The sound of the flames burning resounded clearly in the man-made stone labyrinth, shaking the air and the eardrums of those who entered it.

Compared to the real dungeon, this man-made labyrinth is a little different after all.

Dungeons are alive, it's a well-known thing.

It will breed monsters, let monsters emerge from the walls, and consciously create various abnormal situations, deliberately targeting adventurers who are deep in their bodies, so that adventurers can clearly feel the malice and hostility of the dungeon towards them.

The man-made labyrinth of Knossos is different.

You don't feel the quality of a dungeon here.

You don't feel the slightest bit of activity in a dungeon.

Everything here is full of inorganic feeling, eerie, silent, bleak, making the inside of the labyrinth full of heavy pressure and a sense of closure.

There are also monster statues everywhere, the walls are carved with delicate reliefs of plants, and the walls are inlaid with blue magic stone lamps, providing a faint light source to tell those who enter the place that this is a man-made structure after all, not a natural secret place like a dungeon.

The only place here that resembles a dungeon is the complex terrain and the labyrinthine construction of the road.

The entrance is connected by a one-way street, but at the end of the one-way street there are multiple forks, and the forks in the road are branched out like roots rooted in the ground, and finally turn into a real labyrinth, confusing the sense of direction of the intruder.

In addition, everything here is the same as the outside, made of orichal, steel, and exorcist stones.

Doors made of the hardest metal sit in all directions and in all passages.

The walls are made of super-hard metal, which are not as thick as the outer walls, but they are also infused with demonic stones that weaken the power of magic.

The hardest metal door and super-hard metal wall outside alone had already shocked the people of the Loki clan, and it turned out that there were such things everywhere inside, which really stunned the adventurers of the Loki clan one by one.

So, entering the labyrinth with a large army, Finn, who came to Rieger's side, made a conclusion.

“…… This is definitely not something that can be built in a moment, even if the other party has the money and no shortage of materials, it is impossible to build such a terrifying underground labyrinth in a few years or decades. ”

It must have existed for at least a few hundred years.

The people who built it could never have done it by themselves, but it would have taken hundreds of years and generations of inheritors to create such a great cause.

This is the man-made labyrinth Knossos, a dungeon that has been quietly carved out under the noses of the guilds and the clans, hidden under the belongings of Olari for hundreds of years and has never seen the light yet.

"I think I kind of understand where the second entrance to the dungeon is."

Loki said these words faintly, and a pair of divine eyes had already opened and seen through everything.

Rige glanced at Loki like this.

She was right.

The man-made labyrinth of Knossos is the second dungeon, and the second entrance to the real one.

It is extremely large, and it is located under Olarie, next to the dungeon, and eventually a lot of passages have been excavated, directly connecting to the various floors of the dungeon, and can communicate with the various floors of the dungeon.

Daedalus designed this man-made labyrinth in order to create a second dungeon, so this man-made labyrinth, like the dungeon, extends downwards, layer after layer.

Over the centuries, Daedalus and his descendants have carved out more than a dozen underground floors, each equal to a dungeon.

The first floor here is the first floor of the dungeon.

The 10th floor here is the 10th floor of the dungeon.

The two are located at the same depth and are connected to each other, with multiple entrances and exits.

In this way, the enemies hidden here avoid the eyes of the guild and the major clans in the city, freely enter and exit the dungeon, and bring out the monsters from there with impunity.

The monsters that were brought out were not only the colorful ones, but also those that were bred from the dungeons.

The members of the dark faction hidden here collect money by selling these monsters to people outside the city, and sometimes hunt on their own to obtain the materials they need, such as the flaming stones produced in the depths, so that they can live without leaving this man-made labyrinth, and even have the spare energy to continue to expand this labyrinth.

To this end, the people here also work secretly with many factions, and they have a mutually beneficial relationship with each other.

