The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

"Hey, you've come a lot, Rude. Well, you need to interact with me to get into my room. Now what?"

"... can I just leave the material?"

"Oh no! Don't be sad... Okay, let's get you into the room I'm in charge of today."

... the room where the guardian lives, huh?

Is that the deepest part of the labyrinth?

Now I'm trying to get into a place no one in the world would know.

I'm a little excited. It may seem childish, but my heart is bothering me.

When he holds my hand, he feels a slight dizziness at the next moment and immediately moves to another place.

The view changed.

That's the same room as my house.

Or isn't it my room, this?

There's just a big puddle I'm unfamiliar with.

Surrounded by pebbles, it is like a pond.

"I don't know about this place, but it seems to reflect my thoughts as they are. I mean, you're free to change. It used to be like this."

In the next moment when he is like that, the room becomes a ragged and murderous landscape.

Just leave the pond, and then there's nothing.

The room, laid with stones close to gray, was like a cell.

The guardian squeaked his hands out and put them right back.

"... I see"

"Unfortunately, I didn't remember. I haven't had a room to refer to before, and I left it there, but look at your house. That's good, great. I want you to take your time again."

"Nothing, but then you'll have to disguise yourself so no one's surprised"

If an adventurer sees you, there's no excuse for anything...

"Oh, let me do that. So, I guess coming here today means you brought me something I promised you?"

I'll give him the backpack I owed him in town.

When I take as much material out of it as I can, he takes it out of my hand.

And he looked at them like a razor, and let his eyes shine.

"I see, herbs on demon ore... plus demon material and demon stones. Hmm, that's all we can do."

"... can I have a look?"

I wonder how you're going to build a labyrinth.

"I don't mind. Well, let me show you."

Guardians also tend their chests well.

You're a childish guy.

He walks up to the pond and touches his hand.

Then it was just water as soon as possible. That switches.

Something is showing.

One tier, it says...

"A map of the labyrinth?"

"Exactly. For example, if we do this…"

The map contains information about the trees and demons.

A guardian puts his finger on the tree and transports it elsewhere.

Plus, touch the terrain.

Sharpening some of the one tier that was close to the square also changed the map.

"As this map shows, the hierarchy of the labyrinth changes. So now the hierarchy is in such an interesting shape."

A guardian laughs when he sees a labyrinth shaped like a hippo.

Touch the map. I switched and now some landscape appeared.

Just now, it's just something I can't keep up with.

The guardian looks at me more and loosens his eyes with pleasure.

"Hey, what is this...?"

"This is called a screen, it can reflect far away. There's a map in the corner, right? Part of it has a circle on it, but the footage we're showing now is that part. Beautifully, the terrain is changing, isn't it?"

Sure, the terrain was changing and there was an adventurer there looking confused.

The labyrinth is said to change terrain at times.

I just didn't know I was changing it this way.

"… can this also send demons where adventurers are?"

"Ooh, don't come up with something quite dull. Do you want to try it?"

"Hey, no, hey, don't!"

In a hurry, the guardian had already moved the demonic painting on the map to the adventurer.

Watch the footage as you grab the guardian's arm, but the demon hasn't shown up.

"... what do you mean?"

"Demons only appear a few dozen seconds after placement. So I can't send them in in bulk or anything. I guess some induction is possible, but I stink of thinking like that"

"... I see"

Replace the terrain, install a large number of demons at the end of the road, etc.

Anyway, I was saved by the guy he hated those details.

"The adventurer was in a lot of a hurry, even though he said it was his fault."

"... you're responsible for this one. Besides, it's called self-responsibility, but that's why I don't like it if I die all I want."

"Is that what it is? For now, here's the basic explanation for the labyrinth. Shall we go to another room now?"

When the guardian touches my hand, he moves to another place.

It was a spacious space.

And the demonic footsteps of letting go were ringing.

It was Fildsaurus who came this way.

That number is three. Even further afield I can see a few of them.

Do you miss your guardian, he was scratching a rind and a face.

The guardian looks at you as you look at your face.

"Apparently, all the labyrinths have only one species of demon at first. That's these Fildsauruses. Ten in all. One place at a time, we can make copies of the original demons."

"Original, copy…?"

"Oh. In short, we can replicate the demons here anywhere in the labyrinth. And then let them attack the adventurers and fill them with magic. That's the demonic painting on the map earlier."

"... I see. What does that have to do with not leaving a body in the labyrinth?"

"I guess so. I did my own research, too. I just figured it out, and I don't know if it's right. I hear some of this replicated demon remains in the world as a material."

