I doubted my ears at the words of Maki, who jumped in.

- Mass suicide in the labyrinth.

It's an act that didn't exist in the game.

But it is valid.

(Little, didn't you think enough)

The action of letting Maki and the others attack the village was not in the event of the game.

Irregular reactions are returned to irregular behavior.

Naturally.

If we were to be complete, should we have proceeded only to the extent that we did not stick out of the quest strategy?

No, if I hadn't gotten off the road somewhere anyway, I didn't want to be able to help Rifa.

"Soma?

Mami, who approached me, called me and finally returned to me.

Yeah, not if you're thinking about that right now!

"We're stopping it! Show me around!

No matter how evil they are, they are clean people in this world.

I don't even think I can convince you, but if I can do anything stupid about suicide, I want to stop you.

Besides...

"Wow, okay. Over here!

Now he runs through the labyrinth again, being led by Maki.

So Mitsuki came along beside him and whispered.

"... you have an idea what they're trying to revive, don't you?

"Oh. Probably, 'that's it'"

You wouldn't need a lot of sacrifices so far if it was about the normal demon resurrection, and it shouldn't be a game over just resurrection.

Besides, I feel a similarity to that place because of the name 'Sealed Labyrinth' in this place.

"Then you know what I mean?

The resurrection must absolutely be stopped. "

"Of course, I know"

Anyway, resurrection = game over.

It is no exaggeration to say that I am most aware of the danger.

Rather,

"But that's surprising. I thought Mitsuki would want to fight."

I thought Mitsuki was like, "Welcome back to life."

But in my words, Mitsuki made the cat ear say "terrible."

"You say things out of your heart.

My father has asked me a lot about the threat of 'Arre'.

We want to fight it personally, but we must avoid harming innocent people as a result of our failure to defeat it. "

"I see."

That sounds like a shark family mindset committed to protecting non-combatants.

I've never heard an innocent people say or actually be used.

Well, if you didn't do anything wrong but they killed you with just one of Battle Junkie's wagga moms, that's pretty much unfloated.

"Beyond that, you must be really careful."

"Huh? Me?

"Yes, you sometimes make a terrible mistake, so please refrain from reckless behavior.

… it would be useless to say something like that, but at least talk to me or Mr. Ringo in advance when you do something. "

Pretty discredited.

That's what Mr. Battlejunkie tells me, that's out-of-heart.

"I know.

Only this time, I'll weigh myself in too.

I'll talk to you before I do anything. "

"... please"

That's how Mayuki, who was leading the way, turns around and yells when an agreement is exchanged between me and Mitsuki.

"Already! What are you two talking about earlier!

It's time... "

"Huh!? Previous!"

"What?"

Mitsuki turns to Mitsuki's warning, but it was a moment late.

"Yikes!?

Maki's body, which is supposed to be a high level character, is jumped back lightly.

While checking horizontally that Mitsuki had taken it, I glanced forward at "the guy" who blew up Maki.

"... thank you for your hard work, Princess.

I thought if I let you go, you'd end up with someone who got in our way. "

A voice I remember hearing in the game.

I heard the description of the quest and many times before the game was over, the voice of the village chief of Saiga Village.

But the figure was no longer a person's.

"Devil..."

Two twisted horns on a black, gothic body.

Black wings when you're a bat, growing on your back.

- The devil who manipulates the wicked has revealed his true nature.

The first reaction was Maki recovering from the blown shock.

"Why are you here?! Everybody in the Knights. Huh?

To the words, the mayor of the village, who showed his true appearance, makes a laugh only at the mouth.

"Oh, are those mutton fish?

I think I'm rolling around there now.

If knights knew they were weak by then, they wouldn't have had to spend their hands and pawns in vain. "

"No way...!

Maki loses color in the devil's response,

"No, I didn't kill you.

I'm just disarming the 'pawns' who have only one left.

'Cause if I kill you, I'm gonna give you a crude sacrifice at the end of that one. "

The devil denied it.

However, the problem is more the 'last sacrifice' dialogue than that.

When I dared to look at the wall, at some point the number on the wall was' one '.

There were more than twenty villagers in that village.

Even if some of them were demons who could not sacrifice, the rest of the villagers alone would have been able to sacrifice seventeen.

(Not good...!

If this is what the quest says, then the rifa will be flown to the altar.

I still don't see any signs of that because the quest is making an irregular progression?

But that's not all that's weird.

(Was this guy that strong?

The demon in front of you.

I've fought in Saiga Village, but I'm the boss of the low level quest I'm working on.

To be honest, he wasn't the kind of opponent the Knights would lose.

Even though I was alarmed, it's also odd that Mayuki, who is supposed to boast an exceptional status, was blown away.

"You have the face that it doesn't fall to your heart.

I don't see how you could have known about this stone if you had seen through our plan. "

"The necklace was worn by Mr. Rifa..."

As Mitsuki snapped in the back, what the devil had in his hands was a bright red glowing pendant.

That was exactly the same curse gear that Rifa was wearing.

"Do you guys know what this stone is?

"It's... ore that can be picked in this labyrinth, isn't it?

"It's a shame. No, I'm really coming to a shame.

As for the fact that it only exists here, it captures the truth. "

To Mitsuki's reply, the devil laughs.

"You've already got a thin idea, haven't you?

This labyrinth is sealed with 'That One,' the only shard of God we worship. "

"Again, Evil God 'Diz Aster'"

To his words, Mitsuki snaps with a harsh voice.

(I knew it...)

That's all I can think of when it comes to being that just revived causes a forced game over.

Sure, the hidden dungeon, "Shards of the Evil God," which was behind "The Sealed Demon's Labyrinth," was as strong as a fool.

