The Warrior of Love

"The Queen's favorite and the dragon-slaying hero? Hey, it would be even more interesting if the Halloween Queen took action!"

Chapter 993: Labyrinth Group Battle

The current [Nameless] is no longer an unknown small force. As some people in the field said, they should be called "Arcadia".

This community was once powerful. At its peak, it connected with powerful figures including the Star Sea Dragon King to form an unprecedented alliance. It fought a fierce battle with the three-headed dragon Azdakaha with absolute military advantage.

It is said that the death toll was in the tens of thousands, and although the three-headed dragon was eventually sealed, the alliance was severely damaged and on the verge of collapse... In fact, the alliance was indeed disbanded later.

Many communities fell from their own class because of this. Arcadia was the worst off. It was taken advantage of by the enemy and the entire community was hollowed out, falling to the bottom of the social ladder, [No Name].

However, ever since Jiang Liu, Shizayoi and the others came to the box garden and joined this small, insignificant community, the strength of "Wuming" has expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its reputation has gradually spread.

Many people had already remembered "Wuming" from the East District at the "Fire Dragon Birth Festival". After experiencing the attack of the Demon Alliance at the "Harvest Festival", everyone had a deeper impression of "Wuming".

And after Jiang Liu defeated the three-headed dragon, defeated absolute evil, and took back the flag of "Arcadia", this reputation reached its peak!

I believe that there are not many people in this box who have not heard of his story.

"No name" was originally a mockery of a community that had lost its flag and name, and was also a symbol of weakness and inferiority.

However, nowadays, when "no name" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is not the weaklings at the bottom of society, but the "No Name" who defeats the devil again and again!

In a sense, the title of "Nameless" has become exclusive to people like Hei Tu and Jiang Liu, and has become a kind of alternative "flag".

Therefore, even though the flag of "Arcadia" has been recaptured, many people still call it "Nameless".

Because Jiang Liu's achievement of defeating the three-headed dragon alone is enough to bring him fame that goes beyond the "Arkadia" era!

In the eyes of outsiders, the current "Wuming" is centered around Jiang Liu. This powerful man who can be equal to or even better than the three-headed dragon undoubtedly has terrifying strength that no one in the middle and lower levels can stop.

There are two types of these "outsiders". One type has never seen a three-headed dragon, and there is no relevant record in the family. They only know that it is a powerful demon king.

One is able to learn about the true strength of the three-headed dragon from various channels, and even participated in previous wars against the three-headed dragon.

The former would only think that Jiang Liu is very powerful and should not be provoked.

The latter simply regarded Jiang Liu as a mixture of a hero and a monster, and he himself couldn't figure out whether he was admiring him or fearing him!

Such a shining image naturally overshadowed the brilliance of Shizayoi and others, so most people believed that "Wuming" was only supported by Jiang Liu alone, and ignored the fact that this community was full of hidden talents.

In fact, Jiang Liu has always believed that even without him, "Wuming" can rise again.

He even suspected that "Wuming" was the protagonist of this world...

The former king fell into the abyss, climbed up to the top again from the bottom carrying the shame, and turned the title that mocked himself into a new glory - this development is really too kingly.

Jiang Liu also understood the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and suddenly he realized that the aura of the protagonist lingering on "Wuming" was too strong!

A declining family whose ancestors were once wealthy, a small group that is about to be disbanded, a newcomer king full of potential, a returning arrogant senior, an ugly little boss, a black hand hidden behind the scenes...

As a creator, he is very familiar with this kind of work that brings together various passionate elements.

This is clearly the rhythm of a counterattack!

And to be fair, even if Jiang Liu did not join, the three problem children could still save the "Nameless" which was on the verge of disbanding. Some small BOSSes can only be regarded as "obstacles" but not "trials" in front of Izayoi and Asuka.

Presumably, the three of them could also lead "Wuming" to climb up step by step... but the prerequisite is that they don't encounter a terrifying existence like the three-headed dragon.

Jiang Liu was also very familiar with the strength of the problem children, so he could roughly simulate the battle scene of "Wuming" encountering the three-headed dragon, and the result was... no one survived!

Under the violent crushing of three-digit numbers, Izayoi and the others didn't stand a chance!

Even if it was the strongest type with four digits, if Izayoi gave it his all and had the support of others, he would still have a chance to win.

However, three-digit numbers are different. Even if it is just a promotion of one level, the power and scale are very different. It can almost be said to be a gap between dimensions.

Currently, Jiang Liu is the only one among "Wuming" who has reached this realm, and even he is only "equivalent to three digits" in terms of combat power, and has not really been given this rank - of course, this is related to his own wishes.

