Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

19 Labyrinth attack with Grace

Well. Pay the rent, pay the tuition.

Order a magical creature, get all the furniture - the rest is 1838 kiligs.

The large outlays I had anticipated beforehand went coarsely, and if two people had as much as two kiligs a day for food, I could maintain my diet there. I don't suppose there will be any trouble living for the moment without wasting it, but if anything, it is money that suddenly becomes employed.

Six months from now, I'm going to pay another 450 kiligs for rent, and I haven't found anything eye-catching about my wand or robe. Especially the magic wand...... about 1000 kiligs would fly easily if you wanted to ask for the rank stuff there, and if you were alarmed, it would be gold to the point where it would be gone in no time. We must hurry. Labyrinth attack must proceed.

That's why I decided to go down to the labyrinth with Grace as soon as possible, starting the day after I brought in the furniture. I want to keep going to the sixth basement floor while the map is available, so I'm looking at that as a goal once and for all today.

"Is there something I should be aware of?

"The number of demons increases slightly, but it's okay in the same way we did when we came here last time. The fourth basement floor is branched with a door leading to another compartment and a staircase down, so don't go that way if you look at unfamiliar doors."

"Understood."

The staircase side is the way down to the basement. The branch door passes through a labyrinthine section of sewer and climbs to the old pit side.

The direction I aim to take will be in the woods of night and darkness, so you can dive into the basement without thinking about the side roads. There are no places to explore around here by way of example, so you should take the shortest route down.

"Huh!"

Grace's axe makes a wind-cut noise and literally crushes the avant-garde goblin. The wind magic from the circulating state, tapped into the cyclone, where the obstacle to the rear guard bow-held goblin was gone. Two bodies of goblins come together and hit the labyrinth walls and ceiling, shredded of meat and blown away as they were crushed bones.

Grace, looking back, threw an axe at him with a killer ant hanging that was looming from the other side of the aisle. The axe-eating ant slowly lost his head and stopped moving.

Continuing on from the last time, he employs an operation to crush the demonic ambush by putting the lightball ahead. The goblin with the bow came out, but there is no particular problem. Because goblins can just blind themselves at night, just move the light ball in front of them and crush them instead. I'm in a dark labyrinth from time to time, so I'm sure it looks like an intense light. Even if you get shot with an arrow, it's easy to prevent and avoid it.

That is why the search is going well. While retrieving the shifting stones and stripping them from demons, I was able to walk to the middle of the road on the fifth basement floor without any particular difficulty.

"Is blood drunkenness okay?

"Don't worry. The blood of goblins and cobolts... it stinks."

Grace frowned slightly. I'm not sure by my senses, but from her, who is a dumpy, it seems something that clearly makes a difference.

Well, so is that. I guess that's why vampires attack humans knowing the risks.

If the alternative is advantageous, you should be aggressive in attacking demons. If that's what fills the bloodsucking urge, then vampires should be thankful and not subject to crusade.

Chasing after the light ball that was letting him ahead made more noise across the bend.

I heard footsteps running from the other side and approaching, so I swapped Grace and the avant-garde guard to deal with it.

I myself can do melee without magic by caning and martial arts subjects. I want to be more polished with the technology around here, and Grace can attack ranged by throwing axes, so I can switch roles ad hoc like this.

Set up horn waiting against demons. Crush the flute of the flying cobolt with the tip of the cane and pull it down so as to roll the frightened into the rotation. Of a screaming cobolt with his throat suppressed, he slammed a weighted thrust into his mouth and stabbed a stop at once.

The other cobolt that came out slightly late is in charge of Grace. When the figure was visible, Grace's axe was thrown. A vicious mass of metal hits the chest plate directly and slaps it against the wall.

Grace pulls the chain at hand with ease that even yo-yo pulls back. When I wondered if I had sounded the martial bone chain, I returned with fierce momentum in the direction in which the axe flew.

