The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

A few days after that. The three of us worked at the academy, and Monica decided to resume the labyrinth attack while taking classes.

The information on the labyrinth, which was the original purpose, was given to Rafe. And the three of us had meetings every night. Share each other's opinions on how to base an attack on information, how to do it most efficiently, etc. We went to the village of Elves early in the morning.

By the way, Monica apparently told her parents that she had become a student of the college, which naturally extends to the village. Monica was told to congratulate various people when she returned to the village. And each time Monica was smiling. My dream came true. Then you'll be glad.

And about Monica's house, we start getting ready.

"This time from eleven layers? You can metastasize, Fee."

"Yep. It's well marked, so it should be possible if you can access Prima Materia, the primary material."

"All right. You're all set."

"Doctor, don't be too impotent this time, okay?

"Well... depending on the circumstances, let's do the best we can"

◇

Tenth floor. I was back where I fought that death. But it's weird. Yeah, it's crazy. Because there's nothing here that's supposed to be.

"Hey... where's the body you froze then?

"Ah... that's when the teacher froze me..."

"I don't know. There's no way he's alive, and he can't solve it that quickly. Is this also the nature of the labyrinth?

If you suddenly metastasize me, there will be no body of that subspecies. Don't get me wrong, there's this labyrinth.

I see the paper with the information Rafe gave me. But there is no description anywhere that applies to this phenomenon.

"I can't help thinking about it. Let's go."

"Yep."

"Yes."

We'll go down the stairs and move on to the eleventh floor. As Leif informs us, the big mountain ranges are twenty, thirty, forty and fifty floors. Of course I don't pepper that, but it serves as one guiding principle.

And we kept killing Hughespider, the giant spider that showed up. This also made the individual more powerful the more he went down as the information suggests. But given the fighting in Altart, they're not as strong as those Scorpions. Whatever you say, the giant spider Huge Spider doesn't have that hard outer shell. Moreover, few individuals play reflectors or resists.

You were used to that battlefield, and I felt my strength as an alchemist was rising. In particular, the treatment of the first material, Prima Materia, became outstanding. Trivial amounts can now be adjusted, and fine tuning of the alchemy can also work. Only freeze the toe of the giant spider "Huge Spider" with a pinpoint, flashing with thin feathers.

Just repeat the task. Fee and Monica will freeze their legs equally pale, and I'll break their heads.

And then things went well, and we got to the fifteenth floor. Now I take a break in front of the stairs to the sixteenth floor.

"Ha... so far so good"

"Right. You can still go at all."

"But it's time to see twenty layers, I'm a little scared"

"Let's go without alarm"

When we eat drinking water and portable food, we go straight to the next level. Such an arrow tip, I caught something chilling in my sight.

Is that... the Uroboros crest?

Uroboros, which in alchemy indicates a circle called 'One is All, All is One'. Snakes with their own tails added. That crest also appears in textbooks, and an alchemist knows it as common sense. But what does it mean that this is engraved in this labyrinth?

"Fee, Monica, look. Uroboros."

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

Only one on the wall as we descend the stairs, but the uroboros is engraved. Maybe this means something.

"... Sure, you're a uroborous. But why are you here?

"... what Uroboros shows is the circle of the world, right? Could a labyrinth be connected to something?

"Right...... I can't ignore this. After all, the labyrinth may be a lost-technology, or alchemy-related facility"

And I'll put that information on my notebook and write it down.

Uroboros. I'm sure this is connected to something.

And we kept going, and we came all the way up to twenty layers. The giant spider Hughespider has also made quite a strategic move as to whether he is more proficient in boulders. But intelligence is better for us humans. Their strategy is known. Killing wasn't that much trouble.

And before the twenty layers in question. If the information is correct, there must be powerful individuals here as well.

"... let's go. Are you ready for this?

"Yep."

"Yes......"

I'm going with thin feathers pulled out.

"... What's this?

I cut ahead and entered the twentieth floor. It was the same space as the ten layers. Just a lot of space. So, this place is crazy. Yeah, it's crazy.

"Hey, El... here"

"Doctor..."

"Ah... nothing, no?

That's right. There's nothing here. No sign of life. Just empty space with nothing. And I see twenty-first floor of stairs.

"Well... then, let's go first"

The moment Phee tried to walk, I realized it was because I was activating the absolute realm Sanctuary. Something about the alchemy being activated...

"Phew!!! Danger!!!!!!"

"... Huh?

I try to shelter her from the alchemy activated directly beneath Fee and poke her. And the activated alchemy struck me right.

Yes... this alchemy... is a metastasis.

The last time I saw Fi's face, I was jumped somewhere.

◇

"Ugh... where am I?

The place I came the moment I transferred was a small room. He also considered the possibility of being attacked by a massive giant spider, the Hughespider, the moment he metastasized on a labyrinth trap, but it seems different. Besides, I noticed. That alchemy was installed over the last few days and is delayed activation in response to the first material in the human body, PrimaMateria. I was saddened that the labyrinth was not going to be a glimmer.

Was that alchemy installed by the giant spider Hughespider, or... a third-party human being, did it? But considering you're human, it's weird. Can you get that far by ignoring the giant spider Hughespider? Even if we use metastases, that one needs to mark each other's locations.

There's no way there's a pioneer? But why would you do that? I don't understand, but for now... we just have to get out of here. And I need to rendezvous with Phee and Monica. You must be worried.

I'll smell the flames from my fingertips and try to illuminate my surroundings. Then there was a desk and... some kind of box. Is this... what Rafe was saying?

"Box... but it's got glass on it... what do you use it for? And this?

What was there was a box and a small round thing. The string is attached. But I don't know what I'm going to use it for. But I've never seen this in my kingdom or in my empire. No way, is it Lost Technology?

I want to take it home, but it's heavy when I lift it all the way up. With alchemy, you could carry it, but now it would be more important to know what's going on than it is.

I opened the door and there was a narrow passage there. And look in the aisle and be gnawed. Yes, because there's a ton of uroboros all the way through it, and it was drawn. Moments, the lights above both sides "both".

"... are you coming?

It was like he was inviting me. The end of your gaze is dim. I don't even know what it is. But the only option I can make right now is to move on. That's all I have. Fortunately, there is still enough water and portable food on the porch. You can explore the labyrinth. Relax, I'm fine...

And I made sure something asked me out, so I could move on.
