Transcendent Journey

The four people stopped and waited for a while.

The ethereal and distant singing that surrounds them has gradually dissipated, but the little girl Evil Spirit has never reappeared.

After that, Ivan dragged out the coward who was hiding behind him:

“The little Evil Spirit girl asking for help? Have you also seen the Atrian Evil Spirit? Is it?”

Milan sorry and smiled:

“Yes, you don’t know, she really frightened me when she suddenly talked to me.”

p>

After the Milan and Ivan, who also witnessed the real face of the Evil Spirit girl, exchanged information, several wizards in the team couldn’t help but become interested in her.

An Evil Spirit that still retains a clear self is of great value to the wizard, and may even provide another shortcut to achieve immortality.

Moreover, this Evil Spirit who claims to be a priest and Saintess of Quetzalcoatl, unlike her fellow Atrians, still retains a human appearance. Listening to the meaning conveyed by her singing, not all the upper-class people in the Kuma Empire (priests are also members of the upper-class powers) transformed into “blasphemy” because of the pursuit of immortality.

Some people still choose to retain their human identity and their belief in the feathered snake god Kukulkan.

At least…before they died.

According to normal logical thinking, if these people can save themselves, the Kumar Empire, which was once prosperous, will also be impossible to perish silently.

That ballad also conveyed several key messages.

First, we enshrine the noble snake god, who is in charge of sunlight and rain, sowing and harvest, life and civilization…

This shows that the feathered snake god A series of priesthoods and powers.

Secondly, I hate living sacrifices and blood sacrifices, as long as the people return with kindness and prosperity…

It shows that the blood sacrifice of the Kuma empire has become a black pot, the main god Not back.

The third and most interesting one is here.

The god in the mist stole a pair of wings from the god of the snake, and the great father can no longer return to the sky…

“I” was born in the mist, clansman’s goodness In mind, in the wings of God… Let “life” return to the earth and continue to protect the people on that land.

The “God in the Mist” is obviously Ekhote, the god of the labyrinth, or Loygar, the owner of the Mist Sea.

Of course, according to the current situation, the probability of the former is obviously higher, but the latter is not that absolutely does not have suspicion, and it may even be a conspiracy between the two parties.

But it is hard to guess what they stole from the Quetzalcoatl. And I don’t know if it’s because of the scruples on Ehult’s site, or simply don’t want to tell them that the little girl Evil Spirit didn’t tell them clearly, but used metaphors.

But it is certain that this must be an extremely important thing, even so important that a Demi-God cannot return to the “heaven”.

Finally, combined with the original intention of asking for help, the little girl obviously wanted her entire group to help, to bring something referred to by “life” out of the “sea of ​​mist” and send it back to the continent.

Ivan and they are not sure whether this wise little girl Evil Spirit only approached them or asked for help to everyone who entered the maze.

But this is the standard Evil God territory after all. Although the strong military force can make them unimpeded temporarily, even if they are as strong as the third rank Anita and Ivan, they also know themselves.

In the eyes of a transcendent fifth-order Evil God, there is probably no difference between existence below the fourth rank.

The hope of the entire group escape alive lies in the “rules of the game” formulated by Ehult, not in the military force they rely on, so if you don’t do it, it’s better not to do it.

“We will leave her alone for the time being, and leave this ghost place safely before considering others.”

The team members agreed.

Afterwards.

Until they got through the Second Layer as quickly as possible, they didn’t see the little Evil Spirit girl showing up again.

The Labyrinth Second Layer is much smaller than the 1st floor, and it is a group of underground mines.

There are “Drilling Earth Demon bugs” that can fill the entire tunnel with just one. In fact, their size is comparable to small sea monsters.

Maybe these tangled and complicated mines are their masterpieces.

The head of the “Drilling Earth Demon bug” has dozens of streamlined tentacles, like a sticky octopus, and the soft gray black body at the back is like a stretched large cloth pocket. Before it appears, it will emit harsh sound waves. It is guessed that it should be a perception method that adapts to the underground no light environment.

Even some huge Demon Insects themselves have replaced the existence of tunnels, using their own body cavities to form various surfaces that are identical, but there are tunnels of flesh and blood in and out.

To deal with these monsters with huge size and slow moving speed, Ivan’s [Fresh Collapse Technique] shines, easily forcibly in the middle of a wall of flesh to cut out a path that is enough to pass.

When approaching the exit of the Second Layer maze.

As the “blasphemer” said, probably every wave of people needs to randomly experience the 3rd-layer test of strength, wisdom, and luck. After experiencing the test of the strength of the previous labyrinth, they ushered in the test of wisdom at the end of Second Layer:

Two farmers brought 100 eggs to the market to sell. The money they both sold was the same.

The first person said to the second person: “If I have as many eggs as you, I can sell 15 copper plates.” The second person said: “If I have eggs like you, I can only sell 6 and 2/3/2021 copper plates.”

Ask how many eggs each of them have?

