Kuro no Maou

corner of the forest zone on the second tier, the Great Plains (Evergreen). There is a small, round fountain, as laid out, on whose side a small fortress of stone is built.

At the beginning of the discovery of the Great Labyrinth, it was built as a base for a second tier attack, but the adventurers do not even know that it was abandoned a long time ago and now has a fort here.

Such an abandoned fort was the twist of the Bandits' Supernova (Lulusters).

"... it's so noisy"

Wow, and with a big yawn up, Lulu, the fairy girl who is the chief, woke up.

Even long-haired hair with bouncing creases is even rougher than sleeping.

"Good morning, lady."

It is the woman of the vice chief who greets me politely.

I call Lulu a lady and treat her like a maid, but her outfit is stubborn armor.

A beauty with long dark hair and brown skin wraps around heavy armor made from the crust of "Castle Fortress Sand Whale (Fortress Grahl)".

"Uh, Levi, is something wrong? Awesome telepathy makes me nervous."

"Yes, ma'am. I was wondering if it was because the Great Labyrinth went into a runaway state."

"Runaway, huh? What kind of idiot did that to you?"

"Many adventurers arrive as a result of the recent death of Adventure King Xanadu, who first reached the deepest depths of the Great Labyrinth and left a will to give all his estate to those who obtained the keys to the treasure trove -"

"Wait, what? Sole, I didn't hear that, Lulu. I didn't hear that."

"The lady was asleep a lot."

"Wake me up, you idiot!

It is an important part of Carla Mara.

More than that, no one imagined Xanadu would let the adventurer compete to give him his legacy, not his own.

"Is your daughter interested in Zanadu's legacy?

"I've never had enough money, but I'm sorry to bother you."

"Boulders are ladies. It's in a grand wagamama gesture."

I'm not making fun of you. Deputy Chief Levy thinks for real. The girl said she was cute without wagamama.

"Did you hear that will?

"Because it was broadcast on Vision. Perhaps to all Carla Mara."

"Hey, show me something"

Quickly I call, Levi makes his face suddenly approach him with a clever move just waiting.

The little lips of the girl who leaves Lulu's childhood behind, and the lustrous lips of Levi, an elderly beauty, burst into head on the brink of positive contact.

Alignment of foreheads activates the reading of memories by the fairy's telepathic abilities. Lulu saw the will broadcast that Levi remembers through his touched forehead.

"- I see, that jizzy, you're gonna do it one last time."

"Yeah, old or dead, I showed the will of an adventurer, something like that."

Lulu laughs contentedly at the final appearance shown by Adventure King Xanadu.

"Funny."

Lulu then literally flies out of the bed, leaves the bedroom and heads straight for the fort entrance.

The entrance, which will be the largest hall in this fort, has a vision that was installed from the beginning.

When Lulu showed up, the members of the crew, packed into the entrance and watching the offensive relay in Vision, immediately realized.

"Ah, Mr. Tsubaki! Good morning!

"Mr. Tsubaki, you're awake."

"I'm supposed to suck right now, but what about us?!

The more I miss listening to Xanadu's will broadcast, the more noisy the entrance becomes in Russia to the appearance of the leader Lulu, who slept well for over a day.

Anyway, the chief is asleep, so he hasn't given any orders in this situation. So much so that Levi issued perimeter alerts in preparation for the passing adventurers and other raids.

Fulfilling that, everyone in the group was wondering what Lulu would do when he heard about the heritage race.

"Listen, you guys! Xanadu's legacy is the mon of Lulu!

"Ohhhh!!

"Sasasu no Kusan!

"I definitely thought you'd say that!

Wah so cheerful, Lulu has his hands spread open and he is satisfied with the ale.

Fairy girl Lulu's, trust from the team is thick.

All the members of the bandits here are women. Originally an adventurer, a mercenary or a gangster. Their origins range from climbing a total of more than thirty people, such as mere merchants, slaves, and ordinary families.

But we all have one thing in common: we're losing our place in Carla Mara on the ground.

It was Lulu who picked them up when he lost everything and even tried to run out of life.

Lulu, a fairy, free-running, waggy-mama everywhere, helped because he wanted to. Even if you're not willing to help, you've often beaten them clean on your own because you've learned to be angry with those who cornered them.

No matter who they are. It would be the three biggest gangs, but it would be the Xanadu treasury.

Thanks to that, Carla Mara was also designated the highest prize neck, but it has nothing to do with the Lulu and the others who dive into the Great Labyrinth.

"From now on Lulu will take Levi to the treasure trove"

"What, are you going alone!?

"Mister. We are!

"You guys are leaving messages"

"Yep."

'Cause you guys are weak.

It is full of strength to engage in hyena acts such as prey grabbing in the third tier. Even during this time, they are all turned back in an instant if involved in a black masked ash.

Not very much, but I don't think we'll survive after the fourth tier.

"So wait for me. Watch Master Lulu take the keys away from Zizzi in Xanadu in the visions there, you guys!

