Episode 14: Wangdu Labyrinth - Upper Level -

When one of the knights touched the wall, which was the end of the line, he was able to push it, thus creating a small smudge.

It was a small room with stairs to the basement when it shifted sideways like a drawer. The size is not enough for one adult to afford it.

"Let's go."

Prince Randolph, who took six knights, goes down the stairs.

We have no choice but to follow.

"This is the labyrinth..."

The first knight to see the labyrinth was squeaking.

The space down the stairs was not so different from our labyrinth cave field in a dim cave covered with rock-skinned rock beds. However, the crystal that serves as the light source is sticking out of the wall, but it feels weak compared to what I know. It seems that this area is the effect of the accumulating magic of the labyrinth.

If you ask the labyrinth nucleus, it might tell you.

But I don't ask.

If the Labyrinth is truly in distress, it is likely that the Labyrinth Nucleus will no longer be able to help. We want to deal with it as much as possible on our own.

"We'll take the lead. Follow me, Your Highness."

"Uhm."

One of the knights takes out the lantern.

The light obtained from the crystals is weak, and it is not wrong to prepare a new source of light given that it will be ambushed, but what about the knight blocking his hands?

Four knights step forward, Prince Randolph in between. Two knights in the back refrain.

"Um, is there anyone who can use magic?

"You can use the two of them behind you."

The two were wizards in robes, although they had swords for protection on their hips.

"If you want to explore the labyrinth, this is more convenient."

Send Melissa a sight of sight.

Then a sphere of light and flame is created in her hands.

Light sphere (light ball).

Fireball (fireball).

Two light sources brighten the dim labyrinth.

"If you can use magic, it's more efficient this way than using lanterns."

"But neither of us should have had a problem with aptitude."

"Your Highness, I can also use the photosphere against aptitude for the attributes of light and earth. But my magic shouldn't be used to do this."

"Alto is right. If you're going to make it up to me with tools, you better keep your magic down."

"Right."

Prince Randolph convinced by the knight.

Seems right at first glance, but they simply hesitated to use their magic just to illuminate the way.

Indeed, if you continue to use magic, magic will always continue to be consumed. But with the lowest magic, it's easy to manipulate and maintain power, not enough to worry about consumption if you just get the minimum lights you need.

No way, he's a wizard enough to be a knight of the royal castle, but he can't even do simple manipulations.

"Now, when the time comes to use it, let us hope"

Melissa extinguishes the light and fire spheres.

You said you didn't need our help, so you don't have to bother preparing a light source for them.

The crystals around us are enough for our own sight, which we are accustomed to the labyrinth.

"You're all new to exploring the labyrinth, aren't you?"

"Yeah, but?

"Then I suggest you touch this first"

I tell him to stop the knights who were about to advance to the back of the labyrinth and look at the pale light emitting crystals about three metres in size next to the entrance.

"This is something called a metastatic crystal that can travel in an instant to metastatic crystals in other strata. However, you can only transfer next to a metastatic crystal that you have touched once, so make sure everyone touches it when you move the hierarchy."

"Right."

Prince Randolph touches without alarming traps and such.

It tells me how Prince Randolph trusted me that something I was wondering got on my face.

"Your work is my escort. You can't possibly imitate me like I'm in danger. Adventurers are the kind of guys who do anything to get paid, but I don't trust them to imitate things from themselves that make them unpaid."

I see. It's a royal way of convincing.

The knights then touch the metastatic crystals even as they look disgusted.

"Well, we don't need this kind of transfer tool."

"Then walk back when you've reached the lowest basement ten floors alone. We and His Highness are moving here just to be safe."

"... let's go"

The knights start walking in the back this time.

The labyrinth of Wang Du was the same structure as Cave Field, but from the entrance the road continued straight to the left.

The footsteps of the knights echo in the quiet cave.

I hope you're okay.

Ira squeaks boringly as she sees things like that.

"As I said earlier, I don't mind abandoning the knights who came along on their own. Our job is to take Prince Randolph to the bottom."

"Would you protect the knight, if possible?"

I heard my words. Prince Randolph interrupts.

The prince's position would be that he wants to avoid knight wear and tear.

But I'm not going to carry unnecessary baggage.

"Your Highness... if you say knights are so important, it's not too late now, so let me turn back. Just so we're clear, it's nothing but footprints."

"He said we were on foot! When did you get stuck!?

One of the knights roughs his voice.

If I'm going to be specific, I'm currently trapped in a progression.

I don't even make an effort to turn off my footsteps while wearing loud sounding armor, even though I'm in a cavernous sound prone place.

As a labyrinth lord, I just think I'm licking it off.

And a vandalized voice.

"Goblin approaching"

If you hear something like that, a demon lurking in the labyrinth will attack you.

"Don't you dare!

The knight was controlling it with his hands to keep us out of front.

You don't have to tell me. We're not gonna get our hands on it.

"Prepare all personnel"

Four knights pull out their swords.

From across the road, three goblins approached me as I swayed the stick.

"Attack initiated."

Double-cut the approaching goblin body with a sword swung down from the top.

Goblin's body collapses to the left and right, and his organs are scattered.

All three of them followed a similar end.

"What do you say?

I laugh and applaud as I turn around and ask with a doya face.

But we had the worst rating.

"You can't. My arms seem to be there, but I'm also attacking miscellaneous fish opponents like Goblin with all my might. If you keep doing that, you won't have the strength to finish."

Ira is right.

If Goblin is your opponent, you can break your neck and defeat him more efficiently by pounding your heart. It is inefficient to hang it from the top of your head to the bottom of your crotch and cut it off.

Let me give you some advice because it's not sneaky to just abandon it.

"If you're attacking an opponent like Goblin with all your might, it won't last."

"An adventurer like you may not understand, but a knight should attack with all due respect from any opponent"

If you're a person, that might be fine, but they're goblins that even kids can hunt. If a knight gives his goblin opponent all he can, it's just a massacre.

"Okay, we're moving on at this rate."

Begin to proceed with the decree of the captain-like figure among the four.

No, 'cause if you go on like that.

"Your Highness. Are they really trustworthy people?

"You can trust me in the sense that strength will keep the existence of the labyrinth a secret anyway."

Is that true?

"They are Kingsguard knights. Kingsguard knights are basically prevented from enlisting unless they are noble. Only the second and third sons, who are most noble, cannot succeed to the throne. But I understand the importance of knowing the secrets of royalty because you are noble. If, when the existence of the Labyrinth is spoken out of their mouths, they also threaten to capture them for treason."

"Wow..."

Such a voice leaked by accident.

If tried for national treason, the crime extends to the entire aristocracy, even if it was the sin of a relative who is not planning to succeed to the title.

They will not imitate their parents as annoying because they are aristocrats who care about their patterns.

"It's just that the Kingsguard's job is to escort royalty within the royal castle. I'm trained, I have experience in interpersonal fights, but I've hardly ever fought demons, so don't remain anxious about strength."

"Demon Appearance"

Also a goblin.

Besides, he's defeated it with an all-out attack.

I don't even know if you're a butt.
