The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

"Speaking of which, El. What do you care...?

Two days after that. We were ready and in the carriage. That's when Phee asks me about that time.

"Oh, you mean that. Hey, remember what happened a month ago?

"A month ago......?

"Speaking of which, a month ago, a giant spider, Hughespider, was sighted in our village, but it was also around that time that news of the Third Labyrinth attack arrived"

"... Your answer."

As Monica pointed out, I believe this case has something to do with the first labyrinth tread. Instead, it's weird if you don't think about it that way. The Sixth Labyrinth, where there has been nothing for the last hundred years. We've known the nature of the labyrinth for centuries and people didn't even approach it because it would be safe if we didn't even go into the labyrinth.

Even so, this anomaly, anomaly. It's the end of the day when demons overflow from the labyrinth.

Such a giant spider, Hughespider, is classified as Danger Class B as a Demon Rank.

The degree of danger of demons is divided into S A B C D E F. When it comes to Hazard Class B, ordinary humans can't handle it. In particular, it is assumed that hazard C and above can only be dealt with by those with special skills, such as alchemists and knights.

Labyrinth demons are all above level C. In other words, the fact that it overflows outside poses considerable danger to the average person. It's not strange that they're killing me. The spill of the giant spider Huge Spider is such an anomaly. I can also snort that the chairman sent me and Fee in.

"Maybe there's something in the labyrinth that's interacting"

"I see... maybe Elle is right"

"When they say that, yeah"

I'm definitely stepping on something. A collection habit that is an unusual characteristic of the giant spider Hughespider on the giant spider Hughespider that overflows from the labyrinth. Even though we have known for a long time the existence of the giant spider Hughespider, we were not known to have a collection habit. In other words, the giant spider Huge Spider of the Labyrinth is a special individual… it may be a subspecies.

Talking about that, we headed to the labyrinth as quickly as we could in the village of Elves preparing for the same thing we did last time.

"... now, do you want to lose the ice at the entrance"

When I read Phee's built alchemy, I resist it in an instant. The Phee one was daring to smell ice in beautiful condition, so it was easy to resist.

"Let's go"

"Yeah."

"Yes."

That's how we explore the labyrinth. The second time began.

……

……

……

The three of us proceed with caution. But it's easier now because we're just following the same path as last time. After a while, we came to the square of examples. There is no giant spider, Hughespider, there. Because we killed them all. Thinking so, I noticed that there was one giant spider on the wall, the Huge Spider.

"Oh, that... do you want to knock it down?

"Hi-no-no. Ya, I'm not used to it. Wow..."

"No, things are not right...... I just want to observe"

Was that giant spider, the Huge Spider, something that had leaked from two layers underground?

And you behave strangely. I feel like I'm wandering around or hesitating to enter the stairs to the second floor. But do you have any reason to hesitate? I don't have a complete picture of the ecosystem here, so I can't say it at all, but it's oddly uncomfortable.

After watching for a few minutes or so, the giant spider Hughespider went down the stairs with a dotard. We decided to follow the trail.

"We're going after him!

"Ha!!

"... yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like it. Oh."

Down the stairs, not that long, we quickly reached the two levels. It wasn't a narrow road or anything, it was the square again. But it's smaller than the square earlier. Then we found the giant spider Hughespider earlier. Plus, the other giant spider, Hughespider, stops by to surround him. Moments, I see incredible things.

"...... heh!!?

"Hih..."

"Ugh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!? What is that, eating together!!?

Yes, as Phee put it, there was co-eating going on. Hughespider, a giant spider from one layer, is bound by yarn by other giant spiders Hughespider and preyed upon alive. "Kitty!!" I am giving him a severed demon, but gradually he was eaten from his legs, and his head was eaten, and everything was gone.

Co-eating. I wonder if there's such an ecosystem, but it's strange. That giant spider, Hughespider, was wandering, and he came here unstoppable and ate. That seems like an impression. I don't think it's just co-eating. Of course, it's not particularly surprising because eating together is common with demons...

As we sort out the situation, dozens of giant spiders, Hughespider, stare at us. Moments, they come running at unusual speeds, threading at the same time, trying to restrain us.

"Let's go!!

"" Roger that!!

Each of us smells ice. Follow the thread that gets thrown up and freeze it, preventing the giant spider Hughespider from moving. And as always, I try to stab the ice column in my brain...

"What!!? Resist!!?

Yes, my alchemy was resisted. As the smelting formation swung around over the head of the giant spider Huge Spider, my smelted ice column was knocked out by it.

