The labyrinth 22 hierarchy is echoed in the labyrinth at short intervals between the two footsteps.

It's me and Hal's footsteps.

We didn't run into any demons, and we were doing everything we could.

Find the stairs on the 23rd floor and go down.

"The smell is coming up. Looks like Caro is still with Master Oregel."

"... it's likely that Caro and the others have reached the 24th level already."

"And, my lord, slightly, the smell of blood... presumably injured Master Sebastian here"

Speaking of Sebastians, are you an old gentleman at Deacon Warrior Level 49?

If I were a solo hunter, I'd still be fighting while protecting Oregel, about to get hurt.

But you're saying that Sebastian in the outline of that favor was injured, and Oregel didn't turn back?

That can't be a normal decision.

"Oregel is noble, isn't he? He said a lot of nobles can use healing magic, but he can't?

"I've never seen it used, and I've never heard it work"

"Right..."

When Sebastian in the line of favors is wounded, he can't take the time.

We need to find a staircase that leads up to 24 floors.

Twenty-four hierarchies are said to be five times wider than up to 23 hierarchies, and demons gush 20 times faster than normal, and they seem to be a system where more demons don't get more than that when they get to a certain number. It seems Hal heard something at the weapons store yesterday.

"Stairs, let's go... wait a minute!

I found a staircase leading to the 24th floor, but I'm stopping Hal.

There are signs of something from under the stairs.

Thanks to my hunter skills for detecting signs.

There's one sign, it's approaching under the stairs.

And when I came directly down the stairs, I now went away in the opposite direction.

It would be eighty-nine demons.

"Hal stay here, I'll sneak after that demon"

"My lord, so am I."

"It would be troublesome if Oregel found me. Hal, stay back at the inn. 'Cause I'll be fine."

When I said that, I pulled out the steel sword and went down the stairs.

With her powers, let alone this labyrinth with little demons, there is no first danger to her life.

He said the difficulty of this labyrinth was intermediate.

I stepped down to the 24th floor, explored the signs earlier and followed them.

There are three of them at the destination of the sign demon - there's a good chance Caro will be there.

According to the signs, there's a demon at the end of that bend.

Try putting your face out of the corner - it was a giant cow human being there.

It's a tea-haired cow with two legs and a splendid double angle. Besides, he even wears armor that looks like it's made of cowhide and has a huge axe.

Minotaur...... the name of the enemy Hal was saying.

I've heard that name before when I was in Japan.

It was a half-ball monster in Greek mythology, wasn't it?

And the story also remains that it was a vast labyrinth that trapped that Minotaur, who could never leave again.

I see, Minotaur is stuck in the labyrinth if you think so.

If you believe the Goddess's words, it would be normal to assume that Minotaur was originally in this world and that the story was passed on as a myth to ancient Europe. Minotaur, who appears in the Greek mythology of the Earth, is a monster whose body is human and only his head is a cow, but Minotaur over here is mostly a cow.

Well, is this one easier to fight?

Except it's a monster that's over two meters and fifty centimeters tall.

The corners are almost as critical as the ceiling.

Minotaur doesn't even notice how I look. There was a staircase leading to 25 levels along the way, but passing there to the back. Turn further along the T-shaped path.

I was just trying to sneak up on him, too, and another minotaur came from the front. It seems true that the numbers are high.

Once again I saw that minotaur took the T-shaped road in the same direction that the minotaur had turned earlier, and I ran out, and there I saw - the heavy traffic in minotaur.

What's going on?

I heard him yell when I thought so.

"Here we go again! Sebastian, knock it down!

Apparently, Sebastan is fighting.

I don't know if there's anyone but the three of us because we have too many minotaurs, but at least Oregel and Sebastan are safe.

And the fact that the demons are attracted seems to make Caro safe too.

"Dear Olegel, it's time for me to limit myself!

Sebastan makes a weak noise. Looks like we need to help quickly.

"Let's still kill that slave! That way Minotaur won't come any further!

…………!?

Sebastian, are you telling me to kill Caro?

Sure, then the demons won't come any further, but what a selfish bunch of them.

"Hey, I'm here to help!

That's what I screamed, pulled my sword out of my sheath,

"Slash!"

and screams, releasing a vacuum wave of sword triumphs. But... Stiff!

Slash was mutilated to a few dozen centimeters in the belly of Minotaur, but has not led to fatal injuries.

One Minotaur, with a large wound on his flank, approached him with an axe, considering this one his enemy.

Then I will change my profession to that of "unemployed, swordsman, apprentice swordsman, fighter, hunter" specializing in physical attacks.

My physical attack is about three times that of a Level 20 swordsman right now, and if this is an enemy that won't rival me, this isn't an intermediate level labyrinth anymore.

Minotaur lifted the axe slightly above his head - to near the ceiling - and shook it down.

But obviously that speed is slow. The narrow labyrinth is a disadvantage to Minotaurs.

My sword was faster than Minotaur's axe, and I tore that belly apart.

Now it was the fatal wound, and Minotaur collapsed from his knee, and his appearance turned into smoke.

All that remained were demon stones and bull horns, and chunks of meat.

... That's a bowl of beef tonight.

"I just fucking knocked him down! I'll help you in a minute, so just wait!

"Oh, I don't know who, but it's daunting! You gotta help me!

He looks great.

It makes me want to wait until Oregel is killed by Minotaur, but if that happens, the two of us will kill Caro first.

"Oh, wait, I'll be done in a minute!

That's what I screamed and ran off to the rest of Minotaur.
