Burn them all!

The deeper they entered the Knossos, the larger the area was.

The passage was broader and bigger, and the room was similar, but there were more traps.

There were endless gates that almost stopped them from time to time, but with Tsukasa's key replica, those gates were easily cleared up one after another.

"What floor have we descended to?" Ais asked.

"Don't know."

Rakta shook her head as if it were a matter of course.

There were so many passages and stairs from up to down in this man-made dungeon, which made it impossible to judge how much depth they had explored. This complicated dungeon messed up their sense of direction.

"We're on the 7th Floor."

Tsukasa answered firmly.

Rakta was surprised, but she nodded. "I-I think we're also on the 7th Floor." Her voice trembled, but with Tsukasa's words, she had become confident.

Hearing his words, they nodded and felt confident.

Still, Rakta also had a unique skill, which made them believe in her. She was the mapper of the Loki Familia, which was why she held the map drawing in her hands.

Tsukasa could also become a mapper, but he was the main attacker, and if he also created a map, it would slow down their advance speed.

While Rakta, who was a Level 3, might slow down the advance, considering most of them were Level 4, she was necessary.

"The 7th Floor. There are more and more Evilus members we encounter."

Tsukasa unleashed his flamethrower burning everything. While using a sword, he could defeat his enemies faster. It would be a gruesome scene. On the other hand, burning them would be cleaner, and he also didn't have to worry about the disease which might happen if he left the corpse in this dungeon.

They will soon start their all-out attack.

If they were defeated because of disease, it wouldn't be funny.

Still, he must admit that his magic weapon became stronger because of the influence of Welf Crozzo.

However, he knew that he couldn't say this to Alicia since, in the past, Rakia Kingdom used the magic sword crafted by the Crozzo family to burn the forests and her races.

"Hurry up and stop them!"

Tsukasa heard someone shout from the side.

Immediately, from the end of the passage, a group of people in black cloaks welcomed the death, shouted the name of the evil god "Thanatos," and rushed over with Kaenseki, ready to send a group of suicide attacks.

Simultaneously, another group also came and sent a curse toward their group.

Tsukasa was surprised since he didn't expect that a curse could be cast in a group.

'There must be a powerful magician in this place.'

"Ais, protect the team!"

Tsukasa dashed with speed right under the supersonic, killing everyone in the blink of an eye. He had changed his style from his Drying Pole into a double sword.

While this style lacked damage and power, it was faster for him to kill his opponent. However, some of them were still able to commit suicide attacks, causing a massive explosion.

"Tempest!"

Ais jumped out of the center formation and used her magic instantly.

The gust of wind unleashed, blocking and blowing the explosion, so it wouldn't spread to everyone.

"Oh!"

While everything was so smooth, Tsukasa was surprised to see the man at the end of the passage since this man happened to hold the red crystal with a D-font at the center.

In other words, this man held the key of the Knossos!

The man was shocked when he saw Tsukasa approach him with a speed that couldn't be followed by eyes. He tried to retreat and activated the key in his hand to close the gate. After all, as long as he was able to escape, no one could hurt him!

This was the confidence of being an executive of the Evilus!

Huh? Fighting?

If he could fight them, why should he stand at the back and do the command?

Thanatos might be able to bewitch many people, but the Evilus had only been developed for five years. There were "very" few strong adventurers, and a Level 3 was enough for one to become an executive.

As for Valletta, Level 5, she belonged to the previous generation of the Evilus, and she was the top executive.

If they fought a direct battle, the Evilus weren't even Loki Familia's opponents!

"Stop struggling."

Their distance was at least 30 meters, yet when the man blinked, Tsukasa had already appeared in front of him, and his vision tilted to the side.

'Ah, I'm dead.'

His head dropped, and he knew that he had died.

Tsukasa ignored the man and caught the key. He whistled and didn't expect to be able to get the key. While he could make the key, it was troublesome, and the materials were hard to get. If he could get them from the Evilus, it would have been even better.

When he returned to everyone, everyone had already cleared their enemies, and no one was injured.

"Except for their self-suicide bombing and curse, it's easy to deal with them."

"Even without Ais-san, we can handle them!"

Narvi and the others were happily discussed.

Their last expedition caused a lot of psychological shadows on them. The memory where they could only close their eyes and wait for death was a nightmare that made them wake up in the middle of the night every day.

However, they only found out that the Evilus were strong because they had an advantage over this place.

Besides that, they were completely overwhelmed by the Loki Familia!

Tsukasa was able to replicate the key, and they had mastered this man-made dungeon.

In other words, it was only a time before this place was destroyed!

"Don't be too happy."

Tsukasa gave the other key to Ais and gestured his chin toward the fork on the other side.

"The real one is coming."

In the distance, a large number of the crystal spiders came like a tide, and their eight legs stomped the ground at high speed.

Their speed was so fast that everyone except for Tsukasa and Ais turned pale!

Unlike the tough man-eating plants and the corrosive green caterpillars, the crystal spiders were also a new type of monster. Their means of attack were direct attacks, and they had an advantage over their speed.

If they were surrounded by many, even a Level 5 might die.

"Dash forward!"

"Ehhh?!"

Everyone wanted to escape, but they all exclaimed when they heard his instruction.

At first, they came to test his replica keys, many things happened, and in the end, they decided to steal the keys of the Knossos, so every second was important, so there was no need to face such troublesome enemies, right?

"There is a reason why crystal spiders can appear endlessly in this place."

"What's the reason?" Ais asked subconsciously.

"The nest of these monsters is close."

Tsukasa took the initiative to charge over, burning them with his flamethrower since it was easier. His blade was too extravagant to be used on this type of enemy!

"As long as those nests are destroyed, the power of the Evilus will be weakened even more. Hurry up! If they react and send people to guard it, it won't be easy to destroy those nests!"

"I see!"

"Follow!"

"Attack them!"

Everyone reacted quickly since they understood his purpose.

If they destroy the nests of all of those monsters, then their next battle would be a lot easier!

Knowing that they didn't hesitate and went all out!

At the end of the passage, a room full of vines appeared in front of everyone, and the egg-shaped crystal spiders were born one from another while absorbing the green nutrient formula next to them, so they could grow rapidly.

"Burn them until nothing is left!"

Everyone held the magic weapon in their hands and burnt everything in front of them without mercy!
