The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

"It's as hot as ever."

Pass the announcement hall, where voices echo around, and continue where the dewstores line up in disorder.

Adventurers flock to sellers, chaotic situations.

- If you don't have an item box, I'll do the porter, the loader. Somebody hire me!

- I have a big shield. If you hire me, you won't be afraid of monsters!

- Sell maps representing first to second tier traps.

Shall we take a look at the map office?

Head to where the sellers of the map gather.

As soon as I approached him, a scaleman in a robe who was on the spot spoke.

"Brother, do you want a map?

"I don't know if I'll buy it, but what do you have?

The appearance of this merchant is, indeed, a race called the Calamnians.

"How about this? There are several routes written between trap notation, monster room, transfer from ground floor to second floor."

"How much is that?

Something like, "Thirty-five gold coins."

I feel a little high on the market, but the leather cloth the merchant is showing has a solid map.

Let's remember this price.

"Well, for now, no. Maybe next time."

"Really?

Walk away from the Calamnian merchant peeking an unfortunate face from the robe headscarf and looking at other dewstores.

So, I smell good food.

No, I was planning on finishing my breakfast here.

"Nyah, nya."

The black cat (Lolo) on his shoulder moved his nose and reacted to the smell.

"Do you want to eat there and then dive into the labyrinth?

"Nyao."

He rang vigorously, licking his pello and cheek.

"- Hih, Lolo, okay, so stop licking me in a row, tickle me. I'm not eating, am I?

I don't know if you're urging me to eat or kidding, but I hurried to the store where I smelled fragrant with such an excited black cat (Lolo) on my shoulder.

Arrived in front of the shop where the meat is cooked, which is the source of the smell.

Is it a store that performs cooking?

A brilliantly clear juice drips down from the thick, grilled, large meat hanging from the net.

Prowlers also took that large piece of meat, and the matching colored black shopkeeper was hitting the longitudinal gizzard blade on the surface of the meat, dropping the blade from top to bottom, cutting the meat thinly.

From the cut, a lot of gravy drips.

Yabe, that sounds awesome...

I'm not a black cat (Lolo), but I can't help but swallow my spit and throat.

It's like meat dishes like Brazilian shrasco.

"... seems to"

When spit overflowed from nature and mouth, he was squealing those words.

"Nah."

The Black Cat (Lolo) seems to agree with me.

The small sign decorated under the shop was inscribed with the name "Totra's butcher shop", a prairie-grown big deer (Kaseb) specialty.

Kaseb.

I've heard of meat by that name.

It's a skewer I sold on Heka Trail.

That was delicious, but this one smells appetizing.

The price list says large meat, one large copper coin, middle meat, five small copper coins, small meat, one small copper coin.

It's cheap, and you want big and middle meat?

Quickly, I spoke to the colored black shopkeeper.

"Give me one large roasted meat, one medium meat"

"Yes, one big copper coin and five small copper coins."

From the item box, hand over the copper coin.

"- Every time, now I hang the sauce."

The macho shop owner smoothly serves the cut meat to the plate, and from the pot that was on the side, sprinkles the sauce with a small balls, and hangs the sauce with a small sauce to the meat.

At the end of the day he was covered with vegetables like spring onions and red spices like eagle claws.

"Done. Yes, sir."

The shopkeeper served me meat dishes.

"Thanks."

From the slightly purple baked meat stands the hot air, a simple dish mixed with spices in a black sauce and onion vegetables.

When I gave the black cat (Lolo) the big meat, he had a lot of momentum.

I'll eat too.

There is no fork, so stab the dagger in the tender flesh and carry it to your mouth.

At first, a good tooth is enough.

When the meat was carried to his back teeth, and he chewed off the soft meat with his back teeth, a large amount of gravy overflowed his mouth from the meat.

One bite, two bites, and the meat is gone.

This one tastes better than the skewered Heka Trail.

Lunga beef diced steak was delicious, but you didn't lose this cassel meat either.

stained bottom flavor, how it ages, or this black sauce?

The sauce is close to the flavour of the medium dark sauce of Bulldog-O.

The spicy taste of red spices irritates my tongue.

This looks like chili.