But the inability to move remains intact. So I'm a hassle, but I flash each head with thin feathers. It broke vertically into packs, and after I had killed everything, I decided to have Monica burn it. Monica has the biggest total amount of magic among us, so I hear this amount isn't a hassle.

"Fee, what do you think"

"... You've never heard of a case where demons used alchemy. I hear rumors about work patterns and alchemy... but I still don't know this."

"Right. I gently checked the body as I killed him, but the smelting marks are the same as the ones we use. Nothing special. It's just normal alchemy, but apparently alchemy isn't just for people..."

"... right"

On second thought, I'm not sure how the alchemy came into being. I just know it was created by a human being named Initial Ancestor.

"Hey, maybe alchemy isn't another form of lost-technology?

"Alchemy is Lost Technology? No, because..."

"No, alchemy is a name we humans have given ourselves. It was also called magic and magic in the past in the first place. It is alchemy that has found legitimacy there, conceived and developed theories. I mean, it's not surprising to think that there have been alchemy equivalents in the past. So is the presence of the labyrinth. How do you make this? Such a massive facility in the basement. Besides, it's well made. There are no signs of collapse either. Maybe the spiders here created this labyrinth"

"... that makes sense. You're starting to smell really bad. Yeah, and... information on the Third Labyrinth, but now I know how many layers were at the bottom. I checked it out before I got here."

"Say that quickly..."

"So, because I was scared to come here... but now I'm more concerned about solving the mystery, so I'm a little okay. So, I hear it was 50 layers."

"50 layers... that's deep"

"Is it just the Third Labyrinth, or are the other Labyrinths the same... I don't know, but it would be one guide, wouldn't it?

"Right. It's easier to move forward with goals."

Once we finished talking, Monica came back.

"We were talking about something, weren't we? What do you know?

"Actually..."

I briefly told him what I had just told him.

"... I see. Indeed, there is such a story in the Elf Heritage as well. Alchemy, or magic, used to flourish amazingly long ago, but at one point you said you followed the path of doom? There was a city called the Magic City somewhere..."

"A magical city... similar to the kingdom of today, or that it has been in the past..."

Almost everything in the Kingdom of Canovaria is made up of alchemy. Infrastructure and the like also require alchemy. When I hear about it now, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a modern magical city.

"That's it for the story, let's move on. I don't want to spend too much time on it, and if you're assuming there's 50 layers, you'd better move on."

"Right."

"Okay."

Then we went through the labyrinth. And it breaks through well with two, three, four layers, but I haven't seen Hughespider, a giant spider that uses alchemy since then. It's just a normal individual. So when we got to the 9th level... we decided to take a break. The three of us eat mobile food, drink water and rest slowly.

"Ha... I'm tired. But that went pretty far with the nine layers."

"Oh... so far so good"

"I might be getting used to it a little too! All I've ever had is disgust, but now it's creepy - only to the extent! I knew I was a woman I could overcome...... Hmm!!

"Ma, honestly, it helps. If everyone is in perfect condition, then a labyrinth tread is not a dream either. Fee, you're marking metastases, right?

"Of course! I'm doing every layer of it. You can't jump to the entrance at once with this hierarchy, but you can go back to the entrance through it."

"Okay...... it's still big to be able to use metastases"

And after confirming my plans for the future, I decided to go up to 10 levels today and go back.

"This is where the 10 layers are... big."

Going down to the 10th floor, that was a pretty open place. One turn is bigger than the other. And furthermore, the stairs to the eleventh floor are already visible. If you think, the door comes down the stairs to the 11th floor and to the 9th floor where we came from.

"... Huh!!? Trapped!!?

"So, are you okay?!?

"No, to this extent, destroy...... can't you? Alchemy is played completely. No way, metastases too...... Phew!! Can metastases be used!!?

"No!! The other layers are disconnected from the alchemy! I can't go through Prima Materia, the first material!

"... trapped, or"

Then I feel something scratching in the ceiling. I always thought it was the giant spider Hughespider as usual. Yes, I was guessing. But what is that? Is that individual...?

"That... the hell..."

"Oh, that one."

"Ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!! I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!!!

Yes, the huge spider in the ceiling, the Huge Spider, was such an individual that it exceeded 10 meters in size.

"Ki, Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

Huge spider "Huge Spider" sounds. But its volume is not the ratio of the normal one.

We get stunned by the sheer heterogeneity.

So completely trapped, we're going to fight this monster.
