Chapter 318: The Saint Descends
"In the end, it still went your way. Now she's tied to your chariot,"
Seeing Rephya, who usually likes to feign ignorance, showing a somewhat jealous expression, Chloe laughed even more heartily.
He stepped forward, rubbed the girl's cheek, and said softly:
"Actually, I'm very happy. Luckily, I'm in this world; otherwise, I'd definitely be caught in a dilemma."
The girl pouted and said, "What's there to be conflicted about?"
Chloe said, "The time left for us is too short. If we lose the fight, we won't have a future either, so I'm thinking of taking this chance to express my love as much as possible, otherwise, I won't have any opportunity later."
The girl snorted lightly, then pushed his shoulder:
"Don't talk about such depressing topics; we will definitely be okay."
Chloe blinked and added:
"If we can leave alive, then with our strength, we'll have plenty of time in the long years ahead to be together daily, so that's why I'm saying I'm taking advantage..."
He paused for a moment and said with utmost sincerity:
"Fortunate that, no matter what, we both have the chance to reach each other's end."
Rephya's gaze showed a bit of emotion, and finally, she sighed long:
"Although I know the senior wants to say this to reassure me, I must admit, it's quite convincing."
Chloe gently lifted Rephya's hair and said, "So, did it convince you?"
Xiaolu blinked and said, "You guess."
The two looked at each other and finally let out a light laugh.
Only Fufu's somewhat resentful voice could be heard: "You two are laughing so happily, can you come over and help?"
"Coming, coming!"
The two hurriedly ran to stop the commotion.
If they didn't go over soon, Fufu would really hit someone.
Soon, the commotion of the three broke through and gradually disappeared; they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, the only problem left for them to face was the second one.
How to quickly get through the floors and collect the Extraordinary Traits of Sequence Six, Sequence Five, and Sequence Four.
It wasn't long before Chloe and the others, who had just left the city, encountered Master Heisha.
Heisha glanced at Chloe and said:
"Have you considered withdrawing from the Maze first?"
Chloe was a bit confused by Heisha's sudden words.
"Withdraw from the Maze now? But our strategic goals on this side haven't been achieved yet."
"That's somewhat tricky," Heisha rubbed his forehead and said, "While wandering around the surrounding floors, I vaguely sensed traces of Evil God's Followers of Sequence Six and above. Although I'm not afraid, when it comes to an actual confrontation, I can't possibly spare this much effort to protect this batch of kids."
Heisha hesitated for a moment but still offered his own suggestion:
"The kids have already grasped what they should. Even if they were thrown directly onto the battlefield now, they could be considered excellent recruits."
Chloe understood Heisha's hint, nodded, and said:
"Let them go back directly. I asked Principal Alfredo for a Group Town Recall Scroll."
It's a super scroll that a Demigod Class Mage is qualified to craft, with the effect of teleporting all personnel in one area to a designated location.
The scroll given by Principal Alfredo would transport them directly back to the Ethereal Emblem.
Heisha nodded upon hearing this, revealing a gratified smile: "I thought you'd insist on your opinion."
"Insist on what? The Maze isn't safe now; I didn't teleport them back immediately for two reasons: one is hoping for the members to get some training, and the other is because of Master Heisha, you."
Heisha was momentarily stunned, then laughed and said:
"You really trust me then."
"It's you proving with actions that you deserve trust."
"Well, let's forget it," Heisha said lightly, "Don't trust me too much; my strength isn't as strong as you think."
Chloe shrugged and said nothing.
It seems Master Heisha has been subjected to some blow before?
Guessing correctly, it should be an issue with the students.
However, Chloe didn't inquire about the specifics.
He didn't want to poke Master Heisha's wound.
After all... he suspects Master Heisha demands such harsh requirements from the students because a student, lacking skill, failed to survive on the battlefield.
...
Regardless, the return to the city has been arranged on the agenda.
The other students have no objections.
This trip to the Maze has brought them rich rewards.
The original plan was to battle in the Maze for three months, but unexpectedly, after spending just over a month, they're heading back.
Luckily, they've harvested abundantly this time; they weren't very strong anyway.
As the moment of releasing the Group Town Recall Scroll approached, Laura glanced at Chloe and said:
"Aren't you going back?"
"Not going back; we've rested enough, time to continue deeper into the Maze."
Laura smiled and said, "Seems like you're worried we'll hold you back."
Chloe rolled his eyes and said, "No holding back; you guys are very helpful. It's just that the current environment isn't so great. I don't want you guys to be buried in the Abyss of Woe."
