"No, I\'m not scared, Master John. I just wanted to tell you, I think I can sense my kin. They\'re not far ahead."

Following the direction Elowen pointed, and confirming it aligned with the faint glimmer he\'d noticed earlier, John exhaled deeply, retrieving the [Firewalker Dagger].

He also took out several giant carnivorous plant seeds, clutching them in his palm, ready to act at any moment.

With this thought, Exiled Immortal and the others continued to advance.

The deeper they went, the thicker and sweeter the metallic scent in the air became.

"Such a heavy stench of blood..."

Elowen pinched his nose; to him, the bloody smell was like a deadly poison, unbearably foul.

"Watch out!"

At that moment, Exiled Immortal suddenly shouted, his fingers forming a sword gesture.

He directed his flying sword forward like a shooting star.

In the next second, the sound of metal clashing echoed as Exiled Immortal\'s flying sword was easily deflected, falling to the ground.

"John!"

"Got it!"

Understanding immediately, John pulled the pin on a flare and hurled it into the distance.

The dazzling light instantly illuminated the surroundings, allowing John to finally see the scene ahead.

There stood a player clad in heavy armor, with only a pair of blood-red eyes exposed. Most likely, a knight class!

"It\'s... it\'s Lyra!"

Unlike John, Elowen\'s attention was entirely on the figures sprawled on the ground.

Noticing the four-leaf clover pendant on the chest of one headless corpse, Elowen\'s face turned deathly pale. Ignoring the danger, he rushed forward!

Seeing this, John couldn\'t even stop him and could only signal Exiled Immortal to cover Elowen.

Strangely, as John and the others approached, the armored figure chose to stop fighting, sheathing the giant sword before turning to flee into the darkness.

With the flare burning out, the labyrinth returned to darkness, illuminated only by the faint glow of metal and fireflies.

"Lyra, is it you, Lyra!"

Elowen knelt on the ground, cradling the headless corpse, gripping the four-leaf clover necklace tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

There was no mistake, absolutely no mistake.

Because he had heard that four-leaf clovers bring good luck, Elowen spent a long time searching in the dense forest until he finally found one. After preserving it in a special way, he made it into a necklace and gave it to the girl he loved the most.

Elowen vividly remembered the deep affection in Lyra\'s eyes when she received the necklace.

They were supposed to be an enviable couple.

Elowen had even planned to request a soul-binding ceremony from Her Majesty the Queen for himself and Lyra after some time.

But he had never imagined that their reunion would be in such a manner.

Tears of regret streamed down Elowen\'s face. He hated himself more and more.

Why had he agreed to Lyra\'s request to join the scout team?

It was his indirect decision that led to Lyra\'s death!

Listening to Elowen\'s heart-wrenching cries, John\'s lips quivered.

He wanted to say something but didn\'t know how, so he just patted Elowen on the shoulder.

"My condolences."

"We can almost be certain that the ones who killed Lyra and the elf scout team were humans."

John understood the unsaid part of Exiled Immortal\'s statement.

The ones who killed them were not just humans but also a player.

"Master John, Master Exiled Immortal... I, Elowen Viss, swear by my life! If you two are willing to help me bring the murderer to justice, I will serve you both for the rest of my life!"

"There\'s no need for such heavy words. Even if you didn\'t ask, we wouldn\'t stand by and do nothing."

John sighed softly, somewhat understanding Elowen\'s feelings at that moment.

"Are you in any condition to continue? I think you should take your kin\'s bodies back to your haven. As for the murderer, we will help you avenge them."

"I cannot agree to that."

Elowen sniffled, cradling Lyra\'s body as he struggled to stand, a determined look in his eyes.

"I must avenge Lyra myself, even if it costs me my life!"

At this, John and Exiled Immortal exchanged a glance. From Elowen\'s words, it was clear he was resolute, so they let him be.

Elsewhere in the labyrinth, Lawrence removed his helmet, a shadow crossing his eyes.

"John, oh John, I never imagined I\'d encounter you in a place like this. If it weren\'t for you, I wouldn\'t be in this situation now."

Hiding every day, never seeing the light, confined to this labyrinth.

"This time, I will make you pay!"

...

"Elowen, are you sure you want to carry their bodies? I mean, I\'m just worried that if we get into a fight, we might not be able to protect them."

"I want to take them home. I can\'t let their bodies rest forever in this labyrinth. Master John, don\'t worry, I will take care of myself and them."

"Very well, be careful. The smell of blood might attract many monsters."

To the monsters living in the labyrinth, the scent of fresh blood is the best bait, adding unnecessary trouble for John and his group.

They had barely walked a kilometer when they encountered dozens of carrion worms.

Although these creatures posed no real threat, Exiled Immortal could easily dispatch them with a single sword strike.

But their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

"This should be the right direction, but I can\'t shake this feeling of unease. What is going on?"

John frowned, staring intently at the shadows ahead.

The tunnel before them seemed like a gaping maw, ready to unleash a bloodthirsty monster at any moment.

"Uh... a friendly warning, you all should be careful. It looks like a wave of monsters is heading your way."

The woman\'s timely warning rang in John\'s ears.

Without a moment\'s hesitation, he immediately alerted Exiled Immortal.

"Something\'s coming!"

"Wha..."

Before Exiled Immortal could finish his sentence, a sharp screech exploded in front of him.

By the time he realized what was happening, a bat with blood-red eyes had already charged at him!

"Sword Dance!"

Instinctively, Exiled Immortal attempted to use a class skill he had learned after his second class change.

But the screech echoed again, forcibly interrupting his casting!

"It\'s a sonic bat! Exiled Immortal, don\'t use skills, fall back quickly!"

His casting interrupted, Exiled Immortal was momentarily disoriented.

In that brief moment of distraction, the bat sank its teeth into his wrist.

In an instant, the poisoned status refreshed on the status bar. John hurriedly took out a flare, pulled the pin, and hurled it at the sonic bat. The intense light barely managed to drive it away!

"Antidote!"

"No good, there\'s a paralysis effect. I can\'t move!"

Exiled Immortal gritted his teeth, watching helplessly as his HP continued to drop.

At the crucial moment, John took out an antidote and tossed it to Elowen, who immediately understood, rushing forward to pour the antidote into Exiled Immortal\'s mouth.

Once the negative status was removed, Exiled Immortal quickly regained his composure, using the green wind to form a barrier in front of him, keeping the sonic bat at bay.

However, the overwhelming number of monsters made it impossible for John and the others to advance!

If they were outside the labyrinth, this level of monsters wouldn\'t pose any threat to John and Exiled Immortal at all.

But within the narrow confines of the labyrinth, they couldn\'t utilize their full strength.

Despite racking his brains, John couldn\'t think of any alchemy that could help.

Fortunately, she was still there!

"How foolish. To deal with such a weak swarm of monsters, just use incendiary bombs and it\'s easily resolved."

"Incendiary bombs? Is that alchemy?"

"Of course! I distinctly remember teaching you this. You couldn\'t think of it yourself? I told you, your comprehension is average. Admit it now, don\'t you?"

With the woman\'s reminder, John suddenly realized and shouted, "Exiled Immortal! Buy me five minutes!"

"You better hurry, John. It\'s not just sonic bats, there seem to be other monsters coming our way too!"
