The neutral city of Foss.

This is the largest commercial and trading city south of the Tianlong Mountains. It has always existed in a semi-independent form. The 200-kilometer-long wall completely surrounds this city known as the Golden Capital, and the endless stream of caravans and tourists also represent the prosperity of the city.

Although there were many people queuing to enter the city, after Ellie found the guard and showed him the status board of herself and others, the guard immediately opened a green channel for everyone with great trepidation, allowing the four girls to enter the city smoothly.

“…”

Walking on the street, Nana looked around in confusion. Although this city was quite prosperous by the standards of civilization in this world, it was not enough to make Nana so curious. So Ai Li also looked at Nana curiously and asked.

"Nana, what are you looking at?"

"No, I find it weird...why doesn't anyone seem to be watching us?"

Nana scratched her hair and asked in confusion. In the past, when they went to other towns, they would be watched by many people. After all, the four of them were beautiful girls, so it was easy for them to attract other people's attention, not to mention that Nana would be regarded as a subhuman because of her tail.

In fact, Nana had encountered more than one situation where a blind businessman pointed at her and asked Ai Li "How much is this demi-human?" Of course, these blind guys would be beaten away by Nana the next moment. Nana originally thought that she would encounter the same thing in this city, but she didn't expect that she seemed to be completely ignored?

"Of course, I used magic."

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes, I used magic to make our presence much weaker, and most people won't pay special attention to us."

Ai Li smiled and answered. This is one of the magic tricks that magicians from Type-Moon often use, which can make their presence less noticeable. After all, this is a big city, and Ai Li doesn't want to have any conflicts with others because of Nana. Although it's not that she can't beat her, it's like the plot of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger in online novels. It's okay once or twice, but if the same plot is repeated over and over again, it will really make people feel bored.

This time, Ellie and her friends came to Foss to investigate the child trafficking case and to explore the maze. After all, according to the clues from the previous abyss maze, there should be an abyss maze here. Ellie originally thought that this abyss maze might be hidden in a secret space under this trading city, but what she didn't expect was...

“…Good fellow…”

Standing in the bustling square, looking at the building in front of her that looked like the entrance to a museum with the words "Great Labyrinth of Orcus" written on it, Ellie was speechless.

When checking in just now, Ai Li and her friends learned from the waiter that the Abyss Labyrinth here is not only not a hidden place, but also a popular tourist attraction. Because the monsters here have high-quality magic stones, and the monsters in the labyrinth will appear from time to time, it is often used by adventurers and even the military as a training ground.

Not only that, in the square at the entrance of the maze, there are many vendors doing business, giving people the feeling that this maze is really being run as a tourist attraction... If the creator of the maze knew about this, he would be furious.

Of course, since the monsters become stronger as you go deeper, no one has been able to break through the 100th floor so far. Generally speaking, those who can reach the 20th floor are already considered first-rate adventurers, and those who exceed the 40th floor are considered top-notch. The current highest record of the maze is the 65th floor... This means that the magic of the Age of Gods here should not have been discovered yet.

Originally, Ellie's idea was to look for the Abyss Maze while searching, but she didn't expect that the maze would appear right in front of her. So she discussed with others and decided to strike while the iron is hot and conquer the big maze first before investigating the child kidnapping case.

Anyway, the maze here is not more dangerous than the one in the border area. It took Ai Li, Nana, Yue and the others only one night to clear it. No matter how strong the enemy here is, it is obviously not their opponent. So Ai Li also brought the three of them to the counter at the entrance of the maze, which was like a ticket office, and registered the level of the maze.

After seeing that the adventurer level of Ai Li and the other three was gold, the counter lady was greatly surprised. She then enthusiastically processed the procedures for the four girls and reminded them to be careful. At the same time, the counter lady also provided Ai Li and the others with a piece of news.

"Oh, by the way, the gods are also training in the labyrinth now. If possible, please don't conflict with them."

"God's messenger?"

Hearing what the counter lady said, Ellie raised her eyebrows, and the counter lady nodded.

"That's right. They are the messengers summoned by the gods. They just started conquering the maze today under the leadership of the Kingdom's army commander. However, they are still a group of young people. I don't know if they have any problems..."

"I see."

