World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Not only did Mr. Dylan give us the medallion, he still seemed to have something to tell us.

"I think we already have a circular, but you will be allowed to stay in District Five for the next seven days on special terms. You guys are supposed to be eligible to go as far as District Six, but coming to District Five is only by request, and I want you to consider it special. I understand that you are being disrespectful to the most meritorious in stampede suppression. But rules are rules."

Seven days - a week. In those days, we have to help Luwi.

"We need permission to enter the five-star labyrinth. I've talked to Mr. Louisa, but Commander Dylan, if you have the authority to give me that permission..."

Mr. Dylan shakes his head. The rule is the rule - that's where the guild saber stands.

"You guys are going to get a special contribution with the Stampede crackdown. If you add that value and the contribution figures raised in District Five, you'll be able to give permission in a few days. I've already fulfilled the condition of defeating" Named "in Ward 5."

"A few days..."

It's better to be a day early. As soon as you're in shape, but - then.

If you could just ask Commander Dylan, who's admitting to us, to give us permission here.

- Alicht.

He pulls his sleeve and looks back. Elitia shook her head - like she flattered me.

"You guys have strength. It's a rare power as a party… we can nurture it and move on as much as we can. Eventually, we'll officially go through District Five and go further. Faster walks than any other party."

"... Yes"

"Lord Atobe, Lord Couselka and Lord Hoslow will also stay for a few days. In the meantime, you said you wanted me to contact you whenever you needed anything."

"Okay. Thank you for telling me."

Commander Dylan and Mr. Nayuta walk away. When Elitia let go of my sleeve, she makes me laugh - it didn't look like she was well.

"I'm so happy with Alicht's feelings... but we can't rush him too fast. I know because I've seen Monkey Horse before. If I can't do it, someone will... so..."

…………

Theresia approaches the elitist - so that she doesn't have to worry. But Elitia shook her head.

"It doesn't make sense if everyone isn't safe...... so. If you can get stronger and come here in order from District Six..."

"No... we could have fought in District Five as well. If you were able to defeat the Death Stalker, it shouldn't mean it won't work at all in the labyrinth of Ward Five. There may be a labyrinth where you can dive with three stars. There are ways to increase levels there."

"I think I should do the same because I need a contribution in District Five. Because even though I'm just another step away, if I spend the last seven days in another district, I'm sure I'll regret it."

At the word of Mr. Fifty Storms, Elitia was still cruising - but eventually, she nodded quietly.

She continues to grind. The desire to help Luwi more than anyone else, and the desire not to hurt his people - but that's not the only thing Elitia has.

"You should also be able to gain experience in this Fifth District. Our level is probably the lowest we have in District 5 right now... if we just raise one level, we'll be fighting faster in this district than in District 6"

"... ok. I will also gather information on the right labyrinth to raise the level in District 5"

That's what Elitia says, trying to walk down a busy street with a street, not in the direction of the quarters.

"Elitia, you should get some rest now. Earlier in the fight, you got hurt too..."

Elitia looks back when she tries to call it off, but never stops her leg. Control your people trying to follow you, she says - with a smile.

"Because even if I still go back to my quarters, I'm not going to feel expensive and get a quick rest. Don't worry about the injury... I'll be back before it's too late"

The time available for collecting information is also limited beyond a limited period of time. I think we should respect Elitia's judgment, but I still feel comfortable watching her.

"... Mr. Elitia has experience of being in District Five, right? You may know more about this district than I do."

"Right...... right. Let's go back to our quarters and wait for our return."

Elitia's figure is no longer visible by turning the corner of the alley.

A little sooner - I know how that feels. But that's why we have to be cool. I had to believe that now that Elitia knew that too.

◆ ◇ ◆

When I first came to District Five, I entered a labyrinth called The Mysterious Lake as part of the third party of The White Night Brigade.

The labyrinth is not the easiest in the Fifth Ward. But even I, who was level seven, was able to join the fight, and I went up to level eight.

At that time, Luwi was with me. He healed my wounds with healing skills.

- Ellie, I'm sorry. Because I hurt you like this and my recovery was slow......

- That's not true. I have to try a little harder, too, to be a swordsman you can count on.

- I'm still counting on Ellie. It's been that way ever since we first met.

Le Willi used his skill called 'Heelwind' to heal my wounds. The wind gently envelops my body and heals my wounds - Lewie's skill was magical.

Many reincarnated people want to use magic to choose that kind of profession. But only a small part of it was aptitude, and very few people could be 'healers' who could also do magical things with a recoverable profession.

But my brother - the captain didn't try to heal his wounds with Lewie's skill.

I don't know why my brother did that. He said the profession of 'healer' was useful for the brigade, but even where Lewi could be helped, he sometimes used potions to recover.

Since my brother has changed, I don't know what he's thinking. Before I was reincarnated, I wasn't that close - but like right now, I wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't listen to anyone else's thoughts at all.

- Is Elitia a 'swordsman'? Given the balance, I was glad you got it about the guard position.

Maybe there were signs from the beginning. My brother began to try to do what he wanted with everything around him because of the labyrinth attack - since my father, who was the leader, was wounded and my brother became the leader of the regiment, until then my father, who had ever honored my brother, had less to give his opinion.

I was finally just following everyone. The level was always lower than the party average and I was pulling my legs - to change that situation, my brother gave me the Scarlet Emperor Sword.

