The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 1 - Labyrinth

A place full of mystery, in it there are various kinds of monsters from the weakest to the strongest. This place is called

'maze' by the native knights, this place became their place for training to increase the level of fighting and improve their status points. The more often they fought, the stronger their strength would be.

It had been two months since the ten knights from another world were summoned to the Neverland mainland to fulfill the fate that had been waiting for them that was to defeat the Demon clan. Currently they were inside the labyrinth to raise their status points and fighting levels.

The ten knights had different powers and different weapons. The strength they get depends on their nature and character. Although in their previous world they were only ordinary humans, but now they had become holy knights who were on a mission to save the land of Neverland from the Demon clan.

They were guided by the great Knights of the Inggram kingdom and some ordinary Knights to enter into the labyrinth to increase their combat power.

Inside the labyrinth there are several floors, from the top floor to the bottom floor whose ends are not yet known. The lowest floor the native knights had ever reached was the 35th floor. On the floor there is a giant monster named salamander that can not be defeated until now. And now their goal is to get to that floor and defeat the salamander.

Step by step increasingly brought the group of knights closer. During the journey they look alert and cautious of monster attacks that might attack at any time.

"Chairman Eros, how much longer do we have to walk?"

Eros Lopnika, the great knight of the Inggram kingdom who is currently leading their expedition.

"In the near future we will arrive, prepare yourselves. Our opponents will not be underestimated."

"We'd better go back."

"oi oi's.. Richard, if you're afraid you'd better go home. You moron.."

"It's Rinto, you can't say that to your partner."

They went down the steep stairs, they had to walk carefully if they did not want to fall down. At a giant door, Eros the great knight said. "It seems we've arrived. Be prepared."

The knights then took out their weapons and prepared to fight. Some ordinary knights then tried to open the gate. Not yet the gate was open, suddenly from the direction of their left which at that time looked dark appeared one green colored monster and holding a sword.

Not yet the knights reacted, the monster immediately attacked one of them.

"God.."

"Ivy.. Look out.. Get out of there."

Ivy who was surprised did not have time to act and now the monster is in front of him. Richard who was near Ivy, with his reflex body then blocked the monster yant result, his left thigh was hit by a stab wound. Richard did manage to dispel the monster, but he failed to slash the monster out of nervousness and did not know how to use his strength.

"Ah.. It hurts." Richard was in pain.

"A lightning strike." with a speed beyond reason, Leo one of the holy knights managed to slash the monster's head.

"I'm sorry.. Because of me, now you're getting hurt." Ivy apologized to Richard.

"Well.. You're just a hassle. From the beginning we were called into this world. You're the only one who doesn't have any meaningful change." Darkam said cynically to the wounded Richard.

"It's been.. What matters is that everything is fine. Diana, please heal Richard's wounds."

Diana approached Richard who was still moaning in pain. Diana then took the water from the bottle tied around her waist and poured it into Richard's wound. A minute later, the wound was gone and completely gone.

"Are you ready?" Eros asked the entire holy knight.

"of course." Arthur answered confidently.

The knights who were in front of the door pushed the giant gate open. After they entered the gate, they arrived at a fairly large room. But there was nothing in the room.

"Chairman Eros, is this really the place?" ask Arthur who is unsure.

Not yet the great knight replied, suddenly in the room there was an earthquake and right in front of them there was an open hole. A moment later came the giant lizard called Salamander that attacked them with a torrent of poison.

"watchful.. Dodging." Arthur gave a cue to the holy knight.

They all jumped, as did the great knights. But some ordinary knights instantly melted and died instantly when exposed to the poison. A frightened Richard ran to the strip of the pole avoiding the poison of being late to jump.

"Gruesome." Ivy empathizes with the melted knights.

"It seems interesting." muttered Leo excitedly looking at the menster.

"Sad.. The monster managed to kill the other knights." Arthur is upset that can't protect them.

The knights then surrounded the monster, with the cue from Arthur, all the holy knights began to launch their attacks. One by one the holy knights attacked to make Salamander desperate and confused to attack who.

"I'll blind her eyes for a moment. When he's blind, hit his head all at once."

After saying this to his comrades, Arthur pulled out the sword he held in his large shield and lifted it up. Instantly the sword gave off a bright light that could blind vision. All the knights closed their eyes so as not to be affected by the effects.

The salamander who wanted to spout poison was disturbed by the bright light that made him messy in determining the direction.

"Now." cried Arthur to his comrades.

