Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

One of the seven great labyrinths [Ice and Snow Cave], it was like, a mirror house.

It looks like a great labyrinth. The aisle inside is quite large, so much so that even with ten people lined up on the side, there seems to still be room.

But all the walls are made of ice as transparent as crystals, and the shadows that reflect there make me illusion that there are more people than there actually are. As a result, contrary to its breadth, it was a strange internal structure that felt so narrowly.

And one more thing, if you ask me wonders. There is always snow in this cave. It's a cave, so naturally, it's not coming down from the sky, but it's snowblowing into a rampage on the wind blowing through the cave, and it's not coming from the entrance, it's coming from the back of the cave.

Plus, it doesn't look like this snow, it's just snow.

"Oh, oh, I did it again"

"Ryutaro, don't get out of the realm of kingdom"

A piece of snow stuck perfectly on Ryutaro's cheek, swelling that part up red. Yes, this snow, apparently made of extremely low temperatures, like dry ice, causes immediate frostbite when touched.

It comes down on the wind blowing from the front, so the bell is barricaded and scattered forward, but there was a situation where members who were distracted by their appearance on the surrounding ice walls and inadvertently came out of the defensive range would be treated with healing magic after several frostbites.

"Frostbiting snow in a cave made of ice... it's a targeted name for an ice cave. It would be frightening not to have this artifact."

"You can't even drink water."

By the side of Shizukuishi whining as she removes the pebble of the cold proof artifact from her pocket, while agreeing, the fragrance weave magically flies water out of the range of effects. Then, the fist-sized water polo released froze instantly making a crisp noise in the air before landing on the wall and fell as ice on the ground as it was. The water I put in the water bottle would normally become ice the moment I caved in, and I wouldn't be able to help.

"Sure. The water itself can be secured by scraping and dissolving the ice around it, but thanks to this space, the magic exercises of the flame system are inhibited... it hurts to consume advanced levels of magic for drinking water all at once."

"... but it's none of our business"

When Tio answered Kaori with a bitter laugh, Yue shook his chest pendant and ring as he clapped his shoulders.

Tio is right, this ice cave seems to significantly weaken the effects of flame-based magic, forcing even elementary magic to consume advanced levels. The method of melting snow and securing water, often in ice and snow zones, also involves a lot of difficulty.

But that doesn't apply to the Hajimes. Usually it's food and drinking water. "It's in the treasure trove, so it's not affected by the temperature. Because the cold protection artifact keeps a certain range of temperatures from the body at a comfortable temperature at all times, drinking water doesn't freeze the moment it's removed.

"Helpful and above all. Oh, I don't want to be..."

Hajime turned his gaze to one point forward as he hammered on the conversation between Jews.

Yue and the others follow their gaze. There was a figure of a man buried inside an ice wall with his eyes closed to sleep. It's as if I was tired and sat back on the wall and frozen as it was. I can't see one trauma, so I guess it means my consciousness flies because of the cold and stays...

"... Mr. Hajime. Something wrong with that corpse... isn't it strange?

"Hmm?... Speaking of which, you're buried in the wall pretty good"

"Yes, it's like the ice wall came out to where it was sitting, or it was taken in by the wall while it was sitting..."

Shea leaned her neck suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes. Indeed, the corpse is buried in the ice wall with Walrus on, as if it were a specimen. To be in this state, as Shea says, the ice wall will have to come out to where the man died, or vice versa, the man will have to go inside the wall.

"... Magic reactions don't look like ice walls or corpses. Well, just in case, kill me... no, I'll break it."

Hajime pulled the trigger toward the body when he pulled out the donner, as he could have left it alone because he didn't see any particular abnormality even after checking with the Demonic Eye Stone, but there was no reason not to do anything on the contrary.

Dopan! Dopan!

Along with a spark that has become stronger and brighter than ever before, the red flash of the two strips shoots through the ice wall lightly, as if nothing was there, through the forehead and heart part of the man in the back. It's rebuilt by sublime magic, and specs are raised to the bottom.

