Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

Returning First Players

Carnaden

Noverba

Istinan

This is what Lute wrote on the paper.

The original choice was for Lorelai to increase to three. Lorelai disappeared instead.

It will soon be clear that this is the option that is currently open.

“We have to pick one of these three, too. ”

“Well, I guess so. I've investigated all the attributes of the three dungeons. Would you like to hear about them? ”

He's a good guy, too. Yoohyun nodded.

“First, Carnaden is the largest of the three dungeons. But you could say population number two. Instead of being big, there are a lot of monsters. In particular, there is a monster species called ‘Kuwaro’. They say that they should be treated as xenophobic. ”

“Kuwaro?”

It was the first monster I heard of as Yoohyun. I've heard a lot about monsters like Ravirac, but I don't know anything about monsters like Kuwaro.

With Yoohyun's dubious face, Lute blurs his expression.

“Actually... I don't know. Maybe it's a special species that's only in Carnaden. ”

Monsters evolve. In particular, the characteristics of the next generation will change depending on the environment.

In a word, it's a variant. The Earth would take a long time to go through that process, but this was the world, and it was a special place called the maze.

It is basically a magical place. The amount of magic wandering around in the maze is enormous. Sometimes monsters evolved rapidly because of their power.

Moreover, each dungeon may have a different name, so it was not unusual that Lute did not know.

Lute coughed.

“Anyway, it's a species that looks similar to the Lizards. But they didn't seem to have as much intelligence as the Lizards. It's about the same level as Ravirac. ”

“Then they might have something like a shaman. ”

“Hmm. Well, maybe so. ”

I didn't know anything about the Kuwaros, so Lute gave it to me in an irregular manner.

“Next up is Noverba. What should I say here...”

Lute blurred his end.

“... When I heard the story of the soldier who went here, he said it was like a paradise on the ground. ”

“Ground paradise? What, that. ”

Yoohyun unwittingly laughed. There's no way there's a place like paradise on the ground inside the maze.

Yoohyun's reaction led Lute to a bitter laugh.

“I had a similar reaction to Yoohyun at first. So I heard that there are lots of sweet fruit trees all over Aria. So it was very good to be active... At least here he said he would never fall because of a lack of food. ”

“... indeed. That's what it means.”

When you explore Aria, you end up enjoying something like long-lived jerky. It's not a meal for gastronomy, it's a meal for survival. However, if there are fruits that people can eat, as Lute said, it is a very good thing for the Expeditionary Force.

“Oh, and Noverba's booze is very famous. They say fruits made from berries that are only harvested in Noverba are so popular among adjuvants. ”

“Hmm. Liquor. That wouldn't be so bad. ”

I don't really like booze, but I don't hate it. So Yoohyun was a little interested in Lute's story. I wanted to drink it once when I had the chance.

“Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu. because it's a specialty of Noverba. ”

“Well, that's good, too. So what's in this dungeon? Not booze or fruit. ”

Lute touches his chin as he ponders for a moment and says.

“They say there's a famous rumor about Griffon. ”

“... Griffon? ”

Yoohyun opened his eyes slightly to Lute's words.

Griffon was a monster with only the trunk of a lion with the head, wings and feet of an eagle. It was characterized by the fact that all of them had strong powers, one after the other, although the number of subjects was quite small.

Unlike the spatially constrained maze, he is the Lord of Heaven within the heavenly Aerial.

I think it's best to avoid fighting him.

Once you start flying, you can't catch it. So you have to beat the wings in advance, but that's not easy. He was intelligent and quick to notice.

“Actually, it might not be Griffon. Some people say it's a hippogriphone, not a griffon. ”

“Hippogriphon... It might be confusing from afar. ”

Hippogriphon looks similar to Griffon, but the body was a monster, not a lion.

Weaker than Griffon. Unlike Griffon, who can fly the sky all day long, Hippogriphon cannot. So, they were mainly living on the ground.

