The four men, dressed in matching black, tight-fitting combat suits, strode gracefully.
After passing through a straight passageway, you will find yourself at the first fork in the road.
Leila suggested:
"Do you need me to show you the way? I can still remember part of the route if it's the 18th floor."
Shadow slowly shook his head: "No need."
He raised his hand, pressed the [ST] button with his index finger and thumb, and a maze-related route map was projected onto the red lens in front of him.
Click the button again, and the map will rotate in 3D, clearly highlighting a route.
That's the proper route in the man-made maze, with very few traps and ambushes! Just like a dungeon, there's only one proper route that leads to the next level the fastest.
Shadow recalled Shaka's words:
[Daedalus's obsession is to create a wonder modeled after the dungeon. Therefore, he leaves the regular routes of the dungeon on the "blueprints." Because his obsession is too strong, the blueprints have become a curse, so his descendants must build the labyrinth according to those blueprints.]
This is the flaw in the maze.
"Let's go, turn right!"
Lord Shadow strode forward, his fingers lightly gliding over the walls of the maze, his eyes darting left and right as if admiring his own work of art.
He thought to himself: "A perfect organizational stronghold, such a large area, how many artifacts can it hold? The owner of the maze has excellent taste."
It's such a waste to destroy this place. If we could just take over, wouldn't that be awesome?
The more Shadow looked at it, the more he liked it; he even felt a little reluctant to destroy the maze.
Shadow looked down on Shaga's scheme to exploit customers.
Saying that the hardest metal is a small goal and the superhardest metal is half a goal, you come here and try knocking it down yourself, see if you can knock something down and take it away.
Shadow felt that Shaka was making things difficult for Fat Tiger.
mainly……
How could a dignified Shadow Lord do such underhanded things! If he were to do it, he should make them willingly hand over their possessions to him!
Shaga, a mere mortal, has absolutely no understanding of the art of the night!
Hmph, trash!
Thinking of this, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth:
"Hmph, hmph, hahaha! Let me see if these so-called dark factions are worthy of my personal command!"
The other three who were following him were puzzled when they saw the shadow suddenly laugh.
Suddenly, Shadow spoke again: "[Cunning Rat], [Rabbit], [Hey you], let's go, let's go see the master of this labyrinth!"
"This fortress is now under the control of Shadow Court!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The group continued forward. The 18th floor seemed somewhat deserted after Xia Jia had exploited it last time. Most of the traps and wrong paths were clearly marked, and even the stored monsters had been moved, making it rather empty.
Shadow easily found the passage to the upper level and was about to go up.
Leila stopped him.
"How can the leader be sent to the front lines while I'm made to be the vanguard?"
Shadow remained noncommittal, uttering a faint "hmm" from within his cloak.
A man-made maze, 17 floors.
In the center of the maze, the shouts of the Dark Faction soldiers could be heard.
Layla, who despises evil, weaves through enemy encirclements, wielding throwing knives and gunpowder.
She took advantage of the Night Demon Queen's elusive nature to constantly harass the enemies of the Dark Faction.
Shadow, on the other hand, walked unhurriedly down another path, checking the images coming from Lyra's side in [ST].
The sound of leather boots clicking on the cold floor echoed as they moved forward through the passage. A moment later, the sound of a machine turning could be heard at the end of the passage.
A swarm of crystal striders poured out from one side of the passage. Their sheer number swept in like a blue gust of wind.
Kato Megumi gasped, pulling her cloak low. Sakurajima Mai also nervously clutched the corner of her cloak.
"World, forget me," she murmured.
Chapter 196 Please, sir, make a move!
"World, forget me."
A strange fluctuation unfolded, and her existence completely vanished from everyone's sight.
This is Mai Sakurajima's magic.
Paradise Lost
• Three times a day, conceptually it allows one to escape into the dimensional rift, becoming immune to all non-spatial attacks, lasting for 5 seconds.
• Disappear, erasing all information about yourself in this world. (Unlimited uses, but will be observed by special entities.)
……
Kato Megumi activated her skill, and her presence blended perfectly into the environment.
At this moment, these six-legged monsters climbed up the labyrinth's rock walls and came to stand before the group.
Crystal Striders are small, spider-like monsters cultivated in the "Simple Seedlings" of the man-made maze. They have no magic stones, only red crystal cores, but six thin, long legs that are about the length of a human waist.
The crystal striders whizzed through the passage, rushing forward like flies that had smelled excrement.
They paused, startled, upon encountering the shadows.
Hmm? This human has the scent of a mother. I'll let you off this time.
As I passed by Kato Megumi, hey? How come you've grown so big, you little crystal tortoise? Come quick, there's poop to eat behind you, or you'll miss out on the hot stuff.
They surged forward, passing Mai Sakurajima and simply passing right through her, eventually heading towards Layla.
Kato Megumi also saw a crystal tortoise circle around her, nudge her with its long, slender legs, and then swagger away.
"What...what does it mean?"
"Maybe they wanted to invite you to join them," Sakurajima Mai resurfaced, making a sarcastic remark.
Kato Megumi paused for a moment, but her expression remained calm:
"Wow, Sakurajima-senpai, don't suddenly appear and scare me!"
"I don't want to be talked about like that by you, the 'background heroine.' Those crystal tortoises even consider you their comrade! It's ridiculous," Sakurajima Mai retorted.
She recalled Kato Megumi's skills:
[The Boring Girl]
• Can be activated at will.
• Freedom to control one's presence.
• Eliminate any sense of incongruity and blend perfectly into the surrounding environment.
This skill is terrifying. Compared to Mai Sakurajima's "disappearance", Megumi Kato's skill is not just a simple "concealment of presence". What makes her terrifying is that the observer will naturally categorize Megumi Kato into the corresponding background characters in a reasonable way.
Just like the Pandaman in One Piece, who is everywhere but has no screen time despite his explosive presence.
Conan, who was jumping around at the crime scene, also has a lot to say on this point.
"Hey~ Seriously, it's scary to suddenly appear like that, right, Shadow-sama?" Kato Megumi tried to change the subject.
Lord Shadow crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "It's no big deal."
Kato Megumi clasped her hands together: "Oh? Lord Shadow, can you see Sakurajima-senpai who's under magic?"
The shadow slowly turned around, but a firm, deep voice rang in Kato Megumi's ears:
"Of course!"
Shadow was sweating profusely and feeling uneasy.
Of course, all of this is a lie. That "bunny girl" was terrifying; she could appear and disappear right in front of people in an instant.
He had no idea that there was such a person in the group.
That's absolutely terrifying!
After being empowered by Grace, Mai Sakurajima's "disappearance" ability became even more terrifying; even individuals with high mental strength could not track her movements.
It completely disappears into the crevices of space and cannot be observed.
And that other girl, her skills are also quite peculiar, making Lord Shadow genuinely envious.
Suppressing their complicated thoughts, the three followed the passage through which the crystal striders entered and exited. This route deviated slightly from the main path, but at the end of the road, crystal striders continued to emerge in an endless stream.
"So many people just left? Could it be a respawn point?" Kato Megumi wondered.
