chapter 38
5th floor – Lv. 96 Blanchet(3)
In some cases, terrain outside the theme of the boss layer is created.
Not this time.
The terrain was still a jungle belonging to the forest theme, specifically, an environment like the Amazon of South America.
The pyramid in the center of the map is also a structure that is reminiscent of Maya or Aztec.
Five towers are built around it.
There must be at least five people going up there.
Then the pyramid will open. The stairs are in it.
I’m not sure what’s going to come out of it, but looking at the tower, there’s no way it’s going to be a quiet indoor battle.
allocate staff
The ax warrior expressed dissatisfaction.
“Why are you separating the party members?”
“Are you sure you can trust the other exiles here?”
“what do you mean?”
The only thing you can trust is the party members.
If you’ve come all the way to the 5th floor, you’ve come too far to betray.
It’s a matter of efficiency.
If you want to throw out the water and get what you need, you have to do it early.
Even if you die, you have nothing to lose at the very beginning.
Or at all, right before the kingdom.
So it is somewhat reliable.
But other people’s parties are a different matter altogether.
“So, it’s like a mutual hostage. Let’s move on to the next floor instead of trying too hard. It also means equalizing the power of each tower.”
The forehead wrinkles of the ax warrior gather to the forehead and then to the top again.
It’s dubious, but it’s also plausible, so it’s a suspicious face.
I stared at her face silently.
Facial expressions are familiar.
If other people see it, it will probably look like you have ‘If you don’t like it’ written on your face.
There are a total of six parties here now.
Since I don’t want to experience the difficulty level of 5 on an even-numbered floor, it’s a party of 4 people.
Including Blanchett, he was only twenty-five.
Usually, if you arrive at the odd boss floor on time, more than the minimum number of people will gather.
This is probably the first time the ax warrior has had a boss fight with just the right number of people.
In fact, most will never have that experience.
25 people is a minimum requirement, not a quota.
It is rare for a major trouble to occur on the lower floors. That’s why I went to the point where I had to wait for several days because there was no one there.
No matter how many channels there were on every odd floor, most of them would have passed.
First of all, all of the party members were warriors. it’s understandable The 4-Warrior Party is full of romance and is really powerful in the beginning.
The gaze of the ax warrior, who could not resist, wandered through the air with dissatisfaction, and finally gave in.
“I’ll follow you.”
Crowd psychology is scary. The leaders of the other party were all quiet, so it seems that they couldn’t stand it any longer.
And the truth is, ax warriors are smart.
If there was an accident that would make the strategy tiring, it was separated to remove it immediately.
Oh, if you twist, be a senior with a strong voice.
If you’ve been burned by an old man even once, you’ll all be saved.
After that, it was time to quietly organize each party.
As a result of gathering the leaders and hearing their opinions, we decided to start as soon as the day dawned.
“How long have you been waiting?”
“We had one day.”
Oh my gosh, what is it?
The old man from the party that he had been waiting for the longest came up to him and nodded his head and said that a fortnight had passed.
It is a visual that will have a lower initial stat than me.
“Oh. Old man, you are in a lot of trouble.”
“Heh heh, sir, please lower your words. I’m only in the 7th year.”
“If I add up my life, I’m not as old as the elderly, so how can I do that?”
“In the labyrinth, age is the age.”
I wish I had made it this far.
Older people from Eastern Confucian culture sometimes come to ask for a will.
Tea is the same feeling as a guide.
It is convenient when conducting a nail in advance.
After that, I grabbed the wizard and tried to figure out the location of Blanchet, but I couldn’t.
If you spend 17 years with those specs, you know how to deal with magic.
You can’t find it any more with the level of magic on the level of a female archer or a little wizard.
But there must be someone watching me.
Kindness should be moderate.
The music box, the code name that Blanchet knew, was a more cruel, cold-hearted, and calculating person.
It is necessary to make such a tee in order to clear any doubts.
And if you have the chance, let’s stab it with Akasha’s eyes.
It’s easier to think about it in the abyss.
I don’t think I’ll ever be fooled.
That’s why I wore my flag on the 2nd floor and looked into Kakrish’s seal.
