Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

The Heyra Adventurer Guild is always noisy. Many adventurers stopped by and all kinds of stories had to come and go, but there was only one topic that floated recently.

I found a place on the third floor where I thought there would be a human dungeon.

It was a pretty loud story. If not, the attack on the last dungeon failed. Many Goblins are dead, clans are broken, and humans are gone without a trace.

Since then, there have been a sudden increase in Goblins who say they are human.

Did you hear that story?

Kirk. Human Dungeon?

Yes. The Dwarves are gathering adventurers to target the dungeon.

But what about Iron Horn?

It wasn't the Dwarves who commissioned you to collect the horns of Iron Horn.

Suddenly, what are you talking about? Attack the Dungeon?

The Goblin Adventurer, who has a scar under his right eye, pulls his tail.

So this is money. As long as you start working as an adventurer, you shouldn't miss out on the same opportunities. The Dungeon Attack and Iron Horn Horn Horn will be collected at the same time.

Kirk, at the same time?

A Goblin adventurer who looks disgusted opens his eyes in circles.

Yeah, at the same time. It's the same thing as doing two quests. It's a great opportunity to earn a lot of money and build a career. I don't know what it is, but the Dwarves are pretty pissed off.

.. Kirik. Wouldn't it be dangerous? You said you failed to attack the dungeon the other day? Besides, there are monsters on the third floor of the maze these days...

What an idiot! You think it's the same as last time? And the devil in the maze won't be a problem. There are a few moving numbers!

Still...

The Goblin Adventurer, who has a scary figure, thought about why he was so scared. In this case, it would also be good for an experienced adventurer to help.

The experienced Goblin Adventurer, who looks familiar with the wounds in his right eye, began to persuade the foolish Goblin hard.

How long I've waited.

It's been about four days since the Iron Horn started waiting for adventurers in the dead canyon. There have been small changes in the canyon over the past four days.

Monsters roamed the canyon to see if they were chasing the smell of Iron Horns' blood.

More precisely, there are monsters similar to the cockroaches called Uraken. All I could see was the urakens.

Only monsters flying in the canyon could get to where the Iron Horn is. I don't know what I did to both roads in the canyon, but the roads were blocked because of the collapse.

The Uracenes fly out of nowhere with wide wings and dig down the canyon to dig up the corpse of the Iron Horn. There were a few at first, and now there are hundreds of them.

I know they serve as labyrinth cleaners in this area, but the unpleasant sights remain unchanged. It may be the queen of the Uracenes who took out the big fat ass and revealed herself.

I see an individual with a body a few times larger than the other Uracenes. Seeing him, it was not difficult to guess that he was the leader of the Uracenes.

“...... hey. Ryoko, how long are we going to wait? Are you sure it's coming? ”

Suzuka, also known as Shinohara Ryoko's right arm, looks at Uraken, who roars his chin and eats rotten meat. Her expression seemed unbearable.

There is no contempt or fear for looking at the Uraken, which fills the canyon. Because of growing up in the countryside, the fear of insect-looking people was strangely less than that of other women.

When Suzuka said she had no tension, she yawned and said to her with a gentle smile.

“He'll come. Maybe, he'll come. So we're here, right? ”

“Hmm. But...”

Currently, Ryoko's clans remain in the canyon, confirming the change. In case adventurers showed up, it was to inform Lorelai immediately.

Yoohyun did me a favor. After understanding the situation roughly, Ryoko accepted his offer.

I wanted to make sure Ryoko was genuine, because the expeditionary soldier named Misha had nailed the players that there would be an adventurer attack.

Unlike the flat Suzuka, Ryoko looked at the canyon with anxious young eyes.

Fighting adventurers head-on was something I wanted to avoid.

‘... this is how it ends. ’

Negative facts always come true.

It was when she was biting her lips unconsciously.

“Ryoko!"

A member of her clan comes running around calling out loud. I could hardly guess that making an urgent expression did not bring me much good news.