Speaking of spices, there should still have been a little bit of celu powder.

Master and Ragren used to hang it on meat.

The item box contains the spices I bought from Heka Trail, so it might taste better if I hung it.

With that in mind, I eat savory meat.

Other adventurers' guests also had BBQ on their cheeks with their daggers stabbed in the meat or hand grabbed.

Black cat (Lolo) is also eating meat to the effect that it seems to be bumpy.

Along the way, turning his figure into a leopard, he was eating as he roared. Nobody takes meat...

To that characteristic roar, what? What? And it got my attention from other customers.

Because it's close to black leopards now......

While I stand the gaze of curiosity, I carry in my stomach the savoury grilled meat that has become scarce.

When the black cat (Lolo) finishes eating, he returns to the smaller black cat.

He repeatedly washed his face satisfactorily.

Worry about stocking this delicious meat in the item box.

I still have food purchased on the [Heka Trail], so can we do this next time?

All right, I ate and I challenge you to the labyrinth.

From near the entrance and exit of the short tower, when we tried to walk to the short tower, which is the entrance and exit building of the labyrinth,

"Don't you need any herbs?"

This is the white-eyed girl I saw the other day.

With a small hand of poor stature, he holds a large, healthy, and unchanged appearance carrying a large bunch of medicinal herbs.

Is she selling again?

"Rollo, let's go"

He put the black cat (Rollo) on his shoulder and approached the herbal selling girl to talk.

"Hey, I was wondering if you could sell me some herbs"

"Oh, thank you - oh, the other day?

Are you a little blind?

Are you judging by your voice?

"Do you remember? That's right. It would help if you sold it again."

"Happy, go ahead. Copper coin, five pieces."

I get the herbs and hand them out of the item box with big copper coins.

"... Also, big copper coins. That's two minutes."

Mm, this kid, he touches the surface of the copper coin many times with his little palm to make sure.

I also checked at my fingertips.

Actually, I think I see it. Maybe I don't see it.

Do you just have good ears?

Ma, I just made this assumption, it doesn't make sense.

"Don't worry about it. Take it. See you later."

"Ahh."

Don't make me say yes or no, gently raise your arms and say goodbye.

I rushed to the entrance and exit of the labyrinth.

He's always full of herbs... he's not selling them.

I hope I can sell more herbs from now on.

In a sympathetic manner, he enters the building, the entrance to the labyrinth, in the mood for a face pass showing the guard a spa adventurer card.

In the central lens there was a group of adventurers assembling.

When leaders say mysterious euphemisms, all of them disappear.

Come on, let's go, too.

Stand in front of the crystal and chant "warp" as you touch the crystal.

Warp completed to a single layer of lens.

The ceiling has a geometry like a magic formation that is a bright light source.

As the other day, the height of the ceiling remains unchanged.

The same is true for octagonal rooms, up, down, left and right with arched entrances and exits.

But the shades on the walls and ceilings are a little dark?

Do you want to proceed appropriately without worrying?

"Rollo, let's go"

"Nha."

Select the passage above.

As I proceeded down the aisle, I saw the room first.

And it also sounds like you're fighting with a magic vegetarian.

Looks like a party is fighting inside.

Excuse me, I went into a room scattered with little rocks.

It was a party of three adventurers fighting a flock of rats.

There were other small goblins, Brandell.

Surrounded, but the battles are dominated by the adventurers.

The three adventurers were showing skilful collaboration and defeating the rats.

I went through the edge of the wall to stay out of their way and out of the room from the right aisle in the four corners.

Walking down the aisle with no one for a while......

The height of the aisle has changed around ten meters and the width of the crossing has narrowed.

That's where I found the stairs.

As you take a small run down the stairs, the temperature drops and the cold wind rushes through your whole body.

That's the same as when you came forward.

As I went down the stairs feeling the wind, I went out into the left and right divided passage.

Which way?

Murphy's Law, Fleming's Law of the Left Hand, Power, Magnetic Field, Current, It's Behind Your Brain That You've Learned.

Doesn't make sense, but the divide is left hand, choose left.

Going straight to the left, I caught my eye on a geometric light source on a narrowed left and right wall.

Is this glowing pattern a unified design in this labyrinth?

