We changed to a member of the labyrinth attack team and we proceeded down the passage. Then there were more parting paths than the first labyrinth. It's going to take some time because we don't know the whole story, but we're touching the wall of the labyrinth with our left hand as we go.

Then I arrived at the second room. I asked about the enemy and Ix and Setia answered.

'It's a monster with the face of a cow and the body of a human.

A weapon is a stick with a spiked end.

Half-bull, half-man, half-bull, half-slayer, with a weapon like a mace, is famous in Japan. He is known as a prisoner who tortures the departed who are believed to be in hell. He's a bull-headed demon with a human body. His name is Gozu.

He's also known as the demon of hell, along with a fellow prisoner, Mezu.

If this prediction is correct, the enemy is likely to be fire-attributed. Assuming that, I chose a formation. I chose Rian, Konoha, Chess, Byakuya, Yuu Fang, and Iyuki as the members. Since Safi couldn't be used here, I chose Byakuya, who has white in her name.

I summoned Rian to ask if I should use Ion, and I got an unexpected reply.

''Everyone is there and. It's okay. I'm Tact-senpai's summoner too, so leave it to me.''

When you say that, you have to leave it to them. I enter the room with the members. There was an enemy there just as I was told. However, he is a brave man with only a mace and a loincloth as equipment. When I identified them, my expectations were slightly off.

An ox-headed demon (Gozuuki)?
?　?　?

I don't regret being wrong. And I'm almost right. While I was thinking about this, the bull-headed demon attacked Lian and the others. There's no need to question this guy.

"Moaoaoaoaoao!

Gaaaah!

Chess meets the bull-headed demon's mace with ice armor and defense. Then Chess's ice armor is shattered and Chess is blown away.

''What ......?''

The cow-headed demon holds the mace up to a naturally stunned Rian. The mace is then filled with fire and a martial arts light is released. Not good!

Leanne!　Run!

Oh!

Lian realizes he's in trouble, but he's completely unable to move.

''Mr. Yu Fang!''

Gow!

Iyuki and Yuu Fang manage to activate their ice armor in an attempt to defend themselves.

''Da, no!''

It's such an attack that he was blown away by the chess. Rian realizes that Iyuki and Yu Fang can't stand it, and he raises his voice as well, but that doesn't stop the ox-headed demon's attack. The bull-headed demon's mace is swung down on the three of them.

''Ho!''

Konoha kicked Mace in the ice claw and changed course. But the pinch continues. The mace hit the ground and debris hit Rian and the others. Is that the same move as Lily's Grand Slash!

Gaaaah!

Byakuya uses his spiritual power to stop the shards that were attacking him, and returns the shards to the cow-headed demon. He eats the shards and the bull-headed demon is frightened. In the meantime, he joins up with Chess, who was blown away.

Chess was badly damaged but managed to survive. You want to recover from it, but unfortunately you can't.

"Chess-san, Rian sister. Are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm sorry, I was upset...

'Your sister will be fine, Leanne.　Ah!　They're coming!　Instructions, please!

"Well, um... how do I...

Leanne looks at me. I point to the sky. He asked me to leave it to Rian, but since he asked, I can at least give him a hint. Maybe Rian will now understand my intentions for this formation.

''Huh?　Up?　Empty?　Ah!

Apparently, he's noticed. Rian gives Isetsu instructions.

'Isetsu!　I need a snowfall!

I understand!

Iyuki starts to sing and the snow starts to fall.

'I'll give you time to get the snow to pile up!　Mr. Konoha, Byakuya and Yu Fang!　Please stall with me. Mr. Chess, please provide cover.

Leanne tells us to get everyone moving. That's fine. It's a basic tactic to fight where we're best first. The question is whether we can buy ourselves some time. Rian, with his fighting spirit revived, will be fine. After all, it's a good weapon to buy time.

"Lancer!　Buck Lancer!

It's a harassment tactic used by Kego before. This combo of stabbing and repeatedly stabbing away is a great way to buy time. In fact, the bull-headed demon's mace can't reach him and he's constantly striking out. Even so, the bull-headed demon is also a long weapon, so it's a cold sweat.

Konoha and the others also attacked the bull-headed demon, and before you know it, the entire area was covered in snow. Rian and the ox-headed demon were caught in the snow, but Rian was rescued by Byakuya with his spiritual power.

It would be a checkmate now. Rian sings in the distance and the buffs activate. Furthermore, as the song changes to a lonely one, the cow-headed demon stops moving, and damage is also done. Perhaps it's a charm and a curse song. Taking this as a cue, Iyuki and the others began to strike back.

Iyuki and the others moved freely through the snow, sometimes hiding and dodging attacks. And when they appear, they bite and slash and hide again. The bull-headed demons also use fire breaths, wear fire on their bodies, and wield maces, but this time breaths, feathers, and ice are flying in the air.

The bull-headed demon tries to manage it and aims at Rian, but it can't attack due to the provocation of the chess. And when he attacks the chess, he dives into the snow and his attack doesn't hit. That's bad.

As a result, the cow-headed demon had to just endure it with only a loincloth equipment. The cow-headed demon was so battered that it was impossible to tell which of them was being tortured, and the cow-headed demon's last stop was Yixue.

''Snowman!''

A giant snowman fell from above the cow-headed demon's head and ended up being crushed. This is what the snowman skill was all about. Then comes the info.

'Lian's spear skill level has reached 15. We have acquired the spear martial skill [Whirlwind Ring].''

Iyuki comes over here.

''It's a complete victory!　Dad!　Praise me!

Yeah. Well done. Iyuki.

"Heh-heh-heh.

He strokes Iyuki's head and then strokes everyone else's head. Finally, he strokes Rian's head.

'Oh, um!　Because I failed!

'Sure, the first one didn't work. But I've been attacked by a monster. We all cower at times. But afterwards, Leanne put up a good fight, and I want to give her credit for that. And I want to give you credit for that.

"Tact-senpai...

"Today's experience will make you stronger, Leanne. You need to reflect on what you didn't do well and take the good things and apply them to the next.

Rian nodded strongly at my words. There was confidence in his eyes.

In this battle, I once again recognized the strength of Konoha, Chess, Yu Fang and Iyuki in snow combat. The snow combat, where they would hide and then attack repeatedly, was quite unbelievable. The people of Vineleaf are well able to advance their attack.

While I was praising Lian and analyzing the battle, Chess, Byakuya, and Yu Fang brought out the weapons that the ox-headed demon was using.

Gold Crushing Rods: rare degree 6 hammering Quality C-
Weight: 80 Endurance Value: 80 Attack Power: 60
Additional effects: physical destruction, spell attack
Prisoner's Weapon. It is strong against hard enemies and specializes in hurting and killing opponents with additional damage when striking them. It is a very heavy weapon, and requires considerable muscle power to master it.

Oh... It's called a gold crushing rod. I didn't know this weapon...I didn't know that. It's a hammer. I think it would be a mace or a club, but it probably doesn't have a weapon type, and the closest thing to it is a hammer. It's a hammering weapon, you know.

With my members, only Lily and Moonshine Night can equip it. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're looking for. I have a feeling it's pretty vicious.

Let's move on because the pathway has appeared.
