Episode 12 2nd floor (2)
I expected to so extent that the portal would co out.
That’s natural.
Encountering a high-ranking adventurer, the blonde party, proves that there is a second-floor portal in the direction I ca from.
That is why, as soon as he saw the bloodstain, he followed it with confidence.
But I didn’t expect this either.
I never thought there would be a portal less than 10 ters from the starting point.
“I’m going crazy.”
mories of crawling on three legs unfold like a panorama.
How unlucky am I?
A few steps in the opposite direction would have activated the portal and secured the light.
If I had, I could have seen and avoided that fucking trap!
“Tell , mister. Don’t make such a scary face. If I’ve done sothing wrong, I’ll fix it…”
But what was he talking about earlier?
oh it’s because of
It’s annoying, so let’s just look around.
“Never mind. It just reminded of the old days.”
“Ah…….”
Erwen looked at and was relieved, then looked at with pity. I couldn’t believe it.
Bloodstains, slices of bread, sandals, the expression I used to make.
Did you infer what I went through on the first day based on this circumstance? is he
“I’m sure he went to a good place too.”
It can’t be either I believed
“Yes… Thank you.”
Seeing what I said, it seems like I misunderstood that I was reminiscing about a colleague I lost in the past, but…….
I didn’t feel the need to correct it.
It’s too long to explain one by one.
More than anything, when I talk to soone, I feel like I’m going to get angry.
So let’s just bury this story.
“Are you ready to go upstairs?”
“Honestly, it’s still scary, but for so reason I don’t think I’ll die if I’m with you.”
If you look closely, he has a strange habit of talking for a long ti. Just say ‘yes’.
“Then go.”
“Yes……”
The mont I rode my body into the portal with Erwen, my eyes turned white.
Just like when light radiates out of a monitor.
Flash-!
[00 : 57]
The point where just 4 days have passed since entering the labyrinth.
“You have entered the 2nd floor Goblin Forest.”
I reached the 2nd floor.
***
If soone asks how I feel right now, I will answer like this.
After mumbling for a long ti in the mouth of a giant frog, hey! I feel like I was spit out.
“Kyaa!”
The body hangs in the air as if being thrown off by sothing.
He didn’t scream like Erwen, but looking at the results, he was better than .
thud-!
While I stomped on my butt with a dull sound, Erwen quickly got her balance and landed perfectly.
“Wow, I’m surprised. Even the older sisters didn’t say that.”
It’s a new feeling, but he’s also really good physically.
It is an agility that cannot be possessed by a barbarian.
“Mister, is this the second floor?”
“okay.”
“Hmm, I haven’t heard of a forest. Are you sure?”
“Perhaps the story you heard is referring to the other second floor.”
“The other second floor?”
Don’t fairies properly share labyrinth information? Why don’t you know about this?
“There are 4 portals on the 1st floor in each of the north, south, east and west directions, and the location that connects them differs from region to region.”
“Ah, I think it was!”
…I just forgot.
When I looked at him as if he was pathetic, Erwen opened his mouth in embarrassnt.
“Ah, 3rd floor! They said that from the 3rd floor on any route, everything will be connected again. Is that right?”
He seems to want to show off his knowledge.
When I nodded my head roughly, Erwen smiled with a satisfied face.
Gradually, I get a sense of how to deal with him.
“So what do we do now?”
“Wait. I’m thinking about it.”
First of all, I calmly checked the surrounding terrain.
It is necessary to point out which parts are different from the ga and which are the sa.
For example, like flying about 3m while riding a portal just before.
Those things that could not be known beyond the monitor.
“Hmm.”
First of all, I checked my surroundings once more.
There is a portal at the back that allows you to go down to the first floor at any ti, and no living things can be seen in the vacant lot with a radius of about 50m.
Well, I don’t know what it’s like in the trees far away.
“Is there anything I can do to help you?”
“Stay still.”
The map on the second floor is a forest.
The surroundings are as dark as night, but thanks to the lights scattered like the Milky Way in the sky, so visibility is secured.
In terms of experience, it is as bright as an alleyway without streetlights.
However, as ti passes, it will beco dayti and will not beco brighter.
Because this is a labyrinth.
That’s actually not the sky, it’s just a ceiling located high up. Well, there are layers where the real sky and sun exist.
“Let’s move slowly.”
“Yes? Where are you going?”
“We will explore the surrounding area around here.”
There is a rough plan from the first floor.
However, there are a few things that need to be checked to see if this actually works.
So, from what you can see.
Quaang-!
Erwen startled as he swung the hamr at the tree outside the clearing.
“What are you doing?”
“I checked to see if it was possible to knock down a tree.”
“Why are you checking that?”
“I was thinking of building a wooden fence around the portal.”
“Um, that’s right.”
Only then did Erwen nod his head in agreent.
It’s very annoying to try to answer one by one.
“Anyway, this plan is abandoned.”
Erwen didn’t even ask why.
Yes, he has eyes too.
I hit it with all my might, but the tree’s bark was only slightly broken.
what tree is this? It’s a rock.
“Then what’s your next plan?”
“We’ll search around here as planned. And from now on, you’ll lead the way.”
“…?”
I decided not to ask any questions.
