Gap.

Although he was aware of it when he fought Mia, it was only when the Glory One was truly in the third party's shoes that he realized how far he and the Order's sword-wielders were in terms of fighting skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is like the next abyss.

Although Mia wielded a silver-white crosssword that looked a few points larger than her, her killing pace did not stop in the slightest, and hundreds of underground monsters swarmed from all corners of the mine one after another, and the dense scarlet eyes almost illuminated the entire underground world - but it was never them who took the initiative in battle, but the petite and graceful sword-wielding.

Like a one-man show, the dead angels danced among the demons, the silver sword light was like snow like a waterfall and like a lightning bolt falling from the sky, even if the sight was full of terrifying scarlet eyes, but under this spilled pure light, they were greeted only by the purest death.

Even if she just looks at it from a distance, Amy can feel a thrilling beauty.

The girl's sword swinging action is so chic, the pace of the girl's feet is so gentle, the strength of the girl's hand is so symmetrical, the rhythm of the overall battle is so smooth, the flowing movements coupled with elegant and calm sword skills, she is transcendent on the entire battlefield, just the gesture has an indescribable spirit, not to mention the scarlet flowers that bloom around her anytime and anywhere-

Mia at this time is undoubtedly extremely beautiful.

But the young man didn't have the heart to appreciate it, he just looked at the sword-wielder who was opening the way in front of the mine, and unconsciously rubbed the short sword he held in his backhand.

If...... If it were him, would he still be so relaxed?

He narrowed his eyes, and the answer naturally appeared in his mind.

The underground monsters cultivated by the Dark Guild are very strong, but they are only relatively strong in ordinary people, and they are strong within the common sense of human beings, not to mention the Glory or the Sword Bearer, even the patrols in the lower areas can deal with this seemingly terrible but clumsy monster in a one-on-one situation - it's just...... When they form a certain number, dozens, hundreds, of monsters come together, and the pressure generated will be completely different.

Up, down, left, left, right, right, BA, BA - no, it's the front and back, and everywhere you look is a huge, hateful cannibal monster, like a tide that has no dead ends and is not afraid of death from all directions. The swarming of people coming forward and one after another, there will be no respite at all, and there is no place to rely on in the back, there are dangers everywhere, and they may die at any time, it is a real battlefield, and it is a real Shura field, there is even the slightest wavering in the heart, there is even the slightest delay in the action, and what awaits her will be the death that will come.

If it were him, he wouldn't have been able to do it.

Although he was born with an intuition for combat beyond the imagination of mortals, and his body's instinct was no stranger to killing, after all, this body had only practiced the most basic sword skills in the academy, not only lacked systematic teaching, but also lacked the corresponding experience and skills, if he only relied on the subconscious reaction of the body's instinct, then he could only deal with every attack launched by the monster towards him with difficulty, and when he was in a hurry, the balance of victory and defeat would slowly tilt in the direction he did not want to see.

Will die - will be killed.

If there had been no premonition of death, this would have been the outcome that awaited him.

On the other hand, among the hundreds of monsters, she is not like a fish in water, at least she is at ease, the pace under her feet is always so steady, the expression on her face is always so calm, the silver and white sword in her hand is always so clean and neat, and the efficiency of killing has not only not decreased in the slightest so far, but is still faintly rising, in contrast...... The number of monsters began to decrease little by little.

Until—

The last drop of blood dripped from the frost-white blade.

The world is quiet again.

"What's next. The high-intensity battle did not leave any traces on the girl's body, not even the slightest rise and fall in her chest, and her gray robe was still so clean that it was impossible to tell that she had just finished a massacre, "The enemy has been cleared." ”

"Just go straight ahead. The beautiful boy in the dice house said with a smile on his face, ignoring the pile of corpses under his feet, "These monsters are a by-product of the dark guild's deployment of demons, and they are abandoned here as guards. ”

"Where's the guide?" the sword-wielder raised an eyebrow.

