Chapter 93: Entering the 'Knossos'!
The scene fell into a stalemate, with Ethan embodying the phrase 'fearless'.
The other three Gulliver brothers, except for the eldest, all glared at the boy, clearly dissatisfied as well.
"Put your weapon away~"
At this moment, Alfrigg, the eldest brother, spoke up.
Although he often had to clean up the messes caused by his three hot-tempered brothers, when it came to important matters, it was still Alfrigg, the eldest one, who made the final decisions.
"Hmph!"
Grer snorted and put his weapon away, his face still full of resentment.
Seeing this, Ethan smiled.
Thankfully, the other party backed down.
If it really came to a fight, he wasn't sure if he would be a match for any of the Gulliver brothers without exposing his trump card.
But as long as they didn't fight, he was in an absolutely invincible position.
As long as Freya hadn't lost interest in him, he had an unlimited get-out-of-jail-free card.
"Ethan, don't waste time. Our time is precious."
Alfrigg looked at Ethan and said.
Although he also disliked the boy very much, he had no choice but to coexist peacefully with him for now.
Not to mention, tonight's mission was a direct order from their goddess.
So, they had to take down the 'Knossos' before dawn.
"The 'door' has been identified, the next step is to enter. There's one thing I need to make clear, the 'Knossos' is very large, and it has reached the middle floors of the dungeon, so be sure to quickly eliminate all enemies you see in there."
"Alright!"
The four brothers were not unreasonable people and agreed to Ethan's suggestion.
They knew that now was not the time for internal strife.
Even if they wanted revenge, it would have to wait until later after they finished the mission.
'Rustle——'
At this moment, a graceful figure approached from afar.
It was none other than Sanjouno Haruhime.
However, upon seeing golden-haired Renard, the Gulliver brothers frowned slightly.
They didn't understand why they had to bring along a woman on this mission, especially one who didn't seem to have much strength.
"Are you sure you want to bring her along?"
Ottar spoke up, his gaze towards Haruhime carrying a hint of care.
As someone who had personally experienced her magic 'Uchide no Kozuchi', he knew Haruhime's value better than anyone in their Familia.
Their mission today was to eliminate the Ikelos Familia, and bringing Haruhime along seemed a bit risky.
After all, the people inside the Man Made Dungeon were all villains and desperados.
If anything unexpected happened to Haruhime, it would be an irreparable loss for Freya Familia.
"Don't underestimate her. The current Haruhime is nine times stronger than before."
"Hmm? Nine times? Could it be..."
"It's exactly what you think."
'Hiss——'
Ottar took a breath of cold air, looking at Haruhime in disbelief.
He was already shocked by the effect of Uchide no Kozuchi before, but he didn't expect the Renard to have something more amazing.
Haruhime was also a bit overwhelmed.
This was the first time she had received so much attention.
However, after using the [Grimoire] and having awakened her second magic, she was clearly more confident than before.
The Gulliver brothers on the side were completely confused, not understanding what these two were talking about.
…
After a while, they arrived in front of a rock wall, Ethan's magic power surged, causing the surroundings to distort for a moment before a square entrance was revealed.
Ethan took the lead and entered.
Upon entering, they could see that the surrounding walls were made of special materials.
There was a huge door in front of them, made entirely of 'Orichalcum'.
Without the 'key', it was basically impossible to enter inside.
At the door, Ethan also saw the inscription of a name.
[Daedalus]
The instigator of all this, a mad craftsman from a thousand years ago, who had perpetuated a curse on his descendants that lasted for millennia for his own crazy ideas.
Ethan didn't waste any time and took out the 'key'.
Immediately, the key and the door resonated with each other, and the eye pattern on the key emitted a faint red light.
'Rumble——'
The next second, the door slowly opened, revealing the entrance to the 'Knossos'.
"This is the 'Knossos'?"
After entering, Alfrigg looked at the huge space that had been excavated and was in disbelief.
Was this really something humans could achieve?
It looked like the 'Knossos', comparable to the dungeon, actually existed.
It was truly a shocking discovery.
'Who are you?'
At this moment, a loud shout rang out.
From a doorway in the distance, a person saw Ethan and the others enter and shouted.
Since anyone who could appear here was either a member of Ikelos Familia or Evilus, they are all targets that need to be eradicated.
'Whoosh——'
'Pfft——'
Before Ethan could react, Alfrigg, who was beside him, took action, throwing his spear directly at the guy.
Despite the distance of several tens of meters, the spear still pierced through the man's chest with incredible accuracy, pinning him to the wall.
"Let's confirm the mission's objective again, we need to eliminate everyone here, right?"
Turning to look at Ethan, Alfrigg asked this question.
"Yes, since we want to occupy this place, we naturally need to clear out the original owners. But remember to also collect these 'keys' later, so as to save trouble."
"I understand."
The pallum looked at the 'key' in Ethan's hand and memorized its appearance.
The other three brothers were also getting excited.
If they could complete this mission flawlessly, they would definitely win their goddess's favor, which was undoubtedly the highest honor for them.
"Ottar, I'll leave this entrance to you."
"Leave it to me."
Since it was an entrance, it was naturally also an exit, so someone needed to guard it.
And the person chosen for this task was naturally Ottar.
As for the Gulliver brothers, they were all Level 5 adventurers.
Although not as strong as Ottar, they were more than enough to deal with the members of Ikelos Familia.
"Then let the hunt begin!"
As these words fell, the four Gulliver brothers instantly burst into action.
Each of them was like a wild horse that had been let loose, returning to the grasslands and running wild.
Ethan was speechless looking at them.
Were they trying to steal credit?
Ethan had no interest in this and went deeper with Haruhime.
[Mana Burst]
To prevent any accidents, he directly used the skill 'Mana Burst' and paid close attention to everything around him.
As for the four pallum brothers who had already run off, Ethan thought, "Work hard, but don't get lost."
This wasn't an exaggeration.
'Knossos' was the culmination of a thousand years of effort by the descendants of the 'Daedalus family', and since it was called an 'artificial underground labyrinth', it naturally had complex structures.
It was indeed possible to get lost if one wasn't careful.
