"Spina's work ah!?

"Probably for sure"

"What are you doing now, that girl..."

Lil sighed holding his forehead down with his hands. Betrayal, rather than being forced to stop Oulu, she immediately thinks. Shortly before she disappeared, she eagerly stopped Oulu from waging war on Raffanis.

"Stop Oulu's impotence, he's more impotent than that, isn't he?"

Speaking of which, it sounds like a spinner, but this is way too much, no matter how much.

"So what do you do?

"... I think I know the way. Start the invasion. The question is what to do with that slime..."

That would probably be an improved version of the demon-eating slime made by Spina before. It is medium difficult to prepare large quantities of water in an unreachable labyrinth. Before that, there is no certainty that they are as vulnerable to water as before.

"There's nothing to say about an invincible slime that won't do anything?

Oul shook his neck sideways at Lil, who anxiously said Spina could make something like that.

"I can't create that stuff in principle. No matter how balanced you are, if you try to eat something, that distortion will always make you vulnerable to something. That setting doesn't mean you're free to do it. There's got to be some choice."

Um, I thought about it, and Lil came up with a fu and stood up his finger.

"I mean, wouldn't it be quicker to ask Spina directly?

"You do the right thing again..."

Oul sighs, even though there's no way the opponent, who came in hostile and ambushed, could honestly talk. But I'm pretty sure it seems easier to do something about the spinner than do something about the slime.

"Fair enough. Let's just take that route."

"Well, then why did I just get scolded?

Dropping a lil with an unmistakable look on his face, Oul began to prepare for the invasion.

Invasion from dungeon to dungeon is slightly different than the adventurers attacking the dungeon. To the Lord of the Dungeon, to say his labyrinth equals his own body. I can largely grasp what is happening in it, and vice versa, I can generally control what happens.

In other words, a dungeon versus a dungeon battle is a takeover of each other's territory. Equal to body eating. It's like a war between nations or a 'classy' battle like dungeon exploration.

"All right, lay down the formation! Break down the wall!

Hellhounds eat and kill herds of oak, and in a splashy room of blood and brains, Oul joins forces there. Cobolts and imps tap the walls one after the other, destroying the walls in no time.

You don't have to go out of your way wandering the labyrinth, defeating your enemies and moving on. You can destroy walls and floors and beat them straight to the center. That's what I call a battle between dungeon masters.

Oul gathers the carcasses of the orcs and draws the magic formation with his blood. The labyrinth of Oulu is laid unbroken and cannot be transferred. But if it's Spina's labyrinth, it's not the story. Though the easy junction is strained for once, its strength is badly brittle compared to that of the owl. We could easily create a transfer formation if we painted the magic formation and rebuilt the boundaries.

"You defend this place."

Oulu called a few giants in the transfer formation and a few white arves to place them at the base. A giant becomes a wall against his enemies, and from behind him an arv releases an arrow to cover him. Excellent combination of defense.

By placing a defensive role behind him, he can prevent pinching and accidental strikes from behind him, and can further restrain his intrusion into the dungeon.

"Dig the east wall next! We're going into the groundwater!

When the cobolts smashed down the wall, what lay ahead was the underground waters that flowed with all the noise. Flying giants can also fly lightly over the sky, but the Ouls don't. We'll just have to bypass here...... that's what Spina should be thinking.

"Cross the bridge! Hurry!"

When Oul summoned a giant bridge from the summons, he ordered the giants to anchor it to the banks of the river. The bridge was made by the Dwergs in a hurry, a simple piece of wood, but sturdy with origami. Even when the giants, several times as tall as humans, rode, they couldn't even make a squeaking noise.

"Break down the opposite wall!

At the end of the bridge, Kobolt and the giants work together to wield the Tsuruhashi, quickly smashing down the opposite wall. Soon after, the voice of the Terminator echoed around.

"What...!?

A giant round stone rolled out filling the aisle, crushing the Kobolts and swallowing the giants as well. The 'Sphere' trap… it is a vicious trap that is difficult to use due to its extra destructive power.

"Stupid, you set me up in a place like this... no, that's why"

Spina knows all about Oulu's personality and behavioral patterns. This place cannot be crossed by normal means. That's why Spina read that Oulu was breaking in from here and setting a trap.

"For this minute, you can assume that other routes of entry have been read..."

Oul thought of a map of Spina's labyrinth behind his brain. The path that Oulu had in mind to take is nowhere to go in retrospect. Too many places to put guards. Oul thought of it as a gap, but rather this is a trap. Instead of handing out guards, it's probably loaded with vicious traps. Or breaking through from the front can't be a good idea either. There are a large number of demons of the Guard.

