Isn’t the wannabe Villain too cute?

The person who brought this much trouble for Austin after so long a time. The man who nearly killed him. And the bastard who dared to hurt his sister as well was yet again standing in front of the three.

However, from close observation, it became clear that the person standing all tall and arrogant was no longer a living existence. Rather, just a fragment of his soul.

[You guys don't even seem surprised. How boring.]

The Abyssal Wizard pouted like a kid as if the person who was doing his all to kill Austin was someone else entirely.

However, the whiny expression of the Wizard soon shifted exponentially as he sensed a peculiar energy radiating from the silver-haired girl.

Luna had no motive to let this chance go. This was the opportunity to bestow the most painful death to the insect who dared to hurt her husband.

The Wizard realized that he might vanish from existence since the creepy girl had Holy Magic overflowing around her. Even being alive, the man was sure that he would've lost to such an absurd level of raw mana.

"Do you have anything useful to say?"

Austin gently wrapped his hand around Luna's waist before she could have gone berserk.

Even being angry, Luna seemed extremely adorable to let go. And also, he had a hunch that this useless Wizard might deliver some information related to the thing waiting beneath them.

Luna understood Austin's intention but still, it was too much to ask for. She just wanted to slice a limb or two for starters. That much wouldn't have killed the pest.

However, she didn't protest against Austin and obediently stood at her spot.

The Abyssal Wizard sighed in relief as the overwhelming killing intent was pulled back temporarily.

[Yes… I, as the guardian of this Labyrinth, allow you and your party to proceed further. But before you face the being resting at the base of this abyss, I want to request you guys something.]

The first half of his statement seemed utter bullshit since Austin didn't require any approval now to proceed further. But what intrigued the three was the Wizard's following words.

With a deep frown, the Wizard continued.

[The one resting on the tenth stage of this place has the knowledge of your System and the person who caused so many troubles for you. But beware of one thing…]

Saya frowned slightly since she was entirely unaware of what system this robed bastard was talking about. However, from her brother's expression, it seemed that this matter contained extreme concern.

Just as Saya and Luna could see, Austin indeed had a severe frown on his head as he waited for the Wizard to continue. If things really go as desired then Austin may find various answers he has been pursuing for a long time.

His tone grew slightly mild like he was trying to not let someone else lurking around hear it, the wizard continued.

[...don't piss her off whatever it takes. Once her tolerance level reaches a point she might explode and also take down the place situated above the Labyrinth.]

Austin understood what this Wizard was trying to imply.

If the person on the tenth floor gets annoyed then she might eradicate the whole of Eden's Academy at once. Well, Austin doesn't believe what he has yet to witness but there was no harm to keep Wizard's warning in mind.

"You done right? Now let me slaughter you."

Luna instantly got away from Austin's grip and approached the Wizard at a frightening speed.

[Hehe… not so easy there… ]

But the wizard was able to escape by converting himself into a shadow and blending in the darkness.

Luna's eyes glittered with cyan radiance as she used her skill to trace the bastard but…

"He's moving continuously. I better destroy this whole floor."

Since the Wizard's consciousness remained only in his soul, he was able to use himself as a shadow and kept on moving to dodge any kind of lethal blow.

Luna made her decision to bring this whole place into rumbles to see the despair on that creature's face and kill him slowly while listening to his agonizing screams.

But before she could have started, Austin held her hand and pulled her in an embrace.

"That's okay, Luna. He's already dead. Killing him again would gain us nothing. I am happy that you are angry in my stead but I think it's best to stop here and focus on the final destination."

Luna, who was getting into her battle mode suddenly felt the warmth of her man enveloping her, before her eyes lost the glint they carried for the Wizard.

The Saintess whined like a child as she complained with a bulge appearing on her left cheek.

"You always forgive anyone so easily."

Austin sighed in awe upon seeing the childish protest as he tried to calm down the troubled Luna.

"That's why we are the most balanced couple, aren't we?"

Luna quit struggling upon hearing the flirtatious comment as she dipped her face, deep into his chest while trying to hide her embarrassment.

Austin laughed lightly as he extended his hand toward Saya who was cautiously keeping her eyes on their surroundings.

Seeing her brother's approach, she instantly jumped forward and leaned slightly to place his hand on top of her head.

While pampering the ladies, Austin's eyes looked intently at the base on which they were standing as a thought emerged in his mind.

'Let's see who is the mighty creator of this wonderful system… '
