Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

454 Road to the Temple of Moonlight

Finish stripping and go further back through the maze.

I got the loot forwarded, and even considering everyone's wear and tear, the exploration will go ahead. After that, you can go ahead and decide whether to fight or retreat depending on the scale of demons you encounter. If fighting in the Labyrinth in itself leads to this reinforcement, the battle itself is not for no reason.

Just bent down the green corridor - Sheila stopped moving.

"Theodore. Something moved around there when I turned the corner"

Something. These maze trees are magical and hard to discern... but they do have different wavelengths of magic. If you probe carefully around the area Sheila shows... there is an implant that houses a blurry magic.

"Hmm..."

There's nothing strange about the look of it... but when I lit a fire at my fingertips to get close, the branches avoided it. This...

If you stare up into the bush... somehow the wooden sinus is stuck like an eye and mouth, just like a face. I mean, I got my eye on it.

The eye cavity is blurry in the back and I'm looking at this one...

"Hmm..."

Expanding the magic circle of fire magic with the implications of the warning, the demon of the tree, which was integrated into the implantation, opened his eyes and retreated and ran away from it.

"Uh... fellow demons I saw in the Night Dark Forest?

With a slightly bewildered voice, Illumhilt asks.

"Maybe it's close. That's Trent."

And... the aisle also continued at the end of the wall where Trent was gone. Judging by the fact that it had blocked a place just like the one located at the intersection... it would have been in the role of letting the intruder make a grand tour as he progressed, or guiding him in the direction where the demon was or where the trap was. Either way, it seems a good idea not to go in the direction Trent wanted to direct.

I also somehow figured out the difference in magic wavelength. Let's just say there are no other places in the walls that are assimilating Trent, or we go along with a careful look.

Pumpkinheads come in laughing without any hesitation if they encounter this one. Something like a black shadow glides down the ground from behind it.

Shadow Soldier, a demon who moves like a shadow on a plane, approaching and setting up an unintentional strike. It's called appearance and good ability, Cadkeus… It's similar to shadow mercury (Merclius), but it doesn't mean that you can change your appearance freely to the extent that you make a morphological change when traveling and attacking.

In this case, I guess it's a braid with the aim of an ambush from the ground, keeping your eyes on the flying pumpkin head.

"Go"

"Watch out for the shadow at your feet. I'll cover you, though."

"Mmm, I see it."

Sheila, who answers briefly, pulls out a knife and sticks it into the pumpkin head. At the same time, Illumhilt released an arrow, cutting into where Pumpkin Head's movements were disturbed.

He makes it look like he's going to see a shovel with a pearl sword, showers the spider's thread, seals the motion, and then slashes him in.

And - the shadow that revolved around to Sheila's back rose from the center, becoming some sort of soldier-like silhouette with a sword. It's impressive that it glows only red in the eye area.

But that's it. Something like a black spear popped out of Sheila's shadow and skewered her to feed the counter to the shadow soldier that had been slashed.

Get in there on the valor and stick it in. If you tap Uroboros into a planar shadow soldier that is still moving through the ground, the shadow stops moving along with the feeling of tapping the water.

As I fly the Valor in another direction, I fly towards the pumpkin myself. We all blew up pumpkins trying to respond with pruning scissors, and the other shadow soldier was shooting out as Valor plunged into the ground.

The advent of the enemy is sporadic. So far, a group of demons led by Cerberus earlier is the largest in the Star Gardens.

There are many things you should be aware of as you walk through the maze with the grim reaper slipping through the obstacle, the shadow soldier slipping through the ground, and the trent that is moreover simulated on the wall… well, the easier it is to deal with the more demons you grasp the kind that emerge. Don't cower, but be careful. And let's just say we move on with the exact response.

- Green walls that go on and on. The end of it came abruptly. The green wall on my left hand was suddenly only broken in one place, and when I peered ahead from it, I found out that it was apparently the exit of the maze.

I thought I was seeing a starry sky over my head or some blurry light around me... I guess it's part of a star garden - it doesn't have the same atmosphere as a maze. Plants are not growing. It continues downwards as the narrow road draws a gentle curve through a rocky, slit-vitreous texture.

