- The 24th basement of the Imperial Labyrinth.

"Uh-huh... subtle"

He was roaring as he checked the results in the magma rapids on the 27th basement floor.

Thanks to the labyrinth tone, we were able to share the sight of Iris watching from the lowest level of the labyrinth, and we were able to see the attack in real time. My body had become defenseless, but I had few encounters with demons, so I was able to conduct surveillance beside my exploration.

Once confirmed, it will be an evaluation and reflection.

"Subtle, is it? I think we got quite a result, though?

Melissa running next door asks as she magically defeats the demon.

"Plus it's more challenging than when we tried. Weren't being drained of them enough to be an effect?

When we challenged, the level of demons that showed up was 40-60.

That demon that showed up this time was allowed to level up to 60-80.

But given the strength of the labyrinth lord and his family, he's not that much of a struggling demon.

It's the rapids that are really making it harder.

When I tried before, the flow of the river was mild and there was nothing to shake even if it was shaking under the influence of moving the boat.

This time, there was a wave in the river so that the boat could swing easily.

Besides, the demons are also giving instructions to aim for 'boats' rather than 'people on boats'.

I usually have to fight to protect myself on the boat, but Rio and the others had to fight to protect the boat.

That was increasing the difficulty.

But as far as I'm concerned, I'm unhappy with the end.

"I even prepared a Level 300 demon, and he took me down with a single blow. I was introduced to the hot giant because he was the perfect demon for a gatekeeper. I wanted them to stick around a little bit more and reveal their abilities."

Being drained was one of the purposes, but I wanted to know more about Rio's abilities.

Intelligence stores were also able to teach me what they were good at, but that's only what they reveal in appearance as adventurers. I wanted to know about the skills and characteristics gained from becoming a member of the Labyrinth family.

The Magma Rapid Stream's corner made me see the abilities that I didn't show at the top.

"How dare you bring together so many personally capable people?"

Turns out there were seven of them.

Each one has a proper role and does not appear to overlap.

"Looks like when we reached the basement 28th floor, we left, but what do we do now?

"Next on the volcano is a mine field with high and low disparities. I have a harder time finding the Transition Magic Formation as it is than I do poorly. If you want to hold back, the 37th basement is better suited."

"... what are you going to do now?

Melissa comes looking at me like I'm stunned.

Exactly what happened on the 27th basement earlier can't be dealt with unless you're a labyrinth lord or an associate.

Anyway, it's hard to even survive unless you're okay on the magma, someone who can do something about the magma.

Unfortunately, that's not the kind of danger the trap we've prepared for the 37th basement floor.

"Don't worry. As you know, the 37th basement is the resort area."

"I know..."

That's why I don't know the right reason to hold back.

The resort area is an area where no demons come out, where there is just warm sunshine, quiet sea and beaches. Safe because demons don't show up, so I go fishing a lot, too.

To be clear, it's the safest hierarchy in the labyrinth outside the lowest level.

"Are you ready over there?

"It's done. But this one is currently tired of concentrating on remodeling the 47th basement floor '

"... last night I found a store selling sweets that looked delicious so please forgive me"

'Okay. In the meantime, we'll be done by the day after tomorrow.'

From the 45th basement. The status quo ahead, no one has visited.

I did it in earnest because no matter how fancy I was doing the modification, it would not be considered a problem.

"Um... it's okay to talk, but the number of nearby demons is getting really high, so please crusade."

Sylvia, who runs the lead, had her focus on exploring.

It's me and Melissa's role to crusade the demons coming from the left and right roads every time we plunge into a divide.

Slash and throw away the rock Lizard that jumped on me.

On the front stands a rock golem.

Get out in front of Sylvia, hit the rock golem and destroy it.

"Now you're the fortieth demon in this hierarchy alone. You're using God's luck."

"I'm using it. This is all the demons that show up when you use them."

"When that happens, the only possibility is that we encounter this many demons, even if we are lucky, because of the massive presence of demons throughout this hierarchy. You've pissed me off."