- With this, you may be able to contribute regardless of level. I'll give you another chance, even if you couldn't use it.

- Even my poorly done sister, it would be helpful if she could be of some help.

"... eh"

I knew my brother didn't feel worthwhile putting me at the party.

When he was able to equip himself with the "Scarlet Emperor Sword," his brother rejoiced with his eyes sparkling like a boy. I felt ashamed of myself for flattering my brother to make a place - still.

Being able to stay in the brigade. I was glad I couldn't stay away from Luwi.

(... I'm the same as Sirone. I don't deserve to blame for that girl)

I was just lucky. Wielded by "Scarlet Emperor Sword," knowing that was a dangerous force - I used it many times and relied on it.

Had it not been for Suzuna, I might have hurt one of my people.

Suzuna was there, and she stopped me - that we all came to this Fifth Ward was really nothing but a miracle.

I don't want to lose it. I don't want any of you to get hurt.

But trying to help Lewilli puts a lot of pain on my people. I knew it, but as I fought the demons of Ward V, I was even more scared now.

With this party, we can go a long way ahead. Avoiding a labyrinth where even guild sabers don't give a hand is something others take for granted.

My wishes may interrupt everyone's dreams.

- I want Theresia back to being human. That's what Alicht wants most, and I definitely want it to come true for you.

In a five-star labyrinth, I'm the only one who can get in. I didn't tell the Alichts about it.

When I was in the 'Brigade', I was qualified. As an individual who hasn't partied, I can dive into the labyrinth without raising karma for violating the rules.

(... look for Luwi. But...... if Luwi is already...)

She must be alive. Yes, they all believed me - even me, I want to believe.

But the labyrinth is never nice to us.

So before everyone else, I have to face it. I couldn't help Luwi then, alone.

Everyone's face comes to mind. I know I'm making you worry, and I can't get out of being childish forever, and I can't even act like I'm not making everyone worry.

"... because I'll be right back. So just a little..."

My legs trembled as I missed the road to the entrance to that labyrinth terribly.

Even as the sun sets, the streetlight is brilliantly lit around. It is not recommended that the guild saber approach, which permeates the searcher, with little appearance of man.

Round columns of red metal. If you dive between them and go down the stone stairs - that's the 'Red Tower of Fire'.

In the lights of the flaming streetlights, I stand up. Only my own heart is present, beating my heartbeat in pain.

"- Think bad at all."

I hear a man talking from nearby, and I turn back to me. Two seekers are talking about The Red Tower of Fire.

"Seekers subordinated to demons are certified to demons after a certain period of time. Well, maybe that's what guild policy says..."

- That was one of the most unlikely possibilities I wanted to think about.

If the Seeker becomes subhuman, and if he ever strikes a man, he will be the object of a crusade. That means it's considered a demon.

But the other thing is, in guilds, it's set as a rule.

If a searcher is obeyed by a demon and hostile to another searcher - the license discerns that the searcher who sided with the demon is also a demon.

"You're relentlessly going to kill me over there, so I guess that won't help. But it's like getting gear for a manipulated Seeker..."

"That's in the middle of an invisible night, too, I can't believe it. What you're doing isn't the same as a night burglar or anything..."

"Talk about it now...... is that true? The people who said that went into this labyrinth...?

"Huh... what, how long have you been asking?

You don't realize I was right behind you, and the two men are surprised - but I can't care less about that, and I'm stuffed by one of them who was talking.

"Were you among those manipulated seekers' healers'? Please, answer me!

"Yes, no... there's not so much information out there, but most people in this precinct would know that 'Monkey Marquis' subordinates the Seeker"

"Oh... hey. This sword is not from The White Night Brigade..."

"Oh, oh... well. Even that" White Night Brigade "talked about giving up full offense and retreating. If someone was caught at that time, they might have already treated him like a demon..."

"... I won't... I won't let you... Huh!

I run out - before I ran between the red pillars, I heard the men's calls from behind, but I couldn't stand it.

After the sensation of metastasis, it spread in front of me were trees with burning red leaves - a fortress built by the 'Monkey Marquis' on the second level, just past this forest.

The hallmark of this labyrinth is the absence of demons other than the family of the 'Monkey Horse'. Guildsaber does not see it as a dangerous labyrinth because it never wakes up 'Stampede'.

If you are qualified, you are free to explore, and no matter what happens, it will be the party's own fault.

If you're a high level party, it's not strange to be able to attack this labyrinth - still, 'Monkey Hou' has survived for a long time. For that harvest, it's 'named', which is supposed to be targeted with the knowledge of danger.

That's because the "Monkey Horse" 's obedient power includes subordinated Explorers - humans.

(If you activate 'Red Eye' on my level, I'm sure you can keep up with 'Monkey Marquis' moves as well. If my people were targeted...... they could get hurt again, just like they did when "The Calamity". But if it's just me...)

Find Le Willi's figure. And get him out of the labyrinth - if only that were possible.

Even if it is manipulated, there must be a way to free it. If you've come this far, I'll be sure to take Luwi home.

(If Luwi was found by another Explorer, he would be targeted for his life... Luwi, the 'healer', wore something precious even with his rear guard gear because he was an important healer. high value in the market, even if it is not well used by others)

"... Huh!

I don't want to regret it anymore. Losing someone you care about in front of you.

Abandoning Luwi, who has abandoned him, once again - never, can't.
