Unease, anxiety, fear.
A mix of emotions welled up as Victor left.
The teacher left her?
A dull thud came from the sound of armor clashing together.
Gwen stood beside Aurelion, kneeling on one knee.
"Your Highness."
As the sound rang out, Aurelian's lifeless eyes regained their color.
She lowered her head, staring blankly at Gwen with helpless eyes.
"Where...where is my teacher?"
At that moment, she seemed to transform into a little princess who had been abandoned by her adult.
Gwen said very respectfully:
“Victor had other things to do, and he informed us in advance.”
"Please rest assured."
Aurelion lowered her head and clenched the black feather in her hand slightly.
The raven's black tail feather was slightly deformed from being gripped in my hand.
We notified you in advance?
Then why didn't he notify me in advance?
Just because I'm his student?
Gwen looked up at the silent Aurelion.
"...Your Highness?"
His tone revealed some worry and doubt.
"No, I'm fine."
Aurelion raised her head again, as if she had regained her usual bright smile.
Viktor's departure did not seem to have any effect on her.
"Thank you for telling me all this, Ms. Gwen."
"Let's keep going, my course isn't over yet."
"yes."
Gwen stood up and walked back to the front of the group, leading the demi-humans behind Aurelion.
The demi-human guards around them also rallied, adjusted their armor, and gripped the blades at their waists.
They followed Gwen, stepping onto the stone bridge, and continued deeper into the monster-infested rift beyond the door.
...
At this moment, deep within the tenth level.
Viktor gradually regained his balance and stood firm, looking at the writhing cave in front of him.
Vega stood on Victor's shoulder, covered his beak with his wing, and yawned.
"I'm saying, you abandoned that little girl, won't she hold a grudge against you?"
Victor ignored it and continued walking deeper into the cave.
When faced with a fork in the road, he didn't even need to think; he decisively chose one of the paths.
It felt so familiar, like coming home.
At the same time, Viktor calmly said:
"She needs to be more independent."
"Shouldn't there be a better way?"
The crow chuckled, making it hard to imagine what kind of colorful waste was contained in its impoverished brain.
"Tsk tsk, I don't want you to end up imprisoned."
"but……"
The crow raised its head and looked through the wall at the purple dome.
A faint light was gleaming in that single eye, as if it were sensing something.
"For you, getting them away is indeed a good option."
"You really did plan everything perfectly, Victor."
Viktor remained expressionless, ignoring Vega's praise, and continued walking silently forward.
The roads became more complex, with more and more forks in the road.
But Victor seems to have a map in his mind, and he always chooses the most correct path.
Finally, the road came to an end.
Viktor walked to the end and quietly observed his surroundings.
All around were perfectly neat walls, a stark contrast to the writhing flesh that had appeared before.
It looks like it was specially made.
And within the neat walls was an extremely large... door.
It's called a door, but it looks more like a disc.
The disc depicted an extremely terrifying monster, its ferocious form and sharp fangs vividly displayed before Victor.
Vega's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but marvel at the enormous stone gate, a masterpiece of nature.
“A door? Interesting. The previous maze and levels were already surprising enough.”
"The mysterious Abyss of Demons, which god created it?"
As if sensing someone's presence, the massive stone gate slowly twisted and gradually closed towards the sides.
The creaking and twisting sounds echoed in the narrow road and reached Viktor's ears.
boom!
The moment the door was fully opened, a loud noise suddenly erupted.
A damp and chilly smell wafted out and entered Victor and Vega's noses.
A musty smell clung to Vega's body, causing it to instinctively extend a wing to cover its nose.
Finally, the void behind them gradually appeared, like a giant mouth that completely swallowed the two of them.
Without hesitation, Victor stretched out one foot and stepped into the void.
"Before the main event begins."
"Let me warm up first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Viktor's body disappeared completely into the void.
The door slowly closed again.
Another heavy thud, and the door was completely locked.
It was as if a voice echoed throughout the entire gate.
Incredibly ethereal, incredibly light.
