Chapter 196: Alma

"Who is she?"

Akali hurriedly ran over to help her up, opened her kettle, and slowly gave her a drink, sure enough, the girl moved, with the fluttering of her eyelashes, she slowly opened her eyes, and asked blankly, "...... is here?"

"Are you alright?"

Akali grabbed her hand and asked with concern, but at this moment, Akali's pupils suddenly constricted!

Because she felt it, the girl had no pulse, no heartbeat, not even ...... No body temperature!

"This guy can't be a ghost, ......is he? For what is there a materialized body, as well as ...... She seemed to contain an almost infinite amount of divine power in her body, where could anyone be so strong?" several thoughts flashed through Akali's mind. "Could it be...... She's a god?"

"May I ask who you are?"

The girl asked, with wide, blank eyes.

"I'm Akali, the one who fell here, I just saw you faint here, can you tell me about your situation, why are you in this dark ruin?"

"I'm ......" the girl covered her head, her eyes slightly closed, as if trying to remember, but eventually, she said, "I'm sorry, Akali...... I forgot what I was here for, what I needed to do, I couldn't seem to remember anything......"

"Amnesia, isn't it?" Akali was taken aback, how could she finally meet a "person" and lose her memory? Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, Akali asked tentatively, "If you think about it harder, what can you remember?" ”

"Well, I'll try......" The girl covered her head again, trying harder to remember, and this time, her expression looked a little painful. "I'm sorry...... I can only think of my name, and all I have to think about is my head like it's going to crack......"

"Then don't force it, when the time comes, you'll remember. Akali patted her on the shoulder and comforted. "What's your name?"

β€œ...... Alma. ”

"What?!" Akali was shocked in her heart, this seemingly harmless amnesiac girl was actually Alma mentioned on Magdalene's map? What kind of secrets did this brown-haired girl have, why did she lose her memory, why did she have such terrible divine power? These mysteries made Akali's path forward even more complicated and tangled.

β€œ...... What's wrong?"

Alma couldn't understand why Akali would be so surprised when she heard her name, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know me?"

"No, it's not. Akali shook her head, spread out Magdalene's map, and studied it with Alma. "If you look at this map, we should be in this labyrinth now, and here, with your name, so I think you are inextricably linked to this place, and the reason for your amnesia is probably related to all this. ”

Alma looked at the old parchment map carefully, and she always felt that this map seemed to have a very familiar feeling, but she couldn't tell why it was like this, and if she tried to think about it, the headache would hit her more violently, and she had to give up.

"Don't think about it, Alma. Akali saw that Alma's face flashed with pain again, and hurriedly comforted: "I'm now looking for a way to close the gate of the Demon Realm here, and a way to escape from this labyrinth, do you want to explore the entire labyrinth with me, I believe that in the process of exploration, you will definitely find what you have forgotten!"

"I'm willing to help......" Alma nodded, for now, this was the only way for her, and if she wanted to figure out her origins, the only way was to explore this place with the girl in front of her. "So, what do we do?"

"First, let's confirm the location. Akali pointed to the blue dot that represented Alma. "I've confirmed, the location of this blue dot is where we are, you see here, here and here, there are seven paths to other places, and where we are located, it is the edge of the entire labyrinth, and our destination is the gate of the demon world here......"

The two of them studied the map for another ten minutes or so, and when they finally stood up, Akali stretched and asked, "Alma, are you sure that is right?"

"There will be no mistake, there is only one correct way to pass through the Demon Gate from here, and along this path, we will walk through every area of this labyrinth......"

Akali suddenly reacted, on her waist, there was a slender but strong silk thread, several kilometers long, the reason why Akali carried this was also inspired by the legend, and really brought a roll, hoping to play a role in returning to the exit quickly.

"Wait a minute, I've got a good thing here. ”

Akali first took off a torch made of monsters and stuck it in the gap in the masonry of the staircase, and when she couldn't pull it out this time, Akali used fire magic to light it, and then bolted one end of the silk thread around her waist, so that as Akali continued to move, the silk thread would be released little by little, and when needed, Akali could follow the silk thread around her waist to find the stairs and leave here.

"Alright, then let's go!" Akali shouted, drawing the Mo Evil Divine Sword and leading the way into the dark corridor.

"Wait for me ......"

