This is the deepest part of the labyrinth.

The purpose is to destroy the boss in the deepest realm.

"Avoid fighting as much as possible, keep your powers warm and get to the boss room"

Every step of the way, Kinosuke accelerates. Light industry will allow you to do some cardi.

As I've just noticed, this passage is slowly curved.

"Am I sensible right now?

Of course no one answers Kinosuke's crush.

When he accelerated to the highest speed he could now serve, Kim Noisuke was raising the roar of the beast.

The voice is ringing as if to tell a bunch of cardies I'm here.

And......

"... I knew I couldn't."

Kim Noisuke was beaten to death by the cardi who came.

Meanwhile, Waterbird family lord Sakroon inquired as he recommended chairs to the violators.

"Seems like you've brought someone a lot different?

"Oh, really?

Palms against cheeks, the violator laughs cheeky.

"I've been watching all the mighty since I got my temper. I think I know best who's trying to attack the labyrinth."

"Oh, so from Sakurune's eyes, what about Mr. Kinosuke? Do you think there's any prospect?

"I honestly don't know about strength. I don't think of anyone who's stronger than me. Still, he's very different from a normal challenger."

"What is it?

"It doesn't seem like you want something like that: merit, self-esteem, honor, prosperity, glory... Earlier we talked about including the reward, but it didn't seem to sound like anything to that man. He's not interested in paying off the wagers the Waterbirds offer."

"I'm Kim Noisuke."

"So what are you doing here, and that won't tell us, will it?

"I think you'll find out when Kiyonosuke returns."

"Oh man. Maybe you will attack. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to hope... how far can you go to build just an unnamed young man"

"Do you think it's impossible?

"Naturally. Few people even challenged Lord Black Dog in history... all those who challenged him are those who remember him in his arms, and yet he is too strong to help. Even more money comes in because of his name. More than half of those people die and most of the rest come back with major injuries... I wonder if he knows the reality"

"I'm Kim Noisuke."

Sacrine looks slightly suspiciously at the violator.

"I'm not sure why you can be so flat."

"Well... it's Kim Yuki who's trying."

"I just haven't gotten an answer from earlier...... your buddy has the same opinion?

"(Cochlear)"

…………

"No... that's something you're trusted with"

Sakroon exhaled heavily.

In fact, I had received a letter of introduction from Lord Urstan a few days ago.

It didn't say what kind of person he was coming, but he wanted it to be as convenient as possible, so he wondered if a good deal of strength would come.

Thanks to that letter, I was able to respond immediately when the application documents came up from the Labyrinth Management Department.

However, it is also true that when I looked through the application form, I was slightly disappointed.

The maximum level of cardies that I had destroyed by myself was 16. That strength leaves me quite anxious.

I felt "young" the first time I saw a person named Kim Noisuke who came.

Unlike the Dwarves and others, people can cover their physical disadvantages with skills and stunts. But for this reason, it took a long drill, and there were questions about how much experience I had at my young age of 21.

But I was also convinced to see who I came with. If it's a cardi hunter brought in by the eldest daughter of the Ente family. Or sometimes.

Either way, you can't refuse someone who came to challenge you with a promise to God of cards.

Sakurune wanted Kim to work hard if possible.

Kim Noisuke glanced heavily at Cardy's blow.

Cardy, who is now fighting, had his hands like a hammer and the attacks carried out from there were so intense that he had never been subjected to them in the past.

My consciousness was flying for a moment, and one hammer-shaped arm, hard as iron, hits Kiyosuke with a hack back on his face.

"Whoa, whoa!

Losers and Kinosuke also beat back at the smasher (smasher), and at that moment, the cardi collapsed when they hit each other. It emitted smoke and turned into a card.

"... hehe, I did it"

When I pick up the cards, the blood falls from the forehead of Kiyonosuke. Apparently, he cut his forehead pretty deep.

Now this is the third cardy I have defeated.

However, Kiyonosuke also suffered various wounds, large and small, and even more so to the leather armor, part of the helmet and shoulder area flew away somewhere.

