On this night, the sky was not only not full of oppressive and heavy dark clouds as the wind and rain were coming, but showed the clarity of not a single floating cloud, which made the bright stars like jewels and a bright moon become particularly conspicuous, and even attracted many bards to stop and watch.

Only those who know that the city is on the verge of destruction know that this clear night sky is perhaps the most dangerous thing.

[Six Rings of Immortals], which descended in ancient times and defeated the Heavenly Light of Nidhogg.

With such a radiance, maybe it's just right to descend in such a clear night sky, right?

With this thought, the adventurers who were about to invade the artificial labyrinth were nervous, uneasy, afraid, or worried to go to the battlefield they were about to go to.

For example, the Loki clan divided into four routes in the middle of the way, each heading to the waiting place.

The first, second, and third troops, led by Finn, Riveria, Grace, and others, will head to Daedalus Road.

The Sixth Army, led by Rige, will head to the 9th floor of the dungeon.

"Be careful."

"Take care."

"Don't die."

Finn, Riveria, and Grace didn't say anything more, looking at Rig and Refia who were separated from the team, they just sent a brief blessing.

“…… Come on. ”

Ace also stood beside Riveria, looking at Rige and Refia opposite, and was silent for a long time before saying such a sentence.

"Gotta win! Rieger! ”

"Don't push yourself! Refia! ”

Raul and Angel were a little worried, looking at Rig and Refia, who were about to leave, and couldn't help but say more words one after another.

"Cut, instead of worrying about them, let's worry about our side."

"There's Rieg here, there's no way."

"Refia is also Lv.4, so it's going to be fine."

In contrast, the heavily armed Bert was lukewarm, but the constantly wagging tail revealed his true mood.

Theona and Theogne were still the same, one grinning and not at all worried, and the other hugging Refia and encouraging her.

In the same way, the other members of the clan paid tribute to their companions who were about to follow Rig and Refia on their journey.

"I'll be careful, and everyone must be careful!"

After whispering a few words to Thiogne, Angel, Arisia and others, Refia opened her mouth with red eyes.

"Let's win together."

Only Lige, as if he was not about to go to the battlefield, his tone and expression were as calm as ever.

However, a few people also noticed that at this moment, the weapon hanging on Li Ge's waist was no longer the crystal sword that everyone was familiar with before, but a black knife that faintly exuded a scorching aura.

The Sword of the Fool that Rig had been using was hung on Ace's waist, replacing the sword of despair that the girl had barely left in her hand.

This change, if it weren't for this moment, would definitely arouse the curiosity of countless people, so that everyone couldn't help but ask, right?

Now, it's clear that everyone is not in such a mood.

"Get the win."

"Get the win."

The two men responded to Riege's words at the same time, nodded heavily to each other, and then parted without pretension, each running to the battlefield where they were.

Rieg and Ace were the last to turn their heads apart.

The two looked at each other until they all turned away, and then they turned around and followed the large army.

So, under the leadership of Rig, there were about twenty people, and a team of supporters, healers, and magicians entered the dungeon, and passed through the first eight floors at a rapid speed to reach the ninth floor.

The entrance and exit to the man-made labyrinth Knossos is at the edge of this level, deviating from the main route to the 10th floor, like the former 24th floor food store.

Coupled with the fact that it was night, adventurers would hardly explore the dungeon at this time, so Rig and his party came to the entrance and exit of the edge area without encountering any accidents or witnesses.

Here, the Fourth and Fifth Forces, which consisted mainly of the Hephaestus and Ganesian clans, had all arrived, and the place was densely packed.

"The people of the Loki clan are here!"

"The Sixth Unit is here!"

"The [Limit Breaker]...... Here it comes! ”

They noticed the quietly arrived Li Ge and his party, and while opening their mouths to warn, they involuntarily separated the formation, allowing Li Ge and the others to pass through the middle.

"It's finally here, you guys."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Shakti, Tsubaki, Asfi and Aisha immediately greeted them.

Without exception, all of them looked like they were fully armed, and not only were they extremely well equipped, but they also had several packages hanging from their legs and waists, which seemed to be stuffed with all kinds of supplies.

Even Tsubaki, who used to show his skin without hesitation, now wears a finely made armor, and the equipment box on his back has been replaced by a backpack, which not only contains weapons, but also various props.

Rig could feel a great wave of magic coming from that equipment box.

Presumably, there must be a lot of magic swords in it, right?

"It seems that Tsubaki is bleeding heavily this time."

Thinking of such a thing in his heart, Li Ge asked everyone.

"How's the entrance going?"

Hearing this, everyone did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"No anomalies have been found so far, although a few man-eating flowers have escaped, but the green meat has been cleared and will not hinder our invasion."

Shakti said as he led Rig to the entrance.

It was a hollow in one of the deepest walls in the area.

The cavity is surrounded by super-hard metal walls, and the ground is littered with debris.

It was a fragment of the hardest metal door.

The entrances to the man-made labyrinths found in the dungeon, without exception, are blocked by the hardest metal doors in the sewers of Daedalus Road.

But after finding them, Finn also gave Rig a task to destroy all the doors.

The same is true of the entrance and exit in front of him, after it was found, it was Li Ge himself who took action and ruthlessly destroyed it.

So, the hardest metal doors are gone, and only the walls that prevent the dungeon from regenerating, the super-hard metal walls mixed with the magic stones, and a hole that leads to the interior of the labyrinth, which is full of broken green flesh.

"Really, it's a terrible thing to throw all the hardest metals so precious on the ground."

Tsubaki, a forger, looked at the shards of ordrichine copper all over the ground, but expressed some dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, no one will pay attention to her at all.

