20 19. I dont want to dive into the labyrinth, but the story of diving.txt (1/2)

Inside the labyrinth.

An area inhabited by insect monsters.

I run through the damp, green corridor alone.

I dodge the scythes that attack me from all directions, sometimes deflecting them with my sword.

In front of me is a giant butterfly boss monster.

And a military monster in the form of a praying mantis surrounds me.

I sort out the information given to me by the 《Dimension》 in my mind and figure out the shortest route to break through this situation. I leave the Mantis Scythe behind and charge towards the giant butterfly - Queen of Forest without turning aside.

In contrast, the Queen of Forest shakes its wings, generates a mantis weasel, and releases it at me.

It's not much of a threat.

With a blade of air only a few meters wide across, it's no different than being slashed at normally. I bent down and dodged it without any problems. Then, I closed the distance as it was and brought my sword out to the enemy's heart.

The Queen of the Forest held out her shell-covered arm in front of her in an attempt to block the sword.

After seeing that, I change the trajectory of my sword.

My sword neatly decapitates the enemy and also slashes the limb that has lost its power.

The vociferous voices of the surrounding kindred grew louder and more furious as they attacked me.

But to no avail.

The Queen of the Forest's vanguard, which has lost the protection of its long-range attack, is not enough to deal with it.

I slashed the attacking mantises in turn.

Thus, the battle, which lasted less than a minute, was over.

The Queen of the Forest and her attendants are turned into light and disappear.

'Fufu......'

A breath of fresh air.

Looking at the results alone, it was a fight we could afford.

And rightly so. It's a different level than before.

However, the mental sense of accomplishment of defeating a boss alone, which was defeated by two people before, is great.

I immediately check the status.

After defeating Tida and gaining tens of thousands of experience, I had improved to level up to level 10. Compared to level 6, my abilities have jumped up dramatically, and now I feel like I can even keep up with that Tida's movements.

However, the confusion of the example has also jumped up a lot.

By the way, I saved my skill points.

The bonus points were transferred to HP.

Since I'm not yet dissatisfied with my strength and magic, I poured them into HP, which I discovered could replace MP for the time being.

If his level had risen to this level, it would only be a small amount in the Queen of Forest's experience. However, I feel that something that doesn't appear in the 'display' is growing greatly.

I stop deploying ”Dimension”.

It's a decision that I don't need to spend MP in the early layers.

I know the monsters and traps in the early layers, and there is less risk of dying from a level perspective.

Most importantly, normal explorers don't have a useful radar like Dimension. I'm going to refrain from relying on it for exploration and try to develop my natural observation and attention. If I can save these, my ability to take over will also improve.

I put the dropped items into 'belongings' and 'map' into 'display'.

The paths I've traveled were mapped out and the shortest distance to the next layer was marked.

I proceed along that path, not with magic, but with my five senses keenly perceiving my surroundings.

'Oh ....... It's usually scary ......

I muttered to myself for the first time in a long time.

But it wasn't a sad soliloquy like the first day.

It's something I need to tell myself that I'm still going to be okay.

I walk down the corridor, sometimes talking to myself to make sure I don't miss anything.

◆◆◆◆◆ ...

I have two goals for today.

The first is to advance through the labyrinth by myself.

However, there's no point in only advancing on the 'right path', so I'm aiming to defeat one boss per layer.

It was also to prevent you from going through too many enemies and advancing to a layer that is not suitable for your height. ...... In the early tier bosses, there wasn't a single one that would be my opponent at level 10.

I made it through the second, third, and fourth layers without any problems.

Then I walked through the fifth layer and reached that space.

The last room leading from the 5th to 6th layers.

It's the space where you fought Tida.

This is where I'm going to find Dia's arm, the second goal of this search.

I looked around the room, but I couldn't find it.

At that time, I gave up because it didn't go into my 'possessions' and I didn't have my hands free, but by the looks of it, it seems that it won't come back again.

Someone may have taken it away, or the labyrinth may have some kind of mechanism to cleanse it. For example, there are monsters roaming around that feed on filth and garbage.

I can't help what isn't there, so I go down the stairs to the next layer.

Then, using the information I got from the bar, I spread out the Dimension and try to search for the nearest boss...

”--Whoaahhhhhh!

He was interrupted by a high-pitched scream.

It's a common occurrence in the labyrinth.

Everyone is challenging themselves at their own risk, so normally I would keep my heart cold and ignore it. However, this time the screams were of the wrong kind.

A high-pitched scream.

In other words, it was the voice of a child.

If this had been the voice of an adult, I would have been able to walk past it. But when it's a child, my conscience starts to assert itself.

I knew it was hypocrisy, but it was painful to keep fighting my conscience here.

The night in the other world, which is even harder to sleep through, becomes even harder to sleep through.

I run in the direction of the scream, disgusted with my s*xuality.

--I'll go quickly and quickly help.

I unfold the 《Dimension》 and acquire information before I arrive.

A few hundred meters away. In a wide corridor with a wide width, a party of four people were engaged with the monsters.

A giant monster with countless tentacles rages in the center, and there are about ten octopus-shaped monsters that seem to be its attendants.

One boy in our party of four had been captured by the monster.

The twin-tailed girl is about to forcefully charge at the boy to save him. The other two are dealing with an octopus-shaped monster in their midst, and they can't seem to cover him.

--This is the worst.

A party of searchers about my age. And there are even women and children in the party.

If I leave them to die, my stress will be too much.

I keep running as fast as I can, and the water in the corridor around me increases.
