I gave up trying to force the door open and decided to fit the jewels honestly into the coffin.

'Well then, let's get to it.

Are we sure this coffin is a demon?

　Noll put his hand to his chin and muttered as he looked at the coffin.
　What's the point now.......no matter what you think, it's a demon inside this thing. I'm rather surprised that it's not a demon.

''Isn't it reasonable to think so?''

If you're going to open it, you might as well be properly prepared.

'If you want, I'll put a spear in it the moment you open it?

　They all reaffirm that the demons are going to come out from here, and they all regrasp their weapons and feel fully motivated.
　Luna is holding a spear throwing stance and saying something like let's aim for the time when the demons come out.
　

　.........hmm?　Wait ... surely there's no need to open this coffin normally and honestly fight the demons?
　Okay, then use that one.

What are you doing, sir?

Hmm?　I'm just getting ready.

'You're going to put so many explosives around you you're going to blow them up the moment they come out...'

　I pull a few pieces of magic dynamite and two explosive tickets out of my bag. Then I set it up in front of the coffin.
　Just by looking at it, Sisha seemed to understand what I was going to do.
　If he knows where and when to come out, it's like he's already asking me to prepare to take it down before it comes out.

'Alright, then I'll open it up and Esther and the others can stay outside. When I come out of this room, Estelle, can you shoot fire magic at the room?

'It's fine, but...'

It's not as if you don't feel like a real fighter, is it?

　Explosives alone aren't enough to keep me in mind, so I'm going to add Estelle's magic attack as well.
　This room is at the end of a straight corridor, so I'll have Noll and the others wait outside first and fire the attack right after I come out.
　With Estelle's fire magic, it should be easy enough to blow up the entire room.
　Hmph, if I do this much, I'll probably die instantly.

'Since we know they're going to come out, it's only natural to wait for them to come out. If we can take them out before they attack us, it's obviously the best thing to do.

Yeah. That's a lot less cumbersome.

''Haha.......Luna-san is thinking more like Okura-san.......''

　The girls reacted with a little bit of dismay, but only Luna shook her head in a cooing manner.
　It's just that I suggested attacking them the moment they came out. I feel like we can understand each other in many ways.
　Well, I'm trying to avoid something dangerous, while Luna's motives differ in that it's a pain in the ass.
　Even so, our interests are aligned, so it's likely that she'll continue to be an ally in the future.

　The preparations are over, so I left Nolu and the others out of the room, leaving me alone.
　Now, I wonder what kind of demon will come out of this coffin?

　I take out the jewel and insert it into the hexagonal hollow in the lid of the coffin.
　At that moment, the red jewel shines and the green coffin begins to glow.
　Gradually, the light subsided and an indescribable silence fell over the room.

　What, nothing?　It's kind of a letdown--

'Whoa!　Yah, yah.

　Suddenly, with a thump, the lid of the coffin in front of me blew upward.
　It was obviously bad, so without checking to see what came out of it, I turned and ran out of the room as quickly as I could.

　After a short distance from the room, I reminded the explosive ticket to explode, and I heard an explosion behind me.
　One explosive ticket can be detonated five times, so two of them will detonate ten times. The dynamite must have been induced to detonate as well.

'Esther, do it!'

Yeah, I got it!

　Estelle was already ready with her wand and red book.
　When I give the signal, she creates a fireball.
　Not the usual giant balls, but ones about the size of a dodge ball, one after another, appearing around Estelle.

　Then, with a wave of her wand forward, the floating fireballs enter the coffin room one by one, making an explosion sound much the same as before.
　Flames leaked out of the coffin room, and inside, the smoke and flames mixed with the smoke and flames make it completely impossible to see.

　 I'm pretty sure she's not alive.
　As I was checking the map app to make sure, the red circle in the coffin room changed to gray.

'Haha, look!　Looks like we got him before he came out of his room!

Are you sure this is the end for you, sir...

　I showed Noll the map app screen, saying we've beaten him, and he was in an unmotivated mood.
　Was he excited that this might be a boss fight?　I feel kind of bad about that, because you seemed to be enjoying yourself when you entered the ruins.
　But now this labyrinth is over!　Hmmm, mess, mess time is coming!

Huh.......... Could it be that this is gray, could it be...?

　As I was buoyed by the fact that I was done, Esther looked into the screen of the map app and muttered.
　.........hmm?　It remained gray........oh, could this be.......

　As I stared at the map app as it was, the circle in the coffin room, which had been gray, returned to red.
　What is this!

