To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 84: The Labyrinth of Demonic Gardens •

"Yu - Lena's down."

Yu looks at Lena in a chill. Lena had passed out due to a load when she simultaneously deployed the third floor of Black Magic, Thunderbomb.

"I lose my mind because I push beyond my limits.

Nina, you'll notice after a while, so escort him on the side. Fortunately, this is the boss's room, and we don't have to worry about other demons coming after us. "

Nina replies with Lena's head on her knees and a knee pillow.

Marifa is stroking her head worried because of something wrong with Koro and Sucke.

You've been hit for a long time.

As Yu approaches the eccult sitting on the ground, he laughs with his usual people-friendly smile.

"Gushishi, a demon with a rank 5 name on a boulder is strong. You'd be dead if it wasn't for Yu and the others."

"If you don't fight alone, it's only natural to deal with more than one."

Eckhardt's condition was a serious injury. From his left arm, a fractured bone was popping out, and from the flank under storm lance, his intestines were about to pop out with abdominal pressure.

When Yu puts his hand on Eckhardt's flank wound, he hangs his heel as he pushes his bowels back inside. Though the pain is relieved thanks to the heel, the eccult leaks a voice of pain.

"Hehe - don't let the shieldman groan at that level of scratch."

"Mmmm... even shielding hurts if it hurts"

"Eckhardt, I hear Lalit doesn't need heels because he seems to be pain resistant"

"Become!? Wait, heel me, too! There's a couple of broken ribs."

"Gussi, that's fine. Lalit, is it pain-resistant? Shield job?

Eckhardt teases Lalit, who gets desperate with a blue face on Yu's joke.

When Eckhardt's treatment was over, now he was hanging his heel on Larit's broken ribs, and Nina hugged him to Yu from behind.

"Eh heh - Lena, I noticed that."

"Here, don't pull it"

"Earlier, the junction protected me when I was attacked, but Yu did that for me, didn't he?

"I know."

"Eh heh - I know - Yu is sweet"

Yu looks at Koro and Sukke as he pulls Nina over to Marifa. Koro and Sukke are breathing hard and repeatedly while squatting on the ground.

"Marifa, what's wrong with Colo and Sucke?

"I wasn't particularly attacked, but things have been going wrong since the end of the fight and now I can't even seem to get up on my own"

Yu sees Koro and Sukke in the devil's eye of the other world, but there was no abnormality in both HP and condition.

"... maybe it will rank up"

Lena, who regained consciousness, comes to Yu's side, but she was slightly flustered about whether she was still ill or not.

"Rank up or... Rank up if you get a higher level?

"... I have no complete idea about ranking up. There are various theories that some scholars rank up if they get to the next level, and some scholars rank up if they keep eating demon balls."

Lena is breathing because we talked unusually long.

"Ah, my lord, the colo and the sucker"

When Marifa noticed that Coro and Sucke's body was glowing away, the light eventually enveloped the two, and when the light subsided, there was an unusual coro and sucker there.

Koro originally had black hair that was even more pitch-black and his body was bigger around, and his tail was thick and resembled the tail of a fox. Because the colour of the hair went from black to white and the volume of the hair increased further, Sucke looked like a sheep and only the tip of the tail was visible.

"Oh, I've never seen a demon rank up moment before.

That black one over there is Shadowwolf, and that white one over here is Sheepwolf. You're both Rank 3 demons. "

"Right. I'll see Ode first."

At the end of the rank up, the two that got better enough to think it was a lie to have been squatting until just now run around the Yu's.

"Colo! Don't stop licking your husband's face! Don't sneak into my skirt, either!

Are the two of them well enough to squeeze around without listening to Marifa?

"... and here too"

"It's a fluffy tail."

Yu and Marifa hang out until the two settle down, during which time Lalit and the others strip away the material and demon balls.

"Yu, the stripping is over. Rank 5 demon balls were taken from Elder Trent. And then Yu asked me to pick up the remaining branches from Elder Trent's charcoal extinguishing. What's going on with this stuff?

"That Elder Trent has wind protection in its inherent skills, and even though it has been extinguished, it still has wind protection in its branches."

"Ho - did you use the analysis at that distance?

"Well, that's the place. Let me buy those branches over here."

"You're making more than three months just today, I don't mind. How's Eckhardt?

"I don't mind Ode either. Three hundred gold coins of Lang Five's complete magic balls."

From the crate that appeared when we defeated Elder Trent.

Silver Spear (Grade 4): Spike Enhancement

Poison Axe (Lv5): Constant chance of poisoning when attacking

Spiritual Tree Branches (Grade 4): Strange Branches with Spiritual Power

"Eckhardt, that shield won't help. You can use the Obsidian iron shield you just got."

"That'll help."

"Well, let's renew the grant magic and get going"

"Ho ho."

"... ok"

"Yes, sir."

Nina and the others reply well, but Lalit, I can't think of the look on Eckhardt's face.

"It's a labyrinth no one has attacked yet. Let's not rush off."

"Right. Ode agrees with Lalit."

It was hell from there for Lalit and Eckhardt.

From Level 14, Rank 5 demons appear mixed with Rank 4 demons. Murder Beetle launches powerful attacks with horns on strong crusts, green slime specializing in poison attacks, Mad Mantis with paralyzing effects on sharp sickles, Dragonfly coming under attack with superior flying ability, Bloody Trent with bleeding attacks.

Lalit to an unprecedented variety of attacks, Eckhardt prepares to die many times, but each time Yu repeatedly defeats the attack, recovery, and aids. By the time they reached the sixteenth layer, the two stopped talking much. On the eighteenth layer, the colors were slightly missing from the eyes, slaughtering the demons as pale as an emotionless machine on the twentieth layer.

Finally, we reach between 22 layers of crystal.

"Finally, it took quite a while between the crystals. Renew Grant Magic to get in."

"Wait!

Lalit screams, whose emotions have been lost like machines until now.

"Mr. Lalit, what's wrong?

"It will be enough for today. So far, I've got two levels. It's unusual for a guy like me to get two levels in a day. orefrog, ouchihefrog"

"O, so much so that I think Ode is enough for today. Ode, gaelida indana"

I acknowledge that Yu will also return to their overly desperate plea.

Today alone, Lalit had two levels up, and Eckhardt had three levels up.

It was caused by Yu's style of defeating everything without avoiding a battle with the demons.

When Yu and the others returned to the entrance with the transfer stone, the junctionists were about to finish the task of connecting to the dungeon entrance. Joseph was stubborn like a child, but when Yu and the others ignored him and left, he rushed after him.

Returning to the Adventurer Alliance, many adventurers sent congratulatory words to the Yus.

"Lalit, you did it! I thought you'd be C-ranked someday, but finally!

"Eckhardt - Looks like a troll. Are you a C-rank too? Congratulations!"

"Nina, marry me ~"

"Lena, how about dinner to celebrate?

"I raised Yu."

In the confusion of the words of blessing, Joseph said a joke, but Yu ignored it.

Lalit and Eckhardt were crying, but it was not a joyful cry, but a tear of relief from being safely returned to the city Cummer.

"I'm back alive!"

"I thought Ode would die this time."
