He Didn’t Want to Be the Center of Attention, Hence, after Defeating the Demon Lord, He Became Guild Master

Without moving the clear feathers, the fairy that was floating in the air was staring at us - but eventually, moving the feathers came flying in front of me.

Looking closer, it was made to mimic an elf, with long ears and pointed tips just like Verlaine when she was wearing a white elf.

But if it wasn't my fault, it looked like a master somewhere. It also looks like you made your master look like a child.

"I give warning to those who give blood. At the same time, if you wish, bring the Son of man to the bottom. With my power, I can transfer to several places scattered throughout this labyrinth."

(Are you sure... you can do it? If we keep going, it will take at least 18 days to reach 100 floors. If it is not necessary, we should defeat the middle class)

After sealing the snake, no matter how deep the earth is, leaving an unknown monster in this labyrinth just below the King's City will leave a risk later.

If you defeat the snake, all the monsters that the snake called may disappear, but there is a possibility that it will not - just like in other labyrinths, there is no denying that monsters spring up regardless of the snake.

"I told you it was a place scattered in the Labyrinth... but could you tell me what principle it is?"

Cody asks questions. The fairy sat on my shoulder and said, resting her feathers.

"The kingdom's human-made transition is only connected to 50 layers. Ravaged by Labyrinth Beasts, most of them disappeared. However, there is a" spiritual pulse "in this labyrinth. An altar is built where the power of the spiritual pulse is concentrated. Monsters don't touch the altar. Because the altar has the power of a snake."

"Isn't it because you're under the control of the Snake? I wonder if this labyrinth monster is made of snakes."

"Not everything. Only some of the monsters in the Labyrinth were summoned by snakes."

The one that seems to correspond to part of it is the monster Dragon Kimira, which has the characteristics of a snake tail and does not occur naturally on the ground.

Why was Dragon Kimira even more present? It is also believed that the snake tried to move to completely eliminate the Royal Army.

If the first floor diversion had been destroyed, we would have lost sight of breaking into this labyrinth. It could have ended without knowing anything until the King's City sank.

(I don't know if Rowe wanted to borrow our help... He is also paying debts from the past kingdom.)

But that has nothing to do with Miralka. Though sympathetic, it will not overshadow the assessment.

"On the seventh floor, we are finding an altar. How far can you dive from there?

"You won't know that unless I touch the spiritual pulse."

"If that spiritual vein is the source of the power of the 'snake', can the snake hinder our metastasis...? Using the power of the enemy seems to be risky...."

Following me, Miralka asks the fairy. The fairy flew to Miralka with little time to answer.

Spiritual veins were created by those who created the serpent. Snakes can only take advantage of it. You can pull power, but you're not under control. It was not the will of the snake that the power of the spirit dwelt in his son. "

Hearing that, Shelley seemed somewhat relieved. When approaching the Battle of the Snake, she was not manipulated by her enemies.

"... I want to help you a little bit. I don't want to feel sorry anymore."

"Sherry will be fine. Never hurry, Dee. Listen carefully and do your part. [M] That way, it'll work."

"Exactly. With Dick, we can't go wrong."

"Are there any religions coming along...? I'm just a dexterity. Don't tell me it's going to work, it's not going to work."

It is not good to expect too much, and even if it is natural to respond, the weight of the shoulder load remains unchanged.

But when Cody walked in with his clear face, he put his hand on my shoulder and said what he thought. This shows that when she was dressed as a knight, she earned her height at the bottom of her feet - still long among women.

"You said I was your piece. [M] I'm trying to be that way, so I want you to use it with confidence."

"I think I'm going to take it out now... I think I might be mistaken... uhh!

What I did made a frantic noise. Everyone is staring at us with a red face as to how Cody misunderstood what he said about my token.

"A token... is something I might say about horses."

"Ah... is that so? Dick, Cody...."

"Hippocampus is a word often used to honor strong knights. I want to be Master's pawn too... should I train my hips to be nominated?"

"I've made a terrible mistake, but I have no intention of doing so. Hey, Cody."

Cody laughs without answering. This occasional mystery seems to be one of the reasons for Cody's popularity with noble women.

"The manager can say a good thing about a whole hippocampus. Once we reach that realm, we may be able to say that our party is finally complete."