For a world where literacy rates are generally below 1%, mathematics is definitely a high-end subject.

On the outside, this topic is already a nightmare difficulty enough to make countless people scratch the scalp, but for Ivan, it is only at the elementary school level.

After only three to five seconds, he snapped his fingers.

“Yes.”

Showing an IQ in front of everyone, in the team of four, Olivia, Milan, and then… Uh, cough cough, in short, pass the level easily.

The 3rd floor maze where the area is reduced again.

In addition to various targeted monsters, the biggest feature is that the labyrinth itself is composed of various indestructible mirrors, such as flat, concave, convex, and uneven haha ​​mirrors.

There is not much left of that grotesque and twisted architectural style. The various straight lines and arcs that replaced them, although they are still disordered and in a mess, are already works that some crazy artists in humans can design.

In the maze of mirrors.

Some mirrors reflect the silhouette that will jump out to attack the owner, and some mirrors are connected to the tangled and complicated mirror world, and accidentally will be completely lost in it.

Fortunately, there is a “golden compass” that points to life at any time to clear the way, but there is no danger.

In the last level, face a bunch of plane mirrors that may transport them to various desperate situations. You don’t need to entangle and follow Milan, who is now full of luck, to lie down and win.

In the process, they also confirmed that there are established rules everywhere in this maze, and the maze god Ehud also broke away from their inherent impression of the extreme chaos of the ancient gods.

Since Second Layer, the taste of order in the maze has become heavier and heavier. By the 3rd floor, it is almost complete from chaos to order.

It also confirmed Ivan and Olivia’s initial speculation that Ehud, the god of the labyrinth, deliberately reshaped his priesthood through such a ceremony, and then moved from the chaotic ancient god to the order side. migrate.

This is good news among the bad news for them.

Because.

Prepared by their strong team, the first 3-floors level caused almost no hindrance to them, and it only took less than three hours in total. They are about to face the last hurdle, which is the “choice before God” as the blasphemer calls it!

Even in order to determine the accuracy of the intelligence, they found a chance to sneak attack a few waves of blasphemers, and the results of the torture were no different from those on the 1st floor.

A powerful existence that can figure out the context is better than the crazy, weird and unspeakable.

Huh——

Riding on the inexplicable wind blowing from below, the four people slowly descended to the 4th floor of the maze, which was also the last floor.

Until this time, the little girl Evil Spirit has never meant to reappear.

It just sings that song every time she reaches a level of the maze, and the entire group who made up her mind has never responded to her.

“So… how do we pick it up?”

Looking at the scene of the 4th floor, Milan looked around and looked a little not knowing what to do.

Because the 4th floor and the first three floors are completely two extremes, even a simple path in front of you can’t wait to wind up with 18 pleats, but here is the 4th floor of the inverted pyramid maze. The smooth water surface of the boundary can be seen at a glance.

Visual inspection is about the same size as the initial 5 or 6 square kilometers of the small island outside.

Even all around and the wall above the head are completely made of flowing water, and there is nothing but water.

However.

Milan’s tone barely fell, because the ripples swaying under their feet disturbed the calm of the water and triggered the response mechanism here.

crash-bang…

A huge rock arch fully conforming to human aesthetics slowly rises from the water, and the clear water flows down the surface of the arch.

Every curvature, every notch, and every detail on the arch seems to be shaped in accordance with the strictest design standards, perfectly fitting human geometry, and even the wonderful golden ratio.

A tall and solemn building stands in a vast azure water. Everyone who sees it can experience a strong mathematical beauty, just like a national monument, a solemn and sacred church building.

People can’t help holding their breath.

Moreover, the ash-gray rock that formed the labyrinth from the beginning has become pure white marble, which seems to imply a profound transformation.

When the change stopped, a group of four returned from this extreme contrast.

Drya——

In a spell full of vitality that resonates with the water world.

The water swelled under the feet of the four of them, forming round heads and long tails. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a naïve whale.

[Witchcraft·Secondary Elemental Spirit]

“Go, let’s go!”

Ivan waved his hand gently, and the whale formed by the current waved its tail. Carrying four people to the huge arch.

In the gilt font, it is written with a spiritual text that every transcender can recognize:

“Offer sacrifices as you wish.

——The ruler of all the mazes, the fair rule-makers, the great and generous god Ehud.”

This is the most intuitive reminder they have seen since going deep into the maze, but still It’s like Ehult’s style is concise and ambiguous.

“Goooo…”

Milan swallowed lightly. He already learned from Ivan and the others the importance of this “choice before God”.

Ivan raised his palm.

The water flow controlled by the Water Element whale surged along with it, and the arch in the water was gradually pushed open a gap.

At this moment.

“Stop!”

Suddenly shouted loudly in the air, making the eardrums hum like a thunder.

Swish——

The smoky battle aura still remains on his body, and there are attritions behind him, leaving only three “Oath Bearers” Brad. Li, fly down from in the sky.

Apparently their last test is: strength!