"Wow, mister!

"You're going to be the new ruler of Carla Mara!

Against the backdrop of the crew thriving on energetic weather, Lulu leaves the fort naked, more like a ragged fairy.

And next to it, at some point, Deputy Chief Levy refrains.

"Ma'am, you're serious about your legacy."

"No, the legacy is here."

"Besides Zanadu's legacy, is there anything else?

"Lulu has been to the deepest part of the Great Labyrinth once before, but he couldn't reach it"

"The Adventurer Alliance is officially documented as a Complete Attack Achievement"

"The deepest part of it is the treasure trove. The other tokoro is just a dead end."

Most importantly, even at its end, it is the great hall protected by the boss monsters of the strength they deserve at the end of the fifth hierarchy, and you get a great treasure commensurate with defeating it.

Therefore, it is considered a Great Labyrinth attack...

"The treasure trove is a shrine. So nobody gets in there."

"Is it the Divine Realm?"

"Admitted by the Fairy Queen, even this Fairy Princess Lulu is not so easy to get into the realm of other gods - except now. Son of a bitch Zanadu, he opened his mouth."

"Now, you have to get there."

That's what I mean, and Lulu nods to Eagle Deep Friend, and Levi stares a lot.

"Now, lady, if that treasure trove is turned into a divine domain, which black god is its chief god?"

"I don't know, I don't know. But it's a golden sparkling, evil hobby realm... it's not a lowly god."

"Sure, though the fifth tier shines in gold"

"I felt clear when I dived that far. God here is scum. It stinks of cloudy desire."

"Sounds like a filthy evil god to me."

"Hmm, I'll take this opportunity to bring the Fairy Queen's protection to the deepest depths. And then this garbage town gets a little better."

"Lady, I didn't know you were so worried about a country called Carla Mara. It's splendid."

"No, not that far"

But, well, I don't care, Lulu decided to move on, even though Levi persevered to stroke his platinum blonde Sarah Sarah hair.

She has no fear. Even if the destination is the deepest part of the Great Labyrinth.

I have the protection of Fairy Queen Iris.

Because this great body in human form and the immense power of light is a testament to being a princess to succeed the next throne.

"... the second tier is a big deal, too."

The rampant state influence was also solid in the second tier, the Great Plains (Evergreen).

Seems like a good meadow has quite a swarm of monsters walking wide just to catch your eye.

When I visited before, a group of riders, as tangled by goblin riders, but now not by that time, are blasting the green earth.

Other monsters such as rhinos, deer and bisons form a fairly large herd.

Yeah, animal-type monsters are the typical species of meadows that live from the beginning, but the herd seemed to care a lot over the large ones, and there were intimidations and skirmishes going on there.

"Don't be a pain in the ass when you're badly involved."

It's an open place called Meadows, so if you get attacked from all directions, there's no escape. The first tier is still streetscaped, so there were many hiding places and escape routes.

"Death going with a meadow dash all at once?

"It's going to be a huge bet."

"I can't say it's safe to go through the woods."

This is a sign that Elder Trent is likely to normally emerge even in the woods.

If there's room for hiding, is there still a better chance in the woods... but we're not that specialized in covert operations?

"Ursula, show me the map"

"Yes."

At times like this, you shouldn't rush to make choices.

Let's think about it based on the situation. At least we should still have some room to think about it now.

The expanded map describes the entire second tier area.

Of course, terrain such as meadows, forests, mountains, etc. are also written about boss rooms and transfer facilities, and then farms.

What you should aim for is a boss room, an entrance, anywhere you can get down to the third tier. There will be boss monsters at all entrances, anyway.

"Dear Chrono,"

"Ursula, did you come up with anything?

"Yeah, somewhat of a detour here, but I think we should go down the road."

Unlike the first tier paved precisely with asphalt, if we want to carry supplies on the second tier, which is overflowing with nature, we need a path.

We have a farm here, so we have to take that crop to the ground. Or did you also have a farm because you succeeded in making your way?

Either way, with regard to this second tier, the paths that the people of Carlamara have pioneered over the years are strewn everywhere.

Among other things, connecting the transfer facility to a large farm is enough to be called a street, and adventurers and carriers have always used it a lot.

And based on years of experience and statistics, the streets are laid to sew through areas where monster emergencies are particularly low.

"Running wild doesn't make that much difference in monster habitat and range of action... it should be"

"Sure, you can't see animal monsters wandering around like zombies."

From here, I can't confirm the irregularities that are not supposed to be in the meadows. If you're rambling around disregarding the original habitat, there's gotta be a whole bunch of Trents out there somewhere.

"If you go along the streets, there are somewhat fewer monsters, it seems"

"I can't be sure, but it's the most likely idea to bet"

At least, it's a much better idea than sticking the shortest distance in a straight line.

"All right, then let's go along the street. If the monster was overflowing, it would be the shortest distance straight through the belly."

