A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"The man came alone on horseback..."

"At that time, the exploration of the underground city had just begun, and we needed someone knowledgeable to help us improve efficiency."

Due to the report we provided, the guild didn't dare to go too deep at the time, and could only conduct some simple explorations on the upper level before the help from the vampires arrived.

For example, clear out the evil spirit armors guarding the hall, and collect some samples from the rooms on the top floor for research.

He went into the secret passage again and checked the remains of the corpses that were about to turn into ashes.

But things were different when the vampires arrived. President Locke immediately gave orders to advance deeper into the castle.

Unlike when we retreated, the passages inside the castle had changed at some point. The original food passage that led directly to the castle kitchen had disappeared, and the staircase we took when we retreated was also nowhere to be found.

To enter the bottom floor of the castle, you must find another entrance.

"Wait, why can't we find the original entrance?" Beora asked.

"Hasn't Beorra ever been to a dungeon or a big maze before?" said Kolulu.

"That time... was the first time..."

"...Many old underground labyrinths will have a 'maze core', which will give the labyrinth a self-protection mechanism to prevent intruders from finding the core. This self-protection mechanism includes but is not limited to 'path change', 'structural reorganization', 'evil spirits', and even 'attracting monsters'..."

"Miss Kelulu is right. These are also some of the common obstacles that the guild has encountered when exploring various ruins mazes."

President Locke agreed.

"So it's just that the structure of the dungeon has changed a little. This is perfectly normal... President Locke, please continue."

"Anyway, it took us a while... and we finally found the hidden entrance... No, now that I think about it, maybe it was meant for us to find it?"

After discovering the new entrance, the guild immediately sent out an advance team to explore. Those who came back to report said that they had completely explored that entire floor and found a new entrance that continued downwards.

At this point, the purpose of the maze has become very clear. The structure of the entire underground city has become a layered pattern with almost only one entrance and exit.

And according to the members of the advance team who returned, there are many traps, monsters, and evil spirits on that floor. They are not very powerful, but very annoying.

"Based on past experience, the strength of these obstacles will increase with each layer we go deeper. At that time, the guild was short-handed, and it was impossible to reach the bottom in a short period of time. So I asked for support from the headquarters while comforting the person from the vampire clan..."

But judging from the current situation...it seems that President Locke's consolation is of no use.

"But the vampire didn't care at all and wanted to explore further down by herself. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to let her go..."

"Then?"

"Then we lost contact and have not heard from him since then."

President Locke pointed to a crystal ball placed nearby and said.

"People are missing. I have to report this to the headquarters. The headquarters said that they will continue to coordinate with the vampires to get more support. We have no choice but to follow the previous practice and send out a recruitment message to the adventurers to attract them to explore. Then we will ask a few of you to come and help..."

President Locke has a lot to consider.

"But you also said that the structure of the underground city has been completely changed. It is no longer what we were familiar with. So even if we come, we won't be able to do much..."

"Miss Wu Yue, there is no need to underestimate yourself. You were able to reach the bottom of the castle and successfully retreat, which was far beyond most adventurers. Although the structure of the maze has changed, it will definitely not be difficult for you. Moreover, no matter how the upper maze changes, the structure of the bottom will not change. That is where you can show your skills."

"Oh, that sounds nice, but you just want to recruit people to work for you?" said the master.

President Locke paused, seemingly observing our expressions.

"Please rest assured. I guarantee with my position and character that I will reward you handsomely after the task is completed."

When Beora heard that there was a huge reward, she couldn't hold back any longer.

Fortunately, Sophia is still very cautious.

"Okay, we'll take it," said Sophia.

???

Sorry, I take that back...

"Okay! I'll have someone arrange everything and make long-term preparations. If you have any other needs, you can tell me directly."

......

"Sophia, why did you agree so easily?"

Walking out of the tent, Ke Lulu asked.

"No matter what, we are here for the truth. Regardless of whether we agree to President Locke's request or not, we will enter the maze to find out. It would be great if we have the support of the guild..."

"Besides, President Locke didn't tell the whole truth," Sophia said.

"Of course, it's not out of any bad intentions... When you passed by those tents just now, did you notice the composition of some of the adventurers?"

"Ingredients?" Beorra asked in confusion.

"By the way, there seem to be guys from the church." said Kelulu.

Thinking about it carefully, I did seem to see a few people wearing Holy Light Church clothing just now, and their eyes were very unfriendly, especially when they saw Kelulu...

"Also...Ms. Armand clearly mentioned that we would meet again in the dungeon, but President Locke didn't mention anything about them."

Apart from the vampire who arrived first, President Locke did not mention any follow-up support from the vampires, that is, a big vampire like Ms. Armand coming in person...

"There is only one possibility. The vampires have given up their original cooperation with the guild and plan to explore the maze on their own..."

"In that case, the church's presence here can be explained..."

What made the blood clan go from not taking it seriously in the beginning and only sending one person, to now having the True Ancestor personally take charge and set up their own sect?

Is Queen Luna so important to the vampires?

“I didn’t expect that the guild also needs to win over others and expand its power…” said Kelulu.

"I always feel that the forces involved are far more than just the guild, the church, and the blood clan..."

Sophia whispered.

"In any case, stay here first. Once we get to the maze, some things will naturally come to light."
