"Boom!" With a loud bang, a man in a black robe appeared in front of Saphir and Rimuru.

This suddenly appearing menacing man looked like an ordinary human being, but Saphir knew very well that this man was also a Tartan.

However, unlike the Tartan he had met before, this person was not a high-level Tartan, but a low-level Tartan who had practiced step by step from the bottom and was finally promoted to this level.

The story is very inspiring, but unfortunately, with the death of Antun, he became one of the many victims.

"Rex of Black Smoke, I have been waiting for you two for a long time." The man clasped his hands together and made a very powerful gesture.

Saphir looked at the tall man in front of him and asked, "Does Matga know we are coming?"

"The king knows, so he asked me to come and greet him." Rex's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked very difficult to deal with.

Saphir laughed when she heard this. She pointed at the big pit under the other party's feet and said, "Is the welcome you mentioned such a provocative behavior?"

"This is the etiquette of Tartan. If you can't accept it, you can just leave on your own." Rex snorted lightly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what he did.

Rimuru’s expression became more subtle.

Saphir also showed a happier smile: "So arrogant? Kid, I don't like people pretending to be arrogant to me like this, so I am unhappy."

Rex didn't care. He had made countless people unhappy in this world, and in the end, all of them were beaten to death by his fists. He had spent his entire life in battle and was a complete battle maniac.

It was certainly not Matga's intention to provoke Saphir, but he wanted to do so. In his opinion, those who didn't dare to fight him were not worthy of talking to the king.

Just when he was about to say something, a golden halo enveloped him, then tightened and directly imprisoned him.

"What is this!" Rex was horrified and tried desperately to break free.

At this time, Saphir's somewhat cold voice sounded in his ears: "I am very happy that Matga is willing to send someone to greet me, but I don't like the way you greeted me.

I have a problem. When I am in a bad mood, I want to kill someone, so many people call me a lunatic, but I don’t argue with them.

I don't mind what you say behind my back, but if you dance in front of me and don't teach me a lesson, I will feel bad. "

The next second, the spear of victory shining with golden light broke through the air and pierced directly through Rex's chest, nailing him firmly to the ground, unable to move.

Rex instantly realized that he had hit a wall. The first thing he thought of was that he must not let the person in front of him and the king have misunderstandings, otherwise there would be big problems.

He immediately said, "I'm sorry, it was my own idea to provoke you. The king has never asked me to do such a thing. Please don't vent your anger on me."

"Heh..." Saphir glanced at Rex, who was already like a dead dog, and shook his head, "You don't understand anything."

After saying that, the Nether Chain appeared out of thin air and pierced Rex's head directly, killing him.

“Because of their kindness and soft-heartedness, those in higher positions always provide some protection to those below them, but they don’t know that this kind of protection can sometimes turn into ignorance born out of carefreeness.

Death is the end in almost all cases, but for you now, it is a relief. Unfortunately, you who know nothing, don't know that you have already been in hell. "After getting rid of Rex, Sapphire continued to walk into the black volcano, and Rimuru followed her step by step without saying a word.

This is a tomb. Those who are dead but unaware of it are dancing in the tomb, dreaming that they are still alive.

Soon, they encountered another monster named Moshashi Iver.

As the name suggests, this guy is also not a humanoid creature.

It is a stone lump, and looks a bit like Murphy from LOL, but it also popped out of a stone. Unlike the slow-moving Murphite, Iver is much more agile, jumping around like a monkey.

"Annoying." These are the only four words that Safire had to say about this.

Rimuru was rather curious and eager to try.

Saphir knew what he was thinking, so he simply said, "Swallow it. The magic stone is a good material. It will also be a good choice to use it to forge weapons in the future."

"I've been waiting for you to say this!" Rimuru was excited. To be honest, the energy level of Teyvat was too low.

He has been here for so long that he has already realized that the only way for this clone to increase its strength is to find a way to seize power from outside the world, such as the abyss.

But it is difficult for him to come into contact with these things if he follows Klee all the time. After all, Klee is just a child. She may take risks and do some dangerous things, but it is impossible for Klee to go to the abyss.

Even if she wanted to go, neither Qin nor Saphir would allow her.

As a being created in response to Klee's wish, Rimuru's biggest mission is to accompany Klee, and this was decided from the beginning.

Now, Rimuru is temporarily following Saphir and can finally come into contact with these dangerous energies and materials. He will not miss this rare opportunity.

So, at the moment when Iver jumped and landed again, the harmless-looking Limlu appeared at its landing point and gave it a refreshing smile.

Iver just felt a little puzzled, wondering what the blue-haired dwarf was doing. The next second, he saw the dwarf opposite him suddenly stretch out his hand, and a black energy suddenly spread out and wrapped around his body.

"What...is this..." Iver wanted to struggle, but his consciousness gradually sank into a dark chaos and he was completely swallowed up.

After doing all this, Rimuru wiped his mouth pretentiously and burped, which made Saphir's eyelids twitch: "You... you burp when the predator is activated?"

Saphir didn't understand because she didn't remember giving this guy such a setting.

You know, the medium used to summon Rimuru was the novel serialized by Saphir in Yaedo. Because they had met once in the Aru Space, they established a soul connection by chance, and then she successfully created this guy with the help of Albedo.

Therefore, the setting of Rimuru is completely the setting in Safire's novel, and there is no other private setting.

Rimuru put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest as if it was a matter of course. "Isn't it normal to burp when you're full? I'm just imitating human behavior."

"..." Saphir was speechless. She almost forgot that Rimuru was actually a funny guy in essence.