The glow frowned upon the act of whipping the dead, but he closed his mouth again, which seemed to open as if he had learned the barren ability to complain once and for all.

I'll see how it goes for a few seconds, but there's no response to the body or the ice wall. Hajime urged me first to make Donner a holster, wondering if he was still worried.

... Hajime and the others disappeared into the back of the cave for a while after

Bikie. Bikie.

"Oh, hey, Guggy..."

Such crackling sounds and groans of ice secretly wooden spirits.

Without realizing the anomalies that are happening behind her back, Hajime and the others quietly step through the labyrinth.

It was a few branched maze-like ice and snow caves, but thanks to the compass, the hajimes cleared the itinerary smoothly. On the road, there were also corpses and traps trapped in a good number of ice walls, but no demonic raids, and according to the compass, a third of the whole already seemed to have moved on.

"Hmm?... again"

Hajime found the body like it had been implanted in the ice wall again at the end of the aisle. Ears pointy to light black skin - a demon man. That hardens the three of them, and they're still closing their eyes to sleep.

"... now fifty. Mostly Demons."

"Right. Perhaps Fried's offense has increased the number of challengers?

Hajime answers Yue's words with a mix of speculations. The costume of the body was clearly divided between what we could see a long time ago and the demonic uniform we saw during the raid on Wangdu. I guess the person wearing the cold clothes in his personal clothes is the one who challenged him personally. About ten people I saw. And then they were all demons in military uniforms.

"Hmm. I would have stepped on it if I had tactical information to go... but it still didn't seem that easy. Thinking about other routes, how many challenged them."

"But if you named a country and challenged it, there's a chance that someone other than that Freed could have attacked it, right? If so, it may be only a matter of time before the army of demons is restructured..."

A fragrant weave that gives you a worrying look. I suppose you're thinking of the classmates and Lilianas you've left behind in King's Capital.

"It's okay, Kaori. At least I don't think we'll be attacked right away. The possibilities of insiders have been thoroughly crushed, and the Great Junction has been completely repaired. Soldiers guarding the Great Junction also have a high sense of crisis because they are once torn from the inside. Besides, I don't know that laser weapon is damaged. It shouldn't work cheaply with all the power."

"Shizukuishi...... yeah, you do"

To Shizukuishi's objective and accurate prediction, Kaori smiled somewhat, reassuringly. Returning to Earth with Hajime also means abandoning Liliana and the others. What a heartbreaker considering the existence and personal feelings of those behind it, although this is a more ongoing feud all along the world.

There, Mitsui entered the conversation.

"... rest assured, Kaori. Get the power to defeat the mad God, and all the humans and demons, I will save and show them. Stay here. I'll protect Liliana and the others. If you get all the divine magic, you'll be able to go home on your own. I won't abandon anyone."

"Kwong Fai..."

That's a very brave word. But behind that word, the glittering gaze was directed at Hajime, not at the fragrance weave, and it contained sounds as if it were to be applied. For this reason, Kaori could only seep anxiety into the words of Shining.

Previously, words that would have come out of the heart, the goodwill, whatever the intensity of your convenience interpretation and assumptions. But now I even feel like it contains some negative emotion. Jealousy, suspicion, irritability, irritability, etc. all kinds of emotions mixed and saturated, desperately suppressing it, feel such instability.

Hajime walking ahead sees the glow over her shoulder when she notices such a glowing gaze. I got a blameworthy look somewhere, but Hajime just clapped his shoulders through. It was a glow that caught my eyebrows in such a hazy attitude, but I didn't put it into words because I fully understood that the will of both sides would only follow parallel lines on my journey so far.

Hajime opened his mouth again as he turned forward, butting Shizuku, who wandered his gaze, at the two people who emitted a disturbing atmosphere (in fact, one Shizukumi).

