Episode 135 Orculis (1)
The Guardian of Balance.
The field effect was concluded early.
It ans that the abilities of those entering the maze are equally distributed.
All the team mbers agreed to the guess made by Rotmiller, who had received various hints from .
Therefore, unnecessary explanation was not necessary.
“Perhaps other explorers have entered this labyrinth.”
“Another explorer? It must be a place where you can’t et other explorers in the Tower of Heaven?”
The dwarf muttered sothing incomprehensible…
“You don’t even know, Murad. At least the situation we’re in isn’t normal.”
The 4th floor Sky Tower is an independent space.
If several teams do not enter at the sa ti at the ti of entry, no matter how much you fight, you will not be able to et other teams.
However, this is a space unknown to the outside world.
“It doesn’t matter what happens here.”
unknown.
A word that ans not yet known.
This ans that all possibilities are embraced.
So…
“I get what you an. But it could be that we’re wrong in our guesses? It’s just that there were different rules applied when we entered this space—” The dwarf hinted at another possibility
. Speak concisely and firmly.
“That seems like too much of a leap.”
Because this is not an unknown space to .
It would be more reasonable to sort things out quickly and move on to the next one without wasting ti.
“I think Rotmiller’s guess is correct. What about you, Dwalkie?”
“…I think this way is more plausible.”
“It ans consent. What about you, Mischa?”
“Uh… I’ll just stay still.”
Mischa abstained.
However, since there were already three votes for a majority, the choice was not forced.
“Okay then, the decision has been made. For now, let’s move on assuming Rotmiller’s words are true. If you have any complaints, speak up now.”
“……None.”
After the dwarf in charge of the pants nodded grimly, I quickly settled the situation.
Another explorer entered the maze.
And they are stronger than us.
My stats have doubled in my experience, so I must be an explorer active on at least the 6th floor.
It’s not a clan, it’s a team unit.
If so, what should we do now?
The team mbers each gave their own opinions on the topic I raised, and I took advantage of the gap to et the condition of summoning the mid-boss.
「The devil in the labyrinth senses the blood.」
Okay, now we just have to wait a little longer.
“Well, doesn’t it really matter? Rather, it would be nice to work together to find a way out…” “I do
n’t know what kind of people they might be, but why don’t we just stay here? There’s no guarantee that you’ll be trapped when the labyrinth is closed.”
“Haha! What are you so worried about, my friend? No matter how strong you are, it’s a special situation right now.
“Well, but just in case, it would be better to avoid them as much as possible and find a way out.”
I smiled bitterly.
I listened intently while waiting to see if there was anything useful.
Again, collective intelligence didn’t help much.
Rotmiller was at least better, but I didn’t have the worst in mind because I had a strong sense of preparation.
“What do you think, Bjorn?”
My eyes are focused on his question.
I said after finalizing my thoughts.
“I don’t think it can be a coincidence either.”
“What if it’s not a coincidence?”
“To think that an explorer with this much power was on the 4th floor at this ti?
“That ans they might have been here for their purpose in the first place.”
“Yes. And if so, they must have noticed our presence by now.”
At my words, Dwalki denied it.
“Ah, could it be that way? To know about this place in advance.”
Also, the dwarf laughed.
“Haha, even so, you’re talking as if they’re looters already?”
Rottmiller has been earnestly asking the question again.
“So what do you think is best?”
I answered.
they are unknown
Therefore, all possibilities are inherent.
This variable can be luck or lead to death.
Therefore, even if my appearance like this seems strange to my colleagues.
“We must get out of here.”
You have to assu the worst.
pounding-!
That he did not look away from the ominousness in his heart.
Because that’s the secret to my survival.
***
「You have defeated Baphot. EXP 5”
“Bonus for defeating high-ranking mutants. EXP 1”
***
Running through the maze.
Not wandering around, properly heading towards the destination.
“This way!”
Rottmiller, who followed closely behind , held a map in his hand.
It was not a map he had been working hard on, but a map that detailed the path of the entire labyrinth.
Of course, the location of the boss room is also written.
It’s a loot obtained by defeating Baphot, the mid-boss.
‘I didn’t expect it to be so easy to catch.’
Baphot summoned at the sa ti as I finished my words.
Originally, the battle with him, which he had to barely catch by attacking his weak points, took less than a minute.
It was possible to just hit it with a dill.
It was a bit of a situation to say it was a good thing.
‘How strong are they originally?’
An unknown uninvited guest.
For reference, it’s been a long ti since I threw out the idea that it could be one person.
No matter how strong an individual is, there are limits.
Tadadadadat-!
Clear thoughts and speed up.
Everyone seed to be following along, so I thought it would be okay.
In fact, when I peeked behind , even the dwarf, who lacked endurance, was running well with Dwalkie on his back.
So stop worrying about this part.
[aek-!!!]
I hit the head of Baikundus protruding from the front with my mace.
Of course, it staggered greatly, but did not die in one hit.
However, I passed the staggering guy without slowing down.
Because Misha decided to take care of the trash mobs.
Slow-!
A group of lights scattered at the sa ti as the sound of cloth was heard.
However, I can’t hear the sound of the magic stone falling.
This ti, it seems that Misha caught it well in the air.
“Go left!”
Follow Rotmiller’s instructions and turn around.
Then four Vaikundus are seen in the distance.
In fact, now I can take it down with just and Misha Rotmiller… but
it would be nice to save even a second of ti.
