When Yujari and Miria arrive at the docks to meet up with Li Yaqi and the others, they are a little disappointed to learn that no one has found Konya.

"Let's go back to the hotel first." So, at Miria's suggestion, everyone returned to the hotel where they were staying.

"There it is!" Far away from the hotel, Li Yaqi saw Konya standing at the door of the hotel.

"Hey!" Conya heard Li Yaqi's shout, and happily waved her hand to Yujiali and the others.

"Hey, where did you go?" Yugari feigned anger and came to Conya and complained.

"Haha, what is this...... "Konya said embarrassedly, "I've been back to Night City again, and I've just come here." ”

"Let's go up and talk." Miria suggested, "I also want to hear about the Eternal City. ”

"Okay." Yugari said, "Then let's go to my room and talk."

So, everyone went upstairs together and came to Yujali's room. Eugaria poured a cup of tea for Cornya, and everyone sat in the center of the room, listening quietly to her story about her in the Eternal City.

"Here's the thing......" Conya said pretentiously as she sipped her tea leisurely.

On the second day of coming to the Eternal City, before it was completely dawn, Konya washed up early, ate early, left the inn, and ran straight in the direction of the Demon Sealing Tower.

Along the way, adventurers dressed in various strange costumes can be seen everywhere, and they gather in groups of three or five, while shopping for supplies in the bazaar, while moving in the direction of the Sealed Demon Tower. Konya was not interested in this, and after she came to the foot of the Demon Sealing Tower, she first entered the Guild Alliance Building next to it and explained to the person in charge that she intended to enter the tower. Then, under the guidance of the waitress, I went through various formalities along the way, paid the entrance fee to the tower, and was finally taken to a room dedicated to teleporting adventurers to the tower. It is a room made entirely of blue-and-white crystal, with some strange patterns and strange symbols carved on the floor.

"Are you ready?" The waitress asked politely, "After I leave in a moment, the sealing mage outside will start chanting spells. After that, there will be some abnormal reactions in this room, and when the reaction is over, the room will naturally disappear, and you will already be in the tower. Any questions? ”

"Nope." Konya couldn't wait to reply, "It's all ready to go." ”

So, the waitress left the room, and the moment the door closed, the room began to emit a faint white light, and the incantation patterns on the ground gradually shimmered with a bronze shimmer. However, it didn't take long for the crystal walls to disappear without a trace as the light on the spell pattern faded. What appeared in front of Konya's eyes was a tall and deep mountain cave, about ten meters high, with special moss attached to the rock wall, which emitted a faint light.

Konya immediately felt a deep malice coming from all directions, hugging her tightly, and the vitality and magic in her body could not be stopped from slowly draining away. "Is this the bottom of the Demon Tower?" Konya muttered to herself.

"Anyone?!" Konya shouted into the empty cavern in front of her, "Hey! Is anyone there? ”

"Anyone—anyone—there—" There was no movement in response to her cries, except for the echoes and a few faint noises that seemed to be buried in the deepest part of the cavern.

"I'd better hurry up and take a look. But it's not a solution to continue to lose vitality like this. The more time passes, the more dangerous it becomes, and it would be terrible if you encountered any monsters again." Thinking of this, Konya immediately summoned her silver-white metallic staff, and she shouted as she waved it, "Demon Secret Archive, Demon Lord!" In an instant, the extremely huge purple-black energy that gushed out from the staff continued to gather around like a vortex. As the chanting spell ended, a humanoid demon about 3 meters tall, dark gray skin, wearing purple-black battle armor, holding a broad-leaf giant sword with fiery red stripes, his eyes flowing with a blood-red shimmer, and his whole body was haunted by a faint layer of dark energy, suddenly appeared beside Konya.

"Alright, it should be fine now." As she spoke, Konya commanded the Demon Lord to walk deeper into the cavern.

Walk through a rugged and dimly lit rock tunnel that opens up the world of caves. Huge stalactites covet down the roof, sand and gravel on the ground, and occasionally a babbling stream flows through it. Conya observed the situation around her as she walked unhurriedly along the winding stream.

Suddenly, she noticed that a large rock in the stream in front of her seemed to tremble slightly.

"Mille-feuille Rock Crocodile." Konya thought to herself, "It's time to test the strength of the monsters here."

So, Konya immediately commanded the demon lord to rush forward.

