"Huh, that's direct enough. I don't want to talk nonsense either."
Ista walked into the control room and glanced at Carly.
"I'm here to inspect the goods."
"Inspection?"
"Yes, I want to see the quality of the goods you promised me."
Ishtar put forward the conditions as a matter of course.
"That cargo..."
Tanados suddenly had a headache.
He could only bite the bullet and speak.
"But Revis-chan has said many times that you must not take that out. If Revis-chan is offended, I will be in big trouble!"
"This is your problem."
Ista was not moved at all, just sneered.
"I have spent so many years of money on you, so I have the right to inspect the goods, or do you want me to withdraw my investment?"
Thanadus groaned.
This is why this goddess is so difficult to deal with.
As long as it is something she has decided, no one else is allowed to refuse.
The construction of artificial mazes is very expensive.
The entire maze is made of super-hard metal, and countless doors are made of the hardest metal. In order to build such a terrifying maze, an astronomical amount of money has been spent over thousands of years.
And those funds are almost all provided by Ista.
She used prostitution as a means to amass money, and her sphere of influence was so large that she occupied an entire main street. The flow of funds has never stopped for thousands of years, and she accumulated a large amount of money.
Because of her funding, the Daedalus family was able to complete this man-made maze.
Once she decides to withdraw her capital, the problem will be huge.
"What? Are you hiding anything interesting? You didn't tell me, you're really out of touch!"
Carly came up excitedly and said, "Take it out! Take it out quickly and let me see it!"
"Looks like I'm going to be scolded severely by Reeves-chan."
Thanados looked up at the sky.
The two cooperating gods requested this, and he really couldn't refuse.
"Okay, let's do an experiment with Loki's Familia to see how powerful the Bull of Heaven is."
…………
"Qiang!"
The sound of fierce sword clashes can be heard endlessly.
The emerald green wind roared continuously in the passage.
Ais turned the wind to the limit, wrapped it around the sword, and swung the sword with all her strength.
"Touch!"
But the black sword struck without any fanfare.
At the moment of collision, an unparalleled force came from the sword, causing a huge shock to Aisi's slender arms. Paralysis struck half of her body, making her look bitter.
A sword kills it instantly!
After being unyielding and defeating Aisi's posture, the red-haired woman instantly took a step forward and struck with a simple diagonal slash with her sword.
Unstoppable!
Aisi made an instant judgment, and the wind wrapped around her legs, causing her to quickly retreat.
"Are you just going to run away?"
Revis snorted coldly, with a look of victory on her face.
Since the beginning of the war, Aisi has not been able to hurt her with a single sword. Instead, she has been chasing her and slashing her.
"Where has the prestige of the first two times gone?"
Aisi could see the pleasure of avenging shame on her face.
She barely managed to win the battle on the 18th floor because of Jiang Li's help, and she had the upper hand in the battle on the 24th floor because she advanced, but in the third battle, she fell into an overwhelming disadvantage!
Revis's strength has reached the extremely terrifying Level 7!
Even if Ais wraps the wind around her sword, it won't hurt her at all, and even a backhand sword can completely destroy her offensive and defensive momentum.
There are no unnecessary bells and whistles, just pure strength to overwhelm others!
Under the pursuit of Revis, Ais could only run away in the passage, relying on the speed and dexterity provided by the wind to avoid losing her life.
"Oops...!"
Suddenly, Aisi's expression changed.
Ahead is the Oliha steel gate!
This passage is a dead end!
"Humph."
From behind came the soft hum of a sure winner.
"Die, Arya!"
The airflow behind him suddenly vibrated violently.
Before the sound of breaking wind could be heard, Aisi's heart was already ringing with alarm, and she instantly turned around to block.
"Boom!"
It hit like a high-speed train.
The terrifying power made Ais change color suddenly, and the posture of her arms instantly shattered.
Ais's light body was blown away in the blink of an eye and hit the Oliha steel door.
Pain.
Severe pain.
Every part of my body is wailing.
Ais struggled to get up, but fell heavily to the ground. The pain in her arms made her realize that her arms were broken, and the skirt and armor on her body were also soaked in blood.
Blood dripped from her forehead, dyeing her right eye red.
"That's it."
The red-haired woman came to her with no mercy in her eyes.
"Ah..."
For a moment, Aisi's mind went blank.
This is indeed the end, she knows it.
His whole body was severely injured, and even the Sword of Despair was thrown away. At this moment, he had no power to resist at all.
Are you going to die here?
No one will come to save you.
No one will lend a helping hand.
Rescue never comes.
Just like that time.
Her thoughts inexplicably returned to the past, a past full of blood and fire.
When she was seven years old, monsters invaded the village. Her father went to fight them, and her mother also went to the battlefield.
When she comes to her senses.
Mother fell first.
Then there is the father.
The whole body was bleeding continuously and was filled with small pools of blood.
The village was covered in flames, and the crazy roars of monsters could be heard.
"I'm sorry."
When she was a child, she longed for heroes and asked her father to be her hero, but her father touched her head and cast loving eyes on her mother. At that time, her mother would always smile happily.
"I am already your mother's hero. I can't be your hero, but sooner or later you will find your own hero."
Under Riveria's scolding, she used revenge as motivation to squeeze her body's potential, walking on the edge of death again and again, constantly killing monsters, and constantly gaining strength.
But, yes.
After all, there are no heroes.
There is no such thing as a hero of your own.
She must and can only rely on herself.
In the dim passage.
The blond girl was lying on the ground, her body covered in blood, her eyes dull.
The black sword fell mercilessly towards her neck.
Just a moment.
The head of the world-famous swordswoman will fall off her pink neck, and she will die without feeling even a trace of pain.
But at this moment.
Silver flashes appeared from her field of vision.
That ray of light is like the morning light cutting through the darkness.
Emerging from the end of darkness, blocking the approach of darkness.
"Qiang!"
Under the harsh clash of swords.
The silver sword blocked the front of the black sword.
"Get away from her!"
As the screams rang out, a second flash of light appeared.
Born from the light, breaking the blockade of darkness.
"Sooner or later you will find your hero..."
Staring at that figure, these words swirled in Ais's heart, and they did not go away for a long time.
