Lesson 3: Thoughts of the Labyrinth Lord of the Gardis Empire

A young man with gray hair dressed in a blue blue blue coat like the deep sea.

He was breaking into the Emperor's tent with his hands in his coat pocket. I can't go wrong at the moment when this is possible, but I can assure you that we are so close.

This is the labyrinth lord of the Gardis Empire.

"Well, that's a lot of stealth."

A dagger is poked at the young man's neck.

"Did you really think it was just us?

It was Sylvia who poked the dagger.

He was our escort for a long time now as well as with the signs completely erased. The aim was to catch those targeting Rio by minimizing the number of escorts. I was in charge of the escort beside me because it was a problem in Sylvia and the others, who were women to convince the Kingsguard knights.

It still came into the tent after us... should be.

I act as an escort because no one noticed that.

Meanwhile, the young man with the dagger poked at him was flat.

"Are you a relative of the Alistair Labyrinth? Of course I understand as much as I have to be alert to my family. It's the same main thing, of course."

A young man with a smile.

Sylvia's face then distorts in agony.

"Ku......!

Soon there was a thread tangled in Sylvia's arm.

A yarn so tough that even the status of a family member cannot be cut off. I can't even move Pickle because of the entanglement.

"Oh. You can't let a woman speak like that."

Looking at the corner of the tent, a woman twisted and braided her blonde hair stood in her hand with a bright red fan with white hair.

He wears a dress that makes it difficult to move to the ball. Too conspicuously dressed yet unnoticed by any of us...... I can't believe I was in the tent without even being detected by Sylvia in particular.

"Stop it, Onet."

"Are you sure?

"Oh. I'm not here to fight today."

"Yes, sir."

Stop the restraint called Onet by the word of the Labyrinth Lord.

The thread disappeared from Sylvia's arm. But the other guy is a labyrinth. You can't let your guard down. Not only me, but Rio as well, still reaches for the sword.

"I wasn't just going to tell Onet what I said earlier, I was going to tell you guys."

The Labyrinth Lord turns his open hand to us.

Shortly after, everyone's weapons were rolling on the ground.

"Huh..."

This can't happen.

I know if I'm going to drop a sword out of my sheath from my hand. But now the sword was placed on the belt of his hips while it was placed on the sheath. There is no way that only a sword can fall even though the belt is intact.

Moreover, the same phenomenon is happening to everyone, including Onet.

Not dropping weapons is about the labyrinth lord of the Gardis Empire, who did not possess them from the beginning.

"This is one of my skills [disarm (arm release)]. Like I said, I'm here to discuss it, so let's get rid of weapons."

You can cause a weapon to be lost from the opponent's hand [Disarm (Arm Drive Release)]. Its effect is not applicable to weapons or armor types. Well, it would be a horrible skill in a different way if it applied to clothing.

You can even fight with your bare hands without weapons. But the opponent is an unidentified labyrinth lord. You definitely own more than one special skill, like you do now, and you can't challenge a reckless battle.

"So, what are you talking about?

Rio knows that too.

It is at your own risk to challenge a reckless battle if your life is all you have. But the death of our Labyrinth Lord leads to the death of all our families.

I can't act cheap.

"How do you see what's happening in the Gardis Empire today?

"Earlier, as you affirmed, a demon who was in the labyrinth is storming out and popping out. A labyrinth lord can make a labyrinth-born demon hear orders."

"Exactly."

Labyrinth lord who says he is committing outrageous things but affirms them plainly.

"No way, cooperate with your purpose, I don't know what you're going to say"

"I don't mean to. Anyway, my purpose has already been achieved."

"What...?

The purpose has been achieved.

When it comes to what he did, he just let the demons out of the labyrinth. I was wondering what you were trying to gain by letting demons attack cities.

However, if nothing is intended, the doubt is dispelled.

"My aim is to lose the Gardis Empire. And it's already been accomplished"

"... apparently things are more serious than this one thinks"

I see what Rio wants to say.

The city, which was closest to the border, is already devastated. It has been confirmed that cities further nearby are in a similar state.

So where else...?

If you look at the entire Gardis Empire, the imperial capital wingle is in the heart of the north stop.

Ilkite, a labyrinth city just north of the Empire City.

I knew in advance that there were other cities like Ontaria, Kerdick and Legiana.

"It's not just the big cities. All cities and villages are subject to annihilation. There's no place left for people to live in the Gardis Empire anymore."

People's living areas have been taken over by demons.

"Can I do that?

People don't visit the labyrinth.

That means losing the means to gain new magic, which is only consumed by maintenance, and any time the power of the labyrinth is exhausted.

In that case, not only the labyrinth lord, but also the labyrinth family will fall.

"If our purpose can be achieved, it's trivial."

"... Huh!

Fine dust and unwavering eyes.

He means it.

"I agree."

When I look at Onet, she really seems to agree with me, too, and I can't feel lost or anything.

The figure is the very family who share destiny with the Lord.

"You've come all this way just to proclaim it?

It wasn't a hassle.

Labyrinth lord rising from the table.

I hadn't even looked away from him for a moment.

"Now, do you understand?

However, when he realized it, he disappeared from his sight and moved to the entrance of the tent behind him.

"One of the skills I gained from becoming a labyrinth owner [Free (Free)], a skill that allows me to move freely if I've ever been anywhere. I've been to this battlefield before, and I've been here before, when it wasn't used as a battlefield."

If not during the war, there are no tents or anything else, and the plains are spreading without any change of philosophy.

Sometimes I wonder about people who are just moving, but I don't imitate things that would hold them back.

If it's in that state, it's easy to walk here.

"There's only one thing I wanted to tell you. About the evacuees."

"You care about attacking people"

"I have trouble getting you wrong. What I wanted to destroy was the Gardis Empire itself, and I have no resentment whatsoever for the people who live there. It's not sneaky to take their lives at my own convenience."

"So you're keeping him alive"

Maybe he really thinks about people.

But it's depriving people of their means of subsistence. If we can't live, we'll have to end up in ruin.

"If we move across the border to that side, we promise not to do any harm."

"What's in it for you to do that?

"If you insist, you'll feel less guilty."

I have serious sympathy for the refugees.

That's why I didn't take the initiative to help, but I made contact with Rio in an attempt to prepare some helpful means.

"Well, the biggest reason is for you two to stop."

"I knew you had the means in the labyrinth to do something about this."

We, the same labyrinth lords, can do something about the labyrinth.

"You can say the purpose has been accomplished. But it's best to keep it that way. So it's hard to be disturbed. If you're going to get in the way, think and act because we're going to let you deal with it."

The Labyrinth Lord and Onet disappear.

Using mobile skills makes it easy for Onet to move around too.
