The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 83 - Creator of the Labyrinth

The funeral has been completed, now that Parthe la Angele has completed her duties as a witch who inherited the spell from the goddess Marlin, the spell will return to find a new host if all the holy knights die, at once it will again weaken the dimensional portal that makes the demon clan freely roam this land.

Oana was still standing staring at the gravestone right where Parthe was buried. Her tears kept flowing, so many memories that she had passed with Parthe all this time. Oana has been with Parthe since she was a child until now at the age of 21 years.

Before getting a spell and becoming a holy witch, Parthe's strength and expertise as a witch has been recognized what else she does include one of the members of the magic lockdown consulate. Especially when he was in the daulat became a holy witch and got a spell, then it means that at that time he had become the strongest magician ever on the land of Neverland.

Now Parthe is gone but her determination and talent have been passed on to the student she already considers her own son. It is Oana, a talented young witch who is mentored by Parthe and has gained various magical knowledge from Parthe. Currently Oana's only one goal, fulfilling the Parthe's last request, is to meet the holy knight ignis.

Oana herself was not sure of it but she would try, after all it was a request she had to fulfill despite having to take years to endure. His determination was already strong, he had to meet with Richard at all costs.

Oana turned around, she walked away from the tomb of the teacher as well as the figure of the mother for her. He would return to the palace to pack his goods and then go to fulfill his promise to Parthe. Although late to get an offer from king William to become a royal magician but he refused, the current goal is the kingdom of Inggram.

Meanwhile, the holy knights who had finished paying their respects to Parthe now began to continue on their way. They had all received orders from king William to get acquainted and seek the true power of their respective selves, until they were worthy to challenge the demon lord. That power will emerge along with the experience and knowledge they gain in fighting and wandering.

Just like what Iuron did, the holy knights of their predecessors who traveled to find true strength and become stronger, became stronger until they were able to reach the highest peak of their strength.

Reaching the highest peak can only be achieved by making this journey. They cannot be achieved instantly, they must fight and hone their skills, they must have fighting experience and be in a desperate situation for true strength to emerge.. Just like what Iuron and their predecessors did.

Now they had come out of the royal capital and were walking towards the east. In the middle of the road they found a branching road that leads to the south and north. Here they would separate and divide into two groups on the recommendation of King William.

"It looks like we got here together." Arthur looked at all his comrades.

"Do we really have to separate? " Ebeca looks moody, she doesn't want to part with any of them.

"Just calm down Rebecca.. We'll meet again.. Our meeting point is the eastern region, but before that we must divide ourselves first." Gildarts tried to calm Rebecca down.

They all understood this, only for Rebecca it was quite heavy if they had to be scattered when they were very close.

"Alright guys.. As we discussed earlier. Me, Diana, Rinto and Leo will walk north while Smits, Ivy, Rebecca, Gildarts and Pege will walk south." Arthur looks very excited about the adventure that will await them.

"Patty.. You will lead them. I'm sure you can be a good leader for them." Said Arthur.

"Hadehh is troublesome only. All right, how else." As usual, the lazy-looking Smits were now the leaders of the group that was about to walk south.

"Yossshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Let's go!!" Said Arthur.

After they said goodbye to each other, the two groups of holy knights slowly moved away from each other. Now they will be guided by a destiny that will bring them together later in the eastern region, a region that is currently in danger.. The eastern region is where the Nusantara kingdom is located. The kingdom was threatened by the invasion of the Demon clan, but unfortunately the holy knights did not know that.. No one knew of it even the founding kings of the round table conference though.

If the holy knights were already moving on their adventure, then it was different from the holy knights who had been considered dead by their comrades.

Richard.. The holy knight with the title of ignis who had been asleep for a few days suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. He suddenly got up in shock at one thing. "Huh huh's.. Where's this?" The first words he spoke as he got out of the bed he was in at this moment.

His disordered breathing made Richard's heart beat fast, he was astonished to be in such a strange room with ornaments he had never seen before. Even the strangest thing at the moment is that he is on a soft bed with a blanket and clean clothes that he wears.

