A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

My consciousness gradually became clearer, and I was back in the dark and damp cave.

"Ah, welcome back, Miss Wu Yue."

Mr. Maxim said.

"...Mr. Maxim, is there anything new?"

"Of course... First of all, the current situation of your dream... Since the last time you left, the dream has become more unstable. I am not sure about the specific reason. Maybe it is related to the displacement in your reality?"

......

"I see, you have arrived in the Eastern Wasteland now... It's called Colin Village, right?"

"Yes, I also met Lalanoya in real life. She is doing well."

"Oh, that kid..."

"Well, Mr. Maxime, please..."

"The underground city? I just came back from there. Please wait a moment and I will explain it to you..."

"Eh?"

A few seconds later, my perspective switched and I arrived in the Florence dungeon, in the corridor leading to the top floor of the castle.

Is this the Florence Underground City in the dream world?

If converted to reality, it should be the dungeon four years ago...

But with such a long time span, four years can basically be ignored...

Following Mr. Maxim's perspective at the time, the ball of light flew deeper into the distance.

"I have to say, this is indeed the scale that only a real capital of the human empire can have. It is not much inferior to the city of Branmore thousands of years later."

"By the way, the armor on both sides doesn't look very peaceful, so you must be careful when exploring." Mr. Maxim reminded.

"Um... Actually, it has already..."

I told Mr. Maxim about what I had explored with Sophia and the others, and also told him the new information about the core of the labyrinth.

"Hmm...I see. Since the structure has changed, the information I collected is meaningless. Let's just skip it."

As he spoke, the scene in front of us flashed again, and we came to the bottom floor of the castle, the backyard where the corpses of the Eye of Insight members were found.

“That’s where we found the Eye of Insight’s mission report,” I said to Mr. Maxim.

"The Eye of Insight is like this. They can be found in every corner of the continent..."

"Not only this one, I have also discovered other eyes of insight..."

Then, Mr. Maxim took me to several locations in succession, and in each place I could see the Eye of Insight uniform and one or more corpses.

"This is a complete organization, Miss Wu Yue, I recognize it... This underground city once buried an entire Eye of Insight investigation team."

"The uniforms of the Eye of Insight have been changed several times. Judging from what they are wearing, they are exactly the same as the ones worn by the group before the split of the Charles Empire five hundred years ago. They were also the most arrogant group..."

"Wherever the Eye of Insight appears, there must be something they covet."

The only thing in Florence Underground City that they covet is...

The scene flashed again, and we came to the entrance of a large dark cave.

There were also several corpses of Eyes of Insight lying here in a mess.

From time to time, a few red lights appeared from the top of the hole.

"That is......"

"That's what killed these seeing eyes."

It must be those ancient vampires.

“Your vision may be a little blurry when passing through this area, which is normal,” Mr. Maxim reminded.

"why is that?"

Before Mr. Maxim could answer, the ball of light had already floated in.

Just as Mr. Maxim said, the scene in front of me suddenly became blurred, as if something was interfering...

But even with such blurred vision, I still caught a glimpse of the monsters.

It had pale skin, a pair of equally pale fleshy wings on its back, sharp claws on its limbs that firmly grasped the rock wall, and a pair of blood-red eyes that opened from time to time and looked straight ahead, emitting a little red light, even though there was clearly nothing there.

An indescribable, fragmented sound came from all directions, making people feel panic and suffocated. Even the "Meditation Technique" that had not been effective for a long time began to work.

"Please... hold on... for a moment... "

Mr. Maxim's voice also became intermittent.

Just as I was gradually lost in this atmosphere, the scene in front of me returned to normal.

"......What on earth was that just now......"

I quickly calmed myself down and asked Mr. Maxim.

"Where those monsters gather, there is a very strong magnetic field. I think that might be their way of communicating..."

comminicate?

In other words, these monsters have been gathering underground, hanging on the rock wall like this, chatting for thousands of years?

I told Mr. Maxim about my idea.

"No, I think it's because these eyes of insight have awakened the monsters that have been sleeping for thousands of years, causing them to become so agitated..."

The ball of light continued to move forward, but there was no longer any scary monster in front of it. Instead, there was a pool of blood...

I saw that there seemed to be two corpses of Eyes of Insight next to the blood pool. The difference was that next to those skeletons, there was a corpse of a monster.

Suddenly, I remembered the mission report I received at the beginning. It clearly mentioned that they killed an "unknown creature" to collect samples and lost two people... Could it be that this is the place...

"Mr. Maxim, what is the average strength of the Eye of Insight investigation team?"

"...The minimum requirement should be intermediate... It's hard to say. I don't know the internal rules of the Eye of Insight very well. At least in my memory, those who can join the Eye of Insight, except for ordinary informants, are at least intermediate professionals..."

If that's the case, with so many people surrounding a monster, they still lost two members...

This monster's strength should be far inferior to the "Nightmare" that I encountered, which is somewhat similar to it in appearance. After all, the "Nightmare" has surpassed the average Grandmaster in terms of strength alone...

But even so, these ancient vampires still pose a considerable threat to ordinary adventurers because there are too many of them.

This is very important information and must be communicated to the guild to reduce unnecessary casualties...
