Chapter 710 Sixth Floor Underground

Just as Chilchak guessed, Itsuzumi did indeed overhear the conversation between Laos and Kikuro, and learned that Malucel mastered ancient magic. She thought that she might be able to remove the black magic from her body, so she chose to follow them and was accidentally brought into the Golden Country.

However, the answer to this question is already obvious.

Malucier explained again:

"Ancient magic also has various types. My research direction is the magic of absorbing energy from infinite different planes, and the magic of controlling souls is used to create artificial orcs, so I can't help you."

"And in terms of the soul, there are still many issues that have not been studied clearly..."

"Just say you can't do it."

Itsuzumi's ears drooped unconsciously. The hope that had just lit up was quickly extinguished, making her feel a little irritated.

But fortunately, that shameful memory was not completely useless. At least based on the conversation she heard in her memory, she found a new target——

Winged Lion.

According to Yaad's description, the other party also seemed to possess great power, and perhaps it had the ability to solve her problems.

However, before that...

However, just as Itsuzumi was thinking about something, a circle of spells on her neck suddenly began to flow, gradually gathering above her head, forming a shikigami wearing a terrifying Prajna mask and holding a sharp kitchen knife, holding the knife high and slashing at her!

"careful!"

Looking at the unaware Itsuzumi, Mashu stepped suddenly, creating a shallow pit on the ground, and almost instantly rushed to Itsuzumi's side. Before the Shikigami's attack fell, the huge shield hit it first, blasting the Shikigami away instantly!

"Ms. Izumi, are you okay?"

"Ah, um..."

Itsuzumi replied in a daze, feeling a little bit unbelievable when she saw Mashu appear beside her almost instantly and the ridiculously large shield in her hand.

Holding such a big shield and being able to have such a speed...isn't this too exaggerated?

She knew that the other team had a powerful guy like Fujimaru Ritsuka, but she didn't expect that in addition to Fujimaru Ritsuka, there was actually a hidden humanoid monster!

Fortunately, she didn't do it directly...

Itsuzumi thought with fear and for the first time she understood why Maizuru always told her to be cautious. It turned out that it was really so important.

On the other side, under Mashu's powerful shield attack, the shikigami's entire body collapsed, and the blade of the kitchen knife in his hand broke into pieces. But even so, the opponent still did not stop his action, and soon flew back relentlessly, continuing to attack Itsuzumi.

"boom!"

Marlucil raised her staff and aimed at the opponent, and with one blast, she easily blew the shikigami's head into pieces, and the rest of the body quickly caught fire and eventually disappeared.

Seeing the threat disappear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Falin asked curiously:

"What was that just now?"

"It looks like some kind of spell."

As Malucier spoke, she looked towards Itsuzumi, hoping to get an explanation from her.

Izujinmei stroked her neck and said indifferently:

"As you said, it is a curse magic that will automatically activate if the caster does not touch it for a period of time."

"It should be Miss Maizuru's magic."

Malucier suddenly realized and recalled the situation at that time. No wonder Julang and the others didn't care too much about the other party's defection. It turned out that they had a plan in place.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Itsuzumi:

"What are you going to do next?"

"Close... um..."

Izumi raised her eyebrows slightly and subconsciously wanted to say something, but thinking of the other party's terrifying power, she finally overcame her previous bad habits and answered honestly:

"I'm going to find the winged lion. From what that little fellow said, it's so powerful. Maybe it can find a way to remove the curse on me."

Searching for the Winged Lion...

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then Laos couldn't help but speak:

"Since we have the same goal, how about joining our team?"

At the same time, he turned to explain to his companions: "In fact, I have always wanted to recruit a dog-headed man as a teammate. Dog-headed men have a strong sense of smell and can often detect the presence of enemies in advance through smell, which is very helpful for exploring the maze."

"Although the other party is not a kobold, I think the cat-man's sense of smell should be similar."

"That's true..."

Chilchak nodded in agreement.

Although their team is not afraid of fighting now, detecting the enemy in advance can avoid useless battles as much as possible, save time and energy, and speed up their exploration. On this point, he does not object to Laos's proposal.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and others had similar ideas.

"to join you guys?"

On the other side, Izuzumi couldn't help but be stunned.

Even when she was in the Hanben family, she preferred to act alone, so she had never considered this option, but after thinking about it carefully, she unexpectedly felt that it might be feasible.

At least she was completely convinced by the powerful strength that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu possessed.

"Okay."

After nodding in silence, she warned:

"But let me be clear in advance. We are just partners. Don't try to force me to do anything!"

……

...

Itsuzumi successfully joined the team, but without any initiation ceremony, everyone just continued to explore the maze.

The sixth underground floor is an underground waterway expanded from the tunnels dug by the ancient dwarves. It is long and intricate, laid under the city like blood vessels. It was here that Laos's team encountered the fire dragon and was wiped out.

However, looking at the thick snow on the road in front of her and the snowflakes coming from nowhere, Malucier hesitated and said:

"Did we go the wrong way?"

Falin shook her head and said:

"I don't think so. I remember this road. We must have passed by here during our last exploration."

Chilchak was shivering with cold and said:

"Since the paths and walls of the maze can be changed, it's not surprising that the environment can change."

"Change the weather..."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but have an idea, and suddenly stretched out his hands and clapped.

The next moment, the falling snowflakes suddenly stopped in mid-air, and it seemed as if time had stopped!

"Hey, what happened?!"

Malucier opened her eyes wide, looking at the strange scene in front of her in surprise. At this time, she only heard Fujimaru Ritsuka sigh:

"As expected, it won't work."

At the top of the passage, snowflakes were still being generated continuously. After all, the snow was just an effect created by magic, so she couldn't really change the weather. She could only use her ability to control the snowflakes.

However, after hearing what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, Marusil was a little surprised:

"Did you do this?"

"Well, I just wanted to give it a try."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and removed his ability, then asked:

"What should we do next?"

Although he was somewhat concerned about what happened just now, when he heard the question, Chilchak still considered it and said:

"By the way, do you want to go check out the place where we were killed before? If the luggage wasn't swallowed up by the maze, maybe we can still retrieve it."

"of course."

Laos nodded quickly and said:

"And if nothing unexpected happens, the entrance to the seventh underground floor should be right over there."
