Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

A few days have passed since my visit to the Oldrin Great Forest.

We stayed in the room we had rented for a while and set up measures to combat the void labyrinth.

Yesterday, I finally got everything ready.

Hands should be perfect.

He won't even notice.

So after that, it's my problem.

And today, we were outside the Great Forest.

It puts a line between signs blockade and has not been noticed by anyone but those on this spot.

Within the juncture, I, Elphi, Beldia, and a handful of human dog breeds (word dogs) including Sepul and Ku are gathered.

Everybody knows we're gonna challenge the void labyrinth.

Knowing it, you're helping us.

"I can't believe I missed the dragon species. When I first saw it, I thought I'd lose my hips."

…………

Within the conjuncture is Berdia, who has solved the humanization.

Beldia's cooperation is essential to getting to the void labyrinth.

And in order to pursue certainty, we needed the cooperation of the human dog breeds.

Within the junction are magic grants (magic items) shaped close to cannons.

This allows you to launch the things inside into the sky depending on the amount of magic you put in.

Naturally, so are people and dragon species.

When the Great Forest warriors headed to the void labyrinth, they were riding a bird-shaped demon they had their hands on and had it launched with this cannon.

It's probably because the altitude is too high and the bird doesn't have the strength to make it to normal.

If you're Beldia, your health is fine.

But it takes time to reach the labyrinth.

In the meantime, you'll also be under attack from the labyrinth.

In the void labyrinth, 'he' is likely waiting.

Even if not, there are many dangers in the void labyrinth.

Without a doubt, the Demon King's Army will be watching out for us and striking some kind of hand.

I've never crossed the risk of committing crimes on the road or the amount of health I drain.

So I decided to use this cannon to make my way to the void labyrinth safer.

I asked Sepul for some help.

One of them is this.

I thought Sepul could be trusted.

I saw it with my own eyes, I thought to myself, I thought so.

So I decided to ask Sepul to cooperate.

"The launcher is ready. It's the magic that Mr. Elfi poured on me, and I'm activating it without any problems.... Still, that's a tremendous amount of magic. If you're a warrior, it'll take you a week to get all this in. in an instant..."

"Your buddy is amazing!

Sepule and the others praise Elfi with a mouthful of praise.

Sure, this guy's magic power is in the wrong digits.

I have yet to see anyone with more magic than this one.

"Phew."

"... Humph"

Elfi and Beldia get a proud look at the same time.

If you praise these guys too much, they'll be in good shape, so I'd like them to be modest......

"Not only Io, but your partner was an amazing guy too!

"Huh, naturally. Dog and daughter. Do you want me to worship you?

"Yeah! Long live your partner!! It stinks a little weird though!

"I don't smell weird!! I don't... should! Io, tell him I won't!

Elfi and Ku are making a scene.

Other than that, Beldia looked somewhere happy without getting angry with Khu's words and actions.

Maybe I'm glad Elfi's looking to have fun.

"Hey buddy, I'm taking a bath...?

"It's right in there!!"

"Er... then why does it smell like this? Sung Sung. What's that bracelet, buddy?

"Sa, don't touch it! Don't stop by! Don't smell it!!"

Khu looks like he's having fun chasing Elfi running around.

"Here, cu! You must be rude to Mr. Elfi!

Sepul scolds me and Khu drools his ears with Shun.

"... sorry"

"Nothing, you don't have to apologize. Totally, I don't give a shit about this either."

"Oh my God! Thanks, weird smelling buddy!

"You're fighting and selling me!?"

Get Elfi on your ass having the kind of interaction you saw somewhere, and get ready.

After that, we made it to the point where we got in the cannon.

"Mr. Sepul... Sepul, thank you"

Keep your head down to Sepul.

"I'm not thanking you, brother"

Khu and the people who helped me get ready. The dog breeds come together.

Looking at them, Sepul said.

"Everyone here is getting help from Amatsu thirty years ago."

――――

"So I'm not thanking you."

People and dog breeds go to the mouth.

"A void labyrinth, please. But don't die," he said.

"... oh. I'm coming."

And so we were launched high in the sky.

◆

With tremendous momentum, we fly to the sky.

Stick to Beldia and endure not to be shaken down.

I wonder how much Elphi put into the magic.

In an instant, the Great Forest goes far away.

'... it's time to be noticed'

Shortly after Beldia said so, there were signs of penetrating something like a membrane.

At that moment, the surrounding space sways.

The sway spread like ripples, with tons of demons blowing out of it.

These are the demons that attack us as we approach the labyrinth?

Apparently, he's usually hiding in the junction.

I think I'm picking up an enemy approaching and coming out on the surface.

"Keep pushing...!

With the momentum launched, we leave the demons behind and fly away.

The demons are coming after us, but this speed is overwhelmingly higher.

penetrate toward a place where there would be a void labyrinth.

