Monster Hunter Gathering

"Wait... elves?"

But after they caught up here, they saw Malushiel and hesitated for a moment.

They originally thought that the one who escaped with the Farin Dragon was the man's accomplice, but why did it turn out to be an elf?

"xia——————!"

Before seeing the elves coming, Izujinmei was already furious, and followed Laos' instructions not to let the elves get close to Malusil.

"She's half-elf."

Mislen suddenly said, "The book should be in her hand!"

"Give me the book."

Mislen strode directly towards Malushil: "That's not what you should be holding."

"no!"

In a panic, Malushil pointed her staff at Mislen in front of her: "If you come any closer, I'm going to attack!"

"What do you want? To become a pure-blooded elf? Or a man? Or to resurrect the dead?"

Mislen continued to stride towards Malushil: "The maze only needs your desire. All your pursuits will ultimately be empty and will only bring about huge changes to this world..."

"Stop!"

Seeing that Mislen still refused to listen, Malushiel finally used magic.

The explosive attack immediately covered the area where Mislen was, but when the explosion dissipated, there was no sign of Mislen.

Mislen's figure teleported a distance parallel to the ground, still striding towards Malushil: "Hand over the book."

Mislen's words, repeated without expression or emotion, put great pressure on Malushil, which made Malushil think of the Book of the Winged Lion.

Malushiel suddenly realized that she and her companions now seemed to have... no choice.

If it ended like this, she and the others would soon be caught and sent to the elves of the West as wanted criminals and people related to the maze.

Even if you can dodge, you will always be wanted...

Falin will also lose the chance to be resurrected, and as a chimera transformed into a monster, she will die completely.

This kind of thing is unacceptable no matter how you think about it!

If I hand in the book now, then...

It's all over!

Thinking of this, Malushiel activated the staff again, but this time he did not release attacking magic, but directly controlled the actions of the sled familiar.

After receiving the order from Malusil, the sled familiar carried everyone on the back of the Farin Dragon and ran wildly in the forest.

"Chase!" Patadlu saw that Malushiel was already moving at high speed and suddenly became anxious: "We can't let her unlock the seal of the book! Catch her!!!"

"She created such a huge familiar, her magic power will run out soon! Catch her!"

The elf Lision, who could transform into a werewolf, immediately changed into a werewolf and started chasing on all fours. Mislen also used teleportation to keep changing his position and catch up.

"Malushil!!! Can't this sled run faster?" Chilchak shouted anxiously. He originally didn't want to participate in the battle, but he tremblingly took out his bow and arrow, as if he wanted to fight against the elves behind him.

"No! Falin is too heavy!" Malushiel was almost crying. "No! We can't be caught! If we are caught... Falin... everyone... everyone will be..."

The suffocating and urgent reality made Malushiel gradually unable to think, and also constantly deprived Malushiel of the space for choice.

The elves chasing behind him were like swords hanging over his head, forcing Malushil to desperately drive his familiars to get away. The huge consumption of magic power also caused some dizzy hallucinations in front of Malushil's eyes, further making Malushil lose the ability to think.

If you get caught...

I might be able to see the outside world one day in my long life, but my companions! Their entire lives will be ruined!

How could this be possible! Is there any other solution?! There must be a solution!!!!

Malusil's mind was confused as she was thinking, but Izuzumi suddenly pounced on Malusil.

"ah!"

Malusil was knocked down by Izinjinmei, and her wrist happened to pass by her neck. A blueprint was directly transmitted over and cut off Malusil's wrist.

"what!!!!!"

The severe pain accompanied by heavy bleeding caused Malushiel to fall on the sled familiar, but she had to devote some energy to continue controlling the sled familiar to escape.

"Malushil!" Chilchak and Sensi quickly surrounded Malushil, and Sensi immediately tied Malushil's arms with a rope to prevent Malushil from continuing to lose blood.

There is no other way.

Malushil's spirit was somewhat overwhelmed at the moment, and the pressure from various aspects made her gradually lose the ability to think.

And in the end, there was only one solution she could think of...and the only one.

Malusil buried her face in the feathers of the Falin dragon beneath her and began to recite.

The Book of the Winged Lion also opened its eyes at the moment when Malushil recited the spell.

The symbol of infinity began to circulate in the pupil.

At this moment, Laos was talking to Kabul.

"We... can only break the seal of the Winged Lion and allow one of us to become the master of the maze."

Laos calmly stated to Kabul, "Because if we don't do this, we will be sent to the Western Elves and suffer torture related to the maze for the rest of our lives."

"This……"

Kabul listened to Laos's violent words, but had no way to deny what he said.

This is the best possible outcome for Laos and the others.

Because they dabbled in the maze and ancient magic, they were imprisoned by the elves. However, the elves had a very poor sense of time, and perhaps by the time they were released, they would already be old men on the verge of death...

"Me, Sensi, Chilchak, Izuzumi... we may be imprisoned for the rest of our lives."

Laos said, "Malciel's life was long, but she could also become a criminal and eventually join the Canary team, fighting dangerous creatures like the Labyrinth Master."

"Although this is selfish, but..."

Laos stated, "But life first seeks self-preservation. We cannot accept such an outcome."

