"Three exits?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Eagle's words made me look around, and I saw two exits, one on each side and one behind the minotaur, through which light leaked. The reason why we can see them clearly even though they are far away is that they are dimly lit and the exit points are wide open.

　Just as I was about to take a closer look at the light, the Minotaur screamed at the center of the room. With that cry, the effect of small masonry walls and a stone floor spread around the Minotaur, and in no time at all the surroundings became like a labyrinth (...) of corridors. The place that looked like a large room of an ant's nest leading from a round cavern, has turned into a dark and cold labyrinth formed by straight lines and right angles, and the exit that I had been looking at is now hidden from view.

　Once again the Minotaur howls. Once again, the minotaur howls, a strange voice that is indistinguishable, low and high-pitched, thick and thin, or leaking from its throat. But it is a voice that anyone who hears it knows is the sound of a delighted laugh when it has found something to torture. It is not a bumo-oh-oh. ......What's that?　I thought it was Bumooooooo, but it sounded like Bumooooooo.

Camilla casts a spell over Galahad, who starts running toward the minotaur. I cast a supportive spell and Eagle is ready to heal immediately. Galahad and Eagle rarely run into each other for the first blow unless they know what to do.

The Minotaur's body is revealed when the effects disappear, not a single scratch on it, and it disappears with a clang of several streaks of static-like light. I wonder if it is a promise to emphasize his pectoral muscles when he makes a cracking sound.

As she speaks, Camilla fires an arrow at the minotaur's eye, but Galahad steps in and swings his axe at it without seeming to pay any attention. The arrow, which should have hit the target, was bounced off insanely and rolled on the floor.

　Galahad's back and head hit the wall as hard as they could, and the axe fell on him as he staggered.

A bell appears above the Minotaur's head and falls with a thud. The spell has a restraining effect, but as expected, it is quickly dispelled. In the time it takes for the spell to dissipate, and in the few moments it takes for the Minotaur to strike a pectoral pose, the Eagle pulls Galahad's arm.

While Camilla pinches me lightly, I try out a few magic spells with different attributes. The same effect appears and I get bounced, but it is not in vain because I stop and make a pose to emphasize my pectoral muscles. It's a little creepy, though, as it slowly approaches you.

　The fact that the passage to the next boss's room is open while it is usually closed is also puzzling, and I can only assume that it was deliberately shown at the beginning.

It's possible. Not only in this labyrinth, but also in other dungeons, clues are given to advance while the path is blocked.

　Seeing the three of them start to run, the minotaur yells and restrains himself from rushing forward. The Minotaur seems to freeze in a pose of breast-breaking, like a frame-by-frame record of the three of them.

　Eagle is the fastest, Galahad is the second, and Camilla the wizard is the last. The residents are seldom extremely slow and fixed-arms type like the gentiles (players). Well, in the case of the residents, there is no stats swing, but it is a natural progression, but it is possible to make some hopes come true by using some items.

The backward magic means that Camilla will be able to look behind her and remain stable while I hold her sideways with my upper body snuggled up against hers. That's a perk.

　In Greek mythology, a thread was stretched out to mark the way home. In this situation, I can only imagine that if I stretch a thread, it would get caught and break, or else the Minotaur would cut it off. Except for the skill "thread".

　We run through a labyrinth of dead-ends and twists and turns, divided by masonry walls, just like you would expect to find in an old man-made labyrinth. The torches are burning, so it is not dark enough to trigger [night vision], but not so bright that you can see what is ahead.

With a cry, the wall of the passageway we have just passed breaks down, and a huge axe thrusts out. The huge, reddish-bronze body is just visible through the rattling and crumbling stone walls, and without waiting for the dust to settle, Camilla unleashes her magic.

Oh no!　From the wall!"

Galahad shouted but did not stop, and neither did Eagle.

　I was thinking about the perks, and I have to confess that I was quite surprised and stopped for a moment.

　After chasing for a while, I found out that if you are too far away from the minotaur, it will break the wall and take a short cut. We didn't enter the dead end, but we did find a treasure chest on our search with [string], so if you are confident enough to get around the axe, you might want to give it a try.

"There's the exit!"

Just as Eagle said, we see a white light at the end of the turn, and the four of us roll out. We emerge into a western reddish-brown wilderness in the morning sun, with clods of the same color floating in the air, as if pulled out of the ground.

Galahad grins, slings his great sword over his shoulder, and turns toward the exit of the minotaur's labyrinth from which he had just emerged.

"I'm curious about the fact that there were three of them."

Eagle casts a [sacred magic] spell that also restores energy. He drops Camilla, who is still in a sorry state of mind, and uses [Kuroyoh] to increase her defense and provide other aids, and Camilla uses M! She takes a recovery medicine.

The minotaur emerges from the labyrinth and swings his huge, awkward-looking battle-axe lightly to the ground and howls. Wind pressure pushes against him, and the air shakes with a shiver.

"You came!　Beefcake."

Galahad, perhaps feeling the stress of running for his life, does not wait for Camilla's magic to work and charges in. Galahad slashes at the minotaur's side, slashing it under the swinging axe and wounding it in the side. Before the minotaur can make its next move, Camilla casts a spell. This time, unlike in the labyrinth, the minotaur does not stop moving, but seems to be unharmed as a static-electric effect plays out.

One of the other two places could be magic."

I later confirmed that the sunset was magic, just as Eagle and I had predicted, and the daylight was something that worked both magic and physical, but with half damage.

"Well, it's a big place, I'll join you.

I quickly switch my staff to a bow, and I take out my sword as Camilla does the same. Three close combatants are inefficient in a place as narrow as a corridor, but I think we'll be okay here.

　Just as the minotaur steps forward to turn toward Galahad, I make a "Shrinking Ground" attack, aiming for his axe finger. If you use [Shrink] when the enemy's attention is on you, you may inadvertently jump into the weapon, so do not use it too often. The skill that seemed to ignore physical defense had been quiet until now, but now it seems to be working. It is a useful effect, so we can't just rely on it since it seems that the later bosses are taking various countermeasures against it.

"I know, thank you!"

Galahad could not withstand it, so it is not difficult to imagine that I would have been blown away if I had been hit by it. There is a limit to what I can do with my sword, and I don't think I have any other choice but to evade.

　We avoid the minotaur, and by attacking, we stop the minotaur's attacks on the two of us. We repeatedly attack each other to reduce the minotaur's strength. It is easier to read the enemy's attacks when soloing, but it is easier to avoid them thanks to the two players' follow-up attacks.

　The minotaur swings his axe with no weight, but the sky it tears open creates a wind that tells us it has a certain mass. He continues his sword dance with the minotaur in the center of his field of vision, looking at him without looking at him.

The color of the Minotaur's body changes to bright red, and it is blown away by the energy that accompanies the yell. Ignoring us, he seems to be gathering his strength as he rests his axe on the ground, his hands on the pommel, and shivers in a slumped posture.
