A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

"Just kidding, just kidding. A "cursed" servant like you wants to be my brother, but I don't want to! When I think about the fact that I'm related to you by blood, I feel sick and want to vomit!"

Bacca ignored the ridicule of the man named Dix. Dix said a lot but found that Bacca had no reaction, so he stopped.

"So, what the hell are you doing? Now I'm not comfortable moving the monster outside."

"I have locked up the Loki Familia who have been snooping around in our artificial maze."

"Hey, hey... why haven't I heard you say you want to provoke them!" Dicks looked at the water film on the pedestal and saw Ais, Lefiya and others running anxiously.

By hiding pale flowers in statues or reliefs in the maze, the scenes captured by the flowers can be reflected on the water film, allowing real-time monitoring - this is a good thing brought by weirdos like Revisited.

"Dix, you've come just in time. The [Fierce Wolf] and the two elves from the [Loki Familia] are running around in the maze. Go and deal with them."

"Don't order me around... Aren't there still monsters and that female monster? Ask them to figure out a solution."

“That disgusting female monster doesn’t listen to anyone’s instructions… If you let this group of people make trouble here, not to mention the smuggling of monsters, even your “low-level fun” may not be able to continue…” Baka stared into Deeks’ eyes.

Dex laughed, "Well, there's really nothing I can do. I'll just do it. Although I don't want to have anything to do with the [Loki Family], this is our home after all..." In his heart, he was actually concerned about his monster smuggling business and the "little pet" he was keeping in captivity.

"Give me a new gun. I came to you for this... and you sent me on an errand."

"It's over there, take whatever you want."

"As expected of a master with the ability to develop [mystery], your cursed weapons are truly foolproof."

Dix pulled up a spear that was standing by the wall.

This is a blood-red spear with a deformed and twisted tip. It exudes a gloomy atmosphere. Needless to say, it is also a cursed weapon.

Dex swung his weapon a few times and tapped his shoulder with the butt of the gun in satisfaction. "Then I'll go. Hunt for the Loki Familia."

Baka nodded silently and continued to monitor the members of Loki's family in the water film. His expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the figure on the water film angrily.

Someone destroyed the structure of the maze and forced his way in.

"!?"

That person actually noticed my gaze the first time and poked his head over -

The flowers are destroyed!

"Hey, Dix--!" Bakka called Dix's name nervously.

He felt that the guy who came in was the most dangerous one and needed to be dealt with first!

But Dex had already walked away, leaving Baka alone to watch the man continue to destroy his "eyes" and go deeper and deeper into the man-made maze.

Something bad is going on!

------------

After Serven entered the artificial maze, he immediately noticed strange sights.

Although it was supposed to be a statue of a dead object, Serven could vaguely feel the gazes on him from it.

He walked forward and took a closer look. There was actually a pale little flower.

Wait! I seem to have seen this flower in the granary on the 24th floor!

In other words - the gaze you feel is very likely real, and someone is observing you through this!

He spread out his Observation Haki and soon discovered hidden "eyes" on some flower carvings.

"It's interesting~"

Serven couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, he sensed the breath of an acquaintance. With the expansion of his observation Haki, it was as if he had opened a small map, and he soon met the acquaintance.

"——! Who is it!?" Lefiya looked at the passage ahead with a serious expression, and Filweiss was also ready for battle.

"Lefiya, it's me." Serven walked out from the passage. "Hello, Miss Felweiss."

"Serven!" Lefiya shouted in surprise, trotting to 883 Serven, "Captain, Captain, he's injured! He's fallen to a lower floor now!"

Fierweiss looked at Lefiya's excited reaction with some surprise. She looked at Serven, "Do you know me?"

"Yes! I got your information from Lefiya and Loki." Serven answered Filweiss's question first, then looked at Lefiya, "Finn is injured? Where is he now?"

"The leader was slashed by the female monster we met before, and now Raul is taking him to escape into the cave."

