The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapter 92's. The Maze is broken

Time slowly passed.

It had been more than 10 minutes the two stared at each other and there had been no sign of any of them wanting to attack.

'This kid is pretty good, seeing from his stature he should only be in his 20s.

With such great combat ability at such a young age, is he a hero candidate on the planet? ' said Dullahan in his heart.

He watched Aaron who was standing in the distance closely.

There was not the slightest bit of fear that the man displayed when fighting against him before.

'The spirit of youth! it reminds me of the past, when I was still fighting over the title of hero with the others.

It was the most pleasant moments, ' said Dullahan in his heart.

As he finished reminiscing about his past while still alive, Dullahan began to speak.

"You're pretty good, kid! But sorry, I'm going to win this fight. I'll show you the power of a real hero. HELLHEIS." cried Dullahan.

'HIHII... '

The horse he was riding started to neigh and slowly his body was shrouded in a pitch-black mist.

"Such a trick will not work for me a second time, {Esmeralda, Stalactite..} " cried Aaron.

He was intending to thwart the skill of the dark horse.

Dozens of ice stalactites suddenly appeared above Dullahan's head and slid rapidly towards him.

The stalactites managed to pierce through the bodies of Dullahan and his horse, only that the two men did not look injured in the slightest.

Instead, their bodies turned into black shadows and disappeared.

"Your attack is too slow, son, HA HA HA. "scoffs Dullahan before it completely disappears.

"Damn! [Anomaly Tracking] "Aaron's curse.

He observed the surrounding area trying to track down the horse's whereabouts, but failed.

'What's going on? Why can't my skills detect their presence? ' said Aaron, looking confused.

This was the first time anyone had managed to escape his tracking abilities.

He was quite surprised by that.

Having no other choice, Aaron is forced to raise his vigilance using [Super Sense] after failing to track down the two creatures' whereabouts time and time again.

Aaron strengthened his five senses to the highest level, in order to respond to the sudden attack that Dullahan would launch at any time.

Not long after, the sound of the waves suddenly sounded.

From behind Aaron, an enormous ice wave came rolling towards him quickly.

"Esmeralda." cried Aaron.

The woman opened her mouth wide and started sucking on the ice waves that came as fast as before.

But...

'Aaaarghhh...! '

Esmeralda suddenly cried out in pain, her body slowly starting to burn.

Seeing this, Aaron immediately realized the cause.

"Successfully hid the fire element inside the ice undetected. As expected of a former hero, you are truly amazing.

Esmeralda, retreat! " said Aaron.

Esmeralda slowly disappeared after Aaron canceled his Spirit Magic.

"What's going on? Why did you kick your Baby Sitter out? Don't tell me you've given up just because of that feeble attack, "mock Dullahan.

Aaron could hear the creature's taunts clearly, but he did not know where the source of the sound was coming from.

Ignoring the man's taunts, Aaron activated the spell {Translocate}.

In Aaron's right hand, appeared a silver-colored sword filled with ancient writing on his surface.

The sword was emitting a powerful aura around it.

"No need to worry, I won't just give up. After all, a new fight started now" Aaron said with a cold look in his eyes.

Hearing the provocative tone from Aaron's words, Dullahan once again activated his skill.

"Then, how are you going to withstand this attack of mine without your nanny. [Algidus Waves] " cried Dullahan.

A second wave of ice came rolling towards Aaron quickly.

The waves were much bigger than the previous ones.

Although Aaron could feel an extremely powerful destructive force from the attack.

Aaron remained calm, he casually swung his silver sword towards the ice waves.

[Ryle's Sword Style: Cleave The Ocean]

Although his slash looked simple, the energy contained within it was terrifying.

With just a single slash, Aaron managed to split the ice waves easily.

Not only that, he also managed to cut off the [Black Curtain] skill that Dullahan used to hide.

"Where are you apparently! If you're a knight, I challenge you to a duel in person" Aaron said.

He slid towards Dullahan quickly to prevent him from activating the concealment skill again.

Seeing that his disguise had been revealed, Dullahan was not angry at all, instead he laughed happily.

"You're right, attacking secretly is not the way a knight fights. Therefore, I accept your challenge of fighting directly. Hellheis. " said Dullahan with passion.

The black horse, dashed swiftly towards Aaron without the slightest fear.