"Well, we're not even friends we don't know. If you ask me, I'll give you a gift before I go home. Huberion, intercontinental ballistic missiles, high-speed orbital tanks, fighters who ignore inertia and gravity..."

"Hey, Nagumo? Wouldn't that be too much noise for a gift for a woman? The balance of power in this world will collapse."

"That's not what I found out. Well, for once, I'll put user restrictions on you. Looks like only royalty and royalty authorized him to use it. Do you even fortify the King's Capital? At a level that you can repel even when the noint level comes."

Shizuku, whose pompous and noisy remarks pop up and make his eyes black and white. By its side, Kwang Shi stares at Hajime with some dark eyes, and Kaori looks somewhere delightful.

As a hajime, I try not to have a "lonely way of life," but nevertheless I didn't intend to face the problems of this world so that I could be drawn to cheats. Except for Yue and Mu and Lemia, nothing in this world hangs on the balance of Hajime's heart.

Liliana's not one of those people I don't know, so I'm going to do something about her position to give her strength if she's asked for it before she returns, but nothing more. Not that I knew what would happen to this world after my return. I don't want to live with Jews in my hometown and hang them on my balance.

I don't feel backwardness or guilt about that. You can't risk your life for something that's not important. Well, if you know what it's like to lose your loved ones.

I'm going to do everything I can to make Yue and the others smile the best they can, but Hajime, who has the strength to reach out to a wide range if he doesn't draw a line somewhere, will have to throw himself into battle indefinitely. Therefore, no matter what they say is ruthless, they decide what to prioritize and what to trump.

Because we know that, Yue and the others who lean against Hajime will not ask Hajime for that or this. As Shea did with her body. As Kaori left childhood taming.

So the noisy and extreme gift for Liliana could also be described as a critical concern for the hazy not to be flushed.

"The Yaeko Oaks should decide what to do when they return from the Devil's Land. Do you want to stay in this world or go home with us? No, wait, wait."

"... Yep. I know."

"Yeah. It's only after I talk to Eri that I decide..."

"I'll go out with Hikaru."

Shizuku and the others nodded in the words of Hajime.

With a slightly subtle atmosphere flowing, Hajime and the others proceeded down the aisle to the large Shitsuji. Every passage is the same size and about ten meters high and wide.

Shea's rabbit reacted inadvertently as Hajime stopped to make sure he was oriented again with the compass at hand.

"Mr. Hajime... something will come"

"Is that a demon? You're finally out. Where'd it come from?

"... from all four directions"

"What? Even from behind?

Strengthen your face to nervousness when you hear that demons are coming from the path they came through, even as everyone takes a fighting stance on Shea's warning. That was because it meant I played hazy and missed the sign of the demon.

In the middle of a large Shitsuji, Hajime and the others back-to-back in all directions. A few seconds later, I started hearing things like groans from across the darkness of the aisle.

Vaaaaaaaaaaa

What a frightening voice. It doesn't even sound like the roar of a beast, but it makes you feel much creepier and more uncomfortable than that. The darkness of the passage also seems to have cast a shadow deeper. The sound of Gokuri and someone swallowing the saliva sounded somewhat clearer.

And it showed up.

It was people who showed themselves to be soaked out of the darkness. It wraps around a black based military uniform, with distinctive ears visible. However, only the skin had lost its original colour and turned blue and white, and it was even more like frosting all over the body.

"These guys... are you kidding me? The bodies on the ice wall?

One demon tribe after another overflows from the back of the aisle, freezing his whole body to respond to Hajime's whining.

"... there are other than demons. The guy I just saw."

"Live... you weren't there, were you? It's like a zombie."

Seeing the frozen demons and adventure-like people who emerged from the passage Yue came through, corroborates Hajime's guess. Kaori, for a moment, wondered if it was even preserved frozen, but immediately changed her mind when she saw them shimmering their eyes in red and black colors and continued to groan as they swayed their sloppy lowered arms. Kaori is right, the look looks like a frozen zombie.

