The two monsters gave Yagami and Masaru no respite the moment they slammed into the wall and were wounded.
Before the two could even raise their guards, the monsters drove their claws into Yagami and Masaru's stomachs with savage speed.
"Arghhh!"
Yagami and Masaru vomited blood.
The monsters' claws had sunk deep into their stomachs.
With brutal force, the monsters dragged their bodies up the wall and then hurled both upward.
In that same instant, with a powerful leap—so intense that the stone pavement beneath them shattered—they jumped after them.
Masaru was on the verge of losing consciousness.
Yagami tried to block the blow, but—
Hikaru and Tsuya struck simultaneously, a strange aura surging around their fists.
The punches hit Yagami.
His bones shattered, and his body slammed into the ceiling with tremendous force.
Masaru was not spared either; his ribcage collapsed.
Both fell back toward the ground, eyes rolled white and mouths agape.
But before they reached it—
The monsters, with deadly speed, targeted Yagami and Masaru's stomachs with two spinning fists and slammed them into the ground with terrifying pressure.
The impact was so heavy that the labyrinth walls shook and cracked.
The unidentified person entered the labyrinth...
Daigon, who had been unconscious, gradually came to. He sat up, placed a hand on his head, and groaned:
"Ughhh... my head... for a moment, I thought it was an earthquake."
He looked around dazedly. No one was there. He stood up in surprise and took the left corridor.
As he walked, he began casting healing magic on himself.
He was moving when he heard a faint sound from ahead... a sound like laughter.
He slowed his steps and proceeded. But suddenly, a voice came from behind him:
"Hey, youuu!"
Daigon spun around in terror. Behind him stood a figure in a black cloak and hood, holding a bloodstained sword.
Fear gripped Daigon's entire being. He quickly drew his crossbow and shouted:
"What do you want?!"
The cloaked figure asked in a calm but serious voice:
"Where is Yagami?"
Daigon gripped his crossbow tighter. He frowned and said:
"What do you want with him?"
The figure repeated, this time with a sharper and colder tone:
"Answer my question... I said, where is Yagami?"
Daigon exhaled angrily. He raised his crossbow, closed his eyes, and murmured:
"Holy Arrow... high level!"
The arrow was launched at unimaginable speed; a powerful wave surged through the air as it was released.
The arrow heading toward the cloaked figure was so fast it was barely visible... but just as it reached him, the unidentified man, without using any magic or armor, caught the arrow with his bare hand!
Daigon's eyes widened in shock and horror, freezing him in place. But to hide his fear, he forced a fake smile and said:
"Maybe you caught that one... but the next won't be so easy!"
The cloaked figure said calmly, seriously, and emotionlessly:
"I have no time to waste."
He then raised and drew back his bloodstained sword, standing in an attack stance, tensing the muscles in his legs.
Daigon, panting, drew his bowstring and shouted:
"Thousand Holy Arrows!"
Thousands of arrows fired in rapid succession from Daigon's magical crossbow, but...
The unidentified man charged toward Daigon at insane speed!
While moving, with precision and skill, he deflected every arrow one by one with his sword.
Daigon, terrified, took a step back and said in a trembling voice:
"This is impossible... no, no, I have to escape, faster!"
He started running. Suddenly, daylight caught his eye from a hole in the labyrinth wall.
With his last hope, he ran toward that hole.
But just as he was a few steps from the wall, a "Shhhkkk" sound echoed...
And Daigon collapsed lifeless to the ground, mouth full of blood.
When Daigon fell, the cloaked figure sheathed his sword and glanced at the hole.
The hole drew his attention. He stepped forward and passed through it. Suddenly, a powerful pressure struck him like a hammer. His eyes grew more serious.
A strange joy appeared on his face, and he said: "Finally, I found you... one-eyed god."