It’s only three times, but if you put a secret trick, you can handle it without asking or questioning.
Once you are thrown into the abyss, even if you return, you will only skip the floor that disappeared due to sudden death.
If that’s the case, I’ll probably be far ahead of myself.
After all, the hero unit comes with equipment that matches it.
So the night went by.

Even after receiving healing from the healing potion, the girl could not come to her senses for a long time.
Magical power also damages the mind, so it cannot be immediately restored even with a healing spring.
When I opened my eyes, stretching as if I had slept for a long time, it was time for the day to soon be bright.
“Are you awake?”
“Huh? What happened to you, Mister?”
“Stats don’t work, but I stretched out using magic.”
He never explained the magic properly.
I was expecting only the strength and agility-type talent, and I didn’t teach it because I had confirmed it.
Now that we know the unexpected ability, let’s teach it too.
The basics of magic must have been pretty boring, but the girl listened with a smile.
“Then can I be that wizard?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Oh, magic is really cool.”
“If you level up more later, you roll it into a subclass.”
“Well, okay. I’ll try.”
“Yeah. Yeah.”
There is plenty of room for an assassin to use magic.
A typical example would be [Invisibility], as was used on the 4th floor, and you can simply apply magic to the weapon to counter the magic.
Like I and Sir Dusbourne showed me, it would be difficult to perform a stunt that blocks the magic itself in advance.
However, just by allowing physical interference with magic, a number of different cases can be created.
The light began to shine while the girl concentrated on the operation of magical power, that is, to feel the flow without going to the manifestation.
a thunderstorm is coming
One by one, the exiles who had spent the night somewhere gathered.
No one said anything. Just watch the sun rise together.
This is surprisingly rare.
This is a possible scene because our party, where there are three of us with more than 10 years of experience, and the party of the female archer, who has the next strongest power, are in solidarity.
Thousands of exiles, possessed by the paradise of the kingdom, seek each other out for even the slightest advantage.
Odd-numbered floors are like that.
Even if the labyrinth does not force competition, they kill each other.
The hunter who knew it murmured quietly.
“It’s peaceful.”
I answered.
“Not yet.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just in time, Blanchet appeared out of the dark.
The way the optical camouflage suit removes the invisibility is more magical than magic.
The female archer’s wizard trembled slightly.
* * *
The number of people was evenly distributed by party.
Two, one, one per party. This kind of distribution
There was a sense of balancing the battle for each party, and there was also a meaning of balancing the personnel.
There was no lack of movement to be wary of the female archer who was in solidarity with my party, but it was clear who would be harmed if he looked hateful, so there was no problem.
However, our party was divided into four towers one by one.
The girl and the hunter are not worried, but the youngest is a little worried.
Still, I put it on the same side as the female archer, so I’ll take care of it.
The fact that I have a party leader who is eager to look good on me becomes a bigger advantage as the odd-numbered floors progress.
If channels overlap once, it is easy to meet in the same place afterward.
If only the timing was the same.
It was a question of where to send the remaining blanché to the end, but the ax warrior confidently said that he would be with them.
When the eyes of astonishment and fear are focused, the corners of the lips rise rather than feeling proud.
I was just going to congratulate you.
So I changed the layout.
He drove the 4 warriors to the same tower as Blanchet.
It’s good to see each other high-five, clenching fists, and happy to see each other get together.
They are confident newbies.
Yeah, if you’re going to die, only your party will die.
Right now, I’m refraining from killing according to my words, but I don’t know if anyone will touch my temper.
After all, a man’s lifespan is short… … .
Hmm, what. great. This year’s Darwin Award winners are you.
Others are obsessed with the existence of a number of fixed names.
And the level of equipment that Blanchett wore at a glance that couldn’t be found on the lower floors.
And she admired her pitiful beauty.
I was even more surprised that such a guy would follow my instructions and ascend to the same tower as an ax warrior.
The scene where the little wizard hiccuped and looked at me and Blanchet was kind of funny.
No, but what the hell did he do before?
* * *
Each party climbs the tower as I have designated it.
It’s still dark, but no matter how much, there are no beginners here who can be very concerned about the level.
