Even the fiercest and strongest army will have headaches due to supply problems.
If only there were a shortcut.
Her full breasts heaved, and Revis felt somewhat ashamed of the thoughts that were stirring within her.
Unfortunately, she didn't have Alfia's absolute dominance. Every battle not only drained her physical strength but also accumulated fatigue.
If this continues, even if we manage to hold out until we reach the ground, we will be completely out of ammunition and supplies.
How will the adventurers on the ground treat this monster?
"You wouldn't be thinking of finding a secret passage or cave to sneak away, would you?"
“Ahhh?!”
A sharp gaze locked onto her from behind, and Ruiweisi's lips twitched as she looked at Alfia, who was squinting her beautiful eyes beside her.
This woman is too perceptive! Can't she even think about it?
She was about to explain something when she was interrupted once again.
"Actually, I'm getting a little fed up with it too."
"This time, I'll make an exception for you and allow you to find a way out."
Rives was speechless. Well, you were thinking of sneaking away yourself, and now you're trying to pin the blame on me!
Although she was inwardly cursing, looking at Alfia's harmless face with its faint smile, Revis reluctantly accepted the blame for being a deserter.
Next, they began searching for connecting vertical tunnels along the edges of the floors.
This is already within the territory of the Water City, and there should be many secret staircases connecting the upper and lower levels.
However, what's strange is that the deeper you go, the fewer monsters you encounter.
"Strange, we were already close..."
Ruiweis found it strange. According to the pattern below, each floor's main level should be a place where monsters gather in large numbers.
But now, as they approach the lake where the Water Dragon King Amphisbina dwells, the number of monsters roaming around them is becoming increasingly sparse.
It didn't look like it had been massacred; the ground was so clean that even the fallen magic stones were extremely rare.
It was as if some enormous being had devoured everything.
After walking a while longer, they arrived at the edge of the shimmering giant lake.
The waterfall made a loud noise, and waves crashed against the shore from time to time.
Rives couldn't understand why everything here was filled with such a strange atmosphere.
She instinctively turned around to seek advice from her mentor, Alfia.
But his eyes met hers perfectly, those heterochromatic pupils that were fully open and radiating brilliant light.
"coming."
The Queen's smile gradually rose, and she sensed an immense aura rapidly approaching.
What's coming?
boom! ! !
The deafening earthquake and screams shook the air like a giant hammer, forcefully interrupting Revis's thoughts. The entire lake surface rippled with a ten-meter-high surge due to the sudden impact!
"Ughh ...
Torn apart, the three-headed black dragon roared desperately to the sky, but the message it conveyed was nothing more than a death struggle.
In the dark sky, a crimson streak of light, radiating murderous intent, tore through the waterfall and slashed down with unstoppable power.
With a single strike, the exploding blade of light and shadow simultaneously beheaded the three water dragons, the spray of blood mist mingling with the rising water vapor, resembling a crimson rainbow.
boom!
The heavily armored man exuded a beast-like oppressive aura, and his body made Revis involuntarily recall the mysterious figure who had inflicted two crushing defeats on her.
This time, her intuition was spot on.
"Ha, isn't fate interesting?"
Alfia's expression was playful.
"Long time no see, my friend."
359 I gambled my xx in the New World!
Shocked!
The moment the armored figure tore through the giant waterfall and cascaded down from the sky, this quiet space instantly became restless.
The ferocity emanating from him was so violent, he was like some kind of unprecedented beast.
Just like Alfia, with just one glance, Revis was certain that this was also a monster of unparalleled power!
boom! !
As the massive black sword in his hand slashed horizontally, the sword wind that shattered the water curtain was like a thick, heavy stroke of ink on a curtain, fiercely slicing across the black water dragon's head that was looking up and roaring.
With just one strike, this terrifying monster, whose strength reached level 7, perished on the spot.
The blood gushing from its neck was stretched into a scarlet bow by the fierce airflow, creating a unique blood mist rainbow in the world.
Wow, this person is amazing!
Even though she had witnessed Alfia's power, she still felt a genuine sense of dread.
Even though significant progress has been made, even though the warrior's self-esteem has been regained.
Yet, faced with such absolute and overwhelming power, she was still an ant.
Lv8, no, lv9!
Only legends standing at the pinnacle of history can match such astonishing grandeur.
Who is he?
Her pupils contracted, and Rives suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
18 She seemed to... recognize the outfit.
The heavy, black armor and the ferocious, sweeping attacks gave off a sense of oppressive power, like that of a giant beast.
The dormant fragments of memory began to flicker once more, and the lost personality, the experiences of that Masaka Kurenai, resurfaced.
No, that's impossible. I don't know him. It can't be!
Biting her red lips, Ruiweis suppressed the throbbing pain deep in her mind, raised her weapon, and assumed a defensive posture.
No matter who the other person is, they are not her friend.
Now that she has lost everything, only Alfia remains as a half-fellow traveler.
Bonds shouldn't belong to the undead.
But this thought had barely formed when it was interrupted by a voice behind him.
Alfia's heterochromatic eyes were wide open, the sparkling light points particularly beautiful.
She was all too familiar with that aura, and all too familiar with that figure.
Fate is truly amazing.
Two comrades who once walked the same path and burned together to illuminate the future have now met again in a dramatic way.
"Long time no see, my friend."
She opened her arms, unleashing her signature pale magic.
For a moment, the colors of this space dimmed, with only that dazzling scarlet red standing out against it.
boom.
The tall man in full armor landed on the ground with almost no sound.
This wondrous phenomenon, this powerful magic, could only be possessed by that exceptionally talented woman.
"It's really you."
The man's voice was deep and without any extra fluctuations.
"Alfia".
"Chardo".
They softly uttered each other's names, and then bowed to each other quietly and gracefully.
That's it.
"Chardo...?"
In this calm atmosphere, the only one who was shaken was Revis, who was well-prepared to face the enemy.
Her memories were pierced again; the desperate crisis seven years ago was arguably the most profound experience of her life.
Chardo the Glutton, a hero who slew an ancient behemoth and was revered by thousands, once brought Orario to the brink of collapse.
In his final moments, his will to unleash his power, even at the cost of his broken body, gave birth to Orario's strongest and future hero—Otto the Mighty.
Without desperate situations, trials, and crises, it is absolutely impossible to surpass oneself and reach heights that would otherwise be impossible.
Chardo, this powerful figure who defies easy description, he should have been dead.
But why...
Rives frowned, unable to suppress her chaotic thoughts.
On the one hand, it was due to the shock of the dead returning; on the other hand, it was due to the gradual expansion of Alexandra's influence.
"Back then, you must have died at the hands of that wild boar boy."
Alfia glanced at the somewhat erratic-looking Revis, her tone shifting slightly.
"What, did they go easy on us?"
In the final seven days of their deaths, Alfia and Chardo fought on separate fronts, each battling against Ota and the Astrea Familia.
Finally, news of Chardo's death reached Alfia, and seeing her will being entrusted to him, she also burned herself out and fell into the abyss.