Alma hurried to follow, and soon, as the last glimmer of light dissipated, both of them disappeared into the darkness, only the torch and the string attached to it indicated that there had been traces of human footsteps here.

Five minutes later.

"Speaking of which, Alma, have you noticed that the rocks here have changed their color, and seem to have turned fiery red? ”

Akali swung out a sword, directly dispersed an oncoming blue and purple flame, this small flame spirit, is a very common monster here, its strength is naturally stronger than the skeleton and slime outside, and in a few cases, you will also encounter a burning skull wandering in the labyrinth, this kind of skull controlled by the demon's fire magic, it is much stronger than the purple flame spirit, their flame collision often catches Akali off guard, in order to protect Alma, Akali's armor is scorched。

β€œ...... It doesn't matter to you, does it?"

Alma asked worriedly as she looked at Akali, who was fighting the monster hard.

"It's okay, it's all trivial. Akali learned wisely this time, dodging the speeding skull, and then backhanded the sword to finish it out once and for all. "I looked at it and there should be nothing else in it except these two monsters, not far ahead, there are black dots marked on the map, we have to be extra careful, maybe there is a tough battle to be fought there. ”

Alma nodded, and followed Akali into the small square where the black dot was.

In this thirty or forty square meter space, from the floor to the ceiling, everything is a fiery red color, exuding a kind of purgatory-specific light, and unlike the cold and damp elsewhere in the labyrinth, the air here is dry and hot, and it seems that there is really a flame.

"What kind of stone is this, it's really rare to be able to shine on its own......" Akali stroked the stone bricks on the wall, and suddenly felt a warmth spread along the palm of her hand to her whole body, but what she didn't expect was that the heat rose sharply, and soon, the brick wall became hot!

"What is this!"

Suddenly, a terrifying laughter that seemed to come from hell came, and in front of Akali, a huge demon suddenly appeared, and its whole body was wrapped with a powerful flame power, and even its skin was no longer pitch black as in the demon legend, but turned red!

"Is this the Fire Demon!" said Akali secretly. "How could I meet such a strong guy here, how can I deal with it!"

Fire Demon, a kind of demon, appears in areas with strong fire power, such as craters, as a variant of ordinary demons, its strength is naturally higher than that of ordinary demons, they can not only use magic energy from the demon world, but also can use the power of fire, they are one of the high-level demons, and it is difficult to deal with guys.

Akali had no choice but to fight against him, and she looked at Alma, who was already cowering in the corner of the wall with fright, and had to raise her long sword and fight this demon several times her size in close combat.

"Uh......h ...... go on like this."

The flames emitted by the demon have made Akali unbearable, she feels that her physical strength and energy are rapidly evaporating with sweat, and her armor has become hot, and even the hot skin is red, even if she turns on the ice armor, it will not help, and the fire demon's violent strength will beat Akali to the ground, and finally one is careless, and is tightly held in her hand by the fire demon's huge claws, and she can't break free at all.

"What should I do......" Akali struggled with all her might, and the Mo Evil Divine Sword cut wounds into the fire demon's claws, trying to force it to let go of itself, but although the fire demon roared again and again, he still grabbed Akali fiercely, and the tighter and tighter he gripped it......

The sharp pain in her whole body of "Don't ......" attacked Akali again, and her resistance was getting weaker and weaker, and Alma saw that Akali was unilaterally suppressed by the Fire Demon, the expression on her face became even more terrified, and her delicate body trembled even more violently.

"Alma, don't be stunned, go quickly, while you still have a chance...... Ahem......"

Akali was overwhelmed by the sheer force, but she still looked anxiously at Alma, who was shivering, and asked her to leave quickly. "Don't all die here...... Hurry up ......"

"Akali! Akaliβ€”"

Tears rolled down Alma's cheeks, she watched her companion being tortured by the fire demon so much, there seemed to be a violent force in her body, struggling to impact the cage of her mind, after all, at the moment when Akali called for herself, Alma's mind, like the night sky cut by lightning, she remembered, remembered her identity, remembered what she had to do, remembered her duty, and even more remembered, the amount of power she had!

"Don't hurt my companions!"

Suddenly, from the cross on Alma's forehead, a pure white laser shot out, instantly piercing the center of the fire demon's eyebrows!
