"So, this time when we go out, we can also get help from the Fantasy Path?"
A group of students were stunned.
The Fantasy Path is recognized as a powerful tool for group battles.
However, due to various reasons, Fantasists always act rather slowly.
Theoretically, to harness the Fantasist's power beyond the current sequence, a specially tailored script is needed.
For example, most heroic prototypes from mythical templates have experienced commanding large-scale wars or beheading the strongest enemy.
In such cases, if the Fantasist selects this type of template and crafts a corresponding war script, finds an appropriate Actor, and even chooses a performance stage that has previously hosted such a script—
In this scenario, the combat power of the Fantasist and the Actor will receive an awe-inspiring enhancement.
In other words...
In reality, the true body of a Fantasist usually leans towards a specific profession.
Military Commander.
Nowadays, a significant portion of high-ranking commanders from various countries are Fantasists.
"But isn't it difficult for Fantasists to participate in the Underground City?" Caesar raised his hand and said, "For a Fantasist to exert full power, they need the right script and the right Actor, right? Ordinary Actors might be fine, but gathering the main cast is really tough."
Upon hearing this, someone at the scene couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone looked over and saw Laura place a hand on Miseria's shoulder. Miseria, embarrassed, said:
"Actually, the main cast is from your own group."
"Huh?"*N
Chloe explained a bit, and everyone finally understood the reason.
The biggest issue with the Fantasy Show is the main cast's [Template Synchronization Rate].
The template synchronization rate is influenced by many factors, but primarily divided into three categories.
First, the compatibility between the Actor and the specific mythical template.
Second, the similarity between the Actor's path, constitution, and talents with the mythical character.
Third, the compatibility between the performance location and the script.
Miseria explained: "Why do new members of the Fantasy Path rarely go to the Maze for trials in the early stages?
It's because the Fantasy Power that the Fantasy Show can mobilize is not strong enough.
The core output capability of a Fantasist's Fantasy Night generally needs to reach Sequence Seven before it can be fully exerted. Currently, only one person with an Ethereal Emblem has achieved this.
Even for me, I can only perform a Fantasy Show in the Underground City with limited means, provided there is no specially tailored script, no suitable main cast, and no stage enhancements."
The newcomers from the Association were still somewhat confused.
Although Fantasists often appear on stage, they indeed rarely interact with adventurers from various factions.
Even among the Ethereal Emblem, they belong to a relatively mysterious group.
Plus, they like to band together for survival, making them even harder to encounter.
Of course.
There is also a small portion of members with profound family heritage who instantly understood Miseria's meaning.
They were somewhat surprised and said:
"Senior sister, you mean, you can receive special reinforcement when entering the Maze now?"
"Yes." Miseria smiled and said, "The lead roles selected for this script all possess traits targeted for the Maze. Initially, it was just my midterm assignment, but Chloe asked me to help you, so I came."
Whether it's just the lead roles or including supporting characters and extras, it's still assistance.
To her, there's no difference.
Fratiss, who was munching on bread all this time, raised her head and said:
"It's not just ordinary compatibility, all three major factors are maxed out."
At this point, even the chubby guy who had been aware of Miseria's help for a while looked at Chloe.
Chloe coughed and said:
"You guys perform well, see if you have Spiritual Energy talent. If you do, you're in luck this time."
He looked at Miseria.
Miseria nodded, indicating he could speak.
Only then did he say: "Those who are selected, under the influence of the Fantasy Show this time, should be able to advance one sequence, gain insights into the next stage's power ahead of time, help you quickly digest Extraordinary Traits, and save you half a year to a full year."
This remark caused the crowd to not just be shocked, but to go into an uproar.
Only Fratiss maintained a calm demeanor.
Actually, she had some expectations when she saw Senior Chloe matching with the Emperor.
She has read many books and came across records about the Era of Turmoil a long time ago.
According to historical records, before the Dawn Era, there existed a phenomenon called the Underground City.
The fragmented world captured by the Stars Continent, during the process of being absorbed by the Stars, would merge at one point.
The final product of this merging is the Underground City, filled with demons.
The consciousness of the fragmented world, filled with despair and wails, would become a magic spell looming over the heads of all creatures in the Underground City, turning them into demons that slaughter everything.
Among them, the being that controls all demons is known as the [Demon King].
However, the last Underground City was leveled by the King of Redemption at the end of the Era of Turmoil.
Since then, the world has no longer witnessed the phenomenon of Underground Cities.
The originally highly aggregated Underground City shattered into countless fragments.
These fragments, in the Dawn Era, received a new name—
Maze.
According to historical records, before the emergence of the King of Redemption, the Underground City gave birth to the strongest Demon King in history.
Constrained by the suppression of entrant levels by the Underground City, when strong individuals from the continent were suppressed and then entered the Underground City, it was as if delivering food to the Demon King.
To suppress the Demon King, heroes needed time to accumulate strength, while another warrior chose to step into the Maze knowing it meant certain death, using their life to suppress the Demon King and buy time for the hero to further grow.
That hero was the Emperor portrayed by Senior Chloe.
And the warrior who entered the Underground City in place of the hero was her portrayal of the Storm Hero.
The original lead roles had an extremely high degree of compatibility.
Now, here's the question.
Where were the main stages of the stories of both the Emperor and the Storm Hero?
The answer: Underground City.
So, after the Dawn Era, what did the Underground City turn into?
Immediate response: Maze.
Yes.
For other Fantasists, whether they can exert their power in the Maze is hard to say.
But for Miseria, at least the script and lead role she has mastered can unleash the maximum power she can currently achieve in the Maze.
