Episode 13: Attack the Demon King's Labyrinth-2

"Well, here we are at last at the end of the first tier. I'm gonna open the door now, but you can't go in there. Okay?"

Basement 4th floor. The row of Oulu, which continued its search smoothly without great harm, followed in front of a well-made door. Expanded on their own by the Kobolts every day, the structure of the first and second tiers is now completely ungrasped by Oulu himself, but only the demons positioned here can tell. Oul nodded heavily.

Confirm that, Faro opens the door. There was nothing strange about it in the door, it was a large room. Inside are swords and armor rolling.

"Demons, don't they look like they're here? Actually, this is a room full of slime."

As Faro waved his short knife toward the open door, he made a grunt noise and part of the slime rolled off. Its slime, colourless and transparent, twitches and crawls through the ground to the door, eventually integrating with the original slime.

"Gelatinus cube, a slime of transparent cubes. I can cut a sword like this because of its shape, but it goes right back to normal. You see the door over there, right?

Faro's fingertips, on the wall opposite the room, had a door similar to the one in front of him.

"That's the door to the second tier. You have to burn this cube down that far or swim inside with a defensive membrane to open it."

Either way, this is all the giant. It's impossible to burn everything down with witchcraft, and we just have to do something about it. Of course, that's how Oulu designed it and ordered Spinner to make it. Oulu was also impressed with the transparency so much that he could see the door opposite the huge room.

Then I'll burn it.

Oul marks and begins to cast a spell. Behind it, Wikia gently touched his body. You can barely accumulate magic in your shapes. So if Oul were to use magic with this body, he needed to put aside the women who had the magic in them.

The reserves are in the order of Lil, Wikia, Shall, and Naja, and the amount for a few of the top magicians is excellent if they all add up.

The magic that Oulu has planted and the magic that they originally carry together is like the contents of fat and stomach. There are limits to what food you can pack into your stomach, but it quickly nourishes you. The fat can accumulate far beyond the contents of the stomach, but it cannot be used of its own free will.

"'Burn'"

When Oul completed the spell, the flame reached the back door as it stretched like a spear and drilled a hole in the cube.

"Hurry up! I'll be right back!

Faro ran as he took the pick out of his hip holder. When you quickly reach the door with the lumpiness that a small body deserves, you stick a pick in its keyhole and squirt around properly.

While doing so, the holes in the cube were gradually starting to fill. The wound is not healing. They don't get bigger unless they feed on something, but they're in the habit of trying to maintain a square even as they get smaller overall.

"It's open!

Kachin, and a noise opens the door. The line went to the end of the door to slip in. Make sure everyone leaves behind the door, and Faro closes the door once and for all. I heard a cock again and the door keys closed automatically.

"Phew... this is the second tier. On my way home, it's easy because the other door isn't locked. And the door's definitely closed. There was a fool who opened it up with a beak before, and it was a big deal."

"Big deal?

I see, can you increase the number of victims only if it is locked when you open it from inside the room? When Oul asked with that in mind, Faro nodded.

"Some of the cubes pop up in the labyrinth, eating tons of goblins and getting huge. I burned it down with a total adventurer, but it was really, really hard."

Fine, Faro took out something like wax stone and began to draw circles on the ground. When you quickly draw a pattern on its edge and remove the glass bottle from the backpack, bring a drop of liquid in it into the circle. Then, the magical circle shines and becomes a junction that leans nothing from its surroundings.

"This is what they call a 'camp', an excellent thing to remember this formation, write in this wax stone, and say that a drop of holy water makes for an easy junction. He's a magician and sells a set of 10 silver coins. Let's take a break here."

So Faro lowers his back inside the 'camp'. Sitting to imitate it, Oul stared at it with a shine. Faro has no witchcraft qualities, nor does she use her own magic. They use the magic that is overflowing in the dungeons to build defensive boundaries.

Oul was impressed with the idea of the adventurers.

"From this hierarchy, be careful because your enemies will be stronger. Goblin's an oak, but the assholes aren't coming out. The second tier is divided into an outline and an outline, with people like Lizardman and Hugs in the outline. Warcraft like Wyvern, Halpuia, and Griffon emerge in the outline. Both are powerful enemies, so don't get distracted."

The area Faro calls the outline is the 'grazing area' prepared by Oul for the flying Warcraft. There are several large holes directly in the second tier from the ground, from which the warcraft that can fly through the sky enter the labyrinth. We should have had a couple of big rooms for them.

"It's just not all that bad. There are quite a few 'friendly' demons in this hierarchy."

"You think it's friendly?

Unexpectedly, Oul asked the parrot back.

"Yeah. Especially Lizardman and Centaur. That makes sense. Even if there are, you have to stimulate them, often sparing them the battle. With any luck, you can also ask for spells and information depending on the negotiation. Alcohol and food are particularly delightful."

To Faro's explanation, Oul struck his inner tongue. The demons that speak are relatively obedient to Oulu, but many give it to adventurers for that matter? or maybe this is something we have no choice but to curse each and every subordinate.

