Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
6 Medium-13 In the Labyrinth 1
Waltz (manoeuvring armor) going up, down, bent, jumped... into Yulia's one hand through the dark tunnel.
"... Something doesn't feel like you're attacking inside the labyrinth... this"
"... what? Are you trying to tell me what it feels like to bring your captured prey back to the nest?
"Hmm, that's not bad either... is it a love nest..."
... Julia blushes with a happy look on her face when she says that.
"... do you want me to leave you here?
Waltz (hologram), sitting on the shoulder of the manoeuvring armor, turned a nicked gaze towards Julia.
"Eh... hey... well, that won't be stylish!
"Then be careful what you say."
"Ugh..."
... when I traveled for about a minute with that usual exchange.
The two arrive at a relatively large space.
"... Hey, Julia? This place is so..."
"... Could it be that Master Waltz is thinking the same thing?
What the hell did they think?
... the answer was township (...) in the middle of the room (...) and (...) yes (...).
Shhhh!!
"Swan?"
"Master Waltz! I'm not about to get bogged down here! That's Hydra! It's white..."
... Apparently, this is a so-called boss room.
Pah!!
"That's fine. It's... it's like this aisle, don't you think, is headed towards the back?
"... Um, Master Waltz? It's like some kind of hydra blew up on its own and died, did you do something?
"Huh? No, I was in the way, I just hit a stone..."
Waltz's stone-throwing apparently had an immediate death effect.
Shortly afterwards, because you defeated the boss,
Bun...
With such a low sound, a staircase leading to the basement and a treasure box appeared.
Were the staircases concealed by space-controlled magic, as treasure boxes appeared with metastatic magic?
"So what do you think? You think we should keep going? Or maybe we should go back..."
"Right... so you leave the treasure box and move on?!
and Julia in protest against Waltz, who was walking down the stairs leading to the basement.
"Are you there? Don't you need anything else? If you're a weapon or a weapon, it's better to make a high performance..."
"Uh... that's right..."
"No... I guess there's something in there that you can say,"
To one of Julia's words, oh, I didn't think of that!, waltz with expressions such as.
She's trying to get back down the stairs, but...
Bun...
The stairs disappeared into the void in front of them...
"Huh?!
Julia turns to Zito's eyes against Waltz, who consolidates with his gaze toward the place where the stairs would have been.
And then, soon...
"... yeah. Shall we move on?"
"Get back on your feet, you're fast..."
Once again, the waltzes began to move through the labyrinth...
This hierarchy (?) to the ninth tier are cavernous winds, wetland winds up to the twentieth tier, and desert winds up to the thirtieth tier... etc. True (...) eh (...) dark (...). Waltz and the others go on without getting lost by scanning through the labyrinth, using conformal active sonar, etc.
On each floor, there was always one or more Boss Demons out there, but the Treasure Box box that came out when we defeated them... as if it were harassment, this again only contained the Boss so-called Mimic.
Apparently, this labyrinth is willing to prey on the waltzes.
He was also a waltz who thought about baking and eating a boss who would come out like that, but somehow, the moment he defeated him, he would become a particle of light and disappear, so in the end, it didn't come true to eat.
In the first place, this labyrinth, where no ordinary demons emerge at all.
Apparently, the Boss Demon is also a kind of phantom created by the Labyrinth itself, not actually alive.
Before such a labyrinth system, Waltz, at this time, was really thinking about eating a stone, but for a few dozen or so minutes from the moment he ate it, his abdominal pain would strike him so much that he would be incapable of combat that he couldn't even show a gap in a worse place than having to protect Julia.
Or I also thought about drilling holes in the walls and heating meat from the notoriously labyrinthine, but in the end I couldn't cross the dangerous bridge because if it wasn't suitable for a meal, it would be equally incapable of combat.
If I had at least the water I could drink, I'd have 'mass', so it would be a substitute for a meal...
However, there was no water in the labyrinth that seemed easy to drink, and since it took time and effort to extract the hydrogen that was the raw material of the water from the compound, it was not possible to do so either.
"Ah... mi, water..."
"Um... Master Waltz? Is your throat dry?
Beyond the 90 hierarchy, Julia makes such inquiries to Waltz, who used to call it water, water, from around the field full of craters, like the lunar surface.
"No, that's not what I mean, but I was wondering if, if I could just drink water, I could replenish the energy..."
"Uh... is it a diet?
"What are we going to do with dieting here... I mean, what the hell? Only water is a diet..."
Enter the labyrinth, approximately an hour.
It was not yet time to get angry with hunger, but because Waltz was too annoying, it seems that Yulia's throat is starting to dry, too.
"... me too, my throat is dry"
"Right... you just want to have a drink when you get out of here..."
and the waltz in the lower door shows a bare gesture of a single hand sip of the jock.
Then,
"Speaking of which, I've never been for a drink with Master Waltz... can you drink with Master Waltz?
Julia, who seems to be going out drinking with the hunters and the Catalinas (occasionally), uttered that question, which sprang up.
With a (air) jock tilted to her words like that, the waltz solidifies, remaining in a posture that ignores the physical phenomenon.
(... you're as sharp as ever...)
"... Dj..."
Julia turned her gaze like she blamed a lying child on a waltz whose behavior was suspicious.
"... uh... it's time for the boss room."
Looks like Waltz decided to move a little faster and mislead such a pursuit from Julia.
"Have you come to that yet... what boss is next"
Pun!
"... Um, Master Waltz? I think it's a little pathetic to kill him before I confirm..."
"No, something like this... sneeze..."
"Uh... Um, I'm sorry about something..."
With such an exchange without any other love,
Pun!
... waltz going downstairs, destroying the mimics that emerged like flow work.
And when I went down to the next floor, there was a different sight there...
"Julia? Do you remember what floor it is now?
"Huh? Didn't Master Waltz count?
"No, actually - I wasn't counting at all because I was focused on measuring the shape in the cave..."
"Oh, yes..."
... Note that the floor earlier is on the 99th floor.
That would mean this floor is on the 100th floor.
Both Waltz and Julia seem to have decided to think this is the 100th floor (or so) to the sight of slightly different furry floors.
"Really, the 100th floor, that's half the number. If it wasn't at least 64 or 128 or 256, it would make me itchy... don't you think?
"Excuse me. I don't know what you're talking about..."
"... yes"
Waltz with a sincerely sorry look on Julia's reply.
Well, aside from that.
Waltz takes his feet down to the 100th floor of the labyrinth and moves his feet towards the center of a strangely wide floor.
... So she was to realize the awesomeness of Julia's intuition.
... to the sight I see, two people who lose their words.
Because there,
"Shit... Dear Sirius!
... because Yuki and the others were lying on the ground.
And keep going,
"... and there are many..."
Julia mouths such a grunt with a stunned look on her face.
Yuki and the others in front of him, they all seemed to wear rings for transformation... but the transformation is unraveling because they've been sucked by the labyrinth.
(Well... I wonder what's going on...)
Finally, Waltz began to feel that the inability to use boost mode was becoming a big addition.
... This is how their labyrinth strategy was set to be in good shape in just over an hour since the start of the attack.
