A few days ago, the captain of the Rudra familia was arranged by Evilus to attack the Astraea familia.
Although he didn't know why he was arranged to use the Kaenseki to blow up the floor and bury the Astraea familia, this was also an opportunity.
Maybe after completing the mission, he could become a senior cadre of the Evilus.
A few days ago, the monster controlled by Jura Halmer discovered their tracks, and then they easily killed it in the battle.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Evilus no longer sent out monsters to monitor the Astraea familia.
Anyway, if they want to return to the ground, they must go through this road.
Jura had already prepared the trap required by his superiors on this road, and now he was just waiting for them to come to him on their own accord.
Finally, he discovered the girls' figures slowly appearing in front of him.
"Hahaha, they're finally here?"
Jura hid behind the Evilus members with a wild laugh on his face. He observed Akira and the girls for a few seconds. Then, he and a few others began to retreat.
"But I don't intend to die in the dungeon with you, the icons of justice. Hahahaha, just bury you here with these garbage!"
The two sides stopped at a distance of several dozen meters.
Although Akira was at the end, he could see the so-called Evilus, which numbered about thirty or forty people.
But in his perception, these people were in a state of confusion inside. And although their eyes were filled with fanaticism towards Evilus, there seemed to be a hint of fear as well.
'It seems that those guys still like to use their own people as cannon fodder like before. I don't know what these people are thinking.' Akira thought to himself.
The people of Evilus have blocked the passage, which is the only way to the ground. If they want to return to the surface world, they must defeat them.
Although Akira had participated in an operation to suppress Evilus before, he knew that there was no need to reason with these people and he could just kill them directly.
They have committed countless evils. As long as they are members of Evilus for one day, they will be members of Evilus for the rest of their lives. Death is their only destination.
Although most of these people were Lv. 1 and Lv. 2, with only one Lv. 3 at the highest level, Akira still felt a strong sense of uneasiness, just like the crazy behavior of animals before an earthquake.
With insight far beyond those of others and the perception ability brought by the huge magic power, Akira looked around and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of heat sources hidden in the surrounding environment.
Akira thought, 'Sure enough, there are a lot of Kaensekis buried here. There must be some trap nearby.'
Putting away the backpack on his shoulder, Akira stood beside Alise and whispered, "Everyone, there are a lot of Kaensekis nearby. When the battle begins, don't stay too far away from me. Leave these people to me first."
Although it is possible to use a magic item to directly return everyone to the ground, it is not a good thing to reveal that the Astraea familia has this item now.
Without asking Akira why he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to fight alone, the girls who believed in Akira from the bottom of their hearts responded to him in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll leave these people to you."
"Be careful, Akira."
"Don't worry, we will protect ourselves."
"You...are indeed Evilus, right?" Alise's tone was very calm.
Although she already knew the other party's identity, she couldn't help but want to confirm it one last time.
After all, what she held in her hand was the sharp blade representing justice—the sword of justice belonging to the goddess of justice, which would never be stained with the blood of innocent people.
"Hahahaha! You lowly women from Astraea's familia, today is your doom!"
As the only Level 3 member of the remaining Evilus, he was now screaming like a mad beast that had lost its mind. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with uncontrollable anger and hatred.
Because he knew very well that being left behind to block the Astraea familia from moving forward would be equivalent to death.
However, in order to realize the long-cherished wish of their Evilus, what would it matter even if they had to sacrifice their precious lives?
Moreover, their god once said personally that as long as this operation could be successfully completed, he would resurrect this most important member no matter what.
Thinking of this, an almost insane and fanatical smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
"Hahahahahaha... Are you naive enough to think that the enemy is only us? That's simply stupid!"
The man laughed wildly, his face full of contempt and ridicule for the other party's ignorance.
Because he was convinced of his victory, and because he wanted to delay time, he not only wanted to destroy these women physically, but also intended to give them the heaviest and most extreme humiliation and blow from a spiritual perspective.
"Open your ears and listen carefully. There are five chambers of commerce and twenty-two mercenary groups."
"In addition, there are many other forces involved, and even people in the guild are secretly assisting us."
"The darkness has never really disappeared. It has always been lurking in the dark, but you are too ignorant to notice it."
The man paused, and scanned the crowd in front of him with malicious eyes, and continued, "Astraea familia, this place will be your demise today!"
"In this bottomless underground city, the original abyss of the world, is where you will be buried!"
The Evilus members were roaring, and their voices were echoing in the closed passage.
"Really? There are so many enemies?" Upon hearing this, Alise looked helpless as if she was in distress.
"We can settle the score with them when we get back. The most important thing now is to make their plot fail."
After hearing Akira say that there was a Kaenseki nearby, Lyra had to put away the secret bomb and took out her weapon.
"What a boring, yet cruel world. But it is precisely because of this that I joined the familia of justice and searched for a ray of light in this dark world." Kaguya looked upwards, her eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.