Therefore, the Loki clan will not only face the remnants of the dark faction, the dependents of the urban destroyers, and the tentacles of the filthy fairies, but also those who cooperate with them.

Finn and Loki relied on analysis and God's intuition to get a preliminary grasp of this information and share it with the members.

And when the members of the group were shocked by this, Finn licked his thumb and gave instructions after groaning.

"The enemy is far more difficult than we imagined, this is the enemy's base camp, or an earth-shattering base camp, we don't know everything here, we don't know what awaits us ahead."

"In this case, we can't rush to invest all our combat strength, otherwise it is very likely that we will fall into the enemy's trap and be wiped out without follow-up support or even rescue."

"We have to split into two teams here, the first team to continue to explore and the backup team to follow on."

Finn immediately made an assignment.

"This time, Grace and I are in charge of leading the team, and the cadres are all following us, and the second army is led by Raul and Angel, and half of the elite will join the advance team, and the rest will be led by Riveria, waiting outside."

Finn is obviously preparing to form a first-attack team with only high-end combat power to attack, and the second-level adventurers who are selected by him are basically second-level adventurers above Lv.3 and the cadres who are first-level adventurers, and only a few healers are below Lv.3.

The grassroots members join the support team, mainly Riveria, to keep an eye on the maze while protecting Loki and responding at any time.

"Looks like we can't get in."

Loki said this with regret, seemingly curious about this man-made labyrinth, fully demonstrating the gods' desire for the "unknown".

"Don't make a fuss, if something happens to you, we'll be all done."

Riveria did not object to Finn's arrangement, and even took care of Loki.

As the main god who bestows the favor of the gods, if something happens to Loki, then her sealed divine power will definitely be activated to prolong her life.

And once the gods of the Nether unleash their powers, for whatever reason, they will be judged to be out of the game called "Nether" and will be sent back to the Heavenly Realm.

Once the gods are repatriated to the Heavenly Realm, the favor of the gods behind their dependents will be nullified, causing them to lose their power and become a weak being no different from ordinary human beings.

In that case, they will never be able to use the power of their stats unless they find another main god to convert and awaken the favor of the sleeping gods.

With such an extremely deadly vital existence, the main god will naturally become the most important object of protection.

Rieger, of course, is an exception.

He had already discovered that with the skill of [Self-Redemption], he could not only update his ability points independently, but also be completely immune to physical interference, even if the main god was sent back to the heavenly realm, he would not be affected in any way, and he could still renew and use the favor of the gods.

He was even able to convert himself, that is, to another family.

Leaving the clan to which you are currently affiliated and transferring to another faction is a conversion.

Generally speaking, if an ordinary person wants to convert, he or she needs to first obtain the consent of the main god of the current clan, let the other party use the blood of the god to untie the shackles of favor, and then the main god of the other faction drip the blood of the god and re-conclude the contract.

In this way, the person will be able to continue to use the grace of the gods of the past and continue to exert the power of the past.

In other words, if you want to convert, you need not only the acceptance of the new Lord God, but also the consent of the old Lord God.

There was only one case, even if the old god disagreed, and the adventurers who had the favor converted.

That is, the other party had an accident and was sent back to the heavenly realm.

At this time, although the favor of the clan members belonging to this main god will be invalid, it is equivalent to no longer being bound by the old main god, and you can choose the clan you want to join and reactivate the ability value on your back.

Rigg is different.

Even if Loki is sent back to the Celestial Realm and has a skill that is immune to physical interference, the ability value on his back will still be effective and will never be invalidated.

Even if he doesn't have the help of the main god and has the ability to update his ability points independently, he can use the blood of other main gods to convert on his own, without the consent of the old main god at all.

In a sense, Rige's favor can no longer be regarded as a divine favor, but his own favor.

The only factor that limits his ability value is divine blood, whether it is updating his ability value or converting to another clan, he needs the corresponding divine blood support.

But this limitation doesn't matter at all.

