211 From 210.56 layer.txt (2/2)

If we don't say he's getting stronger with this, who will say he's getting stronger?

''As a wind-attribute knight, there's no one more complete than Ryner. For example, even if this kind of terrain comes up: ......

We didn't stop our feet from moving through the labyrinth as we talked.

After defeating the Skyrunner, which was an obstacle, we were in the next area. The stone corridor changes shape and becomes an even rougher path. Rather than a wall, the path became sandwiched between cliffs and became a steep, rocky path.

Flat roads are no longer common, and there are times when you have to climb over precipitous cliffs.

This is when the liner's magic comes into play.

The ”-Wind.

Thank you, Rainer.

Thanks to the buoyancy of the wind, he can climb the cliffs as fluidly as an antelope would up a cliff.

The subtle magic manipulation (control) trained by the Lord reduces the wasteful consumption of magic and strength. The range of wind magic can be covered by natural recovery, so the liner's MP has not actually decreased.

With Ryner's current application power, he would be able to act freely even in the thirty-five layers that were completely underwater.

'This way, I can respond well. I think this flexibility is strength. I believe that liner can fight any guardian, depending on how it's done.

This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but - I hope so.

After all, there are three guardians existing in the world right now: Aide, Lord and Nosfy. I'm not sure I'm going to be the only one who can do this. If that's the case, go to ......--

Oh, really?

...... First of all, unlike me, you have the basics down.

I will explain Ryner's strengths from my perspective.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's probably the result of the academy's education. Of course, there were times when that education caused me to be trapped in stereotypes, but that has already been resolved.

I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it.

In addition, he has also learned to use his magic management (shouting with all his might using rubi), which is my direct teaching.

It's a good thing that I can do a lot of things, so I can fight where my opponent doesn't want to. I can only fight in close quarters, so I'm very jealous.

'You fight where they don't want to, or ....... It's not a way I'd like to fight as a knight, but I can't say that when I'm in a fight I can't afford to lose. ......

Frankly, as someone who covers and directs the rear guard, those liners are very useful.

I don't think I've ever heard you say that before.

I think this is especially true since I've only ever had friends who were either fully specialized or personality problem types.

The companion who can make the most of the skill 'command' that I acquired yesterday would be Ryner. I think I've got the skill 'command' because I was fighting with Ryner.

It's a good idea to keep this up and fight again. It's a lot easier because of the light hierarchy in between. ......, the next monster seems to be a bird. Let's do the same thing as before. Reiner, do the best you can. If it goes down, I'll draw it in with the Deforto.

Yes, sir!

On the way up the cliff while talking, you are attacked by a new bird-shaped monster.

[Monster] Rio Shesi Eagle: rank 53.

It has a name and appearance similar to the Rio Eagle near the 20th layer. Perhaps they are upwardly compatible.

And although we were in a bad position, let alone a foothold, we were in no hurry to fight. This is because as long as you have magic power, you won't die from falling. Above all, we sincerely trust each other to follow each other.

The Rio Shesi Eagle, who didn't have any particularly alarming abilities, is dealt with in a short amount of time, just like the Skyrunner earlier. All Ryner has to do is intercept them as they come at me and I shift from behind. It's monotonous, but it's a tactic that the enemy can't prevent.

Thus, the Rio Shesi Eagle that was pierced through the heart became light and its magic stone fell down the cliff.

Angry that we can't retrieve the magic stone when fighting on a cliff, we also defend the enemy's subsequent attack. Like Rio Eagle, he was the type to call out to his enemies, so we ended up taking out all the Rio Shesiegles in the vicinity.

Then, after twenty minutes of intercepting and climbing the cliff, we finally reached the front of the stairs leading to the fifty-fourth level.

After lightly grasping the next layer with the customary 《Dimension》, we quickly rushed in. This is because we have no trouble fighting on the cliffs, and we know that the next layer will be much easier.

We proceeded to the fifty-fourth level, wrapped in the unique sensation of attacking the labyrinth as we aimed upwards. There were a few special areas here and there, such as cliffs, but it's basically a normal stone corridor.