A second after the bright light was extinguished, all the holy knights attacked with full force and knocked the Salamander down.

"Bar status."

Arthur checked his status bar. When he said that, suddenly a transparent screen on the bracelet he was using appeared. On the screen was written a number that signified their current level of strength and level.

"Gee.. Amazingly, Arthur had already reached level 50, his combat power was also already above 30,000." Diana looks at Arthur's status bar and praises him.

"It should be, Arthur is our leader." Rinto recalls Diana's praise.

"It seems like this time the mission was scrambled successfully." the great knight Eros confirmed the success of their mission.

They all seemed quite satisfied today, moreover they had conquered the level 35 maze, after all, the next expedition will be in another week and they will for the first time descend to the deeper floor at level 36.

"oi oi's.. Richard, you're not fighting at all. Basic useless."

"I'm sorry.. I'm just troubling you guys."

Richard apologized for his cowardice. Richard was often bullied by his other colleagues because he was the weakest among them. Richard was a Fire-type holy knight and held a knife. Perhaps because his weapon was only a knife, he felt insecure about his own strength.

"We'd better get back."

As the great knight Eros said, they decided to return to the kingdom of Inggram. As they all turned around suddenly a portal opened right at their delan. The black portal looked increasingly enlarged and before long came out a horned human figure and had 3 long tails.

"Well! What'sthat?" Leo was stunned to see the creature.

"No way." Great knight Eros was surprised instead of playing. He was gaping and sweat was seen drenching his face.

"Chairman Eros, who is this thing?" Arthur looked alert and ready to attack.

All the holy knights looked ready to attack.

"Holy knight? No kidding.. Insects like you all don't deserve to face us." looks like the creature's boasting.

"That creature.. Is.. The elite assassin from the Demon clan." the great knight Eros stammeredly uttered it.

"Interesting." Leo again looks excited after knowing his opponent.

The holy knights took the horses and prepared to attack.

"No, we can't fight now. You who are not yet able to defeat him. We have to get out of here." with the trembling body of the great knight Eros advised the holy knights.

"There's no harm in us trying." Arthur said confidently.

Not yet they attacked, suddenly the creature let out a ball-shaped light in his right hand. He was seen directing the light towards the holy knight.

"goodbye." after saying that line, the light quickly turned to all of them and caused a huge explosion.

A few moments later in the smoke of the explosion. It was seen that the holy knights were sprawled and wounded. Even with a great knight and his men did not escape the effects of the explosion.

"Ah. Huh huh's.. You all okay?" Arthur tried to get up even though he looked overwhelmed.

"you don't even deserve to fight me." the creature re-entered the portal and along with the moment it entered, also came out a green monster called Goblin in large numbers surrounding the heroes.

They were all quite overwhelmed after receiving the attack of the explosion. But at least they can still get up and fight.

"listen to all of you, we need to get out of here. We must open the gap and escape from this goblin army." again the great knight Eros gave instructions to immediately escape.

Before long they were involved in clashes with an army of goblins who number more than them. Although the goblin army was a weak monster but their magic power had all been drained away so they were very wrong to face the goblin army.

They continue to fight, Arthur who is the strongest knight and their leader continues to motivate. Until they managed to break through and get a gap to escape in the middle of the ambush of the goblin troops. They all ran as hard as they could considering that the room had started to falter and would soon collapse.

"Come on everyone, come out through the gate. Hurry."

As they ran towards the gate, Ivy suddenly fell down. On seeing it, his ankle had been attracted by one of the goblins.

"Ah. No. gabe. Unleash it.. Let go of me." Because the magic energy was drained, he was hysterical and could not escape.

When he felt he would be dragged far away, Richard came bravely to help Ivy who was caught. Richard pulled Ivy after cutting off the goblin's hand with his weapon. When Ivy was able to move, now it was Richard's turn to be pulled by the goblin army.

"Richard.." ivy yells and tries to reach out to pull Richard in but just before their hands touch, the floor of the room collapses and Richard falls down along with the goblin monster.

"Richard.." Ivy was hysterical when she couldn't get Richard's hand.

"Ivy, we gotta go. This room is gonna collapse."Diana holds Ivy down, who keeps looking down where Richard fell. The great distance to the invisible bottom makes Diana hold Ivy to help Richard.

"Ivy's sorry to have to say this but, we can't help Richard." As the situation gets chaotic and the room is about to collapse, Arthur decides to leave Richard to fall to the bottom of the floor.

With regret Ivy ran back, tears flowed because he could not help Richard even though Richard had twice helped him today.