And again, I had the feeling of penetrating the membrane.

At the same time, the landscape that was visible to Gallari changes.

In front of me, I saw a huge building.

……

"Is this the modern void labyrinth?"

It was a giant castle.

The castle is floating in the sky.

Circular boundaries cover the perimeter.

I wonder if that junction, which overlaps many layers, floats the castle in the sky.

"... before, that's completely different"

Bigger than then.

Besides, it wasn't a castle like this before, it was made of magic crystals.

The crystals disappeared in a few hours after taking away the labyrinth nucleus….

"... hey. That, if you take the labyrinth nucleus, it's gonna fall, isn't it?

"... it's possible."

That's not a castle made of magic, no matter how you look at it.

We float the castles that we normally build into a void labyrinth.

"For several generations now, the void labyrinth was one that anchored the crystals of magic into the sky. It's impossible for most magicians to float buildings in the sky."

"So that was done by Orteguia?

"... he's not so clever.“ Rain, by its very nature, makes no such building. "

…………

"Speaking of which, Hilde Garda, the first to create a void labyrinth, apparently dropped the labyrinth over Melt's head, enlightened or disapproved when the labyrinth was attacked. Melt said he crushed it with a single blow."

To Elphi's words, exhale.

"Here and now, how about blowing it up"

"I can't do it now. The strength of that junction is unusual. It would be possible to drill a hole and go inside, but it would take too long to destroy the whole junction. Unless there's a connection."

"... I was just trying to say. At worst, if I take the labyrinth nucleus, do I have to blow up this castle?"

"There must be some way to move the labyrinth. You should explore it before you take the labyrinth nucleus."

"... right"

If you have time to do that, though.

The conversation came to a close, a few seconds later.

Ripples appeared in the space right in front of us, and many demons on dragon species popped up from inside.

"It's an intruder!! Don't let him near the labyrinth!!

The demon clan wizards, the dragon breed throws up a brace and strikes simultaneously.

Elphi releases the demonic eye ahead of time, but was inhibited by the junction that was covering the bodies of the demons.

"Exactly as reported! That silver-haired woman is gonna shoot me in the eye! Deal with it in the defensive junction!

The demons are manipulating dragons and showing Elphi's movements to alert his demonic eyes.

After all, were they being taken care of?

'... a little dangerous'

Beldia attacks, but there are too many enemies.

Even as we penetrate, the demons in front of us are in the way.

"Iwo"

"Oh.“ Magic Taunt (Spell Divauer). ""

Nodding, extinguishing the junction that is covering the bodies of the demons.

"What!?"

"Fall but good. -" Demon Eye/Heavy Crushing ""

Gravity knocks me down, and the demons in front of me fall to the ground every dragon.

Now the front road has opened.

But countless demons and demons are looming from behind.

I don't have time to be long.

Beldia pushes toward the labyrinth.

But the labyrinth is covered in boundaries.

To get inside, we have to do something about that junction.

"That's my job! I'll take care of it!

Make your eyes glow red and Elphi sees the line.

Not just the boundaries, but the bigger the magic, the more likely it is to produce flakes.

This void labyrinth should also undoubtedly exist where magic is weak if it is so great a junction.

"... what is this nasty junction?"

Looking at the junction, Elfi is saying something.

But I don't have time to worry about it.

I defend the attack from behind with a "demonic blockade (Il Atalaxia).

A dozen seconds or so away from being caught up?

If you hadn't used cannons, you would have already been surrounded.

"... All right, here we go. Berdia, stick it in there!

That said, Elphi shot a demon eye into a part of the junction.

Roaring, Beldia bursts into it.

I, too, “spell divauer" on that part and diminish the line.

"...... ugh!!"

And Beldia broke through the line.

Shocked, we jump off Beldia and land in the labyrinth.

Berdia also tries to get inside, scratching an empty hole in the junction.

I let him in safely, it was the moment I thought.

'...... na!?'

When I wondered if the junction rocked soft with Brun, I bounced Berdia's body outside, trying to get inside.

And instantly the empty junction was repaired.

Berdia was left outside the labyrinth.

"Huh!! Beldia, I'll make a hole right away"

"No, you don't have that time."

Elfi will immediately deny my plan.

"Beldia, get out of the attack zone of the labyrinth for once. And when the labyrinth junction disappears, send a signal. Pick me up right away."

'... ok'

Cochlear, and Beldia nods.

But there's a bunch of demons coming this way from behind.

Elfi laughed, as she saw through my anxiety like that.

"That's my pet of choice, isn't it? Siege nets of this magnitude are easy to dive through. I didn't put anybody on it."

as if to prove that word of Elphi,

"-" Hellfire Armor ""

A tremendous black flame erupted from Beldia's entire body.

"... Your husband, Iori. Good luck. '

Leaving that behind, Beldia moves away from the labyrinth with great momentum.

