Chapter 169 – Labyrinth

The slubber labyrinth was located in the middle of the city.
It wasn’t in the middle
I heard that this happened as the city grew around the labyrinth.
Marie drove her wagon into the labyrinth.
It was time to attack the labyrinth, since we had become a full-fledged adventurer party.
Walls within the city.
An unfamiliar landscape appeared.
After passing the wall, I saw a large circular building in the center of the basin with a slightly lower ground.
The wall was built around the basin around the building.
”Did I prepare for a monster to come out of the labyrinth?’
Otherwise, there seemed to be no reason to build a wall around the labyrinth.
The place seen from the entrance of the building was full of humans.
Armed people were seen entering the building, showing their pass to the soldier at the entrance.
We also left the wagon at the wagon management office and headed towards the entrance of the building.
When the soldier inspecting the pass came out and saw Liliana, he was startled, but everyone passed safely and entered the building.
Aside from having a lot of people.
There were various shops along the outer wall of the building, so it felt like a shopping mall.
“The first floor of the labyrinth is underground. Those who want to use the deep teleport magic circle can go to the second floor of the building.”
A pretty attendant at the central desk was guiding adventurers along the way.
“Ohh. There’s even a teleport magic circle, so it seems like you put a lot of effort into it.”
Liliana said with interest.
She said that the scale of the labyrinth was bizarrely large, and it seemed that she even installed a teleportation magic circle.
It’s the first day.
As planned, we decided to explore lightly from the first floor.
Going down the stairs leading to the basement, a large space with numerous pillars appeared, and numerous caves were pierced along the wall.
The hunting parties that had descended underground were disappearing into the cave one by one.
Looking at the equipment and magic state of the people entering, the first floor of the labyrinth seemed like a beginner hunting ground in terms of games.
We also chose one of them and went in without hesitation.
A dark cave with no light greeted us.
Luna cast light magic.
Let’s walk through the dismal cave for a while.
A pleasant quest completion message popped up.
〈 Entered Abyss Erosion Labyrinth.〉
〈 Quest Completed.〉
〈 Gain 10 Skill Points.〉
〈 Acquire party creation skill.〉
〈 Acquire 1 Hero Summon Confirmation Ticket.〉
〈new quest.〉
〈Quest: Deal with the erosion in the labyrinth.〉
〈 Intermediate Erosion Body Treatment: Skill Points 1〉
〈Greater Erosion Object Treatment: Skill Points 5〉
〈 Superior Erosion Object Treatment: Skill Points 10〉
〈 Overmind Processing Reward: ?〉
〈 Abyss Erosion Erosion objects in the labyrinth have extra experience.〉
An insanely long message.
The new quests are similar to the zombie world… But where are the low-level corrosive quests going?
And an unfamiliar quest called the Transcendental Body stood out.
Compensation is also unknown.
‘What is the party creation skill again?’
I decided to go back and take a closer look and erased the message from sight.
“Ohhh…The space is distorted.”
Said Liliana, who looked around.
“The space is distorted?”
“Yes, this will not be the basement of the slubber.”
Is it like a gate?
The gate’s characteristic curtain was not visible.
Among the closed gates, there was an environment similar to this one.
Originally, almost all of the closed gates in the world were cleared.
It is known that organized closed gates are usually managed by the guild or country that attacked them.
It seems similar yet different.
-Kiruk. Kiruk!
Not long after entering, a monster appeared.
Small body and long nails.
Glowing dark red skin.
It looked familiar.
“Is it a goblin? It seems a bit different… But it looks bad…”
Isla said, frowning.
As she quickly drew her bowstring, the goblin shot her through the head with an arrow, killing her.
It comes from the F-class rift of the original world.
Hunters were similar to monsters called goblins.
Liliana and Luna were carefully examining the fallen monster.
“It’s the first monster I’ve ever seen… Interesting.”
“It’s definitely a strange monster.”
Liliana put her monster into her own subspace.
Are you thinking of dissecting…
After that, we went deeper and deeper as we dealt with the monsters that often popped up.
The cave was like an ant nest.
It was a good structure to get lost in.
“Can I go back to this?”
It is not a simple road.
I felt that way too late.
“No problem.”
Ayla said.
Do you have a good brain?
Or, since he said he was an elf ranger, he might have a means to find his way.
She believed in her and went deeper.
I also met another adventurer party.
Is it connected to another cave?
