The place Charlotte "found" was an Orc meeting hall, where the Orc officers held their meetings. It was indeed quite "clean."
The adventurers were quite satisfied with this "camp." They tidied it up a bit, clearing out a large area.
Although Lord Leo was a little wary, he just felt he was being overly suspicious. Confident in his own strength, he didn't pay it much mind, having two servants lay out a thick blanket, preparing to rest for a while and recover his energy.
His two servants faithfully guarded their master, separating Lord Leo from the group of adventurers.
No one noticed that Charlotte had disappeared.
At this moment, Charlotte had already gone deep into the Machu Picchu fortress, standing alone on a desolate road, staring at the deeper parts of the fortress.
This desolate road was the boundary of Machu Picchu's labyrinthization.
He could sense that because of Machu Picchu's labyrinthization, some things were being forced deeper into the fortress.
"Machu Picchu fortress actually has some truly eerie things!"
"I wonder if I can capture a few to enhance the labyrinth's power."
Charlotte had looked up some information at Sheffield University and consulted with some professors, piecing together a bit of the "truth."
That clash between the two Evil Gods should have resulted in both losing a portion of their power, which then fused into the diary.
If he could swallow the power contained within the Labyrinth of Agmiras and the Vampire Secret Scroll before the two Evil Gods found it, and make it his own, they would no longer be able to sense this lost Fel Energy.
Because this power would no longer belong to them.
But if Charlotte couldn't digest this portion of power within the time limit, and Agmilas and Carnstein re-sensed their lost Fel Energy, they could pinpoint the location and descend again.
Although the time limit for the Vampire Secret Scroll was tighter, Charlotte was proficient in Bloody Glory, and learning the House of Adonis Blood Kindred secret techniques from the Vampire Secret Scroll was not difficult.
The time limit for the Labyrinth of Agmiras was longer, but it wouldn't be extended at all. Once the time limit was up, Agmilas would surely return, and it would be unstoppable.
Humans couldn't resist Evil Gods!
Only Deities could fight Deities.
This was the consensus of the Old Continent.
Charlotte was more eager to figure out how to control the fifteen labyrinths.
Charlotte was cautious. He didn't step outside the labyrinth's range and didn't plan to take risks, but certain presences lurking in the shadows couldn't hold back. A low whisper suddenly sounded in his ear, like a closest lover calling him over.
This low whisper had infinite magic. Under its influence, dozens of wild beasts rushed out from their hiding places, walking with stiff steps, trudging towards the depths of Machu Picchu.
Charlotte pressed his brow, hesitating whether to activate Insight.
He wasn't sure what kind of Monster was making the low whisper, but he wasn't afraid, thinking, "I've even faced Evil Gods twice. How could mere seductive evil magic affect my mind?"
Charlotte was very sure that as long as he didn't leave the labyrinth's range, the Monster hiding in the dark couldn't do anything to him.
"Qian Nan! I'm here..."
Just as Charlotte was sitting back and watching, a lady with wavy blonde hair, while calling out softly, quickly ran into the darkness.
"Hannah?!"
"Come back quickly!"
Charlotte cried out in surprise, but it was too late.
This young lady with average looks had a good impression of him, but Charlotte had never thought about having any intimate relationship with her, after all, he was still on the run.
If the escape ended, he also had other people he was seeing.
He hadn't expected Hannah to follow him and be lured by the Monster hidden deep within Machu Picchu.
Charlotte didn't hesitate to throw out the Vampire Hand Axe. Under the control of Blood Flame Qi, the Vampire Hand Axe, which should have been nimble and free, lost its connection after flying dozens of steps, disappearing into the darkness deep within Machu Picchu, never to return.
Charlotte's heart trembled. He had transmigrated to Senis, a famous seaside resort in Fars, then returned to Strasbourg, the capital of the Empire, where countless important figures resided and was even under the gaze of Deities. He had barely encountered any Monsters or danger.
Except... for the time he participated in the auction and was dragged into the labyrinth.
And the time he summoned two Evil Gods...
Alright!
He hadn't encountered Monsters, but he had faced Evil Gods directly!
In short, Charlotte couldn't fathom how terrifying the things deep within Machu Picchu were, or what kind of eerie power they possessed.
Charlotte looked at the pitch-black, unknown ruins of the fortress and Miss Hannah, who was no longer visible, forcefully suppressing the urge to rush into the darkness to save her.
Although he was already a Fourth Order Transcendent and had two Supernatural Weapons, facing the Monster hidden deep within Machu Picchu was still not enough. Rushing in to save someone would 100% fail and put himself in danger.
Charlotte closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and circulated the Protagoras Breathing Method, forcefully suppressing the constant surge of reluctance.
The low whisper continued...
An invisible force eroded the darkness inch by inch, and the labyrinthization spread continuously.
After several dozen minutes, Charlotte's spirit slightly vibrated. He let out a shout, and a small Vampire Hand Axe flew up gracefully, returning to his hand.
At the same time, Charlotte also saw Hannah, who had turned into a pile of dry bones, as if she had been weathered for hundreds of years!
This poor female adventurer had been devoured of all her life force by the Monster hidden in the dark. On her face, which was wrinkled like old tree bark, there was still a slight sense of happiness, which was both eerie and terrifying.
Near Hannah's corpse were dozens of animals that had died equally strangely, turned into dry bones.
Charlotte reached out and pressed down, and countless clods of earth turned over, burying Hannah and the animal corpses. Within the Labyrinth's range, he could slightly manipulate the terrain, change paths, and even subtly twist space.
This wasn't power that ordinary Transcendent could wield.
This was an eerie ability lost by the Evil God from overseas, the God of Labyrinths, Agmilas.
After finishing this, Charlotte turned around and walked away without looking back. Although he had no deep feelings or close relationship with Hannah, he was still filled with anger, secretly vowing in his heart: "No matter what kind of monstrous thing you are! In eighteen days, I will find you, expose you to the sun, and watch you turn to ash."
"No! Fifteen days might be enough."
The moment Charlotte turned, the whispering also stopped.
Over a dozen vines rustled forward, crossing a boundary and entering a desolate path. These seemingly living demonic vines appeared to be pulled by a mysterious force, suddenly snapping taut, even emitting eerie screeching sounds, yet they couldn't stop, continuing until even their root hairs were pulled out, and the entire length disappeared into the Labyrinth's domain.