"We humans think it's a gift from God."

"God, huh? Then I'm God, haha, that's funny!"

The guardian makes a big peek and laughs.

He seemed to take it a lot, and he was in such shape for a while, but his expression slowly returned.

"For now, yes. Not if you're laughing forever. Let's start with regenerating from materials."

"... Play?"

"Bring back demons based on materials. Like this."

The guardian pulls out the knife slightly on his hips and puts his finger on the blade.

The blood came out puffy, and the guardian laid it on the ground, on the demonic stone and on the material.

The ground where the tongue material is placed glows.

Cover your face with too much glare. When the light subsided, there was a goblin there.

"This is the place. Now we can show up goblins, but these demons won't be enough adventurers. Let's have some simultaneous appearances."

To the material I brought him. Plus he gives blood.

... awesome.

"Is this resurrected goblin the goblin I defeated originally?"

"Probably not. If it were the same, would it be something that would react to you?"

The Guardian offers his hand to the Goblins who resurrected him.

The goblins, who bow brilliantly, are just leaning their necks when they look at me.

"Sure... sounds different"

"You still had the demon stone of a goblin. Shall we make another demon from here?"

"... is it a formula?"

"That's right. Easy way to do it. All you have to do is change the combination of the demon stone and the material just now. Do you want to try, Rude?"

"... I'll do it? Or can you?"

"Oh, I'm a little interested in what a demon made out of your blood and energy would look like."

... Well, I'm a little interested.

While I follow his instructions, I take out the slime demon stones and the goblin demon stones, plus those materials.

Drain blood on those two.

"In Rude's case, we have God's armor, and why don't we pour it in directly?"

"... I see"

I didn't know how to do it, but when I thought about it, I felt that God's armor had been taken away a little.

Incidentally, a strong light was revealed.

"Oh, looks like you made it."

When the light subsided, there was a human-shaped slime there.

"Human slime…?"

It's an E-rank monster. I can turn it into a person, but I can tell right away because it looks like a slime.

Slime looks at me and my guardian and changes to that figure.

... it's just slime. Because it is liquid, it is found out.

There is a shadow slime that hits the top species of this slime.

The one who can be completely transformed into a human being is the A-rank equivalent.

I have a story to tell.

At some point, a person at the rear of the line was hit by shadow slime and turned into that person.

The demon of the slime species can divide the body.

The last surviving adventurer escaped with his life, what an adventurer does well.

"What, not a new kind of demon?"

The guardian is easily disappointed.

When I nodded, he nodded his shoulder.

The human slime moved to slip towards me and grabbed my hand.

Then, the body of the human slime changes.

A woman's body. Is this body... Manichea?

"It seems that human slime can be transformed from people's memories, but it's amazing, it's complete..."

It looks just like the real thing... what is it? I've only seen it from above my clothes.

If it weren't liquid now, I would have gotten my feet here many times.

It was a dangerous place.

Because I'm the producer of the human slime, I feel like I've missed it and I touch my body.

"Now you can make more and more demons."

"Well, it just worked now"

That's how he matches the material and drips the blood the opposite of what he did earlier.

There, where the light subsided, was like a small slime, but disappeared to dissolve into the ground as it was.

"This is how you leave nothing if you fail. In that case, the material will be wasted. but I'm going to have to try."

"Oh. I'll leave that to you."

"Uhm. Now if we create a new kind of demon and place it in the labyrinth... will more adventurers come too?"

I nodded as I played human slime.

"Right. If it's a new kind of demon, it's a big case. We need to investigate, and we all want to know what that material can be used for."

"I see! And then I set up more and more demons..."

"... oh, and then. The more common the labyrinth goes up, the more difficult it becomes. Speaking of this labyrinth, why don't you put goblins on one level?"

"Oh, that's my opinion as an adventurer! And we have to make a place to collect demon ore and herbs."

"Right. Here's the thing, you'd better keep them hidden in the trees in a good way. I'm a little happy when I find you."

As things stand, adventurers in town have a lot of that arm stuff.

But if we're going to get a better environment, we'll be able to call a wide range of ranked adventurers.

The guardian was happily starting to set up the demon, and I was looking at the map of the labyrinth a little bit.

"... can't you make a hidden passage or something like a secret base?"

"Whoa, hidden passage! And maybe a treasure room or something! But there's no treasure, so why don't we let the demons in..."

"Yes, no, don't do that..."

We'll come up with our opinions with each other and come up with some ideas about this.

Quite, that's fun.

That's how the labyrinth changed.

... you'll know what this result is when you get back from the city of adventurers.
