43 Episode 43 Usability of New Powers




One more day has passed since Belzebub returned from hunting the wyverns. ...... We've come to the labyrinth attached to the Elite Academy again.

But this time, we didn't come here to refine Hyrna Metal.
This time, we came here to conquer the labyrinth attached to the Elite Academy to the lowest level and defeat the master of the labyrinth.


Because ...... the labyrinth master is one of the typical raw materials for awakening evolution.

Until now, I had given up on defeating the Labyrinth Lord due to a lack of strength, but now that ...... Caucasus and Belzebub have been strengthened to the point of perfection, that problem has been solved.
Now I can go and collect the materials for the awakening evolution.

In other words, now that we can work on building up our strength in a more rational way, there is no reason not to do so.

The fact that the blue phoenix appeared at the 81st level means that ...... the labyrinth attached to the elite academy is probably one of the shallow dungeons.
It's not a bad choice as the first dungeon to defeat the Labyrinth Lord after reincarnation.

After deciding that, I was going to go to the building next to the entrance of the dungeon to register my grades at ......, but I decided against it.

But I decided not to do so, because, as it turned out, the troublesome second-year head of the class was about to enter the building.

In any case, I had already killed enough of them to get the highest grade.
If we're going to run into him, we might as well not register our results this time.

So ...... we decided to go straight to the dungeon.



I'm sure you'll agree.



I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I asked the Caucasian as we descended to the 81st level. You're only going to get frustrated if you keep fighting this thing.

That's it. I mean, I don't even have a role to play.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

...... Well, that's what happens.
I'm sure you will.

We'll have to go deeper. In the meantime, can we try to get down to the 10th level of ......?

Yeah.

That should be a piece of cake.

So, I activated the spatial transfer three times and proceeded to the ......91 layer.

As I walked along the 91st layer for a while, a demon appeared from a corner.
As soon as it did, Caucasus launched a magic slash from the corner, ...... instantly killing the demon.

"...... How did it go this time?

The result was obvious, but ...... just in case, I'll ask.

The results were obvious, but I asked. "Not much different than before.

And the answer came back just as I expected.

So, ...... we'll transition another 10 levels.

One transfer, 95 levels.
Second time, 99 levels.
And only the third time, I skipped a level, and went to the 101st level. ...... What?

I tried to activate clairvoyance to get to layer 101, but ...... somehow, no matter where I go, I'm buried in the wall.

I thought that the thickness of the ground in the labyrinth might be different from what I had guessed, so I moved my viewpoint up and down a bit, but ...... the situation didn't seem to change at all.

This is strange.
As I was thinking this, ...... I came up with another possibility.

Could it be that ...... this dungeon only has 100 levels?

I thought so and checked the 100th level with my clairvoyant.
While doing so, ...... a while later, I found a door.

...... There's no doubt about it.
This is the door in front of the room where the Labyrinth Lord lives.

I knew there were only 100 levels in this dungeon.

"Caucasus, Belzebub. The next level is the Labyrinth Lord's level. Are you ready?

In a manner of speaking. I told them.

"Of course.

Let's get moving.

After hearing their motivating replies, ...... I took a spatial transfer to the 100th level and opened the door to the room where the labyrinth master was.



When I opened the door, ...... there was a flame giant named Surt.

"GOOOOOOOOO!

As soon as Surt noticed our presence, he let out a roar and let the flames on his body burn fiercely.

I'll go first.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

When Belzebub activated his magic, the color of the flames surrounding Surt changed to green.
At the same time, Surt began to writhe in agony.

It is true that an attack that uses a highly poisonous element to cause a flame color reaction will have an extraordinary effect on a demon that wears flames,......, but it is also a highly difficult attack method that makes it extremely difficult to select the right poison.
The fact that you can do this as if you were breathing ...... is a testament to Belzebub's expertise in poisoning.

As I was admiring him, the Caucasus moved.

The Caucasus activated its magic, and the flames that ...... Surt wore flared up even darker green and more intensely.

Normally, the theory would be to use freeze magic on a fire-breathing enemy.
However, it is a different story when a flame color reaction is occurring due to a proper strong poison.
In some cases, it is more effective to activate the flame to amplify the damage of the poison.

The Caucasus was able to anticipate this and choose its attack method flexibly.
I must say, this is an excellent coordination.

Now all we have to do is wait and see, and Surt will run out of steam.

As he sat there, ...... the flames subsided and Surt fell to the ground with a thud.

You've defeated him.


...... Yes.
I think I'll just use him as a material for awakening and evolving.

That's what I thought, and I cast my spell.

Qilin, appear before me at ...... and let's make a mutually beneficial deal.



...... It's been a long time since I've called a qilin for this purpose.
