Chapter 1071: Chapter 803: Giving You a Second Choice
"————————————————"
This was a tremor that swept through the entire artificial labyrinth.
The tremor did not come suddenly.
After all, when Dionysus was sent back earlier, the artificial labyrinth was also thrown into a state of violent tremors, causing many people to fall into panic.
Moreover, with the altars where each Polluted Immortal Spirit’s avatar was located constantly in fierce battle, various tremors, shakes, and tilts had never ceased. Thus, this sudden tremor was not too out of the ordinary for many people.
But with the appearance of this tremor, adventurers of all six units were astonished to find that the Immortal Spirit avatars that had been fiercely attacking them suddenly stopped.
"Buzz!"
All around, magic circuits blinked in and out of flickering, causing the circles to flicker along with them.
The magic arrays that had been relentlessly pouring firepower on the adventurers disappeared one by one, and even the ubiquitous magic power vanished, as if the source of a stream had been cut off.
The singing of the Immortal Spirit avatars, which had never paused, abruptly ceased without warning, catching many people off guard.
"This..."
"What’s going on?"
"Why did it stop?"
Adventurers at each battlefield couldn’t help but halt their movements, hesitantly looking at each other, as a sense of unease and chaos gradually emerged.
"... My thumb doesn’t hurt anymore."
Finn, bearing many injuries, licked his thumb, frowning deeply.
"What is this? Even monsters pause during battle?"
Bert viciously kicked apart a colorful monster, using his corroded-blackened arm to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still fierce.
"Grand Sorcery..."
Revilia, a bit disheveled, gripped her wand tightly, standing on the magic array, not daring to let her guard down.
"Whew..."
Surrounded by a group of colorful monsters, Ais instinctively exhaled, the dark flames in her eyes dim, looking somewhat fatigued.
"Isn’t this a great opportunity? Let’s charge!"
"Idiot! It might be a trap! Don’t act rashly!"
Just as Theona was about to rush toward the motionless Immortal Spirit avatars, Theone roughly pulled her back.
"Hey, Finn, what’s the situation now?"
Grace, the super vanguard, looked as if he’d been fighting fiercely in the front lines, now holding a crystal, consulting the commander of this operation.
"Is it, is it Mr. Reiger?"
Only Rephia, on the battlefield of the sixth unit, seemed to realize something, showing a hesitant yet delighted expression on her dirty face.
Including the fourth unit led by Shakti and the fifth unit led by Chun, all six battlefield movements stopped suddenly, spreading unrest and anxiety.
At the same time, Orario was also in turmoil.
No, it should be said that since that celestial beam of repatriation appeared and shot towards the night sky, Orario had already been in turmoil.
"Another repatriation...!?"
"What on earth is happening? Is the world ending?"
"Repeated repatriations... Could Orario be returning to its dark ages?"
"Hey, look over there, that red light has disappeared."
Whether human or god, everyone was keenly discussing various matters, some even rushing to the guild, either seeking refuge or demanding answers from the guild, forcing them to offer an explanation.
Undoubtedly, the guild had to take the brunt of it at such a time, since they were the official managers of Orario.
With one unknown incident after another occurring, people naturally turned to the official organization for help or questioning.
In such circumstances, the guild headquarters bustled with people, especially at the employee counters, all filled with crowds, leaving the night shift guild staff overwhelmed and frantic.
Yet those intentionally monitoring the city’s situation also noticed that the red light that had appeared earlier due to the imminent completion of the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles] had inexplicably vanished.
"Could it be... the operation succeeded?"
Many informed individuals murmured in secret, quietly hoping.
While turmoil engulfed each battlefield and Maze City Orario, the 11th layer of the artificial labyrinth Knossos was in a state of ruin.
The appearance of the labyrinth was entirely gone, remnants of walls and rubble piled everywhere, charred marks spread throughout, giving the impression that it was a miracle it hadn’t completely collapsed.
"Ah... ah ah ah... yaaahhhh...!"
Amidst this dilapidated battlefield, Aleye, the Polluted Immortal Spirit, was wailing in anguish.
Upon closer inspection, her beautiful appearance was gone, incredibly broken.
The palm of her left hand was missing, her right hand was burnt to just a layer of flesh, her lower body was nowhere to be found, and her torso was riddled with charred signs of ruin. Her face, resembling that of a demon, had only half remaining, covered in blood and flesh, making her roll on the ground, wailing miserably.
"Glug glug glug..."
The green flesh continuously squirmed over this Polluted Immortal Spirit’s body, seemingly trying to restore Aleye’s ravaged physique.
However, Aleye, possessing extremely powerful regenerative abilities, was completely unable to heal her wounds at this moment, or rather, the progress of recovery was minimal, rendering the madly writhing green flesh ineffective.