"... then everyone else is mine... well..."

"Oh, if you can win, I don't mind if I treat you like a token. It depends on Dick's attitude."

"Already, Dick taught me. When I got caught by that slime, I realized I couldn't do it without Dick."

I wonder if this is what happens to my party when Miralka's attitude gets softer. And Shelley, the new face, won't hide her full trust in me.

"... Sherry, as the same Alliance Master, will you sometimes tighten me up?"

"Hmm... that's... I'm good at whipping, but I can't hold Dick down..."

"Dee-kun, it's time for the fairy to wait...?

"You can do whatever you want with the blood you give. It's interesting because I haven't seen a child in a long time."

Fairies say indifferently without expression. It seemed a little surprising to me that I had the feeling that it was interesting.

I didn't want you to answer me, but I ask the fairy what it's been like all along.

"Can I ask you one question? Um... what, the magic letters for summoning you were in the Kingdom's soldiers' journal. Have you ever been involved with the Royal Soldiers before?

"... their children were besieged by a flock of goblins without my advice. When someone visited me again, I thought they would call me if I was qualified. I was asleep until then. It was an eternal sleep."

Fairies could not gauge what feelings they had towards humans, but now they finally understand.

I felt sad and lonely that the people I was involved with were dying. Otherwise, they wouldn't have advised the garrison or guided us.

When the fairy finished speaking, he saw his master a little further away. I couldn't read the emotions in those eyes until I knew what they were.

◆ ◇ ◆

Seven levels - There are no more giant sandworms like the one we fought, but adventurers descending from the six levels are fighting individuals of A rank. It won't be easy to take down, but the monks and wizards are safe in the back, so we can take some damage and take it down safely.

"Dick, I've been advised a lot, but don't you have to go?

"From what I've seen, I'm not strong enough. You'll be able to make the decision to run when it's too dangerous, and you'll be fine. The Associate Guild Master of the Yellow Bull Pavilion is here."

"Vice President? Oh, I see. I wonder if that guild is stronger than the sub-master."

The yellow bull pavilion's deputy master is a double swordsman, a mysterious woman dressed like a dancer. My husband, an Alliance Master, was injured and unable to leave the Alliance House due to his unsuccessful engagement and has taken over the role of Master instead.

I was a little older than Mr. Kasumi and I already have children, so I thought about having them stay on the ground in this case, but they joined the fight like this.

Quite a distance away, but she found me and raised her hand. Train your men in a shallow hierarchy and bring back the harvest you can earn by defeating the sandworms, which is the fruit of your adventure.

If monsters remain in this labyrinth after defeating the "Snake" and become known as the labyrinth city of Alvinas, more people will gather in King's City than ever before.

But I'm not so interested in this labyrinth itself. It may be interesting to explore, but that's not what I want to do most.

We leave exploration to other adventurers, and when enemies emerge that we cannot defeat, we will crush them. If only there were more monsters in the hierarchy to fly in the transition.

Coming to the altar, I turned to the party with the fairies on my shoulders.

"With the help of fairies, I will use the Spirit Pulse to descend as deep as possible. Think of more troublesome opponents than you've ever seen before. If I think it's bad, I also think about a temporary retreat. I don't know what they're going to do."

"Yes, I understand. When the enemy comes out, you don't have to be relentless from the start, do you?

"If there's one that reflects magic, it's me and Cody and Eileen. If you think you can crush it with magic, I'll give you instructions, so chant. Until then, everyone in the rear will never get in time and be alert to ranged attacks. I begged you."

Everyone nodded softly. When he saw that he was ready, the fairy jumped up and approached the magical formation written on the floor of the altar - and became a grain of light, integrated with the magical formation.

"To convert your body from a material body to a spiritual body and dive into a spiritual vein...."

Verlaine admired it. I also felt that the power of the fairy itself was not to be despised.

"In any land there is a way around the power of the Spirit, without which the earth dies. This labyrinth is also alive by the power of the spiritual pulse."

Immediately after Miralka said, the magic team glowed pale, the grains of light gathered and the fairies appeared again.

"The spiritual veins are mostly connected as they were. But it doesn't reach the deepest roots. The snake's family destroyed the altar so that they could not follow it to their own."

