Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

“Oh, brother, what are you doing here? Did you fight alone? ”

When I came back from killing spiders, it was the first thing Gil Yumi heard. She looks quite surprised and observes my clothes, and the blood on her clothes seems to come into her eyes.

Usually my battle ended neatly. In fact, even when I bought Goblins, when I killed dolls, it was rare for their blood to be on my clothes, but it seemed that spider blood was noticeable because of it.

This was unexpected for me. I liked killing spiders. It was certainly good to put a sword in the head of a spider who tried to flee like a thread and soared into the sky, but I didn't think of the blood that gushed out at that moment.

I opened my mouth by stealing the blood that remained faint in the cheek.

“It's gonna be okay for a while. I came here to kill the spiders who were controlling the dolls. ”

"Now, hold on! Why are you doing such a dangerous thing by yourself! “

“I had no choice. I was the one who fell for him. If you came, you might have run away. And it's also the result that I wanted. ”

“· · · Did you say that you would come and go from the beginning? ”

I looked around with just a nod without an answer. I wonder if the rest was enough. I looked at the faces of the children and determined that it was okay to check their condition.

“Then let's move. ”

It was time to move back with that horse. The rest was thought to be enough. But something grabbed my hem. Turning around, Gil Yumi was pulling my clothes.

“· · · We'll try too, so don't do anything dangerous by yourself. Because you have no idea what's going to happen here, as I said before. ”

The voice is small, just like I said when I hesitated to shake my hand pulling on my clothes. What should I say? In addition to Gil Yumi, I could notice that other children's gazes were similar.

After all, there was only one thing I had to say about it.

“I'll try. ”

We continue to penetrate the forest of spiders. He killed the spider who attacked us, but the raid was still frequent.

Even in such difficulties, he cuts off the body of a man who does not know who he is and advances forward.

On the second day, the children also seemed to get used to killing dolls. Or is it right to be insensitive? When fighting dolls, it still doesn't look good, but still swings the weapon without stopping.

Everyone shook their teeth and cut off the dolls' lives, and didn't forget to take care of the spider that pops out of there. However, defeating the dolls did not end the fight.

If I really wanted to end the fight, I would have to kill the spiders who control these things.

I knew that well, so while the kids were taking care of the dolls, I was on my own to find Mother Spider and move. Maybe it's because of me that the kids have made such a rapid change.

As I continue to fight at risk by myself, it seems worrying that they are trying to carry as much as they can. A typical example was Gil Yumi.

At first Gil Yumi tried to cover my back, but her well-trained body as an athlete couldn't keep up with my speed. It was a technical issue beyond mere physical abilities.

All she can do is draw attention to me so that the dolls don't stick together. Gathering dolls together with shouting is nothing more than a common skill.

After all, this fight flowed like before. With the help of the children, he pulls out the dolls and leaps forward. Less than a minute later, he pulls his head.

‘This one is bigger than the one I just saw. ’

With several pairs of red pupils, the size of the spider that will move over 2m feels like it will get fed up just by watching. He's that big. I've dealt with some of these guys.

I think there were quite a lot of them. Then I want you to realize that even the spiders can't hurt us. It is relatively well handled, but we do not know when the limit will come.

Kieeeeeee!

As soon as I saw him, I burst into a feeding laugh as I saw a spider that was making a horrible sound like a scream. They reacted the same way every time.

His mouth widens as he shouts something he doesn't want to hear. Something thin that is hard to check with the eyes is emitted. It was a spider web. Seeing the spider web emanating, I quickly turned around.

The sticky touch that passes next to his face is offensive and approaches him. His spider web is just a threat. There is no risk there.

Aaaaaaaah!

After stopping in front of him in an instant, I put down my sword without any thought. When the blade breaks the hard crust and digs into it, his movement stops with a human-like scream.

After pulling the sword, I decided to go back to the children. Even though it was the spider that just killed the doll, the parasitic spiders inside didn't disappear.

They continue to follow the last command until the end, even if the spider that controls it dies. At first, I expected the spider to stop like a robot that was powered down when it died, but it was just a vain delusion.

“Are you here? You're not hurt. ”

By the time I got back, the children's fight seemed to have ended well. The bodies everywhere were evidence of that. I can see that I am quite tired from breathing and wiping sweat.

There was one interesting fact here. That is, being piloted as a doll in the Spider's Forest was held by other species, not just humans.

The body of Goblin, whose head was shattered by the Southern Archer's attack on the ground, was evidence of this. Unlike humans, when they killed Goblins, the children had no hesitation.

‘It's already night. ’

I looked up at the sky with the sound of children's breathing engraved in my ears. It's turned black. I decided to spend the night around here because I thought it was too much to move around.

However, I had to move because I couldn't sleep around the human body. I recovered the backpacks I had taken off for the fight, moved for about 10 minutes, and was able to find a place to sleep easily.

The children lay down and fell asleep. It was the same for me, but I closed my eyes after checking that someone was standing guard in time. It was just the same night as what happened the other day, although this is a forest of spiders.

“Brother · · ·. Get up."

I could feel someone shaking my body with a loud voice somewhere. It was Song Gyeong-yeon who barely opened his eyes in his deep sleep.

Thanks to the pale moonlight, it wasn't difficult to find out who it was. Her face, with moonlight on her back, looks exceptionally white. A neat hair that comes down to your shoulders. Her pupils were shivering dimly, which would have felt calm if it had originally been.

· · · Is there something?

It didn't seem like it was my turn to stand guard. It's my turn to wake up early at dawn. At some point, such consideration was taken for granted.

Quickly, I lifted up my body with the slightest remaining submergence. Somehow my body is heavy. I think it's because it's too much to fight. No matter how strong the country was, it seemed to be forced to winter.

I asked Song Gyeong, who was sober.

“Did something happen? ”

“· · · That's what it is. ”

She can't speak easily. Then I found everyone else awake besides me. However, all the other children, except Song Gyeong-yeon, were looking across the forest.

It's like there's something in there. Moreover, it is not usually an atmosphere of tension to pull out weapons and get ready for combat. I could hear it swallowing my saliva.

I asked Song Ga-yeon again.

“What's going on? Are you an enemy?”

“· · · I don't know. ”

“What is that supposed to mean? ”

“It's hard to judge what to say. Please wait a little longer. They'll be here any minute. ”

What does that mean? Somewhere, I listened with frowning glabells to a clumsy answer. Only the sound of the wind in the Silent Forest touches my ears. The forest was quiet.

I continued to wait in the heavy silence where there was no sound of bugs moving because of the huge spiders living in the forest. And after about five minutes, I could see what Song Gyeong-yeon said.

· · · Help me.

“ · · · · · ·. This is not a problem. ”

A young woman's voice was being heard from the forest. As if singing, I could feel my mind flashing in that clear sound.
