It was the 21st floor underground in the labyrinth that took Illis and transferred them all.

From what I've heard beforehand, they've done a level increase in the labyrinth a few years ago, and that's when they moved on to the 20th floor underground, coming back without challenging the boss in the deepest.

That's why it's no problem to start with the mining field on the 21st basement floor.

On the contrary, it is not enough in Meadow Field because its status has improved beyond thought since the time it challenged the labyrinth.

And the mining field was hit and put on in order to ascertain Illis' strength.

"That's a lot of Ore-based demons"

"You know what I mean?

"Is it because of the labyrinth adaptation? You can see what the hierarchy looks like now."

The neighborhood is just like mine.

Thanks to the labyrinth adaptation, a map in the labyrinth is displayed in the corner of vision, as well as the location of the demons, although roughly. Thanks to this skill, you don't have to worry about surprise attacks in the labyrinth.

A demon appeared who felt people's signs as he waited a little.

- Gobbling.

I can hear the rocks rolling.

In fact, a rock slightly larger than ours, less than two metres long, was rolling towards us from a distance. The Great Rock is not just a rock shaped demon - it has the habit of trying to crush the person who visited his territory with an iron rock. The territory for them is all underground on the 21st floor.

Adventurers who visit the mine field tend to avoid it, as the more difficult it is to scratch it with semi-prone attack power, the more defensive it is. It is easy to avoid because it moves slowly and linearly.

"Well, what do we do?

I asked Iris on purpose to see if I could fight.

By the way, all non-Illis members can defeat Iron Rock, including me.

"I feel like I can take you down now"

Illis pulls out the holy sword.

Her holy sword is thinner and longer than the holy sword she gave Ira, so she specializes in swinging fast and slashing enemies.

Comparing a thin sword to a hard body of iron rock, it doesn't seem very slashing.

The iron lock approaches up to ten meters.

The blade of water emanating from the tip of the sword flies straight away as Illis waves down his sword toward the iron lock.

Water attribute magic - water cutter.

Primary magic among water attribute magic that generates a blade of water compressed to high pressure to slash the target. Iris was strengthening the image of the blade and enhancing its sharpness by waving the sword down and activating magic at the same time.

- Slash.

A blade of flying water breaks the body of the iron lock.

The iron lock that was rolling fell to the left and right and a loud noise sounded.

"You're a water cutter now, aren't you?

"That's right. It is considered elementary magic because it is a simple attack magic on its own, but it changes its power depending on the amount of magic and image it uses, which is more than expected."

You didn't think you could break it off. Illis is confused.

A common tactic is to smash and crush a hammer-like strike weapon over and over again. Ironlock stops functioning when you lose about half of your body, so it's not difficult for someone with high muscle strength.

It is a popular demon from adventurers who can fight because at the heart of Iron Rock's body is a pure demon stone and it contains precious metals in the body that make it gold.

Only a few demonic stones are visible from the broken side of Illis.

It's a slightly irregular defeat, but it's possible to shut down the function without having to destroy more than half of your body just destroy the Demon Stone. Most of all, in that case, few adventurers destroy demonic stones because of their lack of flavor.

Illis will destroy the demon stone.

Until then, the iron lock movement that was about to get up stops.

Our aim is to explain to Iris what the labyrinth is like and to figure out her strength, so we're not thinking about recovering demonic stones and other materials.

"My weapon seems to be more efficient when fighting a defensive opponent because it is so thin and brittle that it is used in conjunction with magic. Until now, I've only fought with either a sword or magic to keep my magic warm and tailored to the situation, but with my current status, I can keep fighting enough."

Illis using magic, but not magical specialization like Melissa.

I'm not as specialized in melee as Isla is either.

In the end, it meant that it would be better to use the sword and magic separately, just like me.

"Looks like you can fight enough Ore-based demons with your opponents. Let me show you the taste of the labyrinth."

Beside the demonic stone of Iron Rock, which was defeated by Illis, there was a small lump that glowed gold when looked closely.

trace, but gold is embedded.

"Are you sure you want to find the money so easily?

"Normally, it's not easy, so you get it. Ordinary adventurers keep fighting for more than a dozen minutes to defeat a single body, battling with wounds and only gaining precious metals worth less than one gold coin."

But the quantity is tiny but I can assure you I get the gold.

For this reason, it was popular with adventurers.

"That's right. It's going to get too strong and it's going to make you feel weird, but if such a hard demon isn't established as a tactic, it's a demon of strength that advanced adventurers would deal with."

Sylvia squeaks smudgingly as she stares at the broken iron lock.

But I honestly don't agree with that opinion.

Even Sylvia is now one of the advanced adventurers, and she was able to crusade Iron Rock from a fairly early stage.

Sylvia's way is special.

"Your husband."

"I know."

I can hear the iron lock rolling in from another aisle.

"Another feature of the mine field is the material of the wall."

Unlike the cave field on the upper level, the walls are able to be destroyed.

Beating the wall a little harder with a status of over 1,000 peeled off, and smelted iron came out of it.

I usually dig while using tools like tsuruhashi.

Sharpen walls that can be destroyed to get metal from inside.

That was what characterized the mining field.

But metal is heavy anyway.

There is not so much that an adventurer who doesn't have the magic tools of a space expansion system like storage rings can take home because they struggle just to take it home.

In addition, demons appear, so it becomes a vigilant exploration.

"The concept of the 21st basement floor takes you back to the city by obtaining ore and metal from the surrounding walls while countering a time-consuming iron lock on the crusade. It takes time to dig and crusade, so the adventurer stays longer."

"I see. Because the longer you stay, the more magic you get -"

"That's what I'm here for, but this situation would be bad if it were normal"

Notice Melissa surrounded by iron locks at the front and rear of the aisle.

But he doesn't look panicked at all.

"I'm going-!"

Illis sets up his sword again.

But he seems nervous from a situation surrounded by hard demons back and forth.

"Silvia, Ira"

"Yes."

"Rikai"

Sylvia and Ira run respectively.

"Is that...?

Iris, who seemed nervous, is a pocan.

At the end of her gaze, there was the sight of two people stopping the movement as they ran past beside the iron lock.

"I knocked him down, did you?

If you check with the map displayed in the labyrinth indication, you will hear that the iron lock reaction is obviously dead because it has disappeared.

Well, it just looks like Ira slashed every demon stone iron lock when she swung through the sword in Iris' eyes and stopped even though Sylvia wasn't slashed when she waved the dagger.

Ira had slashed in defiance of her defenses with "clear mirror water stop," and Sylvia was only slashing demon stones through her hard body.

"Oh no..."

Looks like the confidence attached to the slaughter of a hard demon has shattered.

However, we need not only to check the strength of the Iris, but also to ask the Iris to check the strength of its members.

"You just have to understand that drilling is a place where you can do that, so let's keep going in the back"

Proceed to the back with Illis at the forefront to try to proceed as you wish.

But I quickly got to the bottom of it just to make the fight go away with the demon rock ant, which is about 70 cm long and looks like an iron lock or ant a few times because I know the right directions.

I tried to make you remember the fear of getting lost, but it didn't make sense.

"What do we do? You want to go upstairs in the basement like this?

In front of you is a magic formation that can be transferred to the 22nd basement.

"Isn't it necessary because it looks like you can fight Ore-based demons without any problems? The drill malls and stone crawlers that come out under this need different attention, but that's not what we should care about."

"Right."

If so, we should move to the next field.

"Next destination is the 27th basement."

"Is it there by any chance"

Let's go to a strange hierarchy.
