Li Wu originally wanted to enter the seal first and let Shiratori pick up the other two, but maybe Hoshikawa Aoi was also so concerned about the whereabouts of Hikari, that he arrived not long later than them.

Although her face is pale, Airisa, who has managed to stand firmly, may not necessarily agree with this reason.

Shiratori greeted them calmly, and the intimacy almost made him think that the conversation that had just taken place during the spatial transfer was an illusion.

After clearing these distractions for the time being, he took the lead and led the group into the thick darkness at the entrance of the cave.

Unlike the first two, which also have a strong artifact-like style, the third seal has the impression of being more similar to the natural caves inhabited by ogres or dragons that are common in role-playing games, with dry, vast rock walls that stretch inward endlessly, splitting into several paths.

"It's an underground labyrinth in an RPG......"

Shiratori seemed to have the same opinion, and looked to the side as if he wanted to seek approval, "Where's everyone?!" ”

"It's supposed to be a similar trick to the Second Seal."

Li Wu had noticed this anomaly before her, and only the two of them were left.

Since the last seal, this division of the ranks of entrants seems to have become the norm.

"Since it's the law of sealing, there's no way, then it's up to me and Li Wujun to go on an adventure with only two people again!"

She accepted reality as quickly as if she had just been surprised...... Isn't it really acted?

"Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

Shiratori tilted his head in confusion.

"I feel like there's no way to trust Shiratori anymore."

Ignoring the girl who was holding her soft conscience and showing a seriously injured look, Li Wu continued to move forward, and seeing that she had not received any feedback, she also followed slowly.

With the help of Shiratori's abilities, they were unusually efficient at finding their way, easily avoiding all sorts of difficult dead ends.

It wasn't long before the two found slashing marks on the rock walls on both sides, as well as craters left by the explosion, as well as partially torn ground, suggesting that there had been a battle here.

"Could it be the traces of light?"

She asked, already refreshed.

From the perspective of inertial thinking, there should also be a Demon King Army cadre guarding here, so the other side of the battle may be the light who has run away.

In fact, Li Wu has always had a feeling that the other party is not just acting privately because of awkwardness.

What was her reason for leaving them alone and entering the Third Seal?

After a few more long turns, he heard a gurgling sound in his ears that sounded like bubbles popping.

"The temperature seems to be rising......

Shiratori Mayai, whose body is not fundamentally different from that of an ordinary high school girl, has already appeared on her face and neck, and a fine layer of sweat has appeared on her face and neck, and she is sliding down her fair skin into the uniform, probably uncomfortable to the touch, she unbuttoned a few buttons on her neckline a little anxiously, and kept fanning the wind inside.

"If you can't stand it, Shiratori will go back first, right? The back can be even more dangerous. ”

Considering that volcanic landscapes have already appeared in the outside world that would not have been possible in the vicinity, it is not surprising that there are some extreme climates inside the seal.

Li Wu withdrew his palm that felt the scorching air current, and suggested out of kindness.

Then she wasn't hot.

"Actually, I can already isolate harmful substances by establishing [boundaries] on the surface of my body, although there is currently no way to defend against excessive supernatural power, it is still easy to resist ordinary high temperatures, I named it the 'No Lower Limit' technique......"

"Beware of being cut in half, you! And since you know how to do this, you should use it earlier! ”

Not good, she complained as she wished.

The original attempt to distance himself failed, and in exchange for the result that this guy continued to follow while pretending to be stupid and claiming to have forgotten.

"Our current state can also be called a two-person world, right?"

Shiratori, who was stepping on his steps, suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence, "It feels so quiet, Li Wujun, let's have a casual chat." ”

"Unfortunately, in general this term refers specifically to lovers."

"What, we're not lovers?!"

"What are you pretending to be surprised by?"

"What, Li Wujun is actually a virgin?!"

"Want to fight in? Do you want to fight with me at a time like this? ”

"I'm sorry, but I actually know that you have graduated at the hands of Hoshikawa-san."

Mai Shiratori clasped her palms together and used an apologetic pun, but Lee Moo Jin hoped she wouldn't apologize.