Jiang Liu had never read the "original" in his previous life, so he didn't know whether Izayoi and the others had also encountered the three-headed dragon Azdakaha like they were doing now. If that was really the case... he had no idea how they could defeat the three-headed dragon with their fighting power.

Back to the present, Jiang Liu and others passed through a long corridor and came to a circular venue that looked like an inverted dome. The design, similar to a box-shaped skylight, made the place as bright as day even indoors.

The site is very vast. At first glance, the wall seems to extend to the other side of the horizon. The diameter is probably measured in kilometers. Even if a city is placed inside, it will not seem crowded... Only in the small garden can a building of this scale appear.

The platform where Jiang Liu and other contestants stopped after walking out of the corridor was considered a high place. They had to go down hundreds of steps to reach the "flat ground".

Everyone looked down at the earth from a high place, but what came into their eyes was not the flat ground, but pieces of "bumps" in the form of lines or blocks, crisscrossing together, dividing the venue into countless small pieces.

That’s right, it’s a “maze”!

"Om..."

Another community walked out of the corridor and onto the platform, and then there was the sound of the door closing leisurely.

And they seem to be the last group of people who can pass the selection, and those who remain outside are all passers-by who don’t even have the basic qualifications.

At this moment, the floor in the center of the platform suddenly sank, and with the sound of mechanisms interacting, weapons fixed on the shelves rose up one by one, and a stone tablet also rose up at the same time.

[Team battle: The competition is conducted in groups. The organizer provides weapons and other weapons are not allowed.

There are monsters wandering around in the maze, and there is a certain chance that they carry a "map";

Each map is only one-third maze-like in construction;

Maps have the property of being remembered by only one person;

Flying is not allowed in the maze;

Contestants are allowed to snatch the "map" from each other, but are not allowed to kill each other;

You must reach the "Minotaur's Nest" in the center of the maze within three days; violating the rules will be considered as automatically giving up the game; that's all. 】

Chapter 994: Encounters

"Zheng!"

With a sharp sound of sword, the cold arc cut through the hard fur, and a series of blood flowers splashed out.

The monster that looked like a wolf also let out a wail and rolled to the ground, its life or death unknown.

After killing the enemy, the girl in red made a beautiful sword flower, and shook off the blood beads on the blade with a slight shake of her wrist.

"Wow, so handsome!"

Black Rabbit clapped and praised: "Ms. Asuka is becoming more and more skilled. Even if she said that she has practiced swordsmanship for several years, no one would doubt it."

"Humph, of course."

Fei Niao nodded with a proud and reserved look, her beautiful eyes looking at the sword in her hand, and for a moment she actually felt somewhat complacent.

Jiang Liu naturally felt speechless when he saw this.

Although Asuka had used gifts such as swords before, there was basically no skill involved. He simply used the power of the Word Spirit to control it. Even if he was given a simulated godhood, it only increased the power and would not make Asuka himself a great master.

This is very different from a certain justice partner who can project his skills as well.

In fact, although Asuka's "glory" is a cheating-level gift, Asuka's own physical fitness is destined to have certain limitations.

For this young lady, the most cost-effective one is the one-time gift of the release system. In addition, when using certain higher-level gifts, they can exert their greatest power... but she is not suitable for melee weapons such as the holy sword.

For those who are truly proficient in fighting skills, an amateur would pose no threat even if he holds an invincible holy sword...

Now, Jiang Liu only taught her a few quick skills to let her have a taste of it. If this young lady wanted to "abandon literature and pursue martial arts", it would be a waste of talent, because in Jiang Liu's opinion, she did not have much talent in swordsmanship.

From Jiang Liu's professional perspective, among the three problem children, Asuka is a bit "clumsy", Kasugabe should further develop her gift potential instead of learning fighting, and only Izayoi still has some potential and can be considered as a relatively gifted one.

By the way, Black Rabbit's material is actually very good. Although she looks soft and cute, her body has great potential. If Jiang Liu develops her body well, she might be able to surpass Izayoi...

Fortunately, the eldest lady also has self-awareness. She is just satisfying her desire and has no intention of really changing her job from a magician to a melee fighter.

"This sword is quite useful."

As for the weapons provided by the organizer, Asuka and Jiang Liu chose swords, while Kurotoshi chose a spear.

These weapons have a unified style that can be seen at a glance. They should be some kind of gift that can be mass-produced. However, the quality is unexpectedly good. In addition to their sharpness, they seem to have the characteristic of being "extremely difficult to wear out."

