Monster Rift, also known as Monster Abyss, dungeon.
The last one is the name chosen by the players.
Strictly speaking, this is a void world that is different from reality.
The surrounding area is very empty and the roads are complicated.
Nearby walls may cause some discomfort.
They rise and fall slowly like a purple squirming mass of flesh, with thin film-like flesh and blood stuck between the flesh masses.
The flesh and blood wall seemed to be carved by something, changing its shape.
Between the purple flesh and blood, bursts of smoke overflowed, followed by black-purple cracks that kept shaking.
Looking up, the boundless purple is like a pot of paint poured into the dome of this space, constantly stirring.
Occasionally, monsters slowly squeeze out of the body from the gap.
It was accompanied by mucus and enveloped body, even before it could stand firmly on the crawling ground.
A demi-human instantly pulled out the sharp blade from his waist, stepped on it suddenly, and rushed towards the newly born monster at high speed.
Uh-huh!
There was a flash of cold light, and in the blink of an eye, the monster's body froze in place.
Before it could take on its own shape, it was split into two halves and slid to the ground.
A flame followed closely, wrapping the monster's fragile body. The fierce flames burned crazily, completely burning the monster into ashes.
Weak, too weak.
Compared with the well-equipped demihumans, those monsters are simply natural cannon fodder.
Victor put his hands in his pockets, and Aurelion followed him.
The further they go into the depths of this space, the more doubtful Aurelion becomes.
She raised her head and asked Victor:
"Teacher, why do we come here to practice?"
And they have to bring so many people with them in a big way.
She doesn't quite understand.
Because the monsters here are weak and pitiful, they won't let her experience any pressure at all.
However, this is the teacher's choice after all. Although Aurelion will have doubts, she will only obey.
Victor's voice rang in Aurelion's ears.
"The place you are in now is the first ten levels of the abyss - the Dark Field of the Pain Demon."
The Monster Abyss is divided into many layers, and every ten layers, the surrounding scenery and monsters will change.
The first ten levels of the Pain Demon Dark Field are the most basic and simple levels.
Until you get deeper into the crack, and the further you go to the lower levels, you will encounter stronger and stronger monsters.
Even the refresh speed will become faster and faster.
Therefore, it is normal for the monsters here to be weak.
Aurelion understood somewhat and did not continue to ask.
The team continued to move forward, cleaning up the stray monsters on the road as they went.
Those monsters were all vulnerable and were completely eliminated in a matter of seconds.
But soon, the team stopped.
Because they have reached the end.
Ahead, there seemed to be a bottomless abyss surging with purple.
Among them, there seemed to be a pair of giant eyes that were constantly flashing, sizing up the approaching team.
From the purple abyss, a stone bridge gradually rose.
Behind the bridge, a huge door slowly emerged from the flesh and blood wall.
"Go forward and you will reach the eleventh floor."
Victor said calmly.
"After level 11, you'll encounter real challenges."
Of course, most of the monsters in the cracks were basically cleared away by those guild members.
Coupled with the fact that there are fourth-level mages like Kokot following them, nothing will happen to this team.
Aurelion looked at the door in surprise, and then Victor's voice rang in her ears.
"Do you know why I brought Elsa with me?"
Hearing this, she couldn't help but look at the lonely assassin among the Naya people.
She is obviously a powerful fourth-level adventurer, but at this time, she is like a tool, always following Victor's orders.
She didn't think too much and shook her head in confusion.
"Because she was also an adventurer."
Aurelion blinked, as if she didn't understand what Victor meant.
But the moment the words fell, Victor's figure gradually became slightly transparent.
"By the way, next is your own trial."
Upon hearing this, Aurelion couldn't help but widen her eyes. She subconsciously reached out and tried to grab Victor's shirt.
But he only caught a ball of air.
It was obvious that her teacher was watching her from the front.
She stayed where she was, her heart pounding.
A series of uneasiness filled my heart.
"Old...teacher?"
His voice, with a tone of advice, continued to sound near Aurelion.
"Next, Elsa will lead the way for you, and Gwen will be by your side to protect you."
"Finally, believe in Kokot, no one here is stronger than her."
Victor's figure gradually turned into white powder.
Started, slowly falling apart.
Under Aurelion's disbelieving gaze, his body seemed to be blown away by the wind.
