Chapter 16 – Becoming Stronger at the Underground Labyrinth!! Part 6

Now then, we are finally on the middle layer of the labyrinth.

Along with this layer I am currently on, there is one more layer below.

Together, the two are called the middle region.

So, on this floor, everything is made out of wood.

But even so, all the monsters that will appear are all undead.

Furthermore, the strength of the undead is quite high, as this was the middle layer.

Liches, Wraith Kings, Vampires… It’s like a parade of the kings of night.

It is said that high-rank undead from the underworld are regularly summoned to this floor and replenished with the magical power of the dragons, but…

Well, that much is fine, but this floor is exactly what you would call a maze.

The area of the site is about 500mx500m.

A wooden passage of about one and a half meters branches out endlessly, and if you were to walk around blindly, you are bound to get lost.

And the starvation combo from there is inevitable.

There is no water source, and with the only food available being undead carrion, it is really unbearable.

In the first place, for me, if it comes to a series of battles with the undeads… There will be a tough part in terms of status.

Well, it can’t really be helped since even the dragon race can’t let their guard down if they face multiple opponents.

With countless undead in such a vast area… Running around in this place boasts a level of difficulty that feels like a punishment game, and there are many young dragons who lost their lives here.

「So… that is the exit to the next floor.」

Said Lilith with a stunned face.

「…20 minutes run time. Five encounters with enemies… three of which we will run from.」

「It’s because I have already done my homework. There are rules on how to make a maze, so even if you don’t have a map in mind… it is possible to conquer it.」

Saying that, I pointed to a geometric pattern drawn on the wall.

Well, it’s kinda like code-breaking.

If you noticed the rules of replacing the symbols drawn on the wall with strings of character… The correct route would be drawn on the wall with an arrow.

It’s not just a test of strength, it is also a test of wisdom.

「… You escaped from the big catfish on the previous floor. Before that, you also escaped from the golem… I don’t think you can win against the guardian of the deepest layer if you go on like this.」

「Ahh, I suppose you are right.」

With a dissatisfied expression, Lilith continued.

「…Then… earn a little more experience points on this floor…」

「Just a bit more.」

「…?」

I laughed before speaking to Lilith who is tilting her head.

「The number of high ranked undead monsters on this floor is about a hundred, huh?」

「…There is probably that much. Or maybe there are more.」

「ーーAll of them, I will enjoy them deliciously from now on.」

「… From now on… are you planning to stay here for a few months? There is not enough food and water. I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think you can continue winning until you can hunt the monsters here stably. 」

Ahh, as I thought, this girl is really serious.

No, well, I don’t really hate that.

「I won’t stay here for a few months. I will do and settle all of it at once.」

「…How much time is all at once?」

I put of one finger and said,

「A day… no, maybe half a day.」

Lilith opens her eyes.

Then, she shrugged her shoulders exasperatedly.

「… That can’t be done.」

「No, it can.」

Lilith showed a bewildered look at my serious expression.

That’s how she understood that I am talking seriously.

「…How are you going to do it?」

As Lilith asked and held her breath, I answered.

「On that end… Let’s head to the next floor.」

As if she was about to fall down, Lilith’s shoulder trembled.

「… I don’t like jokes that aren’t funny. We are talking about hunting the monsters in this floor, so why are we going to the next floor?」

I’m not joking but am actually very serious though.

「I might be, but you really don’t like jokes, huh?」

「… Good observation. I just don’t really quite understand the concept of joke.」

Un, I knew.

She has such a feeling. On how she is very inflexible, how she lacks facial expression, and how robot-like she is.

She is very beautiful so it’s kind of a waste.

Well, being loud like Cordelia would also be something else.

「…So… if you want to hunt the enemies on this floor… Why are you going to the next floor…? I absolutely… can’t understand.」

「If you were to look at what is going to happen, you will understand it even of you don’t like to.」

I pull Lilith’s hand.

Thenー

ーWe started descending the spiral staircase leading to the floor below.
