Chapter 968
The Deepest Labyrinth was the biggest and toughest dungeon in the entire continent. There were seven to eight entrances on the first floor distributed in remote corners of the continent and they were all guarded by countless powerful monsters. It was a huge challenge for players to simply find an entrance and they might even be eliminated before they found one if they were unlucky. The parties who successfully passed the arduous test were viewed in a new light by others.
In this world, the Deepest Labyrinth represented rumors, sinister devils, mysterious traps, rare treasures, and countless powerful spells and equipment to the natives. There were mercenaries who partnered with adventurers in heading to that place occasionally, attempting to obtain some valuable treasures. But unlike players, they didn’t have the miraculous opportunity of reviving once they lost their lives…
“Heyah——!”
A massive shining shield streaked a dazzling radiance in the forest, blasting away the monsters with the sudden burst of violent whirlwind. The half-a-meter-long bees flapped their wings and menacingly sprayed poisonous venom to stop the human intruders. But they only lasted for less than a second when suddenly, the whirlwind shredded their armored shells like razor-sharp blade rays. Beads of dark green blood sprang up and scattered in the blustering winds.
At the next moment, a white, gentle brilliance shone and enfolded everything, purifying the lethal-looking streams of dark green blood instantly. When the radiance faded away, there were no signs of any monsters apart from the whirlwind-struck, devastated forest. The poisonous bees that swarmed the sky were nowhere to be seen anymore—not even their remains could be spotted.
“All done, Leader!”
Anne raised the shield proudly and gestured to Rhode behind her. Then, she turned to Mini Bubble Gum with a wide grin while Mini Bubble Gum responded with a thrilled smile plastered across her face as they high-fived each other.
“Yeah!”
These two can’t be cured.
Rhode shrugged helplessly. Ever since that ‘passionate’ night ended, he discovered some changes in the relationship between the young ladies in his harem. Perhaps it was easier for them to let their pride go after they saw one another naked because he realized that some of them had become much closer. For instance, Mini Bubble Gum and Anne. Both of them had similar personalities, were experts in close-combat, and often ran amok during battles. At this moment, their relationship had become even better.
Mini Bubble Gum stretched with a proud, satisfied look. After ensuring that Christie was doing well, Rhode walked up to Mini Bubble Gum and Anne and patted their heads.
“Alright, you’ve had enough. It’s time to leave now. There’s still a long distance before we reach the Deepest Labyrinth, so don’t waste anymore time. We…”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, he heard a series of loud explosions in the distance. Everyone turned to the roaring booms and witnessed bright flares, thick black smoke, and colorful, dazzling brilliances that forced them to narrow their eyes. Perhaps Christie and Bell couldn’t figure out what happened, but the others were veterans in the field. They immediately knew that it was a battle between spell casters.
“Oh-oh-oh. The show is finally starting. I’m bored to death, Leader. Let’s go!”
Mini Bubble Gum jumped up and down as she looked into the distance. She seemed as though she couldn’t wait to thrash both parties. On the other hand, even though Anne remained silent, she was obviously one who couldn’t stand loneliness, judging from her tossing the shield and leaping up the tall tree. As for Canary, Christie, and Bell, they were waiting for Rhode to take the lead.
“Don’t start any trouble. Let’s go.”
Unlike the energetic Mini Bubble Gum, Rhode was apparently uninterested. Although they were currently not deep in the forest yet, they were still in an area where ordinary people didn’t dare step into. It could also be said that none of the monsters here were easy to deal with and yet, there were still people caught in a battle. It seemed like they were either dumb or confident enough in their abilities that they could take down their enemies and the curious monsters. No matter what, Rhode didn’t wish to get involved with their affairs.
“Sigh… Let’s go and take a look, Leader.”
Mini Bubble Gum said while pouting.
“What are you worried about? There won’t be any danger with me and Big Sister around. You see—Big Sister, Anne, Little Christie, Bell, and I—we are like the best five-women team in the entire Internet cafe! There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
… Can’t you describe it in another way?
Rhode twitched his brow and before he retorted, a flare shot up into the sky from the same location and burst into the dazzling pattern of a high tower.
“That’s the Mage Tower’s signal for help.”
Canary spoke, caressing Christie’s hair as though to protect her. Then, she turned to Rhode and he already knew exactly what she meant. At this moment, Anne who climbed all the way up the tall tree yelled.
“Ah. I see them, Leader. Those guys are being beaten up so badly! Should we go help them?”
Rhode pondered in silence before looking at Canary’s beautiful eyes. They exchanged looks briefly and Rhode let out a long sigh.
“Alright, let’s check it out.”
