“Hahaha, it’s a harvest!”

Exploring every nook and cranny was worth it.

Knowing that they could deal with any monsters, Maple and the others scored all the passages. Afterwards, they returned to the branching point to each passage.

“It looks like there’s no other place we can explore...”

With Maple’s shout, everyone entered the room at the same time.

The boss conjured several masses of flame in the air, amplified them, and grinned at Maple and the others.

“An unexpected visitor. I’ll entertain you. Just be careful not to turn into charcoal!”

“Maple, brace yourself!”

“Take this—!”

The sudden attack caught them off-guard.

The giant black fireball that filled the room expanded, turning into a pillar of fire that reached even the ceiling, swallowing the eight people.