'Eh, Esther!　Put fire magic in that room again!

All right!　Eeeeee!

　This demon, the same one that resurrects the Fullerummummy. Then we'll have to beat it again.
　Have Esther shoot additional fireballs into the coffin room.
　The red circles in the coffin room will turn gray again, after shooting it for a little longer than before.

　I guess it took a little longer because the explosive ticket didn't do any damage.
　Looking at it in the map app, it's scary to see that I was gradually moving closer to the entrance even though I was getting shot at that one.
　Okay, I took it down once more and that's it - I'm done with it.

'Huh?　Well, he's back again!

So, here he comes, Mr. Okura!

　I hoped it would just disappear, but the gray circle on the map app turned back to red again.
　Finally, the demon in the coffin emerged from the entrance of the room.

　The figure is long and slender with an oval-like upper body, no arms, but instead, stubby legs. There are only two black eyes on the top.
　The demon that came out of the room had a charming look compared to Mummy.
　It has blue streaks on the side of its eyes as if it is angry and is pulling and shaking when it looks at us.

　If he blew up the room the moment he came out, he would be angry.....
　But I'm hurting. I didn't expect it to come back twice.
　We don't know what kind of monster it is, so we should probably check its status first.

　------I'll have to check the status first.
Smiter Race:Mammy
　Level: 55
　HP: 35,000
　MP:2000
　Attack power: 4500
　Defensive Power:3500
　Agility: 120
　Magic Resistance:20
　Intrinsic Ability Deactivation of Degradation Disabled Status Disabled
　Skill Sublimation: White Meteor
------

　I expected his HP to not be so high since he's already beaten it twice, but it's so low.
　But its attack power, defense and agility are high, so it's dangerous to fight it up close.
　What's likely to cause him to revive is his skill sublimation.......how is that different from activating his mummy?
　And the white meteor - it sounds cool, but it's a bit scary.

'And anyway, let's attack again!

I'm on it!

Okay!

　If this is the case, they are likely to come out of the coffin room and chase me, so let's take them down one more time while we're at it.
　With that in mind, when I tell them to attack, Luna and Esther cheerfully reply and each hold their weapons.
　Then Luna throws a spear, and the spear stabs into the smiter's body, and then Esther shoots out a fireball and pushes him back to the coffin room again.

　After that, she didn't let up on her attack, and I got her to attack until that guy fell again.......

''Oh come on........you're still getting up....

What do you mean by that?　Shall we approach and beat it until it disappears?

　When I looked at it in the map app, it changed to gray for a moment, but then quickly went back to red again.
　This is the third time. I feel like the resurrection speed is faster than before.......should I take another look at the status just to be sure?

　　------
Smiter Race:Mammy
　Level: 60
　HP: 37,000
　MP:2050
　Attack Power: 5000
　Defensive Power:3700
　Agility: 140
　Magic Resistance:20
　Intrinsic Ability Deactivation of Degradation Disabled Status Disabled
　Skill Sublimation: White Meteor
------

　.........!　Le, the level is going up!　Plus, your status has gone up significantly!
　Don't tell me that sublimation is a skill........and if it's defeated, it's even stronger?
　
　If I do any more, I'll just keep getting more and more evolved!

　The smiter that was pushed back into the room came out of the room with smoke in its wake, trembling louder than before.
　Seeing this, Luna started to prepare to throw her spear again.

''Wait!　He's getting stronger!　I'm not going to take you down once!

What ... are you saying that the more you defeat it, the stronger it becomes?

Tsk, you don't want to get in trouble.

　I stopped Luna from attacking because if she defeated it any more poorly, it would be even stronger, so I stopped her from attacking.

　
　That guy could get by as long as he was able to defeat the goblins above him, but this guy can't do that.
　It's too dangerous to fight normally.

"Let's step back and rethink what we're going to do. And then he ran!

　No matter how urgent we are, if we continue to fight, we will surely suffer.
　I've decided that, and I've tried to run away while I can, and plan a countermeasure, but the moment we were about to leave the place, the smiter started running towards us.

What are you going to do!　That, if you were to beat it without thinking about it, it would get stronger and stronger!

'What are we going to do about it?　What am I supposed to do!

'We were in a pattern of running away last time, weren't we!　If you keep this up, there will eventually be no escape!

　We start running in a hurry too and keep our distance from the smiter.
　It's not good...............................Even if we keep running, they'll catch up with us soon.
　Right now it's not that much of a threat if we still manage to get attacked by me and Nol, but I can't say that if we beat them a few more times.

