00172 #7 – Admit me, evil spirit
#7 – Admit me to evil spirits (22)
While Lina and the nanny advanced deep into the middle floor, we were quietly waiting in our seats without being attacked.
“boss! I just returned from joining Kuro.”
“Where is the enemy?”
“none.”
“yes?”
“No.”
I went straight up to the sealing gate with the dumb Kuro and Cheongil.
Dorothy had a bewildered expression on her face as well.
“Husband. Why aren’t the monsters coming?”
“Lina kicked them all out.”
“yes?”
“By the way, I’m chasing right now. The nanny is going down deep into the labyrinth together to protect Lina.”
“Then what should we do?”
what do you do what do you do
“Get out of the labyrinth. Many of the monsters in the upper floors escaped to the labyrinth city, and there must have been a lot of unrest. Let them know that Monster Wave’s main force was stopped from this side.”
“How many people?”
“Rave and Dorothy, Cheongil. All but three are returned. It is no longer necessary to search for the temple of the evil god, so take the two useless priests with you. I leave that to Mosaic.”
With this, all the troublesome luggage was lifted and sent.
“We join Lina and the nanny to escape.”
“Eh.. is it okay to leave so simply? It seems that something related to the evil spirit also broke the pot, and something like that happened… I think something has changed with Mr. Nang.”
“It’s not a big deal, but I lost a little bit of power.”
“Yeah!?”
“It’s hard for me to explain, so follow me quietly.”
The time spent in vain is over. In order to receive God’s approval, from now on, he joins the remaining subordinates within the shortest time and escapes from the labyrinth.
* * *
Brahm Shi turned over.
The difficulty of the labyrinth suddenly rose, and the middle-level monsters appeared from the upper floors. Even Monster Wave exploded one after another. Meanwhile, the Black Mountain Society party has entered a labyrinth.
The question was raised whether Wilhelm Meyer would also die following the Annihilator and Caesar, and the earth was engulfed in extreme chaos.
“Rumors are rife that Wilhelm Meyer is dead. Isn’t this the right time to revolt by mobilizing adventurers for regime change?”
“The faction of the Archmage Heinz was one step behind in obtaining information because they were suffering from severe internal affairs. Now, when the other side is shaken, is the only chance to launch a surprise attack.”
“Guild Master. Make a decision quickly!”
Adventurer’s Guild Guild Leader Tekeli.
He had an extremely cautious personality.
“There are no reports of the elite party that went down to the labyrinth.”
“It’s too late to wait for that!”
“If Wilhelm Meyer is found alive after the rebellion. Do you have the confidence to take charge of that back then?”
All the members of the faction who uttered encouraging words kept their mouths shut.
Everyone’s complexion turned pale in front of the gaze that asked them to take responsibility.
Tekeli said he knew it, and clenched his tongue and folded his arms.
“Wait until the report arrives.”
This monster wave was exceptionally strong because the power of the upper level monsters became stronger. It’s a shame because they subjugated the upper class boss, Pharaoh, if they were alive, thousands of people would have died.
Although resentful, it cannot be denied that Wilhelm Meyer’s policy of attacking the labyrinth greatly contributed to the safety of Brahm.
When the monster wave barely stopped, two groups of survivors appeared from the labyrinth. One group was an elite party that was swept head-to-head by the monster wave and shattered as if the party was annihilated.
“Guild Master! There was no word that something like this would happen!”
“A lot of my subordinates died. How are you going to compensate for this?”
“I don’t think it would be fun if I wiped my mouth and pretended not to know.”
The chief hunter, Lightning Bishop, and the Giant Golem Master gave a threat.
The guild leader Tekeli asked with a frown.
“Wilhelm Meyer. Was the assassination successful?”
“It can’t be! A guy named Kurora mobilized adventurer killers to block the road and monitor it, then went down, the terrain changed, and all sorts of commotions occurred, and then a large number of monsters came.”
“In the end, the only limit was to run away without finding the secret weapon that Wilhelm Meyer had hidden.”
secret weapon. One unexpected word drew the attention of the guild chief of Tekeli.
“It’s a secret weapon. What else does that mean?”
“The gnomes left in the upper floors showed an action of scouring the interior of a certain area in the upper part of the artificially changed labyrinth.”
“As expected, there is something hidden in the labyrinth that we don’t know yet… Wilhelm Meyer. If you think you’ve caught up with one step, you’re a few steps ahead.”
I drool and suffer for a while.
The guild leader realized the point.
“After all, you guys went downstairs and didn’t do anything.”