Similar designs were found in the ceilings of special spaces where crystal-like lumps were seated.

With that in mind, the exorcism reacts from the beginning.

Little magic vegetable, rat. Three.

- I thought I was going to kill you, and the black cat (Lolo) is already running forward.

Transform into a black leopard shape while running.

Not elimakitori lizards, but tentacles stretched from around their necks look like they've spread a black umbrella.

Is that it? Not like usual.

The tentacles concentrate in one place so as to narrow the umbrella.

Eventually, it was a single thick black tentacle.

The silver ivory bone sword, null out of a single thick black tentacle, was also thrusting through the universe as it became a thick, step-billa-sized bone sword and spiraled.

Well... rats, they look pathetic.

It was determined that the belly of the rat, which had been struck directly by a thick bone sword, was instantly amputated and became a meat mass and dispersed.

Awesome, overkill.

Furthermore, the black leopard (Lolo) makes a black leopard move to capture his prey when he changes his tentacles to their original size without anything to accommodate them in his neck.

With sharp claws growing on his forelegs, he smashed into his neck, eating and tearing and chewing repeatedly as he slammed him down to cover his rat.

- Lolo, Nice.

"Ng, ha."

Mr. Lolo, who drips blood from his mouth but is also a doorman.

Well done. And I'll stroke your head.

Let's retrieve the little demon stone that the rat has.

"Lolo, for once, be vigilant around?

I have a knowledge check, so I'm not worried, but I'll leave it to Black Cat (Lolo) to be vigilant.

In the meantime, I stripped the demon stone from the mouse carcass.

I need to get used to this work, too.

Put the magic stone in the magic bag and finish collecting it before proceeding out through the aisle.

Also arrive in a room with arched entrances and exits up, down, left and right.

There were multiple demonic reactions in the room.

I thought it was just the reaction of the monster, and there's an adventurer figure.

Select the aisle to the right to avoid interfering in party combat.

Proceeding down the right aisle, the rat appears again.

but soon the black cat (lolo) cleaned me up.

Collect the demon stone from the carcass and continue down the aisle.

Now, the Y-shape appears in two overlapping passages.

Four passages diagonally.

From the directions I've been going by, it's assumed to be to the left to the back.

Take the left aisle in front of you.

Then the height and width narrowed.

Become a zigzag aisle, no branches, straight lines.

About enough, magic vegetarian reaction.

I saw a small goblin first.

It's a bunch of brandels. Five wrapped up.

"Lolo, now I'm gonna kill you"

"- Nnh."

The black cat (Lolo) who was about to run out first heard me and stopped.

There is no one around.

For the miscellaneous fish around here, it's a magic experiment.

Try the crest magic.

Running over to the little Gob's Brandels...

Speak of Freeze Splash, a frozen blade chaotic net.

That moment.

Beautiful water-colored magic formations unfold in front of you.

Countless ice ray blades appeared about their length from the magic formations floating in the universe.

The ice wire blade flies to the target area while creating overlapping meshes as it rotates laterally.

Brandell and the others were caught by a mesh ice blade like a fish hung on a net.

If you make a mesh wound all over your body, it will fall apart in an instant and turn into a small piece of flesh.

Freeze Splash, a frozen blade chaos net, collides with the floor of the labyrinth without losing momentum while flattening the monster.

A canyon of linear mesh scratches is formed on the colliding floor.

That's very powerful, too.

I didn't expect to scratch the labyrinth itself......

There are only scratches in the direction Brandell was in.

It has some orientation, but it's too scary to use this magic if you have company.

I guess I'll get used to it if I try it a few times.

Try different magic next time......

With that in mind, I'm going to look for the Demon Stone.

Demonic stones had fallen around the area scattered with numerous pieces of flesh.

Wash your hands with the water of life magic, and also wash away the blood of demon stones.

The little demonic stones that were falling are all different in shape but have many rhombus shapes.

The colors of the Demon Stone were green and yellow.

Is the goblin system in this shade? The color of the rat's demon stone should have been colorless.

Take a peek at the demon stone in your hand.

This looks more like a gem than a stone.

