The entrance to the labyrinth was a large cave, in an unnaturally exuberant hill.
Around the entrance stands guards to accommodate warcraft and subraces overflowing from the labyrinth. I greeted the guards lightly and me and Ashley went inside the labyrinth.
Inside the cave were several small glowing white flowers seen in a goblin nest hole. As I wondered if this was white light grass, I first walked into a small room with a staircase down to the first basement floor.
"Down this staircase it will be the realm of the labyrinth, are you ready?
For Ashley's final confirmation, I'll have her wait and make sure there's no sign of anyone but Ashley around or any light points on the map. Next, I operated the TSS and first stored the long coat I was wearing.
In line with my labyrinth exploration in this D-rank promotion exam, I changed my main uniform from the MP5A4 I used until then to the FN P90.
The FN P90 is made by the Belgian company FN and belongs to short machine guns, the same as the Five-seveN, which is equipped with sub uniforms. Features include an ergonomic easy-to-handle design and a 5.7x28mm ammunition dedicated ammunition ammunition, which boasts a high penetration force against rigid bodies compared to regular pistol rounds, causing warheads to rotate chaotically inside landed ammunition against software such as the human body and destroy the body significantly without penetration.
This was a change from wanting to avoid piercing bullets and bouncing bullets hitting others in the event of a riot in fighting in a narrow space called a labyrinth, and the P90's magazine can be loaded with as many as 50 rounds, in search of high continuous combat capability.
Place a P90 and peek, return, peek, and return at the iron sight you removed, not the dot sight fitted by default.
Make sure you are not uncomfortable migrating to the down site, say tactical lights from the hip pouch, attachments like flashlights to be fitted to firearms and take out two silencers, attach tactical lights next to the iron site and also attach silencers. Similarly, a silencer is attached to the Five-seveN and returned to the waist.
"Ready, let's go"
Speaking to Ashley, who sees me as Nico, I finally started my first labyrinth expedition.
◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆
The Labyrinth of the Tooth Wolf, as its name suggests, is centered on Glasswolf, with many warcraft living in the eastern woods, and the subrace only comes out about goblins. The road width on the first floor of the labyrinth was wide and, as I read in advance in the General Guild's library, continued as it varied with a width of nearly 6-10 m.
Me and Ashley were in line for Ashley to follow me, rather than walk side by side. While on the front and rear alert, Ashley and I hear how to explore the labyrinth in general, it seems that many PTs are either putting their scouts at the forefront or adopting a queue lined up with shields in two servings.
"Approximately 3 approaching from the tip of the curve in front. Mr. Ashley, a little further back, please."
"Yes, take care"
The footsteps I hear from the front would be Glasswolf, three scattered eared footsteps rhythms, I disarmed the P90 safety device, kneeling in front of me about 20m curving to the right, downsizing and overlapping the crosshair and iron sights, I waited a little while and Glasswolf's head came out of the tip of the curve.
The moment I could tell that was Glasswolf, I pulled the trigger on the P90, the selector is full auto, so I shot Glasswolf in the head with about 3-5 shots fired and said to trigger back, ”tap shot” or ”finger cut” etc. The second and third, who were then seen, similarly slip their crosshairs and shoot.
Due to the silencer's effect, the first battle in the labyrinth ended in just a few seconds with a very small sound and just a tattoo and a tattoo.
"Mr. Schwartz's skills are still amazing... beginners of exploration are confused by this aisle width and struggle with even one glass wolf"
"The way I fight is fundamental to the medium and long range combat in this ARMS. If we get ahead of ourselves, we'll be able to get rid of Glasswolf before it's a fight."
Having said that, I don't know how to set up a P90, but I slowly approach Glasswolf. But the glasswolves, who could be killed before they set up, disappeared as if sinking into the labyrinth, wrapped in black pockets. The only thing that remained in the place where it had been shot was the little demonic stone that was at its core.
"It's the demon stone of the wind, it's a good attribute to pick from the glass wolf"
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, but maybe the labyrinth still fits me, because I can't use a tool bag, and it's tough for me to bring it back as a material even if I kill a warcraft. But if you just collect a few of these demonic stones, you won't need a big bag like that. Besides, this aisle width makes it harder to avoid my attacks."
With that said, he picks up the demon stone and puts it in a luggage bag hanging from his hip magazine belt.
"Does Mr. Schwartz choose the path of the Seeker? Certainly, even Mr. Schwartz, who has no magic, may be expected to earn a great deal, but there are few cases where the seeker will be seriously injured or unable to return. It's too dangerous to do it solo..."
"There won't be anyone to throw a party with me from" The Exorcism ". Besides, I can't take advantage of the way I fight without working with people with the same kind of means of attack.
Working with melee subjects will, on the contrary, put you at risk. It's okay, don't look so worried. "
I turned to Mr. Ashley and loosened my mouth. Mr. Ashley's expression didn't float, but I still have to do it, to live in this other world, I need a demon stone without attributes to fight. Perhaps there are also options for fighting and living an unrelated way, I had no idea what to do at first or what to do.
But now, I feel like I've been dropped to fight in this other world.
"Let's move on, Mr. Ashley. We've only just begun our quest."
