Chapter 47: Sophia!
Night fell, but Flamebright City remained brilliantly lit. Inside the Adventurers' Guild, adventurers from all over clinked glasses, boasting about their various miraculous experiences in the labyrinth.
Hero Julius was among them. Although he was the second prince of Analeit, a person of high status, he didn't act aloof in front of the other adventurers. He raised his cup and drank heartily with everyone.
Suddenly, an adventurer burst in, his face pale with panic.
"Bad news! From the direction of the Elroe Labyrinth, a hundred thousand spider monsters are gathering!" the adventurer stammered.
"What?!" The other adventurers froze. A hundred thousand spider monsters? Even Hero Julius was momentarily stunned by that number.
But then he thought, Flamebright City was a major human city. The Pontiff of the Word of God religion, Dustin, and humanity's strongest mage, Ronandt, were both here.
They wouldn't just stand by and watch the city be destroyed by spider monsters. Besides, the massive Adventurers' Guild headquarters was located here, filled with powerful individuals.
Combined with the tens of thousands of human soldiers, they could kill as many spider monsters as came.
Thinking this, Julius calmed down. The Word of God and the Goddess Religion were the two major religions in this world.
Dustin, the Pontiff of the Word of God, could even be considered the strongest human. He possessed immortality; as long as humanity existed, he would not fall. What were a hundred thousand spider monsters in comparison?
The adventurers in the Guild, however, split into two factions. One group consisted of cowards.