"Okay, I'll go find Finn then. You can leave here via the route behind me. I've left a mark. See you later!"

Upon hearing that Finn was injured, Serven naturally became nervous. He hurriedly said goodbye to Lefiya and Filweiss, then found a vertical hole in the maze and jumped down.

The depth of the vertical holes is naturally different, and Serven did not find any trace of Raul and others at the beginning.

He quickly shuttled through the artificial maze, but was also blocked by some "doors" that suddenly fell.

He didn't dwell on it too much, but continued to look for traces of Finn and the others.

Until he finally discovered that a large number of Piranha Plant monsters gathered in a cave on the floor, and he also heard the voice of a crazy woman shouting Finn's name -

found it!

Serven headed in that direction and indeed found Raul and others who were fleeing.

Raul is fighting with the Piranha Plant, and the catman Angie has been injured!

The enemy Valetta is getting closer and closer——

At the critical moment, Serven appeared!

"Captain, please cheer up!"

After Raul jumped down from the vertical pit with Finn, he cried out in grief as he saw Finn breathing weakly and falling into coma.

He used all the elixirs he carried with him on Finn, but Finn's wounds continued to bleed.

"No, the wound can't heal--!" Raul's voice was filled with tears.

"It should be a "curse"..." Seeing that Finn's wound could not heal, Angie bit her lip hard.

"What kind of curse is this... When did it happen... We didn't feel any magic power!"

"Calm down, Raul!" Angel ran away beside Raul while recalling and analyzing, "The sword of that woman should be a special weapon, infused with a "curse"..."

Raul's face turned sad. "Doesn't that mean..."

"Well, if the curse is not lifted, the wound cannot be healed regardless of the tools or magic used..." Angel's words also trembled with grief.

"——We must escape from this maze as soon as possible!" she concluded.

Raul's face turned pale. Without a leader, how could they escape from this place full of terrible enemies and monsters? Without a map or a goal, they didn't know where they were, nor where the exit was.

Senior adventurers like Ai Si and Grace are not here either. What can we do relying on just ourselves?

"Finn--n! Where the hell have you been!"

“Don’t die before I find you! I will kill all your companions in front of you, and then kill you last. Let you experience despair! Hahahaha——!”

Valetta's voice echoed in the maze, and she had already caught up.

Although judging from the sound, she was still some distance away from Raul and the others, Raul felt his scalp tingling for a moment, as if death was approaching.

"Raul, cheer up!"

As soon as An Qi and the others jumped down the vertical hole, they began to hide consciously, but the monsters hidden in this artificial maze slowed down their escape.

"Raul, suppress the three monsters on the right!" Angel herself killed the monsters on the left. While commanding and fighting, she also had to observe the escape route.

"No, there's another dead end ahead!"

Angel then led her companions to turn around again, but Valetta's voice appeared not far from the entrance.

"Finn~, are you there? 々'!"

A large number of new monsters rushed into the passage and pounced on everyone with their fangs and claws bared.

——There is no hope anymore.

Raul took a deep breath, walked to the back of the team, and stood in front of all the monsters.

"Put down the commander and prepare for battle!" He rushed out first!

An Qi also clenched her sword and charged into the monster group. The other members were ready to fight to the death.

While fighting the giant monster that looked like a water strider, Angie kept an eye on Valetta's movements. The woman stood in the middle of the monsters, and the monsters took the initiative to avoid her. It was obvious that she had some special way to avoid the monsters' attacks.

She held a black sword in her hand, a cruel and complacent smile on her face, admiring the battle of the members of Loki's family.

Suddenly, her eyes changed, and she swung her sword and chopped at Raul. Raul was in a stalemate with the monster and could not defend himself. The sword went straight to Raul's neck. If it hit him -!

An excited and bloodthirsty smile appeared on Valetta's face.

Angel's face changed and she rushed towards Raul, blocking Valetta's sword at the critical moment.

