"Dark Night, over here!"
Tang Hao waved at someone not far away. Although Dark Night was not a player, Kuri had already marked her, so it was not difficult to find her.
"How are you?" Tang Hao immediately asked when he saw Dark Night running over in a hurry.
"We've been tricked." Dark Night shook her head. "The enemy's guardians have all been dispatched. It's not safe to stay here for long. For safety's sake, we must leave immediately."
"Is that so …" Although he had already guessed this result, after learning the truth, Tang Hao was still a little disappointed. Originally, he came to investigate the Bone King's movements, but in the end, he was exposed before he could do anything. It was terrible.
No, from another perspective, since the Bone King already knew that someone had invaded the ninth level of the Great Tomb, then with his paranoid personality, he should think that there was a problem with the defense of the Great Tomb and further strengthen the defense. In other words, for the time being, there was no need to worry about him sending guardians to invade Aincrad.
So, it seemed that their goal was achieved in another form? At least it gave Aincrad more room to develop. In that case, there was really no need to stay here. It was better to leave as soon as possible.
"Kuri, can you teleport us out?" Thinking of this, Tang Hao immediately asked.
Kuri shook her head. "No, the conflict in the system is too strong. I can't use that much authority now, but I feel that the system protection of the Great Tomb is spreading upward from the ninth level. If we can reach the first few levels, I should be able to use teleportation."
"In other words, we have to break through on foot?"
Tang Hao frowned. According to Dark Night's explanation, the Guardians who had been chasing her had suddenly disappeared. Logically speaking, they should have guessed that this side wanted to escape from the Great Tomb. Therefore, they had taken the first step to guard each level, preparing to wait for the rabbit … After all, the enemy had Dimiugos, so it was not surprising that they could think of such a strategy.
If they wanted to escape, they had to break through all levels first … Well, it felt like Guan Yu had defeated six generals after five passes, but compared to the strength of the two sides, they didn't have the advantage of force like Guan Yu, and the guardians weren't as weak as the six generals after five passes. Moreover, they might be discovered by the enemy on the way. It was really a difficult challenge.
Of course, if they could rely on Kuri's shielding ability to hide and wait for the shuttle value to cool down, they could directly bring Dark Night and Kuri to Fantasy Village. However, the Bone King had too many world-class tools in his hands, and even he wasn't sure what functions they had. If Kuri's shielding suddenly failed, they would be caught like turtles in a jar, and they would not be able to escape no matter what.
Sure enough, it was safer to break through.
However, facing so many Guardians, the possibility of breaking through with Dark Night's strength alone was too low.
Da Bendan: Sister Zi, we're in trouble.
Therefore, Tang Hao immediately contacted Amethyst.
If there was nothing, look for Mother Zi. If there was something, look for Sister Zi. This was an unchanging truth.
The seventeen-year-old girl: Oh, it seems that the mission this time isn't going well. Well, don't worry too much about it. After all, victory and defeat are common for soldiers. With your current strength, invading the big tomb is indeed a little too difficult … I have three brocade sachets here. When you feel that you have nowhere to go, open them in order. They might be of some help to you.
Soon, Tang Hao received the three brocade sachets that Amethyst sent over. These three brocade sachets looked very delicate and even had a faint fragrance. However, Tang Hao's gaze suddenly became strange.
Three brocade sachets. Do you think you're Zhuge Zi?
Moreover …
Da Bendan: Why do I feel like you've guessed from the beginning that our operation would fail?
The seventeen-year-old girl: No, I don't have the ability to predict the future. It's just that your side just happened to fail, and I just happened to have a wonderful plan. It's just a pure coincidence.
Only a ghost would believe you!
This sounded like nonsense. Tang Hao would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. However, now that things had come to this, he could not be bothered to think so much. Since Amethyst had made preparations in advance, he had more confidence in escaping. He immediately put away the brocade sachets and nodded at Dark Night.
At the same time, Kuri opened her hands and shrouded Dark Night with her authority.
As long as Tang Hao stayed by Kuri's side, Kuri could completely block him. No matter what kind of reconnaissance method she used, it would be impossible to find him. However, Dark Night was not a player. Kuri had to divide a part of her power to achieve this. Moreover, from her frowning expression, this matter was quite difficult. It was probably not a long-term solution.
Therefore, Tang Hao did not delay any longer. He raced against time and immediately took action with Dark Night.
With Kuri's screen and reconnaissance, they did not have to worry about being discovered by the enemy along the way. They could also confirm the enemy's location in advance and successfully avoid them. Moreover, there were no guardians on the ninth floor, so the three of them quickly completed their breakthrough and entered the eighth floor.
