Episode Five: Estock Blur

The first layer of the labyrinth.

The lowest level is the first hierarchy of this labyrinth down to a hundred floors. The demons that emerge are also weak, with only the level of demons that wild beasts that live in the open are more awkward.

There are two girls walking by surprise. The one leading the way was Lil, an experienced bender.

Koro walks on the lil with a firm foothold while making the sight of the labyrinth uncommon for the first time in.

"It's bright inside."

Colo twinkles as he enters the labyrinth to the unexpected fact he first learns, including confusion.

An underground labyrinth, but unexpectedly a constant amount of light is maintained. The structure is close to the cave, but there are parts of the labyrinth where the passage itself is slightly lit.

For Colo, who first entered the labyrinth, the lights seemed strange. In closed spaces such as caves, it was basically her common sense to be closed to the dark.

"Yes, it is. That's how light stays in most of the upper floors."

Lil, who has also been here several times as part of a school class, has no doubt or surprise because he recognizes it as such. I am convinced not to think deeply about how it works to explain Lil.

"But what's a labyrinth aisle, this?"

I want to see the walls close to me. The feel is close to the tree. Rather, the floors and walls are clearly made of wood. Though verses, cobs, etc. are popping up by the way, it was uneven with the labyrinth I had imagined.

It's underground, so I thought it was made of rock like a cave, and it's a solid wall. As it looks, it is close to a very well maintained pit.

"Something's very solid."

"Yeah. The materials on the labyrinth walls and floors are like trees. It seems to be quite strong and rarely breaks."

"Heh. You're stiff, this"

"Yeah. You think that's why even advanced adventurers can't scratch one? Although there are structural differences from hierarchy to hierarchy, the walls and ground of the labyrinth are like this everywhere, so there are tons of demo theories about whether the labyrinth is inside a giant plant in a society that specializes in the labyrinth."

"Are you in a big plant? That's a little exciting!

Feeling romance in Lil's words talking about receiving and selling from school classes, Colo touches the wall nearby. The texture does belong to a tree. But it's hard everywhere and it won't hurt. I tried putting my nails up gently, but it didn't look like it was working.

"But is this in the plant? I mean, if this was in the plant...... it's sooo big, right?

"So that's a ton of demo theory. First of all, if it's really a plant, there's no way it's completely hollow inside. Plant tubes are meant to get nutrients or to get moisture through, so it makes sense that they are cavities that people can get through."

Lil flushes it well and interrupts the lecture.

At the end of his gaze, there was a rabbit.

It is a demon. At first glance, it is no different than a rabbit on earth, but it is a demon with a hard head to do it and tears its head out with a leap that makes use of it. Named the Stone Bunny Rabbit, its demon is one of the weakest in this labyrinth.

"Stone Bunny Rabbit...... Hmm. I will hunt you."

The stone bunny that comes with a belligerent gaze has no decisive killing power. A head punch similar to a body by leap is the only way to attack, so even if it hits a level one person critically, it just hurts a lot.

"Watch it, Coronel. My Rapier can pierce any mighty demon!

Knowing the weakness of the stone bunny, Lil pulls Rapier out of his waist in a spirit.

Anyway, it is today's first battle. I set up a rapier to show him my gorgeous sword moves, and he consolidated.

"Ah, alas………?

The stone bunny is only about the size of a rabbit as it is named.

Their heads are below human knees. It is a very difficult position for Rapier, mainly the spike, to pierce. Moreover, the difficulty is increased even more because it jumps and moves mixed movements up and down.

Of course, a person with proper mastery of Rapier's technology could stick it without difficulty, but it was more difficult for a lil to just hold the basics.

But Lil is a man who doesn't admit he can't do what he can't.

"Heh, heh, that's a good handle."

I don't have a handful or anything in the first place, but I cover up my immaturity with just strength.

Lil focuses on his body to protrude Rapier. I twist my body halfway around and release a timing poke all over me.

"I'll go. Special, Estock Bluff!?

"Master Lildor huh!?

A leaping stone bunny eats a head poke at Lil's torso and shuts him up. Even the weakest demons without wisdom, however strong their physical abilities are by their level, were easy winners, such as feeding a lil full of gaps with no loco technology.

After a brilliant and successful firing, the Stone Rabbit attempted to redirect the next target to the Colo, simultaneously with the landing.

The person you encounter is unexpectedly weak. I instinctively decided that this would be no big deal.

A stone bunny who tried to burn his will and move on to the second shot, but his neck jumped lightly.

