Chapter 574 The Fourth Level Of The Labyrinth



After a few more hours, the Secret Realm finally reached its third day!

Viktoria and Larissa were working together in that underground area while Elke was traveling through the forests of the Secret Realm, heading for the home of the strongest in this place.

Meanwhile, two more youths died here, resulting in financial losses and gains for the gamblers following the results of this event.

Amidst all this, Lothur had finally passed the third level of the labyrinth and was now nearing the entrance to the fourth and penultimate level on his way to his goal.

He looked at his status there and saw some improvements since the last level.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 15]

[STR: 240.2 -> 257.7]

[CON: 439 -> 443.5]

[DEX: 245 -> 259.9]

[AGI: 237.9 -> 248.8]

[INT: 135.6]

[PER: 239.9 -> 244.1]

[WIL: 189 -> 193.5]

[EVF: 1,524 -> 725]

But not only his attributes had evolved in those days. The monsters present in the levels of the labyrinth had elemental abilities that had helped him raise his elemental resistances and affinities in those hours of effort.

[Silver-grade poison resistance.]

[Progress: 72% -> 88%]

...

[Silver-grade flame resistance.]

[Progress: 10% -> 17%]

...

[Silver-grade ice resistance.]

[Progress: 15% -> 21%]

...

[Silver-grade wood resistance.]

[Progress: 3% -> 6%]

...

[Silver-grade darkness resistance.]

[Progress: 2% -> 3%]

He had encountered several spectres on the labyrinth level that he had just overcome and destroyed these beings. Luckily, some helped him raise some of Lothur\'s resistance to the element of darkness.

After that, the creatures in Lothur\'s path became a little fearful, for dealing with spectres was a hard thing that even the local beasts found tricky and kept their distance.

In any case, he had beaten them and eliminated most of the beings in his path, in some cases even collecting body parts from these beings, which had value to someone like him.

\'Time to enter the penultimate level...\' He pondered before setting one of his feet in that place, where he had already noticed several level 17 beings, stronger on average than those he had faced at the last level.

Seeing the first of these beings getting closer and closer to him, Lothur couldn\'t help but think about how difficult the last level of the maze would be.

\'Maybe I have to face some level 18 being...\' He considered before swallowing his saliva.

Lothur was already quite strong currently, but he was not confident in defeating someone of level 18.

He had only managed to overcome the previous level because he had used his EVF points to recover and absorbed more from the beasts he had faced in the previous hours.

Because of this, he thought he could overcome the fourth level of the labyrinth, where he would once again have the chance to use his lineage ability.

Through this, he intended to recover his injuries and reach the end of this challenge on the way to one of the leaves he was searching for.

But beating someone at level 18, even with the help of his regenerative and lineage skills, would not be easy!

He could rely on his Physique ability, but would a beast that beat him to the point where he activated his Physique allow him to recover?

It was unlikely!

In a situation where his Physique ability was activated, his enemy would probably kill him before he had a chance to recover. In that case, he couldn\'t count on that ability in this place!

Lothur then left this in his mind for him to sort out later and focused on the creatures in his path, already coming at him with their claws and teeth ready to hurt him.

These were level 17 creatures, so he had to be focused on facing them!

Deadly Aura!

He activated his ability to reduce the courage of his opponents as black flames appeared in his hands and around the Elemental Staff.

Lothur\'s eyes shone brightly, and then he fired at one of those creatures coming at him, intending to kill the intruder in this area.

After this shot, he used the Space Belt to teleport to the back of one of those opponents, a creature that looked like a giant ant.

With this move, as he appeared behind this individual, Lothur immediately directed his staff into the middle of the being\'s body as if this weapon were a spear.

Those beings were surprised by Lothur\'s blows since they had no information about this opponent who had killed or knocked all the opponents in his path unconscious.

With no information about him other than the feeling that he was dangerous because he had reached this level of the entire labyrinth, these creatures were shocked by his strength.

Lothur\'s laser vision was already so strong that after the previous shot, the beast he had aimed at had already died from it!

At the same time, after he hit the middle of the ant\'s body, the creature felt malicious energy invading its body, as it felt as if something was trying to push it away.

But Lothur\'s strength with the Elemental Staff was still too low to do anything like this to these creatures, so this ant had only felt a slight discomfort from this physical movement.

What really worried it was the dark energy already degrading its mental structures. At the same time, its fear of Lothur increased with its proximity to the Mortal Aura user.

Then, Lothur used one of the skills he used least.

One With Nature!

When he activated this skill, Lothur immediately felt his connection to the plant beings in the area, who were few but present in almost every corridor of the labyrinth.

That was not an offensive ability. But he was not using it to attack his opponents but to find his way to the end of the labyrinth.

That was something Lothur had done in previous mazes, avoiding beasts waiting in dead-end paths, always following the right path, eventually leading him to the end of whatever level he was at.

So while he put some of his attention into figuring out the way to the end of that area, he kept fighting the beasts in the surrounding area, moving after letting that ant suffer a bit from the ability of his second Soul Bone.

Gravity!

When one of the beasts was about to hit him, Lothur activated his last Soul Bone skill, having seen it with his special vision in advance, and raised the gravity in his surroundings.

That beast was pressed against the ground, narrowly missing its move against Lothur, while this young man moved into a defensive position to hold off the movements of the other opponents.

His defenses were stronger than the attack of each of those beings, so he didn\'t get hurt much. Soon after, he found spaces to weaken the initial group of enemies.

Assassin Code!

So Lothur would proceed through the fourth level of the labyrinth, facing beings at level 17, shocking each one of those beasts that didn\'t expect that someone so strong would appear to challenge them after so many years.