The eighth floor was huge, but also very quiet. Tang Hao was a bit nervous as he walked along. As far as he knew, the eighth floor was filled with terrifying entities. Even the guardians of the necropolis referred to them as "those". Compared to the guardians on the surface, "those" were the true trump cards of the Great Necropolis. Even the Bone King wouldn't count for much if he didn't have a world-class item in hand.
Of course, under normal circumstances, such a disaster-level existence would not be used. However, Tang Hao was not sure if the Bone King would use these nuclear-weapon-level combat power for them. He was afraid that he would suddenly sing the flower of hope as he walked.
Fortunately, although they were scared along the way, they did not encounter any enemies. They arrived at the seventh floor without any danger.
Then, at the exit of the seventh floor, just as the two of them were about to rush over in one go.
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time."
A figure appeared out of thin air and blocked the exit.
He was tall and wore a red western-style suit. Although he had the appearance of a human, he had sharp ears and a metallic tail. He was the guardian of the seventh floor, Dimiugos.
Even though he appeared to be very polite and elegant, in Overlord's story, the two-legged sheep farm and the skinning of humans to make scrolls were all his masterpieces. A large part of the reason why the Bone King became so evil in the later stages was because of him.
At the same time, Kuri immediately used identification and reminded them, "Brother and Sister, be careful. He is a demon of the highest level. He has the special ability of Ruling Incantation and the three-stage transformation of the demon. We must break through before his third transformation."
"It seems that our previous judgment was wrong. There is not only one intruder, but two … No, are we going to add another one?" Dimiugos adjusted his glasses and looked at Tang Hao with a smile. "However, I've prepared a stage to entertain you. That's what the others call me — the Infernal Creator."
In an instant, endless flames surged out of the ground. The entire environment seemed to have turned into purgatory. Terrifying Fiery Demons were born from the flames. The terrifying heat made Tang Hao have difficulty breathing.
Compared to these Level-100 monsters, his strength was insignificant.
Tang Hao was shocked. He had underestimated the guardians of the catacombs. In terms of individual strength, these fellows might be stronger than top-tier servants without relics!
"Demons? That's a shame. I'm most familiar with demons." Dark Night smiled faintly and pushed Tang Hao back. "Moreover, I'm in a dominant mode now. I might have to trouble you to make way."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dark Night had already taken the initiative to attack. He directly appeared beside Dimiugos, as well as countless small silver knives. He completely sealed off Dimiugos's range of movement and stabbed into his body.
Ding! Dong!
Dong! The sound of metal colliding could be heard. Tang Hao blinked his eyes, and the battle between both parties had entered a white-hot stage. The combat power that Dark Night displayed in its dominant mode was amazing. It used all kinds of time stops smoothly. Even Dimiugos, who had transformed twice, was suppressed and had no chance to fight back.
However, Tang Hao couldn't judge who had the upper hand in the battle because Dark Night's ability was too unfriendly to the spectators. It was like watching a movie with broken frames. It was intermittent. Even Dragon Ball was smoother than this.
In front of time ability users, the flow of time did not have much meaning. After an unknown amount of time, Tang Hao suddenly felt his body lighten. It was Dark Night who had picked him up.
"Wait, this posture …"
Tang Hao was shocked. It was a princess carry!
"Cut the crap!"
Dark Night lowered his voice and rushed toward the exit that was blocked by flames without hesitation.
Tang Hao shut his mouth. Tears streamed down his cheeks. Even though he was completely useless in a battle of this level, what was a princess carry? Was he the kind of princess who needed a hero to save him?
However, Dark Night didn't think so much. She just used the fastest mode of action. When the two of them rushed to the exit, Tang Hao glanced back and saw Dimiugos running out of the flames.
Then he rushed out.
He broke through the seventh level!
"Aiya, what a troublesome kitten." At this moment, Dimiugos had already deactivated his transformation mode. He wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his thumb and smiled. "Although I knew that this level couldn't be defended, I didn't expect it to be broken through so quickly. It's just that … it's not a good thing to be too strong."
"Wah!"
Shortly after breaking through the seventh level, Dark Night, who was running, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Tang Hao quickly looked over and saw that her face was as pale as a sheet.
"Are you hurt?"
"It's not a big deal. I'm just a little exhausted." Dark Night shook her head. In order to break through as soon as possible, she chose a more aggressive fighting mode than usual. Although she successfully repelled the enemy, she also suffered some injuries.
Tang Hao immediately supported her and stuffed a few pills into her mouth.
