Episode 46: Leap to the Bottom

Leave Ira on that spot and run down the sewer.

I don't know where it's going, but it's definitely headed to the east side of the city.

"It's time for a labyrinth."

There are people on the ground looking for us.

But I can't go to the labyrinth, which is my destination, while I'm underground.

"Okay?

They both nodded when they confirmed to try to get out on the ground as Melissa pointed out.

The moment the flame raised diagonally upwards crashes into the ceiling, it explodes and punches a big hole.

"We're leaving."

Fly out to the ground without slowing down.

Shortly afterwards, I can turn my gaze from everyone who was rolling around. The only emotion in that eye is hatred.

"Run!"

At a remote location is the entrance to the labyrinth, which we have become accustomed to seeing in a few days.

Usually there are children waiting for adventurers to work as luggage carriers, but there were adventurers of a level who could be called veterans instead of children.

Ventler already knows this destination is a labyrinth.

Naturally, it's no surprise that we have the force to disrupt us before we enter.

"Iris, you know what I mean."

"Of course."

They attack, but they attack, trying to keep them from getting hurt as much as possible, stepping on their fallen bodies and going back.

"Ma, wait...!

Six adventurers approached me as I ran to the entrance.

"Who is it?

"It's a mash of A-rank adventurers. Can you let me know if you know about this situation!?

A man of fighters running the lead asked as he ran.

Not under the influence of [class rule], I guess that means an adventurer from a foreign country.

"No, we don't know what's going on here either"

I can't afford to explain the situation properly.

"But there's no doubt that people all over the city are turning to their enemies. It's dangerous to have people nearby you don't know. Then let's move to a place without humans, that's what we think."

"No humans, place...... right, labyrinth!?

There are also people in the labyrinth.

But in the labyrinth, which is a vast space but also a confined space, it was hit and put on to rely in a situation where you don't know who to trust.

"We'll go as far as possible to the lower tier."

"Down there?

"Yes. There will be fewer people going down there. It's dangerous to have fierce demons, but only a handful of them can get there."

"Oh, you're right"

Defeat the A-rank Adventurer who was in formation before the Labyrinth.

Mashes rush in where the entrance is visible.

"Let me go first!

Apologizing doesn't stop them from stopping.

You don't have to rush after him. They chased through, stopping a little farther away.

Entrance to the first basement floor just into the labyrinth.

There, crystals that were about the same size as people were protruding from the ground.

Labyrinth structures (objects) that allow movement to and from other hierarchies - metastasis crystals.

The mashes were going to use metastatic crystals to travel all the way down to the lower layers at once.

However, the metastatic crystals did not react at all even when used as usual.

"Hey, what's going on!?

"I can't believe it's broken..."

"I've never heard of a metastatic crystal breaking!

An argument that heats up gradually.

But I soon realized I didn't have the time to argue. Several adventurers are pushing from the entrance of the labyrinth to the next, and fewer from within the labyrinth.

Bentler was planning to pinch this one when he found out it was a labyrinth, lurking many excellent adventurers.

"Ku...... you guys, give up using metastatic crystals because this is an anomaly!

"But..."

"Our aim is to get away from the Icaletas. We're gonna run through this."

"Heh!"

Mash, who took his buddy, storms for places where people are less dense.

"Bye!"

In the process one person was slashed and sacrificed.

Still, the other five succeeded in being able to escape.

For the Raiders, the Mashes are nothing but obstructive in attacking us, which is their goal. I slashed it away because I happened to be holding back my path. The same adventurers are stronger than the ones who are attacking us.

"No! I knew it wouldn't respond!

Iris screams when he tries to use metastatic crystals.

It's unresponsive even when we use it.

Ventler shut down the function of the metastatic crystal so that we could not restart from the 31st basement to prevent us from reaching the lowest level of the labyrinth.

"Right!

I scream unexpectedly too.

At the same time, I can't help but smile.

"All conditions are in place."

Getting to the labyrinth.

Not to be disturbed by family members.

And banning the use of metastatic crystals was a necessary condition to reach the lowest level.

"It might have been the best thing to do to keep a normal adventurer from going to the bottom."

Cover your surroundings with wind walls.

The approaching adventurers were being pushed away by the storm. Still, only a trained adventurer is coming this way again, taking a passive. It's just unfortunately not enough to break through the storm walls no matter how strong they are.

My job here is to protect both of you from getting in the way.

"Iris, I got it."

Focused on consciousness, Iris doesn't answer my words, he stays in touch with the metastatic crystals.

As the prerogative of the Labyrinth Lord, it is possible to temporarily suspend some of the functions of the Labyrinth. It was also possible for this metastatic crystal to become unusable by interfering with the labyrinth from the labyrinth nucleus at the bottom.

All metastatic crystals work with constant force to interfere with use.

"- Gotcha!

As a Labyrinth agent, Illis is as familiar with the power of the Labyrinth as I am, to some functions as I am. The suspension of use of the function is also more familiar with Iris.

What Illis captured was the location of the lowest level of the labyrinth nucleus, which is flowing with force to disrupt use.

Despite being spatially disconnected and in a remote location, Iris captured the exact position.

"Now it's my turn"

Melissa puts her hand on Iris' shoulder with her hand on the metastatic crystal.

Melissa also activates her skills when she closes her eyes and focuses her consciousness.

"[Magic Liberation]!

Skills that make it possible to temporarily increase Magic Power values up to 999999 by using them. Initially it was 99999 when I got it, but the effects obtained by using my skills by Melissa's increased status were also up to tenfold.

I've been able to do it by becoming stronger.

"... Huh! I grasped this one, too. I'll jump!"

"Please."

I'll put my hand on the shoulder of the vacant Illis, too.

The next moment, the view in front of me was moving to a completely different place. Place like a cave with bright white rock skin. It was thrown into the air.

"... I'm sorry. Could not specify height"

"We got there, no problem."

I apologize. I comfort Melissa.

Land on the ground holding Melissa and Iris, who are going to wear out and fall.

"Apparently, we've been able to get to the bottom."

Behind the cave is a white temple-like building.

That's the resting building of the labyrinth nucleus.

"But I was relieved that it seemed to work"

How to reach the lowest level Melissa has found.

Melissa, who captures the position of the labyrinth nucleus and has acquired immense magic by [magical liberation], forces her to jump through space to the position captured by Illis by combining space magic with [labyrinth magic: metastasis].

If Bentler hadn't stopped us from reaching the 30th floor, he wouldn't have succeeded if he had taken the means to jam us while we were attacking the remaining 40th floor from the 31st floor to the lowest level. It's a successful operation because Bentler was only thinking about pulling the cage in earnest.

"Your defeat lies in your forgetting that I am the same labyrinth lord as myself."

I possess just as much knowledge about the labyrinth.

Nevertheless, Ventler has adopted such a means as to be dealing with strangers with regard to the labyrinth.

"Kisama......!

"You've finally met me. You're Ventler."
