Manga Born to Be King

　　The team rushed down the long stairs in an instant and reached the next floor.The amazing speed of travel made Raul sigh, not knowing whether it was out of excitement or fear.

　　Beside him, Finn looked around on alert, narrowing his blue eyes.

　　"It seems that the new kind of monster... didn't appear."

　　Ais used magic so many times, but the larvae-type monster that would be attracted by magic did not appear.

　　Finn and the team rushed through the floor where the monsters had temporarily stopped appearing—the maze that was quiet and even a little eerie, and licked his thumb.

　　"Let's see what's coming?"

　　He saw a sign of an abnormal condition from the sore thumb, and smiled.Soon, Finn's expectations came true, and a group of larvae-type monsters appeared on the path of Ais and the others.

　　"Yes, it's a new species!"

　　"No, wait, that's..."

　　Among the larvae-type monsters that flooded the wide passage, there was a large larva with a particularly large body, with a blue-purple hooded robe swaying on its back.

　　"It's on the 24th floor..."

　　The existence that covered the whole body with cloth and wore a mask with gloomy patterns awakened Ais' memory.

　　When Ais fought the eccentric Reeves, the man picked up the "orb foetus" and took it elsewhere, most likely as her accomplice.

　　"Is it a human race?"

　　The man's limbs were covered with boots and silver metal gloves, and he really took on the shape of a human.Tsubaki also twisted his right eye suspiciously when he saw the strange being standing on the monster without being thrown off.

　　Facing Ais and the others who were running non-stop, the man in the hooded robe stretched out his right arm.

　　In line with his movements, the group of larvae-shaped monsters was arranged in several rows, and the height of the head was adjusted to form the upper, middle, and lower sections like a ladder.

　　"Kill them."

　　The next moment, the larval monster suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of corrosive liquid.

　　"Change direction! Run into the horizontal hole!"

　　As soon as the tsunami-like large amount of corrosive liquid rushed towards Ais and others, Finn immediately issued an order to let the team escape into the horizontal hole of the passage at the critical moment.

　　Riveria was the last refuge, and behind her, there was a scene like sludge flowing into a blood vessel.In the channel filled with monster body fluids, the walls and ceiling were melted in an instant, and with the rustling sound of rustling humming, a pungent stench and billowing smoke were produced.

　　"Shot at the same time as rot and corrosive liquid..."

　　Raul's expression stiffened and he groaned.

　　The monsters under the command actually launched a concentrated artillery fire.Even Ace's wind can't be blocked by a little power.

　　Facing the flushing passage, even the labyrinth was melted together, making it impossible to defend against the attack, and the face of the supporters turned blue.

　　"Stand up, it's coming!"

　　Hearing the footsteps of many worm feet swarming from the depths of the corroded passage - the bombardment site, Raul and the others hurriedly stood up.Under the urging of Finn, the team was led by Ais and rushed to the front of the horizontal point.

　　"Can you manipulate the new species like an army... Is that man in robes the same kind as that woman?"

　　Finn ran with the spear in hand, and Ace heard his whisper, and her brows twitched.

　　The same as that woman—Rives, that is, a weirdo.Thinking that the other party, like that woman, can wield colorful monsters, the girl was in a state of turmoil, and Finn continued, "But they are really elusive."

　　"In the end, what kind of person is that person?"

　　"To put it simply, it's the animal trainer."

　　"What, are you saying that he can control such a powerful monster!"

　　Tsubaki was taken aback by Riveria's straightforward answer.

　　Hearing that man was absurd enough to control the army of deep-seated monsters, Raul and the others gasped. When Tsubaki and them were all shocked, the group of larvae monsters reappeared in the forward direction.

　　"ambush!"

　　The simultaneous shelling of the corrosive liquid engulfed the screams of the supporters.Faced with the attack that had just re-enacted, Ais and the others had to change their direction.

　　"Again, it appeared again!"

　　"It's coming at three o'clock!"

　　Seeing the larvae-type monsters swarming everywhere, Raul and his supporters almost screamed.The sound of shelling, the stench, and the dying screams of the dissolved monsters resounded all around. Ais and the others obeyed Finn's instructions and escaped on the 53rd floor.

　　"Don't let them run away, Worm."

　　Men in hooded robes chased them with a group of larvae monsters, and led many piranhas in their pursuit.

　　"I was induced..."

　　"I never imagined that monsters would use tactics against us."

 …  

　　Riveria found that the location of the monster's deployment was intersecting with their escape route, her cheeks twisted, and Finn nodded to answer her.

　　The larvae-shaped monsters led by the hooded robes limit the team's forward path. It's not wrong. The enemy wants to push the team into a corner.

　　There is a feeling that the siege net is getting narrower and narrower. Could it be that all this is the enemy-weird's strategy?Ais and the others felt a chill while dripping sweat, as if they had been forced into a dead end with no way out.

　　(But, what does that person seem to be looking for? Is it Ace?)

　　When the entire squad was full of anxiety, only Finn glanced behind.

　　The man in the hooded robe stood on top of the fast-running larvae-shaped monster as a commander. Even if it was covered by the mask, Finn could still sense the movement of the other party's perspective and the feeling of his sight.

　　Finn glanced at the blond and golden-eyed girl, lost in thought. At this time, she was still running ahead, blocked by Finn and others.

