"... dude, what's this?"

When we get down from Malt's private house to the basement, things are pretty different there, and we're surprised.

When I went by earlier, it was just a stone basement, something like that.

It is a sturdy structure, well stacked and formed of stone, which has been around for many years but remains to this day and age unbeaten by the passage of time.

It was such an atmospheric place.

But how about now?

The path, which should have been linear, is unnaturally curved and has great ups and downs on the ground as well.

It has not changed that much to be an inorganic material again, but oddly enough, despite this, it seemed peristaltic like a creature from time to time.

Some parts are floating like thick blood vessels like pipes, and if you get close, you can see they're pulsating.

"... you don't seem to have much time"

That's what Laura said.

"Is this... the magic of labyrinthination?

Laura nods as Lorraine asks as she progresses.

"Yep. This will be the magic of an approach that sees the labyrinth as a creature...... If you leave it alone, it keeps spreading. It's a simple and quite dangerous type... oops, demons too... are you getting stronger"

When Laura said that and turned her gaze forward, a demon popped out of the corner.

It was not goblins, slimes, or the like that appeared, but three lizards wearing iron weapons, Lizardman.

Not that it's an extremely strong demon, but it's usually quite different from a "normal" goblin or something, and it's quite a strong enemy.

At least the Labyrinth of the Crescent Moon doesn't emerge unless it's ahead of the fourth tier.

That said, when it is said how threatening that is to this Member......

No matter who says it, everyone immediately moves into a combat posture.

In the meantime, me and Isaac go in first, wave the sword and cut up the shield of two lizard men, Lizardman.

Lorraine, who confirmed that a gap had emerged there, struck multiple arrows of dirt, causing fatal injuries.

As usual up to this point, but for the last deepest piece of shit left, Laura did.

As she holds her hand toward Lizard Man, suddenly a black space opens up between the bellies of Lizard Man, and Lizard Man compresses toward it.

The sound of a vacuum and a broken bone, the sound of the metal weapon he was wearing hissing, and Karan, what was Lizardman, a small, round lizard man on the ground, made a noise, fell down in the dust.

"... let's go"

... What the hell is that?

If you insist, it's a phenomenon close to my holy demon qifusion technique, but whether I can do it with all my might.

But she almost seemed to have done it one hassle.

Isaac is strong, that's all.

If it's true, I'd like to go in and ask a lot of questions, but they say it's all later.

We don't have time, and we just have to move on anyway, and we ran.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... did you manage to get there"

That's what Laura said when we got right in front of the room where we were relative to Schmini.

"Well, I remember the general position, and the road was crooked, but the directions were generally the same"

"Sounds like it. The magic of labyrinthine is something that changes the internal structure the longer it goes on, so I think it worked out that it didn't take too long to get here. Okay, I'm going to go inside...... are you guys ready?

That's what Laura asked.

The room relative to the Schumini probably hasn't changed its location, but the door was made in front of that room to see if the magical effects were progressing.

It's like the door of a hierarchical lord, as seen in a common labyrinth.

What makes it different is that the decorations are quite fine and flashy, unlike that?

Because it's the beings that control this labyrinth that are inside, I guess.

We nod to Laura as we think about it.

"Oh. We'll have to do it when we get here..."

When I say that, go on, Lorraine, too.

"The ruler of the labyrinth, the nucleus of the labyrinth, the opportunity to see something like that up close, first of all, there's no such thing. I'm looking forward to it."

That's what I say.

And finally, Isaac,

"... in my hands, and I'm the one who wants to give you guidance if I can. Nevertheless, I won't hold on to the last blow, so don't worry about the area."

I said.

I was wondering if I should give it up, or if it would make it easier for you to say so, or if it would make it easier for you to fight.

Even adventurers may give way to the last blow for a variety of reasons.

Of course, if there's nothing you can do about it because life is more important, there are times when you can.

There are various issues of treasure ownership that can arise when you defeat a hierarchical lord, or if you are a related opponent like this one.

"Well, shall we go?"

That's what Laura says, hands on the door.

We grabbed the weapon and thought of a view that would peek across it.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"You're getting bigger all the time..."

That's what Lorraine said.

Sure, there's a giant demon there that was a shmini, but its size is one turn bigger than when we left here.

It was about ten meters long and now it looks like it could be eleven or two meters.

It also has a wide width.

What hasn't changed is about Shmini's face that's surfacing in his belly.

"...... graaaaaa!!!!

And that's where the observation goes and we step into the room, and at the same time, he reacts to us and shouts.

Billy and the room trembled to a huge noise that stung his ears, itself.

I don't care what you think, I can't feel human reason anymore.

The demon itself doesn't seem to need to have any reason to feel it when attacking the existence of a human form.

... Well, I wouldn't hesitate at all even with a goblin or someone else.

If you've been an adventurer for a long time, it's like that.

That upright crocodile demon, who was a shrine, comes at us at a speed we can't imagine from that giant and opens his mouth wide.

"Gentlemen! It's a scatter!

And, Laura says, it's quick, or they're all scattered over the edge of the room.

We scattered in separate directions without even solidifying ourselves because we all decided at the same time that we should deflect our aim.

The battle begins here.
