Chapter 538 The Big Boss of the Replica Maze, Roy's Copy!
When Loki's Familia encountered the mimic Hedin, others faced similar situations.
Leon, Bell, Hedin, and the four warriors of Flame Gold landed in the same area. As experienced adventurers, they quickly accepted the situation and made the same choice as Finn: to continue exploring this floor.
Before long, the figures of Grace, Hegney, and Allen appeared before them.
The mimic doll's physique, aura, clothing, and everything else are exactly the same as the original, except for its weapons. It wields stone weapons found in the labyrinth and cannot speak.
Leon, Hedin, and Yan Jin immediately noticed something amiss and warily stared at the puppets.
The kind-hearted Bell wouldn't readily suspect others; his expression brightened, "Mr. Grace!"
Hedin grabbed Bell, who was walking forward, and said, "Stupid rabbit, use your brain and think about it!"
Bell then realized what was happening, his surprised gaze lingering on the mimicry dolls.
call out!
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound tore through the air.
The figure mimicking Allen suddenly lunged forward, a cold and resolute killing intent erupting from him. The stone spear in his hand, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, pierced straight for Bell's heart.
The former is LV.8, and the latter is LV.6!
too fast!
Bell's pupils contracted sharply, his body unable to react in time, and he could only watch helplessly as the sharp stone spearhead rapidly enlarged in his field of vision.
clang!
At the critical moment, Leon's figure darted in, his greatsword swung with both hands colliding with the stone spear.
A piercing sound of metal clashing against metal exploded!
Sparks flew as the gun tip was abruptly stopped just half an inch from Bell's chest, the immense impact causing the ground beneath their feet to crack.
"This isn't that stupid cat. The seventy-second floor is a replica maze—" Hedin's intelligence was no less than Finn's, and he understood the characteristics of the floor in a very short time.
Upon hearing this, Leon, Bell, and the four Flame Gold Warriors were all shocked. As expected of a dungeon, it was too bizarre. It could even replicate the adventurers' puppets. This floor could not be conquered by sheer numbers.
On the contrary, quite the opposite!
The more people enter this floor, the more clones there will be, which can easily cause chaos and make things more complicated.
A chilling killing intent surged forth from the bodies of the mimics Allen, Hegney, and Grace.
The air seemed to freeze; a battle was about to break out!
Leon and his group were a temporary team with little coordination. Hedin served as the defender and commander. The four Flame Gold Warriors dealt with the mimic Hegni, while Leon and Bell dealt with the mimic Grace and Allen.
In this vast labyrinth.
The two figures clashed like lightning, and the sharp clang of swords clashing echoed through the void.
The four Flame Warriors coordinated perfectly, launching a fierce attack on the mimic Hegni from four directions.
Sword light, axe shadows, spear gleam, and hammer winds wove together an impenetrable net of death, sealing off all the dark elf's escape routes, and launching a relentless offensive.
Mimic Hegni is LV.7, while the four Flame Gold Warriors are LV.6. Normally, the latter would be crushed, but the four little brothers, through perfect teamwork, are able to defeat beings one level higher than themselves.
The Mimic Hegni was firmly suppressed, but its figure moved like a ghost, using its skills and magic to maneuver against him. A deep incantation rose: "The power of the Demon Sword, annihilation for eternity!"
As the chant ended, its left hand slammed forward.
boom!
A deep, crimson flame, as dark as a rift in hell, roared from his palm and devoured the four people.
A wave of intense heat, so hot it distorted space, rushed towards them. The four dwarfs didn't panic; after all, magic requires incantation, and that little time was enough for them to react and dodge. However, they were still violently thrown back by the aftershocks of the explosion, leaving scorching marks on their armor.
"hateful!"
"He's exactly the same as Hegny!"
"These aren't just simple dolls; they perfectly recreate the technology and magic. It's disgusting!"
"Why didn't he inherit his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"
The four Flame Warriors cursed and swore. The Freya Familia members often sparred, and they were very familiar with each other's strength. The mimic Hegni in front of them was exactly the same as the real Hegni, except that he was not equipped!
Meanwhile, on the other side, both the mimic Grace and Allen are LV.8, while on their side, only Leon is LV.8, Hedin is LV.7, and Bell is LV.6.
"Gurgle!"
Bell couldn't help but swallow hard.
Known as "The Great Hero," Grace ranks among the top in strength and endurance, while "Goddess Chariot" Allen is the fastest adventurer besides Roy and Alphia. Both are strong individuals with extremely distinct personalities.
Leon smiled and said, "Bell, I'll hold them off. You be the guerrilla and watch out for Hedin's magic."
"Teacher Leon—" Bell looked at Leon's tall figure standing in front of him. The other party was going to fight two strong people, both of whom were LV.8, head-on.
