good person, strong, calm, and reliable, making him someone to admire.

When they searched the second secret room, they had just entered when they triggered a mechanism in the room, and a huge magical beast roared and appeared in front of them.

Having just learned 'Aura Perception', Ye Cheng could clearly sense that the monster in this second room was much stronger than the first one when it appeared.

"That's an Earth Dragon Lizard! According to the Adventurer's Handbook's description of dangerous monsters, this thing is an S-rank dangerous monster!"

Because it possesses some dragon blood, it has thick skin and tough flesh, making it far beyond the capabilities of ordinary adventurers!

Compared to Ye Cheng and Shima Yosuke's composure, the three of them were utterly shocked when they saw the enormous magical beast that could be described as a colossus appear before them.

This thing is clearly not something that ordinary adventurers can handle; it is far stronger than the previous Thunder Eagle.

The Thunder Eagle's biggest advantage is its speed, and they simply can't damage this thing!

"Mr. Ito, perhaps we should leave now and wait until later..."

"Hado #4: White Lightning!"

Seeing the imposing Earth Rock Lizard roaring at them, Alicia gripped her staff nervously. She turned to say something to Night City, when she saw a white bolt of lightning shoot out from Night City's fingertip.

The white lightning was exceptionally conspicuous in the dimly lit room, so when Night City unleashed lightning from his fingertips, Alicia and the others could clearly see it as well.

A white bolt of lightning, only as thick as a baby's forearm, pierced straight through the Earth Rock Lizard's head, leaving a deep hole in the rock wall behind it.

"boom------!"

The white lightning gradually thinned in the air until it finally dissipated completely.

The Earth Dragon Lizard, a massive creature several meters in size and classified as an S-class super-dangerous magical beast, possessing a trace of dragon blood, crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Alicia and her two companions were stunned. Despite having traveled this far, they believed they had gained a certain understanding of the strength of Night City and Yosuke Shima.

But when they saw what was happening before them, they realized that their previous understanding was far too shallow... no, it was even ignorant!

This was an S-rank dangerous monster, and it was instantly killed in one move!

Moreover, wasn't Mr. Itō a warrior who was skilled in swordsmanship before? How come his magic level is also so incredible?

That earth dragon lizard died such a pathetic death. It was clearly much stronger than the previous thunder eagle, but it was instantly killed before its entrance animation even finished...

"The Earth Dragon Lizard possesses the Rock element and thick scales, making it highly resistant to both magical and physical attacks, truly a tough and resilient battle tank."

Even a magical beast renowned for its defense has its weakness: its eyes. No matter how powerful a magical beast is, finding its weakness makes it much easier to deal with.

Seeing the stunned Alicia and the other two, Night City thoughtfully offered an explanation.

However, Alicia and her two companions, who initially thought it made sense, quickly realized that even if they knew the Earth Rock Lizard's weakness, it was still far too simple.

Honestly, even if the three of them knew the Earth Rock Lizard's weakness, could they defeat it?

Obviously not. Let alone a one-hit kill, it's more likely they won't even be able to touch the Earth Rock Lizard's eyes.

"I'm certain that Mr. Itō and Mr. Kuroki are not ordinary adventurers," Alicia said earnestly, gripping her staff.

Moreover, his expression, as if he had discovered some secret, only earned him a speechless look from Lyca and Edgar.

It was only now that the naive Alicia realized this; from the very beginning, both of them had felt that Yosuke and Yosuke were not ordinary people.

Most people exploring dangerous mazes maintain a relaxed mindset, like they're enjoying a hike in nature.

Ordinary adventurers can treat S-rank monsters like trash and kill them indiscriminately, and they can treat such excellent equipment as useless junk?

They initially thought they had just encountered a seasoned adventurer, but damn, this wasn't just a veteran, he was practically a god!

The treasures found in the second room were some magical items and rare potions. Since they were useful to both Yosuke and Yosuke, they were divided between the two.

Night City promised that the items in the third room would be given to Alicia and the other two as compensation, and the three of them naturally had no objection to this.

The third room, which is also the last room in the maze.

Unlike the previous two rooms, this last room is a huge hall, with a very powerful-looking staff standing in the middle.

As for the entity guarding this staff, it is no longer some kind of monster or beast, but a giant mechanical puppet.

The armor on this mechanical puppet seems to have "anti-magic" properties, so magic not only has no effect on it, but also reflects the damage.

In the end, it was Ye Cheng who put in the effort. This mechanical puppet was quite strong, but it was clearly too weak against Ye Cheng, whose physique could suppress the dragon.

After being toyed with by Ye Cheng's "Instant Step" technique, he was finally stabbed in the core from behind by Ye Cheng, and collapsed to the ground without moving.

"It seems this thing is the most valuable treasure in this maze. There is nothing else in this last room except for this staff."

"The Wand of Salvation"—that's a pretty cool name. It seems to be no ordinary piece of equipment.

However, I don't need wands to use magic, so you can distribute them yourselves.

Even a fool could see that this so-called "savior's wand" was definitely the most precious and powerful item in the entire maze.

But as Night City himself said, he wasn't really interested in wands, so he withdrew from the competition.

"I'm not used to using a wand; I can use magic with just the help of elves, so I don't need one."

Alicia didn't take anything before, and we said we'd compensate you in the last room, so you can take this wand.
