Chapter 57 As long as they're not too strong
update icon Updated at 2026/4/30 17:00:03

Although the road has become easier to walk on, problems have arisen as well.

We don't know how to continue to reach our destination.

According to Greed, if the road is not blocked, we still need to proceed about 2000 meters ahead, and then there will be a passage leading to a nearby well.

However, after we reached this passage next to us, we found it to be a complete maze, where the path changes direction after walking a bit forward.

Although we tried to break through the walls, we found that whether going forward or back to our original passage, breaking through the walls still revealed soil.

In other words, heading straight ahead was not an option.

Ugh, why do we always encounter such troublesome situations, why can't things just go smoothly for once?

"Well, it seems the person who designed this place calculated that they didn't want people to simply break through the walls to proceed, so it looks like we must navigate this maze."

"This is where I come in!"

Aliyah said confidently.

"Just stick to one side of the wall!"

"Well, that is indeed a method... but it may not necessarily lead us to the correct exit."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Think about it."

I said to her.

"We entered directly from the wall, so besides an exit, there should at least be an entrance, right?"

"That... makes sense."

"But we also don't know which way our destination is."

Taishi Xi suddenly remarked.

"Given there are two exits, maybe the entrance is where we should actually go."

"Ah, you guys are so annoying. Just walk straight, and dismantle the walls as you go."

Hei Luoli said very discontentedly.

"Hey! Bai, bring out the hammer I gave you earlier, and smash it with all your might!"

Bai Yueguang was taken aback, looking completely bewildered, gazing at Hei Luoli with innocent eyes.

"I... only know how to wield a greatsword, eh? A hammer and all that..."

"Are you going to use the hammer or not?"

Hei Luoli glared at Bai Yueguang.

"If you're not going to use it, give it to me, I'll do it!"

"Alright, alright, can't I use the hammer?"

Bai Yueguang forced a smile and took out a wolf fang club more than one meter long.

Damn, wasn't it supposed to be a hammer? What kind of hammer is this?

"Have you guys had enough fun yet? If you really dismantled everything, this place would definitely collapse. Even if this isn't someone's tomb, a hammer like that would turn it into our tomb for sure."

"That's right!"

Bai Yueguang quickly agreed.

"Tsk."

Hei Luoli thought for a moment, making a dissatisfied sound.

"Now I understand why Lord Demon King is so familiar with you all."

Greed suddenly remarked.

"Because you guys are quite similar to the Demon King, in terms of the feeling you give off."

"Is that so... maybe. But then again, do you have any other ideas? After all, you were sent here by the Demon King to lead the way."

"Well, about that..."

Greed glanced at the passage, then at us.

"There might be another way, just that it might be more troublesome."

"What way?"

Greed pointed towards the ceiling.

"That's where we smash a path up through the ceiling. Above is a natural cave. Compared to a maze, it will feel more familiar in terms of directions."

"Why didn't you say so earlier! Bai, start pounding upwards!" Hei Luoli immediately demanded.

"Just that there are a lot of monsters up there... and they are not easy to deal with," Greed chuckled.

"I once fought them before and found them quite formidable. Not individually strong, but their numbers were really annoying."

"I see..."

I pondered for a moment.

"As long as they're not too strong, please, Bai Yueguang~"

"Alright, alright..."

Bai Yueguang held his wolf-tooth club and glanced up at the ceiling.

"...Ultimate·Skybreaker!"

With a swing of his wolf-tooth club, a blue shockwave pierced through the ceiling above.

After the ceiling was shattered, we immediately leaped up. We didn't linger, fearing a possible collapse from below. It was best to make a speedy exit.

The light orb in my hand could only illuminate a small area. I waved my hand, summoning numerous light orbs, and flung them rapidly outward.

"Oh my..."

As the light orbs flew out, Aliyah beside me exclaimed.

Looking around, countless spiders lurked in the darkness, their titles and names obscured, perhaps due to their stealth or some other special reason.

However, I wasn't particularly startled.

"Great ultimate·Thousand-Mile Ice Seal."

With a snap, the magic crystal within my grimoire shattered. Blue magical elements surged outward, instantly encasing the spiders in ice.

In less than three seconds, the spiders became part of the icy sculptures in the cave, completely immobilized.

"See, as I said."

I gestured towards the ice sculptures, addressing Greed.

"As long as they're not too strong."
