Who says the Magic Cyber ​​Police can't overthrow the Heavenly Gang?

"Hmph! Haa! You bug, let me go..."

The irritating buzzing and the fluttering of the flies continued unabated. Holnet looked down at the shadowy figures below with disdain, then reached into his ears and stuffed two earplugs in.

"Phew, it's quiet now..."

She relaxed her brow, her hands gripping the rope loosened slightly, and she slid down faster.

If there's a path in this cave, it's likely at the bottom. Unfortunately, Zote has been toyed with by the fly monster, tossed around without even landing, so Holnet can't determine how deep the bottom is for the time being and can only go down and explore it himself.

Sinking into darkness was like sinking into water, slowly applying pressure to Holnet. She stretched out her hands, letting the rope wrapped around her waist quickly lower her down. With a backward sway, she plunged the hidden blades on her wrists into the cave wall behind her. At the same time, the blades that flicked from her heels also accurately pierced the cave wall.

Even through her earplugs, she could faintly hear Zote's cries and the buzzing of the magic fly monsters echoing not far away. Not wanting to get involved in this troubling battle, she flipped over and, like a spider, silently descended step by step, clinging tightly to the cave wall.

Before long, she had passed Zote's height and, using the light, glanced at the mighty Zote, who was utterly powerless against the demon fly monster's maw. She couldn't help but silently complain to herself:

"This guy is getting completely humiliated, yet he's acting like he's about to win..."

Holnet quickly climbed down, making the very rational choice not to save it, since Zote had said from the beginning not to save it, and Holnet respected its own fate.

As for whether Zote has called for help... well, she's wearing earplugs and can't hear anything anyway.

As the sound receded from above his head, Holnet breathed a sigh of relief, shook his limbs slightly, and, leaving only a hidden blade, quickly slid to the bottom of the cave, wetting the wall with it.

She lightly placed her feet on the ground, glanced up, estimated the height to be about thirty meters, then grabbed the rope, swung it, and pulled it back into her cloak.

Holnett squeezed his eyes shut, and under the influence of the dark divine power, his pupils slowly dilated to their limit. Then he opened his eyes and looked around.

The dim environment came into view. It was somewhat like a passageway, with wide corridors in front and behind, and stone walls on both sides engraved with murals.

Holnett looked at the passageway ahead, where the huge boulder blocked the way. If he wanted to take a detour, he would have to go through the passage in front of him.

She took a few steps forward, leaned against the stone wall, and was about to lean into the passage to investigate when she suddenly felt the stone wall in her hands was soft. She turned her head and looked, and a chill ran down her spine.

Her gauntlet was pressed against the body of a demon fly monster, which seemed to awaken upon being pressed. It looked at her, its body suddenly flared up, its wings flapped wildly, and it opened its mandibles menacingly.

"Roar!!"

Holnet reacted instantly, advancing instead of retreating. He thrust out his hidden blade, plunging it deep into the fly monster's body. Then, his body twisted like a rope, and with a flick of the blade, he cleaved the fly monster, which was about the length of a human arm, in two.

Amidst the piercing screams of the fly monsters, she took a few steps back, avoiding the splattering blood. She exhaled and was about to wipe her hidden blade when she suddenly noticed that another fly monster had opened its eyes at her feet.

Holnett glanced around, surrounded by dozens of flying demonic flies, frowned slightly, and muttered:

"Not good..."

To facilitate movement, the swords she carries are relatively short. Even if she could combine a folding stick and a short spear to form a long spear, it wouldn't be very suitable for slashing. Thrusting is not ideal against such fast-moving monsters.

Perhaps, they could use their mouthparts to fight themselves...

Holnet hesitated for a moment about whether to leave quickly to find Latis, when he suddenly noticed that the monster fly that had been toying with Zot above his head had also flown down.

Wait, Zote...

Holnett's gaze fell on the mysterious creature's hard bone helmet, and his eyes lit up instantly.

This guy survived being bitten by the fly monster for so long without dying; his skull must be really hard, right?

Thinking of this, she took a step forward, twisted her body, and charged straight up, shouting at Zuo Te, who was still cursing:

"Bring it to you!"

……

"……what's going on?"

Latis listened intently to the sounds coming from the bottom of the cave, scratched his head in confusion, and exchanged glances with the others.

"Uh..." Geeta wasn't sure either. She recalled her previous experience fighting alongside her teacher and said uncertainly:

"Is it possible... that the teacher is fighting a monster?"

“It sounds like it,” Jennifer said, stroking her chin.

"We don't know the situation down there yet, should we go down and take a look?"

Latis pondered for a moment, glanced at the girls behind him, and thought that these little ones probably wouldn't be able to handle a close-quarters fight in such a confined space, so he said:

"I'll go down and take a look by myself. You guys wait for me here."

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Latis stood up, controlled the magic around him, and cast a "Feather Fall" spell on himself. This kind of status spell does not cause too much magic fluctuation like an attack spell, so it will not have a great impact on the environment.

He leaped into the air, and under the effect of the "Feather Fall Technique," he fell at a steady, moderate speed.

The sounds of fighting and strange collisions came from below. Latis looked down curiously and, through his "dark vision," saw a chaotic scene with roughly a dozen monsters. Fortunately, Holnet seemed to be able to handle it.

However, the further he fell, the stranger Latis's expression became, because he seemed to still hear Zote's somewhat incoherent curse amidst the muffled sounds of the battle...

A moment later, he landed on the ground and stood there stunned by the chaotic scene.

