George looked at Elise and asked, "Can you find another way out?"
Elise, being an elf, had a very sharp sense of the environment.
She closed her eyes and focused. A moment later, she opened them and shook her head in frustration. "Master, no. I can feel there are other monsters nearby, but I can't find the exit. It feels like this is a closed space."
Eliex said, "This is space strength. Only someone who understands the laws of space can break it."
Space strength?
George frowned. Space was one of the strongest and most mysterious laws. He had never heard of anyone who could master this kind of strength.
Was he going to be stuck here forever?
He could use the realm pass to leave this place. His points had reached over 20,000, so getting into the Obsidian Academy should be no problem.
But George's goal was to kill the Black Dragon Asos.
Well, he would first capture that Blazing Angel. Maybe the Black Dragon Asos was there too.
George decided to use the power of the contract and teleport directly to where the Blazing Angel was.
"Lord, maybe I have an idea," Constantine said from the side. He looked up at the tall wall and spoke.
"You have an idea?" George was doubtful. This guy was always impulsive and aggressive. He didn't look like the type to think things through.
Elise and the others looked at him with disbelief.
"What's with that look? Watch closely," Constantine felt insulted. He took a step back, clenched his fists, and surrounded them with golden energy. Then he smashed the wall with all his might.
Boom!
A loud explosion. The whole Underworld seemed to tremble slightly. And the hard wall actually got a crack.
George and the others were stunned. It looked like there was a chance.
"Can you break it like that? This guy is really a brute," Elise said in amazement. The others nodded in agreement.
"Really strong."
Constantine saw that one punch didn't break the wall. He took a step back, clenched his fists, his muscles bulged, and veins popped out. He hit the wall again.
Dust flew everywhere. The hard wall was broken apart, creating a small passage.
"Cool," George gave him a thumbs-up.
"Of course," Constantine smiled proudly. He raised his fists and hit the wall twice more. The sound echoed, and the hard wall broke open into a big hole that he could easily fit through.
"Let's go," George and the others walked through the wall. This time, it was another complex passage.
Constantine clenched his fists again, ready to keep breaking things.
"Wait," George quickly stopped him. "There are still monsters here. First, we need to kill them."
In the deep passage, several semi-transparent figures were floating around.
They were 45-level monsters-The Shadebound.
"Lord, let me handle them. My light magic is good against these monsters," Eliex floated forward and shot a few beams of light. The light covered the floating ghosts.
The light passed through, and the ghosts disappeared instantly-killed in one hit.
[Killed The Shadebound, Experience +4500, Points +40]
[Obtained Materials: Shadow Stone x1, Soul Power Fragment x2]
...
Shadow Stone and Soul Power Fragment. These were actually A-tier materials.
George was surprised. Common monsters rarely dropped A-tier materials. These The Shadebound had a lot of good stuff.
The group moved forward through the complex passage.
Soon, all the monsters here were killed. George gained over four thousand points and a lot of materials.
Just like before, they got stuck again in this passage and couldn't get out.
"Constantine, keep going," George said.
"Lord, I've been waiting for this moment," Constantine said excitedly. He clenched his fists, the wind from his punches howled, and he smashed the wall beside him.
The wall trembled. Dust and rocks fell down. Cracks spread across it.
"Destroyer, brute," Elise muttered quietly.
With a few more punches, the hard wall was broken open again, creating a big hole. The group moved forward.
This place still had a complicated maze of passages, and the monsters here were stronger-50-level Hellfire Demons.
But against Constantine and the group, they had no chance. They were mercilessly killed.
"Huh, why haven't we seen any other students?" George wondered. He had heard fighting sounds before, but after moving through the maze for so long, he still hadn't seen anyone.
Elise said, "Master, maybe everyone who enters the Underworld is in their own separate area. And we must have reached the deep part of the Underworld. The passage here is clearly getting smaller."
"Each person in the Underworld is in their own area? That sounds too crazy," George didn't agree. There were at least a million students taking the College Entrance Exam. Even if only one percent made it to the Underworld, that's ten thousand people. Creating ten thousand separate areas? Not even a god could do that.
Plus, Constantine had already broken two maze passages, and still no one else was around.