"A deafening roar of light heralds the arrival of the Twelve Heroes!"
Round table of radiant light!
Leon chanted a spell, and golden light condensed in his palm, forming a platinum one-handed sword, which stood alongside the top-tier greatsword he himself wielded.
Grace and Allen's attacks formed a deadly pincer movement! On the left, Grace's massive axe, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, came slashing down with a dull whistling sound; on the right, Allen's stone spear transformed into a cold gleam, thrusting straight at his ribs.
But Leon did not back down!
His arm muscles bulged, and his two sword blades met the heavy axe to the left and parried the spear tip to the right.
Clang! Clang!
Two distinctly different loud bangs exploded!
The axe blade struck the sword, sending up blinding sparks, while the spear tip grazed the blade, producing a sharp screech.
A tremendous force pressed down from both sides simultaneously, causing the stone slab beneath Leon's feet to shatter. His body sank slightly, but he did not retreat a single step. He channeled all his strength into his sword, withstanding the attacks from both sides.
Smoke and dust rose slightly!
The three men were locked in a fierce struggle, and the clash of their weapons produced a chilling scraping sound.
"First trial of the sword, second trial of the sword, third trial of the sword, fourth trial of the sword, fifth trial of the sword—Liberation!" As the magic "Round Table Flame" continued to shatter during the trial of the sword, Leon's stats, development abilities, and skills were comprehensively enhanced, which in turn suppressed Grace and Allen.
Even though they are both LV.8, there is still a difference!
As a half-dwarf, Leon possesses strength and stamina comparable to Grace, while also exhibiting the balanced development of a human, with dexterity, agility, and magic prowess.
More importantly, he was promoted earlier than the other two.
Before defeating the tainted fairy, Leon had already reached LV.8, while Allen and Grace reached LV.8 after defeating the black dragon, a difference of more than a year.
Leon's abilities had already been honed to at least D-rank, and with the enhancement of his skills and magic, he could suppress two LV.8 opponents.
Adventurers are not a problem.
That being said, it will be difficult for Leon to defeat the mimic Grace and Allen in a short period of time.
"That's amazing!"
Bell was amazed; Mr. Roy and Mother Alphia were so dazzling that it was easy to overlook the other geniuses of the time.
"Stupid rabbit, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and prepare your skills! Why do you think we brought you along?"
Hedin's cold voice came through, and Bell trembled. He had been tortured to the point of near death by the members of Freya's Familia and was in a state of shock.
"Yes—yes!" Bell snapped out of his daze, and dazzling white particles of light emanated from his palm.
Bell has a clear understanding of himself, and his extraordinary leveling speed allows him to join the ranks of those conquering unknown territories. However, there are advantages and disadvantages; his fast leveling speed means that he is lacking in other aspects.
Those present were all adventurers whose strength and experience far surpassed his. Although he was a student in the school district, Bell dared not be so arrogant as to think that he could be compared with Leon, Hedin and others.
Bell finally understood why Roy had sent him to the school district. Without systematic learning of various knowledge, he wouldn't even be able to see the backs of Leon and the others; he would just be a brute with nothing but strength.
Hedin glanced at Bell, said nothing more, and instead watched his surroundings warily.
This is an underground city!
Hedin wasn't just watching a show; he was directing the battle while keeping an eye out for any unexpected situations that might arise. In other words, as long as he hadn't made a move, it meant the situation was still under control.
It was also because Hedin was there to oversee things.
Leon and the four Flame Warriors were able to fully concentrate on the battle, while Bell could stand still and spend several minutes preparing his skills.
Meanwhile, the mimicry dolls couldn't hold back any longer.
"Golden wheels, silver collars! Hateful love, empty illusions, destiny converges here."
The figure mimicking Allen darted rapidly among the pillars and ruins of the maze, his lips moving quickly, and obscure and urgent incantations spilling from his throat.
Hedin narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them. He would not give the other party the chance to complete the magic.
"Eternal struggle, the Thunder Soldiers will never perish!"
Carlos Hilde!
Hedin's short chant arrived first, and with him at the center, his immense spiritual power mobilized magical elements, causing countless blazing white silver lightning balls to appear out of thin air, illuminating the originally dim maze in a stark white light.
Electric snakes crackled across the surface of the lightning sphere, emitting low popping sounds. They seemed to spread haphazardly across the sky and the ground, but in reality, they blocked all of the mimic Allen's escape routes.
The mimic Allen's pupils constricted sharply, and he changed direction rapidly, attempting to pass through the gap in the lightning ball.
However, just as it dodged to the side, the hem of its clothing accidentally grazed a hovering ball of lightning.
Clap!
The lightning ball exploded instantly, triggering a chain reaction. Countless lightning balls transformed into violent electric currents, rushing wildly along the point of contact to its entire body.