"Now that the green meat at the entrance and exit has been cleared, let's get ready." Li Ge observed for a while, and then said to everyone: "The side of Daedalus Road should also be in place, and the strategy may start at any time." ”

"Okay."

The women immediately nodded and went down to prepare without complaint.

Faintly, they also have a tendency to be led by Riege, so they have no complaints about Rieger's almost commanding behavior.

This is naturally because Rig is the strongest person on the scene, and he is the only Lv.7 in the fourth, fifth, and sixth troops.

There isn't even a Lv.6 in these three troops, and the highest level except for Rig is Lv.5, so everyone naturally subconsciously obeys the orders of the only Lv.7 present.

“…… No problem? Mr. Rieger. ”

Refia came to Rige's side, looked at the entrance to the man-made labyrinth that was waiting for them to rush into like the maws of a ferocious beast, and asked in a low voice with an uneasy face.

"Of course." Li Ge stretched out his hand, touched the elf girl's head, and said, "This time, we will definitely win." ”

"Hmm."

Refia nodded, and the uneasiness on her face began to turn to determination.

Time passed minute by minute while everyone was waiting.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that a voice came from a sapphire-like crystal in the hands of Lige, Shakti, Tsubaki, and the others.

This is a magic item called the eye crystal, which was created by the magician Firth who has mastered the two development abilities of "mystery" and "magic" to a very high level, and it is a magic tool that can transmit information between the two places and allow the person holding the eye crystal to communicate with each other.

This is the only communication item that exists in modern times, and if the materials are not complete, it will be difficult for even Felth to make it.

And like Fels, the [Almighty] Asfei, who is active in the world as a magic prop master, is completely unable to make this kind of magic props, so that he is now hiding in the corner, with a face of unwillingness.

It's a pity that what happened next will not be interrupted because of personal emotions.

"Attention troops."

The voice that came out of the eye crystal was none other than the leader of the Loki clan, the leader of the Lilliputies, and the general leader and commander of this artificial labyrinth raid - Finn Timna.

His voice was heard clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"First of all, I need to state here that this is a battle that will not be known."

The leader of the Lilliputian clan made a statement in a calm, intellectual, and rational voice.

"We will rush to the battlefield without anyone knowing, and we will be thrown into a death fight that will not be rewarded."

"It's a very tough battle."

"This is a very dangerous battle."

"There is no doubt that there will be victims, and there will be people who will fall halfway through."

"And no one even knows what they died for, and there is no way to let everyone know how heroic they fought like the adventurers who died in the dungeons."

Finn's overly realistic and cruel statement made many people quietly clench their fists and grit their teeth.

The so-called murder is nothing more than this.

However......

"Even in such a brutal battle, we still need to take up arms and fight to the end!"

"Because, if we don't do this, not only us, but everyone will face an even more cruel reality!"

"We must fight! It can only be fought! Even if someone falls down next to us, we can't stop! ”

"So, everyone, get ready, even if we step on the corpses of our comrades, we will win this battle!"

Finn's voice began to grow intense, injecting a fire into everyone's hearts.

"The victims who no one remembers will be remembered forever by those who survived!"

"No one will inherit the great cause of saving the city, and it will be passed on by the survivors!"

"Even if this war will not be praised by posterity! There is no wealth or fame! We too will be the unsung heroes! ”

"Let's save the world!"

As the last sentence sounded, a stream of heat poured out from the hearts of those who clenched their fists without exception.

It's called euphoria.

It's called the fighting spirit of the dead.

They will stand here, apparently not for fame, not for wealth, but to save the city.

They couldn't watch Olari be destroyed, and they couldn't watch the Nether return to that dark time of misery.

That's why they're standing here.

And since they are standing there, it means that they understand how difficult this battle is, and how dangerous the battlefield they are about to go to is.

Even so, they came.

In other words, they are mentally prepared to sacrifice something.

Even if they die, they have to stop the enemy, and with this belief, they will stand here.

Looking at this scene, Rig did not hesitate to launch the magic that had been prepared for a long time.

At this moment, in front of the pit on Daedalus Road and at the entrance to the man-made labyrinth on the 9th floor of the dungeon, a giant magic circle appeared at the same time.

There's a magic called Positioning Marker.

Unlike the Group Marker, which Rige used in the past to make his magic work on the marked person, the Locator Marker is a type of magic that allows the magic he will use next to appear on the marked location.

Rig had already set up a [location mark] in front of the pit on Daedalus Road and at the entrance to the man-made labyrinth on the 9th floor of the dungeon.

Therefore, when he unleashed his magic, whether it was in front of the pit on Daedalus Road or at the entrance to the man-made labyrinth on the 9th floor of the dungeon, there was a magic array that was about to be activated.

Rigg sings about the magic that is crucial in this battle.

"[Tenth Order Monster Summon]!"

"[Tenth Order Undead Summon]!"

"[Tenth Order Angel Summon]!"

"[Tenth Order Demon Summon]!"

As the highest-level summoning magic was activated one by one, summons that only exuded an astonishing aura also appeared in the magic array one after another, appearing in front of everyone's eyes.

"Roar!"

"Whew!"

"Gah!"

"Whew!"

A terrifying roar rang out one after another, causing some of the most ominous-looking evil summons to emit a terrifying miasma.

“…………！”

The adventurers couldn't help but exclaim.

But Finn's voice did not stop at all, and he gave the order straightforwardly.

"Let's go!"

In this way, the artificial maze raider battle officially began.

Six troops rushed into the man-made labyrinth of Knossos in unison, opening the prelude to the battle.