The strength of these two can almost be regarded as the top two in the entire team. Rimuru is weaker, but his ability is weird. He can ignore the mechanisms of many monsters and kill them, so it is much easier for him to deal with these guys than Beidou and others.

After all, facing a fellow who relies on devouring, no matter how powerful or invincible you are, once you are in his stomach, you will have no room to perform. What awaits you is the great sage's ruthless analysis, identification, and energy mimicry offensive.

The analysis and identification will digitize everything about you. In front of the great sage, you have no secrets and no backup plans.

The simulated virtual opponents are definitely the most suitable to deal with you. They will kill you ruthlessly like the most sophisticated machines.

In the end, you will turn into nutrients, all your abilities will be recorded, and you will become a part of Rimuru's strength improvement.

After dealing with the Demon Stone Iver, the two continued to move forward. At this time, they had arrived at an area close to the center of the black volcano.

And in front of them, blocking their way, was a female Tartan who looked 80% similar to Agnes.

The female Taltane showed no surprise when she saw the two men coming, and was obviously one of the people who knew about it.

The area she was in was somewhat different from the previous ones. The ground here was divided into squares, and no one knew what their function was.

"You guys are pretty quick. You arrived earlier than I expected." The Tartan said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Medil, Medil of the Abyss. I've heard a lot about you, Saphir of the Sky Demon."

“She knows you.” Rimuru opened his eyes wide with an incredible expression.

Saphir said calmly, "I haven't heard of the name 'Demon' for a long time."

"It seems that we have been dead for a long time, so long that you have even become unfamiliar with your own name." Medill said with some disappointment.

Safir looked at the door behind him and said, "Matga is in there, right? Why don't you go out and see her?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. You should feel it, right? Although we look like we are still alive here, some rules still affect us.

Once upon a time, the coalition forces opened the door behind me by defeating me and successfully met the king. This seemed to have become a rule.

As long as I don't die, the king won't come out. Although I don't like such a rule, I have to say that it gives you a reason to kill me, and I don't have to bear the slightest guilt for it. "Medil's tone was relaxed, as if he was not talking about his own death, but a trivial matter.

From the tone of her words, Saphir understood that she and Agnes had similar ideas: "You are just shadows that shouldn't exist in this world. I won't sympathize with you because of your experiences. Killing you is what I have to do. I won't hesitate."

"That would be great." Medil said, and suddenly rushed to Saphir, raised the sword in his hand and stabbed, "Do you need me to tell you how to kill me?"

Saphir did not answer, but just slightly turned sideways to avoid the sword, and then pulled Rimuru to his side. At this moment, the three of them were standing on the floor together.

Once the situation was formed, Medil's invincibility disappeared.

Feeling the power disappearing from her body, Medil was not angry but relieved instead. Then, she closed her eyes and quietly waited for her death.

Safir didn't let her wait too long. He stretched out his right hand and dug out her heart.

Digging out his heart directly cut off Medil's life.

"Mr. Gulab is truly formidable. He can read intelligence on the enemy so quickly. It's much better than my analysis and identification." Rimuru exclaimed.

Saphir nodded in agreement: "Because of this, Gulab was destined to die young. His fate should have ended with the incurable magic scale disease..."

"But you saved me, didn't you?" Rimuru put his hands behind his back and asked a heart-wrenching question with a smile, "How much did you pay?"

"Want to know?" Safire glanced at him.

Rimuru nodded quickly. To change one's fate against the will of heaven would definitely require a very high price, especially for such a hero that even heaven cannot tolerate. The cause and effect on him was enough to scare ordinary people to death in an instant.

Saphir turned his head away: "I won't tell you."

After saying that, she ignored Rimuru's protest and walked straight into the door not far away.

She saved many people and also endured a lot of cause and effect. The price she paid was naturally very heavy, but the so-called cause and effect cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

For example, she saved Orobas and Raiden Shin, which indirectly led to the second invasion of the Abyss where Inazuma appeared.

Saving Rudra led to her suffering for five hundred years.

These are all cause and effect, and are chain reactions caused by saving lives.

Those who say that bearing the cause and effect will bring down thunder and being struck by lightning at the slightest disagreement are talking nonsense because they do not understand cause and effect. The real cause and effect are events, and the effort to fight against events is the price.

In fact, even she herself couldn't tell which specific thing caused the cause and effect. She only knew that trying her best to solve the troubles that came to her was the best way to deal with cause and effect.

This is why she wanted to know what happened to the Shadow Prison member who died in the Dusk Sea.

Because the appearance of Antun is the result of cause and effect planted tens of thousands of years ago. If not handled properly, this world, the entire continent of Teyvat, and even this planet will become the price that must be paid.

One thing she didn't say, and Matga didn't tell the other Tartans, was that Antun and Tartan were not at the end of their rope.

As long as they can walk out of this secret realm and arrive on the continent of Teyvat, they can be truly resurrected.

This was most likely the path that the Shadow Prison members had pointed out to them, and that was why Antun was killed so easily.

Because as long as they leave that world, Antun's predetermined fate will be rewritten, which is an irresistible temptation for Matga and Antun.

The cause and effect were thus planted.

The biggest challenge that Matga and his team have to face is the founder of Shadow Prison: Saphir.

Yes, the biggest obstacle to the solution proposed by the Shadow Prison members is the real person behind the Shadow Prison. This is also a part of fate and a cause and effect that must be faced.

After figuring this out, Saphir quietly clenched his fists. For Matga, from the very beginning, her position was not that of a challenger, but rather... an almost invincible BOSS.

It's time to end this cause and effect, Saphir's eyes were cold:

"Challenger...ha...you are the challenger."