The demons attack, but they are inhibited by black flames and do not reach Beldia.

On the contrary, it is burned by flames and falling.

... I didn't know there was such a trump card.

I wanted you to say it first.

I think so, and when I look at Elphi,

"Wow... did you do that..."

"You didn't know that either."

The Demons are coming this way, even while we're having such an exchange.

If they were, they would go through the junction and into the labyrinth.

"Let's go, Elfi"

"Uhm."

With Elfi, I set foot in the last labyrinth.

◆

It was dark inside.

Maybe he's planting some sort of light-absorbing magic on the wall or on the ground.

Use Magic Grants (Magic Items) to illuminate your surroundings.

The interior of the void labyrinth had a complex structure.

There are a large number of stairs going up and sidewalks.

We didn't know which was the normal path, and we had a large number of traps in place.

Step by step, we must proceed with caution.

The traps being set were many similar to those of thirty years ago.

Step on it, floors and stairs where the scaffolding disappears and is dropped to the ground.

A room with no more floors at a certain cycle, a room with an entrance closed the moment you enter and a floor open at the same time.

No magic, classic pitfalls, etc.

The darkness around us is adding extra danger.

Pretty bad, apparently.

In the sense of first sight or instant death, it is by far the most dangerous labyrinth.

I don't rely solely on Elfi's demonic eyes, I'm vigilant around them too.

The two of us dive through the trap and move on.

"It's a really nasty labyrinth, even though it's troublesome just to say it's in the air, this place is"

"You had your time, didn't you?

"It did happen, but I was trying to reach a truce. I didn't really use the labyrinth."

Avoid traps and move up and up.

Thanks to Berdia, I was able to come from the beginning to the middle of the labyrinth.

As soon as possible, dark magic vegetables are starting to drift.

Naturally, there are many demons.

The demons of the void labyrinth all have the means to fly.

Many come from overhead with accidental strikes.

"Kjee!!"

A bat about two meters from the sky attacked.

A demon who deals with the magic of the Wind attribute, the Wind Bat (Air Bad).

The strength of the whole thing is not so great, and even if you can flock, it's not hard to deal with.

Except in this labyrinth.

"Run, Elfi!

A few seconds after the wind bat sounded, his feet vanished.

We approach the wind bat with a dash, passing by and wiping it out with magic.

Apparently, in response to the voice of the wind bat, it's a mechanism by which some floors are gone.

Run through it before the floor disappears and we'll figure it out, but that's a pretty dangerous trap.

"This would have caused quite a few casualties inside, even if the Great Forest Warriors had put them in the labyrinth"

Great forest warriors are strong.

Fighting alone won't pull you off the Cathedral Knights.

In addition to their original physical abilities, the warriors do not fail to train.

The Demon King's Army is also on a level that can't be overwhelmed.

Still, this labyrinth must be tight.

"Again, floating in the sky sucks for those who can't fly"

"Oh......"

Detect the presence of demons in front of you and destroy them with demon eyes before they ring.

I will also look for a way forward and break through the trap to guide Elfi.

So far, so good.

Like thirty years ago, no sacrifice.

Previously I was finally working with my buddies and some sub guys.

We're a brave party.

And a selection of the warriors.

Fifteen of them challenged the labyrinth.

Approaching the labyrinth aboard a bird-shaped demon caught by the subhumans.

By the time I got inside, three people were dead.

After entering, Lewsas detected the magical trap and the warriors spotted the other trap in a wild inquiry.

Still, four people died inside.

If the void labyrinth of thirty years ago was what it is now, it would have died more.

Every time you progress, the number of demons increases.

Like wind bats, some demons attacked in tandem with the labyrinth, while others boasted considerable combat power.

There are also many dragon species, like the Winged Dragon (Wyburn) and the Flaming Dragon (Flame Dragon).

There were demons of ancient species that Elphi didn't even know existed.

Demon levels are high, not normal.

But Elfi slaughtered the end of it.

Almost never even got my hands on it.

In advance, he knew the types of demons that would come out, and he also had measures in place.

But more than that, Elfi's power to regain the 'torso' was overwhelming.

Tear apart demons with your bare hands without having to use your demon arms.

I don't have to use demon legs, I just kick and blow the demon away.

With demonic eyes, even dragon species are instantly wiped out.

Aren't you stronger than most of the Four Kings I've ever fought?

At least, it's better than “disappear” or “distort”.

I fought thirty years ago, “Thousand Weirds” and “Cutting” are hard places to judge.

"You haven't got your heart back, but this strength? If there's such a thing, even a brave man can't win without calling."

"You're being rude."

says Elfi as he swells his cheeks.

"Even if we don't summon the brave, there are as many examples of humans beating demons. My predecessor, the Demon King, Master Sharnak, has also been defeated by man."

"Speaking of which, you've heard that before."

