169-163 After all, another dimension

Since it is called a labyrinth of intrigue, there are traps scattered everywhere.

The trouble is that the traps heal after a short time after disarming them, and apparently it's not easy to traverse the labyrinth.

It is a forbidden labyrinth that has been traversed many times in the past, but apparently none of the party has ever returned without dying.

It's supposed to be, but Master and Kefin are disarming the traps one after another, and they don't even encounter the demons that much.

'This labyrinth, compared to other labyrinths, only has distorted walls and ceilings, and no demons appear?　Or is this really a labyrinth where no demons can be released without traps being triggered?

When I close my eyes, I am amazed at the density of magic elements in this labyrinth.

I had only reached the first half of the first ten levels, but I was advancing without a single battle.

However, I was feeling the pressure that the demon race could be out here.

''When we were there, we were trapped on the fifteenth level and it was a hydra, so I don't think we'll get any bad demons.

She's acting stout, but she's shaking with her sisters, and while I can sympathize with her trying to overcome her trauma, I don't think she's going to be a force to be reckoned with.

It seems that the last trap has been lifted until we enter the boss room on the tenth level.

''The demons in the main room are random, so just look at the Lord and act instantly... are you sure you're okay, Luciel?''

The master of the main room is random. When I got that information, I decided that I would be the one to enter the main room.

''Yes. If possible, I'll draw a ghost-type demon.

I said and proceeded to open the door, advancing to the center with my weapon at the ready, and out came the unfortunate Big Wraith.

When I activated Purification without a chant, it was cleansed at once and disappeared with a pale light.

''That was an easy win. Well then, Master, Kefin, please do it again from here.''

I laughed at that, and for some reason my master let out a sigh, Lionel and the others laughed at me, and my sisters stuttered at me.

'Don't forget that we're here to do battle, right?

I was so ruined by my master.

It's a labyrinth with no demons at all, but they really do have a lot of traps to disarm, and they proceed in a harmonious manner.

And when they reached the fifteenth layer, the master shoots a word at the sisters.

'Do you want to fight the hydra and get over the trauma?　Do you want to fight everyone and still win?

The two men nodded, despite their blue faces.

'Well, if we don't have this many enemies, let's get them out and go.

You don't want to die instantly, do you?

Everyone nodded in unison when I told them that.

I won't let anyone be defeated, including me. Vowing again in my heart to save them all alive and not dead, we entered the transporter zone to where Hydra was, guided by the two of them, and warped into the transporter zone.

The only impression I had of it was that it was a multi-headed dragon, and the only thing I could think of was that the breath might fly.

When I fought a fire dragon a year ago, I was beaten to a pulp, but for some reason I didn't have any fear at all.

''Gya-ooh!''

It was a roar that made even the labyrinth tremble, and it was so echoing and annoying that I couldn't help but yell back.

''Five-headed little fish, don't bark!

When I yelled at Hydra, he seemed to have set his sights on the target while being hostile to us, but maybe it was because he was a dragon species, but he wasn't afraid of us at all.

I hurriedly activated the area barrier and watched my master and Lionel's movements as I kept track of everyone's movements.

As I held up my Holy Dragon Spear and Illusion Sword, I noticed that Hydra was wary of me and Master, and I remembered that Master was also a dragon slayer.

When I make eye contact with my master, he comes up to me and teaches me about how to attack the hydra.

'Look Luciel, multi-headed dragons basically release long-range attack breaths, but only two or three at a time. Other than that, all they can do is bite and use their tails to attack you.

Do you ever scratch me with those big arms?

'There's no time to be spitting breath. What you have to be careful about is not standing in front and behind. From the side, it's easier to attack from the side because you can see the head that's releasing the breaths. Watch.

The master said, and when he appeared beside Hydra, who found himself a few thirty meters away, he sliced off his right arm from near his shoulder, not his head, while brushing off the breath, and kicked the dragon's head back to us.

'I forgot to mention that with multi-headed dragons, sometimes their heads regenerate, and one minute you think they were spitting out fire breaths, the next they'll be spitting out petrified breaths, so be careful. War demon, I'm going to slash you for the trouble, so burn it.

Master, I'm not likely to be able to do that move first.

I'm sure you won't listen to my weaknesses, but if I can make the same move as Master, I'm sure that's world class.

''Don't get caught up in running away late.

Who the hell do you think I am?　I'll leave you one head.

The master laughed at Lionel's lightheartedness, and with another tremendous speed, he approached Hydra from the opposite flank this time, throwing something from his pocket while slicing off his left arm.

The next moment, a tremendous light was emitted.

A flash of light!　When I was surprised, Lionel activated his great sword of fire and swung it four times at a speed that was just barely recognizable, and four fireballs about two meters in diameter flew through the air with tremendous speed.

And in the blink of an eye, they landed on the hydra, burning the base of the neck and cutting it off.

As I was surprised by the sound of that landing explosion, my master was laughing next to me before I knew it.

'Huh?　If we flank them, we won't have to worry about them taking damage, will we?

I'm sorry for the sunny smiling master, but this battle is not helpful at all.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly as I shouted that in my mind.

No, I'm sure it wasn't just me, but everyone except my master and Lionel were drawn to the battle between the two of them.

I had no idea why someone who had the ability to kill Hydra in the blink of an eye was stationed in the guild, or why my master had quit being an adventurer.

"Gahhhhhhhh!

My thoughts are drowned out by Hydra, who tries to fight me even when I'm one head.

'Do some damage and you can become a dragon slayer. Go ahead and graze them all.

Lionel tells them all.

I had no choice but to take command from here.

'Be careful with the breathers, and I don't necessarily mean your head won't regenerate, but if you're going to do any damage, attack the slit of both arms or the base of your head to wound it. I'll just be careful with the bracelets.

"'What?'" "'Yes' "'Yes'

We launched an all-out attack on Hydra.

Lydia, who held her spirit staff at the ready, muttered something and a spear of fire and wind appeared in the air and flew to Hydra and hit it directly.

Whether it's anger due to pain or frustration at the fact that a lower-ranked person attacked from Hydra's point of view when she became one head, Hydra let out a terrific roar.

I stood in front and waited for the breath to come, and then, contrary to my expectations, I spun around there and, with my tail, mowed down Estia and Nadia, including me, and was gouged out of my wounds by Keti and Kefin, who ran up the wall and kicked and jumped at me.

That kept the three of us from falling prey to their tails.

I tried to focus my aim on Ketty and spit out a breath, but it was already too late.

Estia and Nadia shoved their swords into the base of my arms, and with me doing my best to strengthen my body, I swung the illusory sword out and dropped the last head.

And as a no-no, I inserted the holy dragon's spear into the base of the neck that had just been cut off.

The hydra shattered as soon as it wobbled back and fell, leaving behind a magic stone.

For some reason, for the first time, I felt like I had fought like a party and defeated a demon.

But now I decided to be honestly happy that I had won the big one.

Now that I've defeated the hydra, won't I become a dragon killer immediately?

He thought that some might wonder that, but it was common knowledge that you didn't get the title until you were leaving the labyrinth.

It would mean that it was an excursion and a battle until they returned.

Even so, Master and Lionel's strength was a little too different dimension to be helpful, but by the time they left this labyrinth, they were a little closer to their strength and fired up for a peaceful life.