Rhomboid stone... Do you want me to, uh, do this, maybe... and then I flashed, so I remember the ◆ rhomboid mark in the item box.

Deliver Elenium Stone.

Maybe we could divert it with demon stones...

Try it.

Operate the item box by touching the sun mark on the surface of the bracelet in the item box and emitting "Open".

A window opens and the usual menu screen appears.

Line the menu with the "◆" rhomboid mark with your index finger. Touch.

Windows change just as they did the other day.

◆: Total Elenium Storage: 0

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Elenium stones required: 50: incomplete.

Reward: Hangar 15 +: Record Base Unleashed.

Elenium stones required: 100: incomplete.

Reward: Hangar 20 +: Calleudoscope liberation.

Elenium stones required: 200: incomplete.

Reward: Hangar 25 +: Features dimension scanning.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Drop the green demon stone to the large rhombus mark on the left.

The letters then appeared under the rhombus marks displayed in the window.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Detect unknown stones... Magnetic Fit Rate 50%

Less than 80% will be played.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the end of the display, the small green demonic stone I put in fell from under the window.

Pick up the fallen demon stone.

It was labeled fifty percent with this little green demon stone.

That could mean more than eighty percent for a medium demon stone.

We need to collect the demon stones for the request...

The next time I get the Medium Demon Stone, I want to drop the Demon Stone on the Rhombus Mark again to see how it reacts.

If the dropped Medium Demon Stone is recognized as Elenium Stone, I would be happy.

If it is recognized and convenient, it will reward you and lead to the enhancement of the item box.

Then, for once, try the other little demon stones.

All four other green little demon stones were fifty percent.

On the other hand, the colorless little demonic stone put out by the rat gives a slightly higher percentage of sixty percent.

Because the colors of the demon stones are colorless and transparent?

But in any case, it doesn't reach eighty percent.

Next time you get the Medium Demon Stone.

So I switch my thoughts.

Erase the window shown and proceed through the labyrinth.

As we proceeded through the zig-zag passage, we headed out onto the T-shaped path.

Now proceed to the right. There are more corridors bent to draw the curve.

As I walked, I could see the curved passage going straight and the brightness disappearing from the end of the passage.

The light sources on the walls and ceilings are gone.

It's dark up ahead. You got a trap or something?

Activate.

"Hermé, lend me your perspective for once."

"Hi."

Do an image of grasping the spiritual hermes that appear in your sight with your gaze.

Activated the Spirit's eyes.

"Ah."

Ignore Herme's little voice and look in the aisle.

It also releases - check the far floor.

Knock on near-field floors and walls with a demon spear wand and walk carefully.

Then, multiple small magic reactions were felt from the end of the darkness.

Eyes on the magic vegetables, confirm.

Thermal reaction also to thermography, the eye of the Spirit.

The bat is clearly shown in red.

Are the bat monsters the small reaction?

Remove the Spirit's eye and confirm it only with the Magic Eye.

It also looked like magic vegetarian light was distributed on the ceiling.

Dozens of them are swarmed.

There's a lot of them, but I don't know.

"Rollo, I'll do it, so stay back."

"Nha."

Black Cat (Lolo) retreats as instructed.

All right, get ahead of yourself.

Primary: "Ice Bullet (Freezebread)" of water attribute

Primary: "Ice Blade (Freeze Sword)" for water attribute

Intermediate: Ice Arrow of Water Attribute

Next, try and shoot these three in sequence.

First, Ice Bullets.

The ice bullet hit the head of a bat monster that was stopped in the ceiling.

The subject puts a hole in his head and falls to the floor.

Then the other stopped bat monsters flew in unison and attacked me.

Damn, you missed the magic of shooting.

If you tried range magic, it would have been annihilated in an instant.

In the dark, I narrowed my eyebrows a little, remorseful.

I don't care about anything like that, bats showing sharp fangs from my mouth.

Is it accurately capturing position with ultrasound even in the dark, looming?

But I'm not going to let you get so close.

Move your left hand down and eject.

Treat the chain like a whip and move it to gain momentum, shooting down multiple flying bats at the same time.

Try magic at the same time.

Intermediate: Water Attribute Magic.

Activate Ice Arrow.

