Late at night.
This is the moment when the moon is high.
Normally, even the Labyrinth City, known as the center of the world, should be dark and silent, but today something unexpected happened.
The monsters attacking the city caused panic among the people, and each family members equipped their weapons and were ready to resist the monsters' attacks. The closed guilds were unusually blocked.
The city is brightly lit everywhere, as if this is the only way to drive away monsters and darkness.
Even in the top room of the Tower of Babel, the silver-haired goddess standing by the window and looking down could not stop shaking the glass filled with red wine. She was elegant and noble, slightly anxious and worried.
How could that child be related to monsters? Do you want to make enemies of all the family members? Although I really wanted to see him shine, he was still too reckless.
At this time, a figure appeared behind her.
The leader of the Pig Tribe reported: "Lord Freya, new information has been obtained, and all members of the [Loki Familia] are dispatched."
"Loki? It's really strange."
The silver-haired goddess frowned slightly and said something that was unclear whether it was surprise or sarcasm.
The fate of the strongest Familia in Labyrinth City is not a small matter for her, other Familia or the guild.
"besides……"
Otta hesitated slightly.
It's not at all in line with his original temperament.
Freya seemed to sense something was wrong, glanced at him and asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"I heard that [Loki Familia] has reached an agreement with the guild."
"What agreement?"
"Xiao Lin's agreement to join the [Loki Familia]."
"What did you say?!"
The report from the leader of the Pig Tribe made the silver-haired goddess unable to sit still any longer. She had clearly taken care of the child she had worked so hard for so long, but someone actually jumped out to pick peaches?
Even though he knew that the child was extremely outstanding and there were countless families who coveted him, it was really audacious to dare to compete with her, not even Loki!
"Gather the Familia and stop them."
"As commanded."
With the goddess's order, another of the most powerful families in Labyrinth City met their end.
————
Daedalus Street.
The monsters disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Guros and other [heretics] were carefully selected by Xiaolin. In addition to their sensitivity and intelligence, their strength is also very important.
After all, when it comes to the surface, there are quite a few people who are more powerful than them and have been called monsters. In addition to finding companions, you also have to avoid being hunted by adventurers, which is undoubtedly very difficult.
Fortunately, under the instructions of Ouranos, the guild did not allow other Familia to intervene, so there was no need to worry too much about them.
It’s better to focus on the present moment first.
He looked at the female swordsman standing at the end of the street, blocking the only way out. The opponent is one of the strongest adventurers in the city at the moment, a strong person with the name of [Sword Princess].
But it doesn't matter, class can be smoothed out with proficiency, magic is the same, plus Finn can't take action if he wants to command the overall situation.
2V1, the advantage is mine!
At the moment when his nerves relaxed, the blonde swordswoman wrapped in a green whirlwind seemed to have pressed the fast forward button and jumped in front of him in the blink of an eye. The thin sword in her hand stabbed the waist and abdomen of the man in front of her at an extremely tricky angle.
However, Xiao Lin just turned sideways and avoided the fatal blow that almost stabbed him in the waist.
Then, under the moonlight blocked by dark clouds, several threads attacked Ais from all directions, including her wrists, rapiers, shoulders, and legs, trying to completely imprison her.
In the narrow streets, the full power of silk thread can be exerted here. This is Xiaolin's home court!
Do you know what the king of street fighting is?
However, the magic that Sword Princess is famous for is the sharpest. Before she could get close to her, she was completely shattered by the green whirlwind about one meter away.
So, even if she reaches LV5, the artifact can't do anything to her?
It seems that the silk thread is of no use anymore.
For Xiaolin (Silk Thread), Aisi (Wind) is his nemesis.
The two sides understood this and fought together again.
Not giving Xiao Lin a chance to escape, Aisi stepped on the floor to make herself light. With the blessing of the wind, the turquoise spiral condensed at the tip of the sword, rushing towards it with terrifying penetration.
This time, Xiaolin did not dodge, but squared up and fought back with his fists.
The dark clouds dispersed at this moment, and a bright silver color mixed with turquoise appeared on Xiao Lin's fist.
That is--
Ai Si narrowed her eyes and saw clearly that Xiao Lin's hands were wrapped in countless silk threads and turned into a pair of silver-white gloves.
This is another wonderful use of silk thread.
Xiaolin had trained with Ais countless times before, so he naturally understood that silk threads could not have much impact on her. When there was no advantage like silk thread, Xiaolin came up with this method in order to defeat the Sword Princess.
Wrap silk thread around your hands to turn into gloves!
