Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?
S28 Ellow Great Labyrinth Escape
After encountering the remnants of the nightmare, the itinerary went surprisingly well after that.
It seems that the freshly evolved Grounddragon was preying on other demons to go around, leaving little demons in the main passage.
Because of that, I fought fewer fights and never ran into a big man.
Maybe that's not just the influence of the dragon.
Remains of nightmares.
Because of that presence, the demons must have escaped or been eliminated, too.
Mr. Basgas's mouth count has decreased since then.
I didn't say anything extra, I was stretching my nerves.
I'll say what I need right, but I no longer laugh as happily as I did before.
The figure is like a warrior going to battlefield.
Inspired by how Mr. Busgus was doing, there was less conversation between us.
That became more pronounced as the exit approached.
The nervousness of being in a dangerous labyrinth and the tension that you will soon be out of this labyrinth and on the real battlefield.
They mixed together and everyone's face gradually became more rugged.
"Well, if you get this far, the exit's right over there."
Probably the last fold of the camp, Mr. Basgas cut it out that way.
About the exit, but there's only one way out.
"So you mean to use that way out?
"Don't be."
"Again, is it a dangerous place?
"Oh."
Mr. Basgas nods heavily.
"If the way out is safe in the first place, it's up to more people to use it, isn't it? The lack of it only means that it is either unknown, dangerous and unusable"
Mr. Busgas retrieves the map.
"Look, this is where I am now."
Where Mr. Bus Gus points his finger.
It was already just off the exit there.
When I recognize clearly where I am now, I get the feeling that I'm finally here.
"And here's the way out we have to break through."
Where Mr. Busgas points.
There, it was a big space.
"A vertical hole. There are several things in the Great Labyrinth that connect the upper and lower levels. And this vertical hole is also connected to the ground. Climb up here and you'll get out on the ground."
Vertical hole.
A huge hole that supposedly connects the upper level to the lower level, which is said to be an unprecedented danger zone.
Most of the adventurers who went down there said they didn't come back.
But I'm not going down this time.
Climb the other way.
Mr. Bus Gus says it's dangerous.
There are dangerous reasons.
"What kind of danger is there in the vertical hole?
"Oh. We have to get through the danger zone before the vertical hole first. That's the place."
The location of the map indicated by Mr. Basgas had a pockingly large space in front of the vertical hole.
Ellow, it's Ferrect's nest.
"Ellow Ferrect?"
"It's a worm-shaped demon with wasps in his legs. Every single one of them is weak, but he's going to use paralytic state anomalies after a lot of them anyway. My legs are fast, so if I get caught, at the end of the day, I'm paralyzed and gathered with Ujauja."
"Ugh."
You imagined the sight, Katia leaking a small groan.
"The only way to deal with it is to extensively destroy it once and for all."
"I see."
Certainly dangerous if normal.
But this party will be fine.
Anyway, most of the members here can use the high-powered, widespread extermination magic.
Me, Katia, Doctor, Anna, if we activate the magic on each of these four, we should be able to cover a considerable range.
If you let him get away with it, Mr. Heilins' defense of the iron wall will also have Mr. Basgas' backup.
There won't be anything you shouldn't do.
"First, that's the first door."
"First, does that mean you still have something?
Second gate, Findgoat's nest.
We wait for Mr. Busgus's next word.
"Findgoat is a demon that lives in addition to the Elroe Great Labyrinth, but the guy who lives in the Elroe Great Labyrinth builds a nest in a vertical hole and is based there. Somehow, most vertical holes have enough Findgoat nests. Findgoat is an insect-shaped demon flying in the sky, with poison needles. The degree of danger per car is assumed to be D, but is usually led by evolutionary individuals to form platoons. That's why they're attacking us. To get to the exit, we have to climb the vertical wall while we stop them from raiding."
The Elroe Great Labyrinth didn't seem to get us out easily.
"Hii, no, no, no, no!
Screams leak out of Katia's mouth.
I haven't been that good at bugs and stuff since my last life, but I don't think I've been extra good at it since I got here.
Well, I don't know how you feel. But I don't.
Seeing this sight will cause disgust even if the bugs are not particularly good.
Before I saw it, there was a huge swarm of bugs.
It is a monster of worms that resemble the Gezi of the original world.
It folds all over his sight.