In fact.
This Maze speedrun was smoother than they imagined.
Yellow Ape Ridge, D+ Maze, everywhere there are Sequence Nine yellow apes, over 3000 of them in number.
Speedrun time of 12 hours.
The tribe's overall strength was high due to the unique Treasure Fruit Tree products of Yellow Ape Ridge.
Members of the Extreme Association suffered a little during their initial entry.
But Chloe's healing abilities were too strong; under the protection of Flesh and Blood Magic, they quickly launched a counterattack after getting used to the yellow apes' assaults.
Even without Chloe's intervention, they soon reduced the yellow ape numbers to below 10%.
The rare fruits produced by the Treasure Fruit Tree were directly taken away.
Consuming these fruits alone could boost one's energy, whether used personally or sold, they were ideal.
Harvest: Over 2800 Sequence Nine yellow ape materials, more than 12,900 Treasure Fruits.
...
Black Water Valley, D+ Maze, the number of Sequence Nine Black Water Catfish is scarce, but the toxic swamp waters everywhere contained their poison pearls, natural ingredients for detoxifying Magic Potions.
Speedrun time of 3 hours, Abigail, who had just returned, used her Life Transformation Surgery talent to isolate the toxins.
Chloe used Child of the Ocean talent to isolate the toxic water and pinpointed the Black Water Catfish locations.
The three-hour duration was their travel time, not the time spent killing monsters.
Harvest: 122 Sequence Nine Black Water Catfish materials and the rare poison pearls.
...
Mechanical Ruins, D+ Maze, covered with rampaging scorpion robots.
Speedrun time of 11 hours.
This time, Caesar was the core output, using the mass-produced large-scale Thunder Magic he replicated to almost directly scrap most of the scorpion robots.
The rest mainly worked to prevent the scorpions from approaching Caesar, giving him time to cast spells.
Harvest: 11 tons of activated metal shells, 321 Mysterious Chips, several Scorpion Tail Special Alloy Materials.
...
Nex's Graveyard, D+ Maze, a gathering place of over 10,000 skeletons, purely a monster-spawning Maze.
Few yields, but the Maze Loner King White Bone Centipede produced the Sequence Seven Necromancer Extraordinary Trait.
Harvest: Dead Spirit Path · Sequence Seven · Necromancer's Extraordinary Trait [Skull Crown]
...
White Wave Grand Waterfall, D+ Maze, the exceptionally complex waterfall environment and difficult-to-stand terrain is key for low Sequences to conquer.
However, a member of the Extreme Association possessed UR-level Child of the Ocean talent, so…
Speedrun time of 5.5 hours.
Harvest: 112 giant carp, live, about to burst the Extreme Association Hunter's pet bag.
Chloe planned to sell a portion, and the rest to fill the Amber Hall's aquarium.
...
Whale Habitat Coast, D+ Maze, 12 giant whales with bodies far exceeding the current Sequence size.
Under the premise of suppressing Sequence power, Chloe received Caesar's support.
Yes, Caesar mass-produced [Filthy Thunder].
That day, the Whale Habitat Coast was exceptionally dramatic with electrified fish.
Speedrun time, half an hour.
Harvest: Titan Path · Sequence Eight · Gladiator's Extraordinary Trait [Giant Whale Gland] *12, Mage Path · Sequence Eight · Elemental Mage Water Attribute Specialized Extraordinary Trait [Sea Whale Pearl] *12.
...
Insect Chirping Canyon, D+ Maze, countless poisonous bees, spiders, centipedes, and moths.
Speedrun time of 20 minutes.
The reason was that Chloe recalled the fear of F3 cockroaches in South China and for the first time voluntarily unlocked her restrictions, with pitch-black Filthy Thunder sweeping across the entire area.
Harvest: None, someone directly scattered all the produced demons.
Small tip: After leaving the Maze, Daniel hurriedly called to ensure all bugs at Amber Hall were cleaned up, not missing even the smallest.
Not only because the members of the Extreme Association felt nauseous, but also because they feared Ke's PTSD would directly blow up Amber Hall.
Daniel saw his brother so unsettled for the first time, and that Filthy Thunder was almost out of control.
...
Thousand-Year Mountain, D+ Maze, full of high-risk magical plants.
Speedrun time of 14 hours.
No battles broke out throughout.
Chloe's Wood Affinity talent and vigorous Life Energy made the magical plants more obedient than the school's girls towards their president.
So, someone waved his hand and decided to take the time to bring back the magical plants to cultivate them as a subsidiary industry of Amber Hall.
The 14 hours were spent hiring Adventurers to dig up plants.
Harvest: A total of 21 varieties, over 31,000 magical plants.
...
Cannibal Giant Woodlands, D+ Maze, with only three Maze Monsters rampaging inside.
All three Maze Monsters [Cannibal Giant Tree] belonged to the Maze Loner King.
A Loner King alone could wipe out a same-level Small Association's strategy team.
But standing in front of them now was the Extreme Association, imbued with Fantasist buffs, who had experienced rounds of battles.
Speedrun time of 40 minutes.
Without Chloe and others entering the battle, the Extreme Association forcefully killed the three Maze Loner Kings using pure output.
Harvest: Naturally-formed Extraordinary Artifacts [Life Treasure Pearl] *3, 122 fruit that enhances blood and energy.
With this, the first phase of the Extreme Association's speedrun was completely over.
When they brought their collections from the school and Adventurer's Guild back to Amber Hall, almost all of the Ethereal Emblem heard the news.
