Crisp and sounded like scratching dirt in the streets at night.

It eventually got big enough to sound around, and made a big hole in the middle of the street with a bump.

It was one boy who put his face out of it.

"Oh my goodness. You saved me so well. I thought I was gonna die all this time."

The boy with his face out of the hole - Kufal, sighing, crawls out of the hole. Of course he doesn't need to breathe, so this is just a pose that mimics people.

After applying some tricks in the labyrinth of the world tree, he returned to the conduit of the world tree as he took in the remains of monsters and so forth, continuing beyond Berito to the territory of the Union of the Three North.

It is an escape play that can be done because it is the roots of the world tree, strewn throughout this continent.

"... the hidden passage of dead roots we had prepared for Berito escape, when we were looking down there, Bahamut did not show up. This means that his surveillance will only take place around the trunk of the world tree. If we follow him outside Berito, we can escape his surveillance."

The escape route once prepared for the Pope's assassination. When I was looking into it, I wasn't caught up in Dragon God's surveillance.

It is Kufal who remembers it and realizes that 'as far as moving through the world tree is concerned, it will not be caught in surveillance' and 'if it is out of the range of the trunk, it will not be detected'.

But it was the 'dead roots' that were in and out at the time of the escape route, so it was also possible that they were not considered within the boundaries of the world tree. Therefore, this escape plan was also quite a beating for Kufal.

"But I got out, Bahamut! I only monitored you the way you did. You're off guard, I win!

Temporarily pushed through a dying enemy, unable to live up to its sense of accomplishment, Kufal laughs.

That's not all. Numerous carcasses that existed in the labyrinth. By taking it in, Kufal was greatly empowered.

Its power is obviously greater than it was before it escaped into the labyrinth.

"But this is still a shortage. Until the trick starts, I'll have trouble getting my gaze on 'over there'..."

Crawling out of the street, Kfar slowly turned to the north after a loud voice. Ahead, there was the town he once made Negijo.

As he walks, he groans with bumps and makes his thoughts circle. At present, not a single force left to him no longer exists.

Reports received after leaving town indicate that raids in the vicinity of the pioneering village inhabited by Lyell have failed, and that the majority of the organization's personnel have been captured or executed.

Even then, perhaps, few have escaped King Elliot's pursuit.

The vicinity that took him to the town of Berito was also uprooted and defeated by the six heroes, starting with Reid. No, I used it for sacrifice.

Even if Kufal's individual abilities are rising within the labyrinth, his power as an army is a situation that has been shredded.

"Do I have to gather my strength again? Or should we just sacrifice ourselves to make this operation a success?

Walk with a bump and a grunt, looking at your feet. There's no way a monster can leave Kufal like that alone.

Inside the territory of this Union of the Three North, security is not yet in place. Along the streets, there is more danger of being attacked by monsters and beasts than any other country.

A giant snake lurking in a servant along the road jumps to take a cup of defenseless kufal.

Its mouth was about the size of Kfar's height. But shortly afterwards, the snake's vision was closed to darkness.

Because Kufal's half collapsed and he swallowed the head of the snake with a mouth bigger than the snake.

The serpent will soon wrap himself around Kufal and strangle him, and he will give up trying to escape this predicament. But even that resistance ended in vain.

The wound body was intact into Kfar's body and digested. Snakes taken in by the body seemed to have been rampaging for a while, with several times as many swollen kufal bodies rippling from the inside out.

"Mm-hmm."

But also in the meantime, along with Kufal's distracted hanging, the sound echoes from the cockroach and the body.

Pressure was exerted on the inside of the body, crushing the snake's body into fine dust.

And the swollen Kfar's body returned to its original size again.

"It doesn't taste bad, but it still falls extraordinarily as a force. Is the monster in the labyrinth just right? No, perhaps the Lord of the Death was too digitous."

Carcasses found on 700 levels. Kufal had successfully analyzed it in the same way he had analyzed the jewels and taken them in as a lifetime figure.

Its power was unparalleled before, and it had given him so much power that even the demon gods of the two swords were beneath his feet.

"You've had enough of your powers. Then again, what I want now is a number of violence. But when we gather the new half demons, does it still take time..."

In front of him like that, the northern town he had made Negijo into his eyes.

The light of life, visible from the gap in the fence, excluding the beast.

"Oh well. Aren't you there? Massive sacrifices…"

With a joyously trembling voice, Kufal giggles. But the look didn't even work with Pickle. He no longer had the trouble of manipulating his face.
