I didn't know there was a labyrinth in this forest... but it was sealed and the Marignant was after it.

The Goblin Labyrinth and Angori Ruins have also had labyrinths before, and anomalies have occurred, but what kind of things are these labyrinths causing?

What exactly does the sealed labyrinth look like?

"Honestly, we don't know the details either... but the sacred tree called the Spirit Tree has become a labyrinth"

"Huh!? Is it okay for the spirit tree to become a labyrinth...?"

"To be precise, it still operates as a spirit tree, but it seems to be partially eroded."If it hadn't been for the Spirit Tree, the entire forest might have become a labyrinth by now. It appeared suddenly about 500 years ago, and at that time, it seemed that they had joined forces with the Great Spirits to rule the anomaly. "

Five hundred years ago... it was definitely time for Lord Testeudo to fight the demons in Severia.

If there was a labyrinth here by that time, I think it might have something to do with it.

Besides, the spirit tree was eroded into a labyrinth, which is a pretty tricky class I've heard before.

The Goblin Labyrinth also suddenly appeared in the forest, but I wonder if there are any conditions.

Estelle is also putting her hands on her cheeks, and she is asking questions about the labyrinth with a troubled face.

I wonder what a labyrinth really is when a spirit tree becomes a labyrinth.

The labyrinth you've been conquering isn't quite clear after all, is it?

"What!? Have you ever broken through a labyrinth?!"

"Yes, I've been to the deepest of the two."When it's overrun, the labyrinth will collapse and you'll never be able to enter again. "

"Was your ancestors' hypothesis correct after all..."

Mr. Gralier murmured as he listened to our story with a strange face.

The hypothesis of what I'm talking about... I wonder how I can destroy the Labyrinth?

"Our ancestors tried to break the labyrinth a long time ago.However, there was a vicious monster lurking inside, and it was as complicated as a maze, and I couldn't go on like I thought. "

"We've suffered a lot too..."After all, did you try to conquer the spirit tree in order to normalize it? "

"I looked into why the spirit tree had become a labyrinth, and thought that if I went to the deepest part, I would know something."Shortly after the labyrinth appeared, the spirit tree that originally protected the forest began to absorb spirits, perhaps causing a defensive reaction.Not only that, but the spirit tree that was supposed to not attract monsters began to generate even monsters called torrents. "

It seemed like the only monster in the forest right now was a sign that the Spirit Tree was starting to rampage.

If I left it alone, I could see that the forest was withered to the brim of hell, where only monsters were left.

"Therefore, the ancestors worked with the Great Spirit Lord to block the entrance, block off the labyrinth, and seal it up."Periodically, a spiritualist went to the land and kept it that way. "

"I know what happened, but I was surprised that the spirit tree had been eroded into a labyrinth."You can't even move to another land, can you? "

"There is a legend from our ancestors that we should protect the spirit tree."The Spirit Tree and the Great Spirit Lord are connected and we coexist.Even if there is no spirit tree, I don't want to leave this land. "

Looks like the Spirit Tree is important to the Elves.

The connection between the elves and the spirits seems strong, so you can't abandon it and run away.

Freesia, listening to Ms. Gralier, spoke of the Elves as if she remembered them.

"Elves don't want to leave the forest where they were born."

"Is that what it is?" You're about to jump out of the woods, but I'm surprised. "

"Eh, I wanted to get out of the woods!"But the chief didn't forgive me.I was the biggest hunter in my village, and my dad pushed me to be a watchman. "

Freesia doesn't seem to suit her sex because she's sitting still in the city.

But if he gets out on his own, it's going to cause a lot of trouble, and it's wise of him not to allow it.

... but that's what Freesia would do well to get to know people.

Well, don't think about it like that, it's weird now.

Is it true that Marignant has begun to force the labyrinth into action?

"Perhaps so. We had to maintain the seal on a regular basis, but he attacked us and couldn't do it."Sato also got injured in the fight with him, and now he's still asleep...The seal of the labyrinth is different from the boundary of the city, and it is always under constant load.It must have been broken through the place where the defeat occurred. "

"From the point of view of the Marignant, the main purpose of the labyrinth is to break the seal, and the forest will be eroded and the boundary of the Mile will not be maintained."Indeed, if you ask me that, you'll understand that obedience to the Elves was the same. "

I see, then I won't bother breaking the Elf Territory barrier.

If only the seal of the labyrinth were to be sealed, the spirit tree would be swallowed up, the forest would wither, and the elves would lose their place of residence.

That was the case with Severia, but it's just a way to cause anomalies and harm the opponent with subsequent phenomena without taking direct action.

I left the fight to Diabols until the end, and he was a real pain in the ass.

But if the purpose of the labyrinth in this forest was to be there, then the questionable part comes to mind in Marignant's subsequent actions.

Was Nol thinking the same thing, or did he say it before I said it?

"Why did Marignant come to Severia along the way?"Have you already achieved your goal? "

"I can't judge that, can I?"Have you already fulfilled your purpose, or did you activate the Labyrinth, but you can't deal with it yourself?I don't really understand the purpose of a demon. "

"I tried to conquer the labyrinth, but I didn't have enough strength, so I could think that I tried to use the Patron Saint to make up for it."Is it possible to seal the labyrinth again at this stage? "

"... I can't. If the fairy could wake you up, we wouldn't be able to do anything."It was possible that he could be delayed, but.... "

"Now that the great fairy is dormant and has fallen to the limit, even if she leaves this place, she will not be able to seal the labyrinth."If you think about it, it's not surprising that Marignant left here. "

Hmm, I can think of a lot of reasons for his behavior, but now that it's gone, I don't know what the real purpose is.

