It looks like a storage room, or a storage room or something, but it's more than just a storage room—

Because, its area is so large that people can't help but be stunned!

And there are fairly thick brick walls on all sides......

It's like a fortification, and the whole space is incredibly large.

It's like a city built underground......

Of course, it may be an exaggeration to compare a building of this scale to a city city, but it is true that as far as you can see it, it is true.

However, as their eyes gradually adjusted to the dim light that spread all over the place, the ensuing scene surprised the two of them even more-

It turns out that in addition to the seemingly impregnable barriers, there are also all kinds of torture instruments scattered around!

"Wouldn't it?! What the hell is that guy up to? ”

They all look varied. Some of them have never been seen before, and they can barely be named.

"What the hell is this?"

Can't help but let Alan leak such a question.

It was easy to see that even now, even after witnessing it with his own eyes, he was still in an unbelievable shock.

"It looks like it's closer to the interrogation room, you don't have to think about it to know it's that guy...... The place where Ozman used to lynch. ”

"How do you know?"

For a moment, he was a little skeptical about Riveria's conjecture.

"Come over and take a closer look at the surface of these torture instruments yourself—"

Alan slowly approached the torture instruments and touched some of them with his hand to confirm it. It's surprising that......

The surface of them, those torture instruments, without exception, has a kind of slippery and warm feeling.

And this feeling ...... I am undoubtedly the most familiar with -

"Are these bloodstains? And is it blood stains that haven't completely dried yet? ”

"That's right, that's the main reason why I'm surmising it's an interrogation room."

"And if your ...... The members of the Knights are imprisoned here......"

"Professor, what do you want to say?"

"There is a good chance that they have been tortured to extract confessions."

Riveria smiled wryly and concluded.

"What?!"

In an instant, Allen's face turned pale, and he didn't even need to ask to understand what kind of mood he was feeling at this moment.

"You've thought of it for a long time, haven't you?"

"That's ......!"

That's right, just looking at these various torture instruments, it is easy to imagine how many innocent people there were......

Treated like a "prop" by Ozman.

And I don't know if that guy is still a pretty serious sadist.

- Look at the pain of others in order to get pleasure and the best sense of pleasure. It's unimaginable......

Even if you try to understand, you are destined to be incompatible with this kind of person.

"Professor, if things really go as you say, what about my companions?"

"I don't think I'll be treated in the worst way, right?"

The euphemism of "the most treated" in Riveria's mouth couldn't help but make Alan gasp!

Because he knows what that means.

I wanted to act as casual as possible, but I failed as a matter of course......

"If that guy's purpose is to wipe out the Knights Templar......"

"Your friends won't be treated the way you think—"

"At least until you have to step into his elaborate trap for reasons like camaraderie and bonding. Don't worry about their lives. ”

"However, it's hard to say now......"

“......”

"Anyway, let's try to find them first, shall we?"

"Good ......"

Alan has no objection to this proposal at all, no ...... Maybe he doesn't know what to do now, right?

What is the right thing to do?

To be honest, at a time like this, fortunately there is still Riveria by his side.

can help him point out the direction at this moment.

If you're the only one now, maybe you won't be able to do it at all.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden movement directly above her - it was a mechanism made to deal with intruders!

"Danger!"

Allen's eyes were quick, and with his incredible reaction speed, he quickly pushed Riveria, who was still in shock, to him!

Enabled her to avoid the traps! — even if it's just a fraction of a centimeter.

“......！”

And the price paid is that I was locked up in it!

"Why?"

He shrugged—

"You don't need a reason to do this kind of thing, do you?"

"Don't worry, it's just a broken machine, I can't help it."

However, Riveria made it clear that what she was worried about was not that Alan would get hurt or anything-

After all, with his skills, if he really wanted to get out of this thing, it would be easy at all.

"And what are you worried about?"

"The agency will be activated, which means that the fact that we have entered and come here has been exposed."

"That Ozman guy might send his pursuers in a moment—"

"Chasers? Obviously there are only two of us? ”

- His focus is on you, not me. Forgot?

The moment she told Allen about this speculation, he actually laughed......

"You, isn't this the time to laugh?"

It's true that it's not the time to laugh out loud with relief, but you can't just give up on yourself because of this, right?

"It's okay Professor, if it really comes to the point where I have to deal with that situation, I'll do my best to protect you-"

At this moment, a lot of crossbow-like weapons suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls!

At the same time, the cage that locked Eren began to rise slowly!

"Don't you ......!"

In an instant, Riveria figured out what the repeaters and the sudden rise of the cage meant, all in, were!