The awkward atmosphere was even more unbearable than the silence just now.

"You see, do ordinary friends see that kind of scene and still maintain the original relationship as if nothing happened?"

After a few minutes, she shrugged her shoulders, "Whether Li Wujun wants it or not, our connection has exceeded the definition of ordinary friends, guild presidents, and ministry members......"

"Find the light first."

He interrupted her a little tiredly, and Shiratori shut up when he saw that he was okay.

"Goo!"

"Wow!"

Then she was startled by the sudden sound.

From the gap in the rock wall, a strange creature with a [dog ¥ head # human] on its head, covered with scales, and holding a short spear, came towards the two of them with a rotting smell like stagnant water.

Li Wu waved his palm, broke the fragile shaft from the edge, and then castrated into the opponent's chest with a crisp click.

The assailant's torso bent inward and was knocked out of the way, blooming a pale pink blood flower on the stone wall.

"'A world for two'?"

Li Wu looked at her partner with some mockery, her cheeks puffed out, and then her face suddenly changed: "There are more!" ”

It was as if they were walking in the bowels of a giant beast, and then the other party suddenly accelerated the process of digesting food, and from behind the rocks, between the crevices, and on the top of the cave, a large number of monsters appeared like an increased number of bacteria, which made it seem that they could hide somehow.

With the kobold people he just encountered as the main members, mixed with the green-skinned [Go*Bu!] wielding wooden sticks! Lin and the Goblin Shaman holding a wooden staff and wearing a feather ornament on his head, and the spider monster with silk threads hanging from the top - compared to the tentacle monsters and opera singers of the first two seals, this is undoubtedly a more otherworldly army.

At this moment, they surrounded the two invaders in a cascade and launched an attack, and the goblins dressed as shamans in the rear waved their wooden staffs, and the soft light blessed the members of the charge, and the muscles of the originally thin kobolds and goblins quickly bulged high, as if blowing balloons, they transformed from the miscellaneous soldiers in ordinary otherworldly comics to the main force of the inner comics, while the other monsters disappeared into the darkness, as if preparing for a sneak attack.

In their appearance, this is already amazing tactical literacy.

But it makes no sense.

Li Wu raised the soles of his feet and fell forward.

After the driver has not been used for a long time, it has a different feeling than before, just like the original 40 frames of the game screen after the hardware upgrade has become 60 frames, although at first glance it seems that the improvement is not obvious, but the actual smoothness and the same day.

He had already remembered that he should have fought with Susanoo before the current change in Chiyo City, and he had a feeling that he had gained new words, but what was that? Why didn't I notice it when I looked in the mirror recently?

Thinking did not stop the spread of the damage caused by itself, and the moment it stomped heavily on the ground, the soil was like a cannonball being fired, carrying a huge amount of kinetic energy to strafe forward, and the monster army that rushed to the front fell like ears of wheat.

At the same time, the shock wave reverberated in the solid medium, and the entire cave roared as if it were about to collapse, and the spider monsters that climbed to the top of the cave and waited for their chance fell like dust along with the falling stone chips, and the members on the ground staggered even more, and the entire charging formation scattered as if it had been washed away by a flood.

"Goo-goo!"

The goblin shaman in the rear threw a fireball at the enemy as it bounced on its short legs in an attempt to regroup, but the orange-red flame suddenly disappeared in the middle of the flight, and before it could comprehend the scene beyond its own intelligence level, the fireball ghostly appeared behind it following its original trajectory, permanently ending its doubts.

A crimson glow in front of you, then converge into a point.

The next moment, the linear flames swept silently through the cave passages, and the huge heat ignited the fur and muscles of the monster army in front of the flames and their bodies, like writhing torches on the ground, and when the dim reoccupied the original space, the white ground was evenly smeared with a layer of black ash.

"Win!"

Perhaps because of the first time he used his ability to defeat a supernatural creature, Shiratori jumped up with an excited fist, and then raised his palm facing Li Wu.

After hesitating for a moment, he gently slapped his hand up.

From the scene of the high-speed flying fireball just now, the other party's statement that they practiced very hard after they disappeared was probably not a lie, and it should be regarded as an encouragement to her.