"... that's enough. If you can dive deep at once."

"... Now, let's begin the metastasis. Enter the magical formation, children of men."

Following the fairy's words, we all stand in a magical formation. Then the fairy's body began to shine again, filling its feet with light to respond to it.

◆ ◇ ◆

There was nothing to chant or chant - after the view was filled with light, the next moment, the landscape outside the altar changed.

"... what the hell is this...?

A large labyrinth where light plunges into the ground and forests and lakes exist.

Even though I knew it was such a place, it took me a long time to understand the meaning of the sight in front of me.

It was an incredible 'city'. We looked down from the middle floor of the tower in the center of the city, lined with stone buildings that people would have once lived in.

The middle floor is higher than any other building in King's Landing. The hierarchy we are in is circular, with stairs built along the outer circumference of the circle that allow us to move up and down.

(If you go up this tower, you'll be able to go up to the upper level... the building often remains intact. What kind of material is it made of? This city is... and it's very spacious)

I thought it was getting bigger gradually, but it was as big as the King's City.

I was wrong about the structure of the floating island. Human beings did not live on a single floor. There was a city of people in the depths, and there was a labyrinth on top of it. I don't know why I took such a structure, but there is no other way to think so.

The technology of the ancient people was far beyond my imagination. My friends are losing their words by watching the sight spread.

Nobody could imagine this hierarchy, even if they knew that the labyrinth would overshadow the established concept.

"... even though it's such a big city, I don't see any sign of people. There are only signs of monsters... what happened a thousand years ago?

Fairies don't answer. Do you know what we can teach you and what we don't? - I can't be sure now.

But the fairy seemed to show me the way. Behind that line of sight is a long corridor running over the city.

"It's like a corridor in the air... I can't help but be surprised, but it's incredibly technical."

"Hmm... it's too spacious for me to feel dizzy. You don't have to look for all of this, do you?

"It's like a castle down that corridor... from there..."

Yuma swallowed her words. I can see things like that giant castle and feel it's hard to describe.

"Master, do you want me to call a monster who can fly with my summoning spell? You can even get out of the air....."

"No, the boundary is strained. From what I've seen, it looks like they're cutting off our interference."

"If they try to attack, they'll transfer us somewhere else. If we don't get through that corridor, we can't cross the border... is that what this is all about?"

Yuma is a naturally held conjecture, and the master judges by the knowledge he possesses. In my eyes, they were the same opinion.

With our physical abilities, we don't need to attack the castle on the path. However, it would be troublesome if it were to be transferred by hand to the border.

"If you continue on an open path, it's what the enemy thinks it is. But all we have to do is go down that corridor."

"Better than everybody getting scattered."

"The deliberate opening of the path to the border means you think you can stop us there. I'll crush your confidence."

Eileen puts her manicure back on - a demon claw she uses to fight seriously.

Cody also called the sword spirit in advance and held the light sword in his hand. I use magic to increase attack, defense, and agility against everyone.

"Ah... it's been a long time, Dick. I can't believe you're strengthening it."

"My body is so light... ahh, it's been a long time, this feeling..."

Enhancement magic enables you to use the magic of the subject to enhance the abilities of individuals. Normally, I only consume a portion of my magic to generate Reinforcement effects for a limited time, but I thought it wouldn't be useful, so I modified the magic myself.

The more magic you have, the stronger your abilities will jump even between Yuma and Miralka, who don't engage in Melee Fighting. Shelley's original magic amount corresponds to the S rank, but the magic amount was increased by holding spirits, and she was able to pull out more power.

"... I'm so glad you put magic on Dick. Your magic is so warm."

"Hmm... what does it mean to become a habit? I feel happiness rather than fear when I'm in front of a battle. What will you do, Master?"

"Isn't that too sensitive...? Don't lose your temper."

Slap Verlaine on the shoulder with nothing. She then put her hand on the touched part and dyed her cheeks.

"Verlaine, if you're doing this, you should be careful because something is going to happen to you."

"Mm... is that so? Then let's be careful. I'm ready to be your master's shield, but I won't be rewarded if I don't survive."

"When you survive... no, you don't live or die. We're all going home alive."

