The blind old woman seemed to be able to judge the other person's identity by feeling the magic power.

After she finished investigating Laelina, her face was filled with regret.

The old man said in a hoarse and weak voice, "Little girl, why do you insist on following your mother's old path?"

Laelina used defensive magic to fend off the attack of the man with the black sword with difficulty, and all she could see was the hunchbacked old woman.

"Old woman, I'm glad you're still alive, otherwise I wouldn't be able to avenge my mother myself."

The conversation between the old man and the young left Ron and Reginald confused.

They had some impression of the mother of their own president, Laellina. She seemed to be a powerful disaster-level magician. Later, she was surrounded and killed because of things between countries.

Now it turns out that this weird old woman was actually the murderer of Laelina's mother.

When the Demon King Reiz saw the humans killing each other, he hid aside and recovered quietly.

The man with the black sword spat, "Master Chief, let's attack together and finish it quickly. I have a wife waiting for me at home."

The blind old woman shook her head and sighed, "Little girl, you should have been my successor, but it's a pity that that was your only chance to avenge your mother..."

Seeing the old man raising the half wand, Ron could no longer sit still. He stood in front of Laelina with the magic sword in hand and stopped the man with the black sword.

The man with the black sword sneered, "I heard you were a genius, but that's all."

Then the man simply swung his sword, and the magic sword in Ron's hand flew more than ten meters away and stabbed it hard into the ground.

Ron was knocked back by the man's sword energy, knocking down several thick old trees, and fell to his knees, no longer able to continue fighting.

The black sword man laughed again, "I love to crush you so-called sword masters the most. LV6 is nothing but an ant in front of LV7!"

Ron was unwilling to give up. If his promotion had not been interrupted by the president just now, he would definitely be able to fight with this middle-aged man now. Unfortunately, he no longer had any way to break through that bottleneck.

He and Reginald could only watch as Laelina was beaten back by the two uninvited guests without being able to fight back.

Just when Ron was heartbroken about his incompetence, an unexpected person stepped forward to help Laelina share the pressure.

The black sword man who was hit hard spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was ashen, "The Demon King actually wants to help the human race?"

Rez snorted coldly, "I really can't stand it. You two are bullying a little girl."

The man with the black sword laughed. "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Aren't you just worried that after Laellina dies, the two of us will turn our spearheads against you?"

Rez didn't say anything, but continued to attack the man with the black sword. Obviously, his inner thoughts were guessed by the man with the black sword.

Lylelina called out to Reginald and asked him to run with Ron.

The battle between the four people was a battle between LV7, and Reginald and Baik had no room to intervene.

In order to prevent Ron from being affected by the violent magic, Reginald carried Ron on his back and was about to leave the current area.

Ron refused to leave and vowed to stay by the president's side until the end, but under such circumstances, Reginald would not let Ron act as he pleased.

"Put me down, asshole, I can still fight!"

"Don't give up on the president, don't abandon her, I beg you, Reginald!"

"No, Guild Master, no, that is the [Divine Artifact: Death Contract]. The Guild Master will perish together with the enemy. I want to save the Guild Master. Reginald, if you don't let me down, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"

Reginald was already in tears, but he couldn't let go of Ron until they returned to the previous area of the maze.

During this time, he only said half a sentence, "Ron, you little brat, only I can die beside Laelina, you, live for me..."

Reginald kept the other half of the sentence in his heart and did not say it out loud.

He placed the heartbroken Ron in a safe place and returned to the battlefield without hesitation.

But when Reginald returned to the main battlefield, the battle between LV7 had already ended.

The body of Demon King Rez was broken and turned into a stone statue without any magic power flowing. Only a heart was left outside the body, and the magic power was gradually dissipating.

The blind old woman and the man with the black sword are nowhere to be found.

Laelina died in battle with a smile on her face and a relaxed brow, still holding half of the blind old woman's wand in her arms, like a sleeping little girl holding her doll, reluctant to let go.

Reginald was disheartened, for he knew that Laelina must have used a divine tool to make a death pact with the mysterious old woman, and they both died together.

At this moment, the demon general Bayke was guarding in front of the stone statue of Rez, staring at him hungrily.

Reginald did not say anything more about what happened afterwards.

After leaving the maze, he did not tell Ron the true outcome of the battle against the Demon King, nor did he tell anyone else.

Because he felt that everyone except himself would definitely misunderstand Laelina.

They would question Laelina, why she, who possessed the [Divine Artifact: Death Contract], did not choose to kill the Demon King, but instead chose to avenge her mother.

Reginald was grief-stricken and emotionally unstable, and out of selfish thoughts, he did not want Laelina's death to lose its value, so he chose to lie.

He announced to the world that Laelina had killed the Demon King Reiz, winning the title of "Hero" for Laelina.

This is where Reginald ends his story of the battle to subjugate the Demon King.

He told everyone that the reason why Ron was unable to recover was not because he lost the magic sword.

Ron's real problem was watching the person he admired die together with the enemy in order to protect him, while he, who was known as the strongest adventurer of [Fruit Wine], could not help at all.

That deep feeling of powerlessness completely crushed his pride.

From that day on, Ron was no longer the talented swordsman.

Mis didn't ask Reginald what happened next because it was obvious.

Reginald did not die and left the maze, and the demon general Bayke also guarded his master's heart.

Through Reginald's story, Miss finally understood why he had to take Ron back to the old place.

Reginald's plan is to have Ron defeat the demon general Baik, destroy the demon king's heart, and restore his confidence by protecting Laelina's reputation.

However, Miss did not think his plan was feasible. In fact, Ron escaped without even meeting the demon general.

Recalling the sad past, Reginald couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

Miss told him that she would help with Ron's matter.

Of course, it was not to help Reginald, but Miss wanted to help his partner's master.

Afterwards, Miss asked Reginald in detail about the two mysterious men.

A blind old woman and a middle-aged man with a black sword.

The two appeared after Laelina was promoted to LV7, and both of them were LV7. After arriving at the battlefield, they were determined to kill Laelina.

Miss didn't even need to think about it, these characteristics were exactly the same as the "servant" described by the old priest of Noren City at that time.

But now there is still a doubt in the whole thing, the only doubt.

The space jumping magic is restricted in the maze. How does the [Servant] get to the battlefield?

Could it be the same magic that the Archbishop used when he entered the maze to rescue Nora?

Could the Archbishop also be a member of the [Servants]?