"Lead this team to the thirtieth floor below."
"This is your lesson this time."
There was only a little powder left, which dissipated in front of her along with Victor's last voice.
Everyone watched silently as Victor disappeared together with his windbreaker.
In the sky, a jet-black feather floated down and landed in Aurelion's hand.
She lowered her head and looked at the complete crow's tail feathers.
Like a trance, my mood gradually became depressed.
Uneasy, impatient, fearful.
All kinds of emotions came up with Victor's departure.
Teacher, left her?
There was a dull sound of armors clashing against each other.
Gwen stood beside Aurelion, kneeling on one knee.
"Your Highness."
The voice sounded, and the color returned to Aureliano's dull eyes.
She lowered her head and looked at Gwen blankly with helpless eyes.
"Where...where is my teacher?"
At this moment, she seemed to have become a little princess who was left helpless after an adult left her side.
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 black tail feather of the crow was slightly deformed in his hand.
Were you notified in advance?
Then...why didn't he notify me in advance?
Just because I am his student?
Gwen raised her head and looked at the silent Aurelion.
"...Your Highness?"
There was some worry and doubt in his tone.
"No, I'm fine."
Aurelion raised her head again, as if her usual bright smile had returned.
Victor's departure didn't seem to have any impact on her.
"Thank you for telling me this, Teacher Gwen."
"Keep walking, my lesson isn't over yet."
"yes."
Gwen stood up and walked to the front of the team again, leading the demihumans to follow Aurelion.
The surrounding demi-human guards also regrouped, lifted their armor, and tightened their grip on the sharp blades at their waists.
They followed Gwen, stepped on the stone bridge, and continued to go deeper into the deeper monster crack behind the door.
…
At this time, deep in the tenth level.
Victor's figure gradually recovered, and he stood firm on the spot, looking at the crawling cave in front of him.
Vega stood on Victor's shoulder, covering the bird's beak with her wings and yawning.
"I said, you left this little girl behind, won't she hold a grudge against you?"
Victor didn't look at it and walked deeper into the cave.
When he encountered a fork in the road, he didn't even need to think and entered one of the forks decisively.
The familiar one feels like returning to one's own home.
At the same time, Victor said calmly:
"She needs to be more independent."
"Then there should be a better way, right?"
The crow was laughing so hard that it was hard to imagine what color waste was in its destitute brain.
"Tsk, tsk, I don't want what kind of imprisonment awaits you in the future."
"but……"
The crow raised his head and looked through the wall towards the purple dome.
There was a certain glimmer of light in that one eye, as if it was sensing something.
"For you, sending them away is indeed a good choice."
"You really have calculated everything, Victor."
Victor had no expression on his face and ignored Vega's appreciation. He just continued to walk forward in silence.
The road becomes more complex and there are more and more forks.
But Victor seems to have a map in his mind, and he will always choose the most correct path.
Finally, the road extended to the end.
Victor walked to the end and quietly observed his surroundings.
All around are extremely neat walls, which are incompatible with the squirming flesh and blood before.
It's like it was specially made.
And among the neat walls, there is an extremely huge... door.
It's said to be a door, but it's more like a disc.
An extremely terrifying monster was engraved on the disk. Its ferocious shape and sharp fangs were vividly displayed in front of Victor.
Weijia's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh at this huge stone door that was so miraculously crafted.
"A door? Interesting. The previous mazes and levels were enough to surprise me."
"The magical monster abyss, which god created it?"
As if sensing someone's presence, the huge stone door slowly twisted and gradually moved toward both sides.
The crunching and twisting sound echoed on the narrow road and reached Victor's ears.
boom!
The moment the door was completely opened, a loud sound suddenly erupted.
The damp and cold smell overflowed from it and penetrated into the noses of Victor and Vega.
A musty smell clung to Weijia's body, causing him to unnaturally stretch out a wing to cover his nose.
Finally, the void behind gradually emerged, like a huge mouth, completely swallowing the two of them.
Victor did not hesitate, stretched out one foot and stepped into the void.
"Before the real drama comes."
"Let me warm up first."
As soon as the words fell, Victor's body completely disappeared into the void.
The door slowly closed again.
There was another heavy sound and it was completely locked.
There seemed to be a voice that sounded throughout the door.
Incomparably ethereal, extremely light.
