Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

From bottom to top.

until……

……

El and Artemis had just walked out of Rivera when suddenly, they both seemed to smell a faint, sweet and cloying scent.

At the same time.

From the distant corridor connecting to the 19th floor, an extremely tragic wailing sound was heard...

68

Chapter 68 Will...will I win?

"Hey, Boss, something big happened!!"

The surviving adventurers who escaped have arrived in the town of Rivera and brought the terrible news.

Monsters rioted.

And it was an unprecedented riot.

"Thousands of them, almost all the monsters in the Great Tree Maze, are coming this way! Run away, Perce, quickly escape to the upper reaches!!!"

As the news spread among Rivera.

The entire adventurer town was in an uproar. It was not surprising that monsters suddenly attacked this safe floor.

That stood outside the town gate.

The sign stating that the town had been destroyed and rebuilt more than 300 times foreshadowed everything.

But this is too exaggerated. Such an exaggerated situation has never occurred before. How can there be so many monsters...

But now is not the time to think about that.

As the actual manager of Rivera, most adventurers are still waiting for Bos's decision at this moment.

"Goliath might be respawning in a few hours..."

If you want to escape to the ground, you must leave quickly during this time!

otherwise.

Once the lone maze king above respawns, everyone will be trapped in this crystal cave!!

Although it is usually easy to defeat Goliath.

But with a group of people running up in such a chaotic manner, and monsters chasing them from behind, it was impossible to easily defeat the Lone Labyrinth King under such circumstances! !

"Is there a level one adventurer in town?!"

"No...no! All the Loki family members left yesterday. It's just such a coincidence!!"

"hateful……"

Perce pursed his lips.

It was a really bad situation. Right now, the strongest person in Rivera was himself, a LV3 adventurer, while the others were either LV2 or LV1.

Forget about a LV5 first-level adventurer, there isn't even a LV4 one!!

And it's even worse.

Bos had just seen with his own eyes that boy named Al from Demeter's family, along with his supporters, fly towards the corridor connecting to the 19th floor where the monsters were attacking.

That guy, even in this situation, he still wants to be a hero...

……

"Run, run!!!"

The floors of the dungeon maze are mostly connected by huge corridors with long slopes.

I don't know if this was intentional.

It is impossible to build stairs in a corridor that is full of landslides - because it is also part of the underground city and will recover after being destroyed.

So.

It is always easier to go down than to go up.

"Hurry... run away!! Hurry up!!!"

Many adventurers were completely routed, and were running up the slope using their hands and feet as they were chased by the monsters.

The exit was almost right in front of us, emitting tiny crystal lights.

In the eyes of everyone at this moment, it has almost become a candle representing hope.

In this darkness filled with wailing, howling, and the terrifying roars of monsters.

Suddenly.

An adventurer fell down with his limbs weak.

The collapse of her courage made her hands and feet cold. Her companions were completely unable to pay attention to her existence. At this last moment, she almost instinctively turned around.

In the distance, countless monsters swarmed in from the darkness.

as well as……

The extremely bright and dazzling glow of fire.

"Eh? So... so dazzling..."

"Please stand up quickly and run away first."

The sound of a girl running quickly followed.

However, he was not heading in the same direction as other adventurers, but was going completely against the current.

And long before the girl god arrived.

Another tall young man had already used a personal flying device and came to the back of everyone.

It's like a "line" separating adventurers and monsters.

Or……

City wall?

The blazing red flames were not very bright, but in this pitch-black corridor, the young man's profile reflected in the firelight looked particularly resolute and... indifferent.

"Why are there so many?"

While Al was muttering to himself, he had already ordered his mechanical assistant to launch the "Focused Flamethrower".

This is an advanced version of the heavy flamethrower.

Through compression technology.

Able to turn the flame into a thin straight line, and then...

"Ow!!!"

The flames quickly burned the entire corridor into an orange-red color!

The monsters at the front were immediately set on fire.

Turned into a huge fireball.

Under this high temperature "warmth", it eventually turns into mature coke and fly ash.

Whether it’s a giant, dark mushroom that sprays poison;

Or maybe the tapir bear that El and Artemis had hunted before, huge and swift, like a souped-up Minotaur;

A lizardman with red scales who wields a sword and shield;

There are also various insect-like creatures, such as the gunfly, death wasp, crazy beetle, sword-shaped beetle...

And various large-sized hobgoblins, giant fools, sword-horned stags...

Almost all the monsters in the area called the Great Tree Maze, which covers floors 19 to 24, are here.

even.

Al by the light of the fire.

Among the dense group of monsters, the figure of a tree dragon was also seen.

It is the strongest monster in the tree maze, said to have a strength of LV4. It usually only guards the extremely rare material "Pearl Tree" and will not move at all.

Accompanied by extremely shrill roars and a burning smell, they quickly scattered.

Al understood what was most important at this moment.

We can’t let these monsters break through the corridor and actually reach the huge crystal cave on the 18th floor! !

In the corridor.

The numerical advantage of these guys cannot be fully demonstrated yet, but if they go to such an open place.

But it really is...

There are monsters everywhere!

and.

This narrow terrain is the best place for me to practice.

Although there was a small accident, what Al feared least was accidents. The plan had to be changed anytime and anywhere according to the on-site conditions. This was a natural necessity.

Then, use these monsters to accomplish your own [great cause].

Of course, Al is not arrogant.

Anyway, there is a guarantee in the end. If these monsters really want to break through the corridor and reach the 18th floor, it will be a long-awaited... Let Bolt MX go on a killing spree.

The exit of the upper corridor was quickly blocked using drones and G-series robots.

And next.

Be serious and fight to break through yourself!

El continued to use the focused flamethrower, setting a large number of monsters in the front on fire.

This is the "battle strategy" that I just thought of in an instant.

The burns from the flames won't kill the large monsters instantly, but they will be seriously injured and roll on the ground.

And its existence.

It becomes the best "obstacle" to block subsequent monsters!

The wall of fire that quickly ignited in the distance did indeed slow down the monsters' tsunami-like charge.

But even so.

There were still some "slippery fish" that passed through the fire wall. Those flying insect monsters passed through it swiftly, covered with sparks, and rushed towards El who was flying in the half space of the corridor.

But soon.

Arrows, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the wind, accurately harvested their lives.

Artemis, holding a longbow, helped the fallen adventurer to stand up and escape, then joined the battle.

"With only two people... can this be done?"

"Will you win?!"

The female adventurer, who had already run far away again, turned back and looked at the backs of the two people illuminated by the firelight.

The fear in my heart slowly faded away, and then turned into something...

……

hope.

That is the dazzling glimmer of hope.
