Underground floor. Four large rooms in a row. In each, a Level 100 demon massively pushes over. but defeated without peril due to the simultaneous shooting of the powerful skills that Easwind boasts. Shepherd, none.
Underground second floor. A monotonous maze, but many traps. One woman in a pit, crushed by a falling ceiling and two men sacrificed. The end of the fallen is reflected by a video crystal provided beside the stairs. They had the same bitterness of blame as Abel.
Third basement floor. [Bound Floor] and a combination of three "Bound Slimes". Spherical "well-bounced slimes" increased speed and attack thanks to the rebellion of [bounce floors] applied to ceilings and walls. Shepherd, two guard positions.
Underground four floors. A combination of a complex maze and a "Reaper Apprentice". If we are dealing with one (Reaper Apprentice) that penetrates the wall and tries to mow our necks, we will decide that it will be a war of attrition, and forcibly break through. That played its part, the shepherd stopped at two.
Fifth basement. The most massive trap. Chronic for less damage than expected, it involved five over-advanced students and the Great Hall, which accounted for the majority of the floor, fell. It is the pinnacle of foolishness to proceed without checking for traps. For those who survived, it would have been a good lesson.
Sixth basement. There are no walls on this floor, and a space of 500 meters square, just wide open. In the center of it are the debris on the submerged upper floor and the buried students. And there was a bunch of zombies flocking to it.
The trap on the upper floor was a fabric stone to seal strong vegetative movements and ensure zombification. Students hesitate to be one of them, pointing their vain eyes at this one. But I couldn't think of anything like this, so I left all the zombies from the beginning on fire. Again, flames work well for the undead.
Seventh basement. Flame and ice floors. There were no walls on this floor either, but instead, the floor was full of lava. Touch the demonic stone installed by the stairs and the road can be raised, but it is made of ice and melts and disappears after less than three minutes. I mean, before the ice path melts, I say run over to the other shore. I crossed one by one just in case, but I couldn't make it, or slipped my legs, and the three students fell into a boiling lava.
Eight floors underground. Bugs enough to dye the walls black. This floor, divided into ten subdivisions, was littered with worms, like hairs. Demons imitating flies and moths to oilworms, caterpillars, inexperienced larvae... sank from a faint female student into a swamp of worms.
And the ninth basement floor. Beast Forest. This floor was formed by dense trees, not brick walls. The material didn't just change. The forest air was so full of killing air that it could not be compared to previous floors.
That, too, should have lurked in darkness with fangs poking at us because it was such a horrible demon, the "Painted Black Wolf", that it also appeared so often in the hero Tan. Black beasts hunting us down with their rare ability to collaborate and their individual heights of combat. Students who are sure to be buried with one, another. There was only one means of escape, and in the end, by the time we broke through this floor, there were only five left.
"Ha, ha, ha... I, I, am alive...!
Current location, school labyrinth basement 10th floor. Camilla from Sausales is holding her hand on the door between BOSS and exhaling roughly. She is wheezing without even fixing her completely misaligned triangle hat or black edge glasses.
"You don't have enough workouts, Camilla. It's the idea of the first gardener."
Without leaning on anything, standing with your spine stretched is the velvet of the Sword Dancer. Is that the kind of place where you can move so much and have a cool face, like the Takemen kid? But the sweat on her forehead is a true representation of her fatigue.
"No, no, that's right. I thought I was gonna die this time too. Camilla did her best."
Valerie, second-in-command of Group S for two years, a "paladin," was wiping sweat down her forehead like a waterfall and putting her mouth on a water bottle. After all, the boy was the only one left. Valerie, who stayed until the end, and Abel, who fell first. Should we honor his excellence, or should we be flattered by the weakness of the Easwind man?
"Right. Well done, Camilla."
Naturally on this occasion is the grand nobleman of Easwind, the only daughter of the Ferdinand family. Francois from Le Bourgeon. Not only as a leader, but also as an excellent partisan, I see, there's nothing wrong with her being here.
Including me in their Grand Feria students, a total of five. This is the number of people left until the end. To be honest, it far exceeds my expectations.
The Easwins are famous for the field, but they are not good at local warfare. That's a tough fact. When you rely on strong skills, you don't get the finesse. So it would be about me and Francois, even the Easwins, talented enough to get here. That's what I thought.
But what do you say? Beyond the spicy labyrinth, there are still as many as four people left. Eastwind students are hard to understand.
"You've stayed here a lot. Honestly, I'm surprised."
I talk about doubts unexpectedly. It turns out that François and others make better moves than expected, even in labyrinth warfare. I also think it deserves praise. But I can't help it. It's better than asking, but it's too much of anything.
What the hell is going on with the Easwinders who were supposed to have pushed aside...
"Phew, thanks to the teacher."
"Doctor?"
Leon, do you mean teaching? No, he's not in charge of practical skills. Then......
"Yeah, I'm Dr. Sayama. The teacher has been teaching us about Eastern labyrinth tactics for six months. Without the teacher's teachings, we'd all be out by now."
"…… yes"
After all, that demon did it.
