Staring at Zeon in front of you,

Everyone, retreat!

Instructions are given in case they are not asked.

Retreat!?

As for Aira, who was able to fight against Luze on an equal footing, she seemed unhappy with retreating under the current circumstances.

But it was too dangerous to fight Zeon with so little information.

If I get hit, we're all finished!

Just as you defeated Zeon and involved all of your family before, you will involve all of Sylvia by getting me killed.

It has been proven in previous battles that Zeon's [freedom] can only be challenged by my [world].

But that [world] didn't work either.

"If that's the case...!"

"Hmph"

"Hey...!"

Zeon grabs Noel's legs and catches him kicking like a shell from a distance.

"I'm your opponent."

"I'll take care of it."

Killier, who flew in the same way, grabbed Noel's head, and Zeon let go, and Noel's body was smashed to the ground.

It was a serious injury that could be called near-death, but I got a momentary gap.

[Metastasis]

It was enough to activate Transfer to return to the labyrinth.

"If you want to escape, do as you please."

"Eh......"

Being puzzled by Zeon's words just before she returned, she accepted the situation where the view in front of her changed.



"... are they all here?"

Yes.

Yeah.

The blown-up Noel was safely returned to us thanks to the help of Ellis.

There is a tightly sealed door in front of us.

The door that leads to that pure white world can't be opened for a while.

"What's the chance they're coming from over there?"

It's okay, I don't think I can open it for now.

I stroked my chest at the words of the labyrinth core.

However, it was a door that could not be locked.Just as we were able to open the door leading to the labyrinth in the city of Dodo, we are not going to be able to open the door in this labyrinth.

“I think it's probably okay.”

Melissa told me that she was thinking anxiously.

"His last words. Besides, if you feel like it, there's no sign of attacking us anymore."

The door remained silent.

That doesn't mean I can be relieved.

... yeah?

What's the matter?

Raise your face to the words of the Labyrinth Core.Then, a loud "Gachan!" sound was heard from the door.

When I looked at the door, a lock appeared near the center that hadn't been there before.

I tried to open the door, but there was no sign of it opening as before.The cause was the lock that appeared on the door.This is holding the door down.

It looks like your fear of Zeon has locked the door.

Horror.

The mood at the root of the lock made me feel complicated.But I know I'm afraid of when I'm dead.

Now you can't come this way?

I guess so. However, there is a problem with this method. "

I know, I know.

Lock on the inside. It seems that I can remove the lock of my own volition, but in order to lock it inside, I need to be inside.

It's impossible to explore over there without keeping it locked.

You may be able to lock it on the other side of the door.But there was an idea that it wouldn't work that way.

In other words, I don't have to worry about being attacked anymore, but I don't have a way to attack them anymore.

No, that's fine.

As it stands, I can't see Zeon winning.

If I could somehow fight in my own labyrinth, I could fully use the power of [World], and perhaps defeat Zeon's [Free], but it was more dangerous considering the risk of losing.

I don't know much about that world or my skills.

What was that world after all?

The clue we got was that the city of Dodo appeared suddenly, and Zeon and others could come and go as they please.Something extraordinary happened in the fight against them.

"That world is... the Divine Realm"

Are you okay now?

Noelle, lying down, slowly wakes up.

Noel and Killier were able to show more of their spirit than usual.

"The Divine Realm is a world where there is a God.That space is very close to the Divine Realm. "

I'm talking about the goddess Tishua.

I'm sure it's because God himself says "similar."

But the Divine Realm doesn't exist in reality, does it?

There is a world of God as a concept, and that is just what is said.

The goddess Tishua also disappeared into subspace, and was reincarnated by the people who honored her to watch over people as a god.

"Yes, but still close to the nature of God.That's why we were able to treat our spirit as if we were on earth. "

Is that what you were holding back?

That limitation would disappear because it was a space similar to the God Realm.

"In other words, the door that appeared on the bottom level of the labyrinth is connected to a space that mimics the world of God, and it is also linked to the earth."

It is no coincidence that the direction and distance of Dodo's city match where it belongs.

That said, isn't it risky to go and look into it again?

Worst of all, it's possible that Zeon and his team are waiting for you when you open the door.

We don't have to wait for everyone, but someone can just wait for us at the lookout and find out about our intrusion.

“What do you think? For them, our elimination is risky.”

Why?

Isla questions Melissa's words.

“As expected, their ultimate goal is to have five labyrinths around the world that have expanded to their limits.What if the Lord, the Lord of the Labyrinth, dies in his present state? "

"What's going to happen..."

It doesn't matter.

After the labyrinth lord is gone, the labyrinth core will continue to maintain the labyrinth, and if you do not decide the next labyrinth lord before you die, you will wait for the new labyrinth lord.

The status quo will be maintained.

No, it's gone.

"... what about you?"

But the Labyrinth Core meant something different.

"If you guys die at the end of your lives, I'm not going to give up the labyrinth to those who don't know what you're thinking.If anything happens to you, I'll let you destroy yourself before it gets into their hands. "

"That's all you have to do."

Alistair relies on materials from the Labyrinth.

If the labyrinth disappears, the periphery will be stuck in a few years.

"For them, there should only be a labyrinth that has expanded to 100 floors underground."The labyrinth expanded to its limit.It's all about risk, and there's not much we can do. ”

"Well, even if it's me, I can't hope for anything."So you have to find a way to beat them somehow.As far as I can tell, it feels very dangerous to leave them alone. ”

"... no choice. Let's do what we can without going over there."

Is that something you can do?

Sylvia responds by tilting her neck.

From now on, the Zeons will move to expand the Labyrinth one more time.Interference can lead to collisions and should be avoided as it is dangerous.

"First, I'll find out if I can find out if I don't have to go over there."And take the lead in the fight against them. "
