The squad, which had grown to nearly eighty people in total, was divided into several groups.

The first group will advance to capture Jasuan-dono, the second group will set up a base in front of the boss room on the 30th level, the third group will wait outside, and the last group will start with us on the first level and advance in turn.

It's not because we can't trust the map that Mr. Bird Beastman made us copy yesterday, it's because we thought we might have missed something.......only 30%.

The Labyrinth of Trials had been explored alone, and it had taken quite a bit of time just to examine one level.

This time, our objective is to increase the accuracy of the map and secure the magic stones through manpower tactics.

I asked Paula and Dolan how many magic stones are needed for the object I want to build, and they found out that I would need a large number of fire attribute magic stones alone.

That's the entrance to the labyrinth.

I stopped thinking at the sound of Lord Jasuan's voice and looked ahead to see an entrance at the bottom of a mountain cliff. I was curious about what was going on there, so I asked.

'Does this labyrinth go up instead of down?'

'It is. And it gets hotter every time we go up to it, which is also tricky.

...that information...didn't exist yesterday, did it?

'Is that right? Do you really want to get ahead of that?

If I get angry here, it's bad for the air and it's a loss.

With that in mind, I continue the conversation.

''You may proceed ahead of me. I'll leave the decision about whether you should rest in the main room on the forty levels, or proceed carefully to avoid getting trapped, or whether you're leveling up around the forty levels to Lord Jasuan.''

'Yes, sir. I hope that Luciel-dono and the others will catch up to you soon.

Well, I'll do my best.

As soon as we had this conversation, we arrived at the base camp installation at the entrance of the labyrinth.

I'm sure you'll be able to find your way to the top. I'm sure you'll be able to save yourself from petrification, poisoning or confusion. Our goal is to capture Shazza and the others, but we will capture the labyrinth when the opportunity arises.

Lord Jaspern raised his fist in the air and declared.

The next moment, 'Oh!' And a wild yell echoed around the area.

He asked me to say hello too, but I respectfully declined.

'Then I'll go ahead. I'll see you at a later date.

Yes. Good luck.

After I saw them off, I walked over to Forenoire and the others and cast a cleansing spell on them.

Then I stroked their necks gently, and Forenoire's eyes were like, go for it! I felt like I was saying.

'I'll do my best.'

I said that and then asked the remaining beasties to take care of Forenoir and the others.

Everyone in the party except me is a slave.

It's a common pattern in otherworldly novels, but... something's different! So I told them.

If it's an injury that can be healed, or an abnormality in your condition, I'll save you. So don't ever act recklessly, even if you have to! That's an order.

I looked them all in the face and decided to impose my motto on them.

''Here are my priorities: 1, don't die, 2, secure the magical stone, 3, secure Shazza, and 4 ... if possible, walk through the maze. We'll all get out of here alive, okay?

Oh! It's a mixture of "me", "haha" and "yes" and all sorts of other replies, and I proceeded into the labyrinth with a wry smile on my face, thinking it wasn't tight enough.

It's pretty bright after all.

I mutter this and Doran opens his mouth.

'It is said that the labyrinth will cease to operate and dim if you take out the core. 'It's like a heart,'

We have to get to the core?

After defeating the last master of the labyrinth? It takes a long time to get back, I think that's what it says in the literature.

Will the labyrinth of trials eventually go back to normal? Although I thought about it, it's not something to think about in the labyrinth, so I switched it up and gave them instructions.

'Lionel and the others will stay in my vicinity, while Kefin's, Yarbo's, and Bardell's squads will follow the route shown on the map, checking the map's consistency while eradicating the demons, and gather in front of the staircase you're going up.

""Yes."

I've decided to let them say yes to all orders. I gave them more copies of the maps I drew up yesterday.

The three teams proceeded along the predetermined route once I put area barriers on them.

''Luciel-dono, where is our turn?''

Lionel asked me with a worried look, so I decided to answer him properly.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well. Then we'll go too. When the demons appear, I'll leave it to you.

Ha!

Seeing Lionel happily walking to the front of the group, I felt sorry for the people who were the subordinates of this battle-crazed maniac, as it must have been difficult for them.

The path we were walking on had already been eradicated by the group that came out ahead of us, so it's no secret that I laughed at Lionel's disappointment when he noticed that there were no demons.

In less than ten minutes, I met up with the three squads and asked about the demons that came out while going up to the second level.

''Was it as we were informed?''

'Yes, sir. The map was fine and the demon was a Red Rat.

Kefin, the leader of the raiders, replied that, but they were better than I thought they were.

It seems that you don't need to activate the area barrier for every single level, so from here on out, you can go to one party per level while putting up the area barrier and arrive at the boss room on the tenth level in about ninety minutes.

''According to the information, Red Lizardmen were supposed to appear, but this time it looks like it's only Red Snake, Red Bad and Red Rat, so let's destroy them all at once.

When Kefin's squad opened the door and we entered as well, a swarm of demons with Red Snake at the center appeared, but within minutes, the door to the next level opened.

The reviews of the battle were impressive in that each one was strong, the speed of annihilation was high, and Nahlia was throwing daggers at the Redbuds hanging from the ceiling, taking them out one after another.

''Is Nahlia's main focus being mid-range?''

No, I'm just throwing daggers at them. There's still a man upstairs.

Nahlia laughed at that.

After that, we proceeded without any trouble, and in front of the boss room on the 20th level, I told everyone.

''After we destroy the enemies in this main room, we'll have to eat and take a break, so get fired up.

"Oh!

The atmosphere was getting much better. Lionel and Ketty were gradually getting more and more able to fight the demons, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

But the dwarf duo was in a state where they were talking about things alone.

I agreed to tell them to do some fighting as well, since I didn't know what would happen in the future.

Then the door was opened and out came Red Oak and Red Wolf, but when Dolan touched the ground and Paula held it up, a five-meter class golem appeared.

As we were surprised to see the golem, which is a complete super robot, the golem flew into the air and kicked the Red Orc, and then fired a chase jumping elbow at the Red Orc, turning the Red Orc into a magical stone.

The Red Wolves had taken them down without Keti's knowledge, but the impact of the golem was so strong that we had to be stunned.

The dwarf duo looked satisfied as they high-fived each other.

''........Is that normal?''

"...I've never seen a golem move so smoothly.

Lionel was also very surprised.

'Dolan, Paula, how is that, no, is that a golem?'

"Grandfather and I worked together.

'I can't control it, so I'll make a top thing and Paula will control it. But the less magic in the bracelets Paula is wearing, the less magic she can control, the bigger the golem she can control.

While saying that, he glanced at me as if he was extorting a magic stone.

''........How many magic stones does it take to get that one out? Answer honestly. That's an order.

The dwarf duo looked frustrated, but Paula opened her mouth.

''If we can get the magic stones we get here, we can make them synthesize twenty of them and we'll be fine. But to extend the time, we'll have to make it a little more.''

It always causes problems, but when the two of us join forces in terms of production and combat, this dwarf duo is one hell of a dwarf duo.

With that in mind, I ordered the two of them to hand it over as a magic stone for the golem.

They looked unhappy, but their next words filled them with motivation.

''This isn't a playground. If you do what you are told, I promise to secure the magical stones that will be used for the production after you complete your search in the labyrinth. So, good luck with your orders.

I'll take care of it.

"Hang in there.

I nodded and cleansed the room and began to prepare the meal with Nahlia.
