"Hmph, it's direct enough, and I don't want to talk nonsense."
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..."
Thanatos 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 and 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 how this goddess is very 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. 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 Ishtar.
She used prostitution as a means to amass a large amount of 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 forward enthusiastically 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."
Thanadus looked up to 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 was endless.
The emerald green wind roared continuously in the passage.
Ais turned the wind to the limit, wrapped it around the sword body, and swung the sword with all her strength.
"bump!"
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 instantly destroyed it!
The red-haired woman immediately took a step forward and struck with a simple diagonal slash of her sword.
Can't stop it!
Ais made a judgment instantly, 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 chased her and slashed her.
"Where has the prestige of the first two times gone?"
Ais could see the pleasure of avenging shame on her face.
In the battle on the 18th floor, she barely managed to win because of Jiang Li's help. In the battle on the 24th floor, she had the upper hand because of her advancement. However, in the third battle, she fell into an overwhelming disadvantage!
Revis' 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 strength.
There are no extra 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!
"snort."
From behind came the soft hum of a sure winner.
"Die, Arya!"
The airflow behind him suddenly vibrated violently.
Even before the sound of breaking wind could be heard, Aisi's heart was already ringing with alarm, and she instantly turned around to block it.
"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 his body was 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 stained with blood.
Blood dripped from her forehead, dyeing her right eye red.
"That's it."
The red-haired woman came to her, without any mercy in her eyes.
"ah……"
For a moment, Aisi's mind went blank.
It was indeed the end of it, she knew it.
His whole body was severely injured, and even the Sword of Despair was thrown away. At this moment, he had no strength left to resist.
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 came to her senses.
The 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.
"terribly 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 out 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 dark 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.
A flash of silver appeared from her vision.
That ray of light was 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 tachi 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.
