A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

It has to be said that there are quite a few adventurers coming here to explore. The once empty hall on the top floor of the castle is now crowded.

Many of them were here for the first time, and they came in groups of three or five, looking around.

However, according to President Locke, this floor has already been explored by the guild, so there should be nothing valuable left. Once the curiosity of these adventurers fades, the number of people on this floor will naturally decrease.

Miss An led the way and brought us to a collapsed wall.

"Three of you, this is the new entrance to the next level."

I looked up and saw the light of fire in the collapsed wall. Those were the lighting torches placed by the guild in the explored area. If I followed the torches, I could naturally avoid most of the dangers.

At least we should be able to reach the middle level of the castle that Miss An mentioned.

From time to time, various noises were heard from the passage, including the sounds of other adventurers fighting, the roars of monsters, and the sound of a building collapsing somewhere.

I think other people might not be so sensitive to these sounds.

"Master, have you explored this area yesterday?"

"Yeah, I barely made it through. It was much more difficult than I imagined. I thought I could use the characteristics of the frame to drill a hole and reach the deepest level in one go, but I underestimated the power of the core of the maze."

"Eh? Even Master..."

"You'll find out later."

As they were talking, there was a commotion from the other end of the passage, and then several wounded adventurers appeared at the end of the road.

One of them was carried on his back, covered in wounds, and seemed to have been... beaten?

We immediately pulled over to clear the road, and a group of people retreated to the upper level in the blink of an eye.

"That man is possessed by an evil spirit." said Miss An.

"Is it like the upper level evil spirit armor?" Beora asked.

"That's right. The characteristic of this dungeon is that it is full of evil spirits, but there are fewer monsters. Moreover, these evil spirits are quite old. They must be former residents."

It seems that the grave keepers are not aware that the underground city was actually the former capital of the Florence Empire.

"Be careful, don't touch those antiques, jewelry, or... paintings, mirrors, etc. Forget it, it's best not to touch anything..."

"Old Bree... You are the only wizard in the team. Be careful of the evil spirits around, especially Fei... Don't let her come into contact with the evil spirits."

"Okay, I understand, An..."

The old man with his face covered by a hood said tremblingly.

Walking out of the passage, you will see an intricate space in front of you. You can see countless passages and tiny sparks of fire.

This is the "maze".

The last time we came here, the core of the maze had not yet been triggered, and we took a shortcut. Now that we are back in the castle, we finally feel the vastness of the content covered by this dungeon.

"We are out of luck. The maze has changed again..."

Miss An looked at the scene in front of her and said.

"Does that mean we have to find a new way out?" Sophia asked.

"That's not necessary. We made a mark before we left, which can save a lot of trouble, Senes."

Miss An called the name of Senes who wrapped himself tightly.

Senes, who was originally walking at the back of the team, stepped forward, squatted, put one hand on the dusty ground, and chanted spells.

Soon, a blood-red magic circle opened, and a blood line emerged from the magic circle, extending forward and turning at a corner.

"Blood magic?" Sophia asked with a frown.

Among the gravekeepers there is someone who uses blood magic, which is what vampires are good at?

"Understanding the enemy will help you better counter them, right? Miss Sophia would definitely do the same... right?"

"When Senes was young, he contracted vampire disease, but he was unable to completely transform into a vampire. By chance, he got the help of a gravekeeper and saved his life. But the price is as you can see. He can't show his true face normally. Only in battle..."

"Because of this, he hated the vampires to the core and volunteered to learn blood magic in order to catch the blood-sucking monsters by surprise when fighting them and kill them with their best abilities."

After Miss An finished her introduction, Senes, who was squatting on the ground, also finished casting the spell, stood up and said:

"An, the path has been laid out. Do you want me to lead the way?"

"No need, I can find the way, let's go to the back and rest for a while."

"Ah."

I never thought there would be such a strange person among the grave keepers...

It must be very uncomfortable to be treated as an alien since childhood.

Also facing the threat of death at all times.

......

With the help of Mr. Senes just now, we were able to follow the marks and go straight to the next floor, without having to wander around on this floor like headless flies and waste time here.

"Although the structure of the maze has changed, there are no additional evil spirits and traps on this level..."

The master said.

"Wait, Master, did the structure of the maze change only yesterday?"

"Yes, it has completely changed. Yesterday's work was in vain..."

From the Master’s tired tone this morning, it was clear that he had indeed put in a lot of effort yesterday.

"So where did Master reach in one breath yesterday..."

"It doesn't matter now. Wherever I can go, these gravekeepers can also go."

"There is one thing that I am concerned about..."

"That's the church... Why did the Holy Light Church sneak in here..."

"Is there anything strange about this?"

"Of course it's strange. With the influence of the church on the continent, there is no need for it to hide among ordinary adventurers. It would not be difficult to contact the guilds directly and force them to cooperate."

"But they insisted on acting in secret and even appeared openly in the dungeon yesterday..."

The master talked about what happened yesterday when he explored the lower level of the castle.

At that time, the people of the church were fighting against a group of evil spirits. All kinds of holy light magic were flying around, and the suppressing power on the evil spirits was extremely strong. Many evil spirits never regrouped after being dispersed.

The leading cardinal was probably of king-level strength, and the entire team had almost no baggage and no spoils of war.

It can be seen that they did not come here for the wealth in the dungeon at all.

"And when I left, they hadn't evacuated from the underground city. Maybe they are still in the city today..."

"I can't see what their purpose is, but my intuition tells me that it's not that simple."

"Now it seems that the ones with the purest motives are us and these grave keepers... The other forces all have their own ulterior motives."
