- 37th floor, basement, Alistair Labyrinth.

"What is this place..."

I can't help but say that in front of the spreading water in front of me.

It looks like there's only water in this hierarchy.

That's not right. I have scaffolding at my feet properly, and I can see tall trees far away. But just enough to get your face slightly out of the water. Everything but the tree has been submerged. It has submerged even the metastatic crystals that would otherwise be next to the inlet.

"Eh, not like the information I heard..."

Sonia, who was in charge of gathering information, is stunned.

Even when I heard about it, there were no demons at all on the 37th basement floor, and they heard it was a hierarchy that was liberating like a resort.

It's never been a submerged hierarchy.

Information Different Reality.

The cause lies with the other's labyrinth lord.

"Hierarchy enough to submerge most of the objects in the hierarchy. How much magic do you consume?"

"What more do you do than that?

"What are we going to do..."

In front of me, the ocean was just spreading.

We were also eliminating things from the wilderness field and losing things that would mark us.

But the submerged ocean is more than a wilderness field.

"Wow!

As Iris walked to explore, he was falling into the water because of the loss of scaffolding.

Fortunately, if I turned back immediately, I could go back to where I could stand, so no problem.

But now, as I see it, we walk a little deeper.

Not very much, but not the kind of place where you can explore decently.

"[Future Observations]"

Marie uses her skills to predict the future.

However, that skill is a skill that can accurately portray the future based on the information gathered so far.

Naturally, there is no real power in situations where the resort is not even submerged.

"I'm sorry."

There is no point in failing in a situation like this.

"This situation. What do you think we should do?

"First, is there always an exit?

"That's for sure"

For the purposes of the Labyrinth, the magic collected is sent to the lowest level.

In order to do this, we must constantly activate the Transition Magic Regiment.

There is definitely an exit.

"But in this situation, it's somewhere in the water."

"That's not a problem either. What you need to be aware of when you install the Transfer Magic Formation is that you put things on top of the Magic Formation and the Magic Formation will no longer function correctly. Not a problem if you're underwater to some extent."

Hide the Transition Magic Formation.

There is no more troublesome foothold.

But it's not hidden by placing a rock on top just because it's underwater.

I can find it if I want to.

The problem is that I have no idea where it is.

"Would you refer to it if it was a sight I saw?

"Fine, but didn't you see it?

No, I could see the future.

However, you can say that's a totally unhelpful future.

In the future as seen in [Future Observation], we were able to find a metastatic magic formation about 500 meters straight from the entrance. At that time, right next door was a palm tree.

"I see."

I was able to narrow down my candidacy somewhat from the future Marie saw.

There are a total of eight trees about 500 meters from where we're starting.

There is an exit near one of them.

"Where do you think we should go?

Predicting the future, Marie shakes her head sideways.

I couldn't find any basis for looking at the other members.

It is the role of the leader to show the guiding principles of the party at times like this.

"Let's just move in the direction of the sun"

Swim 500 meters somehow.

We'll be there in ten minutes thanks to the absence of dangerous fish in the water.

Explore the area with your hands on a large tree trunk. It's tough because it becomes an underwater exploration, but it's definitely in a visible place.

Yeah, the exit's not close.

"Looks like another tree."

Marie is laughing bitterly when she's swimming this far.

I can't help it either. I'm draining my strength just to get here.

Above all, I no longer know where I am.

"Where's the entrance?

Metastatic crystals usually found next to the inlet mark the inlet.

However, the landmark metastatic crystals have also been submerged.

In this situation, we do not even know where it is 500 meters from the entrance. I don't know which tree I checked in advance.

"What do you want to do?

"... I just didn't want to use this"

But I was in a situation where I couldn't speak of luxury.

In this state of floating in water, you can't rest without the danger of exploring. You can't be in this hierarchy forever.

Remove the magic tool (magic item) from the toolbox (item box).

"Will you use it?

"It's better than swimming and looking for an exit you don't know where it is for hours. Using this will make you know a lot about it, but it's not a situation you can care about."

A sphere of crystal with a needle is provided on a pedestal with one side 30 cm.

Now I'm pointing north because it's not working. Looks like he was walking south if the compass was working correctly. Inside the labyrinth is a compressed subspace, but I confirm in my labyrinth that an orientation exists.

"Subject: Transition magic formation leading to the 38th basement"

A needle inside the crystal changes direction and tells us the distance.

"It's an amazing magic tool, as always."

"Right. This is the one who got it first after I attacked the labyrinth."

I heard the condition that if I became a labyrinth lord, I could be an emperor.

But just because you fulfilled the conditions for becoming an emperor doesn't mean you'll be a stone untill you rule afterwards.

Find those who stand in my way, those who are neglected, one by one using the power of the compass, and gather evidence with the power of the labyrinth.

It was an easy task.

"All right, let's go. According to the Compass of Heaven, there's a transfer magic formation about 960 meters north."

Heavenly compass - It has the function of specifying the object you want to look for, which tells you the direction of the subject and the distance to the subject.

The great thing about this heavenly compass is that it also responds to ambiguous designations.

It's not just the position of the 'Transition Magic Formation' like this one.

It also responds to an abstract designation such as' Being able to break the Imperial Army in a small number 'as it did during the war.

As long as we have this, we won't get lost.

But there can't be any disadvantage in such an all-purpose tool.

"Are you all right?

Leesia supports me where I fluttered and nearly drowned.

The use of heavenly compasses will consume a great deal of magic in an instant. Because it consumes so much magic that it becomes dizzy even when it is enhanced by becoming a labyrinth owner, it cannot be tolerated by ordinary people.

"I'm fine. Let's get ahead of it."

I used my time despite the hierarchy where the entrance and exit positions were not so far apart.

Swim to the exit.

…… Please hurry. There's some way you can see the exit. '

"What do you mean?

I get an urgent call from Katrea, who is leaving a message at the bottom of the labyrinth.

'I don't know why. But we're going straight for the shortest distance so we know where the exit is in the wilderness field from earlier. We are currently sending demons to stop...'

Hear Cattleya's voice and you'll see that the effect is not fragrant either.

It's not a shallow relationship that I don't even know about.

"How do you know where the exit is over there?

"It would mean that there were magic tools, or skills, like our compass over there. If you're a mess, you're gonna lose."

I can't care less about magic consumption.

Besides, I've secretly come to possess the "Compass of Heaven" because of circumstances, but I'm pretty sure I've found out that I possess more than once I showed it to you. You should use guns to get there from here.