Kim Noisuke puts a lot of effort into both legs and stretches them out a lot.

"You can still go, me?

There are no parts that do not move on the limbs. Built-in is fine. The blood enters the eyes and the vision is slightly red, but to that extent.

"Okay, we can still fight"

Kinosuke took on the smasher and moved on.

You'll see the next cardi if you walk about a kilometer as you've been doing.

The last space in the deepest part of the labyrinth.

Unlike previous passages, there was a sturdy built room there.

'Its presence' appeared all the time indoors where there was nothing before.

Its presence in the appearance of a boy slowly opens his meditating eyes.

"... you haven't been a visitor in a long time. And you... you're from another world."

"Hey, long time no see. I mean, when did you get back into this world?

That's the first time Kim Noisuke noticed discomfort after greeting him so.

"Hmm... wrong person?

Same look I saw in my dreams, but thank goodness something is different.

In other words, the magnitude of our presence is completely different.

Those who had ever been absolute martial arts masters suddenly gave such an impression from the boy in front of them, as if he had become just an old man.

"Seems like you've seen me before, but I'm sorry, I don't know anything but this labyrinth."

"Well... then I guess it fits me differently"

Kiyonosuke stood with his back on the wall, but he slipped to the floor as it was.

"You look pretty awful. But... by the time you got here, you had defeated all the cardies."

Apparently, the boy knows everything about the labyrinth.

"Oh... just a little... it's been tough though"

"It's probably the first time I've managed this place. Such a challenger."

"Really?

"Sort of. That's just an obstacle to selecting those to be tried. If you don't think you can do it any more, you'll go back the way you came, and you won't be attacked. So if you wait till the end of time, you won't die or get hurt. That's a friendly design. 'Cause if you're retiring on the way down the aisle, you're no match for the boss ahead."

"I see. So, the other challengers don't fight all the cardies and come here."

"Right. I think that would be a smarter way. At least if you're gonna take down the boss, there's no point in dealing with everything."

"I knew it... I tried to do that at first too, but I couldn't stand it. I don't know why."

"I wonder why.... So what? Last battle? If you want to go, I'll call you."

"What, you're not the last person?

"I guess I'm like a referee. It is a being that checks if God's made system is working properly and if it is not wrongdoing, and has nothing else power.... At the dawn of the attack, I wonder if it serves as a referee to admit it. That's about it."

"I see... so you're gonna wait till I'm ready?

"Right. Because, as I was saying, the cardi in the aisle is just an obstacle. So this is the real deal. We've all talked to challengers in history before we even started. Sometimes I get flattened out when I'm afraid. It's been a long time since I've heard from you."

"I'm a little on edge, and sometimes I talk to you. You look just like me, so I missaw you."

"Well, you're like my parents, so thank you. And if I ever see you again, will you tell me we're bored?

"I'll tell him the next time I see him. So I'm ready, but... that's enough."

"... really? Looks like he's hurt a lot."

"I don't have much time left. Please."

Okay, I'll call you.

Gu Won and the air around him trembled and something called out.

Small fragments combined and shaped one by one it became a giant monster with two thick legs and another pair with thorns.

"This is [Gaurant LV18], and it's a cardi with three tails and two pairs of legs, but the melee is dangerous because there are horns and thorns everywhere in battle."

"Thanks for the explanation. But... I can only fight close."

When Kim Noisuke stood up with a crusher (smasher) instead of a cane, he turned his torso and looked up at Cardy, known as Gaurant.

My whole body is covered in hard armor-like skin.

Underneath it the muscles are raised and it looks as if the muscles have entered.

"... even the wires at the construction site are jammed inside?

Gaurant makes the sound of muscles twitching every step of the way.

That's all I can ask about being the ultimate power type anymore.

"A good attack is a fang bite."

"No fangs anywhere..."

Instead of mouth, I don't even know where my face is.

It is to the extent that I can barely tell if this area is a face from the exuberance of the body surface as if I did it with steroids.