To cut to the chase, we begin to move forward. The fairy said nothing and flew softly and somehow slipped into Miralka's chest.

"Nh... well, where are you going in? Why don't you fly with me?"

"I chose a place with lots of magic, a backer, and easy access."

"Well, that's... it's hard for me to get in, or there's nowhere to get in..."

"Alright, just keep quiet until Yuma... If you jump out, you'll be in trouble."

Only now can we think of fairies as envious.

We go down the stairs to the corridor floor.

A long corridor stretching over the city. There, when I looked down from the top, I couldn't see it being blocked by the roof, but I could see a few things like people.

Me, Cody, and Eileen step out into the corridor. At that moment, a shadow as small as a bean grain attacked us at a speed like lightning. At the same time as I perceived it, I lifted my restraint.

- "Release of Load and Restraint (Spirit Release Limit Burst)" -

Me, Cody, Eileen, one for each. The enemy was also divided between the vanguard and the rear, and the three vanguard men had swords, spears and axes.

A swordsman wearing golden shiny armor wearing a face that resembles a snake. The sword that is swinging appears to be divided into several parts, not an illusion of the eye - the opponent's equipped sword increases the amount of slashing effort.

-- "Enhanced Slash Count (Spirit Blade Attack Rise)" --

Shake out the sword enhanced by magic. One, two, three, one step, that much sword, but we shot each other twenty-four times in the meantime.

(Fast... and strong. But I can defeat them all...!

Axeman was so physically unusual that the cody he was dealing with looked small. A knocked down axe shreds the corridor floor, and Cody shoots down all the scattered stones with a light bullet, swinging the light sword and hitting the axeman's pocket. But incredibly, the light sword's strike only scraped the surface of the armor.

Eileen brilliantly interchanges all the pieces of speed without the remnants of the spear, knocking the soles of her palms into her pocket, putting in a series of shots with her iron claws, and finally blowing them up with a kick - her body is already wrapped in red magic with the deity of the whiskers.

Miralka has already begun to chant the magic of the Formation, and there are three knights of the avant-garde in the area of the Formation.

Destroy the opponent's armor and we will win at that point. But the archer and wizard in the enemy's rear came directly at the rear guard.

Master becomes the Central Guard, knocking down all enemy arrows fired to guide Miralka.

― ― Master's sword, "Fairy Sword". Enhanced by herself and my magic, the blade was sharp enough to slash the foe's arrow. The materials of the opponent's gear cannot be easily destroyed by our attacks.

(Fairies... I see. The sword is also made of materials made of floating islands... and the equipment of this enemy...)

Of the three avant-garde men, Eileen was the first to seize the opportunity. The spear of the enemy is cut out with a single sheet of paper, and sometimes the spear is grasped and pulled, and a further step is taken, making it a 'thunderbolt' that generates a special power.

"--Shura broke his palms!

No matter how strong the armor is, it penetrates the impact and destroys it from the inside. The trick that was also used against the slime was still common here - the spear who had been attacking without any fear stopped moving and stepped on it.

My opponent also lowered himself and threw himself out after the distance was opened to compete. I can only do this because I trust in the strength of my armor.

(It gathers all the springs of its body into a poke... just like it was created to shake a sword. But....!

As long as my enemies fight with their eyes, I can go one step further.

You thought that poke caught me. But there's no way I can handle it.

― ― Shura Shadow Sword Transfer Thousand Rifts ―

"--Ooooooo!

Turning around behind the swordsman who made a poke, I can catch a slash storm without letting go. How strong is this armor that cannot be destroyed?

But it was worth the wait. Even this unknown material, Miralka, let me analyze it by touching the enemy - and so on.

(Completed... "Limited Extinction Model 66, Particle Cutting Team")

The thought that Miralka triggers factional magic is conveyed. As my armor collapsed, my attacks continued, and then my enemies were no longer alone.

The swordsman of the snake mask was torn apart and blown away, and struck by one of the columns lined up at both ends of the corridor. Eileen didn't miss the opportunity to defeat the Spear Soldier - Cody cut through the last hit of the Axe and broke the Axeman's mask in a counter-attack.

--It was the young man's face that appeared. She has faded silver hair and has a skin tone close to white.

(... you've lived for a thousand years. No, it's not...)