But the maze was definitely getting smaller. It looked like they were getting close to the core of the Underworld.
George stopped thinking about it and followed the group as they killed the monsters in the passage.
After half a day, no new monsters appeared. The passage was empty again.
"Constantine, keep going," George said.
"Okay!"
Constantine was excited again and smashed the wall once more.
The sound of explosions kept going. The hard wall was broken again. The group entered a new world.
This place wasn't a maze anymore. It was a dense forest.
"Are we out of the Underworld, or have we reached the core?" Melina asked, confused. She quickly flew into the air. The force that had stopped her from flying was gone.
"Lord, this is a dense forest. And there's a tall stone pillar in the distance, reaching the sky. It doesn't look like the outside world," she looked around carefully and said.
"So that means we've entered the inner part of the Underworld," George looked around, unsure.
From the outside, the Underworld looked like a building area. There were no forests.
But the complicated passages shouldn't exist either. That must be because of the space strength. It was likely that this was the core of the Underworld.
George could clearly feel the presence of the Blazing Angel getting stronger. It seemed to be in this forest.
"Let's go check out the stone pillar," he said, looking at the tall pillar in the distance.
The group nodded and flew up, heading toward the pillar.
"Lord, there's a monster!" Elise pointed down at the forest and warned.
Whoosh!
From the trees, a huge purple flower flew out. Its petals opened wide, like a big mouth, and it lunged at George to swallow him.
Was this a flesh-eating flower?
George was confused and quickly backed away.
"Die!" Melina shouted, sweeping her long spear. A spear beam shot out, instantly breaking the huge purple flower. Purple liquid flowed down.
"Grrr..."
A painful cry came from below. Then more purple flowers appeared in the forest. Their petals opened wide, showing jagged teeth, and they rushed toward George and the others.
The Spineblossom, 50-level, HP 50,000
George saw the stats of these purple flowers. They were only 50-level monsters. Constantine and the others could easily handle them.
Light flashed. Magic roared. Green blood flew through the air. The forest was filled with monster screams as huge The Spineblossoms were torn apart and killed.
Killed The Spineblossom, Experience +5,000, Points +50
Obtained Materials: Purple Petal x12, Thorn Spike x5, Charm Pollen x3
Obtained Equipment: Thorn Armor (Silver)
...
The messages kept popping up. The points from killing these The Spineblossoms added up to 50 points.
In just a short time, George had already earned over 700 points.
The trees moved. More The Spineblossoms kept coming out of the forest. Alongside them, long thorny vines appeared, trying to wrap around George and the others, pulling them into the ground.
But these The Spineblossoms were too weak. They couldn't even fight back.
Dozens of thick vines howled through the air, rushing toward George.
Before he could react, a fire wall rose. It was Elise's magic.
The vines near the fire wall immediately caught fire and quickly backed away, screaming.
"These guys are afraid of fire," Elise's eyes lit up. She quickly warned, "I got it."
"Leave it to me," Eliex floated in mid-air, holding a magic staff, muttering words under his breath.
"Flame that burns beneath the Abyss, hear my call. Come to this world, purify the souls of enemies, Hellfire!"
Eliex's body was surrounded by wild fire elements. As he finished speaking, the forest below suddenly erupted with endless flames.
"This spell must be just as strong as a Forbidden Spell," George was surprised.
When Eliex started his magic chant, George could feel something unusual. Endless flames rose and quickly swallowed the forest below, spreading outward fast.
"Grrr, grrr..."
A series of angry roars echoed. Each fierce The Spineblossom struggled in the fire, then was burned to ashes.
Killed The Spineblossom, Experience +5,000, Points +50
...
The message flashed again. George's points jumped wildly, increasing rapidly. In just a few breaths, they went up by over 10,000 points and kept rising.
No wonder Eliex dared to challenge Constantine. Even if he wasn't a match for Constantine, he wasn't far behind.
Killed The Spineblossom Boss, Experience +200,000, Points +2,000
In the fire, a much taller dark purple flower roared and struggled, then was finally consumed by the endless flames.
It was the boss here.
"This kind of fight is boring," Constantine said, seeing no more The Spineblossoms coming out. He looked annoyed.
