Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

“What is the current situation? ”

“I can't say it's good with empty words. I don't think I know where Lorelai is. I feel like I'm wandering a little bit, but I'm getting closer and closer. ”

Renald's answer gave Langshao a long sigh. He, who had always had a slack face, was also in a long shadow on his face to see if the situation was not very good.

After hearing the news from a female player called Rebecca, Langshao soon found another group and moved diligently.

However, work was not easy unless there was a means to signal and receive each other in the maze. In fact, finding Leonard's group like this was also a good thing to say.

However, rather than finding this out and contacting it, Renard contacted me first. A member of Yoohyun's party belonging to the Renald group found out about Langshao's approach.

How surprised I was when a little girl in blue appeared before my eyes.

I wanted to be a monster at first, but I didn't attack because I didn't have any enemies.

Fortunately, the choice was right. If you attacked a prostitute, you'd be in trouble.

‘I thought you said it was a spirit. ’

Langshao looks back at the spirit sitting on the girl's shoulder with a cold impression of black hair coming down to her shoulders.

The spirit looks like the owner. Wouldn't it look like that when a girl gets hard, a bird like that I want to see.

Of course I know who the girl who handles spirits is. We spent a few nights together on our way back to the dungeon, so we talked a few times. Unfortunately, we couldn't have a long conversation.

She wasn't much of a talker. I tried to start with a light topic, but it never lasted long.

Thanks to you, I only got a name until I got to town.

Anyway.

“You don't mind calling your name comfortably, do you? ”

Lang Xiao, who had been staring at Song Gyeong for a while, approached carefully. The power she has in this situation is very helpful. In fact, it seems to me that Renald is also informing her story now.

Song Zin reacted as if he had a cold face, according to Langxiao.

“Yes, you can call it lightly. Mr. Langshao is also the brother of sister Langshashen. ”

Langshao felt his cheeks slowly loosening.

“Okay. Can you explain the situation to me? ”

Renald says it's not enough. It was convenient to hear directly from the person who investigated the situation.

Lenald and I took the map out of my arms and handed it over to Song Gyeong.

Shinohara Ryoko, the song song that the woman would have made was carefully received and unfolded. Then everyone's gaze is focused. When he had already heard the story once, Lenard also listened.

Song Zin coughed lightly and moved his fingers.

The first place her finger pointed was in the gorge where the Goblins were camping.

“This is what adventurers do now. ”

Her fingers move like a line. No one knew that the line her fingers were drawing was the adventurous line. Her fingers were getting closer to Lorelai.

That means that almost all adventurers are approaching Lorelai.

“..... Fortunately, the enemies don't seem to know the exact location of Lorelai. I don't think the person who's being held there is memorizing the exact path. I'm wandering through the streets with enough time to know whether it's intentional or not. ”

The maze is spacious.

It's hard to remember everything by wandering around a few times and going too far on an unexplored path.

Especially since I wouldn't have tried to memorize the path, I don't think I knew exactly how to get back to Lorelai. Probably squeeze your memory to the max and stutter.

At least that was making time.

“.. but the urgency remains unchanged. ”

I heard it once, but in unchanging reality, Lenald made a heavy face. In his murmur, the others had the same face as Lenard.

Song Gyeonggi, who explained the adventurers' movements through the map, sighs and says.

“Yes, as Leonard said, we don't have time. ”

In her cold words, brutally penetrating reality, Langshao slowly lifts his head.

“... what do you think the estimated arrival time will be? ”

The captured player is not guiding the way properly, but the direction is correct.

It's not that hard to find Lorelai even if you only know the direction.

“Two days late. Sooner or later, we'll be there today. In the first place, the distance between the canyon and Lorelai was not very far. It's instantaneous to find out the roughest direction. ”

“That means we don't have time to get in touch with other groups. ”

“That's how it goes. ”

Spending a few more days could bring together a whole group of players.

But then it's too late. At that time, adventurers already roam the dungeon.

