I didn't know what the man in front of me meant by what he was saying.
"What? What's my share?
"You can't have that stuff."
I stopped seeing the man in front of me as a senior adventurer when I heard that word.
This is the enemy.
I'm not even an adventurer, I'm just a bandit.
But there's no way a weak man like me can win against an adventurer who could have fought. Let's make survival a priority here over winning.
"I've heard that treasure found in the labyrinth basically entitles whoever finds it."
"Oh, that's what it's supposed to do to avoid useless strife. So I'm gonna ask you to die here."
Everyone was pulling out their weapons.
I looked into those eyes and realized you were seriously trying to kill me.
I have no choice but to pull out my sword.
"Whoa, what's that sword?
A man asks with a niggling grin.
When I saw the sword in my hand, the blade was decaying in tears. The damage seemed to have been caused by piercing the dirt wall or magically forcing the wall to break. I forgot to check the state of my sword because I was excited to find a hidden room.
Besides, the blade that was missing just a little bit after I tried it collapsed even more worn out.
A leader was approaching me while I was doing that, and I've been waving my sword.
I try to take it with a worn sword that I was gripping aggressively, but I can't even take the leader's sword, and the moment the sword hit me, it was completely smashed and scattered.
"Oh, my father gave me the sword...!
"What if you're worried about the sword?"
"Ugh..."
The leader's kick is slammed all over his belly, rolling the ground in a gobble.
(Ouch......)
Looking up at the adventurers as they rolled in their faces at the pain in their bellies, the leader was moving beside the chest, checking Niyaniya and the contents.
"That's a labyrinth. I can't believe we have all this treasure."
"My people, we're a mountain split, leader."
"Of course."
You're thinking about what to do with the contents of the crate, the men laughed out.
"Why were you following a beginner like me?"
The men we met at the entrance to the labyrinth were on their way home from the labyrinth.
I didn't know why to tail a beginner like me until I bothered to stop that appointment.
"I'm a beginner, so I was following you."
"What?"
"There's a beginner's luck (Beginners Rack) in the labyrinth. It's easier to find treasure in a shallow layer than the guy who entered the labyrinth for the first time. Even when we first dived, we found jewels embedded in the walls and made about one gold coin. Then I caught a beginner like you before and took the treasure I found, but that treasure wasn't that great."
They were hunting beginners before me, too.
And it looks like I've been targeted by a bandit-like adventurer for a beginner hunt, too.
For now, when I stand up with patience for my painful stomach, I raise my hands to show surrender.
"Can you just miss life because I give up treasure?
I have a family at home waiting to get home.
"Ha, there's no way you're leaving."
When I try to look back at the voice I hear from behind, a sharp pain runs on my left shoulder.
(Ouch, ouch...!
Rolling to the ground again, he was clawing in his hand two daggers equipped by a scout man.
One dagger must have been wet in blood and stabbed in the shoulder by a scout dagger because it was getting red.
- Gussa.
An arrow pierces in front of me when I fall.
"Oops."
"Gu-ha."
Many times a avant-garde man kicks my body like a ball or something.
(These guys...)
If the men were just going to kill me, it would have been over soon. Still, I'm still alive because the men were playing with me.
"Hey, get out of the way"
A voice comes from the entrance.
My consciousness was starting to blur because I was kicked over and over again.
Still rolling in the opposite direction to the men who leave, either because they felt the danger to their lives.
An explosion occurs in thin vision.
(Fire Magic - Fireball)
Easy magic among the magic of the fire attribute, which also causes an explosion by creating a ball of fire and beating it against the target.
Someone will attack me instead every time I try to get up.
"Kaha..."
You're still going to play. The power of the fireball is also adjusted, and the heat and explosion have made it hard to breathe, but it hasn't become fatal.
- Picki.
I heard a noise from below as I rolled down the ground.
(... picky?
A careful look at the noisy place had created cracks on the ground.
(well, with the magic just now...)
Earlier, the fireball had adjusted its power, but the impact of the explosion had been transmitted to the ground because it had set more goals at my feet than that. And the wind was flowing slightly from the tip of the place where the crack was formed.
So I remembered that this is the labyrinth that goes deep underground.
The ground at my feet is only a wall separating the hierarchy from the hierarchy, not the ground where the soil continues to stretch. Beyond the flowing wind, there should be a space like the room you are in, or a labyrinth passage.
(If so...)
The men were crushing me, my health was consuming, but not my magic.
Gather the magic of None in your right hand and slap it to the ground.
"... Ground Shake (Earthwave)!"
Magic to such an extent as to rock the place where the magic was activated. Besides, to the degree of magic I use, I can't even stop the men on their feet by shaking.
"Oh, come on, what's that weak magic?
The men are laughing at Kerakera.
But only the wizard man realizes what I'm after, I urge you to pay attention.
"Chip, everybody off"
There is a small hole in part of the ground that was brittle by the ground shake. It's just big enough to get one person through.
Try to slip in and escape into the hole.
Now we can escape downstairs.
"Huh...?
But even if it was dropped at 10 or 20 meters, it would not fall to the ground - Bashan, I raised the loud noise and fell into the water.
"Well, you can't."
Being a leader, I teach my people what happened to the novice who is the target of this one.
I guess I jumped into a hole I had drilled with the intention of escaping into the lower hierarchy, but I never reached the lower hierarchy and fell into the water. Moreover, four to five hierarchies have fallen down from the time until the sound of falling in the water is heard.
No gear, worn out health, magic.
Even if you're lucky to be alive, you can't be safe.
"Hehe, leader. What do we do with this?
A fellow in charge of scouts asks.
In this job, this is the one who worked the most.
We were able to find this hidden room just by following him from behind where he was following us.
"There 'll be plenty of you to share, but basically all of us, including him waiting on the ground."
"Of course you are."
With all this jewellery, we can expect a bigger fortune than the jewellery we found when we first dived or the treasure we took from the last guy.
That's why novice hunting in the labyrinth can't be stopped.