The interests of the land, however weak the individual may be, are beyond. For example, if an arrow is fired from a high ground, this one will have to be unilaterally attacked. In that case, even if you don't lose, the damage is enormous.

"... then let me show you. Spina, what you call a strategy you haven't seen yet."

Thus, Oul finally reached the deepest part of Spina's labyrinth. A giant slime fits into the room and beats like a heart.

"Break down the wall print!

Oulu instructed the Kobolts to begin destroying the passage wall leading to the room with the slime. Magic is carried to the center by this tattoo. Once you destroy the perimeter of the room, the magic supply to the slime will almost stop.

That way, the labyrinth cannot be maintained any longer, and the slime will not grow larger.

"Come out, Spina! I turned down the magic supply. You lose!

Heading into the void, Oul screams. Wherever Spinner is, there's no way he's not watching this room at the core.

"... it's a boulder, Master"

Guru, and the surface of the slime are distorted and the arms protrude. Then the white face was exposed and from among the mucus-shaped organisms, Spina slowly exposed its body. She slowly breaks her hips into the oul, sparing no effort to make her look unwrapped.

"I didn't expect you to get here so soon"

"I didn't show it to you yet. these strategies. … well, it's not like it could be called a strategy"

Oul looked back and indicated the back of the aisle.

Behind it are giants, cobolts and imps with tsuruhashi, with huge halls that have been dug, leaving only the minimum pillars behind.

"Nothing. It's just an overwhelming amount of force."

What you call a trap is valid because it's a closed space, like a passageway or a small room. They have also destroyed them all and broken them down, so they are certainly not the kind of means we can call strategy. but throwing down all the power reduces that much power to defense and increases the danger. Estimating the balance of that rigidity can also be considered one of the strategies.

"... than that, what are you going to do with this"

To Oulu's question, Spina answers with a clear smile.

"I'm ready to welcome your master. … spend time with me in this labyrinth"

"I don't need to take care of it. Get rid of that slime now.... We're going home."

"That's not how it works."

Slime moved around as if to echo Spina's words, blocking the passage to surround him. How do you manipulate a slime that doesn't even have intelligence on its own?

"I can help. But... So?

But Oul asked without panic as he saw it. I'm no longer surprised how talented this girl is.

"No, it's just that I'm showing you who your master is."

Spina approached Oulu and gently touched his cheek. The hand was amazingly cold, giving him a sense of stillness in a low-temperature underground labyrinth.

"... sounds like you're serious"

Oul sighs that my disciple is not of a good nature at all. If Spina is hostile to Oulu, the curse he has placed on him prevents him from doing so. Spina really does this to guide and protect Oulu.

"But I can't do what you say." Lower the slime, Spina ". Just..."

With a curse, Oul commands. But the order had no effect on Spina.

"Nah... you...!

Because the magic didn't go through the spinner, not.

Because I understood what she had paid for it.

"Stupid thing...... you know what you did!?

"Yeah, I understand. Still, this was the only way for me to line up with my master... to stand beside you. Then I do not consider my actions foolish"

Spina slowly hugs the oul. Oul's lower body was already wrapped in slime. And the slime is connected to the lower body of the spinner.

No.

The lower body of the spinner itself had now turned into a slime. Its end stretches long and leads to a huge slime beating in the center of the dungeon. It was only natural to be able to move the unintelligent slime freely.

She slimmed herself.

"It would be the same for your master to abandon being a person...? Now, behind the labyrinth, love me forever..."

Spinner's body swallows an oul. It would not melt Oul's body, but it had seized the magic and completely sealed his movements.

"..." Nellis Via Spina ""

Oul's body was almost taken in, then. Oul was the only exposed mouth, and yes she called her name.

As soon as possible, the spinner movement stops perfectly.

"'Let me go'"

To the following words, Oul's body moved away from Spina's body.

"Oh no..."

The spinner is stunned but lets go of the body from the oul and the surrounding slime. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist, and she couldn't stop the movement.

"One thing I didn't tell you."

Oul said as he breathed and put his magic through his shriveling hands and feet.

"A sorcerer can never disobey a master named after him. It doesn't matter if you deactivate magic or if you're not a person. First name is being itself. Because it's the same thing as a soul."

No sound, tears streaming down Spina's cheeks.

"... don't cry. I understand your concern, and I'm not willing to make it unobstructed. Come on, let's go home."

"... cry?

Spina gently put her hand on her cheek and confirmed the tears flowing.

And distort your mouth to the shape of a laugh.

"This is not a tear of sorrow. It's a tear of joy. I'm finally..."

Oul movement stops. I can't move my body at all, as if it were an earlier spinner.

"My master and I could have been the same."

No, the fact is, it's just like the spinner we had earlier.

"Similar... a spell...!
