Episode 328: Numerous Secrets and How to End the Situation

"... how do you know that?

The dialogue Laura said was maybe just a bluff.

For example, it would be a mistake to ask, but about Edel, well, you don't mind if I split.

Because Laura is asking that we can do the same.

Besides, it's a lot more advanced than me, being able to let others share it.

I can't blame you for this.

In the first place, if Laura meant to do that, I wouldn't be able to live a decent life in Malt.

I tend to forget because she's been pretty good to me, but she's a power close to a lord in malts.

If she tries to do something serious about me like that, I have no choice but to leave the malt anymore.

So I also had the optimism that it would be okay.

In my words, Laura...

"... that explanation will take time, after everything has been cleared up"

I said.

Go on further,

"More than that, look. You'll see a panoramic view of the malt far down...... don't you notice?

It wasn't even an option to eat down here, but it's also a fact that we don't have time right now.

If you're willing to explain later, I decided to leave it for now.

Then, following Laura's words and looking at the panoramic view of Malt,

"... this is the magic formation, or...?

Part of the ground of the malt is pale and glowing.

Connecting them together, it just seemed like a giant magic formation was being formed.

In my words, Laura...

"Exactly. That is a very old magic formation. Something very different in scale and potency from that of modern times. I didn't think anyone still remembered..."

"Magic formation...... what's happening here right now is that it's massive magic? But there's a lot of price for magic on this scale..."

I can also hear Lorraine.

It's kind of weird when you don't have a person in your sight but that person's voice sounds normally close.

I need to get used to it......

Laura answers Lorraine's words.

"Exactly. The consideration... you all know that. People who became corpse ghosts, and the blood of their victims, and even less..."

"... Schmini made it up to himself, so..."

I hear Isaac's thoughtless voice.

Laura continues.

"In fact, in addition to that, I supposedly used a variety of demonic stones and props. That's all this magic is hard to activate. But he did it. I've done it..."

If you don't think about good or evil at all, you can say it's a great deed.

But there's no way we can forgive magic, such as the people of the city becoming demons.

"But... what the hell do you gain from doing this to Shmini? Did he want to destroy Marto...?

"That's not what it would have been. The effect of this sorcery, in short, is to generate the Labyrinth. He wanted to be the Lord of the Labyrinth..."

That's what Laura said.

"Generating the Labyrinth!? Can you do that by magic? What is Labyrinth in the first place... is it made of magic...?

Lorraine raised her surprise, says Laura.

"There are many different kinds of Labyrinth as well, but this time it's about to be generated. This is the type of thing created by magic. Actually, there is, so you can..."

"... but if so, why would the inhabitants be demons...? Didn't the labyrinth demons show up with natural occurrences and summonses?

To my question, Laura...

"If it's a finished Labyrinth, you're right. But as I said earlier, this sorcery costs a lot. Perhaps Schmini paid for everything he could possibly think of, but still it wasn't enough, that is. But the magic was activated. The labyrinth is trying to capture what's missing... no, even Schmini must have put it in his account and activated the magic... look"

That said, Laura moves the bird's point of view.

The bird tried to descend towards the bottom, but Bacili, and something like thunder ran and ended without being able to descend.

In addition, he flies around the malt and tries to get inside the malt, but from which direction, and from which altitude, he still gets bounced into something like a transparent wall.

"This is..."

When I speak up, Laura says.

"It is the magic of the Labyrinth that restricts people's access, both from within and from outside. Until the magic is complete, no one can go inside or go outside..."

The bird's point of view flies around the malt.

... shouted to get inside the malt, and people pounding and hitting transparent walls got into my eyes.

Some of them look familiar.

"He said he's back because of it, but there's a wall like this...! Mr. Lent! I'm on my way! Leave the vampire Vampire!

That's what I'm shouting at.

I feel like the gold-class adventurer I know... well, it's my fault.

No, I'm kidding, is that why even Niv can't tear it?

Horrible.

"What am I supposed to do...? Wouldn't magic end in failure if we defeated that demon that was Schmini?

It's the basics of magic.

If the surgeon can't stabilize the magic, then the magic fails there.

There are many different ways to fail, such as magic not activating, erupting, or another sorcery being unleashed, but it fails anyway.

But Laura...

"This magic is no longer established independently at the time it is activated. So even if the surgeon dies, he'll keep running until it's done."

Doesn't that mean you don't have a hitter anymore?

Does Malt end up like this?

I thought so.

But Laura,

"... it's just not like there's no way. The Labyrinth has a central point called Labyrinth Nucleus or Core. Take that..."

"Should I break it?

I predicted the continuation and said, Laura said,

"... don't rush. You can't break it. It's not, it needs to dominate. On top of that, it stops any more growth in the labyrinth. That would calm the situation down."