There, Holnet held the rope of a short spear in one hand and Zote in the other. The spear was stuck low into the cave wall several meters high, and Holnet, as if suspended by wires, would occasionally jump up, run a few steps sideways along the cave wall, and then grab Zote from her hand and smash it flatten several flying monsters in the air.

"The great Zot... will never... surrender..."

"Zote beat him to a pulp... Lord of the Flies, ugh..."

"Stinky, bug... Put me down..."

Zote, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, shouted incoherently. However, Holnet had earplugs in her ears, and she was probably listening to some exciting music in her head and couldn't hear Zote's shouts at all!

"Hollnitt is completely absorbed in his art..."

As Latis watched the demonic flies raining down on him, his head began to buzz. He couldn't help but squat down, cover his face, and let out a long sigh.

……

……

"...That's how it was back then. Well, I have to say, this thing called Zote is actually quite handy to use as a hammer..."

Holding the ball of light, Jennifer leaned into the passageway and heard Holnet's explanation to the team members. Her brow twitched, and she couldn't help but show a tense expression.

"Uh……"

Latis crouched down, glanced at Zote who had fainted on the ground, and took a deep breath with a headache.

The creature appeared to be about half a person's height, wrapped in a dirty, tattered cloak. Its head was a strange bony structure with two haphazardly growing curved horns on top, each with a small section of damage.

"Hollnitt, look what you've done, you've broken off someone's horn."

Latis couldn't help but look at Holnet and complain:

"Although it looks like a hammer, you can't actually use it as a hammer."

“It was broken to begin with…” Holnet looked innocent upon hearing this, glanced at Geeta who was wiping her gauntlets, and said:

“I was very gentle, Geeta, you agree, right?”

“Right…right?” Geeta paused, looked up and met the teacher's gaze, then quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right.”

"I don't believe it..."

Latis muttered something, and looking at Zote's appearance, he inexplicably frowned slowly.

He touched the Dream Nail, pondered for a moment, then shook his head, picked up Zote's horn, and examined it.

"It looks kind of familiar..."

Latis whispered, gripping the two horns with both hands, and turned Zote upside down, then suddenly paused.

"Isn't this a hand exerciser?"

He quickly shook his head to clear his mind of these nonsensical thoughts, searching for the flash of inspiration that had just crossed his mind. After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Wait...this is..."

Just then, Leafa and Snyder's voices came from behind. It turned out that the girls who had run to explore the back passage had returned.

"Master, Grandmaster, we're back!"

"Master, there are some treasures in that passageway behind!"

"A treasure?" Zot in Latis's hand suddenly opened his eyes, struggled, and shouted in a deep, booming voice:

"That's Lord Zote's spoils of war after defeating the Fly King! No one is allowed to touch it!"

Chapter 436 Underground Arena

"Trash, trash, all trash!"

"This kind of trash doesn't even deserve to be called a treasure! Hah, short-sighted humans!"

Zote, clutching its shell-shaped wooden spikes, jumped off a wooden crate, clumsily hung the spikes back on its waist, glanced back at the crate, muttered some underground dialect curses, and kicked the crate hard.

"..."

Without batting an eye, it withdrew its foot, limped back to Latis and the others, crossed its arms and leaned against the wall, secretly swinging its foot as it said:

"Although you interrupted the great Zote's battle with the Fly King, given your level, you're just the right match for these trash. Go, consider it a reward from the great Zote!"

“This is really annoying…” Jennifer turned to Latis and asked in a low voice, “Latis, shall we take it down?”

"Don't be so murderous! Just smash its mouth if it's so foul-mouthed. The grievances will be settled..."

Latis shook his head helplessly, glanced at Zote, pondered for a moment, and slowly walked towards the box that Zote had just rummaged through.

This Zote, whose race is unknown, claims to be a knight, yet the weapon he carries appears to be completely harmless. What's even more puzzling is that the weapon has never shown any signs of impact. Otherwise, Zote is powerful enough to beat every monster he encounters with his fists, or he has never struck anything with that short thorn.

Based on what he had witnessed before, Latis felt it should be the latter.

Upon hearing that there were also several knights in Latis's party, Zote became extremely annoyed and put on a disdainful look, saying things like, "Your knights are just child's play. Only the great Zote is the real knight in this world," which almost made Jennifer's blood pressure rise so high that she chopped him in half on the spot.

Aside from the inexplicable factor of being foul-mouthed, Zote is not harmful at all, or rather, it has no ability to do anything harmful. Latis had already observed that this guy couldn't even hold a wooden splinter properly. If it weren't for its relatively hard head, it would probably have died countless times by now.

Of course, his reason for wanting to continue observing Zote was not because it was a mysterious neutral creature, but because the feeling Zote's strange bony head gave him reminded him of something—a fragment of a container.

Yes, it's the kind of bone fragments that knights of the Church of Light almost always use when practicing container magic. Its purpose is to enhance the intensity of the light power they can contain when casting container magic.

Could it be that Zote's bony skull was also a fragment of some kind of container?

Unfortunately, there's no way to remove its head for research... Latis isn't that violent, so we'll just have to observe it for now.

Furthermore, he hadn't yet figured out what abilities a creature would possess if it were composed of fragments of a container. Would it be able to bear divine power? Or would it eventually become something like "Radiance awakening within me"...

Latis shook his head, dismissing these inexplicable thoughts, and then looked into the box.

In short, let's first consider where the "nodes" on the path of getting lost are.