"What's under this ramp?

"There's a sealed door. But it wasn't made by the Labyrinth."

When I asked Claudia, she had such a response. That means......

"... the Temple of Moonlight"

Claudia snorts at my words.

This is where the Seven Wise Men sealed the Alliance Lord of the Devil. At the moment, the Spirit Kings should remain sealed, so perhaps we can only get in about Claudia's metamagic. Besides... there are still some things that are hard to reach against the sealed allies, given their abilities.

However, it is the target point for this time. Because if you can't get to the front of the Moonlight Temple, the deep offense ahead is also tough.

So in some cases there was also the option of training demons in large corridors and star gardens.

"Let's go"

With that said, everyone nodded with a nervous face.

Like other spiritual palaces - the Temple of Moonlight is a deep but heterogeneous place whose composition is different from that of the labyrinth side.

Therefore, this is not the place the Guardians are protecting. or so...... it's hard to even think of a thin defense.

Assuming I am the Seven Wise Men, I will place a defensive force against the Demons there.

I mean, it's nothing more than a prep for the devil. It is a bad idea to step into the Moonlight Temple in a detour and cut the kind of defensive warfare and traps set by the Seven Wise Men.

Either way, until before the seal, you can't be alarmed. Naturally, we should also consider the option of withdrawing without fighting.

Going further... Serafina said.

"Theodore."

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"Eh. It's not a bad thing... I don't know, I'm doing great. It's like around a ritual venue, and it builds strength."

Mallane snorts, as does affirming Serafina's words.

"... oh. Is it because there's a line between the Spirit Kings? Do you have the power of the Moon Goddess?"

"To be precise, should I say the power of faith directed at me"

Claudia says with her eyes closed.

Spirits that have not even manifested themselves in monoculars are seen to be active. Silf drifts in the sky on a running salamander. Undine is nestled in a small waterfall that flows down the rock wall. The people like the dwarves in the dust hat, peering through the shadows of rocks everywhere, are gnomes.

As for Gnome, I hear he looks like an old man, etc... but when I actually look at him, there are a lot of variations. However, although hats and small bodies seem to be common trademarks.

All of this is slightly difficult to see even with the monocular glasses because it looks clear... well, I feel the power of the Spirit is increasing as I follow down the ramp, even if I can't see it.

And the power of the Moon Goddess. It would be the witch of the Moon Goddess who Mallane feels strongly about. Because the Temple of Moonlight is a place designed to seal the Alliance Lord and incorporated to gather prayers and faith in Claudia inside the labyrinth.

And... the end of the ramp had become a square. I see a big door at the corner of the square. A decoration that reveals the position of the stars engraved on the door. It's the same sealed door as the Four Spirit Palaces...

"of the Temple of Moonlight... a sealed door."

When Rosemary tells him to whine, Claudia nods.

"That's it, I guess I should go home"

It would be better not to step into the square. If you choose to intercept before they advance inside the temple, that's the place. Claudia nodded and tried to use metastatic magic, that's when.

"I can't show you inside, but you won't be in such a hurry."

And the voice of the stranger echoed around. It's a woman's voice.

As soon as I was around, the movements of the spirits became active. He looks happily at the center of the square. Especially since the water spirits seem to have a lot of tension - this is...

"Theo, give me that...!

Grace points to the corner of the square. Water gathers up like a vortex in the air.

There's no sign of a magic trap being placed. Does that mean... the spirits who were on the ramp called? If this is the defensive mechanism of the Seven Wise Men, then what manifests itself on that occasion is -.

Swirling water takes the shape of a person. No, it's something very similar to people.

... Yes. The impression is that it may resemble Tefra. He wears a white thin silky textured dress and a tiara inspired by seashells and corals.

Long marine blue hair is changing from middle to water.... you look like Tefra from that point of view. High spirits. But this...

"of water... Spirit King"

Ashley squeaks. Did he hear the voice, and the Spirit King of the Water opened his eyes, which were closed, thinly, and smiled gently.