About five minutes until you get out on the nearest street, from there, about half an hour after you start going down the road.

- Ursula's guessing is a big win.

"I'm glad it's done to this extent."

In front of us, a group of hard-working goblin riders are down.

All this time, keep going down the road, only he and the others counted.

Apparently, there are quite a few monsters coming face to face down the street. If it went straight out onto the meadow, the monster would have arrived less than a minute later.

"Looks like we can move on without a problem with this."

And it's about the arrow tip I thought.

"Master Chrono!

"Have you noticed, Leki"

Heavy-duty countless footsteps. It's still far away, but we're approaching this one pretty fast.

It doesn't look like a goblin rider to me.

"Hurry up and move."

If a bunch of runaway monsters just happen to be coming this way, we can get through it if we move.

You don't have to do anything to detect the proximity, so it's not a wack that can afford so much distance, but it hasn't been found from the herd. I'm sure you'll be able to avoid it.

"Master Chrono, something's coming this way, Death!?

"This is obviously after us..."

The direction of the impending herd changed immediately as it chased us.

It's packing more and more distances, and it's probably time to hear footsteps even in Ursula.

There's nowhere to hide around here.

"Do we have to intercept?"

It's a monster with the ability to accurately detect this one, even if it's not a clear visual distance. Even with ruins like the first tier, we won't be able to escape pursuit.

There seems to be quite a few of them, but I can't help but get my eyes on them.

"" Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher) ""

If they've already captured this one, it's fine to emit "Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher)" and stand out.

The black wind emitted in "Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher)" is unsuitable to proceed without finding it, but it makes sense if you expand to explore the enemy.

Now if we can see the exact number and appearance of our enemies, we'll have some information.

Feeling ants in the black wind.

This feeling is more than just a monster.

"Oh, you mean..."

"What's up, Death?

"You figured something out?

"This is MPK."

Monster Player Killer, abbreviated MPK.

It is a form of PK behavior that deliberately attracts active monsters and pushes them against other players to kill them, such as nettles.

MPK is only a story in the game, but in this other world, where adventurous vocations exist in real life to explore dungeons, this is also a realistic story.

Even if you don't feel like it, it's a common example of a dungeon where other adventurers end up in a monster and bowl to the scene where they're running away, and you're lucky enough to be chased too.

And with clear malice, take the monster and make him attack the other adventurers. Even in that case, it's not a wack that never exists.

"I've never seen this before, but it's not weird if it's MPK or anything."

What I detected in Black Wind Exploration (Windsearcher) was a bunch of bison-shaped monsters and a single cavalry running at its head.

A person on a horse is running, blowing things like a horn.

Instead of being chased by the herd and calling for help, they are drawing the monster's attention with the tone of that horn.

Perhaps, on the contrary, you should also have the means to divert the monster's attention on the set.

When you approach your target, if you can take the monster's attention off yourself, you're a wack to hit only the herd perfectly.

By the way, he was able to grasp our movements because he was flying demon (savant) birds in the sky.

There are many wild birds and bird-shaped monsters flying in this hierarchy, so I wouldn't turn my attention if they hadn't attacked us, but only when I found out there was someone after us could I have noticed that spring as well.

"Mmm, I can't allow you to just get in the way, Death!

"A malicious and despicable act of a level that is disqualified as an adventurer in one shot. We should make death pay."

But I'm just here to interrupt, too, Sariel. If I can stop him, I'm going to do anything cowardly... because I'm not a wacko who can tolerate being trapped in despicable ways.

"Rest assured, it's easy to deal with if the spring breaks"

It's 'Grenade' that releases.

Towards the sky, release into the mountains.

The road is just surrounded by woods, and I don't see a bunch of MPK bastards and monsters that it shields and approaches.

But the black wind is holding his position, and he's already within reach of my demon bullet.

The practice of releasing demon bullets as far away as possible, as well as firing with ballistics that draw parabolas to cross the shield, does some. "Dang, now!" I didn't know the experience of playing with shelling one person was alive here.

"- Okay, you blew it."

The MPK bastard from the Corner Cavalry was caught in the blast range of the bottled 'Grenade' I fish for dozens of rounds, and it feels like the black wind has wiped it off beautifully.

The tone also stopped to draw attention, and then an explosion broke out in front of him, and the flock of bison monsters rushed to change direction of travel.

I safely went off the road.

"Don't do anything again. It's over, Death"

It's indigestion.

"If it's going to be easy to clean up, you've never been over it. We need to be more careful than that."

It is a race that bets Xanadu's legacy.

It is not the monsters of the Great Labyrinth that should be feared, but rather the adventurers who should be rivals.

I was going to know with my head, but when I was blatantly obstructed like this, I felt like I was going to make it.

From here, beyond the first tier, the elephant will also be played, and the corresponding powerful will come together.

If those guys are going to do everything in their power to interfere, it's a real pain in the ass.

We need to be more vigilant so we don't get our feet shrugged.