Despite being accidental and diminishing, I encounter a number of demons that cannot be accomplished by chance.

Obviously, [labyrinth manipulation] has been used to induce, or newly created.

Nevertheless, it doesn't change what we do.

"Sylvia does everything she can to move on. Me and Sylvia will crusade over the demons that attack us. However, as I will definitely say when the amount of magic is getting scarce"

"Yes."

There is nothing more dangerous than continuing your quest without magic.

This is not our own labyrinth. The only way to get back to the city is to use metastatic crystals, so we have to think carefully about whether or not to continue our exploration.

"Let go!

"What are you thinking!?

When she returned from Alistair's labyrinth to the lowest level of the Imperial Labyrinth, Mr. Cattleya was strangled with wings on the button.

Mr. Cattleya's hand holds the necessary jewels to use [Labyrinth Operation].

I need you to calm down so I can hear what's going on.

Let the cold air wind blow.

"Cold......"

"Are you calm?

"Nanaka."

"Back."

I heard you got cold air and your head got cold. There was a loss of power from Mr. Cattleya's body.

"May I ask what you were doing?

"Yes...... that, I've placed a ton of demons on the 24th floor of the basement where they are. That's about 800 in number."

"What?"

I'm sorry for the button you answered on Mr. Cattleya's behalf, but I couldn't help but ask back.

There are usually only about a hundred in each tier in the mining field.

Although demonic objects, there is a suitable environment to operate in.

If you want to collect demons in the mining field hierarchy, you need to collect them from other mining field hierarchies.

Not enough 300 pieces were collected from other tiers from the 21st to 25th basements.

"What's wrong with the missing demons?

"I used the magic that the labyrinth had stored to create a new one."

Hearing the words made me want to hold my head.

The magic of the Labyrinth is absorbed from an intruder, the Adventurer.

As a matter of course, it cannot be wasted because it is finite. But even the labyrinth of the Empire cannot afford to be wasted because it consumes magic to maintain the ties of the Empire.

"Why did you do that... I don't even have to ask why"

"Yes, because Master Rio was in danger, an angry Cattleya called in many demons to get rid of them."

It was a dangerous place indeed.

defense, was so dangerous as to summon me as I needed to escort Mr. Cattleya rather than

I also know what it's like to be angry.

But it's a waste of war where you've called in tons of demons.

"I know how Mr. Cattleya feels. That's why I want you to calm down. Your actions now are like consuming the treasury for nothing. What do people do when they want to be queens?

"Yes, it is..."

I glanced at the treasure and was stunned.

"I can't believe Master Rio said he's in danger, but he can't stand by me... at least give me the strength to intercept him..."

"Are you ready to intercept?

Once again, we'll see what happens on the 24th floor of the basement, where there are a lot of demons.

All of a sudden, adventurers other than Mars have been ravaged by the massive demons that have emerged, but the top priority goal, Mars Party, is to slash and throw away the nearest demons as if they were nothing.

I'm not even stuck.

"It's just a waste of magic. Stop the operation."

"Yes......"

My eyes close with Tron when I stop pouring magic into the treasure.

I was forced to sleep by the magic of the button.

"It's also a troubling thing for Master Cattleya. Now that you're not one of your own, I want you to love yourself."

"I have no choice. As soon as we get to know Rio, it's something good about Mr. Cattleya, and it's something bad."

But all our families are saved by Rio and Mr. Cattleya.

I can do everything I can for those two.

"Undo the labyrinth that has become a mess for now"

"Please"

The button comes with its head down.

Only me and Mr. Cattleya can use [labyrinth manipulation] in our party.

So I have no choice but to clean it up in the circumstances in which Mr. Cattleya passed out.

I've never felt bad about that.

If it's to repay you at all, it's nothing like this.

"There is a hierarchy that we have prepared for real over there. That can't be the end of it."

Maybe we should think about something new over here, too.