“Dwalky!”
At my cry, the dwalki got off the dwarf’s back and cast a spell.
Shaaaaaaa-!
[Cold Storm].
A 7th grade attack magic that deals damage in a wide range instead of a single deal. Originally, that magic spell was only used to link up with 8th and 9th grade mobs and Misha.
[h…… eh?]
A blizzard reminiscent of hailstones shoots across the aisle, and the four Bykundus are frozen.
A 6th grade monster was judged to be ‘frozen’ beyond ‘frostbite’ with one magic shot.
However, in a few seconds, the condition will be resolved……
Kwaaaang-!
Hurry up and smash it with your mace and resu moving.
And when he decides he needs a break, he spreads himself out in the aisle for a while, refining his breathing.
Ti passed like that, and it was ti to take a third break.
“Whoop whoop… isn’t Bjorn in too much of a hurry? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there’s any need to be in such a hurry…”
The dwarf breathed out and carefully let out the dissatisfaction he had been holding back. .
This is sowhat expected.
[I keep getting that ominous feeling. So please. Trust just this once.]
The first request I ever made.
Everyone was compelled to respond to this.
But…
[…well, you’re the type of person who has good senses.]
[I don’t care. And you, Bjorn, don’t think that I paid off my debt with this. Do you intend to pay for it properly later?]
As ti passed, you must have had doubts.
“I think this is enough for too. It’s like a leap that they knew about this place in the first place…….”
Isn’t it more likely that they accidentally ca here like us?
no, even if it is.
“If you’re worried about the marks you left behind, can you stop going slowly? Even looters won’t find us in a place like this.”
Are they really predators?
Isn’t this really close to a delusion to find us and try to harm us?
“In fact, I’m not even sure why you’re so sure there’s a way to escape here.”
Above all, the boss room… No guarantee that there will be a way to escape to the place that isn’t even listed as a boss room?
“Umm, I have no complaints. You know? It’s real? Huh?”
These are all reasonable questions.
Because they haven’t had the sa experience as .
Hidden Peace is not that special.
Just looking at Gensia, whom I t in ‘Glacier Cave’ not too long ago, that’s the case.
The crack was opened using the Hidden Peace elent.
In addition, in Ghost Busters, information is exchanged every month and information about Hidden Peace spreads.
“Bjorn is not like you today. Even if everything you say is true, can’t we just fight back?”
The dwarf said it as if persuading him, but that was the biggest problem.
Keeper of Balance in effect?
Even so, nothing changes.
A situation that would have been punished turned into a situation that was just ordinary punishnt.
That’s about it.
Even if the abilities are the sa, there is a difference in the skill level or number of essences.
If the items are combined, the difference will widen even more.
‘If we fight, we lose unconditionally.’
This was the source of my insecurities.
pounding-!
A lion can not think of anything in front of a rabbit.
But what about rabbits?
“I don’t have ti for this. I’ll move when I’m all rested.”
If you et a lion, you must run.
***
A stone chamber that runs in four directions.
A man standing in the middle sings.
“Larkaz Labyrinth…….”
The man took off the hood that covered his face and approached the wall.
Then he carefully swiped the wall.
“You’re finally here.”
The corners of his mouth twisted up and his burn-scarred skin distorted.
But anyone can see it.
“God, how can you attach wings to such an evil person…!”
As if lanting this, the old man in a black priestly robe closed his eyes.
Is that really what you an?
To sigh while throwing aningless questions into the air.
It was the only thing an old man could do.
“Would you like to pull out your tongue, old man?”
“How can you be afraid? Physical pain—”
“Oh, of course, your grandson’s tongue.”
“…….”
As the old man shut his mouth, the man giggled and turned his gaze to the floor
. A middle-aged explorer who had collapsed was seated.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead and his parted lips trembled and groaned in
agony
. I’m sorry that I lost.”
The man smiled as he looked at the seeker’s severed shoulder.
Who would have known? There must have been a way to get into this place
that I haven’t been able to find for a year so easily.
Even an evil god is a very funny person to show the way to soone who has been stunned for offering a gift.” ”
He… wasn’t your colleague?
” I just took it with because it was useful. Hey, stop waking up now? I ca in late, so I don’t have ti.”
As the man put his foot on the explorer’s waist and shook it, deep wrinkles ford between the old man’s forehead.
“Stop it. Offering body parts to evil spirits No. The pain would be beyond imagination—”
“Isn’t an old man like that?”
The old man flinched at the man’s cold
voice
. This is disgusting.
But the old man has sothing to protect.
Probably the sa for this searcher.
“I’m fine… High priest
.
” He also nodded his head in satisfaction.
However, he frowned as if he realized sothing belatedly, and repeatedly opened and closed his hands.
Kwak-
He knows about the ‘Guardian of Balance’.
But even considering that, the changes in his body that have occurred now is not convincing.
“Has the old man changed anything? Divine power or sothing.”
“……It has decreased a little.”
“It has decreased? Didn’t it increase?
Are you sure?” “I’m sure.”
The man turned his head and stared at the seeker.
“You, seeker?
” ..”
“That’s right.”
The man stared down the aisle with a fishy smile.
The old man from the high priest’s office, even if that’s the case, to the extent that even a 5th-level searcher’s strength is reduced?
“So rats ca in first.
” The eyes were giving off a cool glare.
