"Miss Alyssa, although you are from a noble family, based on your behavior along the way, I can feel that you are a rare true knight who always upholds the principles of justice in your heart!"
Staring at the somewhat shaken girl knight, Mondolo slowly stood up from the stone pillar with a sincere expression.
"Then, I wonder if you are willing to put aside your noble status for a while and see the other side of this empire with your own eyes?"
"I...I don't know...but you have no chance of winning. You...you don't understand how powerful the empire is!"
The girl knight's heart was already a little confused at this time. Although she knew that the few in front of her were 'dangerous' resistance elements, after listening to Mondolo's words, her original concept suddenly began to waver.
Not fearing the powerful and protecting the weak, this is the path of justice that Alyssa has always followed. But at this moment, this conflicts with her identity.
"On the contrary, Miss Alyssa, we know exactly what we are facing. The empire is indeed very powerful, but it is not as invincible as imagined."
Mentioning this, Mondolo waved his hand gently.
"Those decadent nobles have long hollowed out the foundation of this empire. Like a disease-ridden, aging giant, his appearance of might and strength is nothing more than a layer of fog covering his eyes."
"I have seen descendants of minor nobles using their power to seize the treasures and lovers of civilian professionals, and I have also seen city guards pretending to be robbers and robbing merchants and travelers.
We even saw border guards secretly reselling city defense supplies on the black market. However, the empire’s top brass never paid attention to what was happening at the bottom.”
"I understand, you may want to say that facing a ninth-level powerhouse, no matter how many low-level professionals it is, it will be useless."
Saying that, Mondolo suddenly blinked.
"However, since we dare to stand up, we naturally have ways to deal with high-level professionals. As for the specific details, it is inconvenient to disclose them."
"I understand that the enemy we face is very powerful, powerful enough to easily destroy our resistance. But Miss Alyssa, in the spirit of chivalry you follow, do you have to retreat when you encounter a difficult and powerful enemy?
?
Faced with the bumps and thorns on the road ahead, some people always have to stand up, pave the way for those who come after, and leave a spark.
Even if we do fail in the end, those who come after us can learn from our failure and move forward on the right path!"
"But……"
His words made Alyssa even more shaken.
But at this time, there was suddenly a violent running sound at the main entrance of the cave, as well as some strange noise like a giant soft-bodied creature crawling.
"Help! Is anyone here?! Help!"
After a moment, a panicked figure of Pez, running alone, appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The aura effect of some low-level wind spell wrapped around his body, increasing his running speed.
In the cave behind him, a wall of black and green flesh with a huge sticky swollen surface and a surface similar to grease and metallic luster followed closely behind, blocking the entire passage tightly.
Seeing the four people still staying in the cave, a strong desire for survival suddenly rose in Pez's eyes.
"Help me! It's coming!"
Shouting to the four people in horror, Pez suddenly stumbled under his feet and almost fell. His speed inevitably slowed down for a moment, which suddenly shortened the distance between him and the wall of flesh behind him.
At the same time, a long tentacle suddenly stretched out from the wall of flesh and quickly wrapped around Pez.
"Pez?! What is that? Where's Ax?"
Seeing this thrilling scene, the four of them were startled and immediately terminated the previous conversation. Alyssa and Mondolo worked together and used field magic to pull him to the side of everyone, temporarily away from the wall of flesh behind them.
"I don't know! It just appeared! Ax, he, he was in that! He was swallowed up by it!!"
After being rescued, Pez pointed his finger at the wall of flesh behind him, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
After pouring into the hall, the progress of the 'wall of flesh' also slowed down slightly. The material that made up its body spread out and poured into the cave hall like a wave of black-green mud.
Sliding sideways.
Everyone could clearly see that it was actually something like a giant amoeba. It was just because the passage was too narrow compared to its size that it took on a shape like a wall of flesh.
Alyssa tried to mobilize the power of her bloodline and sent a huge half-moon slash burning with golden-red flames at it.
But this magical slash, whose power was close to the peak of the third level, only punctured a bubble on its body, and then disappeared into its body silently, unable to even delay it.
And judging from the bubbling that keeps popping up on its body, I'm afraid it's not considered an injury at all.
Seeing this result, everyone ran away.
The only entrance to the cave has been blocked by the 'Amoeba', and the only way to escape is through the black stone door that they have been unwilling to explore before.
But now, they have no choice.
They quickly rushed into the gate one after another, and all five people used the escape method of pressing under the box. At this time, you can see the overall strength of everyone.
Alyssa was undoubtedly the one at the front, while Roach's speed was actually comparable to Mondolo's, Matt was slightly slower than them, and Pez was still at the end.
Seeing that the distance between himself and the people in front of him was gradually increasing, especially Roach, whom he had previously looked down upon, and now his speed was equal to that of the captain, Pez couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in his eyes.
How could a new student of less than level 3 run faster than me? He must have used some high-level magic equipment!
And he is stronger than that lucky guy in both talent and strength, but because his equipment is not as good as his, he has to support him?
Thinking of this, Pez's eyes couldn't help but darken.
During the previous escape process, he actually escaped with Akers, but Akers accidentally tripped at the corner and was unfortunately caught up by the monster.
And he remembered clearly that the moment Ax was swallowed up, the monster behind would pause for a brief moment.
At this time, as everyone was running at full speed, the gate at the other end of the corridor was vaguely visible in the distance.
At this time, Anvis and others inside the door also discovered abnormal noises in the passage.
"Those are the people just now, and there is some kind of strange creature that fills the entire passage chasing behind them!"
Seeing the scene in the corridor, Anwes couldn't help but feel his heart sink. The thing chasing behind everyone reminded him instinctively of the giant amoeba he had seen in historical images.
Even the high elves' purifying light couldn't kill that thing at once.
"No! The space here is blocked, and there is no other exit from this hall. If it comes here, we can't escape!"
Also aware of the critical situation, Claire's eyes turned sharply and quickly focused on the two doors at the door.
"This gate looks pretty strong and should be able to buy us some time. Anvis, can your scepter control the closing of the gate?"
"Let me try!"
Without further ado, Anvis took out the scepter again and concentrated on closing the door.
This method was indeed effective. Following his thoughts, the two doors immediately began to close slowly, leaving only a gap big enough for a single person to pass through, so that everyone could escape through the door and close the door as quickly as possible.
Seeing Anvis controlling the door at the door, everyone in the corridor thought for a moment and understood his intention. They couldn't help but suddenly speed up again, preparing to rush through this distance as quickly as possible.
But as the crowd exploded, Pez was suddenly dropped by the crowd again, and was about to be caught up by the wall of flesh behind him.
Seeing the changes in the door in the distance, he was worried that he would be abandoned as an outcast. While Pez was anxious, he no longer hesitated and directly pointed a ring in his left hand at Roach's back.