So, anxious and helpless, she had to shout-

"Alan, get out of there! Otherwise, you will be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows! ”

“！”

Being able to see through these in such a short period of time really surprised Allen.

But there was no other choice but to do what Riveria said.

"Got it, I'll give it a try!"

He drew the sword he had with him, intending to destroy the seemingly impossible cage in front of him, but ......

While Eren did wield a sword with enough power, it only sparked a little bit in the cage's bar.

"This guy is so tough?!"

What's even worse is that the reaction force that ensues, like a stormy wave, suddenly made his wrist temporarily unconscious.

After receiving such feedback, Alan had no choice but to put away the single-edged sword composed of plasma swords.

At the same time, the crossbows on the surrounding walls suddenly fired thousands of arrows!

"Alan!?"

Can this kind of mechanism still hear and distinguish position?

For a moment, Riveria didn't dare to look at what was going on. There's no way you'll be unscathed in that situation, right?

It was precisely because she expected this result that she did not want to see it with her own eyes - the cage did not last long to fall apart under the dense rain of arrows.

But should it be said that Allen's strength is not just for nothing?

The moment the cage shattered, he drew his plasma sword again as fast as he could!

The skill and reaction speed are simply incredible......

So, although he was still stabbed with dozens of arrows, this was already the best result.

- Only within the limits of what can be expected.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay...... Still, can you say that? ”

His self-deprecating remarks instantly relieved Riveria.

If you can still joke like this, maybe you really don't need to worry too much, right?

However, before the two of them could catch their breath from each other, the feeling that the ground under their feet had been quite solid until just now disappeared in an instant—

"Wouldn't it?!"

The two who lost their footing in the blink of an eye could only grab the nearest stone slab at the last moment!

And directly below the two of them, at this moment, it is like a bottomless abyss, and nothing can be seen. ——

I have to say that this kind of "hazy uncertainty" is the most terrifying.

However, if you continue to maintain this posture, your physical strength will bottom out first!

"Shhhh It's tricky! ”

Eren had wanted to use the plasma sword as a support to get back up and pull Riveria up, but it was too smooth here-

Nothing can stay here for a moment. At this moment, the two had to face a dilemma.

"Take a gamble, huh? How about going down and seeing? ”

"Down. Do you ...... go down? ”

For this proposal, Alan naturally has no reason to refuse.

Because, now, he unconsciously became inclined to rely on Riveria's judgment......

However, when the two fell below in a rather ugly position, they were greeted by the stench of corpses.

This is, only when the corpse is decomposed, the smell will be emitted-

I don't want to admit it, but this is the kind of place......

It wasn't until now that Riveria realized that maybe she shouldn't have come in, right?

However, in that case, the two had no choice at all.

“......”

"What do you think will be here?"

And the moment Riveria blurted out, she suddenly noticed one thing-

Alan doesn't know when he started and is no longer around!

At the same time, the sound of battle was heard from nearby!

But she couldn't tell which direction the voice was coming from!

"...... that?"

took out the flashlight she was carrying, and by the light, she saw countless corpses—

"Is this the breeding ground of the 'beast'?"

Their deaths were unimaginably hideous, and many of their bodies were even decapitated...... And there are obvious signs of being bitten!

"In other words, what I'm fighting with Eren right now is—"

Then, following the faint light that seemed to be extinguished at any time, she witnessed the bloody mouth that wanted to swallow Alan!

"I see, is that what happened? These people are ...... Be ...... by this guy! ”

However, at this moment, she knew better than anyone that she was not angry at this moment...... This level of emotion gets carried away when the mind!

Gotta find a way to save him!

However, why did the defenseless self say such unashamed words?

But just when Riveria seemed at a loss, she suddenly realized that the guy seemed to hate light so much.

That is to say...... Pregnant! ”

There was no doubt that this could be a breakthrough, and then she no longer hesitated to point the lighting device in her hand into the guy's eyes!

Sure enough, what happened next was exactly what I had just guessed -

It was indeed afraid of the light, and it also let go of the tentacles that had firmly bound Allen's hands and feet!

Instead, switch the target from him to Riveria.

"Oops!! Absolutely angry like that?! ”

She wanted to escape, but this place was a closed space at this moment, and the only exit was directly above-

In other words, unless you can grow wings now, you will never be able to escape!

“......”

But, apparently, it seemed to have forgotten about Allen's existence - and in an instant, he was slashed by him from behind!

"Thanks!"

"No, after all, as I said earlier, I will take responsibility to protect you."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to fall, and finally had to be supported by Riveria to barely maintain his balance for a moment.

"How's it going, can you still go? I wouldn't object to taking a break for a while, right? ”

But without thinking, he rejected the seemingly natural offer—

"I'm fine."