If that thing is unleashed and you can move around without any constraints, it's not an impossible story for the world to perish.

"Lady Diz Astor's shards here are not that big, but they were still heavily sealed.

Beyond the large door in the heart of the labyrinth.

That's 'Between Seals'.

There's a dis aster shard sealed over there. "

"Wasn't that the" altar of sacrifice "..."

Hear my crush and the devil answers.

"No, it's also the Altar of Sacrifice now.

Over the years, we reversed this obnoxious maze trick of 'gathering the power that abounds in the labyrinth to make it a force for the sealing of Master Diz Astor' and replaced it with a 'gathering the power that abounds in the labyrinth to make it a force for the resurrection of Master Diz Astor' trick. "

"You mean you diverted the setup for the seal to the setup for the resurrection..."

I don't know if that's a setup that's been around since the game days, or if it's a post-birth setup because this world has become a reality.

But when I heard that, I understood a little bit how the dead in this place could lead to the resurrection of the evil gods.

"However, in order to deliver power to Master Diz Astor, we really needed to touch the shards of Master Diz Astor directly once and create a path of power.

But the door in front of the "Altar of the Seal" was strong, and how could it not reach the location of Master Diz Astor's shards?

Our plan was frustrated once there. "

While listening to the devil, I wonder why this guy keeps talking for so long.

Is there any way?

You just have to be vigilant.

"But then we found it in this labyrinth.

Little pieces of Dear Diz Astor popped up at the time of sealing. "

"Small shards...? No way!!

Mitsuki seems to have understood what the devil said.

And I'm a little late to understand, too.

(Whoa, whoa! That's not good, man!

I realized I had made a hell of a mistake, and I turned blue.

Unexpectedly grip your left hand hard.

"Yeah, that's right.

What I found were three small shards the size of the nail earlier.

We embedded it in jewelry and processed it into 'necklaces'. "

Look around at us in a hurry as a delight, the devil speaks.

"That 'necklace with red jewels' has brought us wonderful benefits.

First of all, if a demon like me wears it, it will greatly increase his power in this space, full of the magic of Master Diz Astor.

That's enough to overwhelm the Knights. "

"So fuck you all!!

Maki screams.

Karakuri, the strength of the devil, was a red stone necklace and the temper of this labyrinth.

Indeed, with the village chief, I had only fought on the ground.

You mean if you fought in the labyrinth, it was stronger than that?

"And if you put that on a human, gradually the magic of Master Diz Astor will stain your body and become a quality sacrifice.

... right.

If you had worn that necklace for two years, it would have been a superb sacrifice. "

"Is that why you raised Rifa!!

Another mystery, I also see why this demon sticks Rifa to his last sacrifice.

He used to 'farm' Rifa as a sacrifice, wearing a necklace containing shards of the Evil God.

But the devil still laughs.

"And the last potency.

Lady Diz Astor's shards have the properties of trying to engage, even though they are not sealed with power.

They're trying to be a little bit of a big shard and make their own resurrection.

Specifically, smaller shards are attracted to larger shards and attempt to be absorbed.

Do you know what you can do when you make the most of its nature?

The answer is, I've seen it many times in my quest.

Red glowing necklace, and a rifa that disappears to the altar.

"For each person who wears it, to the location of the 'Evil God Shard', transfers…"

"That's right. Once used, small shards are disposable because they are absorbed by large shards.

Besides, it's a one-way street because there's no way back from "Between Seals," but thanks to that, we're ready to revive Master Diz Astor.

That's when I lost one of my 'pawns' and one of my little shards, but it would be a trivial sacrifice. "

"You...!

It exaggerates people into an attitude that they only consider a mere tool of disposability, but the devil doesn't move.

"... do you still not see why I can afford so much?

Sealing 'Between Seals' was troublesome, but once inside, it turns into a strong barrier above all.

No matter what is being done there, you will not be able to serve anyone. "

As soon as the devil got the necklace in his hand as he said,

"Shit!!

React like Mitsuki was played, trying to rush out to the devil.

"Stop it! If you do that...!

I was desperate to raise my voice too.

I'm probably the only one who knows exactly what happens if he uses a necklace.

That must be stopped at all costs.

However,

- It's too late.

Ruthlessly, the necklace glows.

"Come on, Rifa! The time has come to do your part!

Flying mites are also faster than I am desperately speaking up,

"That door can't be broken by anyone but that resurrected one!

- Ours, victory!!

The devil's necklace shines a disastrous light, and the devil disappears.

"- What?"

"Huh?"

- All of a sudden, at my super close range, the demon face of the village chief appeared after the transformation.

"Geez, geez, geez!!

It's pretty gross looking straight from nearby.

I dared to grab the rifa that showed up beside me and run away.

While I feel sorry for you, I hide behind Mitsuki.

- But it was the same for everyone else who was upset.

Rifa's in my arms,

"Oh, that? Hey, honey? Ringo, what about you...?

And he's rounding his eyes, and Mitsuki can't figure out what happened, and he's making cat ears peel.

And to the devil, a splendid view of the shattered red neckline, with no words.

But for a lot of advance information, Mitsuki and the devil quickly noticed.

I noticed, shit.

"No way...!

"No way!

They raised their voices and turned to me at the same time.

The devil is looking at this one with a stunned face like 'incredible', and Mitsuki, who should always be able to face it, is also looking at this one with a stunned look like 'what is this guy serious'.

Pressure of gaze until horrible.

"Yeah, yeah..."

Losing the pressure between the two of us, I put my head on deception.

"- I knew I brought this, I don't know if it was a good idea, I don't know"

That's what I said, in my left hand with a dry laugh.

When I broke up with the Mitsukis earlier, the bright red stone I had found from the top of the altar (...) was starting a creepy pulse.
