Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

“It's · · ·. Gil Yumi's palms are really mapped. Is that because it's the volleyball you used to play? ”

After three days of safe passage to the sixth floor, Lute touched a handprint on the cheek, and Cook smiled. After a few days, the sinking seems to be getting worse.

Lee Seo-yeon healed, but that's how spicy Gil Yumi's hands were. However, if you see Lute smiling like that, it seems insane.

Eventually, Lute's typical subtle smile touched Gil Yumi's temper.

“Shut up · · ·. Next time, I'm really going to hit you with all my heart. Next time, 300 kilometers an hour. ”

“· · · You didn't mean that? ”

“Sure! Do you really want to do it this time!? ”

“Oh, no. ”

Lute only had a stubborn face and avoided gaze. Still, it must have hurt to see that. I can see the southern archipelago walking beside me advising Lute to be careful.

I think I've been beaten once before. I've never seen it, but maybe something happened. Somehow, Gil Yumi was fascinated by the appearance of the two men.

“Haha, are they having fun? Looks like fun. Lute, I've known him since he did that. I can't believe you're playing with my bad reagents. ”

Percy, who was walking alongside him, smiles and says,

Eventually, the same thing happened now because of the battle with Elf adventurers in the passage of the hierarchy. Gil Yumi thought Lute was really dead at the time.

However, after the fight, Lute got up with a healthy face and explained the situation. Gil Yumi changed his face. Absolutely, but no one dried it. Langshashen also watched closely to see if he didn't like his arrows being written like that.

Anyway, the commotion at the time was brief.

There have been several battles since safely crossing the 6th floor, but there has been no hard fight. I only crossed the 1st floor from the 7th floor, but the level of monsters has decreased noticeably.

But I couldn't be more reassured. I found something right now.

“Yoohyun. Looks like a trail of adventurers. ”

“Oh, I know. ”

Hearing Langshashen's report, Yoohyun nods. Traces of fighting remained around. Whether it's a recent fight or not, the corpses of monsters remain intact.

I can see traces of decommissioning for the Stone Collection, so I can only imagine it was done by adventurers. And the elves we met before. Somehow, there seem to be a lot of adventurers around here.

Is this because Defera is occupied?

This may be a counterindication that adventurers are expanding their radius of activity to Node Defera. Not very good news. It's unlikely that Roberia will be found, but it's nothing.

‘You better be careful. ’

It is no coincidence that the Elves were found in the Hierarchy of Roberia.

I wanted to keep moving smoothly, but there was nothing like it. Yoohyun, who had been walking around the maze at leisure for a while, frowned at the vibrations he felt in front of him and sent a stop signal.

Urrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It's an unusual sound. Yoohyun said to Song Ga-yeon as she was getting closer and closer.

“Can you see what's coming up ahead? ”

“Yes.”

It sounded big enough for the maze to ring, but there was still a distance. But it's getting closer this way. I quickly stepped into action to see if I knew it was a contentious matter for Song Ga-young's hour.

I wonder if it's been a minute. Song opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“· · · I checked, it looked like an ant. However, to a size of about 1m · · ·. Maybe it's Blood Ant. Probably the number is at least 50 · · ·. I think they're coming this way. ”

“Blood Ant. ”

She's seen Blood Ant before. I've been questioning that for a while.

Song Gyeong-yeon knows so much about Blood Ant because he usually reads a lot of books. However, it was she who read the old books when she left and asked why Percy was carrying these things.

What she reads is now unknown to Yoohyun, but her report was reliable anyway. Yoohyun glances at Lute and Percy as he nods.

“Prepare me for magic. I'll leave it to you two to decide what magic to use. ”

Then Percy looked closely and said,

“Blood Ant is weak in fire attribute magic. A lot of numbers, · · ·. How about a warm one? Huh?”

“· · · Do whatever you want. ”

“Okay. You gave me permission? ”

As Yoohyun's permission fell, Percy smiled with a single face and began to say something to Lute. It looks like you're going to use something really big.

I used only low-grade magic for the past hour, so it was obvious that my body was tenacious. Well, it was also a bad judgment because it was approached by a small monster that was leading a large group.

Lute began to assist, whether or not he heard a rough explanation from Percy. Persian magic is not difficult to cast on its own, but it was meant to save magic.

How long has it been? It was when Percy made a complete breakthrough with his face telling him to come.

“Coming.”

Yoohyun starts to look scared before sending a signal.

Ants with red hair were rushing under the shallow light that the spirits were glaring at. Shaking red stutter, so many numbers fill the passageway.