Chapter 98: The Birth of the Labyrinth Master

"..."

Kabul opened his mouth and wanted to say something but swallowed the words back.

What could he say? To persuade Laos to put down the Book of the Winged Lion and surrender peacefully... to be imprisoned for life by those elves who didn't know how to adapt?

Originally, everything could have been resolved through conversation, but now things have escalated to a point where they cannot be mediated.

The existence of demons will destroy the world... Even if you tell them, what deterrent effect will it have on those who are in desperate situations?

"us."

Laos said to Kabul with sincerity: "We ate monsters all the way here and defeated the Mad Magician just to save Falin..."

"It's the same with Malusil. She was originally reluctant to eat monsters just like you, but she's endured everything for Falin. If she gives up now, she'll regret this day for the rest of her life."

"so……"

Just as Laos said this, the maze beneath their feet suddenly shook, as if it was moving violently.

"!"

Kabul's pupils shrank, and he seemed to want to check out the situation, but Laos grabbed his wrist.

After becoming a hunter and eating a lot of cat food, Laos' physical fitness has become much stronger. After catching Kabul, he made it impossible for Kabul to break free.

Kabul could only look at Laos with a determined expression: "So! We can only choose a way... that will keep us and the world safe!"

Kabul really wanted to tell Laos that he should put the world first, but he felt strangely that Laos actually cared about something like the world...

"Do you know what's going on now?" Kabul was also a little anxious: "The maze has undergone a drastic change!!! Someone must have become the new maze master!!!"

Kabul covered his head with one hand: "Who is it... the one holding that book? The Grand Commander? No... if it was him, there would be a lot more noise now, that is..."

"The other book is in the hands of that Malushiel in your team?!" Kabul realized this: "She became the master of the maze?!"

"...What? Malusil became the master of the maze?"

There was also surprise on Laos's face.

Why are you asking me this?! Kabul shouted in his heart, but he still held back his expression: "Don't you know?"

"Because there are six of us... why did the Winged Lion choose Malthir?" Laos said with confusion: "Even so... we have to do it!"

"What else do you want to do!" Kabul asked angrily.

"The hunter's original purpose!" Laos clenched his fists: "Hunting the Winged Lion!"

"The Grand Commander and the others... came here precisely to hunt the Winged Lions!" Laos observed the labyrinth, which was beginning to undergo a dramatic transformation. "The hunters knew all about the Winged Lions, the elves, and the labyrinth from the very beginning."

"!?" Kabul's pupils shrank.

He was still very confident in his judgment. Laos was not lying, and some things were solved after getting the puzzle pieces.

For example, why Laos didn't feel any surprise after seeing the elves and himself.

But what are the hunters supposed to do?!

—In the makeshift camp—

"Winged Lion! That's really not nice of you!"

Nie Chiwu opened the Book of the Winged Lion in his hand with some dissatisfaction. He looked at the winged lion's head, which had become a little smaller because most of its consciousness was divided with Maluthier. "You actually didn't choose me as the master of the maze! Do you think our method can't get you to the surface?"

"Hehehe..."

The Winged Lion looked at Nie Chiwu cheerfully: "It's no big deal, after all, even I... want to taste more."

"Besides, even if Malusil becomes the master of the maze, it won't matter to you...to you all."

The Winged Lion stared into Nie Chiwu's eyes and said, "Because you will still try your best to replace Maluciel as the Master of the Labyrinth. After all, your goal from the beginning has been me."

"That's what you said."

Nie Chiwu raised his eyebrows: "But our desire is very real. I really want to create a new world."

"Yes."

The winged lion licked it with its tongue. "That's why I can't let go... Your desires look incredibly delicious, and you're willing to offer them to me."

"You don't care what this world will become. I can sense your unbridled desires..." The Winged Lion looked at Nie Chiwu, "But you want to get rid of me too. What a strange desire!"

"I'll be waiting for you." The Winged Lion said, "I'm looking forward to seeing one of you... Oh, Laos is one of you too."

The Winged Lion repeated, "I hope one of you will become the new Master of the Labyrinth."

"You guys... really make it impossible for me to refuse."

The winged lion gradually became silent, and the book closed by itself.

"Grandmaster, what should we do with this book now?"

Tanjiro said with some concern: "Should we put it away?"

"I'll give this book to you." Nie Chiwu threw the Book of Winged Lion to Tanjiro nonchalantly, causing Tanjiro to hurriedly catch the magic book that had stopped moving.

"I thought the Winged Lion would choose me as the maze master first, but it ended up choosing Malusil first." Nie Chiwu looked at the turmoil in the maze around him and said, "What a greedy fellow! He wants to eat it all, right?"

"Then eat it. The bait is right here. The bigger your appetite... the better."

"That's exactly what Laos said..."

"The final master of the maze... is you."

Nie Chiwu smiled brightly. "Who is this [poor person] who is drawn into this tempting [maze] and filled with desire?"

"What do you think, [Winged Lion]?"

..................................................................

"Ha ha……"

At this moment, a winged lion that was almost human-like appeared beside Malushil.

The winged lion faced Malushil and lifted her up like a trustworthy father. "Ah... I'm so happy that you can become the master of the maze, Malushil."