“I didn’t do anything!”
“As a guy named Kurora was going down, I heard another member of the Black Mountain Society come and say something like this. I need help right away to get through the ordeal of the evil spirits.”
jump!
The guild leader left his seat and stood up.
“Why didn’t you say that first!”
“You didn’t ask.”
“Have you seen these incompetent bastards? Get it off!”
“Give me the pay off!”
“There is no remuneration to be paid to the losers. The content of the request is obviously to kill Wilhelm Meyer and reduce the power of the Church of the Evil God. The former failed, and what did the latter achieve?”
The party leaders clenched their teeth.
“We came through that nightmare monster wave.”
“I think I gave you valuable information.”
“You will regret it greatly if you neglect it in this way.”
Tekeli looked down at the party leaders with contemptuous eyes.
There is no food to feed the incompetent hounds.
“go away. After today, when I hear that you guys are being found in this city, I will give the whole guild a wanted order.”
The power of the guild leader of Tekeli is firm.
If you fight against it with force, only the strong under your command will face it.
The party leaders suppressed their resentment and left the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Now what? There is not even a compensation fee to pay to the families of the dead subordinates.”
“If you get kicked out of here, you have to move to another labyrinth city.”
“Considering the cost of treatment, I don’t even have the money to travel to another city. We are in a situation where we have to make money by selling our weapons.”
Despite receiving a serious commission to assassinate the king, they were completely destroyed. Anyway, if I continued the assassination, I would have met the nanny and would have been disappointed, so it is a fortunate result.
Of course, the parties did not think so because they were unaware of that fact.
“I must take revenge. Let’s give Tekelly a shot.”
“how?”
“Let us inform the opposition factions and the public authorities that Wilhelm Meyer is in crisis. As an added bonus, the Adventurers Guild also reports that they intentionally tried to cover up this fact.”
“That’s great!”
“I’ve provided valuable information if possible, so I’m going to ask for the cost of treatment and weapon repairs, and I’ll have to pay a hefty reward in return for telling lies about Tekeli.”
The three party leaders immediately went to the Heinz Archmage faction.
Of course, those who heard the news were stunned.
“What!? Is that Dreadlord in peril in the labyrinth? If it’s a monster wave like this, there’s nothing strange about what happens inside the labyrinth, but… Really? That fear lord?”
“Teckelly has always been reluctant. No wonder you are deliberately trying to control the information by concealing the King’s crisis.”
“Now we must detain Tekeli and send reinforcements to rescue His Majesty the King!”
Heinz gave strength to the faction members’ requests for salvation.
Previous Wilhelm Meyer might have ignored it.
However, now he has ceded power.
Wilhelm Meyer’s dream is to conquer the labyrinth.
If this fact does not change, we cannot ignore him to death.
The labyrinth is getting dangerous every moment.
“In conjunction with the Allied Forces and the Guard, we detain the Tekeli Guild Leader on the ground, and dispatch reinforcements to the Labyrinth!”
At the prompt instruction of the Archmage Heinz, even the elite party leaders sighed in relief. I was relieved to know that revenge was finally achieved and that a reward could be obtained.
But it was too early for them to be relieved. The Archmage Heinz made an unexpected request.
“I believe that if you have the skills to break through the monster wave and come to the ground, you will be able to guide the way. Please help us to complete the rescue operation with your labyrinth knowledge.”
“I don’t like it. We lost a lot of men and we need a break. Just give me the money you promised.”
“If the rescue is successful, I will pay three times the fee. But if you don’t cooperate with the rescue, I can’t pay you a single penny.”
They have already become hostile by smashing the back of the head of the Tekeli faction, one of the two factions that divide the city of Brahm. There is no back from being captured by the other Heinz faction here.
The party leaders succumbed to the idea of retaliating for revenge with the power of a large organization.
Thanks to the act of taking out the main hall, I was able to re-enter the labyrinth on my own feet. However, he took comfort in the fact that he was traveling with a force of three hundred men.
day. Two days. week. migration.
Time passed quickly and a month had passed.
Since it was right after the monster wave was over, there were few monsters that appeared, so the exploration was done quickly. They were able to enter the middle layer by adapting to the rapidly changing ecosystem in the labyrinth.
Not only was it a simple entry, but it was able to repeat the rapid advance to the B19 floor.
However, even though I have witnessed the discovery of the bodies of countless monsters and the scramble for the lower level monsters surrounding them, I could not find the trace of the Black Mountain Society party.
“Is it dead?”
“Look at the body. There is still a lot of it.”