Ellie nodded slightly. She did see the fully armed guards standing outside the maze, but Ellie originally thought that they were responsible for protecting this place. Now it seems that those people should be soldiers of the kingdom army.

But then again... the messenger of God...

[Why are they so lucky that they are even revered as messengers of God, but why am I so unlucky that I have to become a spider...]

As expected, Ai Li received Xiao Bai's telepathy again. The more time travelers she saw along the way, the more unlucky Xiao Bai felt. Although her classmate was reincarnated as a baby, he was still a human being and had more skills than she did. It was even more exaggerated here. A large group of people came through and were treated as God's messengers and honored as guests of honor. As a result, she was unlucky. When she opened her eyes, she turned into a spider at the bottom of the maze and was almost eaten...

Xiaobai can feel the malice of the world. Do the gods of this world hate spiders?! What sin did I commit to deserve this treatment?

Despite saying so, the group still entered the maze and began their own maze strategy.

This abyss maze was not much different from the previous mazes. If anything, there were many traps besides monsters, but this was not a problem for Ellie. Basically, no matter how vicious the monster was, as long as Ellie picked up the magic wand and pointed it forward, she would kill it immediately.

“No matter how many times I watch it, it’s still incredible.”

Yue was also moved as she watched a very strong monster fall down in the blink of an eye. As the former queen of the vampire clan, Yue had experienced many battles and was well-informed, but even she had never seen magic like Ai Li's - no chanting, no casting movements, just holding the wand and lightly tapping, the monster fell directly. She also tried to feel it, but felt nothing.

Nana and Xiaobai were not very good at magic, so they didn't think it was strange no matter how unexpected Ai Li did. But Yue was an expert in magic, and she was very sure that she had never seen any magic that could take the lives of those powerful monsters so easily without leaving any trace.

Yue even tried to check the bodies of those monsters, trying to find out the cause of their death. But still found nothing, they just died like that, just like that, without any other factors. It was as if their life fire was suddenly blown out by a gust of death wind... Just thinking about this made Yue feel shocked and trembling. You know, more than 300 years ago, he was also regarded as a monster because of his immortal body and huge magic power. But in comparison, in Yue's opinion, everything that Ai Li did was even more incredible...

The following process was similar to the previous abyss maze. Basically, the four people never stopped. The monsters blocking the way would be eliminated by Ellie, and the hidden traps would be solved by Ellie with a direct "trap release". As for the maze itself, there was no maze that could stump the prophecy wizard... Just like that, the four of them turned left and right, and it only took them a few hours to reach the 65th floor.

"Great, we're already halfway there!"

Looking at the maze sign in front of her, Nana clenched her fists excitedly.

"This way, we will definitely be the first to capture this place!"

"Don't get too carried away. It's better to be careful."

Looking at the excited Nana, Ai Li reminded her with a chuckle, and Nana waved her hand.

"Don't worry, Sister Ai Li. We hardly met anyone else along the way, which means we are the fastest. How could someone get ahead of us..."

"ah--!!!"

However, as if to slap her in the face, Nana hadn't finished her words when suddenly a scream came from the front. Hearing this scream, Nana was also stunned, and immediately puffed up her cheeks in displeasure.

"What? Is there anyone faster than us?"

In response to Nana's complaints, Ai Li shook her head.

"You'll find out when you go and see."

At the same time, deep in the maze, on a bridge connecting the two sides of the abyss, a group of young boys and girls were engaged in a bitter battle.

"Damn... these monsters...!!"

The blond boy holding the holy sword was swinging the sword, slashing at the monster in front of him. Behind him, a group of boys and girls of the same age were completely surrounded by monsters.

They are none other than "God's messengers".

Of course, not long ago, these boys and girls were just ordinary high school students. However, they were inexplicably summoned to this world, and were even told that they were summoned by the gods of this world to protect humans and fight against the messengers of gods who were demons.

Therefore, these high school students also had to take up arms, train and fight.

Of course, unlike the group of travelers who lost their memories in the border area, this group of high school students not only did not lose their memories, but also had a very powerful plug-in system. It was for this reason that they challenged the Great Labyrinth under the leadership of Captain Meld of the Kingdom Army and honed their abilities.

