Keep the blood in the safe zone.

Several adventurers have been reported to have lost their lives in an unusual labyrinth. But instead of a body, there wasn't even a place wet with blood.

The Labyrinth's function is solid and evidence that the bodies of the Adventurers who died in the Labyrinth have been recovered.

The bodies of Aruba's men will be recovered even if they are left unattended.

"I really wanted to take a break before challenging my boss...."

Look at the bloody ground and walls.

It's not a very restful situation.

"Adventurers should be able to rest under any circumstances."

So, Mars, do you want to rest here?

"--I 'll help you. I'll take it down."

"Ah, a little...."

Leaving Elmer to say something, kick open the door to the boss's room.

I don't see the boss.

Consuming the magic of the Labyrinth creates a new boss. Even though decades of time had passed, it had not been created because it had just been defeated a short while ago.

The door between the bosses closes.

At the same time, a black cymbal gathers in the center of the hall and changes shape.

"Mars has fought before, right? What kind of monster was your boss then?

Kid Knight.

"So, it seems that it has changed since the anomaly occurred."

Elmer, who did not fail to gather information, also knows about his boss.

According to Hova's report, it's a subspecies of Goblin Knight.

"A subspecies?

"They were wearing more beautiful armor than regular goblin knights, and they were stronger than before."

The reason for the abnormality was not considered in depth.

Reports from Vector are not in the Adventurer Alliance and have nothing to do with Hova's progress.

Besides, they were able to attack, so they were never defeatable opponents.

The details are unknown, but it was judged that way.

"It's okay."

"Thank you."

It's well-founded advice.

Sylvia will defeat him alone anyway.

Good luck with that.

"... are you serious about not fighting?

I'll treat you when you're in danger.

"Okay."

The boss finally shows up.

"The Paladin Goblin."

"Not like Goblin Knight."

It's perfectly compatible.

A chunky tall goblin is wearing armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand.

I know you're a knight from the looks of it.

But the trouble with paladin goblins is that they have the same power as goblin knights, but they can even handle magic.

The paladin goblin is pointing his spear at us and lightning strikes from the tip.

"Gem, please take Jilly."

Ah!

Immediately, the gem jumped to the side holding Jilly's body.

Elmer and Dia also jumped on their own and the lightning ran through their location.

That way, we'll hit the lightning behind us.

Hoi

Pay off the lightning with your right hand.

You can also cancel it if you pay with magic.

"I can afford this... hmm?

He's totally hostile.

Looks like it.

He's holding a spear and ripping the hostility out of me.

There are signs of a rush, but that's no good.

There's someone else you're dealing with.

Releases lethal air.

Indeed, paradingoblins are powerful. Still, only B-ranked adventurers have comparable abilities, so I get a lot of nervousness and hypocrisy.

But just because you're cowardly doesn't mean you can't escape your boss's mission.

In the meantime, I'm giving up hostility against me and targeting the weakest of them, Jerry.

"The choice itself is not a mistake."

I kicked the ground hard and ran.

But it is prevented by the shield of an interrupted gem before reaching Jilly.

"Oops...."

Preventing a blow to your body will disorient your gem.

The gap that I exposed. A paladin goblin that I didn't miss throws out a white sparkling spear many times.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

However, it is prevented by the Gem's sword, which has stopped somehow while being disoriented.

Paladin Goblin's Spear is spelled with magic that increases speed and power. Still can't break through the defenses.

"Don't stick around too much."

"What he wanted was to protect Jilly."

The word I used was "want to be strong."

But at the root of it was a strong desire to "protect Jilly."

Sylvia taught defense. Even though I taught him, he was even able to defend himself against various attacks from all over the place. Thanks to this, I was able to handle some attacks with a collapsed posture.

Lightning bursts from the spear of the paladin goblin.

You can't break through a Gem's Block with some Speed and Power Up.

Then it's powerful enough to break through the defenses.

"Can you just focus on me?"

Elmer and Deer cut behind the paladin goblin.

A paladin goblin with its spear facing the front. The next moment, a white lightning bolt is fired from the spear.

"Kh...."

Elmer defends by erecting a magic barrier, and Dia escapes lightning by forcing herself out of position.

The blast of lightning fell through the ceiling and hit Deer's head.

It's not about the two of us.

It's too late to realize the truth of Gem's words.

Tong, a small hand presses against the paladin goblin's chest.

"[Explosion]"

The magic released from Jilly's hand explodes.

A delicate magic that minimizes the power of an explosion and even directs it. Melissa protects herself from explosions by covering her hands with magic, but in Gilly's case, she can't afford it, so she manages the explosion itself.

Phew

Jilly breathes out after losing her focus by knocking on the magic.

"It's okay."

The explosion shattered his chest and his lower body flew far away.

Then, his right arm, which had a spear, fell to the ground with only his left arm and head, staring at Jilly.

"Is this what this is about...?

"No, it's unusually strong considering that this is the 10th basement floor."

Elmer and Gem's sword pierced the head of a fallen paladin goblin.

The Paladin Goblin was defeated without wounding them, but even the Arubans managed to take down the casualties. Most ordinary adventurers are defeated without doing anything.

"What about Mars and the others?

"Instant kill."

In fact, Sylvia has been chopped up less than two seconds since the paladin goblin became a reality.

You can kill her instantly by leaving it to her.

"That's amazing."

I had to laugh bitterly when I heard the word instantaneous killing.

"If you don't give up and keep training, you'll be able to defeat Paladin Goblin alone."

"Really?

"At least you're growing up now."

Their levels are still rising, to say the least, in their midst of growth.

"You still have plenty of room. The offensive has just begun, so let's move on."