If Asuka uses his "majesty" to grant it a pseudo-divinity, it will become a "never-worn" holy sword...

But it is only temporary and will damage the sword. Weapons cannot be changed in the maze, so the young lady did not do so.

Jiang Liu ignored the hideous wounds on the monster's body, searched under the corpse for a while, and then shook his head.

"No map found."

"This is the tenth monster that attacked us, but we only got one copy of the map."

Asuka frowned: "Is the drop rate so low?"

Black Rabbit also became dissatisfied: "This difficulty is too high."

It should be noted that not every monster is a small fry like this "wolf", there are many scary ones.

Among the magical beasts encountered by Jiang Liu and others, the strongest one even reached the top five digits!

The key is that the appearance of these monsters seems to be irregular. Except for the "Monster's Nest" marked on the map, wandering monsters may appear in almost every place, and their strength is completely random.

"After all, if the difficulty is too low, the game will not be fun."

Jiang Liu smiled and took out a parchment map from his arms. One could indeed see the neat edges, as if it had been cut with a knife.

An interesting point is that this map is not static. The graphics and text on it occasionally change, as if they are echoing the maze.

That’s right, not only the map, but the maze also moves!

Jiang Liu and his two companions once witnessed with their own eyes how a high wall slowly sank into the ground, creating a new road.

“The map shows the route of the maze and the locations of the monsters’ lairs. There are also treasure chests in some places… Although it looks like it’s deliberately designed to lure people in, I have to say it’s quite detailed.

After our previous exploration, we can basically prove that the records on the map are true, but for the areas outside the map..."

"The maze is too big. Without a map, we don't know how long it will take to get out."

Fei Niao had seen the maze map in Jiang Liu's hand, but the densely packed routes, traps, levels and annotations on it gave even this smart and beautiful girl a headache.

After a brief study, she concluded that this maze could not be built by any modern designer. It was most likely the work of God, and the wisdom contained in it was beyond her understanding.

Without a map, they would probably get lost.

"But it's a bit difficult to get it from monsters. The key is that we have no idea which monsters carry maps."

Fei Niao groaned: "From the perspective of the rules, this is also a screening of the contestants. It subtly encourages us to seize each other's maps."

Black Rabbit looked hesitant: "Really?"

"[The map can only be remembered by one person] - this rule, plus the fact that the maze itself is constantly changing, means that sharing the map with each other, or even copying it... is no longer possible."

Asuka shook his head: "If you want to collect all three maps, you either have to face the dangerous monsters that appear randomly in the maze, and the drop rate is extremely low, or you have to steal from other teams... There must be people who think that their own kind are easier to deal with than monsters."

"No, it's not necessary to rob..."

Jiang Liu's voice became lower and lower, and in the end he narrowed his eyes slightly, holding his sword with one hand and looking towards the corner.

By the way, this maze covers a large area, and the aisles are naturally very wide, even wide enough for people to dodge and fight with swords in it.

In this environment, and because of the rules of the game, whatever you encounter could be a potential enemy, so you dare not relax at all;

——At least that was the case with the group of people who came out from the corner this time.

After noticing the presence of Jiang Liu and others, they took defensive stances without hesitation. However, the leading female knight showed an extremely strange reaction after seeing the appearance of the three people clearly.

He was extremely nervous at first, with his muscles tensed as if he had encountered a ferocious beast, but soon he seemed to have seen through the world. Not only did he breathe a sigh of relief, he even loosened the hilt of his sword and signaled his companions to let down their guard.

"Don't be so nervous... Since we have met this person, it will be useless no matter how nervous we are."

Chapter 995: Female Knight Feisi

Fei Si had naturally never seen Jiang Liu before, but she recognized him at first sight, for no other reason than that the black rabbit was too eye-catching.

As a "noble of the small garden", the Moon Rabbit has long been on the verge of extinction after its hometown was destroyed by the three-headed dragon. Perhaps there are still some Moon Rabbits lingering in some corners of the small garden, or there are still a few protected by Indra... But at least on the surface, the only Moon Rabbit active on the small garden stage is the Black Rabbit!

The black-haired young man, accompanied by a box garden noble, and the girl in a red dress beside him, Fei Si was not without impression...

Judging from this, there is only one possibility - distant mountains and rivers.

"Dragon slayer..."

Hearing her companion whisper something, Feisi frowned, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to salute.

"Nice to meet you, 'Wumi'... no, everyone from 'Arkadia'. Let me introduce myself first. I am 'Faith Reiss', one of the many knights loyal to the Queen."