The tower was high.
When I climbed it, I could see the whole of the jungle.
You can also look down on the pyramids.
Even though it is several times larger than the size of the Earth it is thought to be.
To have a tower like this ready means that something huge is sleeping within it.
Most of the attacks from exiles of a reasonable level are ineffective.
A certain gimmick will appear, and the main goal is to use it to inflict effective damage.
Of course, even then, combat power is required.
In the gimmick of attacking the boss, small monsters that obstruct access, so-called jols, will appear.
The terrain and the style of the architecture give hints as to what types of monsters will appear.
This time, with a high probability, it’s Quetzalcoatl.
On the 5th floor, a guy with a higher hierarchy than that rarely appears.
In the nuclear power plant, they are the sun god and so on, but the god of the labyrinth is a human being.
It’s just a powerful monster here.
The top of the tower was reached via an internal spiral staircase.
When the little wizard barely reached the top, gasping, everyone gathered.
Did he not invest any stats into strength?
The tower glows softly, recognizing the personnel.
The pyramid began to vibrate.
As previously stated, everyone falls flat.
The pyramid exploded with a bang.
Exactly, it was disassembled.
Debris becomes countless scaffolding floating in the air and begins to spin.
A huge monster raised its head among the remains of the pyramid, which was like a satellite orbiting.
Bem with feathers everywhere instead of scales.
It’s Quetzalcoatl.
A large shock wave that exploded as the pyramids disintegrated nearly slipped from the tower.
I’ll lie down like it’s clinging to the floor.
I lost my appetite.
It’s a labyrinth, starting with ‘If you don’t know, you have to die’, no matter what boss you become.
Even if you let me know, it’s close.
I’m really nervous about what they’re doing because they’re the guys who crawl down late and have their feet tied up.
Wouldn’t it be better to have Blanchett?
* * *
The ax warrior, who was a peasant from the southern part of the continent, was confident in his power.
From an early age, he realized the superiority of his innate body.
After becoming an adult, he started stealing without difficulty and settled down successfully.
If it wasn’t for my identity, I would have done an article.
While I was thinking like that, I was dragged into the labyrinth.
Life after being exiled was pretty good.
No worries about an unexpected death. There, power is justice.
There were some parts I didn’t understand.
Fools crouching at the many-year-olds who only stayed in the labyrinth for a long time.
Doesn’t it matter if you kill them in the first place anyway?
I’ve been burned before, but I’m stronger until the swings do something.
There was confidence.
I’ve died like that 50 times. There was no luck at all.
But this round is lucky. I met three like-minded colleagues.
A real man is never afraid.
Together, they climbed up to the fifth floor, the highest ever recorded.
Fixed named NPCs?
I’ve heard the word
I’m talking dirty
So, isn’t it a woman?
I know the clothes you wear are weird.
I understand that they have a lot of strange things that seem to come from some other world.
When it appeared in a magically transparent state, I was actually a little surprised.
Even when I was living outside stealing, I had never seen a wizard.
At first glance, I remember an old man telling me not to touch the wizard.
how are you Even a good wizard will die if the head and body are separated.
Let’s prove it. Let’s prove our strength by killing that pretty girl everyone fears.
After we rearrange the order like that, everyone will look up to us.
The plan was perfect.
A large building in the middle of the jungle was waiting to be activated.
After checking the number of people, I heard that there is no problem even if a person dies.
Then from now on.
The two-handed sword warrior who stayed in the labyrinth the longest among the party members came forward.
He is the most talkative friend.
“Hey! Fixed NPC guy! Get on your knees to the humans quickly. If you do that, you’ll save your life!”
women are good Such a pretty and useful woman is rare in this labyrinth.
Everyone was salivating.
It was the next moment that I realized something was wrong.
“Huh, there are a lot of NPCs who talk nonsense in this episode. The music box said it’s okay to kill you guys.”
A smile hangs on the woman’s expressionless lips.
It was an alluring smile.
beautiful.
But we couldn’t laugh together.
The feeling of exhilaration disappears in an instant. All that remained was the dread that things had gone terribly wrong.
A drowsy voice says
“die.”
Lightning flashed.