“What you need to do is go ahead and find traps. And pay attention to the enemy as much as possible. There are two things like this.”
“…It’s about role division. I see.”
Unexpectedly, Erwen accepted the role he was given ekly.
But why are you sad?
Is it because I already prepared everything to convince you?
“Still, I feel a bit nostalgic after coming to the forest. Even knowing that there are only monsters there.”
Erwen walked down the forest path while saying sothing that I couldn’t relate to at all.
“Ah, I don’t think there’s a trap, but just in case you don’t know, co only the way I walk.”
what? boy? Suddenly, sothing comforted .
In fact, he was moving with strides as if he wasn’t afraid of the trap.
Before long, Erwen murmured softly.
“It’s a trap.”
invisible to my eyes
“If you look over there, you’ll see what’s hidden under the leaves.”
No matter how much you say it, it doesn’t look like it.
Soon after, Erwen looked at and said, ‘Why can’t I do sothing like this?’ and then threw a stone at .
Chae-chaeng-!
there really was
How can you spot that in this street when it’s so dark?
Even though I knew the fairy’s detection ability in advance, seeing it with my own two eyes was just amazing.
There must have been a reason for all the strides you took.
“how is it?”
“It seems to be good at throwing stones.”
“…is that all?”
“What else do you need?”
At this ti, Erwen’s shoulders, which had been stretched out for a long ti, drooped.
It’s the perfect ti to give carrots.
subtly so as not to be too obvious.
“Finding traps was a skill that was expected of you from the beginning. You are already a full-fledged explorer. Don’t be too excited about taking things for granted.”
“Hmm…”
I pretend not to, but I can clearly see my shoulders slightly twitching from behind.
Thanks to you, I got it completely.
Looks like we’ll have to deal with it this way in the future.
“But you’re saying I’m playing the role of one person? As an explorer?”
“okay.”
Even so, the distribution is 9:1.
Anyway, it seems that the ‘one warrior’ variant, which our chief was particularly fond of, worked better than expected.
“But it’s strange. No matter how hard I listen, I don’t think there are goblins.”
That’s natural.
Because the second floor is different from the first floor. If there is a trap, there are no goblins nearby. It is easier to view the traps on the second floor as rely topographical features.
No matter where you go, it’s everywhere.
“Now stop chatting and focus.”
“yes.”
I tightened the tension again and explored this area.
The place where I am currently is called the ‘Goblin Forest’ in the ga.
A feature other than the trap is that goblins basically gather in groups of 10 or 10.
Occasionally, there are mutants, such as goblin swordsn and goblin archers.
Of course, if you go out to the outskirts, the number of mutant species will increase and higher-level monsters will also appear, but it
‘s sothing we don’t have to worry about as we’re only going to knock on the entrance near the portal.
“For now, there’s nothing nearby.”
We finished searching a radius of about 200m around the portal.
There were countless traps, but no goblin hordes were found.
“What should I do?”
“First, remove all the traps in this area and then gradually increase the range.”
We gradually expanded our territory by removing traps with rocks from afar.
In case of danger, you have to escape to the first floor.
If you step on a trap while running, you will be in big trouble.
That was when the radius was expanded to more than 500m.
“mister.”
Erwen stopped and whispered.
I also held my breath at the sa ti.
“It’s a group of goblins.”
“How many are there?”
“I don’t know. The fever seems to be over…”
“The distance?”
“About 50m. I don’t think they noticed us yet. What should I do?”
What kind of nonsense is he talking about?
“Fight.”
At my words, Erwen didn’t throw up. It’s a little scary, but I know it myself.
That there is no choice but to fight anyway.
If you really don’t like fighting, you shouldn’t have entered the Labyrinth.
“How much closer can you get without being seen?”
“I think I can go up to 30m if I’m alone without the uncle. Anything more than that is impossible. Goblins have a keener sense of sll than I thought.”
“I see.”
I thought about it for a short while and decided to move on as I had planned.
Erwen also slowly walked through the woods in the direction of the goblins.
That’s the fairy . It
‘s amazing every ti I walk through the bushes and see that there’s not even a rustling sound.
“…….”
Soon Erwen stopped walking
. I turned the arrow to the string and shot it.
Whiyuuuuuu.
Is it a hit?
I don’t know.
It
was so far away that I
could n’t hear the sound
of it being hit. “Greuk!!!”
“Grrrrrr!!!”
Erwen was
calmly preparing for the second shot even while the excited goblins were
running
.
I couldn’t feel it at all when I saw them in the ga.
Puff!
A goblin that was running towards fell down.
The location I hit was not between the forehead
and the neck. However, even if it’s a fairy, it’s going to be difficult to accurately hit a moving one from a distance.
“Erwen, you step back . Nara.”
“Yes!”
Erwen backed away without hesitation and disappeared from my field of vision. Now, all I can see is the
goblins rushing in front of .
They are three tis the size of the ones I encountered on the first floor.
It might shrink a bit when it cos to this, but…
Surprisingly, no fear arises at all.
No, rather.
Pounding-!
The warrior’s heart in this body wriggles aggressively and heats up his head
. !”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
.” Listening to the nacing howls of nurous goblins, I
shouted
instead.