Although in his current situation, this statement is not even convincing at all.

"Got it, let's move on—"

As soon as the words fell, an entrance similar to a rope ladder appeared next to the corpse of the guy who had just been knocked down. The moment the two stepped in without hesitation......

Finally, I saw Vane imprisoned here. And three members of the Order!

“！”

However, just as they were excited about this, they suddenly found that the only exit was actually blocked!

"Sure enough, that Ozman guy wants the entire Knights Templar to die here!"

In an instant, an unidentified gas descended that made people feel very uncomfortable!

Chest tightness, difficulty breathing...... All kinds of discomfort came up in my head! Even the pulse ......

At this moment, Alan noticed a small window about a step away from the roof that could allow a person to pass through—

That's something like a ventilator!

If you can find a way to smash the glass there, you should be able to get out!

"Okay, let's do it!"

Later, with the help of Riveria, Alan finally broke the tempered glass on it......

To some extent, it should be said that he was saved.

However, before he could be happy for a while, the oncoming ** suddenly made him dumbfounded!

"Ozman, do you want to kill them all?!"

Immediately afterwards, he had no time to defend himself, so he could only be buried in the fire with the house that was set on fire in an instant......

“？！”

"Login authentication complete, Maste

...... It's been a long time. ”

"It's a good shot......!"

"More than that, Maste

——”

"Ahh

- After all, such a thing as being buried in the sea of fire, Alan can be respectfully thanked.

So he fused and continued in the moment when ** was about to hit himself!

And transformed the weapon in his hand into a silver-white shield, successfully avoiding Riveria and the people inside being implicated!

"Really, I'll just say it's almost there...... The so-called pursuers are you, right? ”

“......”

In front of him, blocking the way was a pitch-black mech.

Although I don't know exactly where the others are being held, it is probably difficult to continue looking for them if we don't solve the black guy in front of you first, right?

In that case, we can only knock this guy down first!

"Okay, I'll play with you!"

As soon as the words fell, Alan immediately made a provocative gesture......

In an instant, both of them launched a fierce attack on each other with the consciousness of killing each other!

No one knows what the outcome will be, but Alan is gradually unable to keep up with the opponent's speed with his bare hands......

"Tsk! Am I being suppressed?! ”

In the end, he was thrown neatly over the shoulder, and he fell to the ground solidly!

But he immediately stood up and also overturned his opponent-

However, I have to admit that the other party's attack is very strong! It's even hard to cope if you don't pay full attention!

So, he regained his grip on the weapon—

That's a common single-edged sword......

That said, Alan still has reservations.

But in an instant, he was faced with a zero-distance artillery attack from the palm of the opponent's palm-

"Bounced off?!"

As a result, he bounced back with the back of his sword in an instant...... Hit yourself impartially!

And at the moment when the other party staggered back, Alan stepped forward quickly, and in an instant, he carved scars one after another on his body in a quick attack!

It's an attack that seems to shatter any defense in an instant - there's no way to defend against it!

Then, Allen, who was chasing after the victory, smashed the opponent's energy core!

“......”

However, although there is a solid hitting feel, it is a little bit against the ......

"This guy, do you want to blow himself up?!"

At this moment, he finally realized why the other party was so "absent-minded" when he attacked! ——

The rapidly rising body temperature is proof of this!

"Have you been waiting for this moment?!"

At the moment when the other party rushed into his arms at all costs and hugged him, Alan finally noticed it......

But!

But it's impossible to get out now!

- Because, it seems...... In any case, the other party has no intention of letting go!

"Hey ......!"

"Damn! Damn it!! Damn it!!! ”

In an instant, they could only be swallowed together by indescribable flames......

No one expected such a result!

And Riveria could only take advantage of this gap to transfer the four people she found.

That guy's words, it must be fine!

Soon, Riveria, who had this idea, found Alan with a kind of burn in the grass not far away-

"Whew, just fainted......"

However, the rest of the population does not know where it is, which means that they will have to continue to face the ...... that may arise at any time

At the same time, it is inevitable that this will continue to happen. But you can't just give up because of that, right?

"Ah...... You're right. Go ahead, shall we? ”

So, the two continued to the next floor.

Of course, the four of Venn, who are temporarily unable to act at this moment, can only stay where they are-

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, just rest well, and when you recover, find a way to go back. Yuna is waiting for you—"

After saying that, Riveria, who didn't seem to be at ease, quietly leaned closer to Vane's ear again......

"I'm worried that Ozman will be bad for Yuna - you know?"

After understanding what she meant, Vane nodded.

"Leave it to me!"

However, Ozman's actions were obviously much faster than Vane's...... At this moment, Yuna has ......!
