Luo Yan no longer paid attention to his impotent fury.
While verbally restraining Arist, a multi-colored butterfly quietly flew out from beside him, passing through the layers of flesh wall like a ghost, and made its way toward the deepest part of the maze, where the energy core was located.
Quickly, it found it.
At the bottom of the maze, a giant artificial crystal was suspended in mid-air.
It was supposed to emit a gentle holy light, but at this mont, it was tightly wrapped by countless grotesque blood-colored veins, like a beating heart, supplying chaotic energy to the entire maze!
In front of the crystal core, an intense battle was unfolding.
Ilana, Ophelia, Hard, and Bain, four apprentices, were unexpectedly fighting side by side with the four players from the "Yiye Zhiqu" team.
This scene actually surprised Luo Yan a bit. He had only instructed the players to halt their original main quest and escort the magic apprentices to a safe point nearby, but didn't expect these four unconventional players to do the opposite, heading directly to the fourth level of the maze.
The sa went for Ophelia and the others. After narrowly escaping with their lives, instead of running away imdiately, they took advantage of Arist being unable to focus on them and went deeper into the core of the maze.
Two groups of souls from different worlds thus coincidentally t on the journey. Not only that, they overca their fear of each other and cooperated seamlessly for the sa goal, jointly resisting the Wailings pouring in from all directions.
"Minotaur, hold the left! Pigman, the gap on the right!" Yiye Zhiqu calmly commanded, while holding the picked-up sword and shield, taking on the role of a damage dealer.
Although it was regrettable he couldn't use his most skilled magic, he was soone who knew how to adapt, quickly getting accustod to the new fighting style.
"Understood!" The Minotaur Warrior and Pigman Knight roared, using their bodies and makeshift bone shields to staunchly defend the passageway.
Behind them, Bain and Hard were intently chanting spells, providing spell support for the undead ahead.
As for Ilana,
Her magic power wasn't outstanding, but she was doing her best, unleashing Ice Arrows at the Wailings surging forward.
"Ophelia! Now's the ti!" Bain suddenly shouted, a gust as strong as a heavy hamr surging from the tip of his staff.
It was air compressed almost into solidity, pushing aside dozens of Wailings before heading straight for the dark red crystal floating in mid-air!
"Oh oh oh!"
Unlike her usual modest deanor, Ophelia shouted with overwhelming montum, pulling out a thick stack of magic scrolls from her storage ring, each one emitting a heart-stopping energy!
Through the butterfly's vision, Luo Yan saw this scene and smiled knowingly.
He had initially prepared to personally end this farce, but now it seed like there was no longer any need for that.
Finally aware of the imminent threat, Arist let out a horrified, reluctant roar.
"No——!"
It was already too late.
While he was restraining Colin, Colin was, in turn, holding him back.
Explosive flas burst with unprecedented scorching light under the hyper-compressed air!
This light illuminated new inspirations regarding fire magic in the hearts of Hard and Bain, completely shattering Arist's ambitions.
He tried to mobilize all the maze's power to suppress it, but everything was too late. Especially when he saw the butterfly quietly resting on Ophelia's shoulder, he completely abandoned the idea of rushing over to tear these four apprentices apart.
That would be walking right into a trap!
With an earth-shaking boom, a violent energy erupted from the shattered maze core, instantly overwhelming everything Arist had built with his chaotic power.
His soul let out a cry of agony, feeling as if part of it was being forcibly torn away by that force!
At the sa ti, the flesh wall fused with him began to decay on a large scale, and the dark red crystal was fragnting like peeling skin!
The entire maze let out a painful wail like a dying beast, collapsing along with his newly ford "Divine Domain."
Fear seized Arist's heart!
The dream of ascending to the Purple Crystal Level had burst like a bubble, and now his only thought was to escape this damn snowy field before other sages could arrive!
As long as he survived, he might have another chance!
He forcibly separated his will from this collapsing "body," frantically rushing upward, ultimately crashing out from behind a wall on the first level amidst flying debris!
The broken exit was right in front of him!
The cold wind of freedom seed to already brush his cheeks, carrying a refreshing sweetness of breakthrough.
However, before Arist could take that step, a profound darkness blood unexpectedly from the shadows at the corner of his vision.
It was a spear ford purely from Black Fla!
Silent yet deadlier than any sound, it pierced through his chest in an instant, pinning him firmly to the collapsing stone wall behind him!
"Ugh—!!"
Arist scread in pain, looking down in disbelief at the hole in his chest, burning his soul.
Chaotic power could not extinguish that black fla!
At this mont, a tall figure slowly erged from the shadows beside him. In those calm eyes, Arist saw his complete defeat in despair.