"That said, don't be alarmed because the vast majority will be hostile. Some demons pretend to be friendly and set up deceptions. I don't want to get in if I can because the Warcraft of the Outermost is strong, but it's a structure that I definitely have to go through as well in order to get down there, so it's tough."

"Can't we go directly to the lower levels with metastases?

Oul dared to ask, knowing the answer. Faro shakes his head to the side.

"No. No more than three layers can be transferred because there is a pair of metastatic junctions in the first place. Until the second tier, I can transfer... I wouldn't recommend it."

"Why?

'Cause every day, it's changing shape.

Faro replied in the end.

"Cobolts and dungeon reaches... like big potato bugs are reshaping the dungeons on their own. Thanks to you, the people who tried to get to a safe place with the transfer were thrown into the middle of the demon's nest, or when it was terrible, they moved into the stone and buried it intact and died, and so on. If you're going to move, it's just the way home."

"Is that a famous story?

As Oul asked, Faro shook his head to the side.

"I'm out in the company, though. There's no such thing as a 'kind' guy who goes out of his way to tell others. It's a common story that a party with quite a few arms shifted and never came back."

This was a delightful miscalculation. Even traps of a kind that, once known, would no longer be usable are effective in reducing the number of adventurers to some extent.

"... Now it's time to move on"

Faro rises as he slaps his bread and ass. Ouls that are moving their shapes have no drain on health, but they also have no recovery. Lil, who can use the magic of an oul in her fetus to recover, and Naja and the others, adventurers of the war, still don't seem to have a problem.

Oul nodded, erasing the junction and heading ahead.

"Outline from here. There are so many people flying in the sky, thank you."

Through the narrow passage, the ceiling opened at once. Looking up, I see a blue sky far above. Compared to other places, the air was clear and the bright sun was pouring down. It's one of the "vertical holes."

Faro spoke to the two magicians behind him as he stood his bow. Magic is more effective than a bow against enemies who dance freely in the sky.

"I may not be of much use here...... Shull, I asked for your defense"

"Yes."

Shull nods vigorously at Najah, who squeals with his sword on his shoulder. If it's Griffon or Feilong, she can fight back when she comes down to attack, but if she blows a fire or flies a poison needle and is attacked from the air like Kimyra or Manticore, she can only use a sword, she can't get her hands or feet out.

"... Quick, here we go"

When we all raised our faces to Wikia's quiet warning, three warcraft were swirling through the air as they rang gaggling along with the judgment and winged wings.

"Is that... Halpuia"

Arrow to bow, Faro groans. Halpuia is a kind of warcraft with a woman's face and bird wings. Not so strong but smart, he grabs the stone cleverly with his legs and throws it away.

Oul stretched his arms to the side to control Faro, who stood ready for battle.

"Wait.... that sounds' friendly 'thanks"

"Again?

To Oul's words, Faro was exaggerated and dismayed, pulling out his shoulder strength.

"It's you."

"Oh, really? Really? '

Hello, Ma-sama, Ma-sama.

Halpuia and the others greet Oulu with their mouths in words that all they hear is a cry to say goodbye to other things.

"These people are company, come down"

"'Yes'"

As Oul spoke in Halpuia, the three Halpuias stood down in front of Oul as they twirled around.

"Why are you here, Ma-sama?"

"Mao, are you hungry or have dinner? Mao Sama '

"Mao, why are you with Ningen?

Halpuia and the others who make a mouthful of noise can be awful. When Oulu took the food out of his back sac, he split it it into halpuias. Only while they're eating will they be quiet.

"I was surprised when I was even talking to Lizardman about Centaur, Cave Giant about mermaids and Hugs... what is it? You're actually a demon or something?

"Well, it's like that"

The vast majority of demons on the second tier are demons to whom Oulu has signed a direct contract. There is nothing hostile to Oulu, except the kind of warcraft that is almost near the beast. They had no battle-like fights, going as far as inside the second tier.

Harpuria and the others who eat food out of Oulu's hands like pigeons or something, just tightened their minds that it would be a battle with the warcraft of the outer contour. Faro was completely detoxified and frightened through surprise.

"Mao, Mao, it was delicious, thank you."

"Mao, Mao, Mao, Mei, Mei"

"Mao, mao, mao, come"

Halpuia and the others grab Oulu's clothes and pull.

"He's going to thank me for something. Wait here for a moment."

"Wait, he said..."

"This is their territory. No other demons come in. Get some rest."

"Oh, hey, hey!

Leaving the stunned Faroes, Oulu is caught on Halpuia's feet and flies through the air.

"Hey, that one..."

"I guess..."

"Nice... when I'm done exploring, so am I..."

Hisohiso and Naja turn their voices and grip the wand harder as Wikia pulls the temples. Shull clasped his fingers, mojimoji and his thick crotch together.

"Uh... I'm just going to check on your husband."

So said Lil's arms, wings, spreading his wings, the three adventurer daughters bound in exquisite collaboration.

"You told me to wait"

"You can't run away."

"If I go to you, it'll be extra long."

"Let go, let me go!

"(a) It's this way I want you to let me!

Beneath the blue sky, Shull's cry echoed.
