Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Deep within the labyrinth.

Three figures lay prone behind a rock-built fence, looking down at a monster roaming the hall below.

This is a stone statue about five meters tall, with an inverted triangular body and a pair of thick arms. It has no head or facial features, and a deep blue glowing stone is embedded in the depression on the front of the body.

The most peculiar thing is that it has no legs or feet; instead, a magical vortex emanating from beneath it lifts it up, allowing it to float like a magnetic levitation device.

The passage to the deepest part of the maze is the large door behind it.

The hall was filled with corpses, including dried-up white bones and fresh flesh that had just been blasted apart by a punch.

"Blue Demon Statue," Frilian said, casually pressing down on the eager red-haired figure. "Don't move. Philon will handle it. She needs to gain more combat experience."

Along the way, Erii instantly killed all the monsters she encountered.

One of them was beheaded by her with a single strike. The power she unleashed from her slender arms and legs made the monster's tough flesh feel like a foam board, and her superhuman physical abilities surprised Frilian.

Previously, Frilian had wondered how Erii, a girl so innocent as to be almost a blank slate, could travel the world alone, but now she understood.

Long-range area-of-effect elimination skills + superhuman physical strength + pure-heartedness to the point of having no psychological burden when killing bad guys = whoever gets hit by it dies.

"Um."

Philon tiptoed over the fence.

She approached slowly from the side, gripping the wand tightly with both hands.

Just as he was about to unleash a normal attack spell on the back of the blue demon statue, the latter noticed the faint footsteps and suddenly turned around to dodge.

This caused the magic beam to miss its target, blasting the rock wall behind it into pieces.

call!

The dodge was just a feint. Under Philon's calm gaze, the statue suddenly braked and charged forward head-on, swinging out its two massive stone arms.

Philon is not a warrior and finds it difficult to retreat effectively.

So she instinctively conjured up defensive magic, forming a shield in front of her.

With a "bang," the stone statue was sent flying ten meters away, and the defensive magic successfully bought Philon time to create distance.

She used flight magic to float into the air, and from her vantage point, unleashed another normal attack spell.

Frilian had praised Philon for his incredible speed in casting magic, a speed that even she herself admired.

In the blink of an eye, three magic circles appeared, simultaneously shooting out three beams of magical energy that meandered through the air, giving the blue magic statue no chance to anticipate their movements.

Bang bang bang!

Two craters were blasted into the ground.

The third explosion came from the stone statue, and as it shattered, its instinctively crossed arms turned into fragments.

buzz~

The glowing blue stone on the statue's chest flickered twice, and the missing arm began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is the weakness that gem?" Philon murmured.

With that, she swiftly released a beam of magical energy with a diameter of three meters, which swooped down like a giant snake.

Blue stone = weakness, break the blue stone = kill;

Blue Stone < Full Body, Destroying Full Body = Shattering Blue Stone = Kill.

The super brain tells Philon it's time to use your super powers!

This is the secret weapon of this genius magical girl!

boom--

The entire hall was shaking, and the rock strata on the ground exploded and flew everywhere, like a field that had just been plowed by oxen.

pat~

The remaining half of the stone statue's arm lay on the ground, but the torso was nowhere to be seen.

As the arm also dissipated into magical particles, the outcome of this battle was declared.

"Amazing," Erii muttered to herself.

She was not a magician, so she could not sense the strength of magic.

But my eyes aren't blind; the expressive power of magic is undeniable.

The key point is that Philon only used one type of magic throughout the entire process: normal attacks.

This level of destructive power is in no way inferior to the more dangerous Word of Power!

Erii has developed the idea of ​​learning magic~

"Not bad," Frillie praised.

Philen, meanwhile, was silently reflecting on the shortcomings of the battle.

"That girl is really strong!"

"That big rock has finally been killed!"

A few seconds later, a group of adventurers appeared from all directions through the passages, offering their congratulations and celebrations.

Among them was a female magician in her twenties, whose eyes were filled with adoration as she looked at Philon.

"Don't move."

Suddenly, Frillie's voice rang out.

laugh--

It was still too late.

Two adventurers crept furtively to the door leading to the final floor, clearly intending to sneak in and loot.

But when they pushed hard, a surge of electricity, like waves of water, erupted from the door, instantly charring their two living bodies black.

Upon seeing this, the others quickly said they didn't know them and weren't part of the group, their faces also filled with worry, truly not expecting that even the door was protected by magic.

"Let me try."

The female mage stepped forward and unleashed several spells in succession, all of which were blocked by the magical barrier.

After a series of attempts, she had used up a lot of her magic power, and was so tired that she could only smile wryly and retreat.

Frillie raised her wand, thought for a moment, and then shot out a beam of magical light without chanting or any prelude.

Zizizi!

In an instant, lightning flashed, creating a standoff and extinguishing the eerie light.

In the blink of an eye, the current rapidly weakened until it was completely depleted.

Then, Frilian raised her hand and unleashed a normal attack spell, blasting the door open.

The female mage's mouth gaped open, and she looked at Frilian with great awe, guessing that the other party might be a powerful mage of level four or even level three.

Everyone was astonished and couldn't help but wonder what kind of demeanor Erii possessed. Judging from the way she held the long sword, she must be a warrior.

But her frail figure and harmless face were simply unbelievable.

"Hehe~ A rare magic book~" Frilian couldn't wait and stepped in first.

Others followed, eager to find out what was going on.

Even if you don't catch anything big, you can at least have some soup or broth.

This passage is completely different from the outside. The pristine rock walls are more like a natural cave, and the downward slope is almost vertical, making it extremely cold and dark.

It's just like a path to an inescapable hell!

But the more this happened, the more hopeful Frillie became, since the probability of getting gold was higher.

Aside from Philon's calmness and the tension of everyone else, only Erii's expression was similar to Frilian's, her wide eyes filled with excitement, as if she was about to complete a AAA game.

Prior to this, Erii and Frilian shared a highly consistent philosophy and action: complete exploration and complete strategy!

That's right, the three of them unlocked all the secret rooms in the entire maze, and even the traps and mechanisms were broken one by one.

At that moment, Frilian couldn't help but mutter, "In this respect, you're quite like Simmel."

Erii replied at the time, "Adventure itself is a kind of joy, and joy should be enjoyed to the fullest. I want to cherish every moment."

Frilian was stunned, because Simmel had said something similar before.

She realized that she had unknowingly become very similar to Simmel.

Ten minutes later.

The enormous cavern nest came into view, with extremely low visibility.

Rumble!

As the last person stepped in, the passage behind them collapsed without warning.

As they watched the rising dust, everyone except Erii and her companions turned pale, belatedly realizing that danger was already lurking all around them.

"call……"

Heavy breathing and the stench of the wind swept in.

The female magician immediately raised her wand, and the bead at the top emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the scene inside.

"hiss--"

Gasps escaped from the corners of everyone's mouths.

A golden mountain sits quietly deep within, contrasting sharply with the surrounding gray-brown rock and soil, with magic books, magical artifacts, antique artworks, and other miscellaneous items piled at its foot.

But what truly made their pupils tremble was a huge yak lying asleep on a golden mountain.
