Crown Dead

"This is the last one—the monsters on this floor are basically eliminated at present, let's catch up with the big troops and go to the next floor as soon as possible."

After killing the last monster that Tia got up after buying the indescribable potion, Ba Yuqian shook off the blood on the samurai sword and retracted the scabbard, looking at Columbus and his party who were still mobilizing before the battle not far away.

It seems that the mobilization speech has reached its peak, and the emotions of all adventurers have been incited to the extreme.

"Everyone, the reason why we can come here is not only because of everyone's unity, but also because each of you has the ability to be proud of!"

"Therefore, in order to consolidate my rule, please die."

"—!?"

Columbus, who was still encouraging the adventure group just a second ago, suddenly performed Sichuan Opera's unique face-changing + the same facial art in the city.He reached out to hold an extremely secret wrench next to the teleportation point on the 20th floor, and in an instant the land where the adventure group was standing turned into a bottomless giant pit.

Because everything happened so abruptly and quickly, all the adventurers were still immersed in the excitement of the unknown 20th floor, satisfied with everything they had experienced along the way.The next second, he was suddenly betrayed by Columbus.The huge contrast caused this group of adventurers to be trapped in the trap, and they couldn't even utter curses or screams.

"..."

The exhilarating noise before was like a hallucination, and there was only boundless silence for a while, and Columbus's gradually abstract expression.

"—Hahaha! You still want to challenge the rule of Chaos and Evil on this level? Naive, really too naive! Honestly, let’s become the fertilizer, parts, and screws of this tower! Hahaha——Eh ?”

"Eh?"

Columbus had just put on a posture of "I am the one who won in the end!", and noticed Xianyu and his party rushing over before laughing enough.

"..." "..."

If there's anything more embarrassing than failing to pretend to be coquettish, it should be halfway through pretending to be coquettish and accidentally hitting the opponent's palm with his face.

After looking at each other for a while, Columbus coughed twice, and then stretched out his index finger to point to the string.

"You bastard! Don't be late for me the next time the leader mobilizes!"

"So it's my fault!?"

Xian Yu was dumbfounded.

"And you! Don't go around pouring strange liquids on the flowers and plants, okay, issuing a weeding task actually resulted in a 75% injury rate, and the 3-layer mandala ran all over the ground!"

"Aaa?"

Tia turned her head away and tried to whistle.

"As for you... what, the new work "Tram Sekiro" is released, you can buy it by jumping down from this pit?"

"Really?"

Bayuqian's heart fluttered for a moment.

"How could it be true? Hey--you are a [-]-year-old boy! But what's the point of doing this to you?!"

While holding Bayuqian, Xianyu loudly questioned what was the point of Columbus doing this.

"Meaning? You don't understand anything at all!"

"The only thing I've learned is that you didn't consider these people who trusted you and adventured with you for so long as your companions for even a second!"

"Partner? This word is a complete joke to me! Standing on the commanding heights and pointing at others, what qualifications do you have to educate me!"

Columbus also seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, he roared and refuted Xianyu.

"I have never said that I am your 'partner'! Whether it is recruiting adventurers, gathering everyone together, or leading and guiding you to get here-all the things I do are just for the sake of This moment: Get rid of those guys who might affect my dominance over the top 20 floors!"

This is the whole plan of Columbus. As a leader, guide, and encourager, he has accumulated reputation in contacts, and will even help those adventurers who have the ability to grow to become stronger.But his ultimate goal is just to get rid of these powerful adventurers in one go.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened to you, it has nothing to do with me—since the other brave men have been killed by Kong Ming, the responsibility of killing Chaos Evil naturally falls on a guy like me."

Xianyu took out the skill cassette, Ba Yuqian made a gesture of drawing a sword and slashing, a ball of water appeared in Tia's palm, and the string played "...!?"

Columbus saw Xiaozao coming out from behind Tia, and Yan Yi, who had finally calmed down a little, started up again.

"You guy——no, it shouldn't be possible. Anyway, see you on the 20th floor. If you want to carry the title of 'brave', then go find it!"

For some reason, Columbus suddenly became very flustered, said something in a hurry, and left along the teleportation point on the 20th floor.

"—?"

Zuo tilted his head to express that he didn't know why Columbus had such a big reaction.

"It's about to go, if you have any questions, wait until you beat that guy up and then ask slowly. No matter what - the guy who tramples on other people's dreams and goals at will must not be forgiven so easily."

"—!?"

Xianyu hugged Xiaozao's slender waist, and with both feet exerted force to lead her across the deep pit, Ba Yuqian and Tia followed closely to the teleportation point.

"Teleportation, 20th floor."

The body gradually feels the upward traction, and the surrounding scenery is also pulled and reconstructed like an aurora.

The 20th floor - the center of a palace, surrounded by magnificent palaces, earthy shining crystal pendants and huge vases, red carpets and gorgeous thrones inlaid with holy crystals at the front.

If you take a closer look...

"...what are you doing?"

Xianyu asked with black lines on the side of the throne, who was panting heavily while spreading cushions on the chair.

"..."
