“From this point forward, all of you will follow my orders. I've said my piece. Anyone have a problem with that?” Omega, a captain of the Direct army, positioned himself at the entrance of the maze, crossing his arms over his chest, and exuded an air of arrogance as he looked down upon the adventurers and players gathered before him.

Upon hearing his words and witnessing his condescending demeanor, a wave of displeasure swept through both the adventurers and players alike.

However, fearful of Omega's overwhelming aura, none of the individuals present dared to utter a word of dissent. They were well aware of the dire consequences that awaited those who defied him. The harrowing experiences they had endured within the treacherous confines of the underground maze had instilled a deep appreciation for their own lives.

Observing their submissive silence, Omega's expression contorted into a smug grin of satisfaction. He relished the power he held over them, knowing that any hint of resistance would be swiftly crushed, serving as a grim reminder to others of the consequences they would face should they dare to oppose him.

“Excellent. Should you manage to eliminate the succubus, you will be generously rewarded with abundant benefits!” Omega's applause resonated through the air as he wore a deceitful smile, his words laced with empty promises. The prolonged duration of their expedition within the depths of the underground maze had left Omega increasingly agitated, as the completion of their mission continued to elude them.

“Now that we have such a sizable group collaborating, progress should accelerate,” Omega begrudgingly acknowledged. His disdain for the adventurers and outsiders was undeniable, but given the dire circumstances, he had no choice but to utilize their assistance. “If I fail to eliminate the Eldest Princess before daybreak, my own life will be at stake!” Omega's thoughts raced with the impending threat. However, just as he contemplated the situation, an unforeseen twist unfolded before his eyes.

A surge of energy pulsed through the area, accompanied by a dazzling display of white light. Omega's eyes widened in disbelief. “Spatial teleportation?” he exclaimed, his voice laced with astonishment.

Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to comprehend their sudden displacement. Were they being transported to a new section of the maze, or were they being expelled from the underground labyrinth altogether?

The latter possibility filled him with dread, as it would unquestionably mark their mission as a failure. The consequences of their failure loomed ominously, with cruel punishment and a painful demise awaiting them outside. Omega's anxiety reached its peak as beads of sweat formed on his brow.

However, regardless of his mounting nervousness, the teleportation process had already begun. In a resounding burst, everyone vanished instantaneously.

A while back.

With a buzzing sound, Yaeger and the others appeared in an infinitely large white space.

“Is this another trap maze?” Yunuen asked as she looked around.

“I'm not sure,” Alicia replied while shaking her head. “I've never heard of anything like this before.”

The underground maze had been in existence long before the empire was established, and the royal family only knew a small portion of its size and complexity.

Any unknown area was generally called…

“This is probably a hidden area,” Alicia said softly.

Little Fairy chimed in, “It reminds me of the white dimension we encountered when we first entered the game.”

Yaeger expanded her aura to scout the surroundings but found nothing. “Strange. It seems like there's absolutely nothing here.”

“Everyone, stay cautious,” Yaeger warned. The apparent safety of the area made her more suspicious, believing there might be a hidden trap waiting for them.

“Normal traps can be handled easily. With my luck, I can definitely avoid them. However, I'm more concerned about illusionary traps that don't cause physical damage,” she thought to herself.

To her, illusionary traps were the most challenging to deal with. They remained undetectable until she fell into them, making them incredibly dangerous.

“Something is approaching!” Alicia's eyes widened as she peered ahead.

Yaeger and the rest turned their attention and felt the surge of potent spatial energy. Without delay, over a dozen figures materialized before them.

“What kind of place is this?” Omega questioned, his confusion evident as he surveyed the vast expanse of white space.

Suddenly, a player's frantic voice rang out, “It's the Black-hearted Princess!” The announcement caused a wave of unease to wash over the others. Their gazes fixated on Yaeger, and a shiver ran down their spines.

What were the odds of encountering the dreaded Black-hearted Princess, the Demon, in a realm filled with endless mazes? The adventurers and players alike were taken aback, their reactions somewhat delayed, but their expressions and thoughts mirrored each other.

The black-armored soldiers, though slower in their approach, wore expressions of delight rather than fear as they made their way through the crowd. They knew that wherever Yeager was, the Eldest Princess Alicia would be by her side. It was a comforting thought, and as they scanned the area, their eyes fell upon the captivating figure of Alicia, radiating beauty and allure.

“The succubus!” The adventurers and players, too, became aware of Alicia's presence at that moment. Unlike the soldiers who showed joy, they were overcome with shock and terror.

Having resided in the outer district and occasionally encountering Black-hearted Princess, they had developed an innate fear of her. The mere sight of her captivating form caused fear to grip their hearts, for they knew the power she possessed.

“The succubus is really accompanying her. It seems impossible to defeat her,” a player whispered.

“Yeah, you're right. It feels hopeless!”

“Wait a minute. There are so many of us, and those soldiers are incredibly strong. Maybe we stand a chance!”

“Now that you mention it, perhaps we can do it!”

Whispers began to circulate among the crowd, and gradually, the players became more confident. Witnessing the immense strength of the soldiers, who were like Level thirty elite monsters, gave them hope. Especially Omega, their leader, who was virtually a freak.

Despite her power, could she possibly overcome six elite monsters together?

That's what the adventurers contemplated as well.

As their fear of Yaeger diminished, a sense of greed flickered in the eyes of the adventurers. The atmosphere grew tense, and both sides were ready for confrontation, with killing intent permeating the air.

Omega was on the verge of giving the command to attack when Yaeger swiftly swung her weapon, [Sunscorch], creating a trail of fire on the ground. Suddenly, flames erupted, engulfing the immediate area.

Yaeger fixed her gaze upon the adventurers and players, her voice filled with grim determination. “Anyone who dares to cross this line will meet their end without mercy.”

She chose to withhold her actions until she could make sense of the situation at hand, 'This timing is too perfect. Something feels off about this whole situation!'

As Omega felt the overwhelming aura emanating from the flames, shock washed over him. His previous confidence wavered as he realized the immense power possessed by Yaeger. He quickly reassessed the situation, 'This scourge is incredibly powerful! She might possess at least seventy percent of my own strength!'

“Princess, right? Hand over the succubus and leave. Otherwise, you'll regret it.” Omega tried to intimidate Yaeger and force her to give up Alicia, knowing that a fight would result in heavy casualties for both sides. With their superior numbers, he thought it was the obvious choice.

But then Yaeger surprised him.

“Ah~” she stretched out her arms and pulled the defenseless Alicia into her embrace. Then, she glared at Omega with a serious expression and spoke in a calm but firm tone, “I'll be taking her with me now. Who dares to stop me?”
