When the Iris started fighting.

We were in a hurry to the center of the island. I don't believe it's going to be that easy for the Iris to do, but you better finish this errand early and head to the rescue.

Elmer and Dia are moving around with me and Ira to make haste.

A black pig finds us and sticks us in.

That demon is touring the island. A being that is producing demons - Nicholas' will is not intervening, only embedded in his habit of hitting upon the prey he finds when he moves around a certain place.

They still see us as prey and attack us.

All the adventurers I've found so far are still attacking me with instinct, even if I've ever let them get away with it. There is no such thing as the option of not hitting us.

But hate and we're not prey.

If you only look at a pig for a moment, you see the front with the destination.

Demons come in.

But Noel knocks me from the side and wipes me out.

I had asked Noel to fight so that he could be attacked from any direction.

"Awesome..."

Elmer shrugged holding it.

Previously, the adventurers who came to the 'island' had no choice but to flee against the demons of temper. Noel, who could be powerless after just one blow at such a demon, was enough to admire it from Elmer.

"For Noel, it's just compatible."

Demons with the absolute power of divinity.

But he was vulnerable to equally divine opponents.

That's how you get attacked three times. Apparently, the enemy did not understand the importance of what lies at the heart of the 'island' or was only given minimal vigilance as to whether it was envisaged that it would be raided.

Either way, I don't even understand that what lies ahead is the most important thing.

Running through the woods, I suddenly go out to an open place. Despite the fact that trees have so far been regularly-lined forests, from there onwards there are no trees and it is an open place.

And the most eye-catching is the pedestal in the center.

The ground is laid with stone-like objects, making only the area around the pedestal a place that feels artificial power unlike previous natural sights.

Take the Elmer you held down to the ground and move on.

One step, no particular change, although I tried to take it.

"If I knew what was on the pedestal, I'd know what this place meant."

A stone-like sphere is placed on the pedestal.

Do [Labyrinth Magic: Appraisal] when you find something you can't handle. I was able to think of immediate use because I had already encountered an object that could be used within the Island.

I use magic when I'm in my sight.

"I know what this is because I can see the results of the appraisal."

"But not what we know?

Ira and Noel know the same thing.

But I was tilting my neck at the very difference.

"What the hell is this?

Elmer and Dia were at a loss.

At first glance, it only looks like a sphere made of stone. But we can tell by using [Appraisal]. This sphere has been fossilized by the loss of power of objects that were originally as clear as glass spheres.

"This is the labyrinth nucleus."

"This is it!?

Elmer also possessed minimal knowledge of the labyrinth because of its proximity.

Most of all, there is as little knowledge known to the general public as there is information given to the labyrinth owner. Information about the labyrinth nucleus is also known as "one of the treasures".

The adventurers who saw this labyrinth nucleus also never actually saw the labyrinth nucleus, and could not notice it because they could not make a special force work.

"Is there a labyrinth here?

Elmer looking around.

I'm looking for the entrance to the labyrinth, but I don't see anything like it anywhere.

That, too, should be it.

"This is the labyrinth."

"Is this the place?

Elmer's gaze is directed toward the cobblestone.

"No, this place is like a remnant of a place to keep the labyrinth nucleus at rest."

A place like the lowest level of the labyrinth.

That's where the heart of the island lies.

"Then..."

Elmer's gaze is pointed far away.

Dia is also breathtaking knowing who she is where we thought she was holy.

"This' island 'itself is a labyrinth"

To be precise, I let the island, which was originally in this place, have the function of a labyrinth - that's who the 'island' is.

[Labyrinth Magic: Appraisal] could be used for the demons that were on the "Island" because it was created by the power of the Labyrinth, and it was not possible to use it against the plants on the "Island" because it was only maintaining the environment with the power of the Labyrinth, but was not created with the power of the Labyrinth.

"Is this really the labyrinth?

"It's not like I was listening to you"

We had both heard about the labyrinth.

A place to lure adventurers with treasures and demons and eat those who have broken in.

It basically looks like a normal island for something with fiercely poisonous demons and plants that would suffer if they mishandled it.

"Right. The power of this labyrinth is mostly used for a certain purpose, so it doesn't look like a normal island."

If we test the labyrinth nucleus, we can see what power is currently being used for.

"The purpose is twofold." Maintaining the Island's Environment "and" God's Seal. "

The heart of the 'island' - there was a god sealed all the way underground in this place. It takes time to know what kind of god is sealed. but it is not a busy god because it is a god that uses cumbersome means to seal things up.

It has a pretty strong seal. Still, it's not like we don't have the means to unseal it. Even this time it was supposed to generate a debacle because it was interfered with by a labyrinth that was being sealed by the power of the 'key'.

That is why those who sealed for fear of such a thing needed to hide the seal itself out of physical reach.

"The sealed man covered the entire 'island' with huge defensive walls to keep it from outside influences. That's when I sank the island to the bottom of the sea."

I can tell from the fact that there is a labyrinth nucleus, but this' island 'was floating in the sea in the true sense, and the force needed to float was supplied by the labyrinth.

I guess it used to be the same island as a normal island, but the only part that is underwater and invisible is out of the way, beyond the need to sink into the sea floor.

"He said this' island 'suddenly surfaced a few weeks ago. But it can't come naturally up. There is some reason to float. Or someone needs to put their hands on it."

In terms of results, the reason it surfaced was the latter.

"The idiot who tried to get the power of God that was sealed interfered with the seal and weakened it. As a result, I couldn't keep sinking under the sea."

The 'island' chose to surf, unable to continue sinking.

It will use its power to keep emerging, but it is still less necessary to maintain the necessary junction to preserve the environment even under the sea.

That's - that's why 'Island' suddenly appeared.

Labyrinth nucleus that has become like stone.

This was self-defense to keep no one from interfering. Even if someone touches you in this state, you won't be a labyrinth lord.

All you can do is read the information in [appraisal], like me at best, and interfere with some of the features.

The investigation was thought to be difficult to navigate, but it was resolved by discovering a labyrinth nucleus that was keeping track of all the events.

"What are you going to do now?

What I was asked to do was investigate the 'island'.

If possible, I want you to do something about the island.

Nor was the Alliance Master serious about the latter. If it was really possible, the giant sea demon crusaded us too. I want us to do something about it, it was a word that contained those aspirations.

In fact, if we... it's hard to do something about the 'island' unless you're a labyrinth like us.

- All right, let's sink.

"Sink...... are you serious?

"Oh. It is a shame to sink the 'island' into the bottom of the sea again, which remains precious as it was at the time thanks to hundreds of years of existence on the seabed covered with special junctions. But I'm more afraid of the risk of leaving God sealed than that. Let's make this place safer than profit."
