Eventually, we see a vast ocean of lava, and Frosty stops and turns to us.

No. "Here. His Majesty the Demon... is at the end of his eyes and nose" "Even the Fifth Labyrinth!?

"The Fifth Labyrinth?

The voices of me and Norzuri overlap even if I don't want to.

But the emotion that was put into the statement is the opposite, and the reason for the surprise is completely different.

Me and Norzuri gazed silently, then we perceived what each other was thinking and pulled ourselves back in the form of my giving Norzuri the order in which we spoke.

"... Frosty, are you serious? The Fifth Labyrinth is His Majesty's castle in this hierarchy. We could have prepared a different, more difficult place, for example by inviting humans from the ground into such a place."

"I was also surprised that this is Your Majesty's own sacrament. I just did my part according to it."

Norzuri distorts his expression bitterly.

As far as that reaction is concerned, there is a fifth labyrinth hierarchy in this dungeon that we did not know, and that definitely seems to be the current stronghold of the Demon King's army.

"I can't do it if His Majesty said so. Be glad to see His Majesty's castle as a human being."

"I don't mind... the administrator of Athlopolis didn't say there was a fifth labyrinth."

"Naturally. We discovered the fifth tier after the demon king Fraxinus abandoned his position and moved to the second tier."

If Norzuri explains it, it's only natural that we couldn't grasp the existence of the Fifth Labyrinth.

It was fundamentally impossible for us to know more than the only favorable source knew.

"But in front of me is only the lava sea..."

"Use 'right eye'. Then you'll see."

"... I have no choice"

I didn't want to abuse it originally, but this would definitely be a proper use.

I put my left hand on my right eyeball and activated "Right Eye of Ji" as usual, conscious of not eliciting excessive performance.

"This is...!

"What's up, White Wolf's!?

The moment my vision switched, I understood exactly what Norzuri was saying.

"That lava is a phantom. It's just a disguise. It's really just a submerged terrain... with a big gate and stairs behind it..."

"Looks like you saw it. That's the entrance to the Fifth Labyrinth. The phantom is only a visual delusion, but it cannot be disarmed. Let's keep moving."

"Just give me a minute. Explain the situation to the others. If you don't, you're not gonna follow me."

After convincing Norzuri of the frightening appearance for a moment, I will first unlock "Right Eye of Wisdom" and work on explaining and persuading the leaders of the other groups.

Nevertheless, it didn't take much time.

Theodore, who leads the Adventurer Party, was convinced in two replies, and the Golden Tooth Knights expressed that it was up to the mission to be escorted, promising me that the key Duke of Kingswell would convince his men as well.

"... are we done?

"Oh, I made you wait. Then let's go."

At the head of Norzuri and Frosty, we will lead the White Wolf Knights into the spectacle of vast lava.

First of all, I was sure it was a phantom in "Right Eye of Ji". I cut ahead, and Garnett goes on without getting my hair in.

Seeing me and Garnett soaking their legs to their knees is flat, Sakura and Chandler take a slope that is snug on normal steps - hidden in the lava phantom - but they go down.

Nagi and Melissa apparently saw it and decided that safety was guaranteed, and walked out as if it wasn't from the beginning, such as lava.

The remaining members didn't come after us right away, but Mark and Eddie are the only two who are treading on two feet out of vigilance.

Hild and Ambrose, wizards and researchers, stopped on their feet showing interest in how the phantom worked, and Ezel the brave man was curious to bend in and put his hands on the lava phantom to see how its surface waved like a real thing.

"... will you make it home?

"Oops, I'm sorry. If it's such a massive phantom, I've been searching for it, wondering if there's some magical action on the ground."

"Sorry! Wait, Garnett!

Well put, I'm fearless and grand, but badly put, I'm over-piercing my pace.

In a way, he watched many of the big behaves with a mixed look of surprise, not only at Mark and Eddie, but also at the face of the mission.

Keep moving forward without loosening the steps, where the gaze passes through the surface of the lava's phantom, the landscape extending into view changes.

Lava disappears from sight without a trace, and a cobblestone path covered by an arched roof stretches in a straight line from our feet toward the gate on the wall.

It's like the old castle garden.

Without even giving Norzuri and Frosty time to immerse themselves in the tourist mood, he urged us to follow him and step into the Fifth Labyrinth, which stretched beyond the gate.

Fifth labyrinth - it was an artificial underground labyrinth, not resembling a cave or anything else.

In short, the castle itself.

The interior, as if a castle without windows had been buried entirely in the ground, is lit with magic as a light source, gradually arranged.

The aisles are extensive, the ceilings are so high that they do not seem to be in the ground, and all of them are colored with historical decorations.

And as evidence that this is not a ruin or anything else, he told us that a lightly equipped dark elf guard had been placed there and that it was still a military facility in use.

"This guy is... awesome. Wouldn't that be worse than the first tier of Demon King Castle?

"Naturally. That castle is just a substitute for the front-line base. This is our home. Therefore, I never dreamed of inviting you in..."

Eventually Norzuri stopped in front of a lavish door set in the back of the hallway.

"This is the place to look. His Majesty Gandalf is waiting for you in this. Be careful not to be rude if you're wrong."
