"Are they really okay with Areb?"

Cautiously striding through the passage leading to the underground chamber, Kaiya asked Lanka on the side with some concern, the white light on the wall falling on her cheeks as she approached, and her originally beautiful face was now shrouded in a hazy uneasiness. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

The other side of the abandoned escape route is connected to a place in the royal palace, and if it is to rescue the imprisoned, it is usually the first to go to the dungeon, but the reason why the rescue team chose to go deep into the palace at this moment is completely based on Kaiya's opinion.

Having lived in the royal capital since childhood, Kaiya, who had served as the captain of the guard, knew very well that important figures like Emperor Kilgaru and Princess Dorasha would be kept in a more secret place than the dungeon, the royal chamber, which was classified as a forbidden place.

Of course, since it is called a forbidden place, it must be very closely guarded, and thanks to Areb and Acereth, who volunteered to lure away a large number of guards as bait, Kaiya and Lanka were able to enter the passage to the secret room smoothly.

Although the other party is a monster, the thought that they are in a brutal battle that is very likely to kill Kaiya still feels a trace of guilt and sadness in her heart.

"Don't worry, don't look at Areb's short stature, they are all goblins close to the general level, and with Acereth here, there will be no problem."

Lanka smiled, as if cheering her on, and patted her on the shoulder. Of course, Lanka didn't say this just to comfort Kaeya, but because he believed in his companion's performance.

"Yes."

Lanka's smile was like a warm sunshine that lifted the haze in Kaeya's heart, and she nodded a little reassuringly.

After the two of them walked diagonally down the passage for quite some time, a wall suddenly appeared in front of them, and it seemed that they had entered a dead end.

"It's strange, there is no way, did we just go wrong?"

Lanka looked at the wall in front of him and frowned.

"No, that's it, look at the magic array above, this is a magic door that can identify the identity of the entrant, it seems that if you want to enter, you can only destroy it."

Kaiya reached for the saber at her waist.

"If you force open this door, you may be attacked, so let's check if there is a hidden mechanism first."

Lanka held Kaeya's hand down, stopping her impending attack.

“…… Good ......"

The temperature of Lanka's fingers reached her hand, and for some reason Kaeya suddenly became a little nervous, and she lowered her head and responded softly.

As Lanka and Kaiya fumbled on the smooth wall, the entire wall suddenly and slowly disappeared. The secret room that appeared in front of me seemed to be different from the imagination in my mind, the whole secret room was quite large, under the lighting of the magic light source, it was as bright as being in the sun, and there were many strange equipment and crystals placed in it, it looked like a research institute.

It's just that there is no one in there at the moment, and there is a huge pit D in the center, and the things stored there before must be very large.

"Dora, Dora!"

The sight in front of him made a flash of unease in Lanka's heart, and when he was about to remind Kaia behind him, Kaiya had already rushed in while shouting.

"Kaia, wait."

So, Lanka also ran in.

Just after both of them entered the secret room, the only entrance and exit became a wall again.

"Look at how you're dressed as the former Captain of the Guard, Kaeya Landsworth."

The sudden appearance of the man's voice echoed through the empty chamber.

"Kaiya be careful!"

Lanka lunged at Kaiya with an arrow and rolled to the side with her in his arms, and almost at the same time, countless red sword lights fell from the place where Kaiya was standing, and the rocks on the ground were shattered in an instant, raising a cloud of dust.

"Looks like that's what they call 'Flame Kaia', but you seem to have some skills."

The young man who came out of the flying dust, wearing a black metal cuirass, his exposed arms covered with strong muscles, and under his short golden hair, a pair of wolf-like eyes were staring at Lanka, which showed excitement similar to that of a wild beast when it found its prey.

"I am Lanka-Kyrgyz of the Republic of All Peoples, are you?"

Lanka looked at Kaiya beside her, and after making sure she wasn't hurt, she stood up and asked the man in front of her.

However, the other party did not answer Lanka's question, but laughed contemptuously.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to tell my name to someone who is about to die."

The moment the man said this, he suddenly disappeared in front of Lanka.

"What!"

Kaiya, who had just risen from the ground, let out an exclamation of disbelief.

At the same time, Lanka pushed Kaia aside hard, then turned around and waved the greatsword in his hand.

The golden sparks scattered in all directions with the crisp sound of metal clashing, and Lanka's arm felt a violent vibration, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back in order to defuse the powerful impact.

"Dynamic eyesight is quite good, even the strength is very good, if you continue to exercise, you can grow into a famous warrior, but unfortunately, you are going to die here today."

The man spat out his tongue, which was as thin as a snake, and licked the steel claws he wore on his hands as weapons.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to die here."

Even after only a short exchange, Lanka could feel that the other party's strength was very strong, he took a deep breath, turned to Kaia, and said with a pretended relaxation.

"Kaiya, please stay away as much as possible, I'll knock this guy down."

"Well, well, you have to be careful."

Although I really want to fight side by side with Lanka, but compared to Lanka, who can defeat Buman with one blow, he is too weak, and staying will only be a burden, so in order not to distract Lanka, Kaiya can only nod patiently and obediently.

"Huh, knock me down? You were absolutely able to defeat me, it seems that your judgment is very problematic. ”

The man laughed as if he had heard some joke, and although he was facing a life-and-death battle, his tone was extremely relaxed.

"Then let's see whose judgment is in trouble!"

Lanka rushed towards the man in one go.

The extremely fast impact speed produced an afterimage visible to the R eye, which was the effect of using the martial art "Flowing Water Acceleration", Lanka quickly appeared in front of the man at a speed that ordinary people could not react to, and swung the giant sword in his hand horizontally.

If it's a warrior who doesn't have any skills, I'm afraid it has been cut in two at this moment.

But as if trying to show off his strength, the man remained motionless until Lanka's blade was about to touch his body. He flashed effortlessly against the blade with an eerie pace that almost slid onto it.

It's not over yet!

Although the attack he used with the martial art he had learned from Ace Race was so easily dodged, Ranka did not show the slightest frustration, but used the power of muscle R to forcibly stop the inertia of the blade and start the martial art again.

"Octagon Spike!"

This is a martial arts skill inherited from the dead Anjef, and it is difficult to dodge because it can unleash attacks in eight directions at the same time.

But the man skillfully passed his body between the two sword qis, and instead of being repelled by Lanka's martial arts, he came further in front of Lanka.

The sharp steel claws fell like lightning from top to bottom, and Lanka hurriedly retreated, but the left side of his face was still cut by the steel claw at the very end, and there were four deep claw marks on the armor on his body.

Sweat oozed from Lanka's forehead, and he exhaled a long breath as if he was about to exhale all the mental pressure.

"If you have any skills, hurry up, I don't have much patience to warm up with you."

The man's tone was full of provocation, and he licked the steel claw that had scratched Lanka with his tongue, and then his eyes suddenly glowed with extreme excitement, and he shouted loudly like a magic barrier.

"I see, I see."
