Chapter 290, The Heroic Hunt for Herrscher of the Thousand in the Flame Chasers Tournament! (Please Subscribe)

"Welcome to the Dominion Maze!"

"Dear viewers, please don't hesitate to give your exclamations and applause."

"What appears before you now is the most dangerous, sturdy, and fascinating maze in history, built by the greatest magician of this century Vill-V, over three full days!"

Vill-V's voice came through the radio.

The first reaction of the Herrscher of the Thousand was to try to destroy it.

However, when their attacks landed on the broadcast, the Herrscher of the Thousand were astonished to find that they had absolutely no effect.

"How... how is this possible?!"

The Herrscher of the Thousand all broke down.

Even if they are Herrscher with very weak output capabilities, they are still Herrscher without a doubt. How could they not even be able to destroy a mere broadcast?

"Hmph! Useless, useless~ The Dominion Maze forbids any act of destruction against the labyrinth itself. Although, in the end, this super-sturdy labyrinth, which is entirely made of Soul Steel, is not something that you Herrscher of the Thousand with individual strength of less than 1000 HW can destroy."

Vill-V's smug voice continued to ring out.

The super labyrinth was made entirely of Soul Steel. This building made Mobius sigh with envy and jealousy. After all, it was just too, too luxurious!

"Next, I will introduce you to the game rules for Dominion Maze! The 779 Herrscher of the Thousand have now been assigned to various corners of the labyrinth."

"Unable to take off, unable to burrow underground, unable to break through walls!"

"Your target, Bai Ge, is located in the very center of the maze. Try to find him."

"However, it should be noted that our hunters are also prepared. They have already entered the maze. If we accidentally encounter them... I probably don't need to say more."

Vill-V's excited voice echoed throughout the maze.

At this very moment, Elysia, Sakura, Hua, Mobius, Kevin, Kalpas, Kosma, and Su were also in the Dominion Maze, and the Flame-Chasers were eager to try their luck.

They can't wait to have a surprising and exciting encounter with the Herrscher of the Thousand!

On the other hand, the Herrscher of the Thousand were sweating profusely, but some of them still mustered their strength and spoke up.

"No, it's okay. I know about mazes. As long as you start by touching one wall with one hand and never take your hand off the wall, you'll eventually find the exit!"

"Oh? This Herrscher of the Thousand seems quite knowledgeable. But unfortunately, I am the great inventor of the Savior, the greatest magician of this century. How could I possibly create such an 'ordinary' creation?"

Then, Vill-V raised her hand and waved it.

"Dominion Maze means it can constantly transform and reassemble!"

The next second, the Herrscher of the Thousand stared blankly at the walls around them, which began to deform and reconstruct as if they were alive. Before they could react, the two paths that had been there just moments before in the first 390 square meters had now become three...

"So, what's the exit from this maze...?"

"Exit? There's no such thing as an exit~ This is a maze without an exit."

"!!!"

"Enjoy it to the fullest! You will be running endlessly through this Dominion Maze until the last one of you falls!"

Vill-V uttered words that chilled the hearts of all the Herrscher of the Thousand. After all, what could be more despairing than an inescapable labyrinth where death could come at any moment?

The Herrscher of the Thousand attacked the Soul Steel labyrinth walls with all their might, while those with the ability to fly tried to smash through the Sky Barrier, but their pitiful Honkai Energy was useless.

After all, even the most basic Soul Steel material requires at least 3000 HW of Honkai Energy to destroy.

And at that very moment...

"Found you, Herrscher!"

"Eeeeeee—!" x5

The five Herrscher of the Thousand, unfortunately encountered the most ferocious hunter in the labyrinth right from the start.

Suddenly, a Mad King wearing a Kamen Rider mask and engulfed in red flames appeared from around the corner, giving the five Herrscher of the Thousand a truly terrifying surprise.

"This is not a battle, but a hunt! Now, Herrscher, do your best to run! Hahahaha—!!" (See image)

The scorching flames of the Kalpas melted the Soul Steel wall that even the Herrscher of the Thousand couldn't destroy with all their might.

Four of the Herrscher of the Thousand turned tail and ran without hesitation, but one stubborn guy, whose ability was to generate ice, actually charged towards Kalpas.

Kalpas was also pleasantly surprised to see that this Herrscher of the Thousand not only did not run away, but even dared to fight back against him.