"Whatever you say," Laura waved her hand and said, "In any case, protect them well. You're the most capable one now."
"I'll try?"
"Why the question mark?"
"Haha."
The two exchanged smiles, while Heisha on the side said, "Don't worry, they won't be in much danger. After you teleport away, I'll stay behind to keep an eye on the kid."
"Huh?"
Chloe was stunned on the spot, expecting Heisha would follow this group of students to leave.
Heisha rolled her eyes and said, "Are you kidding? Don't forget, you guys came to the Abyss of Woe carrying your studies.
We teachers need to specially stay behind to evaluate your combat performance. If there hadn't been more students before, I would have specifically taken time to keep an eye on you."
Chloe's forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
Good grief.
Master Heisha, you're screwing me over!
The specific details of this trip to the maze should not be known to outsiders.
However, Heisha said, "Don't count on Nini following you, so I don't need to specially supervise."
"No, I just had this thought, I hadn't even had time to say it out loud."
Heisha rolled her eyes and said, "I know what you want to do the moment you make a move, alright, stop talking, hurry up and activate the array."
Chloe nodded, tearing open the Group Town Recall Scroll in his hand.
Just as he tore open the scroll, he suddenly heard a distinct rumbling from the ground.
He was somewhat surprised and said, "Does this teleportation scroll also come with a ground attack?"
But moments later, he realized something was wrong.
Because the tremors around the cave became more noticeable.
"Not good, something is tearing apart the upper layers."
The next moment.
The rock caves between the 19th and 20th floors exploded instantly.
Amidst the roaring noise, Chloe saw a wriggling white bone giant dragon shuttling between floors, with large boulders falling like meteors from the sky.
At that moment, the strong members and teachers from the student team simultaneously took action.
Chloe's pupils shook violently, sensing trouble.
"A saint? Why is there a saint here?"
But now he couldn't afford to worry about that, just relentlessly unleashing filthy thunder,
which covered the semi-air like an inky tide.
But the situation was worse than he thought.
Because the entire 19th floor collapsed.
The area was too large, and the mere filthy thunder was unsustainable for the moment.
"Get out of the way!"
Master Heisha's hoarse shout came.
In an instant.
Chloe felt an extremely oppressive power blooming from Heisha.
Heisha's body rapidly rose at this moment, terrifying power spreading over him.
A violent explosion burst from Heisha's palm, finally turning into a punch-wind that tore mountains apart.
"Hah!"
With an angry shout.
A huge hole was blasted in the collapsed 19th floor.
Chloe took a sharp cold breath.
For nothing else.
Because, in that moment, he saw countless shadows in Heisha's attack.
Titan.
Blood Race.
Dragon Race.
...
The traits of countless powerful races spread over her.
Although it wasn't entirely absorbed and digested, traces of harmonious fusion could still be seen.
One or two might not make a big impact, but what if there were 10, 20, or even hundreds?
Under mutual superposition, Heisha's punch not only shattered half the floor but also sent the suddenly descending Saint Bone Dragon flying.
"Chloe, don't stop!"
Heisha's icy voice came through.
Chloe said nothing, only continued to activate the Group Town Recall Scroll.
Chloe sensed the instability of the surrounding space.
This was because the saint above was frantically interfering with the surrounding space.
Fortunately, Principal Alfredo had something.
At the moment when the Space Array was about to be further delayed, a pair of giant metal hands tore through space, linking the passages on both sides from the other side of the teleportation array.
"It's Principal Alfredo's Mental Image World!"
A student couldn't help but exclaim.
But the next moment, the linked space passage became unstable again.
That saint seemed to be attacking something initially, but upon noticing the Group Town Recall Array, turned its head and spewed a breath of dragon fire in the direction of everyone.
One by one, students were teleported out by the array, but a part of the students remained on site.
Where had the students seen such a scene before?
It seemed as if everything around was about to be destroyed in an instant, the immense pressure preventing several young students from even standing.
At the moment when the light of the teleportation array was about to disappear, Laura and Teresa grabbed two first-year students and thrust them directly into the last two beams of the teleportation array.
"Run, go back and call for support."
The next moment, the light dissipated.
Laura and Teresa instantly fled in different directions at the site.
"Detect age under 22, surpassing Sequence Eight prodigy, execute the will of the great one, sweep away all."
The dragon's eyes flickered with a dark light, opening its mouth to spew a destructive dragon breath.
But the next moment, a shadow appeared by its mouth.
Chloe's gaze was as cold as dead water, and he stomped out a kick.
The incomparable force transformed into a shock that even the dragon couldn't shield against, pressing its spewed dragon breath back into its mouth.
