The maze was built starting with the mother skeleton replenishing its magic.

"Mr. 3413." Glenn turned his head seriously to look at the metal spider on his shoulder.

"Now we really have to go out and help."

"A gentleman never meddles in other people's fates!" 3413 jumped off Glenn's shoulder. "Besides, Glenn, you're as weak as a newborn chick. What help can you possibly be?"

Glenn held the three-four-one-three in his hands and looked at what could be considered his eyes.

"Whether you can help depends on your ability; whether you should help depends on your courage."

"You do have a gentlemanly air about you," said 3413. "I approve of you, Glenn. Go do what you want to do."

"Isn't Mr. 3413 going?"

The two red lights that were supposed to act as eyes turned white, much like they were rolling their eyes.

Then it shrank directly into a metal ball, and I stopped replying after reading the message.

......

Clara floated lightly to Lilith's side, glanced at her, and said, "I'll leave it to you."

This was indeed unexpected for her, as she had followed Lena all the way here hoping to absorb her power.

Unexpectedly, things went wrong, causing the power within Rena to go berserk and transform her into her current form.

The situation has gotten out of her control; it's best to retreat for now.

Just as she thought of this, Lilith swung her longsword, but the force was weak and couldn't even break through the shield magic on her body.

Lilith gritted her teeth, remaining silent, and continued to swing her sword relentlessly.

At this moment, the crimson heart suspended above the first floor of the maze seemed to have finally reached its complete form. A shrill scream spread out in all directions, followed by countless dark red pus flowing down from the heart. These liquids, upon contact with the ground, blossomed and bore fruit like seeds.

Miniature versions of monstrous beasts emerged from the ground like cultivated humans.

These monstrous beasts largely retain their human form, with a height roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary human. Their limbs are more slender, and their bodies are still covered in writhing red flesh. Their faces are also a bloody mess, with gaping mouths resembling the Slit-Mouthed Woman, each corner of which is turned up, revealing a bizarre "smile."

Their hands were no longer claws, but blades formed from flesh and blood, looking extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, she hadn't fully mastered those powers, Clara thought.

The calamity beast that Lena created was less than a third of her original form, and its strength was far inferior to that of the witch who went berserk that night in Somlius.

However, it should be noted that Lena absorbed 70% of her power, and now her physical strength alone is at least level 50 or above.

After thinking for a moment, Clara glanced at Lilith with her cool eyes:

"Merciful knight, you should think about how to deal with that rampaging witch first."

After saying this, Klara's figure slowly turned into an afterimage and disappeared in front of us in a moment.

The small monsters roared in unison and charged out in all directions.

They will indiscriminately attack any creature in their field of vision, not just humans, but also the swamp frogs and red bees on the same level.

Harvey was the first to react, gritting his teeth and using [Alchemy LV5], causing the ground in front of him to collapse.

Many small monsters stumbled and fell into the traps, but this was not enough to stop their charge.

He's really done something terrible.

Because of Lance's resurrection skill, his level was reduced to 25, and he was not a combat class.

It's already a struggle to protect oneself from small monsters, not to mention the debuffs.

After exhausting his magic, he was knocked away by a small calamity beast at close range with a single slash, and his chest armor was cut open, but fortunately the wound was not deep.

"Hold on, adventurer!"

The longsword in Lilith's hand was crackling with blue lightning, a storm magic that only Frey cultists could use.

With each strike, sword energy imbued with both wind and thunder attributes would roar forth, cleaving the small calamity beast in two at the waist.

However, the crimson mist emanating from her heart greatly diminished her power, and she was left gasping for breath after only a few simple magical transformations.

Even though they had done their best to clear out the small monsters in front of them, two of them still got lost.

Harvey watched helplessly as two small monsters charged towards him. He squeezed out his last bit of magic power and roared as he unleashed his final [Alchemy LV5].

A drill-like rock suddenly rose from the ground and pierced one of the monsters, instantly sparking a wild idea in his mind.

As for the other one, Harvey can only gamble that he'll survive.

In the blink of an eye.

He heard hurried footsteps behind him.

[Strength Enhancement LV1]

[Parry LV2]

"ha!!"

Glenn bypassed Harvey, raising his shield to block the small beast's fatal blow; sparks flew as the blade clashed with the shield.

[Imperial Swordsmanship LV2]

Glenn switched from defense to offense, thrusting his longsword toward the small monster's throat. Due to the distance, only the tip of the sword pierced the monster's throat. Glenn pushed off with his right foot, almost lunging forward, allowing the sword to completely pierce the monster's neck. The monster was pushed to the ground before it could even let out a scream.

Afterward, Glenn stabbed his heart and head, which were likely vital organs, to ensure the patient was not completely dead.

"You are... Glenn?" Lilith, who was not far away, looked at Glenn with some surprise.

That friend of Mr. Ethan?

"I'm here to help, Miss Lilith."

Glenn smiled gently and nodded at her, then instantly switched to a combat-ready expression, looking at the small monsters that were constantly being generated in front of him.

Although he didn't think he could be of much help, it was better than nothing.

Glenn helped Harvey up from the ground and offered him some medicine, but Harvey waved it away and refused.

He's immortal now... drugs will kill him.

"Don't you feel like your strength has been drained?" Lilith asked Glenn.

"It seems not." The boy shook his head.

"That's 'Belzaha's Domain'," the witch's voice suddenly came.

Everyone turned around abruptly and discovered that Klara, who had supposedly disappeared, was sitting on the mushroom cap of a giant mushroom tree, with a mocking smile on her face.

"It will weaken anyone whose heart is filled with pain and despair. It seems this guy has a very strong will."

"Witch!" Lilith's eyes blazed with fire as she prepared to attack.

Unexpectedly, the small monsters that had just been cleared away sprouted up from the ground again, one by one, like ears of wheat.

"Is it really okay not to cleanse her heart?" Clara said with a gloating look. "Lena's power as a witch has gone berserk. If we don't do anything about it, the entire labyrinth might be affected."

Although Lilith desperately wanted to kill the witch in front of her with a single sword strike, she was already exhausted and, besides, there was another big problem ahead.

Catching her breath, Lilith glared coldly at Klara sitting on the mushroom tree:

"I'm asking you, what would happen to Lena if her heart were destroyed?"

"Are all Frey's knights this stupid?" Clara crossed her legs. "Of course a monster dies when it's killed."

Upon hearing this, Harvey's heart pounded wildly. He looked up at Clara, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his flesh and drawing blood.

Pain and hatred, mixed with boundless murderous intent, surged forth from the heartache.

kill her.

The witch must be killed.

Lilith bit her lower lip, and after weighing the pros and cons, shouted at Glenn:

"Glenn! You must return to the surface and inform the Adventurers' Guild and the Lord about the situation here!"

Lilith stared at him, her tone resolute, as if she were prepared to die.

"Countless adventurers and residents will be saved because of your actions."

"But if that's the case, then you..." Glenn didn't finish his sentence.

This time, Lilith, who was usually aloof, gave him a bright smile.

"There are always things that need to be done by us."