Frost zombies overflowing from each of Shitsuji have already pushed that number into triple digits. Hajime hunched his nose with the glows surrounding all sides and revealing tension on his ass.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't change what you do.... ex-husband or whatever, but if you stand still, you kill them all."

Shortly after Hajime's words signaled, the Frost Zombies, who were slow moves, suddenly rushed out.

Vaaaaaaaa!!!!

How many unpleasant groans in the cave wooden spirits. Do you even want to eat this one? The way you open your big mouth and peel out your teeth and thrust it is still a biohazard. Thanks to ice makeup, I don't have to look at the rot, but ugly things are no different.

"Hey, don't come!" Holy shit! "

To the real bio, a slightly panicked bell emits a barrier burst. Before coming out of the aisle, the Frost Zombies, who bumped into the barrier deployed across the aisle, became blown dust at the next moment with a loud blast.

It becomes a fine fragment and the karan karan, the corny and the scattered flesh pieces roll. Strangely it seemed to freeze all the way into your body, like a phrase-milled terminator bathed in liquid nitrogen.

At about the same time, other members also unleash attacks. Hajime's Donner Shrak erupts fire, the winds of Yue and Tio rush through, the silver feathers of Kaori fly, the slaughter of Shizukumi and Kohinoo trajectories the universe, and the shock emanates from Ryutaro's fist.

Those attacks, with tremendous destructive power, collided frontally with the advancing Frost Zombies, crushing them as well as ahead, who took no hectic evasive action. A crystal of flesh that makes a grand noise and rolls with a caracorn.

"That's pretty brittle..."

He was a hazy guy who groaned suspiciously, but the next moment, his eyes narrowed softly.

"Liar, are you playing?

Kaori shrugged unexpectedly. As the saying goes, when the scattered fragments of flesh moved together on their own, they instantly regained their original appearance. Moreover, even frosted zombies, which should have been broken down by the silver feathers of the scented weave, are captured and regenerated in different dimensions by the surrounding ice walls.

"... Hajime, what about the Demon Stone?

"... you don't. I know it's haunting magic, but I don't see any demon stones."

"Yikes! Does that mean an ancient demon like the bad food from the time of Merzine!?

In a harrowing look hajime, Shea remembered her formerly formerly formidable enemy with a look she seemed sincerely disgusted. He is a demon-like opponent who plays indefinitely, perishing or perishing, with no nucleus demon stone, and who ultimately triumphed hard in the forceful way of burning every sea with the drive of Hajime.

"Can there be many of those? There must be some kind of trick."

Hajime took out the compass in one hand as he continued to fire. The object you are looking for is Demon Stone. I thought there might be a cover that I couldn't even find on my demon eye stone.

"Oh? It's not close. Or what?

As a result, the compass indicated the presence of demonic stones. But it's not in the bodies of the Frost Zombies, it's more than five hundred meters from their current position. Yue gazes at Hajime, who hung a single eyebrow as to what it means.

"... Hajime?

"... Apparently, the demon stones that are moving these guys are located away from here. Or maybe it's the inherent magic of that demon. Maybe even remotely."

"Hmm. Anyway, if we don't do something about that demon stone, do we have to keep fighting it out?"

"Then you have to go!

Everyone gives a resolute look at Hajime's speculation. Shitsuji has already been buried tightly with frosted zombies springing up later on, even while he was defeating the front lines. Perhaps he will also be innumerable within sight. We have to break through them by force.

"I'll take the lead. Everybody, don't be late!

Hajime popped up with the decree. In his hand is an orca removed from the treasure trove. While receiving a response from the members from behind, Hajime turned the giant rectangular missile rocket launcher to the corner of Shitsuji and unleashed its outrage.

Bashhhhhhhh!!

Countless warheads fly as they pull the orange tail. And

Dogooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

He blew up the frosted zombies on the path with a tremendous roar. In that gap, we rush through the aisle all at once.