Unlike Ice Bullets, this magic produced thick ice arrows with about human arms.

It looks like a spear, even from the size of a white, shining beam on the tip.

The gleaming beam flew to tear the darkness apart.

Bat monsters flying fast through the universe, but ice arrows capture bat monsters without difficulty.

The first one had pierced his belly, the next had his head slammed through, the third one had hit his feathers and stabbed him in the ceiling as he involved a few.

I can use this inside too.

But not yet, there are many bat monsters.

You thought the magic attack had stopped, and the bat monsters that were flying around had plummeted all at once.

I do a lateral rotation on the spot with my fingertips on the axis, avoiding a sudden descent attack from a bat with its mouth out to bite.

At the same time, I remembered the elementary: water attribute magic Ice Blade (Freeze Sword).

Activated as you wave your arm to slash with a hand knife.

A long sword-sized ice blade frontally collided on the counter to the flying bat, turning the torso into two straight pieces so as to break the paper.

Continue with Ice Bullets (Freezebread).

Immediately activated.

Then release twice.

Where the ice bullet captured the belly of the bat and shot it off, a glimmer of light penetrated the bellies and feathers of other bat monsters as they arced and tracked (homed) the universe.

A succession of magic and skill moves succeeded.

Also use and shoot down bat monsters one after the other.

The sound of breathless carcasses falling to the ground lasts for a while before the passage quiets down.

Eventually, there was a completely quiet air that suited the darkness.

Finally, I tried using magic and skills in a row, but I can show them around.

Continuous moves, because no chanting is available.

Skill looks magical.

It's not magic. It's a skill, so it's a vicious performance.

The skill looks like a "light spear," and I mistake it for absolute magic at first glance.

Hmm? Skills, but that's magic. So, it seems to make sense.

Now, do the demon stone retrieval.

Dismantled with a dagger. Remove and clean the demon stone to twist the bat carcass and collect it.

Small demonic stones in black and red shades.

Combining the rats with Brandell, they gathered all thirty.

Little demon stones also become gold.

But it's a trivial thing, so if you can ignore it, you can ignore it.

"Rollo, you can go back now."

"Nnh, nya"

Mr. Lolo walks ahead with a slightly dissatisfied throat.

Use the Spirit's eyes as the dark passage continues.

Proceed while making a check to see if there is a trap on the floor.

Proceeding for hours while defeating monsters such as small gobs and rats that are gushing in the aisle.

Found something like a trap in the aisle.

After the trap had already been activated, more than half of the floor had collapsed.

- Pitfalls.

A peek below reveals countless sword mountains at the bottom.

Nobody in Kenyama sees any signs of being trapped, so they don't have anyone hooked up to this.

The Black Cat (Lolo) returns to its usual size and fits into my fixed position.

There is a small amount of free space next to the trap.

Keep your feet aligned along the walls of that tiny space while you twist, slowly, and forward.

I could safely cross from side to side.

The pit has been safely crossed, but there may also be a pit trap.

So check the middle floor from along the wall.

Nothing responds. Looks fine.

Proceed with your fearful feet and move to the middle.

Walk a little further from there.

Just in case, stretch the chain to the front floor and check.

- There was a reaction there.

The floor opens both ways.

Frightened, it was another trap right ahead.

Is it about 20 meters deep?

At the bottom, you can see sword mountains and pile blades. But the vertical width of the hole is less than ten meters.

I'm going to be able to jump over it with a leap.

But stop it.

I don't want to go beyond it if it's a trap.

On the side along the wall there is a small amount of free space, as just now, so proceed with the narrow side there.

A spear jumps out of the sidewall while you're crossing? I don't like to imagine it, but it was okay.

Cross carefully and return again to the middle of the dark passage.

Proceed while checking the trap.

A little further down such a dark aisle, I could see the lights ahead.

Room with light source. and release the Spirit's eyes.

It took time, but it seemed to succeed in safely passing through the dark passage where the trap was.

Head early enough to the room where the brightness leaks.

Confirm the room. At the same time, there was a monster's magic vegan reaction.

There's an arched passage up, down, left and right, the usual, mon room.

Defeating the small goblins that were swarming in the room without a pair of spears, retrieving the demon stone and then proceeding up the aisle for about thirty minutes, it was a dead end there.

