"Do you say it or do I?"

Lilith looked at Chloe a bit flustered.

The descendants of the empire, each one's strength is comparable to or even surpassing herself.

It's just that their strength lies in different directions.

But at least the difficulty has been reduced. By micro-managing and secretly clicking [Agree] from the backstage, she can still summon her own mythical template.

With the mythical template of [Red Moon], she naturally manages to activate Fratiss' blood angel position.

But then... If she goes further, it's another matter entirely.

Who to summon?

Summon the last Elf Queen, the ancient Sage, the spokesperson of the first magic cannon?

Or summon that Filthy Sun Demon Monarch who can't wait to beat the Evil God, ready to destroy the world with a slip?

Summoning the previous generation isn't more difficult.

Then what can ultimately be summoned is only the old emperor and empress of an even older generation, right?

Of course.

Due to the many complex relationships involved, it couldn't be explained in time, so Lilith simply shut her mouth, sighing inwardly:

[Relationships between men and women are truly complicated.]

Only Chloe spoke up: "Anyway, the matter of sealing the emperor's template and summoning the martial monk template is only known to our squad. Don't tell others unless necessary.

Also, try to solely use the ability of the Child of the Ocean."

Although she still didn't fully understand the situation, Miseria actually nodded her head.

Somehow, since she started using the Child of the Ocean talent, her body experienced an inexplicable agitation.

It's like something has unbound her, free as a bird soaring high, a fish leaping in the vast ocean.

However, with the template of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch, setting Miseria to learn the Child of the Ocean has been prioritized.

But Aisha's Master of Heaven aspect poses a bit of trouble.

"Need to speed up."

Being merely a legend is of no use.

He must ascend to Demigod to bestow Aisha a new template with his current status.

——Because the Master of Heaven talent is Chloe's reward from breaking free from a historical echo last time.

"Demigod, need to speed up."

Fortunately, while Aisha hasn't acquired a template yet, she has unlocked hidden shortcuts for speed.

The Abyssal Blood War benefits Aisha.

Simply finding Maze Monsters from the Abyss for Aisha to battle can spur rapid growth.

His aim is that by the time everyone leaves the maze, ideally, they all advance to Demigod Class.

Just, will things go as smoothly as he hopes?

…

Location: Abyss of Woe, 23rd Floor · Giant Cave

Metal boots crushed everywhere over the crystal clusters, and Rephya's great sword suddenly burst forth with blinding light. In the sudden descent of absolute darkness, the beam pierced the night like a silver shuttle, illuminating the thirty-meter-high ceiling of the rock cave ahead — along with the creature walking upside down on the ceiling.

The grayish-blue body armored with rock suddenly paused, the twelve earth-yellow crystal stones embedded at the joints all lit up simultaneously.

Chloe's shout and the Wilderness Giant's pounding fist arrived at the same moment:

"Scatter! It's a ground vein tremor!"

Rephya rolled along the right rock wall, leather armor scraping against protruding sulfur crystals. An avalanche-like roar emanated from behind, and webs of cracks exploded at the original standing position, yellow-brown energy ripples spreading across the ground.

Fratiss' magic coating drew a silver trajectory through the air, and at the moment when the coating barrier collided with the shock wave, the crystal floor cracked like magma.

"Let me shred its armor first!"

Aisha shouted, her tachi accurately striking the Wilderness Giant's left knee.

Yet, on the armor formed by metal mineral crystals, only blade marks were left.

The Wilderness Giant's skin was just too thick, and mere marks couldn't stop this monstrous rampage.

"Let me handle it!"

Rephya seized the chance to charge forward.

Instead of slicing directly with the blade, she turned sideways and heavily smashed the sword hilt against the marks left by Aisha.

Amidst rumbling sounds, the Wilderness Giant's metal mineral armor together with its kneecap was shattered, forced to a single-knee kneel on the ground.

Yet, the Wilderness Giant, relentless as ever, didn't back down.

It spread its massive palm into the ground, the entire rock layer moved like a living being, sharp earth spikes erupted under everyone's feet.

Fratiss hefted her heavy shield and slammed it onto the ground. The Iron Blood Path could absorb kinetic energy and release it later.

Coupled with her coating, it's virtually a natural defensive counter Sacred Body.

This strike amazingly shattered the protruding earth spikes into fragments.

The Wilderness Giant roared in anger. From the ground, it wrenched out a rock spear, ready to throw. At the moment, Miseria, already shrouded, materialized her ice spear, striking its wrist joint.

Amidst the booming sound, everyone saw the throbbing earth-yellow core.

"Now's the time!"

Aisha's tachi instantly pierced through the fissure.

Demon Power infused into it, the Wilderness Giant finally couldn't withstand it, emitting an ear-piercing roar, rain-like rock layers on the ceiling fell, only to be blocked again by Fratiss' erected barrier.

As the energy crystal shattered, the surrounding floors collapsed with massive rifts amidst the vibrations, and it was as if a volcano suddenly erupted inside.

"Damn it!"

Miseria clasped her hands together, drawing streams of water to pull a few people away from the vicinity.

Under the frenzied attack of the Wilderness Giant, a path was unexpectedly smashed open from the 23rd floor leading to the 24th.

Cold, grinding gear sounds came from the next floor.

