"This place is too strange" - said Tio as she frowned and surveyed the surroundings.
The maze created by Barn seemed to be very different from the rest, in fact, outside of the strange circulation of mana on the walls, it didn't seem to be much different from the outer temple, in fact, there were no monsters anywhere, though that didn't mean the group was off guard.
The group continued to move forward in silence, though their expressions changed when they began to hear euphoric shouts calling the mad god's name.
"Stop, we have a little problem up ahead" - Yue said as she frowned.
Tio poked her head out and saw a group of parishioners madly shouting Ehit's name as if they were in a trance while a woman was tied up on an altar. The poor woman was crying as she looked forlornly at the men in front of her.
"Such looks like they are about to perform a ritual, and honestly I have a bad feeling" - Tio said as she looked at her companions again - "Nothing that is related to Ehit, is good."
The girls looked at each other before hearing a cry of despair and pain.
Tio decided to look again, only to feel her stomach turn at the disgusting sight before his eyes. The huge group of parishioners was beginning to abuse the poor woman who quickly lost consciousness, though this did not stop the bastards from continuing to unleash their primitive desires on her.
The dragon woman quickly averted her gaze as she clenched her fists in fury.
"Uncle..." - Yue said seriously.
"Don't look..." - Tio said as she took a long breath to try to calm down - "Just wait quietly."
The girls looked at each other as they listened to the cries of euphoria from the parishioners.
"No, I have to see this to further confirm my hatred for that bastard" - Kaori said as she took a breath and poked her head out.
Shizuku tried to stop her, though she mistakenly also saw what was happening, paling at the sight of such a deplorable act.
Seeing that he could do nothing to stop them, Tio said nothing more and watched as the girls began to observe the more terrible side of the mad god's servants once again.

"If I remember correctly, this labyrinth was designed in order to strengthen the will to face the gods" - said Noint with disdain - "What a waste of time, after all, defeating a god is impossible!"
Ehit's apostle continued to advance through the labyrinth, only to frown as a group of Templars she immediately recognized ran in her direction.
"Senseless tricks..." - Noint muttered as she eliminated the illusion of her former subordinates and continued advancing through the labyrinth - "Though why I still can't find that group of women is beyond me..."
Noint continued to advance through the labyrinth, destroying all the illusions that stood in his way.
* * * * *
"I think we'd better take a break, we've walked far enough" - Tio said as the others nodded.
Remia quickly picked up her daughter and looked at her carefully, only to notice how Myu was as if nothing had happened - "Are you okay?"
"Yes!" - Myu exclaimed with a small smile - "It's just that I thought things would be more exciting, but we haven't encountered any enemies..."
"That's good, after all, mazes aren't a place for games, it's better that we don't encounter any enemies, this way we'll maintain our optimal state" - replied Yue while looking at the little Dagon - "Leaving that aside, it's not normal that no enemies have appeared so far."
"Right, normally this would be the time by now where we would have fallen into two traps in the labyrinth and suffered the attack of a huge group of monsters" - Shea added while tilting her head - "By the way, do you think it's possible to contact Cloud to find out what's going on?"
"I hadn't thought about it because I was more worried about rescuing Aiko-dono" - Tio muttered as she nodded and tried to contact her master.
The girls gathered in anticipation of their blonde lover's answer, while Aiko was checking the surroundings because this place gave her a very bad feeling, more so with all the visions they had been observing during their long walk.
Remia was the most concerned with the current situation, after all, she didn't want her baby to be exposed to the evil of Ehit's cult at such a young age, something that honestly bothered Myu because she was curious to know what the others saw.
The girls waited a few more minutes until they heard the orb begin to glow.
[Girls? Are you okay?]
"Cloud, it's good to hear you!" - Shea said as she took the sphere and pressed it in front of her generous breasts.
"Worthless rabbit, put the sphere down so we can continue talking" - said Yue as she gave the rabbit girl a blank stare.
"Oh, sorry" - muttered Shea as she put the sphere back in its original place - "Please continue..."
"Cloud, did something happen?" - Tio asked as she looked at his master and lover.
[The truth is, things are a bit out of control out here...]
The girls looked at each other, surprised because they didn't expect something to happen while they were entering the labyrinth, although their expressions changed to one of concern when they heard someone shouting that the demons were approaching.
[Well, there goes the surprise....]
"The demon army is attacking?" - Yue asked in surprise because she didn't expect something so weird happening so suddenly.
[Yes, it seems that Ehit didn't like me destroying one of his divinity fragments and decided to make a direct attack against the kingdom].
The girls' eyes widened in surprise at the blond's words.
[Anyway, that's not the most important thing, what I want to tell them is to be careful, I have my hands full at the moment and I can't go help them]
"Cloud, we can defend ourselves" - Yue replied with annoyance, after all, they weren't princesses waiting to be rescued.
[I know, although I have to warn you that your situation is not as simple as you think, after all, the apostle I faced, is after you].
The girls' expression changed slightly when they heard this, after all, they had felt the power of the apostle when he confronted her lover.
"Apostle, you mean that silver haired woman who looked like a valkyrie?" - Aiko asked as she looked at the orb in surprise.
[Yes, she, her name is Noint and she is dangerous.... Honestly, I don't know if she can activate the magic again to summon Ehit's divinity fragment, that's why I'm telling you to be careful]
"Ok, we understand" - nodded Yue while looking at how Tio was looking at her with a small smile.
[Good luck, I have to go because the battle is about to begin]
[When I'm done here, I'm going to go after you guys, because honestly, I have a bad feeling]
"Ok, we'll be waiting for you" - Yue smiled as the image inside the sphere started to disappear.
"Unbelievable, I didn't think the demons would attack so soon" - muttered Shea while frowning.
"I mean, you could see it coming with all the sightings that have happened over the past few months, as well as incidents like the duchy of Ankaji" - muttered Tio as she remembered that strange mutant slime that almost caused the complete annihilation of that city - "Anyway, we better worry about the problem at hand."
"Yeah, not only do we have to get through this weird maze, but we also have to watch out for the apostle behind us" - nodded Yue as she looked around - "Shea, I want you to let us know when you hear any strange sounds!"
"I understand!" - nodded Shea as she strained her long rabbit ears and reinforced them with her magic - "Hmm, I can hear the sound of a battle nearby, though I think it has to be on a different path, maybe we got lucky and didn't walk down the path full of monsters"
"That doesn't matter, the worrying thing is that she's close, so we have to be careful, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she was walking towards the end of this maze" - Tio replied as she frowned - "Which leaves me with the opinion that it's best we stay as far away from the end of the maze as possible"
"I think this is a good time to continue training" - Shizuku smiled as she looked around - "Besides, if we train, we can get the body ready to be able to fight if necessary."
* * * * *
"This is ridiculous, I still can't find them and it's already been three hours since I entered this place" - thought Noint while frowning slightly - "Did they go back to the beginning? No, that's impossible, the moment we entered, you can't exit through the same place, besides, if they had been in the initial room when I appeared in the labyrinth, I would have detected them without much difficulty..."
