Lotcar pushed with all his limbs, even though the blade did not fall, he distanced himself from the giant chopping blade, vigilantly staring around.

However, the gigantic robot showed no signs of activity, as if time had stopped, maintaining the motion of the blade swinging down.

”What’s going on? Why did it suddenly stop?”

Qiuye was very puzzled, she was already prepared to leap off Lotcar’s back and engage in battle, yet the robot just stopped like that.

All the members turned to look at Yang Yu, seeing that Yang Yu was equally baffled.

Could it be...

Just as Yang Yu thought of a possibility, a deep voice began to echo in the massive Underground Maze:

”Announcement! Announcement!

Someone has already opened the doors of the Holy Temple.

Those who are strategizing, please keep it up.

”

Yang Yu felt the voice was somewhat familiar, and upon careful recollection, this was the voice of that bartender robot.

The voice not only spread throughout the Hall of History where Yang Yu and his team were strategizing, but also reached others who were strategizing in other Halls of History.

Walking on the seventh floor, both Dragon God’s Might and Red Blood Rose looked up simultaneously, they had just grasped some hints on how to strategize this floor, and the announcement came so suddenly.

Gordon fiddled with the smart phone in his hand, smiling at Glantham beside him:

”I can’t believe we’ve just arrived here, and someone has already reached the final stage.”

”That’s not important.” Glantham tied up the person they found, handing it to Gushan for safekeeping, ”What’s important is that guy.”

”I know. I’m just worried whether this Underground Maze will suddenly eject us.” Gordon said.

The question from Gordon quickly found an answer, as the voice continued:

”If someone successfully pulls out the Holy Sword, it will not affect everyone’s strategy.

Perhaps this could be a good thing for everyone.

As long as someone pulls out the Holy Sword, everyone can leave this Underground Maze at any time.

However, before leaving, please think carefully.

Once you leave this Underground Maze, the keys and square boxes you possess will be reclaimed, and it’s impossible to come here a second time.

That’s all.

Please continue to strategize within this Underground Maze.

”

Meanwhile, in another Hall of History.

Upon hearing the announcement and observing the panting companions, the black-haired elf dressed as a Magician, Black Reina, secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Her fingers swiftly moved in mid-air, weaving a splendid Magic Array, targeting the massive steam-spraying train robot before her.

Due to the pause caused by the announcement, the monsters in the Underground Maze paused, and this was a perfect opportunity for attack.

Bai Jin thought the same, utilizing this time to focus on weaving a powerful Attack Magic.

Since it was unclear whether the giant robot would take damage during the pause state, Bai Jin decided to strike when the giant robot started moving again.

Yang Yu had already jumped off Lotcar early, seemingly uninterested in the fact that the Holy Sword was about to be taken,

”There’s nothing particularly noteworthy mentioned in the announcement.

Don’t overthink things.

Concentrate entirely on that giant robot.

We need to cooperate with each other to completely defeat that massive robot.”

It’s impossible to say Yang Yu truly doesn’t care about the Holy Sword being taken.

He knows full well, at this point it’s absolutely too late.

Some things can’t happen like a game, waiting for the protagonist to act.

After making the decision to refresh the Underground Maze and collect book pages, Yang Yu also mentally prepared for someone else taking the Holy Sword.

This world doesn’t revolve around one person, and an individual’s abilities are very limited.

Even if Yang Yu’s abilities now rank among the world’s top, he still can’t easily one-shot the oversized robot that appeared.

Let the Holy Sword be taken by someone else!

After all, before arriving here, the inscription made it clear that it’s not necessarily a Hero who can wield the Holy Sword.

Perhaps, taking the Holy Sword from someone else’s hands and using it for himself is not impossible.

The chopping blade of the gigantic humanoid robot landed heavily in front of Yang Yu, splashing numerous sandstones.

Yang Yu opened his Shield and released Illusion Shield, effortlessly blocking the incoming sandstones, and after figuring everything out, he felt much more relaxed, able to focus entirely on strategizing.

Just...

Yang Yu truly doesn’t know who obtained the Holy Sword? Could it be Heroic Warrior Volcrix?

...

Maze of Hero’s Trial.

A massive door opens towards Heroic Warrior Volcrix.

Volcrix was covered in scars, several wounds still bleeding, dust-covered, appearing slightly disheveled.

The red cape he once treasured was now thoroughly shredded into a rag.

He loosened his collar, tearing off the tattered cape, tossing it aside.

He no longer needed that thing.

It was time to say goodbye to an immature, childish self completely.

Recalling all his actions up until now, Volcrix felt that his former life was like a clown’s performance.

Arrogant to the extreme.

Believing that just because he was a Hero, he had the right to act recklessly. It was exactly like a villain from the stories he’d read. Knowing nothing, only causing trouble for the protagonist.

He was not the protagonist of this world.

Just someone with slightly better luck, a mere mortal coincidentally chosen by the goddess.

A shameless person, selfish and grandstanding.

Yet, even such a person has things to aspire towards....

Volcrix raised his head, seeing a golden pathway unfurl in the vast Darkness.

At the end of the road, a beam of holy light shone down, casting a shadow on a sword blade gleaming with unique radiance.

Priest Tara quickly ran to Volcrix’s side for Healing, ”That last move was really too...”

Tara’s words were interrupted by a sweet voice, ”Truly worthy of Lord Volcrix, that last move was incredibly suave, I never thought Lord Volcrix could use such a move to resolve the enemy.”

”Eena.” Volcrix voiced the orange-haired girl who was speaking.

Princess of Sethis Kingdom, Eena Setis, showed a delighted smile: ”Is there anything you need, Lord Volcrix?”

”Next time, don’t use such a sycophantic tone when speaking to me.”

”Hmm?” Eena tilted her head, showing an awkward yet polite smile.

Hapi flew down beside Volcrix, and Volcrix gently placed his hand on Yixuan’s head, although Yixuan was also very exhausted, he still showed a lively smile to Volcrix.

Volcrix spoke: ”To reach this point today.

Is largely due to your efforts.

I hope you can forgive my past whims... and hope you can understand my whims sometimes in the future.

Tara, I know what you want to say.

But sometimes, risks have to be taken.

Falling way behind others, I can’t afford to dawdle anymore.

But rest assured, I do value my life a lot too.

”

Volcrix said this while stepping forward, setting foot on the golden path.

Tara put down his hand, ceasing the Healing, along with Eena and Yixuan, watched Volcrix head towards the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword looks no different from a regular longsword, yet its surface is surrounded by a layer of golden Holy Light that makes it difficult to approach.

The pain endured while walking here goes without saying.

However, everything was worth it...

Volcrix’s hand gently grasped the hilt of the Holy Sword, noticing small engraved words at the base of the hilt,

”Clo...

Ro...

Chi....

Is this your name?

Look forward to working with you, Holy Sword Clochi.”

Volcrix pulled out the sword embedded in the ground, raising it above his head effortlessly, without any hindrance.

Thus...

Perhaps, he could get a little closer to the self he idealized...

A golden light flashed across the Holy Sword, and a speck of gold appeared in Heroic Warrior Volcrix’s eyes.