Ryoko shook his fist and loosened it. Let's relax. I needed to care about the appearance as long as I was a representative of the group. Ryoko greets the clan member with a gentle face.

“What's going on? ”

“Th-that's it! ”

“Take a big breath and calm down. ”

At Ryoko's words, the woman nodded and put her hands on her chest and exhaled a long breath. When I repeated it a few times, I felt much better about whether it had calmed down.

“... they showed up. ”

“Yeah?”

After receiving the information with a dry face without any surprises, Ryoko looks at the gorge. The fact that they showed up means they'll be here soon, too.

Ryoko's clan members kept their mouths open.

“There's a lot of numbers. ”

“How long. ”

“.. I don't know about that. But no matter how many digits you can't count, it's over three digits. ”

To some extent, it was predictable. Considering the number of dead Iron Horns in the canyon, I was already expecting a significant number.

The problem is that the numbers just came to get the horns, or they came to attack this side. I don't know.

It was about 30 minutes after the Clan member brought the information that started the commotion in the canyon.

GRRRRRRRR!

The first reactions were the Uracenes in the canyon, not Ryoko who was watching the canyon. Those who were busy biting the corpse of the Iron Horn suddenly hit their heads and flew up.

Then the other side turned noisy.

They were adventurers who arrived in the canyon one day.

Kirk! What the hell are these guys!

Uraken, it's Uraken! Everybody get ready for battle!

Battle has begun between adventurers and urakens. The members of Ryoko's clan, who were watching the battle as they crawled endlessly up the canyon, looked terrified.

“... those aren't jokes. ”

“Ouch... filthy. ”

Adventurers were initially pushed to the brink of a sudden raid on the Urakens, but they were massacred by the Urakens as they began to get ready.

At first glance, the Uracenes were not very strong monsters. So I broke my breath once, and all the uranacenes that were filling the earth were turning into corpses.

Among them, the most oppressive were the dwarves who wielded weapons the size of their bodies in front of them. It was definitely the Dwarves that stood out among the Goblin adventurers.

Every time a weapon wields a battlefield, several urakens are shattered. The numbers clearly showed an overwhelming presence among many Goblins, even though they were a minority.

Adventurers were not pushed at all by hundreds of urakens.

There were a lot of urakens, but there were as many adventurers as that.

Seeing the battle going on, Ryoko gathers the fastest men on the bridge among the clans.

“Go tell them that adventurers have appeared. ”

“... and Ryoko? ”

“I have to observe the movements of adventurers here. ”

“Okay. If you think it's going to be a dangerous situation, you're going to run right away? ”

With tears in her eyes, Ryoko strokes her head and nods. Ryoko had no intention of sacrificing his life for this.

Looking at the fast-moving clans, Ryoko told the other clans.

“Me and Suzuka will be watching here, so keep an eye on where the rest of the team of adventurers are coming from. ”

“Got it."

Following Ryoko's words, the two parties moved to where they originally planned. Ryoko's clan has not been watching the canyon for the past four days. Rather busy than ever.

In the last four days, Ryoko's clan has investigated all the roads around the canyon. I split the numbers to create five parties, and then I made a map of the surrounding terrain.

It details the path from the canyon to Lorelai and the path used by adventurers to enter the canyon. Thinking about the process, four days was not enough, but I could do it somehow.

Ryoko looks down the canyon with his arms crossed.

Adventurers were still fighting hard against the Uracenes as if they didn't notice humans sneaking up on them. Goblins screaming at the castle and Dwarves advancing in superiority.

Ryoko couldn't easily take his eyes off the dwarves.

‘Strong.’

Yoohyun told me beforehand, but Ryoko looked so strong that he had a cold face.

*

As news from Ryoko's clans touches Lorelai, the players and the temple begin to move quickly. At least all I could say was that everyone was prepared.

As a result of Misha's diligent moves and persuasion, it was already a fact to fight adventurers. Fortunately, there was no mention of Langshashen's abilities in the process. Misha kept her promise.

Less than half a day after receiving the news, dozens of parties moved towards the maze.