Or is it the party that came before us?
Among them, there was no human who knew how to handle mana.
Seeing our behavior (Liliana’s behavior to be exact), we made a strange expression and then disappeared to another place while noticing.
It was strange to think that there was a human wearing a black dress in this rough place.
The deeper we went, the more monsters attacked.
And in a small cavity, I found a party being attacked by monsters.
– Right. Right.
It was an unfamiliar monster that I had never seen before.
Eyes that glow in the dark.
He has a big head, so at first glance he looks like a child.
However, the mouth was bizarrely torn all the way.
The sharp teeth like saw blades visible through them seemed to be the main weapon.
2 boys and 1 girl.
I think there were originally 4 people…
One of her companions was already seen rolling on the floor, half-eaten.
Two men were desperately fighting the monster with swords and spears as weapons.
The woman looked like a wizard wearing a robe and holding a staff.
Black hair tied back gently.
Upon closer inspection, she was a 3rd circle wizard with a pretty and cute face.
He was a high-class talent who did not hang out with men.
“Aaah!!”
“Brother Charles!!”
A monster clung to the thigh of a man called Charles.
-Suddenly.
The young man quickly struck the neck of the monster attached to Charles’ thigh. His throat was cut and his body fell, but the monster’s head was still clinging to his thigh.
“Keugh!”
Charles struggled to remove the monster’s head. There was a handful of flesh dug in there.
The wizard woman just watched it restlessly.
‘Did I use up all my mana?’
At that time, a young man who found us shouted with desperate eyes.
“Please help me!!”
At that sound, the party members look at me.
Ayla and Luna didn’t seem to have much inspiration because they were human.
Marina Liliana also looked at her as if she was asking about my intentions.
Even though they’re lame guys.
The men might not know it, but that female wizard was a waste of talent to die here.
She agreed to help her.
He reached out his hand and cast her spell.
“Gravity.”
At my spell, about fifteen monsters rise into the air.
They struggled in the air, not knowing what to do.
As I clenched my fists, they united into one mass.
A small magic orb was created at the end of the staff he was holding in his left hand.
It is a closed cave.
If you don’t want to be buried alive, you have to control your power well
“Explosion.”
A small Explosion that flew from the tip of the staff hit the people in the air and exploded.
-Pop!
The monsters shattered all at once.
– Hooded!
The blood and flesh of the monster exploded in Explosion spilled over the heads of the party I saved.
The humans who had been covered with the blood and flesh of monsters out of nowhere were making puzzled faces.
“Ugh~ What are you doing messy?”
Ayla scolded me for that, but I did my job just by saving their lives. It was none of my business that they get dirty.
Rather than that, I was admiring the power of my own magic.
Items were also important.
I was satisfied with the smooth connection of the advanced magic.
“Heh.”
“What is ‘huh’? While using ignorant psychokinesis, isn’t it called gravity?
Liliana’s cute complaints did not reach my ears.
Even if you go to Moro, you just have to go to Seoul.
I saw something shiny on the floor.
In terms of size, it is an F-class magic stone.
I lifted it up with telekinetic power and brought it.
“I think I caught more than fifteen, but no luck. Only one.”
“Hmm? They said there was a magic crystal inside the monster’s body, so that’s what you said. It’s amazing.”
Liliana, who saw the magic stone, said.
The eyes of the party I saved were focused on the magic stone.
“No way… Are you going to claim this as yours?”
“Oh, no.”
The young man I rescued hung his head in vehement denial. And he suddenly got down on his knees at me.
“Please save us!!”
“Huh? You saved me.”
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have the strength to go out of the labyrinth anymore. If you leave it alone, we will eventually become food for the monsters.”
I looked around them.
The young man and the wizard woman looked fine, but the man named Charles suffered significant leg injuries.
The sorceress is also depleted of mana, so she probably has no combat abilities. The bottom line is that this young man alone must take care of the two of them and go out of the labyrinth.
A female wizard also came to the side of the young man and bowed her head to me.
“Please.”
Her voluptuous breasts were visible through the robes that hung down her neck.
Even though it was stained with blood from the monster I had killed, the face was also pretty.
It was a waste of beauty to die in a labyrinth like this.
“…Have mercy on me.”
“Go, thank you.”
There was nothing more to see on the first floor of the labyrinth, where there were only pitiful monsters anyway.
Having seen enough, I thought of going back today.