Considering his personality, he simply activated the labyrinth, and later left it alone to start a disturbance in Severia.

If this labyrinth swallows up the forest and runs wild, it could have a negative impact on nearby Queres.

As a result, Querés experienced a labyrinth anomaly, Sevaria was revived as a false patron saint, and so on... all at once.

If they were after it, would they end up taking advantage of the chaos and invading the country with their allies?

If you think about it like that, you might have planned something terrible... but the country seems to be unusually wary of demons, and maybe something else is happening that we don't know about.

While the anxiety was passing through, Sisha began to make some suggestions to Ms. Gralier.

"In the meantime, shall we recover Master Li?"Neither you nor the elves in this town are worried about this and can't work hard enough to solve the anomaly, right? "

"I want you to do that... but we've done everything we can to heal Mr. Sato."There is also a healing power in spirit magic.But I was under an advanced curse, and I was doing my best to maintain the status quo. ”

"Curse...? Marignant could have done something like that."You didn't do that when you fought us, did you? "

"Ufufu, you must have thought it was useless because I was here!"It's a good breakfast to decurse! "

That's right, Sisha-chan!

"No, that's not a normal curse."It will be hard to solve even a guru. "

"I'm embarrassed to have you lick me."Let me just look at the state for now. ”

"... All right. I'm sure we can't do anything about it."

Although she frowned and looked a little reluctant, Gralier accepted Sisha's proposal.

I know you're worried about entrusting us with the treatment of the weakened Li Chief who just arrived today, but accepting it right away really isn't something you can do.That's exactly what I wanted to do with the straw.

Mr. Gralier led him to another room, where a male elf slept in a bed made of plants.

Perhaps it was originally a middle-aged person who looked younger, but now her complexion is blue and she's distorting her face like she's dry.

To be honest, when I first saw it, I lost my words for a moment to the extent that I doubted whether I was still breathing.

Even more worrying is the appearance of black patterns on some parts of the face.Is that a sign of the curse?

Sisha approached and checked the condition of Sato-san.

"Hmm, it's a curse that causes various state abnormalities."Isn't Daiyuan a magic rampage inside her body... she's been asleep all this time? "

"At first, I was conscious, but recently I hardly woke up.You can't even get up, and the healing of the Spirit has managed to keep you alive. "

"I see, it looks like it was in a very serious state."But if it's a curse like this..... "

When Sisha said so, his body was wrapped in blue light.

Then the black smoke rose from her body and the black pattern on her face disappeared instantly.

"Yes, I was able to remove the curse."Okura-san, I want you to drink the hypotion, so can I have it? "

"Ah, ahhh... you really lifted the curse lightly."

"It's so much easier than defeating the Undead."I'm a guru. "

"Hmm, Sisha's divine powers are amazing."I don't want to deal with them either. "

"My negative power has been easily cleansed..."I've never seen anyone stronger among the gurus hunted down before. "

It was easy to decurse a curse that didn't even happen with the Elf's Spirit Magic, but only at such times was it really a god officer to rely on.

From Luna's and Martina's point of view, Sisha seemed to be a very powerful guru.

... I'm a little worried about being chased by a guru.

Perhaps because she had been able to break the spell so quickly, Ms. Gralier opened her mouth and stopped thinking.

Meanwhile, the guardian male elf who was in the room with him, asked him to confirm whether it was okay to drink the hypotion, and let the chief drink it.

As soon as I drank it, the blue complexion gradually turned red, and although it was thin, the vigor returned to my face.

Wow, that's a gacha healing potion.But by letting them drink this, you mean that Sisha's recovery magic wasn't enough.

I knew it was easy to decurse, but it was a pretty powerful curse.

Hmm, I wonder if the Marignant could really use such a curse... Let's consider the possibility of another demon cooperating.

After the entire treatment, Mr. Gralier finally let out a shout and wondered if he had returned to his senses.

"Oh, you really lifted my father's curse!?"Ah... did this really lift the curse? "

"Yes, now that the rampage of magic has healed, the danger to life is gone."While inflicting severe pain and weakening, it was damaging every part of the body and even cutting off vitality.But I'm not going to wake up for a while.The underlying vitality has been drained a lot, so we have to heal slowly. ”

"It's just enough that you've escaped the crisis of life.""...... No, thank you for saving my father."

Ms. Gralier leaned closer to her sleeping father without waking up and wept at the edge of her eyes. Her tone was a little softer and her shoulders felt as if the load had dropped.

I see... you must be the daughter of Sato-san.So now that your father has fallen, you were acting for him?

There must have been quite a lot of pressure on her to be entrusted to represent her father in a state of near-death when something very unusual happened.

I'm also convinced that he had a hard-on attitude when he came to warn us.I am glad that I have reduced my worries by one in order to solve the anomalies together.

We need to end this mutation quickly, for the sake of the forest elves and for our purposes.