　　Is the other party's goal the same as that of Rivis, to capture Ais alive?Or does the other party regard their Loki Familia as a hostile force and want to annihilate them?

　　Finn's eyes crossed with the hooded robe man for a moment, and his eyes became sharp.

　　"Finn, we're running out of nowhere!"

　　"...".

Chapter 464

　　"Finn, we're running out of nowhere!"

　　"..."

　　Seeing that the team was led by the enemy's nose and ran away in the direction the other party wanted, Riveria said loudly.Finn spread out the vast map on the 53rd floor in his mind, and raised his head as soon as he grasped the current location of the team and the geographical information in the vicinity.

　　"Turn left, Ace!"

　　Ais turned into a road from several passages, and saw a single long and wide passage ahead.After the team moved about halfway down the channel, Finn shouted: "Attack! Turn around!"

　　Unexpected instructions frightened Raul and others - but they still believed what the leader said.

　　They gritted their teeth, suppressed their escaped legs, and turned around.After the avant-garde Ais and the defender Riveria quickly switched positions, the hooded man led the monster home team and appeared in the distance on the road they had run all the way.

　　Seeing the terrifying army of monsters, Ais stepped forward and increased her magic output.

　　"Three shields with six, five and seven cards side by side."

　　Hearing the head of the regiment shouting urgently in real time, the regiment members have already complied with it like a conditioned reflex.The three supporters other than Raul tore off the large shield mounted on the backpack, stood in front of the enemy, and lined the three shields closely together.

　　"Ace!"

　　Finn shouted immediately, and Ace glanced behind her, first staring, then understanding everything.She charged her knees hard and did a backflip.

　　Ais smashed the ground of the dungeon and jumped to her back——then she hit the shield instead of the wall.She stepped on the large shields of the supporters lining the wall with her boots, and raised the sword of despair.

　　The air flow ups and downs, and the silver sword vibrates.The expressions of the supporters were all tense because of the impact that was about to take place in the next moment. Ais' waist sank violently, and Raul rushed over with his shoulders, using his whole body to support his companion's body.

　　The next instant, Ais' lips read the name of the move.

　　"Microwind."

　　She kicked the shield and the Wind Ballista flew forward.The hooded robed man swayed his shoulders.The strong wind spiral arrow bounced back the large shield that served as a support, and flew away from the string.Only then did the geek know that he was lured into a single path with nowhere to escape, and in the face of Ais' approaching killer move, he shouted: "Giant insect!"

　　The larvae-type monsters immediately fired at the same time.The huge current of corrosive liquid collided fiercely with the strong wind spiral arrow, and a flash of wind immediately defeated the opponent.

　　Seeing that Ais' ultimate move just pushed back the cannonball and quickly approached, the hooded and robe man hurriedly dodged.The masked man jumped to the corner of the zenith of the passage, and below him, the spiral arrows of the strong wind engulfed a large group of monsters.The monsters lined up in a straight line were pierced and wiped out in one breath, and then a ferocious storm blew against the blue-purple hooded robes.

　　Beaten by the shock wave, there was a whisper from under the mask.

　　how can that be.

　　"It took me a while."

　　The hooded and robed man floating in the sky was attacked by the spear.When Ais rushed to the farthest point of the passage and shattered the labyrinth, Finn followed her ultimate move and attacked without giving the enemy time to calm down.

　　Seeing the indestructible silver spear stabbed at him, the hooded robe man waved his metal gloves and barely bounced back.

　　"It seems that there is a gap in strength between you."

　　The opponent kicked the wall and hit the ground, and Finn fought him in close combat.In the face of the spear's random stabs, the opponent desperately defended with metal gloves.Encountered with Finn's spear skills, the enemy can't even counterattack.

　　The monster in front of him is weaker than Rivis.Finn played against the red-haired woman on the 18th floor, and he saw it right away.

　　The continuous attacks of the little people stabbed out from the bottom of the field of vision, and also accelerated the speed, so that the hooded robe man couldn't help but shout out: "Piranha!"

　　Countless yellow-green tentacles shot out from the ground, as if to defeat the pursuit of the spear.When Finn stepped back, several piranhas came rushing from the horizontal hole vacated by the single road.

　　Countless tentacles perforated the labyrinth, flew out from the ceiling, walls and ground, and rained yellow-green raindrops from all directions.Finn turned his spear like a whirlwind to block all attacks, and the hooded robe took the opportunity to counterattack and pounced on him.

　　The high-speed attack and defense made the surrounding people unable to keep up. At the far end of the passage, Ais blocked the larvae that was killing her, and the melee sounded; Guns and silver fists come and go, and the battle is fierce.

　　Then, the hooded man in the robe accepted the cover of the piranha, launched a concentrated attack of tentacles, and planned to pursue it while he was victorious—it was too late.

　　As if retaliating with a support shot, an arrow pierced the shoulder of the hooded robe.

　　"Shoot, shot..."

　　Far behind Finn, Raul said blankly with his bow raised.The weirdo immediately pulled the arrow from his shoulder and shattered it with a squeak.

　　"Useless?"

　　"No, well done, Raul."

　　The male member let out a wail, and Finn smiled at him, killing off several piranha tentacles at once.In the next instant, the red hakama trousers dashed across the path opened by the spear.

　　"Look at this - it's okay to cut it?"