In this world, divine blood is not difficult to obtain, and there is even a black market in the "Labyrinth Paradise" on the 18th floor that specializes in selling unlocking drugs made with divine blood as raw materials that can unlock ability values and update drugs that can update ability values.

It is not very difficult for the all-knowing and zero-capable gods in the Nether to get their blood.

There is also a large bottle of Loki's divine blood in the storage space of the Rig Dimension Rubik's Cube, and if those divine blood is used to update the ability value, it is enough to use it hundreds of times.

Therefore, Riger was the only one present who didn't have to worry about the loss of favor, but he wouldn't sit idly by and watch something happen to Loki.

At that moment, under Finn's command, everyone quickly divided into teams.

The support team exited the labyrinth under the leadership of Riveria, and the first attack team was fully armed, and some people brought spare weapons, supplies, elixirs and other recovery items from outside, so that each group member who was also a supporter carried heavy backpacks.

Refia also put on her backpack and followed behind Rig and Ace, clutching her wand and waiting for it.

She was also selected for the first attack.

Refia, who is already Lv.4, will take Riveria's place this time, making up for the lack of powerful defenders in the team, and making the girl feel a great responsibility.

"It's okay, you can do it."

"Well, Refia is amazing."

Rig and Ai had no doubts about Refia's abilities, and one after another comforted the elf girl who was feeling the pressure.

It was Diona and Theogne, both of whom were worried because of their love, and they both subconsciously instructed Refia.

"Remember to keep up with us, Refia."

"You are an important magician and supporter, and in Rivilia's absence, you are our most important backing, and we will protect you."

That's what the Amazon's twin sisters said.

"You little coffee, remember not to pull me back."

Only Bert was there talking coldly.

"Alright, boy, don't say a word."

Wearing a helmet and armor, Grace slapped Bert on the back, almost missing him.

"Okay, let's use this formation."

"Well, the cadres are responsible for clearing the way in front, and we'll use this formation in the back to advance while protecting the magicians and healers who are also supporters."

Raul and Angel, who were assigned to lead the Second Army and the rank and file, discussed with each other, and after obtaining Finn's consent, they finalized a strategy to deal with various emergencies and unexpected situations.

Looking at this scene, Li Ge said silently in his heart.

"Let's hope these strategies work."

No wonder he thinks so negatively.

Only he knew how much of the labyrinth ahead of him was beyond the norm.

It's not a real dungeon, but even compared to a real one, it's as dangerous as it gets.

In the original book, the first casualties of the Loki family when they first entered this man-made labyrinth.

Even the Loki family, who did not lose a single person during the expedition, ushered in death and injury in this man-made labyrinth.

Even, even Finn almost died, and the rest of the first-level adventurers were also in danger, and if they took a wrong step, they would fall into hell and die directly.

Including Ace, who nearly died at the hands of the weirdo and was taken away by the red-haired weirdo.

Thinking of this, Rig couldn't help but look at Ace.

“…… What's wrong? ”

Noticing Rige's gaze, Ace turned her head and asked softly.

"No, nothing."

Rige shook his head, shifting his gaze to Finn, Grace, Bert, Tina, Thiogne, Refia, Raul, and Angel under Ace's puzzled gaze.

Compared with the original book, the strength of the Loki clan is much stronger now.

"Finn and Grace have already risen to Lv.7."

"Angel and Raul have also been promoted to Lv.5."

"Even Refia has been promoted to Lv.4, Ace's ability value is also much higher than at this time in the original book, and she has mastered the breath of the wind, and the rest of the team members are more or less stronger than at this time in the original book."

Rig lifted his eyes and looked ahead of the one-way street.

"Just let me see, in the face of this lineup, can you still almost eat us like the original trajectory."

The biggest variable in the team let out a small murmur, making the darkness ahead seem to be dispelled.

Soon the advance attack team launched an operation.

The man-made maze strategy has officially begun.