Later Yue and the others chased Frost Zombies, who were blown to the edge of the aisle but started regenerating immediately. I can't use flame or water systems, but I'm not so nasty as to lose my hand that I can't use the attributes of the two systems. The Frost Zombies, torn apart by Orcan bombardment, were crushed again and turned into interwall debris before they could regenerate.

Continuously fired rocket bullets will crush the exhaustion of Frost Zombies and won't stop the Hajimes from walking. but the massive number of frost zombies that played after passing approached with groans coming from the rear was something that stirred fear inside. The look on the faces of the women, other than Yue and Tio, is generally convulsive.

"Uh-huh. Real biohazards don't work."

"Shh, bell, be careful! It's just not corrupt. It's a good picture! Look, if you look closely, there's no love..."

"There's no fine dust! How dare you! Wow! Don't come," Holy shit, blast, blast, blast, blast, blast, blast! "

"Bell! Don't be distracted! I can't keep my magic! Hey, I threw my arm at you! Besides, he's only moving his arm. Ugh!! It's crawling! Ugh!

"Hi-no! Kaori, please aim properly No!! You just got sippo touched by your flying arm!!

She said it would be fornicating if three women came by, but it would have been really noisy if four people had gathered during the zombie panic. It's as if you've challenged some famous horror house in Japan. Wah-cha. Running through the aisle in a doozy fashion.

"Uh-huh, you're young. I didn't know you'd make a scene with just a demon..."

Tio says that in a pungent manner as he looks over his shoulder at the stiff fragrance weavers hanging from the zombies approaching from the rear. To Tio like that, Yue turned a frightened glance.

"... Tio, you're so badass"

"Whoo!? It's a terrible thing to say. Well, in fact, sometimes when I'm older, I think I'm stuck smiling... but there's Yue, too, right?

"... no. I'm seventeen forever."

"Is that it? Yue's definitely been locked up since she was over twenty..."

Besides, haven't you read Saba, except for the 300 years he was locked up? Yue's notorious glance pierces Hajime when he hears that. Hajime wrapped the overflowing frosted zombie in flames without even hanging it on his teeth, but it broke in an instant because the sense of crisis ran through his spine.

"... Yue is seventeen years old forever, no doubt"

"...... hmm. Same age as Hajime."

"Don't be laid on your ass..."

Now Tio looks stunned. In the rear, the women are raped and noisy, and the hajime is laid on their asses in the front. Mitsui and Ryutaro looked at each other. And despite the fact that he was being chased by an immortal zombie, he was kind of a strange distraction.

Daddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd! and Frost Zombies chase them as they ground up. Proceeding with an explosion and a crying scream for five minutes.

Hajime and the others finally went out into a big space. It's domed, and if you say it's as big as a Tokyo dome, you'll see how big it is.

When Hajime checked the compass at hand, it was indicated that the location of the demon stone that was supposed to be moving the Frost Zombies was this room. Precisely from the ice wall opposite the entrance where Hajime and the others came in.

"I found it. Give me this far and I'll see you too."

Hajime grabbed a huge chunk of red and black fists in the demonic eye stone behind its ice wall and stripped his canine teeth violently. Hajime removed Schlagen from the "treasure trove" in order to wear a demonic stone so deep that it could not reach even the powered Donner Schlake.

Naturally, Schlagen is also enhanced by sublimation magic, which greatly increases its specs. Now it's a level where even Milady Golem's Azantium armor, once unrivaled to pierce, will pierce without difficulty. Even though it's not just ice, there's no reason not to penetrate walls that aren't even metal.

Bee Bee Bee Bee Bee Bee Bee!!

An anti-material rifle specializing in penetration that discharges violently and spreads bright red. Hajime, scissored aside and shrugged with one hand, tried to pull the trigger, at that moment,

"... Hajime!

"Chip, rookie."

At the same time as Yue's warning, a great eagle with wings spread from overhead has set up a raid.