The mimic Allen froze on the spot, his whole body stiffening abruptly. A violent numbness spread throughout his body, his muscles spasmed uncontrollably, and the magic power that was gathering dissipated, leaving him unable to move even his fingertips.
"snort!"
Hedin sneered. He knew all too well how powerful Allen's magic "Glenizer Fromo" was. The best way was to prevent the other party from activating it!
He devised several tactics for each of his high-level adventurers. Since Allen was so fast that his lightning spear had difficulty hitting him, he decided to create a large number of lightning balls to force the opponent to crash into them.
Your companions are the people who know you best and are most aware of your weaknesses; Hedin perfectly embodies this saying.
"Growl, mighty ley lines!"
A ground strike by lightning!
As the mimicry of Grace finished chanting, visible ripples of earthy yellow magic spread out.
The entire labyrinth floor trembled violently as if a giant beast had awakened. The solid stone slabs cracked inch by inch, and large fissures spread like a spider web. Several sharp rock spikes also emerged from the cracked earth.
The earthquake was truly devastating, as if it were about to swallow everything that stood on it into a deep abyss of churning earth and rocks.
With a wide-range ground wave magic, the opponent had used their trump card. Leon also stopped holding back, gripping his greatsword tightly with both hands, the blade bursting with silver-white light.
Afterglow!
The sword slashed continuously! Three, five, seven—sharp slashes, accompanied by a piercing whistle that tore through the air, burst forward one after another.
Wherever the slash passed, the protruding rock spikes were neatly cut off, and the churning ground was forcibly flattened.
The view suddenly opened up!
Upon seeing the fierce slash coming at him, the mimic Grace crossed his arms to protect himself.
boom! boom! boom!
The slashing beams struck its crossed arms repeatedly, creating a series of deafening explosions and sparks. The powerful body was propelled backward by the impact of the slashes, its feet carving two deep trenches in the shattered ground as it withstood the blows.
The mimic Allen does not possess such a robust physique.
Paralyzed by Hedin's lightning magic, it remained in place as the slash swept past its body.
Swish!
The mimicking Allen's upper body slowly slid down along the smooth cut surface, and then the entire body disintegrated.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Immediately afterwards, a clear and melodious chime pierced through the clamor of the battlefield. Bell had finished charging up, and a dazzling pure white light emanated from his palm, spreading to the greatsword he held, filled with holiness and determination.
Bell twisted his waist, compressing all his strength and the vast white light into a single slash.
A Heroic Strike!
The charging time reached four minutes. Although the power was not maximized, it still reached LV.9. Using the "Afterglow" technique, the pure white slash turned into a torrent that swallowed everything and tore apart the mimicry Grace.
The mimicry of Grace lacked agility and relied on its strong endurance to withstand Leon's slashes, but it could not withstand Bell's slashes, and its strong body gradually melted away.
Rumble!!
A pure white torrent swept past.
Where the mimic Grace had originally stood, only a deep, straight slash with smooth, mirror-like edges remained, extending into the depths of the labyrinth.
Two Level 8 Mimicry experts have been defeated!
As expected, the remaining mimics of Hegny were easily dealt with by Leon and Hedin working together.
Leon praised, "Bell, well done."
Bell scratched his head and said modestly, "Teacher Leon could do that with his full-force strike too."
"My sword trial, when fully unleashed, takes just as long as your charge-up. Comparing our levels, your Heroic Strike has a higher potential," Leon laughed.
Bell was beaming with joy at the praise.
"You two are such idiots, we don't have time to waste!" Hedin ruthlessly interrupted the two who were exchanging pleasantries.
The group continued exploring the seventy-second floor.
They then dealt with the clones of Cassandra and Ais, without encountering any identical clones.
Hedin said, "It seems that only one identical copy will appear within a certain timeframe."
This conjecture is widely accepted.
"That means the others won't encounter the previous clones anymore, that's great." Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mmm!" Bell nodded in agreement.
Hedin didn't want to say much to these two good-natured men. Wise men often think alike, and like Finn, he was worried about something else.
This team was clearly luckier!
Several hours later, Hedin, Leon, and the others arrived at a huge stone gate with an ancient and simple design. It was decorated with mysterious and ferocious patterns, and flames were burning on both sides, filling the place with a dangerous and ominous atmosphere.
A hint of tension appeared on Bell's face; what was in front of him was like the legendary BOSS room.
"It's about to be opened!"
Hedin reminded everyone, braced his hands against the heavy door, and began to exert force, slowly pushing it open.
Through a crack in the door, Hedin, Leon, Bell, and the four warriors of Flame Gold saw the scene inside the room and the familiar figure of the young man in the center. They were immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
Roy clone!