“That doesn't mean we're going alone, does it? ”

Langshao said, as opposed to the atmosphere flowing around him. With arms crossed, it never seemed like a specification. His supersenses were feeling anxious right now.

The choice now was dangerous.

And anyone can see that it is dangerous, even if it is not necessarily capable.

“But that doesn't stop Lorelai from being attacked. ”

“Maybe we'll all die. ”

“Even if the gateway in Lorelai is destroyed, the result will be the same. Contact with Roberia is meaningless without a gateway. ”

“...... Shit. ”

At the words of Song Ga-yeon, Lang Xiao uttered a curse like a clogged horse door.

I've heard so much about the gateway.

Isn't this the first story we've been able to break players' logic about why we have to protect residents?

Not all players were good enough to risk their lives for the inhabitants who had nothing to do with them. Like everyone else, he values his life the most.

Because risking your life in this fight is worth it.

At its center is a gateway.

Hundreds of players become Maze Mias when gateways are destroyed by adventurers. How many hundreds of people can survive in the maze. Fighting monsters is not a problem, but food is a problem.

That doesn't mean we can't go down from hundreds of people to Roberia, who say they're on the seventh floor.

I wondered how much I could survive if it became a reality that I had to go down to Roberia myself. The deeper the hierarchy, the stronger the monster becomes.

I can't imagine how much the monsters in the next tier can handle. Beyond Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier 6, and Tier 7 were terror itself. No matter how powerful the troops coming up from Roberia, it doesn't make sense to keep hundreds of people safe from the monsters' raids every night.

“Perhaps the future that Sister Langshashen saw is not wrong and will become a reality. ”

Suddenly the song said in a bitter voice.

Langshao frowned on his forehead. I stare at Lenard cleanly. Did he notice what it means to speak now? Fortunately, he doesn't seem interested in knowing what else he's thinking.

Little relieved by the fact, Langshao says.

“... ha. But it would be better than doing nothing and being attacked. ”

Even if attacked by adventurers, it's better to stay still and attack them. In that regard, Langshao thinks. He won't be as powerless as his sister saw him.

Renard wakes up to Langshao's murmur and asks.

“So it was decided? ”

“That's all there is to it. Then you'll have to.”

*

I think it's been a long time. Hundreds of Goblins move at once, so the sound echoes the maze just by walking. I've been working on this for hours.

But the result was this, and the guild leader narrowed his eyes when he saw the dead end that appeared before his eyes. The annoyance and livelihood were complicated by the guild leader's pupils.

This is insane.

“Let me ask you a question, man. Is this the right way? ”

“W-we did wrong! ”

When asked by the Guild Leader, the woman immediately kneels down and bows her head. The guild leader laughed at her actions. At this point, the Guild Leader was forced to worry too.

Kill or not.

I unwittingly feel the power in my fingertips. It was not difficult to smash a woman's head like a watermelon, even by wielding her fist with magical power.

I only thought about it lightly, but the woman was terrified as to whether life had flowed.

“W-we 're almost there! We're really almost there...! ”

The guild leader, who glanced at the woman who was eagerly begging on her legs, filled her tongue with small words.

I came all the way here, but it was too close to getting out in the middle.

I have doubted whether I was deceived by following a woman's back, but seeing this makes me think differently.

This woman really doesn't know.

But even though it's still ridiculous that I said I knew it boldly.

The guild leader still sticks to the bridge and kicks out the woman he's begging for. Then, he rolled the floor with a scream, but the woman looked up at the guild field with a more earnest face than anger.

“I get it, get up. But if you go wrong one more time, you'll rip four bitches out of that spot. If there is still a dead end like this next time....”

“Yes!"

She nodded her head vigorously and stood up.

Then he immediately turns around and finds his way.

To be honest, it wasn't very believable.

You have to live, you have to live, you have to keep murmuring like this, and it was horrible to have two eyes on the bloody feet.

Nevertheless, believing in such a crazy woman was because finding the dungeon required so much time and nuisance.

Hundreds of Goblins again began to move along the woman's back.

This time, hoping for the right path.
