Volume 1 Chapter 3.2 (1/2)

The next day, after I finished my work at the bar last night, the second Labyrinth exploration begins.

Last night, I heard some stories from the manager about strong monsters inside the Labyrinth. And I had gotten know more which monsters I can fight and which aren’t, and which monsters will give me more experience.

?Yeah?Let’s aim for higher level monster and boss monster today?

?OOOU?! Boss?? That’s a good idea?

I meet Dia at church, I tell him about my objective today. Dia is quite enthusiastic.

?I have found out that it’s hard to solve my MP problem. Therefore, let’s use MP effectively in each combat.?

?I agree, Let’s aim for the boss!?

He didn’t seem satisfied with his one-sided battle yesterday. I can see his desire to fight with the stronger monster.

?Well then, we are going a little bit far, so come with me?

?All right?

According to the information I collected at the bar, it takes steps from here to lead to the area where we can find the boss monster.

Along the way, I’m saving up my MP. Doesn’t mean I don’t use it at all, but if possible I decided not to use «Dimension»on small prey.

We go through, entering inside of the labyrinth. Meanwhile, at the same time, selecting monsters which are easy to defeat.

And, the corridor inside the Labyrinth changes its appearance bit by bit.

From a featureless stone, it changes into a green road where the energies overflow. The corridor gradually increases its size, Trees grow in abundance. And more when we advance deeper we find a forest.

The road end here, there is only a dense dark forest.

We confirmed that we already entered one of the deep part, the special area.

?Yup, we entered the special area of insects. So, I want to snipe for ?Queen of Forest?that’s live in the main of this area?

?Eh??

I tell him my idea.

Dia is puzzled. He might don’t though that I’m telling him to snipe and shoot it from the place where it’s safe.

?Yup, we are going to snipe it?

?Please, wait, Sieg. It’s likely to snipe, right? Do you mean aiming from here??

?I will explain my strategy?

?Eh, Eh??

His -nervous but cute- expression shows. Dia continues listening to my explanation.

This strategy is as a result of information that I collected from many explorers.

?According to the information, I think we can grasp the boss’s position from here. I want Dia to use your full power magic and shoot it to the direction that I point out. Maybe, the boss will die in 1 hit. Since I want to pick up the drop item as well, so we have to beat the underlings which surrounding the boss. Well, Even though I don’t have any intend to do that, but I will be the bait. Because the fight is using MP, I will have Dia to cover me. That’s all. We should be able to do it with our best abilities. Is there any question??

?……Uhm, Can we really do it??

?Yea, Of course,?

Exaggerating, I said that to him. So he won’t feel any pressure. Depending on our abilities, this is an easy strategy. Much more our ability is extraordinary.

If one normal explorer presence here, this strategy cannot be done. This strategy can only be done with me who have insight, and the talented Dia who is my partner. Again, I reconfirmed to look at other explorer’s?Indication?and their status is terrible.

?I get it. I have debt with you, so I believe in you?

Dia shows his confidence and tighten his chest.

?Don’t get too work up. If we do well like I think, this will be easy. I can see the result already. Because Dia’s magic is really strong?

I encourage him to reduce his mental burden.

Dia nodded shyly.

?Is, Is that so? I get it?

?Ok. Well then, wait a moment, I will look for it?

I use «Dimension: multiple expansion»so it can extend for collecting the surrounding information.

My sense is expanded through trees in the forest, and I found the 5-meter monsters behind the giant tree. It is taking a shape of a two-legged b.u.t.terfly and bipedal armor. The monster is wandering its surrounding.

I point out my finger to its direction.

Thanks to the «Dimension»I could grasp even for 1 mil. If we do well, the aim will be straight to Queen of Forest’s heart.

?I found it. Put your arm on top of my arm. And shoot it in the direction where I point out. Don’t worry about the obstacles. Generally, it won’t a hindrance to your magic. if it so I will do something about it?

?……Okay?

Dia, still puzzled, put his arm on top of my hand, from behind of my shoulder and point out to the direction where I point out.

?Our objective is not moving. It might won’t move as long as we don’t get near it. Try to not burn my hand, Dia can shoot at anytime?

?You will be fine, I will shoot it soon?

Dia says so and he closes his eyes to focus.

And in a number of seconds, He opens his eyes and shout.

?Go!!!?«Flame Arrow»!!!?

In a moment, a flash is running.

I felt its high temperature and I let go of my arm immediately.

The emitted amount of heat went straight while leaving holes in the trees. I grasp the situation with «Dimension». The state is «Flame Arrow»went through Queen of Forest’s throat.