As long as my armor (silk thread) is stacked thick enough, the enemy (rapid sword) can't hurt me!
Ding ding ding ding——
The rapier and the glove collided rapidly. The swordswoman, who was quick and agile, swung her sword several times in an instant. All of her unfavorable attacks were intercepted by her opponent.
From the beginning to now, all the fierce attacks have been resolved.
Especially his own magic. Every time the green whirlwind wrapped around the tip of the sword would produce unnatural distortions the moment before it collided with the opponent's fist, and then disappear without a trace.
What exactly is this...
"I used the opposite direction of the wind."
Seemingly noticing Aisi's doubts, Xiao Lin took the initiative to explain.
After many trainings, Xiaolin discovered that Aisi liked to use clockwise wind to wrap herself, probably to match the moves of the right-hand sword, so he used counter-clockwise whirlwind to offset it.
The Wind Spirit Sprint is a magic that becomes more powerful the more it is charged.
The current Aisi cannot dispel the magic. Once the spell is dispelled, the power of her moves will drop by one level. There is nothing that can be done to Xiao Lin, after all, when the opponent is accumulating energy, he is also accumulating energy. No matter what he does, it will be offset.
In other words, Xiaolin is already invincible.
"It's troublesome."
Finn, who was watching the battle from a distance and taking part-time command, also clearly noticed this.
He licked his thumb and felt no pain.
No danger?
But procrastinating like this will attract the attention of other families. Should we take the initiative to capture Xiao Lin as soon as possible?
When he thought this, a terrifying sense of oppression came from behind.
Footsteps slowly approached.
"Hehehe, I knew it would be like this."
Finn sighed obviously and turned to look at the strong pigman emerging from the shadows.
His thumb began to hurt slightly.
at the same time.
Not only him, but also the werewolf Burt, the Amazon sisters, Chongji Grace and the Nine Demons Riveria, all encountered enemies of similar strength.
What they have in common is that they all come from that goddess's family.
——Freya Familia.
"Captain, it's not good! [Freya Familia] they... they...!"
A member of the Familia who discovered this and hurriedly ran over wanted to report the matter to Finn, but when he saw the iron tower-like [Mercy] standing opposite the [Brave], he couldn't say anything. .
Even though the little human warrior had expected it, he now understood that this would be a fierce battle.
In the streets.
Ais, who had distanced herself, frowned when she saw the group leader leaving with someone. She also had a bad feeling.
"...Where is Finn going?"
"Is there any room to consider others now?"
When she was distracted, Xiaolin turned from defense to offense and took the lead.
There was a dull sound when his feet hit the floor, and with the help of the reaction force, Xiaolin's figure briefly burst out at terrifying speed, rushing into Ais's guarding range in just an instant.
The Sword Princess, who was extremely experienced in fighting, did not panic. She turned her sword back with a flick of her wrist and thrust it towards Xiao Lin's arm.
There is no silk thread wrapping there, and once it is hit, it will instantly lose its combat effectiveness.
As expected of the swordswoman with keen intuition, she found the flaw so quickly.
But it’s not even close!
Xiaolin forcibly twisted his upper body and rotated along with the situation. When a few hairs were cut off, his right hand was already close to the soft waist and abdomen of the female swordsman.
Once attacked, the combat effectiveness will definitely be lost.
"Hugh, think about it."
After getting stiff with his slashing, Kobayashi, who thought it was his attack turn, discovered that Aisi did not stop slashing but instead spun around.
While her long golden hair drew a perfect arc in mid-air, bringing out a refreshing scent, the thin sword she slashed in her hand also carried a hint of danger.
Spin like a dance, sweep hard from the side, and successfully push the enemy back!
……not at all!
When the rapier was about to force Xiao Lin back, he took the initiative to respond.
One hand broke through the whirlwind and held the rapier, and the other hand pressed down on the female swordsman before she could block, and then a violent impact followed.
"uh-huh!"
As the female swordsman groaned, her figure also retreated, leaving two deep marks under her feet.
This time, Xiaolin narrowly won.
Even though it was a sneak attack, LV5 was able to fight with LV6, and the other party was a Swordswoman. It was enough to become an after-dinner chat in the labyrinth city.
What, you said LV5 is Xiaolin?
That's okay.
It's a pity that the other party is wrapped in armor and has no real sense of touch. Don't get me wrong, he just meant that he didn't cause much harm to Ais.
At this time, several familiar figures jumped out of the alleys of Daedalus Street.
Bell, Winnie, Fels, Reed and other monsters.
They don't know why they are together, but it seems that they discovered the [Daedalus Labyrinth] and ran into the town through the shortcut.