He easily melted the fragile ice, and then his fiery hand gripped the neck of the Herrscher of the Thousand.

"Is that all you've got? You think you can assassinate Bai Ge with this insect-like strength? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! Come on! Now I'll give you a chance, show me your last-ditch struggle!"

"You, you mustn't do anything reckless! I, I'm Herrscher, I'm super fierce!" ε(┬┬┬┬)3

"Herrscher? I am facing Herrscher, but you (bhfb) are facing Kalpas!! I am the approaching Death! I am the End! Hahahahahaha—!!"

Kalpas laughed loudly while causing destruction.

The Herrscher of the Thousand in his hand had been burned to ashes by the Mad King's flames. Then, Kalpas turned his gaze to the enemy who was fleeing in a sorry state in front of him, and the corners of his lips behind the mask turned up high.

"Run, run! Herrscher of the Thousand, but all your destinations will be reduced to ashes!!"

At this moment, in the small villa in the center of the maze.

Bai Ge was sitting on the sofa with Vill-V and Mei, watching the live broadcast. All three of them were holding a bucket of popcorn and eating it happily, one bite after another.

"Oh? Kalpas was the first to get a kill."

"He seems to be having a lot of fun."

"That's normal. After all, Dominion Maze is the perfect hunting ground he's always dreamed of."

Bai Ge looked at the 65-inch super-large screen and said.

The thrill of discovering prey.

The excitement of chasing prey.

The ultimate pleasure of crushing it!

This venue is just right for Kalpas's taste; he's having a blast right now.

However, at the same time, other Flame-Chasers also started their operations one after another. The moment they encountered the Herrscher of the Thousand, the latter's fate was sealed: death.

Because this is neither a war nor a punitive expedition.

It was simply a hunt, a game!

After all, if the goal was simply to quickly annihilate these Herrscher of the Thousand, Bai Ge could have let Vill-V choose a more efficient method.

For example, place a super nuclear bomb on this island, and detonate it remotely when Herrscher of the Thousand get close enough, blasting them and the island into the sky.

Bai Ge can simply observe from afar and then ask the classic question, "Why can the island fly?"

The main reason they didn't do that was that by the time they discovered it, Vill-V had already completed most of the construction of the Dominion Maze, and demolishing it all would have been a waste of time and materials.

But the main reason is that Bai Ge wants to play!

Bai Ge: "I've been fighting for so long, can't I enjoy myself and have some fun?"

Moreover, it wasn't just Bai Ge who wanted to play; everyone was happy to participate after learning about the design!

A dungeon hunting game targeting Herrscher? Just hearing about it makes my hands itch! Herrscher have always been the ones bringing fear to humanity. Now that there's a chance for these guys to experience what despair is, who wouldn't want that?

"Oh? Everyone's smiling."

"That's normal. After all, we finally got a kill on Herrscher. Even if they're weak, Herrscher of the Thousand is still Herrscher."

Bai Ge picked up his sugary drink and took a big gulp, even though Eden's collection of fine wines was also in front of him.

But at this moment, soda definitely feels better!

"Huh? Sue and Kevin actually ran into each other? Hiss! They're actually starting to steal kills?!"

Bai Ge was very surprised and immediately zoomed in on the image.

Kevin and Sue, the two good brothers, were chasing three Herrscher of the Thousand in the maze. Then, at a corner, they met Ai, and the two groups came together.

The moment they saw each other...

"Ice, break!"

"Kevin, you bastard!!"

Su was a second too slow, so he could only watch helplessly as the white-haired husky unleashed ice that froze the six Herrscher of the Thousand, eventually shattering the ice into dust.

Only six small Herrscher Gem remained in place.

"%¥#@!%¥"

Even with Su's good manners, she felt an urge to teach Kevin, that bastard who stole her kills, a lesson.

Just like how Bai was so amazing that Kevin didn't become a fanatic like in the original story and remained a sunny and cheerful boy, Su's personality didn't turn into the squinty-eyed, Buddhist-like riddle-solving person in the Elysian Realm, but rather into someone who really enjoys having fun.

After all, the guy who can be Kevin's brother isn't exactly a saint either...

"Haha! Sorry, Su, I accidentally took them all out. How about we team up? You scout and I'll take care of the kills? That'll definitely be more efficient!"