Well...... this is pretty much how it goes. There can't be a problem. Grace seems to shake to the vampire side and get tense while he's ravaging when he can come to his vulnerable opponent in large quantities, as he did when he encountered a previous flock of killer ants, but that doesn't seem to happen either because the encounter is sporadic.

I quickly completed the stripping from the cobolt, and as I turned the corner and proceeded, I saw a staircase leading to the sixth basement floor.

I don't have a map from here, so in a way I can say that the labyrinth offense has also become the real deal.

"There are two more demons from the sixth basement."

"What is it?

"Wood Papettes and Whispers"

"I've never fought before."

"Puppets don't exist naturally. I'm going to pick a place for whispers."

Unlike the demons that have come out so far, there is a slight habit, but basically both are weak.

Wood Papette is an autonomous puppet.

They are better than goblins and cobolts as avant-garde because they have no pain or fear, but still no big deal.

Whisp is a blue and white fireball. I don't have an entity, but it gets damaged when it's scattered. And so vulnerable to magic attacks. It's no bitter opponent for me or Grace.

"You don't have to change what you've done before. It's the way the labyrinth is going that makes it a problem... there are still no traps around here and the structure is honest, so you can stay true to the basics."

"Proceed to put your left hand on the wall, was it"

"I don't mind my right hand. cheap but hard to get lost"

Grace nodded as she explained the precautions. Some structures don't work, but that doesn't guide behavior.

As we proceeded down the aisle of the labyrinth, we quickly encountered a papet. I tried to cross the spear lightly because it was spear-held - but it is a puppet puppet. I have no teeth at all.

When I gently turned my wand at hand and jumped up with my opponent's spear involved, I could easily take the gain away from that hand. Grace grabs him there and throws him at the wall, destroying his hands and feet and making him unable to move.

Stripping from the puppet is the glass ball area on the chest or head. It's also a weakness, so if you destroy it, that's the only way you can stop acting, but then you have the dilemma of losing stripping.

Whisp is... a lot easier. Mist with a wave of Grace's axe to leave the little demon stone on the spot. In order for Grace's axe to have a meaty blade, it is transformed into a mere being that can be done the moment it comes out.

The demons that have come out so far will also line up, but if they are dense, they will just tap into the magic, or else they will just scrape it off the edge. I didn't feel any particular problem.

There is no need to explore the small rooms because there is also a shallow hierarchy around here. As I was touring the aisle, I went out to a place that was getting wider and I discovered a stone tablet.

"What do you want to do?

"Shall I return here once? It was my policy not to waste maps."

"Understood."

Place the necessary amount of transboundary stone on the palm of the statue of the goddess engraved on the stone tablet. As soon as possible, on the floor of the labyrinth, the magic formation of light unfolded, trying to enclose the stone tablet.

That's the dimension of being transferred when you stand on the inside for a few seconds. A moment later he stood in the square at the temple entrance.

... Don't get noticed because it's the same outfit. There was even a bunch of people looking at this one and talking about rumors about whether one of them was telling back Snakebyte.

... Grace doesn't like being exposed to the crowd in a state of liberation, but it would be better to do the ring manipulation in a place where there are fewer people. First, the two of us went back to the carriage stop at the stables and took her hand in the carriage to activate the curse.

"Ha..."

Grace, sitting in her seat, closed her eyes and leaked a small exhale.

I don't know what to say - it doesn't even sound slightly glossy.

Well... I guess I don't have a choice. He returns from a powerful dumpy state to a regular person, so he feels quite weak at that time. Because the longer I liberated myself, the more accustomed I became to the feeling, the greater the difference.

Labyrinth attacks can sometimes operate in dark places and can easily be shaken by vampires. Perhaps the recoil of the example blood suction impulse is also coming. Grace is taking a slow, deep breath to calm herself down.

Well... you're right to put the controls back in the carriage. Let's continue to do the same. Grace won't like to show others the defenseless.

"How do you feel?

"It's okay. It helps not to be hungry."

Grace smiled when her eyes met. Somehow, there is a peaceful atmosphere.

Yeah. There doesn't seem to be a problem. Then why don't we go to the guild and redeem the loot?