With this intensity, the other two who were separated should be able to easily solve it.

After relieving himself a little, Li Wu smelled a sulfur-like smell.

I don't know if it was caused by his attack just now, and a gap was blasted open where the two cave passages intersected, and a glimmer of light leaked from inside.

"There's a subtle feeling of walking through a maze and finding blood bars on the walls."

Shiratori Maoi, who had cooled down from the excitement, looked inside, and found that there was still a black-gray stone wall behind the gap, "Do you want to take a detour?" ”

Li Wu swung his fist and imprinted it in the center of the obstacle in front of him, and the crack quickly spread out like a spider's web, eventually shattering it.

"That weird smell is just behind it, and I suspect it's the heart of the seal."

It's like the nameless island of the first seal, and the opera theater of the second seal, there should be a similar place here.

"This is the so-called road, you have to use your own hands to open up."

Shiratori nodded thoughtfully, "I'm sorry for the labyrinth's designer. ”

Not bothering to correct her opinion, Li Wu literally carved out a straight path with his hands, following the smell of sulfur just now and blasting through the aisles on the newly emerged walls.

The labyrinthine route in this seal is intricate, and if they hadn't chosen the brute-force cracking method, I'm afraid they don't know what year and month they would have been able to get around to the end.

I don't know that after the first few punches, a strong aura gushed out in the high temperature, and the space in front of me suddenly opened up.

In front of the two intruders was a red lake.

The viscous magma tumbled and lifted bubbles to the surface, then burst, enclosing it in a wide, circular passageway, the rocks above it did not fully close, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the cracks, illuminating the lifeless creatures that floated up and down in the lava lake.

Although it may be a size smaller than Erisa, its black scales, tattered wings, and unclosed orange-yellow eyes leave no doubt about its identity.

A dragon's corpse with a large wound between the skull and the body, connected only by a few flesh and skin.

The man who most likely killed it was on the opposite side of them, barely on one knee with the broken blade of his sword.

She was already nearly exhausted from the complete overload of the battle, and the strands of hair that hung down from her forehead were soaked in sweat and stuck to her skin, and she was able to maintain her full strength even without lying on the ground.

Therefore, she completely did not notice the arrival of the two, and still focused all her attention on the presence in front of her.

"You...... Who the hell is it? ”

Hikari looked up at the figure in front of her, wrapped in hideous black heavy armor, seeking the answer she craved.

The dragon that had already died was probably the last of the three Demon King Army cadres who were supposed to be guarding the third seal.

I didn't expect the light to become so powerful...... But with that to say, that black guy is......

These were the first two thoughts that came to mind when Shiratori Maoi, who had just witnessed the scene.

In the time of these two thoughts, looking down at the existence of the girl, as if he was going to take the opportunity to pick up the leak, he pulled out the two-handed sword that glowed with blue light behind him and slashed it towards her head!

The loud clashing of gold and iron seemed to turn the entire space into a resonance cavity, echoing through the mountain.

The heavy two-handed sword was held up in the middle by a larger-than-the-pound greatsword, bouncing off a barrage of sparks as it rubbed out a series of sparks.

Because he judged the identity of the other party at first sight, Li Wu, who acted in an instant, crossed the lake of magma, blocked the blow while stepping into the enemy's midline, and with a slight turn of his wrist, he slammed into the breastplate of the man in black with the hilt of Ascalon's sword.

The heavy blunt hit landed on it, exploding a visible white shockwave in all directions, and the black-clad man who took the blow head-on was like a small slider that had been violently knocked off in a physics lab class, leaving a flat groove on the ground where the soles of two boots rubbed together.

"Not only do you usually come out to hang out, but you don't obediently wait for us to get through the three heavenly kings before appearing, it's really an incompetent demon king."

Li Wu flipped the sword body and stood it horizontally in front of him, looking at the [Demon @ Wang??? on the other party's head 】

This one still exists in Chiyo City, did not disappear with the distortion faded, and is suspected of controlling the quadruple seal, in short, it can be called a shady existence, and it is the first time that he has encountered them head-on.