Most of all, it's not just a big eagle. Everything is made of clear ice, the Great Eagle - Frost Eagle. That has emerged from the ice walls of the ceiling one after the other, and it has fallen as heavy rain.

Hajime, Schlagen fired overhead in an instant as he pulled out the shlake as it was. The flash, which runs straight into the sky, scatters shocks along with red ripples as soon as it lands on the chest of the Frost Eagle, blasting the body of ice. But when I just pushed through saying that wasn't enough, I also crushed two Frost Eagles, which were looming from the rear as they were, with shock waves.

The sublimated "Impact Conversion" allows multiple shocks to be fired on the burst bomb. Donner Shrark's bullets can scatter huge shocks every time they land up to three rounds.

Hajime pulled the Schlagen trigger as the ice fragments poured in sparkling glitter. Not even an overhead ambush, but a perfectly targeted muzzle runs a red trajectory to the Demon Stone in a straight line without aiming.

But...

"Shit..."

What, the demonic stone in the ice wall suddenly moved out of Schlagen's rays?

"Apparently, it's the same as the bacturum that was on the oasis. For example, you should see all of the surrounding ice as the opponent's means of attack. Everybody be careful."

As soon as possible, he issued advice to members who were responding to Frost Zombies, where Tio, who understood the situation, came down one after the other from the ceiling and overflowed the square from the aisle.

It proved immediately that the advice was correct.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!!

A large number of bipedal wolves have now been created from the surrounding ice walls. Just like Frost Eagle, his whole body is made of ice, and only his eyes emit red and black light. His body length was about two metres and he had sharp claw teeth and a beastly roar. Something like Frostward Wolf.

A space the size of which is no different from that of the Tokyo Dome is immediately filled with three kinds of demons. In the sky the Frost Eagle flies lightly over the triple digits, and the intercepted and crushed ones also play immediately to join the line.

Frost zombies, who seem to have three hundred from the rear entrance, overflow with a big mouth open as they groan and eat the hazies.

From the surrounding walls, a ridiculous amount of Frostward Wolf had already emerged to count, gradually narrowing the siege on the Hajimes.

Furthermore,

Bikie! Bakie!!

Such a noise sounded, and the ice wall where the demonic stone was located gave rise to a tremendous momentum. Increase its volume every second while capturing ambient ice.

And

"Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

As soon as possible he opened the shaped jaw gate and roared, as well as emitting a tremendous shock wave.

"" Out of bounds. "

Dauntingly, Yue deploys the Space-Disrupting Defense Barrier by Space Magic. Shortly afterwards, the space swayed like a violent earthquake rushed and waved against an invisible barrier.

Beyond that barrier, a demon with a demonic stone in his body appears completely.

It was a demon very similar to the six-legged tortoise, once called Absod, which was also present during the raid on the King's capital. It goes without saying, however, that all its body consists of ice, and on the back armor stands an ice pillar like a sword mountain, whose length exceeds twenty meters gracefully.

"Apparently, that's the kind of trial that comes first to smash through the armor of a bastard and destroy a demon stone, or swallow by a bunch of demons"

Hajime tells his guess as he laughs with his nose in front of Frost Turtle's beauty. Normally, the extreme cold is very cold, and after wandering around for a long time, I guess I'm desperate to have to fight this many herds, but the heat is irrelevant and the fire is impeccable to Hajime and the others.

Hajime gave himself a beastly glance back at Frost Turtle as he blued his face into the cold air and pressure emitted by Frost Turtle and surrounding conditions.

At the same time, water pressure from the Great Falls is released from the Hajime. Not only did I say in return earlier, but the fluctuations of red magic became a physical shock and ran through, smashing the demons around me with just that. No heart, it wouldn't be my fault that Frost Turtle seemed bare.

Hajime takes a step.

Frost Turtle roared again to deny that he was frightened like a human being. At the same time, the surrounding demons move in unison.

Seven Great Labyrinths [Ice and Snow Cave] - That first trial began here.