“Argh · · ·. It's scary because ants are big somehow. ”

The red ones, whose whole bodies fit the name, were not making a very good impression. Lee Seo-yeon flinched with a blurred expression next to him. It seems disgusting.

The pack of ants rushed without hesitation, even though they found the enemy. Like an earthquake in a maze, their footsteps are chaotic.

“Burn it all. · · ·! ”

Percy flashes his eyes and expresses his magic. Lute assists in magical power, and the massive magic circle begins to glow red. It is not the color of magic. It just seemed that way because the flames were flowing out. The sorcerer was burning as if he had become a firewood himself.

What kind of magic did he use?

Qaaaaaaaah!

There was a tremendous amount of turbulence flowing through the enchantment. It crosses the passage of the maze like a flood of fire and moves forward. Yoohyun felt her face warming up.

The flame of high temperature fills the passageway, and the heat feels vivid. The group that was looking at him started to step back, whether he was a little scared or not. I feel like I'm going to wear a burn in front of me.

The turbulence of the flame, which was pouring out like a flood, swallowed up the Blood Ants. Like a monster with the shape of an ant, they bravely burst into flames to see if there was no fear of death.

The magicians, who seemed to be throwing up the flames constantly, hid themselves. I have only to say that the catastrophe created by Percy's magic is enormous. The floor is melting in high heat.

As the flame dances, it only sees the corpse of an ant burning black. Yoohyun moved forward as the flames roughly sagged. To see if he was alive. But I don't think he's alive.

Hit it. Hit it.

I hear insect-specific chitin burning. Plus, it smells weird. There were countless corpses of Blood Ants burning all over the flames.

· · · He said there were a few songbirds.

I thought you said it was roughly 50.

But all the Blood Ants who were running by magic now seem to have been exterminated. Only Yoohyun's group, who was nervous for no reason, looked down. It was good not to have a fight, but it was also futile.

“Huhu. How's it going? Did you like it? How nice that you ended it without fighting. ”

I checked the results and smiled at Percy, who seemed to feel good.

Of course, I think it's good what she said.

But I wonder if Yoohyun asked Percy.

“How much magic did you use? ”

“· · · Hmm? Is that magic? · · ·. Lute helped me a lot. ”

“So to what extent? ”

“That, so... Now, wait a minute! I told you to do whatever you want!? ”

“I told you to do whatever you want, but you have to keep the line. This is useless. ”

There were certainly a lot of numbers. But Blood Ant wasn't such a powerful monster. It must have been scary to form a group, but if you cut the numbers down to a certain level, it wasn't difficult to hunt. Maybe even if I killed half of them, it wouldn't be hard to overcome them.

I didn't mean to get upset, but Percy did something unexpected.

“ · · · · · ·. Huh? ”

He hid the song behind his back with a shield. He smiles a little awkwardly. Behind her back, Percy looks pathetic. Yoohyun smiles and strokes Percy's head.

“Umm · · ·. ”

“Good job, but next time, do it right. ”

“· · · What. You're not mad at me? ”

“You want me to piss you off, then? ”

Percy shakes his head.

Thanks to Percy's magic, the movement continued without major health losses.

How far past the corpses of Blood Ant, who melted at high temperature.

Yoohyun stopped walking not far from where there had just been a unilateral massacre that could not be called a fight before. The crowd also stops walking. There's something up ahead.

The first thing I saw was the corpses of Blood Ants, but no matter how powerful Percy's magic was, it couldn't have reached here. It was at least 20 minutes' walk.

Then it means the others killed him.

‘You're an adventurer, too. ’

If you look at the black waves left in the hard chitinous shell, you can naturally infer that the adventurers killed them. The corpses of monsters like this have come and seen many, so you can just move on.

It was then.

“Yoohyun. Would you look over there? ”

Lute pointed his finger at something.

As I shifted my gaze toward it, I saw many bodies of adventurers. It's not unusual for adventurers to die fighting monsters. But there was something strange about it.

Yoohyun's eyes turn thin as she looks at the corpse.

“Did you notice? ”

“· · · It's not a dead body from a monster. ”

The bodies of the adventurers found were Orcs. The number is about six. Blood Ant's corpse is crawling around, so if you dig a little further, it might increase.

But the question is not how many people died.

How they died.

Several arrows embedded in the body of an oak that looks sturdy.

· · · In a way, you can naturally think of it as dead in the hands of humans.

But the problem was the arrows used. Lute also tells me whether he noticed it.

“Dragon Arrow. This is an arrow used mainly by the Demibeasts. ”

Dragon Arrow.

Longer and thicker than the usual arrows, it was a favourite arrow used by the Demibeasts.