"Are you okay, Master Lildor?"

"Gu, ho. Hey, I'm just a little alarmed."

The stone bunny was dusty when Lil raised his face patiently.

Colo pulled out his sword without rushing over and gently severed the rabbit's neck.

Stopped life activities, the stone bunny disappears into dust. Lil dropped off the sight with surprise.

"Oh, you knocked him down?

"Yes. Labyrinth demons don't leave corpses, do they?"

Colo snorts, not proud of his achievements.

The demons of the labyrinth do not leave their bodies behind. Sometimes the material is dropped, but it is automatically stored in the Adventurer card, so only a handful of dust remains there.

"Yeah, yeah. Receive the energy that makes up the demon and we'll increase our level. As the Adventurer Card sucks it away, the demon becomes dust. That energy is commonly known as" experience. "

"Hmm. Can't you take the fur or the meat?

"You can't. And when there's a drop, it's automatically stored on the Adventurer Card."

"Amazing!

Again, Colo didn't care how fine it worked or anything, he just admired its features.

By knocking down demons and turning them into dust, the Adventurer takes up the level by absorbing the experience points that comprised the demons. All the energy that makes up the demon, "Experience", accumulates in the Adventurer Card and is automatically consumed to a certain standard, increasing the level of the owner.

"This experience is handy, and in addition to raising the level, you can fill and nourish hunger and heal wounds by consuming it."

"Ooh. That's really amazing, this"

"Yeah, I don't even know how it works."

The Adventurer Card works in the Adventurer Guild and then in the country's black box. It's not about Lil knowing.

"I can fill my hunger……!

"Well, you can't use adventurer cards outside the labyrinth except for a very small part of them."

"Eh."

Somewhere in the explanation touched the harp line, Colo, who glistened his face and put up an adventurer card, is clearly disappointed.

"Is that so... No, but if you're sorry for all the meals in the labyrinth..."

"Stop it. It's a waste of time to replenish your experience."

Lil's words are by luxurious people who don't know about hunger, but on one side they are also true. Regardless of replacing experience with meals in an emergency or diving for a long time, it is often useless to consume experience to save on daily food costs.

"Make it so, Colonel. It doesn't mean you can't fight at all."

"Huh? Ah, yes. I used to teach them how to fight, and when I was in the mountains and villages, I used to hunt."

Colo affirms to Lil, who somehow looks great when he says he was attacked for nothing.

"Hunting, is. So you can learn how to use your sword?

"Yes. When I was in the mountains and villages, I used to hunt with my sword, like rabbits and deer and boars and bears."

"What?"

Lil blinked, smiling and saying something strange to Colo.

It was Lil's chest that naturally questioned how much he would be able to do that to a colon that was just a beast, that is, just an ordinary person and had only a girl's physical abilities.

The level does not rise unless you possess an adventurer card and hunt demons in the labyrinth. No matter how many beasts we hunt outside the labyrinth, we cannot hope for evolutionary growth that transcends the boundaries of men.

"Sword, so? Isn't that usually a bow or something?

Some hunting is also an aristocratic entertainment. In light of that perception, I thought that hunting was something that uses flying tools.

To such a lil, Colo laughs lightly.

"Ah, haha. Well, I also learned the bow, but I couldn't do it. Especially when it's a bear or a boar or something, it was faster to do a spa with a sword..."

In order to deceive the illumination, the colo is left naked and barebacked.

"Bears, with swords, spa......?

Lil is puzzled by the gap between his common sense and whether a living human being could fulfill and spat a bear with a sword.

By the way, it wasn't until beyond the fifth tier that demons with the equivalent of wild bears emerged. Low-level demons are only more dangerous in their habit of aggressively attacking humans than wild animals, and normal beasts and poisonous beasts are so much higher in strength and nastiness.

"So I don't think there's anything like pulling Lil 'Doll's leg yet if this is about it! No need to dismantle it. Well, the labyrinth is as easy as it gets!

"Yes, it is."

Lil had no choice but to agree to a colo like that with his neck shaved.

"Fair enough. I'll go anyway, Colonel."

"Yes!"

Only Lil makes seniors breeze in front of the colo. Colo seems more useful than I thought. That's what I think, it excites my heart.

Technology shown by Level One beginners. And the ugliness that level fifteen myself showed.

Comparing it unconsciously, pretending not to notice the emotions in her breasts that had spread to stain her deliberately black, Lil moved forward in a brightly lit labyrinth with her tips in the dark.