Intelligence sources told me someone had made a difference in Easwind's education. He said there are people teaching efficient skill teaching methods, knowledge of labyrinth warfare, similar to the Bartoloan formula.
I didn't know that was more of a demon than that. I didn't know it just because I heard the name, but already, I'm looking straight at that hair, that face, those eyes. I can't go wrong. That's the demon that showed up two years ago.
You demon. What are you up to, boosting Easwind's national power? You want me to take you into the heart of this country? Are you going to increase the sympathy within the nobility and avenge Bartolore, who was also pursued by stone? Or......
"Right, if it wasn't for the teacher's teachings, I'd be like Abel by now..."
"Good. Have a proper teacher's class, review it..."
"Teacher's teachings show true value only in distress."
The students, all of whom will be in key positions in the future, already seem to be taken in by the devil. Let your eyes shine and speak with Dr. Sayama, Dr. Sayama.
It's dangerous! He's definitely rooting for this country. And when it spreads all over the country... the devil will act as he thinks but does.
"You demon......!
"Huh? Mr. Dorothea, did you say something?
"………… no"
"Really? Well, finally, we're going in between BOSS!
"" "Ooh!
Yes, yet, we must not try to break the roots of the devil. We should refrain from making far-fetched remarks or acting now that we don't know how far we are under his influence.
Now we should concentrate on the crusade of the first school director. If we defeat that lunatic quickly and get back on the ground, we can talk to Zophy and Kaufman.
That's not all. Back on the ground, more can be done. We can also contact intelligence and have them look around the devil. We can also get the personnel together to capture the devil and make him confess his true purpose.
To that end, it is first and foremost an immediate battle. Abandoning clutter, switching consciousness, I followed François et al and stepped between the upper basement 10th floor BOSS.
Then…….
"Welcome, helpless lambs."
Paved cobblestones. A pine light hung on the wall. Bright red carpet, pulled as if splitting the floor in two. And beyond that......
"Welcome, poor butterflies."
A middle-aged man in a tuxedo was even hipping on the throne and rocking a glass of wine in one hand.
"Hmmm! Trebian! I didn't think you'd make it this far. I'm still immature."
The first school director to relate to us with plenty of room while enjoying the aroma of wine. No longer, the proud labyrinth has been broken through and there is only one thing left for you, but let's just relax... is there any way?
"Mr. First School Director. We have survived the trials you have imposed. So why don't you let the students who have fallen off? Even though it's over the video crystal, it's not sneaky to see."
François leaves without cowardice and hopes for the liberation of the imprisoned students. But the first school director just smiles without saying anything while sitting on the throne. Again, things are not right. In such cases…….
"[Isicle Lancer]!
"Mr. Dorothea!?
Must win first, only have an attack. Being put on the enemy's pace is synonymous with entrusting oneself to the enemy's ploy. You don't have to go out of your way to match your enemies. That's what I thought, I shot an ice spear at the first school director...
"Huh, that's sweet."
"... Huh!
Oh, my God, I grabbed [Isicle Lancer] with one hand and stopped it. What strength and motion vision!
'But thoughts are good. Let's just say I'm a little serious, too.'
That's what I said, the first school gardener to stand up laughing. I'm never supposed to be tall, but is it due to intimidation that you look oddly big?
'Okay, let's go, shall we? At least give me a minute. "
A middle-aged man slamming his big mouth with laughter.... No, maybe it's not a big language spectacular. That face is the face of those who were sure they could.
"Come!
Will you crush Valerie the defensive role first? Or are you going to disturb the rear guard? Just because we don't even have time to think, the first school gardener with sadistic light in his eyes has attacked us!
"[Force Edge]! This!"
"Guaaaaaaa......! Ba, stupid! You mean you can't win even in the third stage......!?
When the battle began, about thirty minutes later. The first director of the school was no longer a bug breath.
Whenever he was mortally injured, he went from a human form, to a golem-like giant, and to a lion-like figure, the first school gardener to undergo two transformations. I burned my hands to recover all my health each time, but this farce is apparently over. It's less than I thought.
Indeed, the physical abilities of the first school director were high. But your taste in battle was too crude. Otherwise, we should have been the ones who were falling. No matter how bad, does the first school director mean the creator?
'Ooh, it collapses... my body is collapsing...!
The body of the first school director is converted from the end to the particle of the magic vegetable, gradually, gradually becoming smaller.
- It's over.
Everyone thought so. Everyone was convinced of victory.
But... he hasn't given up yet.
"Oh, I'm not going down! I'm not going down......!
The first school gardener to reach the throne with a glance. Then the throne slides and something comes out from under the floor.
Is that -!?
"Dungeon Core!?
Camilla speaks out in amazement. The rainbow glowing crystal ball is certainly the dungeon core itself I've seen in the book.
It's the life of the labyrinth. It's the labyrinth itself. And... manipulated by Dungeon Creator.
"Huh! No way!
It's too late for François to rush out. By the time he touches Dungeon Core, he's already decided to win or lose.
'Yes! No way! I use all the magic vegetables in this labyrinth to elevate to the fourth stage! Ha-ha-ha! You can't give in to an educator or a student!