Then, part of his face opened poker, from which many thin, long fangs appeared.

"... whats that. You'll be full of holes if they bite you."

Gaurant turned his drooling mouth upwards and roared.

The air trembles, the sound becomes a shock wave and strikes Kinosuke.

"but ahhhhhhhh......"

Kinosuke also struck it out in a tearing mood, running straight for Gaurant and jumping at it.

Gaurant also recognises Kinosuke as his enemy.

The last battle has just begun.

Sacrine, lord of the Waterbird family, stared at the flames of the disappearing candle.

Fired candles are about to burn out.

"At this point, it must feel like you're fainting somewhere or you're hiding back where you left off."

Apparently Cardy won't pursue any more when the challenger faints.

So he rarely dies in the labyrinth, but sometimes he takes his breath away without that injury recovering.

"Prepare to save lives."

Sakroon gives instructions like that, but the violators don't move when they hear it.

"It's time. A young man named Kinosuke was also premature."

"Do you think?

"Yep... whoever clears it is determined and finishes the offense in about half the time it has been set. A single candlestick of time that exists as a limit is time for those who give up their tactics to bite their immaturity."

Already the candles were only melted wax and spicy burning flames.

Kinosuke will soon appear on the pedestal.

Are you lying injured or frightened and round?

Is there another cold wreck or something?

I don't know if he's alive, but if he is, let's do everything we can. Sakroon thought that was at least the best he could do for those who were prepared to die and challenge them.

The pedestal suddenly glowed as Sakroon thought about it.

"Whoa?!

"Geez."

The light subsided immediately, followed by the pedestal slowly cracking to the left and right.

"... no way?

The pedestal cracked to the left and right, with a large, deep hole in the original location.

…………

Kinosuke slowly crept up as they all stared.

Are you exhausted or sitting around?

But he seemed conscious, and when he saw Sakroon, he raised one hand.

"... Oh, hi"

"No way...... did you succeed?

Sakurune rushes over to Kinosuke.

"Yeah... I think I managed to succeed in the attack..."

That being said, Kiyonosuke gave out ten cards and placed the other one on top of it.

The card says [Gaurant LV18] firmly.

"No, seriously, I thought I was going to die..."

So much so that Kim Noisuke fell.

Kinosuke's whole body is already worn out.

There is already no leather armor, most of the clothes are torn and wounded all over the body.

It bleeds from all over, and the bleeding is also black and discoloured, dried and snapped all over the body.

"There will always be ten cardies in the aisle... did you knock them all out?

Looking alternately at the ten cards and Kinosuke, Sakurune takes the other one left.

The aisle and the boss cardi seem to get something different every time so that no measures can be put in place.

Confirm the name of the boss.

It definitely says Gaurant.

This time Cardy is also the only one who will have to accept death if he encounters it or escape knowing that it is futile.

It's not like I can do anything by myself, at least.

"You did it, Kim no Io."

Sakroon hacks into the words of the violator.

"It takes extraneous power to defeat the top alone from level 17..."

It is usually said that it is impossible to defeat a high level of cardi alone.

Damage to Cardy requires at least intermediate and higher skills, intermediate and advanced skills have a long tattoo time to get out, plus a large gap after releasing skills.

Alone, it may be said that it is impossible to use it in action.

or so, usually an attack or primary attack skill would not even inflict a scratch.

I mean, come on, cardyhunters, you can't even fight properly unless someone's attacked you and diverted Cardy's attention.

So no one, no matter how strong the cardi hunter, tries to fight alone.

The Waterbird family's first lord put a 'bet' on the god of cards, and the reason why the god of cards accepted it is also around there.

This' bet 'has become a system that no one can ever win, even if only the strong challenge.

"Shh, get treatment right away! And let all residents of Labyrinth City know about this. For the first time in forty-two years, a Labyrinth Attacker has appeared."

Those with you leave in a hurry.

Don't make any noise from now on, yes Sakroon thought.