In addition, the enemies are weaker now, so we take the shortest route through the labyrinth and run through it as fast as we can. When it comes to this, what we have to worry about is the distribution of physical and magical power. Even though it's getting easier, we still have a long way to go. We want to use as little MP as possible.

As part of this, we encourage them to change weapons.

When I'm dealing with the Rio Shesi Eagle, who I've fought many times in the past hour, I pass forward the information I'm sure of by being observant.

'--Rainer!　Obviously, this is an opponent with a bad wind street!　Turn the Sylph Bringer into the One Wing and fight!　And if we're dealing with this guy, let's save the wind magic!

'Come to think of it, there was a third one!　I will!

Ryner dexterously returned one of his swords to its scabbard and replaced it with his newly acquired sword yesterday.

The ”One Wing” is a weapon that has not regained its original power. It is probably a sword that is several levels inferior to the ”Sylph Bringer”. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

But even so, the One Wing is better suited for dealing with the Rio Shesi Eagle.

I'm not going to be able to tell the difference between the two. If the liner attacked and tried to escape without killing him instantly, I, who was holding back, could finish him off with a throwing projectile instead of using wind magic to chase him down.

By conserving magic power, the battle time was extended a bit, but we defeated them without any problems. This battle, we didn't use any MP at all.

'It's so much easier to fight when Christ tells you what to do: ......'

''No, I don't think it's quite there yet. The skill 'command' value still seems low.

'No, before that it was led by an amateur, Shea Legacy, and before that it was led by Sister Fran: ......

Compared to those two, it's quicksilver: ......

He probably had no experience fighting alongside a decent leader. Ryner was impressed by the situation where he could play the vanguard in peace.

He watched it with a bitter smile as he moved further back.

And while searching for the enemy in the rear, he ruminates on Ryner's words of ”easy to fight”.

With the enemy's ranks dropping and the unique conditions such as cliffs gone, that word probably came out naturally. It's a good idea to be careful, but I honestly feel the same way.

...... Okay.

I decide to ignore (or go through) whatever monster is going to be in the future first. I will run up as fast as I can without even checking the abilities of my opponent, just worrying about my physical condition. We should have entered a realm where that is possible.

'From here, I'll swing my sword in front of you too. From here, let's hurry up to go further and further.''

He pulls out the ”Straight Sword of Crescent Pectrazi” and announces that I, with my full strength and MP, will be joining the vanguard.

''Roger, Lord (leader). There's no way I would have any objections.

Ryner, who had full confidence in him, agreed without a pause.

Thus, the full-scale forced march begins.

Ignoring the terrain, the enemy, and everything else.

Even if he finds an altar with a rare monster or a divine weapon, he ignores it.

Ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore.

Faster. Faster, faster and faster--.

So repeating my mind, I proceed and Ryner and I run through the fifty-fourth layer.

After that, without pause, we plunged into the fifty-three layers and proceeded in the same way again.

Naturally, there were times when monsters attacked us from behind on the road. When this happens, we don't hesitate to spend our magic power and force our way forward. We had the magic to do just that.

More and more 'faster' -, 'faster', 'faster', 'faster' -!

Like the chanting, I hope to return to earth as fast as I can.

For that 'acceleration', the 'price' to be lost would be 'safety'.

However, the effect of that chanting was dramatic.

I was out of breath, and although I was attacked by enemies on several occasions, I am certain that we were able to capture it in less than half the time it took to explore.

Thus, we succeeded in accelerating our labyrinth exploration.

Probably, in theory, the fastest--.

◆◆◆◆◆

And about four hours have passed since this forceful labyrinthine search began.

The labyrinth search, which aims to reach the ground, gets easier the further you go. I didn't think at all in the sixty layer platform, but I finally began to realize the benefits of this.

There were no monsters with bizarre evasive powers, nor were there monsters with bizarre mobility. He cleared the fifty-three and fifty-two layers without any problems, and the fifty-three and fifty-two layers were similarly clear.

However, it was the fifty layers after that that that had problems.

A layer that I knew there would be another one, but it hadn't been here before.

There was a completely hollow layer waiting for me.