Looking at the horse that was running towards him, Aaron leaped high up and slashed Dullahan firmly.

Meanwhile, Dullahan who was sitting on his horse welcomed the attack that came by swinging his blue axe with all his might.

'Tinkg... '

The sword and axe clashed against each other.

The energy generated by the impact was extremely strong, even the floor around the fight started to shatter apart.

Seeing that his opening attack had been successfully withheld, Aaron jumped back to activate his other skill.

But, Dullahan would naturally not allow that to happen.

'HIHII... '

He kicked Aaron as hard as he had before.

But...

[Lightning Step]

This time Aaron did not intend to hold the kick and preferred to avoid it.

'Blittzzz... '

He managed to dodge the horse's quick kick and appeared a bit away from it. But....

"It looks like you are already aware of the secret that Hellheis has." Dullahan said casually.

Spontaneous Aaron immediately tried to get away from the place, after hearing Dullahan's voice appearing behind him all of a sudden.

"That's a wise move! But your movements are too predictable" said Dullahan, swinging his axe strongly.

The attack came too quickly, Aaron did not have time to take precautions before being hit by the man's axe slash.

Dullahan managed to split Aaron's body easily without the slightest obstacle that made his axe hit the floor hard.

'Booooomm...!!! '

"Dummy! " murm Dullahan.

Aaron's body which he had previously cut off, suddenly turned into a stone statue that resembled his.

"Your previous words also apply to you, your movements are too predictable! " aaron said slashing Dullahan from his blind spot.

He suddenly appeared behind Dullahan and attacked quickly as the man had done before.

"really! " answered Dullahan casually.

'HIHII... '

"....."

Hellheis suddenly appeared from within Dullahan's shadow and tried to step on Aaron this time.

[Phantom Step]

Forced Aaron must cancel his attack and avoid the black horse's attack.

'Booommmm... '

Hellheis's front legs smashed the floor where Aaron had stood before.

Aaron took a few steps back to adjust himself.

"You have a good horse there" said Aaron.

"of course! He's been with me since the beginning of my adventure, he's the greatest partner" Dullahan said.

He stroked his horse lovingly.

Aaron seems to be thinking about something right now.

'The horse must be removed first. Otherwise, it is very difficult to defeat that annoying creature.' Aaron murmured inwardly.

While Aaron was drawing up his plan, Dullahan's screaming voice suddenly interrupted his concentration.

"Don't daydream when the battle is going on fools! " cried Dullahan in annoyance.

[Crakatoa]

He raised his red axe high up into the sky and swung it with full force to the floor.

'BOOOOMMMM....!!! '

The entire labyrinth suddenly shook violently.

Let alone the inhabitants of the labyrinth, even the adventurers who were outside the labyrinth could feel the strong vibration.

"Ehhhh, what happened? "

"Did the boss monster show up? "

"Everyone takes refuge, the labyrinth will collapse."

"Run...! "

"Save yourselves... "

"Master! Are you interested in buying accessories. "

"This is not the time to sell stupid! Quickly blurred... "

"Do anyone want to buy accessories, everything is again a half price discount. "

"Don't get in the way, crazy man... "

Panic is everywhere.

The adventurers are seen running out of the labyrinth for fear of being buried alive in it.

The tremor lasted for a few seconds before subsiding.

******************

Meanwhile, the [Throne Room] that became the epicenter of the earthquake was already severely damaged.

The originally beautiful room turned into ruins.

The floor inside the [Throne Room] was filled with cracks that were spouting extremely hot molten magma throughout the room.

The situation is completely chaotic at the moment.

However, Aaron and Dullahan did not care about it and continued their fight.

Alice, who had witnessed the damage done to the labyrinth, tried to hold back her anger.

'Relax Alice! Everything can still be fixed, this is not difficult for you, Alice muttered trying to calm down.

If it wasn't for her brother appearing to be having fun at the moment, she might have gone berserk and cursed people as an outlet of anger.

Meanwhile, Jeanne who was sitting beside Alice, was only speechless watching her second fight.

He had never seen this incredible fight.

Even so, he still worried about Aaron's safety at this time.

"Alice, are you sure you don't want to help her? " ask Jeanne.

"No need. " replied Alice briefly.

He only looked at his brother who was fighting in the distance with an envious look.