It's a labyrinth. Sometimes this happens.

From the end of nowhere to go, run back to the monster room and now select left.

The zigzag passage continued on the left.

Moving on for a while, a large wide range of descending staircases come into view.

Hmm? The brightness of the wall around the stairs increased.

Something's going on here.

The wide range of stairs lasted long and all the way down.

Running down the stairs in a staggering ninja mood.

At the end of your sight, you can see the space expanding from the end of the stairs.

Different from the others from this staircase......

So I had an immediate prediction that it was a special room.

Enter that room. It's an octagonal room.

Not much wind, but neither wet nor dry.

In the center was seated a characteristic thick crystal lens.

There's an arched entrance and exit to the top, bottom, left and right of this space, so I guess there's a passage ahead just like I've been going.

But are we done here on the ground floor?

Is it upstairs already?

As we can return from the crystal lens to the ground......

If Rebecca's right, touch this crystal and say upstairs or two, you'll be randomly warped to a different second layer of the labyrinth.

It's easy to understand on the walls of the dungeon, and it's easy here when upstairs or something is carved, but there's no such convenient sign.

But the special room where the lens sits has a ceiling of about twenty meters, and the octagonal space, it's no different anywhere?

With such a trivial doubt in mind, he reaches closer to the crystal lens sitting in the center.

When my finger touched the crystal, a letter floated from the surface.

Blue and purple letters for “double layer area”.

It is displayed while flashing.

Again, this is upstairs.

Quickly. Want to try?

"Upstairs"

I don't know if I can get a visual glitch - warp is complete.

On the surface of the lens, the letter "upstairs" that I called flashes.

Is that it? Different shape? The shape of the lens is different.

Before warping, it was fine, a sloppy shape, but the crystalline form touching in front of me was vertically high, rectangular and slim.

It's not an obelisk, but it's surprisingly shaped.

Although it's not a complete rectangle because of the irregularities.

I take my gaze off such a crystal lens... and look inside the room where I've been newly warping.

It doesn't change that it's an octagonal space.

The ceiling height is slightly lower and the geometric lines of the light sources are increased? I also feel like it.

The floor is an innocent cream color.

Until just now, it was gray, so I feel bright because of the light source.

The walls were also close to cream color but mixed with gray.

Only two entrances and exits to such rooms are left and bottom.

As before, no arched inlet or outlet existed up, down, left or right.

"Nah."

"Master Lolo will instruct you."

As it happens, the black cat (Lolo) is pointing his tentacles and tail to the left.

"Do you follow Lolo"

"Yes."

Select the left aisle while talking to Hermé.

The width of the aisle is around twenty meters.

It's not exactly measurable, so it's a complete sighting......

Walking slightly, Black Cat (Rollo) descends from shoulder to floor, looks like a medium-sized black leopard, and walks a little further ahead of me.

I wonder if you're feeling signs of fighting, wild exploration, hunting time.

A two-tiered passage close to milky white.

Most requests for monster crusades are for monsters that appear after these two tiers.

The request I received is also two-tiered.

So I can say from here it's the real thing in the labyrinth.

How often do the monsters in the request come out......

Walk down the aisle with tension and excitement.

Mastery inspection and magic eye were used to continue the perimeter observation.

See if it's safe to slap a near-field floor with a demon spear wand.

The chains were also released at a distance and proceeded while checking whether the floor would react.

There seems to be no trap.

- And the moment I thought about it, the spear suddenly popped out of the side.

- Hurry with "Half a spin on the toe". The black cat (Lolo) is leaping and clever.

If you're relieved, it's suddenly here.

In return for his surprise, he smashed and broke the rusty spear of red tea flying out of the hole in the left and right walls.

But the signs of the trap seemed nowhere......

And, after a good look at his feet, he was treading on the ground with his right foot concave.

This, the weight sensor?

The weight of the chain didn't seem to respond.

I haven't checked all the floors with the spear wand either.

Until then when it comes to carelessness, it's somewhat of a hundred million robberies to go through all the traps by yourself...

Well, I'm gonna force you out even if you hang on a trap.

I hate to hurt.
