137 137. Lousy Advance Corps




 Walking through the labyrinth with Lara and three others.

It's so lousy.

 I muttered to myself as we searched for a path to the lower levels.

"What?
"Kurt, what do you mean?
You look dumbfounded. ......

 Lara, Marise, and Cynthia responded immediately.

No, ...... there were some dead demons on the way here, right?
"Yes, yes. But this is an underground labyrinth, so it's not that unusual, right?

 In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at our own website.
 There is also a first team of brave men and women.
 So there's nothing wrong with the "demon corpse" part. .......

There is nothing wrong with the part 'there is a dead body of a demon'. It's not just that he wielded a messed up sword, cast a messed up spell, and finally defeated it. If this is the case, the ...... advance team won't last long.

 When you wield a sword, you lose strength. I'm not sure what to do.
 I'm not sure how this is going to work in just two layers.

 It's quite a flashy way to fight.
 But flashy is not always a good thing.
 It's best to use the minimum amount of movement and magic power to pierce the demon's vital points and finish it off.

And that's not the only thing that's lousy.
"What?

 Lara raises her voice.

"Grrrr!

 And that's not all.

It was foolish of you to leave the demon unattended. How foolish of you.

 In disgust, he fights off the attacking demon with his fire spear.

 Concentrate on one point.

 There's no need to use any more powerful magic.
 The demon with the big hole in its chest stopped its life activity this time.

"Qu, Kurt!
"Lara, this is an underground labyrinth. Stay alert.
I thought you were dead!
I thought you were dead! Always be alert.

 When I warned her, she nodded with a serious look in her eyes.

 That was probably a demon that the first team couldn't kill.
 It's not that they purposely didn't finish the job ......, it's just that they didn't check to see if they were really dead.
 Such details can make the difference between life and death on the battlefield.
 If I hadn't been there, Lara would have been badly damaged. ...... Either way, you can never be too careful.

 With that in mind, we continued to move deeper and deeper into the woods.

 Then suddenly we came to an open space.

I've got a bad feeling about this. ......

 Marise stopped and gave me a stern look.

Marise stopped and gave me a stern look. "Marise, that feeling is important. "Marise, that feeling is important, but you don't know what's in there.
Yes, I do. ...... But I do know not to go easily.

 In the event that you have any kind of questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
 It's a good idea to have a look at .......

Cynthia.
Yeah, ...... Cynthia, I know, .......

 Cynthia is a green magician who is skilled at creating and disarming traps and analyzing them,.......
 Cynthia narrowed her eyes.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes, "...... are there thirty or forty ...... pitfalls, or more than a hundred?

 Cynthia narrowed her eyes and said, "There are 30 or 40 pitfalls.

Well done, Cynthia. Well done, Cynthia. You're right, there are one hundred and three.

 I patted Cynthia on the head.
 I stroked Cynthia's head. She let out a pleasant "Huh ......".

I envy you.
"Cynthia, you're amazing! And over a hundred pitfalls?

 Lara and Maryse were watching, envious and amazed.

Lara and Marise were envious and amazed. "Well, if you were an adventurer of the ...... caliber, you wouldn't have even noticed the existence of the pitfalls, let alone the number of them. You wouldn't think they'd have so many traps on the second level, would you?

 It's not just an underground labyrinth, after all.
 They're really refusing to let adventurers in.
 The difficulty level up to this point is comparable to that of the underground labyrinths of a thousand years ago. ...... I wonder what is waiting for us further down.
 The thought of it gave me goose bumps.

It's a good idea to avoid the pitfalls as you go along,......!

 Lara makes a clenched fist.

That's right. Lara clenched her fist. "That's right. Cynthia and I can figure out the exact location of the pits.

 You'll be able to see the exact location of the pitfalls.

Let's get on with it.
"Wait a minute.

 I grabbed Lara by her clothes and stopped her.



"That's the regular route, avoiding the pitfalls. But this time I think I'll take the back way.

 I invoke levitation magic on myself and the three of us.
 Our bodies float up.

"Whoa!
What's going on?
It's fluffy and ...... kind of uncomfortable.

 The three of us are confused by the unfamiliar sensation.

I'm not sure what to do.

 And so I came with the three of them to the sky above a certain ground.
 There's a pit underneath.
 It's cleverly hidden, but ...... I'm sorry I'm the one you're dealing with.

"Rockfall.

 As soon as I said it, some rocks fell to the ground.

 Poko.
 That's how the pit appeared.

 Looking at the dark hole, it seemed to have been dug so deep that I couldn't tell how far it went.

"?

 The three of them looked at me strangely, as if they didn't understand what I was doing.
 To these three, I say.

"This is the 'secret path'. If you fall into this hole, you will be able to take a shortcut through several layers to the lower levels.

《Secret path》.
 To reiterate, this is a kind of backdoor that allows you to skip the underground labyrinths that are normally only accessible one layer at a time.
 Using this, it is possible to go from one layer to ten layers at once .......
 This is a method often used by advanced users of underground labyrinths.

Oh, really? You found that out of over a hundred pits?
I'm pretty sure that's what Kurt is saying. ...... You're an amazing person, aren't you?
...... Cynthia, I hadn't noticed ...... that much.

 The three of them shouted in surprise.

I'm not sure what to make of that. An ordinary adventurer would have been so distracted by the pits that he wouldn't have known that much.

 At any rate, I'm glad we were able to find the Secret.
 I jumped into the hole with the three of them.