And even though it was exactly the same size and height as the sixty-six layers - there was no spiral staircase in the center.

The space between the fifty layers and fifty layers, half of the labyrinth, was a structure that refused to turn back.

Perhaps it was originally a difficult layer to descend, but the situation of the labyrinth running backwards was generating another difficulty. Standing on the ground where not a single blade of grass or tree grew, unlike the 66 layers, I glared at the sky while muttering a complaint in my mind to the guy who created this labyrinth.

After glaring ...... a little bit of thought, I quickly come up with the best solution.

''Haha, it can't be helped. Let's use 《Default》.

It's a problem, but it's still an easy problem to solve. In fact, I think it's a tailwind for us.

If we do well, we can clear fifty layers in a matter of minutes. If we keep up this pace, we'll be on the ground within the first day.

Is that all right with you?　If I wanted to fly, I could fly with wind magic.

'No, I have more MP than you do. And with all the monsters wandering around on the way, I need to finish moving in an instant. ...... Hang on a second. --magic, Dimension Multiple Expansion (Multiple)

Extend dimensional magic into the sky.

But instead of spreading it out over a wide area, it's like drawing a line to a hole that leads to fifty layers.

The image of magic is a 'ruler'.

In order to reduce the consumption of 《Default》 magic power, I measure the distance with millimeter-level accuracy.

With my eyes closed, I deliberately shut off my sense of touch, hearing, and smell, and specialize my thoughts in measuring the distance.

There was no need to think about the effects of the wind and magic in the sky above, so the measurement was quickly completed.

The distance from the stone ground to the edge of the cavity above is ...... two thousand two hundred and seventy-four meters seventy-eight centimeters three millimeters - no, around four millimeters. An error of less than a tenth of a millimeter should be within acceptable limits.

Now we're ready to go.

'Reiner, hold on. We'll 'fly' soon.

What, already?

...magic.

He takes the liner's hand and activates the ”Default” according to the calculated distance.

It's an unprecedented long-distance compression of space, but it doesn't consume a lot of MP. The heart of this magic is the compression of space, and that is where it consumes the most magic. Therefore, it won't hurt you if you only increase the distance.

After the sensation of your body being pulled, the distance instantly decreases to zero.

Then you are thrown up into the sky with a floating sensation.

First, I throw the liner into the big hole and toss it in. I grab the edge of the big hole and climb up to the fifty layers.

After safely reaching the 50th layer, we took a look at our surroundings.

”So, this is the 50th layer ....... So it's the Lord's layer .......

The sprawling world was a grassland.

Forty layers of his brother Ayde's layer - and a structure similar to the sixty-sixth layer of the most recent Viaisia, which was not particularly novel.

A gust of wind was blowing as it hit the body, as if claiming to be a wind attribute, but that was all.

Ryner checked the danger around him and then walked away.

'But, Christ. The Lord's guy is behind the sixty-sixth layer right now. What about the guardians in this case? No one comes out?

'Maybe so. If I could, I'd like to take a short break here and then proceed, but .......

Without the guardians (guardians), the fifty layers would be a good layer to rest on.

I've been walking for hours now. If possible, I'd like to take a short break to rest my feet.

As I keep walking to check the safety of the layers, the clouds are gradually becoming more and more suspicious. That's not a metaphorical expression, but a realistic one. As we approached the center of the fifty layers, the clouds began to flood the ceiling, even though we were inside the labyrinth.

And finally, raindrops would fall from the clouds.

Combined with the gusts of wind in the labyrinth, it was as if they were in the middle of a storm. The grasses on the ground undulated like a great oceanic torrent.

'It looks like it's raining in the middle. ”It looks like it's raining in the middle.

It was when I tried to get out of the center, which was not suitable for a break.

In the middle of the storm - in the center of the fifty layers - there was a figure.

The figure, which had been kneeling, was now just about to stand up.

There was a sense of deja vu in the scene.

It only looked like a 'summons' when a human invaded the guardian (guardian) layer.

'Lo, Lord ......?'

I immediately muttered the name of the person I thought of while expanding the Dimension.

However, the person who was there was--