“It must have gone deeper than this.”
The floor in front of this is the B20 floor.
It is the last layer of the middle layer.
At the same time, it is also the boss stage where the hierarchical boss is waiting.
If you add up the number of adventurers who died after failing to surpass the B10 level pharaoh over two years, the number easily exceeded hundreds. Even the hierarchical boss at the top of the labyrinth was like that, but what about the middle layer?
Everyone was afraid and entered the B20 floor. This floor consisted of a majestic canyon, a huge waterfall, and a vast lake flowing below it.
The sound of cool water seemed to clear the mind and body, but the rescue team felt extreme fear at the sight in front of them. It was more than just a sense of fear, it was even overwhelming.
“What’s this.”
The water was neither a chilly white light, nor a clear blue indigo color, nor a brilliant emerald color.
It was red as red as blood.
A bloody, rotting body vibrated all over the field, above and below the waterfall.
“Hey! A body in the water, a body in the water!”
“Heh heh! Bar, the floor is all covered with corpses!”
“What kind of monster lived in this world?”
The rescue team seriously considered retreating.
It was hard to believe that the Black Mountain Society party would survive in such a hellish spectacle.
However, I came back because I was afraid to explore more. It was a law that could not be reported to the superior. For the first time, even for the sake of condolences, we conducted a minimum of exploration.
The expedition was unnecessarily successful.
They noticed that the monsters living on the B20 floor were as quiet as dead mice, apart from the atrocious atmosphere. It felt like stepping into the ruins everyone had left behind.
While everyone moved anxiously to search, the elite party leaders secretly gathered and held an emergency meeting.
“The bandits were captured by Wilhelm Meyer. What if they divulged information about us?”
“The day we find Wilhelm Meyer will be our memorial day.”
“I will never be of any help in this expedition.”
As I woke up from an tacit agreement, the headhunter screamed in a tear in his throat.
“Ahhh!! stomach!! above!!!”
“What, what!?”
“Ugh!! Crazy… Isn’t this a floor boss?”
The three witnessed a huge statue of Lamia with their necks severed and palm-shaped punctures in their torso.
The hierarchical boss of the B20 floor was killed, and the monsters were annihilated.
It was not wise no matter how much I thought about it, to run into a black mountain ash party with such crazy destructive power.
“Ugh! Everyone, please take a look!”
“Ouch!”
Perhaps because the scream was so loud, rescuers gathered.
The crew members around them opened their mouths wide in amazement.
All the rescue teams gathered when they saw the hastily fired flares.
The chief hunter could not be blamed.
I was surprised because they were all the same.
Bishop Lightning spoke out of his own accord.
“This is not a hierarchical boss.”
“Yes? Are you saying this huge guy is a mob?”
“This is the floor boss on another floor. If you look at the corpses of the monsters, you can tell that monsters from all over the middle floor were escaping this way.”
“Ugh. That’s a valid argument.”
“Anyway, the terrifying traces of destruction on the terrifying corpse remain the same. After all, Wilhelm Meyer is considered one of the greatest masters of his time. You destroyed the body on the first day and beheaded the next number.”
Bishop Lightning’s coercion was successful. The party leaders focused on the fact that the rescue team’s attention was on the death of the hierarchical boss, reducing optimism about the life or death of the Black Mountain Society party to some extent.
The only ones who maintained interest in the giant Lamia statue were the giant golem magicians who were thinking about whether to use them as golem materials, or those who had gathered to rest in the shade for a while.
So they could see it.
chuckle
drizzle
The body that the giant golem master had been fiddling with was wide open, and the hidden secret door was opened.
‘What are you doing!? Why are you helping the search!?’
This was not something that could be stopped by Edribe.
The rescue team was overturned and gathered in front of the secret door again.
“crazy. Are these people swept away by the monster wave, or did they advance further because they have enough energy after slaughtering the monsters?”
“I think it’s probably the latter.”
“shit. It’s like going down to the lower level on the first step in the labyrinth. This is no joke.”
The rescue team had to enter the lower part of the labyrinth crying and eating mustard.
“What if the lower level bosses are also caught?”
“Ah, maybe.”
“Once there is a hole, the next one is called the deep zone.”
Haha ho ho The conversation we used to laugh at was cut off at some point.
As the opponent was the opponent, it could not be dismissed as a joke.
The black mountain sashimi party is the strongest party in the country. There was a possibility that those monsters would advance into the deep zone.
Of course, there is no way for sane people to go directly from the upper floors to the deep zones.
But there was no sane person at the party.
