Chapter 368: The Facts about this Labyrinth


    The two swords just moved simply like they had no power at all in them, and the minute they crashed into the bodies of two assassins; they instantly killed them!


    I nced with shock as the two swords let me down! What was wrong with this ce!!! the next moment I retreated, while being chased with nine assassins.


    One tried to be funny as he threw his two daggers at my back, and when I heard the sound of theming at me, breaking through the air, I just ducked and did nothing more, as they both moved to the front.


    I then turned, while standing straight, pushing my body to the back, creating more critical distance between me and the iing enemies.


    "Swoosh!"


    "Swoosh!"


    I waved my two swords, like I was spreading out bed sheets, and instantly the two hit two enemies, dealing deadly blows to them.


    Another two funny idiots responded by throwing off their daggers, and I just had to push the ground hard, bending my knees, and waited as I ducked in this strange position.


    The next moment, the four daggers went by my head, just a hair breadth away from my hair. Just as they safely passed me, I jumped, bypassing the two yers in front of me, while cutting their bodies with my swords.


    I then mmed hard against one of the three idiots, inserted one sword deeply and fast into his neck, making him gush out blood like a fountain from his mouth.


    I didn''t wait for his dead body to fall on the ground, as I bent my knees, jumped high, higher than the reach of these yers'' daggers, to fall just in between the two other fools, hitting them hard with my swords, waving them backwards, inserting them in the depth of my two foolish enemies'' bellies.


    I nced, as I simply killed five out of them right now, making them lose eight yers; only five were left.


    They paused, stopped with obvious hesitation, as they nced at me. I did what they didn''t expect, turned around and ran, heading towards my dear spear!


    "Stop her, don''t let her get her spear!" one of them screamed out in panic, as he seemed to guess my true intentions. With two swords; weapons I never got used to, I managed to kill most of them. Imagine what would happen if I used my long ranged spear?


    However, no matter what they wished for, they were already far behind. They started to act foolish, throwing one dagger each at me, while keeping the other one in their hands, dreaming of slitting my throat!


    However I just changed my running direction, never stopped running forward, time running to the right, while others running to the left; running in a zigzag line until reaching finally to my spear.


    I hid one of the two swords, didn''t care which it was, as both were just pieces of useless scrapped metal for me right now. I jumped out in the air, grabbed my spear from the shaft, pulling it out of the dead yer''s body, turned around, and faced the iing enemies.


    And they instantly stopped, even two of them hit each other, sending one flying forward a couple of meters, to fall on the top of my extended spear by my outstretched hand, instantly killing him!


    My spear was sharp, prating the body of the yer. I regained myposure, while holding a spear with a body of a yer hung in it.


    "Tell me what is going on here, and I will let you all retreat and live," I said, as the most important thing now wasn''t to kill them, but to understand what was going on here.


    "Is this a word of honor?" one of them asked.


    "What do you take me for? I''m the queen of a kingdom, a runner to the throne of your empire; surely my word counts and I won''t renege on it!" I instantly replied with an angry voice that expressed my current mood perfectly.


    "Alright, it''s a deal then," that assassin said, before repeating the deal again, fearing of me returning back on my words, or finding a loop in it, "You will let us retreat safely back outside thebyrinth, in return to telling you everything about this ce, right?"


    "Everything about this ce and about the status of your yers inside," I added, as I wouldn''t let them go off this cheaply though.


    Their faces twitched, but the assassin rapidly got over it as he said:


    "Never mind, it''s a lost case for us anyway. Sigh, those higher ups are always greedy, only thinking about themselves, dragging us all into this hell of a war that we don''t believe in! I agree on your conditions."


    His words touched some strings inmy heart; it seemed not all the nobles that bad after all! I recalled Shin, Rendy, and that impulsive Alfonzo, they were all nobles, right?


    However, in such a predicament, a whole mess and chaos, I couldn''t ascertain who deserved to live and who deserved to die! I now felt more good towards letting these four leave and live; after all they weren''t my true enemies!


    "Tell me all then," I demanded.


    "This ce is cursed by the demon sleeping underneath it. thebyrinth had this special thing, that only one skill could be used, and for only one time! after it''s used, we turn into mere humans with no powers, fighting among ourselves like idiots as you saw," he said, and what he exined seemed quite logical and scary.


    I nodded for him to continue, and he added:


    "As for the inside, you are so close to the heart of thebyrinth. There are tens of thousands of yers there, however they all used their skills already, summoning yers from the stele in exchange for their contribution points. They lost all the defenses and now are just mere mortals. Only the dozen few of us were left to stop you, hoping to ambush you off guard; and to exhaust your only skill at least."


    My enemies'' numbers were huge, but I have the perfect counter to that. "What about the artifacts? They aren''t working here!" I asked, and he shook his head, indicating he knew nothing about it.


    "What are you doing inside?" I asked.


    "Isn''t it obvious?" he answered.


    "Are you so close to unlocking the seal?"


    "Yes, pretty close actually," his reply gave me a scare, however what he added made my heart quiet down for a little, "however they need at least a couple more hours to finish. If you managed to dive your way through the sea of yers inside, then you would reach them in time."


    "Thanks for the info, you can all go off now," I said, and they exchanged silent worrying nces between each other. It seemed they feared me attacking them on the back. "Just go," I said while taking away my sword and spear, making them more reassured, as they started to run.


    "Sigh," I sighed, helplessly, as war always was raged on the dead bodies of many unknown helpless people. I turned my gaze to the interior of thisbyrinth, recalling the map engraved deeply inside my mind. "Just wait, I will make sure you won''t be able to see the light of morning ever again."


    I then ventured forward, while taking back my spear and sword. I didn''t know if they were telling the truth or lying about theck of any enemy on the iing front, but I had to take my precautions after all.


    As I ventured forward, fast and with care, I tried to use my prison. When I used it outside, it didn''t work, however this didn''t stop me.


    "Let''s see what you can do to my inventory then," I smirked, and when I tested it inside my inventory and worked, Iughed out loud, like an evil maniac! I tricked the legendary scary demon, hahaha!


    I selected a ce for me to hide well, before closing my eyes and venturing into the prison. As I was using it inside my inventory, I couldn''tst there for long, already feeling the resistance to push me out the moment I entered.


    The ce was empty, however this wasn''t a problem. I instantly summoned my demon back, and then felt a great repulsion force driving me outside the moment he appeared inside the prison.


    I didn''t get the chance to speak to him, however he was there. I opened my eyes feeling much triumph and confidence, before closing them again and re-entering my prison.


    I told him, in brief, what was going to happen, and after a minute I was expelled outside again. It seemed that the arrogant demon was so pissed off at me for breaking his lovely rules, however screw him! I had tens of thousands of yers in the army to kill!


    "Let''s see how long you willst before me and my demon," I evilly sneered before I stood up, took my spear and sword, and then went towards the front, where the sounds of tens of thousands of yers were already reaching my ears.


    They were terrified, and they should be, after all death was heading to meet them face to face on my hands!