"... yes, right, let's move on"
Me and Mr. Ashley resumed our quest and moved on. From there, listening to the footsteps of warcraft and sub-races, he repeatedly shot them instantly the moment he saw them, waiting for their approaching enemies, retrieving the demonic stones. And about half way down the first basement floor, the first big room approached.
"Mr. Schwartz, there must be more than 10 Warcraft or sub-races in the big room ahead, how do you deal with that?
"Well, is it true that the Warcraft in the big room aren't attacking us unless this one enters the room?"
"Yeah, the Warcraft in the big room are resting there rather than guarding the aisles, surrounding the burning fire that they say is subracial, what a sight you've also witnessed"
I see that the necklace in future explorations is if there are or are a large number of top species in the large room. They say that the labyrinth consists of passageways and small rooms, large rooms, with many but only about five groups of people, but large rooms always have double digits, sometimes with a mixture of superior species there.
If we deal with this multitude, this problem will always accompany us to live as explorers on how to narrow the differences in numbers and what tactics are more efficient to take.
"I have some tools I'd like to use, but they make loud noises, so please keep your ears blocked when using them. And depending on what's going on at the entrance to the big room, be careful not to look directly at it when it sounds. Maybe it'll affect Mr. Ashley, too."
"Sound? Make a loud noise...... what do you do?
"What do you call it, plainly speaking, an attack that generates a state anomaly. So we'll handle it where the enemy panics."
"Is it loud and abnormal?
What I'm trying to use is a special grenade called the 'M84 Flashvan'.
As a basic piece of equipment, I always carry two of these, but until now it was a battle in nature, so I never threw them. But this time, we knew the enemy was staying in the big room, so we decided to use it even in the sense of verifying the effect of this.
The M84 flashvan temporarily paralyzes and renders powerless the sight and hearing of the target due to explosions and flashes. In VMB's interpersonal PvP, since they have headgoggles and earpads, the avatar customization didn't do much good if the head wasn't the peeling avatar type, but until just before I fell into the other world, I was playing PvE, so I stayed equipped.
Enemy, naturally, wasn't wearing any head goggles, so it was very effective for an ambush in a lockdown.
"Yes, if you look at it to use it… but at the same time there is a strong flash of light, which causes a mild visual abnormality."
Approach the large room with a brief description of the M84 flash van to Mr. Ashley. I've already heard a lot of subracial oddities in my ear.
This was also convenient as the entrance to the large room was on the right side of the aisle and was not in a layout going in a straight line. I asked Mr. Ashley to wait behind the entrance and peek inside in lean condition from the aisle.
(1, 2, 3...... 11 or they all look like normal goblins)
Check the number of people in the room and also make sure there is no difference from the number of light points shown in the MAP. The map of the head goggles contained all the large rooms, and the goblins sat solidified in the middle about 20 m on each side. Geez, I'm calling, is that some kind of conversation?
I cautiously retreated to Mr. Ashley's back, informed him that there were 11 goblins, and confirmed again that my signal would block his ears.
Once again go to the side of the entrance, from the grenade pouch at the waist, take out the M84 flash van and signal Mr. Ashley to block his ears.
When I saw my signal, I made sure Mr. Ashley blocked his ear, unplugged the pin on the top of the M84 flashbang, and threw it in with the center of the goblin solidified.
There are many different types of VMB grenades, but many explode in about 3 seconds of throwing. The M84 flashvan also exploded in about 3 seconds, just as the performance of the firearm did not differ between the in-game and this other world. A roar sounds and I am sure the flash has been emitted. At the same time, the crosshair displayed on the head goggles expands to inform that the flash van has hit, confirming the spread and entering the large room at once.
"Gyaaaaaa"
The goblins in the large room held their eyes and ears without leaking, their mouths wide open, screaming different, roaring oddities.
Since we do not know how long the state abnormality to vision and hearing will last due to the M84 flashvan, we will quickly pull the trigger on the P90 and process it quickly one by one.
There is also the risk of an unexpected counterattack, so don't come too close, but stop at a special distance that won't take the bullet off.
But to say 50 rounds of P90 magazine didn't seem to be enough to handle 11, well maybe my fingertips were sweet...... I turned the P90 around my back and quickly pulled the sub soldier outfit Five-seveN out of my waist and processed the remaining goblins.
"I can't believe you shot this number in one offense, and in a few minutes... and that sounded really loud. I was holding my ears, but I felt the air tremble with the roar. I've never even heard of attribute magic that can cause a state anomaly with something like that."
Mr. Ashley came into the center of the room watching him process the goblins in the rear. The dead goblins will be wrapped in order to leave only demonic stones behind. I picked up the remaining demon stone and turned to Mr. Ashley.
"Things have gone according to this assumption, so if you change the way you fight things according to your opponent's situation, I think I can do enough by myself."
"Yeah, I'm relieved if this looks like it. But don't be alarmed."
"Of course it is. Now let's move on! If you go through this big room, there shouldn't be a room up the stairs to the second basement floor, let's just run all at once."
Thus, my first exploration of the labyrinth ended without any problems. On the road to the second basement, no different than before, we clean it all up with a waiting preemptive fire, descend once to the second basement floor, retreat to the first basement floor again, and return to the road we came from.
However, warcraft and sub-races in the Labyrinth will not reappear for hours to days once they are killed. For that reason, I was only walking most of the way home.