However, the huge power of the Lv.5 adventurer made her fail in an instant. She lost her balance and retreated repeatedly under the impact of the huge force.

The monster attacked, and Valetta refused to let her go easily—

Under the double attack of the monster and the enemy, An Qi was forced to choose to attack Valetta. The monster attacked her from behind, and its sharp claws tore her flesh and blood. She was also unable to completely defend against Valetta's attack, and her abdomen was pierced by the enemy's long sword.

An Qi took a few steps back. This wound was the same as the one that Captain Finn had. It was also an unhealable wound and continued to bleed.

Spell weapons!

"Angie!" Raul and other members cried out in grief, but they were all entangled by the monster and could not be rescued.

All they could do was watch An Qi collapse to the ground, and watch the enemy approaching An Qi.

At the moment when her life was about to come to an end, Angel looked back at her companions who were still fighting. She thought of the eccentric main god, the three big bosses of the clan, the expressionless Ai Si, and - the swordsman who killed Goliath with a slash of his sword!

Her blood became hot. Yes, how could she fall down at this time!

Valetta, who was originally sure of victory, did not expect Angel to counterattack. The sword stabbed at her quickly. Although she dodged in time, her chest was still cut.

"you wanna die--!"

Valetta became furious for a moment, but she found that the cat-woman in front of her smiled with relief.

"...?!"

She turned quickly and saw a swordsman with long white hair crushing the monsters blocking his way and rushing towards her.

She quickly held her sword horizontally to block, but the adventurer, with the huge potential energy in the air, chopped down fiercely, directly chopping Valetta and making her roll several times on the ground.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it--!" Valetta couldn't help but curse. Just when she was about to kill Finn, someone came out to sabotage her!

She got up from the ground. Serven had already dealt with several monsters and helped Angie up.

"【Transcendent】——! Aren't you Lv.5——!?" Valetta let out a piercing roar. She couldn't understand why Serven's power completely crushed her. It was like being slapped in the face by the giant floor lord Goliath.

"Shut up." Serven responded coldly. While continuing to help the team members eliminate the monsters, he looked towards the end of the passage to check on Finn's condition.

The captain who used to be full of vigor and vitality and capable of making strategic plans, now looked weak and his front was torn by hideous wounds. If it weren't for the physical fitness of a Lv.6 adventurer, he might have passed away.

His expression remained calm, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes that did not burst out.

However, the attacks faced by this group of monsters became increasingly fierce. A large number of them died in the blink of an eye, and the pressure on Raul and others to fight back suddenly decreased.

Valetta intended to launch a sneak attack while Serven was fighting the monster.

"¨～ Serven!" Anqi, who was supported by Serven and leaning against Serven's arms, reminded him.

In fact, there was no need for Angie to remind him. All the enemy's movements were captured by his observation Haki. Serven beheaded the monster with a single sword, and faced with Valetta's thrust, he swept it with his foot -

Seeing that Serven didn't use a weapon to defend, Valetta took the opportunity to change his tactics, changing from stabbing to slashing.

clang--!

Her weapon hit Serven's foot, making a sound of metal colliding. With unimaginable force, Serven's kick sent her directly to the ceiling and she fell heavily to the ground.

Serven hugged Angie and stepped on the ground. Although taking care of Angie would affect his speed of advance, it would be more dangerous to put Angie in the middle of the monsters.

Moreover, Angie was slender, and Serven's strength was more than enough to hold her up.

Under Valetta's horrified eyes, Serven was getting closer and closer to her. She was like a panicked dog, using her hands and feet to quickly escape from the ground.

Serven stabbed her from behind, and the knife brought out a huge bloodstain from her shoulder to her waist.

But Valetta used Serven's power and quickly escaped from the battlefield using both his hands and feet.

Watching the enemy fleeing, Raul and others were still fighting with the monster, and Finn was still paralyzed in the distance, Severn had to give up the idea of ​​pursuing the victory.

With his joining, the situation was reversed and the monsters were quickly wiped out.
