Have you finished memorizing?
"Hmm... it'll be soon."
"Have you finished memorizing it yet?"
[ Aluode ] looked at the two recorders like a kestrel descending from the sky staring at two quails with their necks tucked in:
"What the hell is this that's written so slowly?"
Perhaps still not out of the interrogation mindset, his tone still carried a hint of sternness:
"Let me see it!"
"No, you, you can't..."
One recorder reached out to grab his notebook, but was interrupted by another recorder.
"Are you out of your mind?"
He whispered a reminder, glancing at Suolaer Aoermo, who was foaming at the mouth like a dead fish, before continuing to cosplay as a quail with his companions.
Although I was greatly disappointed by their courage, at least their professional skills were passable.
[ Aluode ] photographed and translated the two's notes, then sent them directly to [ Ginseng Rooster ], who was far away on the battlefield between the Empire and the Alliance, thus completing the task his friend had given him.
"Is my presence still needed here?"
After doing all this, [ Aluode ] looked at the two recorders and asked.
"No... it's not necessary. We'll handle everything else."
"Then I'll be going now."
[ Aluode ] jumped off the table with a roguish air and strode away from the Great Labyrinth City Dungeon with an air of arrogance.
The two recorders trembled for a moment, then suddenly realized something—
"No, Soul Returner, your sprouting seed is still in Suolaer's head!"
After much trouble, the two unfortunate recorders finally handed over their notes to the warden, who was taking a nap in his office.
After reviewing the two records several times, even the warden, who was just entering old age, couldn't help but feel a dryness in his throat:
"This is truly a shocking case..."
He recalled the violent commotion in the central area of Great Labyrinth City since nightfall, and the handwritten order he had received from the Grand Foundry Master. At that moment, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Warden, what do we need to do now?"
The recorder, who was standing to the side waiting for instructions, asked.
"Interrogate them through the night, and I need a list before dawn!"
The Great Labyrinth City, the ruins of the banquet hall.
In less than five minutes, the battle reduced at least twenty crisscrossing streets and nearly fifty blocks of varying sizes to ruins.
Not only residential buildings, roads, and public facilities, but also underground passages and mechanical transmission structures were all pulverized into fine powder by the unparalleled force.
Fortunately, it didn't rain today, otherwise the central area of Great Labyrinth City would probably have become a terrifying swamp made of metallic goo.
The senator from the Skeleton Alliance, [ Giant Arms ], is now truly "giant" --
Under the Psionic Energy Manifestation, he completely transformed into a semi-transparent four-armed giant. Each swing of his arms resembled a meteorite falling to earth, making one marvel at the power of amplifying pure physical attacks to the extreme.
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of Balund's magic circle and Aiboke's numerous head-on attacks, some of the damage caused by the [ Giant Arms ] was mitigated.
In addition, the Great Labyrinth City's metal-based structure made its defenses far superior to any other city of its time, and most importantly:
The Machine Spirit of the Great Labyrinth City are constantly adjusting the city's internal structure in secret, swapping many damaged parts with those that are still intact, so that the damage caused by the weakened [ Giant Arms ] is evenly distributed to every corner of the city.
The advantage of this is that it turns the Great Labyrinth City into an impregnable fortress that even the [ Giant Arms ] cannot physically breach. However, the disadvantage is that once the total damage exceeds a certain threshold, the Great Labyrinth City, this metal city, will instantly crumble.
This is a classic halftime break:
Balund stood in mid-air, countless magic arrays around him poised to be unleashed. Aiboke was automatically repairing the cracks and damage to his armor, while the surrounding ground and buildings moved slowly under the control of the Great Labyrinth City.
As for [ Giant Arms ], he was surrounded by three powerful figures and was... "breathing to recover his health".
Skeletons cannot breathe, of course, but as skilled users of Psionic Energy, they can strengthen and repair themselves by Drain Psionic Energy, which is why they grew larger and larger in previous battles.
Balund and Aiboke, as guardians, had an absolute bottom line of not being able to lose. Coupled with the protection and assistance of the Great Labyrinth City, the two were filled with an aura of becoming more and more courageous in battle.
However, the opposing [ Giant Arms ] is different:
Despite his formidable strength, even this High Tier expert eventually reached his limit when facing three such troublesome enemies.
Battles between High Tier are never as simple as addition and subtraction. Regardless of the fact that Aiboke and Balund are brothers who have worked together for decades, the auxiliary effect of the Great Labyrinth City is something that [ Giant Arms ] has never seen before in his life.
In fact, when the full-force attack on Gray was blocked by three experts, [ Giant Arms ] had already foreseen the failure of his plan.
If they had known that such a master was hiding in the Graycast Corridor, they would never have gone through with that stupid assassination plan proposed by Aoermo and Keen.
Even so, he still chose to go all out against the three enemies.
The reason is simple: as a battle-hardened warrior, [ Giant Arms ] knows that the best way to retreat safely is not to run away directly, but to turn the tables and hurt the enemy before retreating in an orderly manner.
Although the three enemies looked to be in good condition, they couldn't possibly be completely unharmed; otherwise, they wouldn't be "breathing and healing" alongside him.
[ Giant Arms ] was not the only one who knew this principle; [ Nether Crossing ], a newcomer who was fighting for his life against a stranger on another battlefield, also understood it very well.
Just now, [ Giant Arms ] received a message from [ Nether Crossing ], asking if he wanted to evacuate together since the plan had failed.
And [ Giant Arms ] gave an affirmative answer.
Now, all that's missing is one opportunity—a chance to temporarily merge the three battlefields.
Objectively speaking, Ed is a decent guy, so of course he wouldn't want to damage those innocent buildings.
To this end, he applied an anti-gravity Psionic Energy field to Sailesi, forcibly shifting their battlefield to the air to avoid damaging the Great Labyrinth City below.
Even so, at one point, Ed caught a glimpse of a newly built detached house in the outer city that had been completely destroyed by the aftermath of Sailesi's attack, which made him feel a little guilty.
Perhaps it was the instinct for survival, or perhaps the Skeleton Alliance's technology was indeed formidable; in any case, in the brief exchange, Sailesi and Ed managed to fight to a standstill.
After the previous expansion of territory and the influx of players, according to the "level 100 measurement standard" developed by Little Green, his level has exceeded 70, which means he has entered the mid-level of the High Tier.
