Wielding the Holy Sword, with the countless buffs granted by Iyas, Yang Yu was unstoppable.
In the past, the monsters of the underground maze that were extremely difficult for Yang Yu and his companions, could now be dispatched with just a few swings from Yang Yu.
A variety of gold coins and treasures rained down everywhere, but Yang Yu and his companions didn’t stop to pick up the loot; instead, they sped forward, feeling a bit like they were racing to finish.
During the past half month of rest, Yang Yu, aside from organizing this operation, didn’t stay idle for long.
Defeating the Demon King and demons, completing numerous tasks, Yang Yu had a wealth of skill points.
The skills Yang Yu was previously hesitant to add were now all made up for.
Along the way, Yang Yu acquired several rather rare skills.
The way Yang Yu acquired skills was simple and straightforward.
To quickly acquire skills that matched his own, it was essential to seek out someone with the same profession. During the rest, he occasionally went out to find renowned local warriors, sparred with them, and humbly learned the skills he found useful.
Although it hadn’t been long since he obtained those skills, Yang Yu wielded them skillfully, as if he had practiced them diligently for years.
These small skills played a significant role as Yang Yu rapidly conquered this underground maze, allowing him to descend seven floors without much effort.
As they ventured deeper, the monsters in Lux’s secret underground maze increased in level from Level 50 on the first floor to Level 140.
The monsters on the seventh floor had average attributes reaching over four thousand, with thick blood volumes that Yang Yu couldn’t simply overcome with a few swings.
This was when the long-awaited magicians stepped onto the stage.
Bai Jin quickly gathered magic power, and from the yellow magic array in front of him, yellow currents surged forth, quickly passing through the towering beasts, reducing their magic resistance.
Li Yan spread out a massive flaming disc, while Tico forged countless sharp ice cones; the two of them collaborated with the frenzied hurricanes and continuous streams from the Dragon God’s Might’s long-range attackers, rapidly reducing the blood volume of each giant beast.
Those who were adept at close combat moved through the sparks of magic, drawing their weapons and mercilessly striking each roaring behemoth, toppling them to the ground.
Unlike the previous floors, even after defeating the giants on the seventh floor, Yang Yu and his companions didn’t receive any reward items.
Looking at the walls around them, they could see obvious signs of battle.
The Evil Dragon’s offspring might have trained here; Yang Yu and his team were getting closer to their goal.
Entering the eighth floor, Yang Yu and his companions used the same method, overcoming the obstacles of the eighth floor and hastily reaching the ninth floor.
This ninth floor was immediately different from the others.
The vast space was pitch dark; they used magic to illuminate the entire area, with a massive conference table in the center covered by a thin layer of dust.
This seemed to tell Yang Yu and his team that they were late; the Evil Dragon’s offspring, along with the demons, had already gone, and all their previous efforts were in vain.
Luo Bei from Dragon God’s Might spread his hands, helpless and frustrated expressions climbing onto his face:
"Well, that was a wasted trip.
If you knew the situation, you should have told us earlier.
If we had arrived a bit sooner, we wouldn’t have ended up empty-handed like now."
Yang Yu didn’t respond to Luo Bei’s words; he merely glanced at Bai Jin nearby and spoke:
"Do you remember what I said before?
If they choose to surrender, there’s no need to take their lives, but if they continue to resist, don’t hold back.
Our safety is of utmost priority.
Don’t make any mistake on this point.
Under this premise, if there are any special circumstances, I’ll inform you in advance.
With our current strength, no matter what kind of enemy we face, we can battle them.
The Curse Sect and demons, which were difficult to fight before, we now have enough resourcefulness to deal with."
After the battle with the Evil Dragon, everyone present was extremely aware of the strength Yang Yu and his team now possessed.
Yang Yu’s words were not directed at the companions present.
"I say, it really is an old-fashioned trick.
If it were a few months ago, when I had just participated in the Dragon God Conference, we might have been tricked.
But things are different now.
Kekarlos, your moves are ineffective.
Even now, do you still want to fight for the demon?
Listen carefully, the demons you worship are nothing but liars.
In the past, I couldn’t convince you all before executing such a plan due to lack of understanding.
Now...
Now I probably can’t convince you either; after all, what I say next might very well negate your existence and the path you’ve adhered to so far.
Many people fear denial of everything they’ve done so far more than death.
Denying what they stand for, they’ll become hysterical, desperate to prove that everything they’ve done is right...
What I say next will surely provoke your aversion and incite your hysteria.
But I must say it.
I believe you all have the right to know the truth."
In the vast space, there was no sound as though Yang Yu was speaking to the air.
But Yang Yu wasn’t really speaking to the air.
Bai Jin finally started quickly reciting a spell, striking the ground three times with the end of the magic wand, Sigh Seed.
White cracks spread across the ground from where Bai Jin struck, and Bai Jin rotated the magic wand against the ground, causing the white cracks to rapidly cover the entire space at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With a "snap" sound, the entire space shattered like glass, revealing its original form.
Kekarlos, along with several Song Yang and the Evil Dragon’s offspring, stood before a giant maze monster.
Hugging a jar full of candy tightly, Kekarlos lifted his head and glared at Yang Yu:
"Now that things have come to this, you who have destroyed our sect and ruined our ideals, what more is there to say?
My father and mother sacrificed their lives for the shared ideals of this sect.
Aside from my parents, many people who treated me well also willingly gave their lives to continuously struggle for our shared ideals.
The path they chose definitely wasn’t wrong.
With your victorious stance, you absolutely don’t understand our pain."
Yang Yu let out a long sigh: "The path they chose isn’t wrong?
Kekarlos.
It’s regrettable, harboring such a thought is inherently wrong.
I know you are utterly confused.
The environment you’ve lived in and the things you’ve experienced have shackled your understanding.
What I’ve come to understand, you’ve never known. This haste to deny only highlights your cowardice.
What are you afraid of? Are you scared of change?
Afraid that after knowing the truth, you’ll change your mind and betray the expectations and efforts of everyone else?
Saying I don’t understand your pain; on the contrary, I understand it very well.
If I truly knew nothing about you, I wouldn’t be standing here persuading you, but rather rushing over to bury you myself, and moving on to the next floor to capture the mastermind behind it all."
