Parent Labyrinth Basement, 23rd Floor.

A space where rough earth and dry skies spread all the way. The horizon and the sky were a reflection of the labyrinth, but they were moving through a space where they would lose their temper just by being there.

"Are you okay?

Walking is clearly slower than walking up the hierarchy.

The day before yesterday's exploration started when the boss on the 20th floor of the basement was defeated and restarted the next morning from the 21st floor of the basement.

It was only two stories out, but it was worn out.

"Mars and the others seem fine."

Well, we can grant Immunity.

You can also use Labyrinth Magic to cope with the dry earth.

I don't suppose we should be able to grant immunity because we're following Elmers further in, but I don't want to get tired without using their abilities.

The four tired people were relaxed in their buttocks.

"That's...."

Dia stares far away.

You can see sand and dust dancing far away from what is quite a distance.

"Prepare for battle"

At Elmer's behest, Dear and Gem hold their weapons tightly and work their magic so that Jilly can unleash her magic.

We had two fights before we got here.

If the monster was approaching, it was only natural to be vigilant.

"I'm pretty sure there's a monster out there, but it's not like he's just about to be attacked."

Ah!

Deer, who sees in detail, speaks up.

Someone's fighting.

Yes. A swarm of monsters were fighting another monster before they met the Elmers.

"That guy. I met him at the Adventurers Guild."

I didn't even remember her name, Dear.

Still, Elmer understood with a hint.

"Mr. Hova."

"That person."

Elmer acted quickly after he knew someone was being attacked. Running to the spot where the fight is taking place at full speed, he slashes the opponent of the man who is fighting with a big sword at the beginning.

The opposing monster is the Lizard Man. A humanoid lizard that can stand on two feet and move his hands like a human. It's also a researcher specializing in onshore activities.

I've fought all the way down to the 23rd floor, so I understand how embarrassing it is for a Lizardman with a Magic Sword.

A Sudden Attack knocks down Lizardman.

Lizardman stopped moving and watched Elmer, who was obsessed with approaching the prey in front of him.

Living in the wilderness, Lizardman's body is covered in scales and hard to cut with a sword. The men who were attacked were also equipped with powerful weapons like the Great Sword.

"You...."

The men who were attacked - and Hova's party - stopped moving.

Two of Lizardman's men were already bleeding and collapsing in the attack. I would like to retreat, but it is impossible to escape Lizardman in the wilderness with nothing but wounded allies. We had to knock him down and run.

"I decided I needed help, so I took it down on my own."

If you were confident in defeating Lizardman on your own, you would have taken the prey from the side.

So, even in situations that seem unfavourable to adventurers, I get permission before I come in to help.

The more subtly ranked and oddly prized an adventurer, the more suddenly he or she tries to defeat himself or herself, the more fatally he or she is wounded.

"These guys are just us....."

"No, thank you."

"Mr. Hova!?

One of his friends tried to challenge Elmer, but Hova stared at him and silenced him.

Hova is well aware of the current situation.

"I'm sorry, but can I take care of the rest? There's no more power left to defeat."

"I understand."

At that time, Lizardman finally recognized Elmer and the others as enemies.

Lizardman slashes with the Magic Sword as he screams.

The ability of Lizardman's magic sword, the first to be slashed, is to extend the blade by up to one meter in an instant. It would be surprising if it stretched as close to each other as a meter.

The blade of the Magic Sword pointed at Elmer is stretched. An unexpected attack opens his eyes, but when he immediately regains his coolness, he deflects himself with the shield he has.

If you can attack with a stretched sword, it is a threat, but after stretching it, you will be exposed to defenselessness.

Slashed Lizard Man falls to the ground. Elmer's sword is also enhanced by enchanting his hard body with electric shocks.

Lizardman furious over the defeat of another ally.

"In that state, it would work."

--Ghhhhhh!!

A voice similar to the beast's shouting can be heard from a remote place.

Nor is it Lizardman's shout. Not to mention the shouting from the human mouth, but the shouting from the human.

Awareness is directed to all Lizardman's Gems in a remote location.

"[Provocation shouting]"

The shouting was a large shield held by Gem.

A Shield (Tank) that gathers enemies' consciousness and receives Defense from itself. It is a necessary role if you have the chance to take on many monsters at once, but no one in the party has the skills to take the Tank.

So I decided to use magic tools to make up for it, and the most defensive gem in the party.

"As always, don't sneak around with your magic."

A magical shield that drains magic when activated instead of guaranteed to collect enemy consciousness. Still, when Jilly is targeted, she keeps doing it because it has a huge effect.

Gems that do not possess large amounts of magic hide in their shields and receive all attacks from 4 Lizardmen. Gems used the magic effects of shields, but the shields are the ones that provoke enemies, so all enemy attacks go to the shields. As long as you endure the attack and keep holding your shield, you'll win the gem.

"- Do it."

"[Explosion]"

An explosion occurs in the mouth of a provocative and shouting Lizardman.

The surface of the body is covered with hard scales, but it is not as hard as inside the body.

The fallen Lizardman's body disappears. The explosion also took down all the remaining Lizardmen.

Phew

Jilly exhales after taking out four Lizardmen at once.

This was the third encounter, so I knew that attacking the body's surface would be ineffective, and I was aiming for the body from the beginning, but because it requires precise magic control, it is very worn out.

Because of the Magic Sword, he wanted to avoid the fight even if he didn't get much.

But Elmer and the party were still better off.

"Wow...."

Words leaked from one of Hova's party members.

I was honestly impressed to see the battle of the younger adventurers who won in a short period of time by the opponent who was exposed to total annihilation rather than being made to struggle.

"Are you okay?

"Ah, ahh...."

I felt relieved and worried about my buttock.

"That's right....!

I remember my wounded companion.

"You don't have any medicine!? I want you to split up if you have more!

They were also challenging the Labyrinth with potions.

However, there have been fewer potions for those who have suffered many injuries so far, and no potions have been sold that have the effect of healing wounds equal to fatal wounds.

"We don't have it either."

Elmer looks at one of the wounded and meditates.

I have a potion to treat the other one, but the one who suffered the fatal wound was not able to apply it.

Advanced level potions are required.

"Need it?

Place the potion next to the wounded man.

"Oops!?

The man who thought you could split up reached out.

"You can use it, but you know the price."

"Of course. I can't replace the lives of my people."

Hova answers after turning to the man who got the potion.

"Great....."

The wounds of the man who drank the advanced potion healed.