"What's going on!?" Richard began to think clearly, he recalled the events that happened before he was in this room.

After how many moments, he thought back to the demon named Darkger that he fought in a big room full of green grass and giant pillars that were approaching 20 meters above the ground.

"How am I supposed to be in this place?" Richard was confused.

Amidst the confusion he moved out of bed and came out while opening the soft blanket that enveloped him while he was asleep. He walked over to the door on the right side of the bed.

Right now, the wounds on his body had healed and the clothes he was wearing looked like pajamas worn by nobles in the middle ages. As he was right in front of the door, he opened the door slowly. The sound of door friction rang out as he began to open the door, then as he was already in another part of the room.. Richard was silent, he was amazed at the way he saw it.

A room coated with gold made his eyes glare due to the reflected light from gold that filled the room. Richard turned again to the place where he fell asleep and only realized that the frame of the bed he was in was also made of shiny gold.

Richard walked out, he saw a pillar of the room made of gold. Looking at various statues made of gold, then he realized that he was on the top floor because he saw me a ladder that leads down.

As soon as he came down, no sound of steps could be heard from the steps he stepped on so clean and slippery. It was a staircase that was also made of shiny gold, not a ladder made of wood that if stepped on would produce a squeaking sound. Although it was full of gold, but some of the rooms were still made of cement and wood, not all of the rooms were filled with gold.

Richard came downstairs, amazed to see a room full of bookshelves. From where he stood now to wherever his eyes looked, he could only see a pile of old books that were very well-kept and not dusty at all. Although not touching but Richard sure just by looking at the books. Once preserved, it was like looking at a new book that no one had ever read.

In the middle of the room, there was a circular chair and a table in the middle. Richard walked to the side, he held some neatly arranged open on the bookshelves, he also opened the book several times that caught his attention and returned to properly storing the book.

This is a room that looks like a library full of books and also ornaments and interiors made of gold. Above the sky of the room was a shining lamp. At least Richard knew the light was a light lamp but actually it was a magic item that shone with an empire of light. That item is what makes this room so bright, even so bright Richard can see anything in this room without any shadow.

"You're aware of it.." Someone scolded Richard.

"Who is that?" Richard was surprised, of course, because he felt a strange aura emanating from the figure reprimanding him.

"Calm ignis, I have no intention of fighting you." Said the figure who was approaching Richard from his left.

The figure came out from the room behind him, The strange figure was pitch-black with eyes that lit up like flashlights, his body still resembling a human, having legs and arms. The figure was wearing ancient clothing that was also made of gold fiber that was sewn into cloth.

The figure had white teeth that were clearly visible when he spoke hence the facial skin to his body were all pitch black. It also has glowing white hair that breaks down from its head to its back.

Despite having legs, his feet did not touch the floor at all. He moved closer to Richard.

"You.. I know you!" Richard said, no longer alert. Richard certainly knew that the figure currently approaching him had no intention of attacking at all.

"Of course you know me.. I'm the one who led you to this place." Said the figure, he was still floating despite having been in front of Richard.

"Your voice.. Yes I remember.. It was your voice that had been ringing in my head." Richard recalls dying when his left hand was eaten by the Cyclops. The voice he heard at that time turned out to be the voice of the figure currently in front of him.

"Where's this? And who are you?" Richard frowned, his face now filled with questions.

"Let's just remember, Ignis, I'll introduce myself to you... I am the host here, I am the one who created this labyrinth, now that you are at the very bottom of the labyrinth.. And I'm the one who brought you into my house when you killed the old demon Darkger who had wanted to capture me for a long time." Obviously that figure.

"What's? Labyrinth owner? Ground floor?.. Who the hell are you?" Richard's gaze did not change, he still did not understand what the figure in front of him was saying at this moment.

"My name is Ifrit, I am part of the demon lord's elite army with the title of 4 pillars of hell.."

"You.. A devil?" Richard asked when he heard the demon lord.

"No, I am from the Jin race. One of the races that live on the Darksideland land." Firmly Ifrit, the 4 pillars of hell, a title that was above the level 6 great sin.