He also likes to run on the ground like those with trunks of horses. However, going to the eagle's wings was the same as going to Griffon, so it could be confusing to Griffon if you saw him flying in the sky.

“This is roughly all I've investigated about Noverba. Let's move on."

Now all that was left was Istinan.

Yoohyun also knew about Istinan to some extent.

Because there was a huge monster there. In fact, when this dungeon was on the list, I wondered why it was open to players. A dangerous place to be open to players.

Recalling his memory before regression, Yoohyun speaks.

“Was there a Red-eyed Magical Dragon in Istinan? ”

“Yes? The Red-eyed Demon Dragon? ”

Lute makes a dubious face, as if he heard a strange story.

Yoohyun unwittingly closes his mouth because he wants to say something wrong.

For a moment, Lute, who was thinking about the bear, laughed.

Yoohyun is telling something interesting, but I haven't heard it from an acquaintance.

“Huhu. I didn't hear that story. Istinan said it was a dungeon that had nothing special to do with it. A Red-eyed Magical Dragon... It's a pretty big name if you listen to Yoohyun, but I wouldn't know if it was there. ”

“.. is it not there? ”

“I heard there are no name monsters because they are relatively well stabilized dungeons. So now it's popular with stage two players. because it's relatively the least difficult. ”

He wanted his memory to be wrong, but Yoohyun shook his head in the air.

I asked you to catch the Red-eyed Mage. How much Istinan's Nymph cried and cried.

It's a dragon, but it wasn't actually a dragon.

What was there was a drake that could be called the Dragon's Fiery Species.

The Red-eyed Demon Dragon was more intelligent than the other Drakes, and only older.

He had a nasty but powerful power. I know how to deal with humans.

So every time I raided the village, I wanted to make demands on the right lines.

It's a glittering jewel, but you threaten to give me something that looks valuable.

He was an unusual person who coveted the monster subject.

The harassment of an intelligent monster is quite difficult from the point of view of a weak dungeon.

It must not be the wrong memory to be the famous name monster among the players.

And I've talked to Istinan's fairy a few times.

Then the answer was one.

‘You haven't settled in Istinan yet. ’

At this time, the Red-eyed Magical Dragon did not appear in Istinan.

If so, when will he reveal himself?

I heard about him several times before Yoohyun blew his name.

The good clans were defeated, but failed every time.

Every time, Istinan had to do a lot of damage to Maryong. He was a genius.

When a dangerous herd appears, it never reveals itself. When the expedition, which was already full of power and not a single growing player, revealed himself, he hid himself.

However, when he decided he could win, he immediately revealed himself and destroyed the crowd.

Thanks to you, I had a lot of difficulty hunting him.

“Istinan is certainly the lowest difficulty for Aria, but in my case, I don't recommend Istinan. ”

“Why not?”

“The hierarchy of the maze is too high. because it's on the sixth floor. It may not be a problem for you or me to explore the maze, but considering the level of your group, it's dangerous. ”

“I'm sure it might. ”

The labyrinth where the group worked was Lorelai's third floor.

I didn't think my group could fight properly in a three-storey elevated place. It's too much at the moment.

As long as the ultimate goal is to get to the deepest heart.

We need to move on gradually rather than aggressively.

“Then what's left is Carnaden and Noverba. ”

Yoohyun pondered over the list of dungeons on the table.

“Where are the most players today? ”

“Earlier, I was the most popular Istinan. Then Noverba, last but not least, Carnaden. It seems that Aria in Carnaden is a bit more level. ”

“Yes. Then there won't be many players in Carnaden. ”

“Yes. They say there are many name monsters, especially because stabilization is not done properly. ”

“I need to think more about it. I'm going to rest for a while until Webble finishes repairing all the equipment anyway. ”

“Got it.”

Speaking of Webble, Yoohyun suddenly had one person in mind.

Diana, the Demibeast Alchemist.

I had something to ask her.