The 'huge rock' saw a tall demon coming towards him, and immediately threw a sharp rock out of his body and smashed it at the demon lord. The Demon Lord immediately waved the broad leaves

The greatsword smashed the flying rocks to pieces. Seeing this, the mille-feuille rock giant crocodile immediately turned its bulky body and tried to escape, but before it could turn around, the demon lord rushed and appeared in front of it in an instant. At this moment, the Demon Lord raised the broad-leaved giant sword in his hand, and Tarzan slashed at the back of the giant crocodile. The armor on the crocodile's back, which was as hard as a rock, became vulnerable in front of the extremely powerful demon lord, and a deep crack was suddenly opened, and a large amount of blood instantly gushed out. The giant crocodile that had suffered such a huge blow swayed its body, struggling in pain, its limbs constantly kicking and beating the dirt beneath it, and barely moving with all its strength. At this time, the Demon Lord pulled out the giant sword trapped in the back of the giant crocodile and slashed it down again, thus cutting the giant crocodile's body into two parts, ending this short battle.

"It seems that the strength of the mille-feuille rock giant crocodile is no more than that. The back of the legendary "excellent grade" shield was shattered in just one moment, which is really weak. Konya said disappointedly, "Looks like the Eidolon is still on the upper floor." ”

Konya was not interested in cleaning up the battlefield or anything, and continued to walk in the direction of the stream towards the depths of the cave without looking back, looking for a passage to the upper level.

Along the way, in addition to the remains and bones of some monsters and monsters, you can occasionally see some adventurers who died here. There were more than thirty or fifty of them, and a few of them were alone, some of them had different heads, and some of their bodies were so vague that they could no longer distinguish their shapes. But Konya didn't care about any of that, and she wasn't interested in recycling their equipment and weapons. Sometimes, on the way, Konya would see caves with well-armed goblin shamans cooing around corpses. When they noticed Konya, they would immediately put on a fighting posture and be on high alert. But usually, Konya just glances at it and walks away, because she doesn't want to waste her precious time and energy on some useless fight.

"I see. The Goblin Shaman has survived here thanks to this sacrificial spell." Konya didn't speculate, "So, the other monsters must have some other way to survive here. If that's the case, over time, the last people left in the tower should be the top race of each layer of the food chain."

At this moment, a figure in the distance ran over and crawled to the ground, and suddenly fell in front of Conya, crying silently and begging, "Help me!" Please, help me! ”

Cornia looked at the bloodied, embarrassed man kneeling at her feet, and said disdainfully, "Do you know where the passage to the upper level is?" If you know, I'll help you. ”

As soon as Conya's words fell, a huge black shadow slowly walked around the corner in the distance, and the entire cavern seemed to tremble slightly with the sound of its heavy footsteps.

The man was immediately frightened, and said with tears in his eyes, "It's right in the middle of the lake in front of you." Help me! ”

After hearing this, Konya nodded and said, "Okay, find a place to hide, and wait until the time for the teleportation spell is up." With that, he grabbed the man's collar and threw it into the open space behind him.

At this time, the black shadow in front of him had already gone around the corner. It turned out to be a well-equipped giant goblin, more than two meters tall, equipped with some indecent black armor all over its body, carrying a metallic light gray giant hammer in its hand, walking slowly and heavily, towards this side.

"I guess it's all equipment stolen from some adventurers. Looking at the wounds on its body, it feels like it's almost dead without my hands at all." Konya thought contemptuously.

The giant goblin was shocked when he saw the demon lord next to Conya, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and he instinctively took a few steps backwards. But before it could turn away, the Demon Lord rushed forward with lightning speed, wielding a giant sword to kill the giant goblin in an instant.

"Whatever, it's all insignificant garbage. Anyway, why is such a weak creature here?' Konya thought as she continued to walk along the babbling stream in the direction of the source. As Konya walked, the dirt beneath her feet gradually began to grow a little weed, and then gradually transitioned into lush grass. Suddenly, a shallow pool of water appeared in front of Conya's eyes. The pool is crystal clear, and in the center is a small island made of gray-white rocks, and at the top of the cave on the top of the island, a light purple light pours down, reflecting the center of the island.

"I guess that's it." Konya thought, "I really don't want to get my clothes wet." Thinking of this, Konya immediately jumped on the Demon Lord's shoulder, sat on his shoulder, and commanded the Demon Lord to wade through the pool. After setting foot on the island, Konya disbanded the demon lord and walked alone to the lilac light. Suddenly, Konya's body floated up and then faded into the lilac light.

When Konya stepped on the ground again and regained her vision, she saw a verdant forest, a muddy mountain road under her feet, and stagnant water and silt everywhere, like a jungle swamp ecological environment.

"The most annoying thing is this kind of damp and muddy place, I feel uncomfortable all over my body, and everywhere is dirty." Konya was secretly complaining about her surroundings. Suddenly, I walked out of the woods on the left and right

Five or six adventurers, all armed with elaborate armor or ornate robes, armed with all sorts of magical weapons, surrounded them with malicious smiles on their faces.

