I Got 999 Level With One Cut

While Riko Hasegawa was maintaining the group flight skill, she kept using the flame burst skill to blow up a tunnel above her head. Loli Merlin was busy using precise wind magic to push away the debris and dust that had been blown up from the top of her head. As for whether or not these things that were falling towards the city below would hit the head of an unlucky person, it was clearly not something Black Haired Great Devil Instructor was considering.    

"I also don't know which guy built the city so deep..."    

"We are almost there." Riko blinked her eyes. In her mouth was still that piece of sugar that was originally taken out by Meiko to comfort Edina.    

But in reality, even if Riko did not say it, Loli Merlin could still feel it. As a Great Devil Instructor, her trust in magic would always exceed her eyes. Although the darkness above her head seemed endless, according to the image sent back by the Eye of the Sorcerer, there were only a few hundred meters left to the ground at this depth.    

Edina was somewhat uneasy as she held Carol's hand. "The earth is the territory of giant monsters that humans cannot defeat." This was a theory that had been passed down for thousands of years and was widely recognized and accepted. This kind of instinctive thought that was almost engraved in the depths of her heart and her natural desire for the sky, earth and river mixed together, making her feel the legendary scene of the earth that was about to appear in front of her eyes. At the same time, she was filled with anticipation and panic.    

The harder rock layers were gradually replaced by soft soil. Edina could also smell that the air was gradually becoming moist. Finally, at a certain moment, dazzling sunlight suddenly came.    

She and Carol subconsciously closed their eyes. In fact, Riko and the others also felt a little uncomfortable because of the sudden change from a dark place to a bright environment.    

She felt as if she had landed on a soft and damp ground. The dew under her clothes slightly wet her clothes. The air was filled with a fragrance that she had never experienced before. The gentle breeze caressed her face.    

"It's fine. Open your eyes."    

Edina heard Riko's voice.    

She hesitated and slightly opened her eyes.    

The star was rising from the horizon and the light it gave off was still somewhat glaring. It waved its hand and scattered the golden light all over the ground. In the far east stood a few tall mountains, and the peaks were covered by clouds. One could vaguely see the pure white snow there.    

The grass with dew hanging on it swayed in the wind. The clear river water washed the stones in the stream until they were extremely smooth.    

And right above their heads, in the deep and distant endless sky.    

No one could describe the astonishing vastness of the enormous blue dome with words, pictures, or sounds. Edina didn't move. She stared at the sky, which couldn't be any more ordinary. It was as if something in the sky was sucking her soul away bit by bit.    

"I had the same reaction when I entered the first mission world with Master God."    

Meiko seemed to have thought of something and her tone was full of memories.    

"The people here have not seen the sky for dozens of generations. In the underground city, the furthest distance they could see was the top of the cave, which was hundreds of meters high. And the endless sky that no one knows where the end is. It looks like a huge beast that wants to devour people..."    

They are lying on the grass, enjoying the fresh air that they have not had for a long time. Almost every corner of the underground city was emitting the lingering smell of machine oil. The only difference was the concentration. This smell seemed to have become the background sound of the entire story. A few days passed... Everyone was used to it.    

Edina picked up a handful of soil from the ground. The soil was still moist. Hence, it was especially soft. She stared blankly at it, letting the soil fall between her fingers. The inventor girl looked at the surface world that was full of vitality and peace. She still found it hard to believe.    

"Are these all true?"    

"Of course." Loli Merlin answered on Riko's behalf.    

Edina's eyes were still filled with confusion and surprise. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and thus asked a question.    

"Didn't the books say that terrifying giant monsters rule this place? That was why humans moved underground with Holy Spirit Watt's help. Then where are they? "    

" I used magic to search a large area with a radius of dozens of kilometers. I even found a few dozen meters underground. But, not to mention the huge monsters, I didn't even find their footprints. There are no bones underground, and there are no traces of their existence on the ground."    

The black-haired Great Devil Instructor sighed, then spread his hands.    

"In other words, the legendary giant monster might not exist at all."    

"I see..."    

The inventor girl blinked her eyes. She did not pursue the matter, nor did she think about why the ancestors would fabricate such a non-existent creature. She wanted everyone to move underground. On the contrary, her tone was surprisingly firm. She said one sentence.    

"Then, thank you all. Please send me back."    

Loli Merlin asked doubtfully, "You can totally leave with us. The thing called internal combustion engine that you invented is quite interesting. There should be quite a number of people who would like it."    

Edina shook her head.    

"No need."    

"Why?"    

"Under our feet, in the nine cities deep within the earth, there are still over ten million people living there."    

In response, the inventor girl pointed at the ground beneath her feet.    

"None of these ten million people have ever seen the distant mountains or heard of a stream washing the reefs. Touch the dew on the grass, or stare at the sky. Don't you think this is a very sad thing? "    

Edina patted the dirt on her clothes and stood up. She opened her arms as if she wanted to embrace the entire world.    

"I have found my new goal. I want to tell everyone that all of this exists."    

Loli Merlin looked at her figure and vaguely saw the explorer who was in the flickering flames announcing to everyone that there was light above. Thus, she could not help but ask.    

"Even if you are treated as a traitor and a liar, just like the person who was burned to death earlier today?"    

"Those things are fine." The inventor girl laid back on the ground, "But I cannot tolerate myself not doing anything after seeing all of this."    

She gently rubbed her sister's head. However, her sister didn't understand what she was saying, so she opened her eyes wide.    

"However, if possible, please take Carol away."
