The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1386 403: The Beginning of Chaos (Part 4)

After all, dealing with a slime monster on the mage exam paper is almost a freebie...

But now, saying anything is too late.

In an instant, the world turned into a white blur, where you couldn't even see your own hand!

The light of the Spell, the figures of companions, the walls of the maze, everything was swallowed by this sudden steam storm.

At this moment, Anjie, guilty of being caught, pretentiously shouted.

"Ah... This is bad! I remember the Monster Atlas said not to use Fire Magic—"

"Stop the damn nonsense, retreat immediately!" Her nonsense wasn't even finished before a hand reached over and pulled her away.

Lassitina withdrew swiftly with her entourage.

They were well-prepared, having released the guiding Wind Spirit in advance, and wouldn't be trapped by a mere White Mist.

Coughing, Ilana retreated while dispersing the surrounding steam, trying to regain her lost sense of direction.

However, at that moment, a furious roar suddenly came from the depths of the White Mist, the sound of the slime monster after being provoked!

Feeling the vibrations crawling along the floor, Ilana's pale face turned ashen.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die!

In panic, she forced herself to calm down, relying on her memory of the monster's position, she gathered a somewhat immature Ice Arrow at the tip of her Magic Wand and swung it fiercely through the mist ahead!

"Clang—!"

The sound of hitting a hard object pushed Ilana's mood into the abyss again.

The Ice Arrow she had thrown with all her strength did not hit the target, but ineffectively collided with the hard maze wall, shattering into ice crystals!

Oh no—

Ilana made a quick decision, hurriedly reaching for the rescue Rune, ending up empty-handed, the Rune that was tied to her waist was nowhere to be found.

At this moment, a huge shadow rapidly approached through the White Mist, the quickly slithering body of the slime monster pounced at her!

Ilana was utterly desperate.

But just when everything was about to collapse, a fierce gust suddenly surged in from the hallway!

The strong airflow, like an invisible giant hand, instantly scattered the pervasive white mist and halted the advance of the slime monster.

"Frost Impact!"

"Go! Stone Bullet! With arrow shape, shatter my enemy!"

The chant came at the same time, a fierce Frost Impact and several sharp Stone Bullet Skills screamed in, precisely hitting the chests of three slime monsters!

With a few dull explosive sounds, those three monsters that had left Ilana helpless were instantly shattered, turning into a field of shattered ice crystals!

As her vision cleared, Ilana quickly looked up ahead, only to see Ophelia standing confidently at the other end of the hallway with the panting Hard and Bain.

"Where there is light, darkness cannot hide! Ilana, I'm late, but I hope I'm not too late." This was what she read in a knight novel, she had long wanted to say it herself, but never had the chance in the Holy City.

Ilana, having survived, was both surprised and pleased. She hadn't expected her to participate in the Maze Trial or to meet her here.

"Ophelia?! What are you doing here?"

"Uh, it's a long story." Ophelia coughed lightly, wrapped her finger around a lock of hair, and awkwardly shifted her gaze, "Truth be told... I followed a particularly beautiful butterfly here."

She would never admit that she was actually tracking her and had embarrassingly lost track.

But fortunately, Saint Sis stood on the side of justice; she encountered a brightly colored butterfly during her wandering and followed it to this place.

She didn't even encounter a trap along the way.

Bain and Hard were also amazed at Miss Ophelia's luck, not having expected to reach the third layer so easily.

Perhaps those with a noble soul do have the Divine's favor at their backs.

Ilana looked at Ophelia skeptically, asking.

"Really?"

"Really!" Seeing her disbelief, Ophelia anxiously gestured with her index finger, "Such a beautiful butterfly! With seven-colored wings! Too bad these two fools behind me ran too slowly, otherwise... I would have surely caught it for you to see!"

Standing behind her, Hard and Bain exchanged glances, uncertain if they should speak, but they couldn't just stand there silently.

It's well known that slime monsters appear in groups, encountering three means possibly running into thirty or even three hundred—

Encouraged by Hard, Bain stepped forward and quietly asked Ophelia, "Miss Castellion, should we... still test the 'Explosive Flame Temperature Bomb'?"

They didn't expect to run into classmates from the Magic Science Laboratory here, seemingly disrupting their original plan due to this small incident.

Ophelia naturally wouldn't disclose her real goal of "rescuing the beauty," so she coughed again and forcibly brought the topic back.

"Of course, we'll continue... our plan! By the way, Ilana, where are your teammates? You couldn't possibly have reached here alone, right?"

Ilana looked around worriedly, saying, "The situation was too chaotic earlier, we got separated, I'm just about to go find them—"

"No need to look."

Ophelia smiled lightly, but that smile didn't reach her eyes.

Her golden pupils coldly gazed into the depths of the maze corridor, like a long spear piercing the night, shining with the light of justice.

"Ilana, my friend, you're too naive."

"Those guys did it on purpose!"