Chloe waved her hand, and the extraordinary trait [Earth Energy Core] extracted from the Wilderness Giant was pulled out.

"Rephya, open your mouth."

"Huh?"

That extraordinary trait was directly stuffed into Rephya's cherry-like mouth.

With increased efficiency, he directly pushed the three of them into the crack leading to the 24th floor.

"Great, saved us from having to clear a path."

Rephya: "Senior!!!"

Miseria: "You kicked my butt!"

Fratiss: "Is that the point?!"

At this moment, on the 24th floor, Fufu was already wielding Shadow Power and began the slaughter.

Location: Abyss of Woe, 24th Floor · Gear Maze

When the steel and iron torrent surged out from the Gear Maze of the 24th floor, Fufu's shadow magic had just reached the third syllable.

These metal warhorses, embedded all over with rotating saws, their riders were nothing short of humanoid armories — left arm a high-speed spinning chain blade, right shoulder protruding with three dark red cannon barrels, the exposed chest gear assembly spitting out steam.

It could be said that there appeared not a trace of anything living on them.

"They're mechanized symbiotes of the Mechanical Realm!"

Fufu's short sword grazed past the leading Mad Rider, sparks flying between blade and chain blade.

Her dagger carved out dazzling sparks on the metal shell, the rebound force making her tiger's mouth tingle slightly.

Shadow Stab wasn't suited for direct confrontation, and since these monsters had no vital points, she could kill them but had no intention to use her precious extraordinary power on these iron chunks.

She merely wielded shadow magic, leaving numerous scars on the iron chunks, then fleetingly departed the battlefield.

The Holy Light on Rephya swept across the battlefield, and she suddenly shouted:

"First pry open their energy circuits!"

Fufu made a simple pass-through, then precisely exposed the chest gear assembly of the Mad Rider.

Scarlet light flowed through the rotating gear assembly, and Aisha's tachi thrust into one Mad Rider's body, making the entire mechanical body spasm, the chain blade uncontrollably hacking at its comrade.

Miseria swiftly joined the battlefield, dark streams swept the out-of-control Mad Rider into the air. Rephya seized the opportunity to charge in, with the greatsword in her hands turning nearly hammer-like, each strike upon the Mad Rider resulting in complete silence.

The flesh and blood beneath the steel casing suddenly swelled, the eerie union of machinery and flesh emitting a synthesized electronic wail.

By the end of the battle, gears and mixed remnants of flesh lay scattered across the ground.

Fratiss dug out a dark red extraordinary attribute crystal from one of the wreckages, its surface depicting the illusion of a galloping warhorse.

"The Heart of the Iron Rider is in hand; now we just need the 25th floor."

Little Gluttony wiped the thick oil from her shield.

Chloe chuckled and said, "The maze monsters on these two levels are relatively easy to handle for you all, but the next level might not be the same."

The women nodded in agreement.

Because the maze monsters on the next level were known for their ferocious strength, the Sub-dragon Species.

Location: Abyss of Woe, 25th Floor, Land of the Sleeping Dragon

The air on the 25th floor was sharp as a blade. When the Giant Blade Ghost Dragon descended from the rift in void, Aisha finally understood why this floor was called the "Soldier Lord's Trial Ground."

The vertebrae of this dragon-descendant creature extended with seven bone blades, each of its dragon scales refracted the dim glow of spatial fissures. Simply flapping its wings, invisible slashes grazed past her cheeks.

Unlike the previous maze monsters.

The maze monsters on this floor combined the strength of dragons with destructive power akin to a weapon master.

Fratiss's magic coating cracked by the 3rd second, the black giant blade in the Ghost Dragon's forepaw vanished, only to pierce through a spatial fissure behind Rephya the next instant.

Little Gluttony's instant Holy Shield formed at the critical moment, with Holy Light trailing, enveloping the shield and the impact wave flinging both away.

"Be careful not to spread out!" Fufu, smiling, gathered Shadow Power, entangling the mighty Sub-dragon.

Rephya clapped her hands onto the ground, Earth Power temporarily solidifying the space of that area, and Aisha's blade light took the chance to slash off three dragon scales.

The Ghost Dragon let out a roar that shattered Miseria's ice spears, as seven bone blades disjointed, forming a slaughter sword array in mid-air.

Without a word, Aisha swallowed a Magic Boiling Potion, her figure flickering through the countless slashing gaps.

Each touch of her blade light on a bone blade left a mark of blood-corroded decay, and as the last bone blade fell, Rephya finally completed her power gathering.

The greatsword fiercely slammed forward, Holy Light entwined around the rock pillar, forming a massive cage. The Ghost Dragon, struggling, spewed Shadow Dragon Breath, but all were repelled back by the Divine Power-reinforced barrier.

When Fratiss's shield plunged into its chest core, the entire maze resonated with the wail of weapons, and she barely knelt among the fragments, watching the extraordinary attribute crystal rise from the dragon corpse, unable to help but smile.

And those who had been covering them from afar also smiled.

The extraordinary traits for the three little ones were finally collected.

They could head back to the 20th floor to rest for a bit.

"Lilith, set a coordinate here."

"Alright."

She raised her hand to inscribe a mid-range teleportation array on the ceiling, and the group took to the path they came from.