Even though he was wounded, the enemy didn't bleed. This is just a human imitation - a doll (golem).

The people who once lived in this city. People who will have the same roots as their master. I'll shake off the ominous thoughts that come to mind. Master suffered a shallow wound when he fought me. It's no fool that she was immortal because she was a golem.

(Master, fly back! Enemy Summon Magic Range!

Me, Cody, Irene. Someone who summoned the enemy at their feet - perhaps a sandwich with a huge mouth - will appear.

There is no other way to avoid being eaten but to transfer them all. If it's a short-range transfer, I can transfer it at the same time - and so on.

I'll give Cody instructions before I counterattack the Axeman, who can still move. Cody answered immediately, and turned the sword spirit into an arrow to wear at the end of the earth.

― ― Light Sword Light Blade Ultra Long-Range Light Bullet Horizon Barrett ―

If the rear guard has the same gear, it is difficult to pierce the armor with a single blow. But it makes sense to disrupt the other person's behavior even for a moment.

"Crawl out of the darkness of the abyss and eat my enemies..."

Verlaine was responsible for the appearance of the sandworms. The three sandworms that are attacking us are caught up at the same time, and the "unfilled" like a black fog is eaten up.

― ― It was the ax soldier who had thrown away the axe as he ran through the gap. The enemy's choice, even if it was destroyed, turned out to be to shred our power.

"Kh...!

Cody threw his sword when he couldn't get out of the side, but it didn't get deep. The Master's strike didn't cut through, and the enemy would have judged it the most threatening - but it hit Miralka.

"― Phantom Snake Whip !

There's Sherry. Shortly after the whipped axeman stopped his feet, I concentrated countless slashes on one spot - the body of the armored axeman was unimaginably strong, but with some heavy shots, as I had imagined, a part of the body made of stone broke.

The enemy's backers are constantly disrupted by Cody's flares, preventing them from even looking out the gap. If that were the case, there would already have been no victory or defeat.

◆ ◇ ◆

As we approached, the enemy's three rear guards faced a battle while receiving flares of light. However, unlike the three avant-garde fighters, it was not difficult to defeat them without specializing in melee warfare.

But no matter how many times you fall or fall, you get up again and again. The only way to destroy it without skin - when I thought about it, it was Yuma who moved.

"... these people are just moving with their souls in their bodies. The magic of anchoring your soul has already been lost. My lost soul, O God....."

As Yuma said, there was no resistance from the enemy's body, and a soul and a vague light appeared. Looking at the six lights, Yuma looks towards the fairy.

"... Son of man, it's nothing but a soul. Unlike the soul of man, he has no will and is merely imprinted with orders."

"Still... even if it's just like a soul. I...."

Do you want to go where you left off after you fulfilled your role? As the fairy said, even if it was just made, she felt lost in erasing it and shed tears.

Too kind. And knowing that I was sweet to that kindness, I watched Yuma send her soul to God.

"... will we get to the promised land? Even if it's a created soul, don't get lost...."

"I'm sure we'll get there. I was with the six of you, so I hope you're with me."

"Miralka-san...."

They were our enemies, but they were working with each other.

The Snake might have created it to protect itself, but it used human tactics. It seemed to me to suggest one fact at the same time as it was a threat.

Snakes understand human emotions.

Spiritual veins were not dead, and the island was still alive. And yet the people who were supposed to have lived in this city left the island with a 'snake' - why?

Suppose the Snake was abandoned by the creators of this labyrinth.

(... the reason why snakes tried to destroy humans a thousand years ago...)

"... Master, it's time. Some of them are" snakes, "or something connected to them."

"You've finally come this far. Without Fairy's guidance, we might not have reached the 15th floor yet."

And there is still no certainty that this is the deepest. Even flying from that altar through the spiritual pulse is just a matter of believing in fairy words.

"... Dee, this kid doesn't lie. So it's okay."

"I see... I see. How can I doubt it now?"

The fairy answered nothing and returned to Miralka's chest again. She seemed a little uncomfortable, but she didn't complain.

The sky spreading over the city is changing color when we descend into this hierarchy. Sunset - The colour of the sky is reproduced in this underground city even as time changes.

We walked through the corridor, pushed through the gates of a large underground castle, and into it.