"Human strength is a group. That number and the ingenuity to win is above all horrible. But, well, I'm one of the strongest demon kings of all time. It's hard to beat me if you don't call me Io."

Orteguia, who broke such an elphi, is now the demon king.

The human side will be a pretty tough fight.

"Nevertheless, don't feel it for a long time"

As I walked, Fu and Elfi muttered so.

"What?

"This is how you walk alone with Io."

"Well, you are. Beldia and I haven't been acting together lately."

I don't think the two of us have acted since we challenged the Abominable Labyrinth.

That makes me feel like I do miss you.

"It's been a long time since we met at the Nara Labyrinth. Looking back, I think it was short and long."

"Uhm. I have crossed four labyrinths and buried many away. Looking back on my life, it was a long and intense period. This time, it will crush the last labyrinth. That's a big milestone."

Big milestones, huh?

Right. In many ways, it will.

"The magic vegetables are getting much darker. You'll be on the top floor in less than half an hour. Are you ready, Io?"

"... oh. It's gonna be a tough fight."

Keep your perimeter alert and tell Elfi.

"Elfi. - Help me."

I thought it was a weak statement.

"Naturally."

I couldn't get my hair in, Elfi nodded.

"Feeling on the back of a dragon, Io only does what he has to do, but it's good. I'll stand by you."

"... oh"

We moved on.

◆

Then I walked for about fifteen minutes.

The intensity of the magic vegetables shows that the labyrinth nucleus is nearby.

But there were countless rooms and stairs leading up.

Trap, kick the demons, narrow the path one by one.

As such, the only thing left was a staircase leading up.

"... let's go"

"Uhm."

Step by step, proceed up vigilantly.

Shoulder watermark, there was no trap on the stairs.

Nothing, we get to the upper room.

Carefully, it was the moment I stepped inside the room.

Nothing, a circular room.

Instead of the labyrinth nucleus, there are no demon generals or demons.

"... you mean that"

Shortly after, the entrance made a noise and closed.

At the same time, his feet made noises and collapsed.

We lose our scaffolding and we fall upside down.

Turning his gaze downstairs, he saw the cloud sea widening.

"-"

"Mm-hmm."

I've explored all the paths I can get through.

It was this room that remained on top of it.

I mean, from the beginning, all the passageways, they weren't connected to the top.

The guy who built this labyrinth has a really good personality.

"Please."

Copy that.

Speak briefly, and I will travel to the immediate vicinity of Elphi in the magic of the wind.

And when Elfi grabs me, he uses his demon legs to kick the sky.

Tan, tan, tan, and run up the sky, approaching the outer walls of the void labyrinth.

"In the intensity of the magic vegetables, it's just around the top of that room. You want to hold that far?

"It's okay."

Keep moving up and up,

"- Demon King Kick!!"

Against the outer wall, Elfi slammed the kick in.

The wall collapses with the roar, and from there we enter the room.

It was a large circular room.

The ceiling is high and domed.

At the back of the room, I saw the entrance leading to the next room.

There is also a staircase that leads up to another location.

Apparently, it's still up there.

But there are those who must be dealt with before proceeding to you.

"... I didn't know anyone really got this far"

"I'm sorry about Lady Lefiese's usual worries..."

In the room, there were countless demons.

There are people, animals, and various forms of people.

From the surrounding atmosphere, we can see that he is a strong man accustomed to fighting.

"Thank you for your security. I'd like to work for you if I were you. Hate and we need help ahead. If you spare your life, leave it, warriors."

…………

Elphi hangs those words, but the demons don't respond.

Each of them is arming up and pointing their skin toward this side of the spectrum.

Naturally, there doesn't seem to be room for conversation.

"Dear Silfeld, it's an enemy attack. Give it your full strength."

One of the demons tells him so quietly.

Shortly afterwards, an awesome breeze blew through the room.

Something appeared in the room, tearing the space apart, making a sound with the bees.

"You are the modern Demon General."

It was a giant dragon species that showed up.

White scales covering the entire body, deer-like horns protruding from the head, long, thin mustaches like a beard growing from the mouth.

From a serpent-like long torso grows sharp clawed arms and feet.

- Tenfeng Dragon (Tempest Dragon).

It is a dragon species that manipulates the magic of wind attributes, mainly inhabited in the sky.

I've been dealing with a couple of them on my way here.

But the heavenly wind dragon in front of us is several times the size of those individuals.

It is so giant that it is comparable to the earthly demon general.

This is the Wind Demon General.

Protect the Last Labyrinth, The Last Demon General.

- Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

The Wind Demon General growls at this one.

A tornado covers his body as he makes a noise with the gully.

As it followed, the demons began to move.

"Sorry, I'm gonna kick your ass."

Thus began the battle against the Wind Demon General.

- Lucifina's appearance remains invisible anywhere.