Everything was going smoothly at the beginning. Relying on the ridiculously strong power of external plug-ins, the group successfully reached the twentieth floor. According to the standards of this world, they were already first-class adventurers.

But at this moment, someone among them accidentally triggered the trap, causing the group to be teleported to the 65th floor. Not only that, when they were teleported to the 65th floor, they found that they were completely surrounded by monsters.

The most dangerous thing is naturally the dark monster blocking their way.

“Behemoth…!”

Gripping the sword tightly and staring at the monster in front of him, the commander of the Meld Army also looked pale. This was a monster that no legendary adventurer could defeat back then, so they certainly had no way to deal with it. Now they could only think of a way to hold this monster back and get those children who were the apostles of God to leave here! Otherwise, the whole army would be wiped out!

"Hurry, I'll hold them back, you guys leave quickly!"

"no!"

However, the young man with golden hair and holding a holy sword shook his head.

"I can't leave you guys alone, Mr. Meld! We all have to survive!"

The one holding the holy sword is none other than Tianzhihe Guanghui, one of God's apostles. At this moment, he holds the holy sword tightly and does not flinch when facing Behemoth in front of him.

Although he possesses great power, he doesn't really think that he can defeat this terrible monster by himself!

“Quick, retreat quickly…!!”

Just as Captain Meld shouted, the barrier used to resist Behemoth's advance shattered, and then Captain Meld and others screamed and flew backwards.

“Captain!!!”

Seeing this, Tian Zhihe Guanghui shouted, and then he turned to Behemoth again.

"Ryuutarou, Shizuku, help me buy some time. Kaori will be in charge of treating Mr. Meld!"

While giving instructions to his classmates, Amagawa Kouki raised his holy sword.

“Oh God’s will! Please bring the light that destroys all evil! Oh God’s breath! Please sweep away all the haze and make this world full of holiness! — Divine power!!”

As he chanted, Tian Zhihe swung the holy sword in his hand heavily. Soon, a beam of light similar to an "Ex Curry Stick" shot out from the sword and hit Behemoth's body heavily. The shining light even swallowed up the entire space, and slowly dissipated after a while.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

After unleashing his divine power, Tian Zhihe Guanghui fell to his knees, and his classmates were also covered in wounds.

"In this way, we can finally get rid of that guy."

In the eyes of Tian Zhihe Guanghui, no monster could withstand such an attack.

That should have been the case... However, when the smoke cleared, all they saw was an unharmed black monster.

"How, how is it possible..."

Seeing this scene, Tian Zhihe Guanghui and others were stunned where they were, unable to move. He had already used his strongest move, but he didn't even scratch the opponent's skin?

"roar--!!!"

Behemoth roared angrily, and then its head emitted a red glow, gradually becoming hot. Then the black monster jumped up and rushed towards Tianzhihe Guanghui and others.

"Idiot, get out of the way!!"

It was not until Captain Meld shouted loudly that the three petrified people came to their senses and hurriedly dodged Behemoth's terrifying attack. Although they were not hit directly, the shock wave generated by Behemoth's impact on the ground still knocked everyone away.

"Hurry up and get out of here!!"

Seeing this scene, Captain Meld roared again, but this time, Sky River Glory and the others had lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground in pain, unable to stand up. At the same time, Behemoth lowered its head again and pointed its sharp horns at the young men, then it suddenly ran wildly and rushed forward like a speeding train.

“No… No way!!”

At this moment, Captain Meld desperately stretched out his hand, trying to rush over to block them, but even he himself was covered in wounds and could not move at all. He could only watch the huge monster getting closer and closer to Tianzhihe Guanghui and others...

At this moment, suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Certainly."

The sound was not loud, but it seemed to echo clearly in everyone's ears. At the moment of hearing this sound, everyone felt that their bodies seemed to be out of control, and they froze in place as if they were petrified. Even the monster that was running forward also maintained its charging posture, and stopped in place as if time had stopped.

Then, everyone saw a white-haired girl wearing a black cloak, a pointed hat, and sitting on a broom, like a witch, falling from the sky. She just held a magic wand in her hand and pointed it at Besmos.

Then, the girl opened her cherry lips slightly.

"die."

The next moment, the huge, terrifying monster fell to the ground in full view of everyone, without a sound.
