Episode 23 Black Magma
"Black magma...?
When I visited the volcano, I saw at a glance that it was unusual because I had actually seen a magma.
Maybe this is normal in the Parent Labyrinth.
Hierarchy that no one has ever visited.
I don't know the normal state because I don't have any records.
"By the way, it used to be a regular magma."
Really?
I'll teach Elmer, who is confused, the previous state.
This won't help.
Picking up the falling stone while thinking about the black magma, he throws it at the black magma.
When it falls deep enough, the stone is swallowed by the magma with the sound of jump.
It's melted.
Speak up about what happened to Deer.
It didn't look like an Elmer or a Gem, but with an amazing sensation, Dear saw a moment when the stone melted.
Of course, I saw the moment when the stone melted with me and Ira.
"Apparently it's a magma or something of a similar nature."
As before, the magma accumulates underneath.
The problem is that the color has changed black.
"It's the anomaly that's happening in the Parent Labyrinth that turned black like that."
"Yes, it is."
If only one correction is made, the cause is probably the cause.
"I'd like to look into it, but I can't go into it from here."
"Don't make a mistake. Don't touch it."
"I'm not going to touch anything that dangerous."
Proceed to the lower level.
There is a gentle path in the crater, but the left side is a thick wall and the right side is a cliff with nothing to block. If you step away from a little carelessness, you will fall towards the black magma.
It's a lot of room for people to walk alone, but you need to proceed with care.
"Mr. Mars, I need to ask you something."
I can't tell you about the labyrinth.
Information about the crater could not be gathered in advance.
Even if it's not what you get when you get back to town, I know how you feel about relying on me as your only source of information.
But that won't be an exam.
"It's okay. I know that if you go on an adventure, you need to explore a place that doesn't have any advance information."
Explore the ruins and other sites with absolutely no idea what the other side is like.
The ability to respond to sudden events is questioned.
"What I want to know is a little thing. I've been here before."
I see. I had to go to the lower levels to find out what caused the sword to overflow. "
Well, then you could have found the cause.
…… Ah. "
"And I'm still finding it this time. The reaction to seeing the black magma is too thin."
The black magma was also known in advance thanks to Sylvia's help in finding it.
And if I could find out who it was, I could see how to deal with the previous cases.
"That's good."
"Good?
"When I started exploring, I thought someone like Mars was interfering in the labyrinth and making an artificial anomaly."
We were the first to suspect the existence of a new Labyrinth Lord.
However, Noel immediately denied the possibility.
"No new labyrinth lord was born."
I can tell the other labyrinths that the newest labyrinth lord is still me.
Noel, who can be trusted, has not received any news of the birth of a new Labyrinth lord. Not only Tishua, who has almost lost his power as a god, but also other gods have yet to announce that the presence of the Labyrinth Lord can be eliminated.
"I've been searching for a while to get rid of it. This will not benefit the Labyrinth."
A labyrinth where people are extremely absent.
Even the magic to keep it not too far away disappears naturally.
"Somewhat a natural phenomenon."
Apparently the right answer was getting closer.
"- Stop!
Dia, who was leading the way, said to stop at once.
The path continues along a circular crater, but beyond the walls are stretches of roads and spaces that resemble a tunnel.
Four or five meters high, the monster appears from the other side of the road.
What appeared was a dark-skinned humanoid monster with a horse's head. A giant, muscular body that has just been cut, with a hammer on its shoulders.
"It's not just a hammer."
Both sides of the head are flat to crush the hit object, but a sharp blade protrudes from the tip.
A hammer created as a magic sword.
Even a magic sword doesn't have to be in the form of a sword. It should only have a powerful magic effect.
Blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A Mezu monster with a big body sprinkled with saliva shook his hammer at the Elmers.
The hammer that swings off the giant is quick.
Still, the four who missed the opponent's attack jumped back and dodged.
Again!
I can't see the three of us from the monster.
We need to cut through just the four of us.
"If you fight calmly, you won't lose....."
The ground where the hammer was tapped was worn out.
A part of the cliff has collapsed.
The Labyrinth can be restored to a broken place as long as it has magic. However, since we do not know when it will be restored, we need to fight carefully on the ground considering going forward.
"Wow!
A hammer strikes a gem that tries to jump into its pocket to knock it down quickly.
"Fucking swing!
I tried to catch it with a big shield, but I couldn't catch it, so I was pushed back.
It was the same monster that held up the power, and the recoil when it hit the shield knocked down the wall behind it.
The walls of the labyrinth do not break easily.
It is broken only by the blow when it is shaken up with a recoil.
"Hmm... the effect on that hammer is like 'weight reduction'. It only works when the person is swinging around, and at the moment of attack it will be devastating by its normal weight."
"If you're thinking about it!
A gem trying to sneak up on the hammer somehow.
Deer and Jilly struggled alone because their defenses were dangerous.
"I don't know if I can handle it."
Still, I figured out how to knock it down.
"I'm going to need your help with the investigation."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Elmer walks out in front of the gem.
Keeps swinging the hammer at Elmer as if targeting the first opponent was crazy.
Evades the monster's attack with a single sheet of paper as it bounces back.
Evade while scratching the cold sweat of an attack that could blow meat to pieces just by scavenging.
"Hey...."
Gems are trying to stop us.
But Elmer doesn't hear you concentrating on evasion.
"Bluuuuu!"
The monster who boiled his business to prevent the attack stepped in and attacked.
"--That's it."
It does not hit Elmer who jumped back strongly.
"B....?
"He seems to be strong, but he didn't have the knowledge to recognize his surroundings."
The monster fell straight down.
Jumping backwards The focus was on hitting Elmer, so I didn't realize that Elmer was jumping over the road and floating in space.
I kicked my magic scaffold into the air and returned to see the monster fall into the magma.
"Wow...."
A monster swallowed by a black magma is about to escape.
However, there is no place to be grasped nearby, and most of the body has already melted away.
It's too late to escape now.
Then the monster's body was completely swallowed up in a few seconds.
"... I see. There was something strange about the sight."
Apparently, I noticed something different.
Is the monster special or is the black magma special?
Either way, I was getting close to the right answer.
"Move on..."
- Kang!
Elmer stepped out and watched what was happening below.
When an arrow pierces the cliff at its feet, it explodes.
