Chapter 302
An empty square appeared before everyone, the ground paved with unknown metal, reflecting a cold light.
In the center of the square, a giant platform hovered in mid-air, radiating a mysterious and ancient aura.
On the platform, a figure stood proudly, shrouded in golden light, making it impossible to see their true face.
"Damn! What's going on? Has the final BOSS appeared?" The Interstellar Knight exclaimed, his hand already touching his weapon.
The Wind Elf lowered her head respectfully: "God of the Labyrinth."
"God of the Labyrinth?" Zhang Cheng repeated the name, an inexplicable sense of unease rising in his heart.
The golden light dissipated, revealing a tall and majestic figure.
He wore a gorgeous golden robe, a crown inlaid with gems on his head, and held a scepter radiating a sacred aura in his hand.
He looked down at everyone, his voice resounding through the square like a great bell: "Welcome to the final test! Only those who pass the test can leave here. Those who fail will be trapped here forever!"
"Trapped forever? This is too unfair!" The Interstellar Knight looked unhappy, "Brother Cheng, let me go up and have a fight with him! I don't believe he's that powerful!"
"Reckless guy!" Zhang Cheng grabbed him, "Understand the rules first, don't be impulsive!"
"Fear what! Just fight!" The Interstellar Knight shook off Zhang Cheng's hand and was about to rush forward.
"Shut up! Listen to me!" Zhang Cheng shouted sternly, "We know nothing about his abilities; acting rashly will only lead to suffering!"
Although the Interstellar Knight was a bit unconvinced, he still stopped.
The God of the Labyrinth revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "Young man, courage is commendable, but courage alone is not enough." He paused and continued, "The final test is very simple; defeat my guardian, and you can leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently... The ground cracked, a giant claw stretched out from the underground, and immediately after, a massive object slowly crawled out.
This guardian beast was the size of a small mountain, its entire body covered in thick scales, flashing with a metallic luster.
It opened its gaping maw, revealing sharp fangs, letting out a deafening roar, and a fishy stench rushed toward them.
Everyone was shaken by this momentum and retreated repeatedly.
"Holy crap! Is this thing too big?!" The Interstellar Knight couldn't help but curse, but gripped his weapon tighter.
"Just fight!" Before Zhang Cheng could stop him, the Interstellar Knight had already rushed out like a cannonball, his energy sword drawing a dazzling light and hacking fiercely at the beast's leg.
"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the energy sword was actually bounced back!
The beast's scales were incredibly hard, and the Interstellar Knight's attack couldn't cause any damage at all.
"Just this?" The beast glanced at the Interstellar Knight with disdain, its massive claw swinging fiercely, directly slapping the Interstellar Knight away.
"Knight!" The Light Messenger exclaimed, hurriedly casting a healing spell.
Seeing this, the Nebula Sage also acted immediately, casting various spells as if they were free, but these spells hit the beast like a tickle and were completely ineffective.
The beast roared to the sky, a powerful shockwave swept over, and the Nebula Sage was also shaken away.
"Is this thing made of iron?" The Interstellar Knight struggled to crawl up, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Its defense is too strong; conventional attacks are completely ineffective," the Nebula Sage said with a grave expression.
The Light Messenger asked anxiously: "Then what do we do? We are no match for it at all!"
Zhang Cheng's brows locked in a frown, his gaze fixed on the beast, searching for its weakness.
Suddenly, he noticed the beast's eyes; those giant eyes, although filled with malice, seemed a bit dull and lacked agility.
"Eyes!" Zhang Cheng felt a move in his heart, "Its weakness might be its eyes!"
"Everyone, focus attacks on its eyes!" Zhang Cheng shouted.
Hearing this, everyone acted immediately, various attacks greeting the beast's eyes... "Wait!
" Zhang Cheng suddenly shouted, his gaze locked on the red light flashing deep in the beast's eyes.
"Wait!" Zhang Cheng shouted, his gaze locked on the red light flashing deep in the beast's eyes.
"There seems to be something in its eyes!"
Hearing this, everyone paused their attacks.
The Nebula Sage narrowed his eyes, activating some kind of scanning analysis function.
"Holy crap, it really is! That thing looks like a control core!"
"So, this beast is actually... a puppet?" The Interstellar Knight scratched his head; he had almost exhausted himself just now, and it turned out this thing was remotely controlled?
He instantly felt like a blockhead.
"Never mind that for now, attack the core!" Zhang Cheng made a prompt decision.
Rather than attacking those ridiculously thick scales, it's better to take out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Everyone adjusted their attack targets, energy beams, magic missiles, and even the Light Messenger's holy light concentrated on bombing that red core.
The beast struggled frantically but couldn't shake off the control.
Finally, after the red core flickered for a while, it extinguished completely.
The massive body collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the dust settled, an illusory figure appeared before everyone.
It was the God of the Labyrinth.
He looked gratified: "Congratulations, you have passed the final test. Your courage, wisdom, and teamwork are admirable."
"Finally passed! This broken labyrinth, I've finally made it through!" The Interstellar Knight sat on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.
The God of the Labyrinth smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a light gate appeared before everyone.
"This is the exit to the outside world, good luck."
Everyone filed out and found themselves in a vast, boundless starry sky.
Under their feet, it was no longer the stone path of the labyrinth, but a strangely shaped spaceship.
Zhang Cheng walked to the spaceship's console, took a deep breath, and started the engine.
"Let's go!"
The spaceship vibrated slightly, but the engine emitted an unsettling "click" sound... "Uh... Boss, this sound..." The Interstellar Knight pointed at the flickering energy indicator light, his voice trembling slightly.