"It's just a guide to the Ildan pit. Dick spread his hands, "Don't expect an ordinary miner to pass through the demon-guarded passageway, he doesn't know anything about it, so there's no need to drag unrelated people into our fight." ”

"Correct," Mia swung her sword and threw her red blood to the ground, "my fight." ”

"Well," said the blond-haired boy with a shy face, "it's all the same thing anyway." ”

"Ulysses," the sword-wielder looked at the Glory One, who had not said a word from the beginning, preferring to believe the young man in front of her who knew nothing more than the dice house, and of course—only relatively, "there were three forks in the road ahead." ”

"Three forks in the road...... "Three forks in the road" slowed down a beat, and Amy, who was immersed in her own thoughts, reacted and looked at the apostle beside her, "Dick, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Unfortunately, no. The beautiful boy from the dice house couldn't help but shake his head, "The dice house is still quite far from being omniscient, and we can't do anything beyond our strength, such as ...... Over here. ”

After a pause, he explained: "The Dark Guild is not a cat or a dog, in comparison, the dice house is a small organization, I took a considerable risk this trip, if it fails, then it may not only be me, even our dice house will be wiped out of Hemtika." ”

"Oh...... Is that so?" the young Glory Man touched his chin, he didn't believe a word about Dick's words, maybe there would be a certain gap between the Dice House and a big organization like the Dark Guild in terms of combat power, but in terms of status, the Dice House that had provided funding for Emperor Michelangelo's ascent to the top was no worse than other organizations, and it was definitely a behemoth that no one could underestimate in the lower districts of Hemtica.

"Hey, don't be so perfunctory. A bitter smile appeared on the face of the blond-haired and blue-eyed boy, "I'm not lying, although our dice house is not a small organization in the lower districts, but it can't be compared with behemoths like the Dark Guild, you must know that the three forces of Emperor Michelangelo, the House of the Lost and the Dark Guild are collectively called the 'Three Pillars of Cornerstone', and they are the builders and rulers of the order in the lower districts." ”

This is the first time I have heard this statement. Amy narrowed her eyes, although she was still suspicious of the information that Dick had revealed, but it did not prevent him from using it to integrate the existing information, "Is the reason why the lower districts are in chaos because the balance of these three forces has been broken?"

"Well...... I didn't say anything. ”

The apostle of the dice house looked away and looked up at the sky.

"If you can only choose one. Seeing that the other party had the intention of ending the topic, the Glory One did not continue, his trust in Dick was already quite limited, and after discovering more and more strange things about the other party along the way, this already limited trust has become even thinner, "Then choose the middle one...... At least judging from the traces, it should be the oldest of the three. ”

"No comment. ”

The sword-wielder nodded, and without any superfluous indication, went straight into the darkness.

"I'm sorry for you to make signs and markings. ”

Amy wasn't ignorant of the intricacies of the mines, but he wasn't a professional at all, so he could only leave the job to the Dice House Apostle, whom he increasingly distrusted, and then follow the girl who was one step ahead - he didn't plan to give all the monsters to the sword-wielders of the Order, if he could, he planned to use the hands of these monsters to hone his sword skills - and take a step back, even if he didn't have the opportunity, he could also observe and learn from it up close.

He aspires to be strong.

- Become stronger than anyone else.

"Nothing hassle, no hassle. The beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes seemed to be ignorant of the suspicions of the Glory, and waved his hand at him with a rather hearty smile, "This is originally my job, you go over and clear the obstacles on the road first, I don't have to worry about it, I am also the apostle of the dice house, and the scattered monsters can't hurt me." ”

It wasn't until he saw the figures of the two disappear in the darkness that the hearty smile on his face gradually faded.

"At least seventy or eighty. His gaze swept around the corpse-covered ground, and the beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes narrowed his eyes slightly, "Two or three more battles of this intensity will alarm the Dark Guild, and in this way, it will not be in vain for me to take them down this road." ”

That's right, he did it on purpose.

Whether it's leading the way, or the news that the underground monster is the guard of the Dark Guild, it's all deliberate.

Although this path is indeed the right path to the Dark Guild, and although the underground monsters do act as guards for the Dark Guild to a certain extent, in fact, the path that the Glory and the Sword Bearer have embarked on is a passage that was abandoned a long time ago - and the reason for abandonment is actually very simple, that is...... These monsters have long regarded this area as their lair, even if it is the Dark Guild itself...... It's also impassable!

After all.

The biggest monster in the lower districts, the biggest trump card of the dark guild -

The terrifying demon known as the Mother of Darkness inhabits here.

If it weren't for the hands of the two free thugs, the Glory One and the Sword Wielder, it would have been a bit tricky for him to deal with such a behemoth alone.

There is no way, who let him get along with such an ignorant monster is too bad, and the employer has put forward such a wayward demand that the dark guild must be eliminated, if it were not for the expectation that he can make a big fuss in the lower districts, he will not take on this troublesome errand.

Thinking like this, the knife in his hand turned around, and then he took a light breath at the rock wall—a fork that was not too big or small appeared in front of him.

"Seeing this mark, you should know which way to point your employer," Dick sighed softly, put away his knife, and turned to sink into the middle of the tunnel, a little later, a name came out of the darkness, "White." ”