You won't have a choice if you scream.
As originally planned, we were going to unleash a wide range of magic in order to wipe out a bunch of demons.
Although.
"Hino! Murimuri Murimuri!"
Katya is freaking out and shooting magic all over her.
With one magic after another, the number of gezi-shaped demons is reduced.
"Um, isn't it dangerous to fire or something in a cave?
"Probably fine. The magic fire in this world doesn't burn oxygen to produce carbon dioxide."
"Huh? Really?
"Yeah. I didn't look into it in detail either, but I mean it's having the phenomenon of fire, or it seems so vague. It seems like carbon dioxide is also generated when the magic arm is immature, but I'm not sure what the detailed conditions are. Katia's arm wouldn't be producing carbon dioxide, and I don't think she's worried."
"That's strange"
"It's strange. It's a mystery how fire is generated without carbon burning in the first place, and I'm not sure how carbon dioxide is produced when my arms are immature. It doesn't seem like it's the same as burning hydrogen, does it? Well, if I start saying that, I'll be talking about what magic is in the first place. I'm very unconvinced that I'm from a world of science, but I guess you have to think it's something like that."
While slamming such a waste, Katia burned down a large group of demons by herself.
Look down.
There was a bottom invisible darkness poking open his mouth.
Look up.
There was a slight light of day that plunged in, and countless shadows flew between them.
A bee.
The figure looks terribly like the bees of the original world.
However, its size is not comparable.
Nearly twice my length.
There are enormous demons flying around.
Catia, who hates insects, looks blue again, but her energy to make noise is greatly diminished because of the outburst just now.
Happy or unhappy, Katia just looked at the swarm of bees without the energy to ramble.
"Well, this is where our arms look."
"Right."
Me and Mr. Heilins are ahead of us.
Run in the air.
Skills in space manoeuvre make it run in the air.
Space manoeuvre skills are handy, but difficult to acquire for that matter.
Only me and Mr. Heilins can fight using space manoeuvres.
Katia also has skills in space manoeuvre, but has been drained considerably by an earlier magic rambling, so this time it became a rear group.
The operation is simple.
It uses space activation to intercept demons that come under attack, and other members climb through walls in that gap.
Climbing the wall is a tough one, and it's pretty hard for me and Mr. Heilins to keep activating space manoeuvres in the meantime.
It's not as easy an operation as I say.
Anna's the one I'm worried about, but I want to believe that Mr. Busgus is with me, so long as there's nothing wrong with him.
A few bees flew this way quickly.
It's pretty big when you look nearby.
Six bees.
I feel strong power from one of them.
Apparently, the individual is the leader.
My sword cleaves the leader's bee.
I just wielded it gently with the intention of doing a small hand check, but that allowed me to knock it down lightly.
Apparently, every single one of them is no big deal.
But it's troublesome when more than two people can call at the same time.
Me and Mr. Heilins try to cover each other up and make sure we get one bee at a time.
I had just finished the last one and the next herd was arriving.
"You don't even have time to rest."
"Right."
Reduce the number before approaching with holy light magic.
But apparently, the swarm of bees has genuinely recognized this one as their enemy, with massive bees pushing at once.
Reducing the number with extensive magic doesn't seem to work too well with too many original numbers.
Intercept with magic and sword, but some of them fall out back.
That's what the teacher's wind magic shot down.
"Never mind the back! Because I would magically float for a short time too!
With teacher support, me and Mr. Heilins focus on bee extermination.
Mechanically swarms of bees that come under one attack after another.
When it was getting harder and harder to maintain space manoeuvre, I finally saw the end.
Exit.
Mr. Busgas climbs up first, pulling Anna's hand and pulling it up.
Next, Katia saw the teacher, and then Mr. Heilins headed for the exit, and I also unleashed my last extensive magic toward the impending bee, jumping into the exit.
For the first time in days, the light of the day pops in.
It was already evening and the sky was stained with cedar.
I don't have time to be delayed in my emotions and stay away from the exit.
If you're here, the bees may come after you again, or there may be an ambush of the Empire.
I can't be alarmed, although I can't see the Imperial Soldier at the moment.
"There's my aside on this side, too. Let's go there today."
I shall take Mr Busgas's suggestion.
Thus we succeeded in getting out of a long labyrinth life.
