Beyond the Labyrinth
The structure of the interior of the dungeon was truly worthy of the name of a labyrinth . A maze of narrow, branching passageways stretches on and on . Esoteric demon beasts and traps are also plentiful .
Well, the demon beasts were mostly carcasses, although the traps had been lifted quite a bit . No, it’s better to say they were disabled or activated .
Apparently, all the people who were ahead of them were trapped . Earth Wrath is a Rank S adventurer, right? I’m sure you have the skill to disarm it . Or did you create a little lead like we did and disarm it on purpose?
“That guy’s way of doing things hasn’t grown up at all . Maybe they sent a golem or something to kamikaze them . ” Kiara .
It seems to be a way to deactivate the suicide bomb by using the leader . Well, it’s easy .
”That said, I’m sure there are some types that can detect heat… . . Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s Earth Wrath or not . ” Kiara .
In the end, we didn’t fall for one of the traps . Moreover, if you follow the Demon Beast’s crushed corpse, you won’t get lost .
”Even so, it’s funny . I have never heard of such a great labyrinth in the information the man Johan has given us . ” Quina .
”Were you not hypnotized?” Fran .
Fran tilts her head, but Quina shakes her head in denial .
”No, it was not an act, it was fully into it . There were a few scenes along the way where emotions ran high, probably because they were asked questions about the beastmen they hated . A trance doesn’t mean that you lose your emotions . ” Quina .
”So does that mean that man didn’t know about this labyrinth, too?” Fran .
”Maybe, maybe not . I think they weren’t informed about this place . ” Kiara .
Quina nods at Kiara’s words, but I’ve been thinking of another possibility . That being said, the dungeon may have been expanded to coincide with the onslaught of Earth Wrath .
He hastily creates a labyrinth full of traps in order to hold back the strong enemies who have invaded . It’s a common development in light novels with a dungeon master as the main character .
If you think about it, however, it also explains why Johan didn’t know and why the traces of the demon beasts were suddenly cut off and the human labyrinth suddenly appeared .
Thinking back to Murellia’s description, she said that she would use points to expand the dungeon . Plus, I’ve seen Lumina create a room in an instant in the dungeon in Urumut . Wouldn’t it be possible to build a labyrinth in an instant, depending on the points you pay?
Well, it’s only in my imagination, and even if I knew that, there’s still no development in the battle .
One hour later .
After wading through the labyrinth, the end was finally in sight . Ahead, I saw a huge door with a clearly different atmosphere than ever before . If it were a normal dungeon, you’d think it was a boss room .
Even so, I had only fought a few demons and traps along the way, but it took this long… . If everything was perfect, it would have taken many times longer than this .
While moving, there were a few times when he sensed powerful magic . It seems that someone is fighting somewhere in the dungeon . And we could sense the same magical wavelengths from the huge door in front of us .
”In a normal dungeon, other adventurers are often not allowed inside while fighting the boss…”
Kiara and Quina approached the door and examined its structure .
”There are no traps, sir . ”
”You can’t open this one if you touch it . ”
Apparently, it opens easily .
”Let’s go! Now, you may still be able to join Lord Earth Wrath!” Mea .
”Join forces? Don’t be ridiculous . He doesn’t need that . All right . I’ll tell you one thing, don’t approach the Earthers carelessly . Not until I say it’s fine . ” Kiara .
At Mea’s words, Kiara nails it with a look so serious that it’s scary . Hearing this, Guendalfa must have become afraid of Earthrath once again . Buruli and his huge body shook .
”Master Kiara . Is he such a horrible man, that he should be killed by his own people?”
”It’s a given . I’ll tell you who to be on the lookout for in this dungeon . It’s not a dungeon master, nor is it a Murellia . He has lost his way, Earth Wrath . Remember that . ”
Kiara announces in a low voice, as if to frighten everyone . No, it’s not a threat; it’s probably the truth . There was a strong sense of tension from Kiara .
”I understand . ”
”Hmm . Okay . ”
”………… . . ”
Mea and Fran also nodded their heads with a mysterious look . As far as Guendalfa is concerned, he is at a loss for words . She swallowed her breath and grunted as she nodded . The maids are great here as always . It’s truly the power of the iron spirit .
”But can’t we just sit here and wait with anticipation?”
“I know . It’s not like it was decided that it was Earth Wrath inside in the first place . ”
”Well then!”
”We’re going to have to go . ”
Then, Kiara touches the door .
Gogo-go-go-go…
Beyond the earth-shaking, open door was a large circular hall . My first impression is of the Colosseum . Well, the ground is cobblestone, although the ceiling is domed .
The reason why this place reminded me of the Colosseum is because of the tense atmosphere of a huge man holding a large sword in the center of the hall, and a triceratops-like demon beast nearly 20 meters long facing him .
The demon beast had already lost three of its five horns, and its six legs were also reduced to four, with blue-black blood dripping from severed legs . Clearly harder than iron, the armor-like shell that covered its entire body was carved with several lacerations, and flesh was visible through the gaps .
On the other hand, the big man with the horns sprouting from his forehead was unscathed . On the contrary, he wasn’t even breathing heavily . It was obvious that he overwhelmed a demon beast that would be a rank C threat .
The demon beast let out a roar of anger, but did not move . No, it couldn’t move . It’s probably because of the exhaustion of the battle so far and also because of the deep fear of men instilled in it . His snort was also rough, and although he turned his murderous gaze on the man, he did not try to step forward from the spot .
The man who had been observing such a demon beast for a while, carried the large sword he was holding on his shoulders . Then, I point my left hand towards the demon beast .
The man muttered as his magic rapidly increased .
”Crush it . ”
”Boh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!”
Immediately afterwards, I saw the demon beast being crushed from the left and right, as if it was being wrapped in an invisible giant hand . There was no movement, only the demon beast’s pitiful screams echoed in the hall . Eyeballs and tongues pop out from the powerful pressure, and blood spurts from wounds all over the body . The bodily fluids are eventually blocked by an invisible wall and can only accumulate in the same spot .
A few seconds later, the beast had been brutally crushed to death by some kind of attack unleashed by the man . From the front, it only looks like a piece of wood .
I quickly examined the man – Earth – and found him to be a monster .
