The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

Episode 65: Go to the Fifth Labyrinth!

"Nooooooooooooooo!! I'm not moving from here. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"What is this?"

"This was what happened when I came."

"Is Loribaba making a scene again"

I mean, we're leaving this morning, so we were meeting up on our own. But Marie's one doesn't try to move.

"If I remember such comfort, I can't move! I'm not going!

"You said you'd cooperate with us."

"Rafe's an idiot! It's not easy to change human minds! You idiot!"

"Hey...? Can I hit this guy?

"Well, calm down."

When I mock Rafe, I force Marie to peel her out of bed.

"Stop. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't take me Awwwwwwwwwwww!!

It was so loud that I used alchemy to hold Marie tight, give her to Rafe, and the four of us headed to the Fifth Labyrinth.

"Gu... you don't have to treat me like that. Yeah, no... Gu"

"Sorry, sorry. Sorry, Marie."

Marie starts fooling me when I go outside, so I manage to calm her down. Looks like you're really dealing with a young girl when you're dealing with her this way. But my age is 45. Not at all, it doesn't go with appearance, words and deeds.

I won't tell you because if you say something like this, you'll make a scene again.

"Hmm? Something wrong with those guys?

"... that's odd indeed"

Just using the metastasis, the arrowheads that were moving to the Igal Republic with the Fifth Labyrinth... strange people surround us. He's wrapped his whole body in a robe, and his face is hard to see. Looking at the number, is it about 20 people?

"Hey, get in the fight system. I'm gonna kill these guys."

"Ah......"

"Yep."

"... Hmm. You got it."

And the four of us moved into a combat system. Formation has been decided for a time like this, and the front line is me and Rafe. The guards are Marie and Phee.

……

I'm staring at this one, and I'm going to pack my stiffness and distance. I thought it was like a bandit or a bandit, but it was odd for that. That means everyone is an alchemist. I had a good sense of the primary material, PrimaMateria, which was leaking slightly.

"... whoa whoa whoa!!!!

Rafe raises his voice and storms the target. I also pulled a knife out of thin feathers after that. Alchemy gives you a physical function and strives to keep your opponent from moving first.

"... Damn!!

Unexpectedly leaks his voice. The opponent's attack is not that big of a deal. Alchemy is fairly skilled, and not so much as it can't handle. But now I can only rely on my left eye vision. A slightly crazy sense of distance. Because of that, I can't hit a thin feather.

But more than that, I was... scared.

It's about being ready to slaughter people.

The real feeling of killing people in the Sixth Labyrinth still remains in my mind. That's why I'm frustrated by the question of whether I can kill people from now on.

"El!! Abuuuuuuuuu!!!!

The moment Rafe said that, the opponent's unleashed attack was imminent. Some of my opponents seemed to specialize in white soldier warfare, and the sword was about to be waved down in front of me.

Defense will make it...... no... what to do!!?

At that instant, the opponent's neck shifts off with a squirt...... just roll straight to the ground with the bodega and head.

Looking back at Ba, there was Marie staring seriously at this one.

"What are you doing!! This is not a kill!!!

So reprimanded and I think. If you don't kill him, he'll kill you. That's right. That's where we stand and fight now. Nothing unusual. Bandits, bandits, etc. attack and kill people miserably. Sometimes they get hit back and get killed. I know there are rumors of that. But when I actually see it in front of me, my hands tremble and my vision is sumptuous. I'm not just wearing any eyeballs. Unlike demons, I'm not ready to kill the same people yet.

While doing so, it seemed Rafe had cleaned up everyone but one, capturing a leader human being.

"Hey, Temehe et al. It's not just wild theft, is it? Whose use is it?"

"... Kuh!!

When a man so caught says, he suddenly falls on the spot without power.

"Did you even plant poison in your mouth? The pulse..."

Rafe checks the pulse and pupils of the fallen man.

"You don't have a pulse... and your pupils, they're completely open. Immediate death."

"Hmm. I have a lot of nerve including the poison that kills me instantly. But that could also be caused by brainwashing."

"Right. But this is weird. I'm the first type I've ever met. What's the purpose in the first place?

"Hmm. I don't know. Did you snipe us, or were you targeted because you were here by chance..."

While Rafe and Marie were talking like that, I stood still.

"Elle, are you okay?

"Fee. Sounds like I'm not ready yet."

"I can't believe I'm ready to kill people... it's not that easy. Even I don't want to, and I'm scared."

"Right... right"

After all, it's a matter of getting used to it. That's what Leif told me afterwards, and Marie told me the same thing. If you get used to killing people, you'll be able to swallow that fact. No matter how merciless it is. This world has been developed by alchemy. But at the same time, alchemy is very useful as a means of killing people. As a result, there are also cases where I say that when these sudden battles occur, I have no choice but to kill them.

The result of the late having too much power over each other.

I was ashamed of my still immature self and used my metastasis to move on.

"Ugh... it's cold..."

"You're really cold. I'll never get used to this."

The four of us were already inside the Igal Republic. Earlier populations remain a mystery, but the aim now is to break through the Fifth Labyrinth.

"The Fifth Labyrinth is further north from here. Still, it's cold..."

That's what Rafe says, but it's definitely cold. It's colder than when we came here a week ago. Temperature, and how long has it been dropping? That's what I decided to stop by the Alchemy Society in the city.

"Actually... the cold has worsened suddenly since last week... and it's now freezing"

When you talk to the person at the reception, this phenomenon has been around for a week. That is also said to be the first such phenomenon in the Igal Republic. Temperatures much lower than usual. That seems to be slowly eroding the city. And apparently, he thinks the cause is in the Fifth Labyrinth.

"... caused by the Fifth Labyrinth, the cold is going on?

"Rafe's right, I guess there's something in the labyrinth"

"Leviataine doesn't work, either. Ice, right? Isn't that what this is about?

"Hmm...... but that's hard to think of. Something may have happened inside the labyrinth."

"Right..."

The four of us discussed it and immediately decided to head to the Fifth Labyrinth. Speaking at the association, it appears that several alchemists from this city headed to the Fifth Labyrinth. Even so, it wasn't for a labyrinth attack, it just seemed like an investigation.

But we see incredible sights in front of the Fifth Labyrinth.

"Hey, what's this..."

"Ah......"

"Hey, hey..."

"It's like art. Well, it's a careless story."

There was some avant-garde art-like object in front of the Fifth Labyrinth. That is understandably highly artistic at first glance. But the problem is in it.

It was humans who were trapped in the ice. That's also ripped apart limbs. In addition, fear-distorted heads are arranged in such a way that they are gathered on the ice and circled.

"Hobbyist no...... or did a demon do this?

"No, I don't know. But to be sure, the labyrinth is still full of mysteries."

"Look, there's no ice at the entrance."

"Hmm. I'm inviting... maybe"

But you can't stop here either. The four of us barely went inside the Fifth Labyrinth.