"Little girl, one person dares to come to the second floor of the Demon Tower, it's really courageous." One of them, a thin man with long brown hair and a thin body, said in a weird way.

"Probably these are the people mentioned by the innkeeper before, who specialize in robbing adventurers in the Demon Sealing Tower. Judging by this person's posture, he must be the captain of this group." Konya thought as she said disdainfully, "What? Any questions? ”

"There is no problem, but if you want to survive, it is better to hand over everything that is valuable." The man said proudly.

"Don't say you don't." Beside him, a man holding a vermilion wooden staff said with a hippie smile, "There can't be a poor ghost who can afford to pay the ticket to enter here." Captain, let's not talk nonsense with her, right? ”

"It is estimated that it will take some time to summon the Demon Lord, and if you do it yourself, you will have to consume mana, and your health and mana are constantly draining, so you really don't want to waste it on these idiots, what should I do?" Just as Konya was thinking about this, suddenly, a shadow energy rushed out from the depths of the woods, and hit the man with the staff in his hand, accompanied by a piercing scream, he was instantly knocked far away, lying on the ground struggling in pain.

"Not good! That guy is chasing after you! The man known as the captain shouted in panic. Just then, another wave of dark energy struck him. Although the man immediately raised his shield to defend, he still took several steps back under the powerful impact before barely falling. At the same time, the others also retreated behind the man during the attack. "Shen Cheng, you cover! Hurry up and get out with me! After the man finished speaking, a group of people scrambled and fled into the depths of the woods.

At this time, the man who fell to the ground shouted hoarsely, "Wait...... I! Don't leave me, Captain! Before he could struggle to his feet, in the distant woods, a woman with a disheveled head, a face that could not be seen clearly, dressed in white, with pale skin and a thin body, immediately floated in front of him.

Seeing this, the man was immediately frightened, and sat on the ground with his legs weak. At this time, a large amount of dark energy surged from the woman's hands and struck the man. Before the man could react, he was again struck a long distance, rolling and moaning in pain on the dirt. At this time, a layer of pale green energy appeared all over the woman's body, and through a zigzag connection, she continuously absorbed energy from the man's body. In the process, the man's cry became more miserable, and his body began to wither and shrink continuously. Although he struggled with all his might, trying to get rid of the wires wrapped around him, he still couldn't break free. It didn't take long for the man to turn into a pile of white bones, scattered in the cold earth. Then, without looking back, the woman continued to float in the direction of the group of people fleeing just now.

"Resentful spirits?" Konya thought, "It's the first time I've seen it. However, it's not bad to make up for your own consumption by absorbing the other person's energy. Forget it, leave her alone, let's continue to look for my night spirit." So Konya summoned her staff again, summoned the demon lord again, and walked casually into the depths of the woods. As she walked, Cornia kept hearing hoarse shouts from the distant woods behind her, and although there were occasional sporadic fights, they soon disappeared into the rustling woods.

"There are no entities, they are not bound by time, and even if they can be temporarily dispersed by physical attacks, they will recover according to the damage. In general, physical attacks don't work very well. Konya muttered to herself, "It would be much easier if you could use divine spells." Purify, destroy, seal, destroy the created vectors, or fulfill the desires of the spirits...... That's pretty much the way to deal with them......"

At this moment, a light rain began to fall over the trees.

"Huh?! I didn't expect the weather to change in the Demon Sealing Tower. "I hate the rain the most, it's dirty and damp, and it makes a mess of my clothes and hair." So Konya quickly found a large tree with leafy branches and hid under it to avoid the rain.

As soon as she sat down next to the tree, she felt the whole tree shake violently. Before Konya could look back to see what was going on, countless branches stretched out from both sides of the trunk and hugged her tightly. Although the green energy attached to the branches was weak, it still made Konya feel that the energy in her body was losing at an accelerated rate. However, with a loud bang, the Demon Lord's broad-leaved greatsword severed the thick trunk at the waist, and Konya took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the branches. Although the trunk of the felled tree still slowly spreads countless twigs to crawl towards the roots of the tree, trying to regain its vitality, at least for a long time, it can no longer pose a threat to nearby creatures.

It didn't take long for the rain to stop, and there was no sound around but the sound of rain dripping from the leaves, and the woods were as quiet as death. Konya had barely walked far when she noticed the wraith from before rushing towards her from behind with a body of dark energy.

"It's a nasty place to trouble one after another." Konya grumbled helplessly.
