Lesson 25: The Baptism of the Underground Labyrinth

I think the temperature on the field went up the moment instructor Nakita said he was fighting the demons.

Naturally, too.

Most of the people on this scene hunt mountains of demons while they are in school, get lots of demon stones and give them a rank, and on graduation, they will be rank 3 and become honorary nobles.

They're just the ones who are twice as interested in defeating demons.

"Well, look at this floor. Wouldn't everyone notice?

Instructor Nakita asks, and I raise my hand.

"Whoa, expectant privilege student, what did you care?

"Too many people. More than demons."

"Correct. Yes, the shallow floors are full of people. Because even low ranked demon stones can be enough money. Few people go out of their way to dangerous deep tiers."

Too strong a demon stone chooses people. The more weak demon stones anyone can use, the greater the demand.

Outside this city there are countless people who haven't given it rank at all. Low-ranking demon stones are not enough.

"A shallow hierarchy can get you right back to the ground, demons are weak and safe, and you can make money. Normal people don't make sense to dive deep."

Then why are there people diving deep?

That's to get stronger. Even the less valuable demonic stones are truly insignificant, but the power keeps rising. That said, that's too inefficient, so we need a strong demon stone.

"Well, once this city also improves its situation, instead of paying an awesome tax when taking low-ranked Demon Stones outside the city, I'm buying higher-ranked Demon Stones out of Explorers for that money and more. As a nation, if you don't defeat more and more powerful demons, Erna will accumulate and one day create a monster that can't be reached."

As she puts it, the deepest device of the underground labyrinth continues to collect an unlimited number of ernas.

Elna is dissipated by the act of defeating demons, but if it's just a shallow hierarchy of miscellaneous fish, it's only water in the baking stone. Dive deeper and deeper, or you'll break a strong demon one day.

"And then, look, look at that one"

Where she pointed out, a snail demon was born about 1 m in size.

It was literally born.

A black cloud gathers in a space of nothing to shape the demons.

A party of three sets of explorers rush to snails to change their blood phase.

A man in the closest position wields his sword.

At that moment, a second group of party men released an arrow, which arrived before the sword touched the snail.

The man in the closest position punches his tongue, then turns around, stops the attack and opens his hands wide to offer his body in front of the snail.

The snail reaches out its tentacles and attacks the man. The man niggered and swung down his sword and stabbed a snail in the stomach.

There, the sword man and the bow man's party arrived, vehemently arguing, and eventually developed into a punching fight.

"Amazing, isn't it? You're lucky to see such an advanced rush."

I laughed bitterly at what instructor Nakita said.

"There are so many junior explorers who are unwilling to increase their ranks up to the third basement, and all that demonic attachment."

Anyway, if you look at this hierarchy, no matter how you look at it, there are several times more humans than demons.

In order to earn the Demon Stone, it inevitably becomes a demon snatch.

"Explaining the current one, there are rules that the first party to attack can secure their prey as a priority. So, before the sword is waved down, let go of the arrow and the bowman's party gains priority. But, you know, there are rules that say priority doesn't mean you can't fight back when you're being attacked. So that swordsman deliberately let the demon beat himself up"

The students lose their words to much blame.

"That was pretty blatant. Now, if the two groups participated in the battle, it would be better to stab the demon stone, and the swordsman took possession of the demon stone, but the people who shot the bow deliberately said, and the swordsman is fighting with each other because they violated their manners to release the bow even though there were people on the ray. Hey, it'll be interesting."

Nobody says anything.

The students here admire the Seeker more or less.

That is turning into disillusionment.

"As instructors, I hope you won't join us. I just want you to give it a rank and work hard in a hierarchy where there aren't many people. And precautions."

The instructor raises his finger.

"Only because it's far from the Elna's aggregator, and because of its thin concentration of Elna, it's hard to produce strong demons, some of which come up from deep layers, and like mutations, strong demons sometimes appear using a few minutes of Elna even where the concentration is thin. When you see something like that, you're definitely getting away with it."

In fact, I once died of it.

A monster that doesn't match the hierarchy.

It is one of the major causes of death for the Seeker.

"And as you flee, aim for the entrance where there are people wearing silver armbands. Until about 5F underground, a gatekeeper of Rank 2-3 keeps an eye out for the top tier, and suddenly even if there is a strong demon, he will deal with it."

Anyway, if a Rank 2 equivalent demon shows up on this scene right now, most of the miscellaneous fish cashiers on this scene will be killed.