Bell, the leader, was stunned when he saw Xiao Lin and Aisi half-kneeling opposite.
"this is……
"Why is Xiaolin fighting with Sword Girl? And it seems that Xiaolin is winning?"
Fels was also shocked.
She and Bell rushed to the safe area of the dungeon, and after meeting Reed and others, she assisted the [Heretics] in quickly rescuing their compatriots and then returned to the [Labyrinth of Daedalus].
However, Reed and the other [heretics] were still worried about Ancient Ross and the others, so they took a shortcut to the surface through the key of Fels (obtained from Lyu). I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I came out.
"Sure enough, monsters can only be defeated by monsters."
Fels sighed sincerely.
People who have lived in the labyrinth city for hundreds of years have seen too many people with exaggerated strength and potential, and the Sword Princess and Xiaolin in front of them are undoubtedly one of them.
Kobayashi, who defeated Sword Princess, is an even more exaggerated monster.
"Why, why do you do this."
Probably because she had a premonition that she would not be able to defeat Xiao Lin, the golden-haired swordswoman with golden eyes could not restrain herself, so she finally asked this question.
Obviously she is a girl who does not show her emotions easily, but there is uncontrollable doubt in her eyes.
Xiao Lin said in silence:
“Because everyone’s understanding of correct behavior is different.”
There cannot be two identical leaves in the world. Everyone has different experiences, environments, and thoughts, and they will have different views on the same issue.
That's the reason.
Simple yet complex.
The simple swordswoman doesn't quite understand, but she knows that she can't use her skill - [Princess of Vengeance] against the [Heretics], which greatly strengthens the attack of all monster enemies based on the intensity of hatred. The prerequisite is that the target must be She had to identify it as a monster.
As for the [Heretic] with human characteristics, she will be unable to activate it because she realizes in her consciousness that it contains the impurity of the human part.
In other words, she actually subconsciously believed that the [heretics] were already (intellectual) people.
"But you will fail."
The blond-haired swordswoman with golden eyes repositioned herself, and said as if she trusted her companions immensely: "Captain... Finn, Riveria, Tiona, Tione, they will catch those talking monsters. of."
Hearing this, Fels, who was hiding aside, couldn't help but whisper.
"Not good!"
"What's wrong, Fels?"
"Those people... members of the [Loki Familia] are all a group of monsters. If those guys take action, Guros and the others are likely to be in danger."
"What, how could this happen?!"
Reed also couldn't suppress his exclamation.
The [Heretics] were not weak, but even so, Fels believed that they could not defeat these adventurers, which caused him to have a strong urge to help his compatriots.
At this time, it heard Xiao Lin say again: "Yeah, even I didn't expect [Loki Familia] to take action. I thought they would restrain themselves under the ban of Ouranos. I took it for granted."
Xiao Lin admitted his mistake very simply.
You must know that [Freya Familia] dared to ignore the guild's system and destroy [Ishtar Familia] based on their own selfish desires. So the [Loki Familia], who are also the strongest Familia, will naturally not do whatever they want based on the guild's face, not to mention that the god is Loki, the most fun-loving person in the city.
"That……"
"I will not join the [Loki Familia]."
As if he guessed Aisi's thoughts, Xiaolin rejected her inner thoughts.
Why?
The girl tilted her head, extremely confused.
To be honest, she was also very eager for the man in front of her to join her own clan. She was even eager to the point where she was the first to agree when Finn proposed this idea during the team battle.
That eager look surprised Riveria and others.
But why?
"You should know the reason, because I am not a dependent of the god Ouranos."
It seems like the final BOSS whose identity is revealed at the last moment of the level.
Xiaolin said to the female swordsman in front and everyone hiding in the dark: "Let me introduce myself again. I am the leader of the Aqua Familia, Xiaolin. I am from another world, and the god I serve is... the water. Goddess Aqua.”
Not only Ace and Bell, but also Fels were extremely shocked, because Xiaolin never said what kind of family he came from.
What does being from another world mean?
And which one is [Aqua Familia]?
You can tell from the name that the goddess's name is Aqua, but why have you never heard of this goddess?
Who is she?
Not only were the doubts of Aisi and others not answered, but more doubts filled their thoughts.
But there was no time for her to ask, because——
“Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho —”
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a beam fell from the sky between Xiao Lin and Aisi. The smashed floor was filled with dust, and a tall figure was looming under the thick dust mist.
A huge body like an iron tower, scarlet eyes scattered through the dust, a pair of horns that seemed to be forcing the sky, and two terrifying giant swords.
An uninvited guest has arrived!