I never thought the first school director would give up so badly and hate losing personality. Totally misread. Perhaps he turns into an absolute being, as the saying goes. We can't take them down no matter how we scratch them -.
"Come on! Now is the time to evolve!
A dense magic vegetable flows into the first school director through Dungeon Core. His body swells ugly. And -.
"I'm the first school director! He who punishes the proud students! Come on, students! Do you want me to confess? Awwwwww!?
I was caught in an explosion.
"................................. Huh?
The blast, wrapped around Dungeon Core, scorched the entire body of the first school director black, spraying even the magic vegetables that were filling his body.
The first school director to kneel as he raised the smoke.
'Hey, what...!?
His whining is also our question. What the hell happened?
"Kukukuku......"
Eventually, by the time the aftermath of the explosion started ringing, I realized I was hearing laughter from nowhere. This... this voice!?
"Doctor!"
François shouts joy. Yes, this laugh belongs to him. It's the devil's mockery that emerged from the darkness in the corner of the room.
The devil grins brutally and walks over to the first school director who falls on his knees in a state of sudden self-loss.
"You did a great job limiting the level, monster house in the pit or something...... Huh?
"Ki, you! Where have you been...!?
"I knew you didn't see it. Too much focus on strengthening the labyrinth, and the surveillance system was cluttered."
Cutlets, a demon that sounds cuts and footsteps and slowly walks to the head of the first school garden. Definitely. Execution begins.
"I'm a scout, right? Hiding yourself and infiltrating through vents and gaps in vegetable transmission tubes is your hand's business. I got to this room as soon as I could, and I was waiting for you to come out with a dungeon core."
"Hii......!
The first school director to start trembling. He realized it too. your own future.
The devil is already in front of him.
"If you were cornered... I thought you from Dungeon Creator would stick to the Dungeon Core. But it was a pleasure. If Dungeon Core smashes, oh, you forgot you'd be helpless?
"Wow, my dungeon core......!
"Don't worry. You can't completely wipe it out with about a bomb. You'll play it after one night. But... about the time I had to punish you, I gave it to you."
Out of nowhere, Takahiro Sayama takes the whip out. The diabolical grin on its face adds depth...
"Yeah, hey, you took care of me the other day! This is a good opportunity! Put it together and I'll pay you back what I owe you! This Yumiel-style maneuver!
"Ahhh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?
And the execution began.
"Princess, how was your internship?
"Worst."
That's what I said, I fell into bed. Tired. Body and mind.
I had no idea you'd be reunited with the demon you heard was dead. Not to mention the worst.
"Again, was Eastwind's education a lesser degree"
"That's not true, Kaufman. Not only was that Ferdinand's daughter, but the other students also gained solid strength. If you look at them, you know the quality of education."
"Oh, my God, did I? So, what the hell is bothering the princess?
"It's..."
Let's get this straight to Kaufman. That demon is alive.
... No, you can't do that. If I corner him badly, I don't know what that demon will do. In the first place, I have no idea why he's wearing a teacher's skin on Easwind. This is not the time to move yet.
So now I'm falling for it. So I spit a lie.
"An unexpected incident occurred in the school labyrinth. So I just had a little bit of a bad feeling."
"Was it"
I'm sorry, Kaufman. Imitate to betray you, who are sworn allegiance to me. But sooner or later... in the not-so-distant future, I'll have you fully working.
To subdue that demon.
"Okay, I'm on this. Today's training needs to be summarized."
"Yes, thank you."
Kaufman is on his way to the Knights of Easwind. During the day, I hear that he is taking about thirty of his men for joint training with the knights of this country. As a result of the first attempt, the record becomes an important one that leads later. You mustn't hold him back forever.
That's what I thought, I let him down... but when I'm alone, it's still about that demon that comes to mind. I'm talking about the brunette demon who tortured the first school director.
Takahiro Sayama, who flushes electricity into the body of the first school director and even whips it...... He says he has already decided to win or lose, but it is exactly what the devil does.
There was no one to stop him. Conversely, his godchildren said, "That's good! Do more!", "Clear up the grudges of those who have sacrificed!" and held him in uniform...
Horrible. I am, horrible. The devil's deeds are horrible. The devil's brainwashing is horrible.
Didn't I fall into a trap? Haven't you been lured to the country where he put his roots up? Am I not a feather entangled in a spider's nest?
And I'm stuck in his hands, again...
Incontinence
Wouldn't I?
I'm terrified of it.
"…………………………………!!
Three years ago...... my body trembles in humiliation and shame when I remember when I first met the devil.
Of the Great Empire Bartolore, what would also be a third princess, gets too much urine of fear. It's so ugly there's no more.
He bothered to stay till the end and admire it. Maybe it's being shot by a video crystal. No, I meant that I didn't steal anything from the treasure trove. You can't have not taken it.
Incontinence footage of the Third Princess of Bartoloa...... the spill means my ruin.
But... but! I regret it, but I can't do anything now. If he moves poorly, he'll use the video crystal as a shield and get away with it.
For sure... yes, for sure, we have to create a situation where we can capture him.
"Wait, Takahiro Sayama......!
Still helpless now, I could only shove my wings in my face as I fell into bed and still tremble with uncontrollable shame......