A gatekeeper with a silver arm badge is available in the shallow hierarchy so that it does not.

"Then the explanation from the teacher is over. Well, good luck to you all. Today, I'll take care of you. Don't worry, if it's not instant death, I'll help you. One thing, I forgot. Is this hierarchy scarier for humans than demons? Go ahead."

The students dissolved after the instructor's signal was finished.

"Well, Kuna, Anne. Today's goal is to get ten demon stones."

"I can't do it if there's only so many people here."

"Right. Exactly, you can't."

The basement 1F is about 20 km from end to end, both vertically and horizontally.

There are now more than five hundred people there.

The demon will boil about five of these elna concentrations.

The amount of time you spend here is roughly four hours, five hundred people out, while you have to make sure you have 10 out of only 120, roughly 10%.

Hidden demons are not included in the calculations. They have the nature of being bewitched by magic, and they attack the Seeker from themselves, so they are found at the moment of birth.

"That's if you do it the right way, I can use magic to figure out where it came from before I was born."

"…… Sauji is already a cheat in existence."

"That's Sauge. You're just my master."

As Elna gathers and demons are born, we can predict from Elna's fluctuating pattern. There is regularity in the density and flow of the elna. More than a million statistics were taken and analyzed to finally discover its regularity. It's the magic of the blood crystals of the Irlande players of the game age.

Approximately five minutes before the demon occurs, the appearance of the demon is confirmed.

"But if there's magic that can be so convenient, how can it not be spread?"

"Some people actually tried it, but I guess it didn't come to completion because it's really delicate and difficult magic. And even if I could, there's no way I could spread that. You can only use this so you can outrun others."

"Ugh, human ugliness, human filth."

"Well, even Kuna used the past questions when she took the exam."

"Grandpa, that's a promise I won't tell you."

"Who's your grandfather!

I go into the coona and then I get more focused.

"[Erna chanting]"

Magic brings a clear picture of Erna's distribution. Judging by Elna's movements, no demons occur in this place within five minutes.

"Kuna, Anne, there will be no demons in this place for five minutes. Running. It's inefficient if you're not running because you only have a 500m detection range."

"That's plain inconvenient."

"In temper, maybe a hundred times less effective?

"Can you!

That's just about it, and my arithmetic skills will exceed my limits. Actually, even 500m is pretty full.

I run ignoring both of you bullshit.

That's how we travel at high speeds and follow the demons around where they occur in less than five minutes. And when I ran enough, I finally caught the first point.

"All right, here it is. There will be demons here in twenty minutes and twenty seconds."

"Something like that, Sauji, is such a handy skill that you should be grounded in the five hundred ordinary people you're looking for with your blood eye."

"Say anything. [Magic Silver Smelting: Spear/Wear]"

I'll turn Mithril into a spear in advance.

Elna's movements become active. Elna poured into the gap in the space.

The elna thickens in the eyes and becomes angry, and the demon materializes.

"Yes!"

At that moment, my spear protruded and poked deep into the soft spot of the snail demon.

"[Thunder strike]"

Spears made of conductive misrills efficiently flush the thunderbolts created from my palm and burn snail monsters from inside my body. It's the usual way to take down demons with ease. No demon can work out to the inside of his body. If you spear through the hard skin and then pump in the electricity, you can drive most demons to death.

"Yes, thank you very much."

Fifteen minutes and twenty seconds including travel time on the first one. Well, it would be good.

I scrape the shell of the grilled snail and quickly decide on the demonic stone in the heart area.

"Come on, let's go next, next"

"Is Sauji really the first underground labyrinth? I'm so familiar with it that I'm scared to look at it."

"This is as natural as a master. You can do anything with your sword."

"" That's not it ""

Me and Kuna go into the sword fool.

"For once, I'm studying a lot in advance. Next, have Kuna knock you down. Next up is Anne. Fine, exploratory magic eats magic, so I want to leave the crusade to both of us."

"Copy that. With Kuna's magnificent flame, you'll turn it into ash."

"Don't break the magic stone."

"I will work positively"

"I'm worried about that phrase."

"I'll do my best, too. I can't show anything unusual in front of my master."

Thus, with the full use of my magic of location prediction, we were able to hunt twelve demons over the scheduled number in four hours.

If you purify this and use it more efficiently, you will be able to raise either Kuna or Anne, to the middle of Rank 1.

Our party rises once and for all with this overwhelming ability to fight the enemy and a super efficient rank increase due to purification. I'm glad I have confidence in that today.
