Sword of the Philosopher

Message in the hall

As a result of the discussion, the three of us, Kuusa and Kati, responded ad hoc with a pattern of breaking traps and intercepting enemies... and each time I calmed down by changing my position. Sophia can also use magic. In some cases, trap removal can be done avant-garde, so that she can turn to a support role.

More personnel to remove if there are many traps, and deal with demons if there are few... It's hard to make a proposal, but it's better to have a lot to do, so that's what happened first.

As a result, this extraction was able to proceed without so much fatigue and accumulation. Sure, the enemies have gotten tougher, and the traps are getting troublesome again, but I've been able to deal with that well, so this one's okay.

Speed is pretty much the same as expected, and enough… send sight to your people. Everyone is pushing towards one purpose. Without a little cloudiness, I also shifted my thoughts to a trap in my sight.

So, how long did you keep going through the hierarchy? In labyrinths and games, structures such as schemes were similar or stopping by, but there were unexpected situations depending on the hierarchy. For now, I managed to fit within my memory of what I use my head for, so I'm glad to think that the first part of my concern broke through.

A good amount of time has passed since I saw the demon descent footage... but not a day will have passed. It would be nice to be able to move around all night for a while, but if I cut my focus, it would be over, so it was another anxiety point there as well... I dealt with it safely with my buddies following each other. It would be the result of our power far exceeding the assumption of demonic surrender.

If it's true, it should be a labyrinth of the abyss that should take a few days to attack, but we're rushing to attack it fastest... and I wouldn't even assume a demonic surrender like this. If he/she survived, how did he/she feel?

We go down a few stairs while we think about it.

Ahead was one iron door with both openings. That's all that existed at the end of the aisle, I don't see any kind of trick, no sign of demons, no traps.

"... Dear Luon"

"Oh, definitely"

I rely on the memory of the game.

"Ahead, there are enemies to be described as guardians of this labyrinth... i.e., this is the lowest level"

Glimpse of the faces of all. Keep fighting demons, keep handling traps. You still have plenty of energy and magic to spare. The medicine is still there. I'm pretty sure I was able to reach it close to full.

"Dear Luon, it's time, by the way..."

"It's moving around in this labyrinth, and it's hard to understand... but it still fits within your assumptions"

Answer the question, and I'll go on to Sofia.

"You can assume that we were able to get here as fast as we planned... well, if we were to get here, we would be just a few moments away. The last enemy won't lose unless he's cautious."

I approach the door, checking the perimeter.

"I'll stand in front of you. It's dangerous right after you open the door."

"Okay...... what do we do?

"Assume an attack is coming and ask to be prepared for defense"

That's all I say and put my hand on the door. With a little effort, I started to open it with gogo.

Peek inside through the gap. It's a big hall up ahead, and at the far back is the weaponry we're looking for. But there must have been enemies in front of them who could be called protectors.

Fulfilling...... inside is a big hall that resembles the game badly. Until we got here, the labyrinth was wrapped in basic lacquer black, but you use even some special material, this room was so full of blue and white glowing objects that you could see the outline of the hall.

Have you been illuminating the hall ever since this labyrinth was created, or has your visit here created light... and here I realize I am.

"... you're not here"

"The Guardian, is it?

To Sophia's question, I said, "Yes."

"There's no such thing as magic...... there's no way you haven't prepared one or two trials at the end of the day though. Proceed with caution."

Into the hall. Straight ahead is a place wrapped in bright white light, and that's definitely where the weapons are.

Magic directly from the front as you walk thinking that what you asked for is apparently within reach... Not so much enormous though, I instantly realized what had happened.

"Video, huh?"

Footage of the demonic descent, which emerged in the upper hierarchy...... the opponent was silent for a little while but eventually began to talk, with his face hidden in the hood.

'... so far, you seem to have arrived. It's supposed to be the last trial... so there's only one thing I want to tell you before I do.'

We shut up. What message did the demon surrender leave?

'Did you know this labyrinth or not... that will change what I wish for you. First off, yeah...... if you stumble upon this labyrinth. If you were an adventurer, the weapons in the back would be sold out the worst'

A demonic surrender that speaks that way.

'It's just, you know... even if you don't know what kind of weapon it is, you can't doubt that it's one dish infused with immense magic. If so, I might use it myself rather than sell it off...... if so, don't bother people. Later, yeah...... I hope your life doesn't disappear as a result of the rampage'

"Much less noisy."

Leese's point. Well, a weapon with enormous magic really loses its life if it's out of control.

'If you come after finding out about this labyrinth... don't hesitate to take it because this is the result I wanted. However, the final trial begins shortly after this video is broken... but this is how it got here. It will also cut through safely'

I even thought I'd take the armor while I was listening to the conversation somehow, but if you look closely, the area around the armor is covered by magic barriers. I wonder how it would work if you defeated the guardian.

'As for why I say what I prophesied like this... right... talk longer. It's just that maybe... it's connected to someone who knows this labyrinth -'