　For once, I don't think I can come up with a plan to do something about it right away like I did with the behemoths last time.
　What do I do........what do I do?

　And before that.

'Esther!　I'm going to lift you up a bit!

'What....?　Oh, brother!

I'm sorry, but I need you to be quiet for a while!

　I picked up Estelle, who was already almost out of breath at the end of the line, with both arms.
　I'm sure you'll find it hard to run like this without any physical strength... Fortunately, I've improved my physical abilities a bit, so there's no way I'm going to be able to lift her up and run if she's light.

　As I continued to run while holding Estelle, Mamie gradually began to appear in the direction of escape.
　The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a good idea to have a good time.

'Okura-dono!　It's not good if we don't do this!

Esther, we need to do something to stop him!

I'll try.

　Some of the mammies I've killed are mixed in with a few that remain intact, not disappearing here and there.
　I'm having Estelle burn them as I pass them, but I can't do it all because I'm running.
　At this rate, the more we run away, the more active fullerum mammies are going to be in the labyrinth.
　If we don't do something about it soon, it's going to get even harder to clear this labyrinth.......

　I glance back and see a smiter blasting away, swinging himself from side to side while raising both legs wide.
　Scary!　That was really scary!

　When I asked Estelle if she could do something about it, she turned her head behind me and started waving her wand a few times.

''.......It doesn't seem to work. I can't use earth magic either, since it can't interfere with the walls around me.''

　Duh, since it has the inherent ability to disable state disorders and disable degradation, it can't even interfere with magic?
　Maybe it's because it's a labyrinth, but it seems that Esther's earth magic can't be used on the surrounding walls, so you can't even build a wall to contain it.
　It's also impossible to escape using Noll's Regi Elitra to slow down the action speed.

　.........Is this a dead end?

What?

　As I was thinking about what to do, Noll suddenly let out a scream and fell over.
　Hey, hey, hey!　How could you fall down on this occasion, of all times!

Hey!　What are you--

Mug!　I can't move, sir.

　Luna and Sisha replaced the fallen Noor, while Luna and Sisha fought the mammy in front of them.
　Once Esther was down, I moved closer to the fallen Noor.

　Noor tries to lift himself up with his hands on the ground with all his strength, but as soon as his upper body is lifted up a little bit, Bittan!　She sank to the ground again with such force that it almost sounded like she was going to sink to the ground.
　When I looked closely at her body to see what was happening, I saw a squishy green liquid clinging to the area around her legs.

　........So that's what it is. This is Rigasmanus, right? I didn't expect you to use your skills to interfere with me at this time.......

''Brother!　Back!

　We immediately took out our crowbars to take down Rigasmanus, but suddenly turned around as Esther shouted.
　Then a glowing, pure white mass was rushing towards us at high speed.
　Estelle attacked several times with her fireball magic to stop it, but it didn't deal with it and came straight through the fireball.

　Is that the Smiter's skill, the White Meteor?

Ggh ... ah ... ah ... oh!

'Geez!　.........it's heavy.......

　If I continued like this, it was going to hit the fallen Noor, so I stood in front of him and used the lid of the pot to prevent the attack.
　The moment it hits, a considerable impact is felt on my arm, and without being able to step on it, I am sent flying backwards as it is.
　And as I feel the impact on my back, I hear Noll's distressed voice from behind me.

　She's blown away and I'm blown up and pressed against her back I'm really sorry.

　
　Ah................................Oh no.

''Heihachi!　Don't get up!

　I thought about the knolls on my back, and I clutched the lid of the pot tighter so I wouldn't be attacked.
　And that's when Smiter swung one leg up.

　I heard Luna's voice, who was fighting in front of me, and a very thick red flash passed over my head with the sound of the wind breaking.
　The smiter, who had raised one leg to attack, received that light in the middle of his body and disappeared into the back of the passage while bending into a crooked shape.

　

Thank you for the help, man.

'It doesn't matter, just wake up Noll as soon as you can. Even though you skipped it, it won't buy you that much time.

　As I was relieved to have escaped the attack from the smiter, Luna approached me.
　The spear is in her hand, so it looks like she's already come back with an automatic recovery.
　I hurriedly snapped at Noor's legs as I was told, I pulled off Ligasmanus and made her get up.

　Huh........I didn't expect this to happen to Nol.
　I've always relied on him, I didn't expect this to happen.
　The fact that someone was grabbed by Rigasmanus also caught me off guard because I hadn't been in the labyrinth before.

''I'm sorry...''

'I'm sorry too I couldn't stop it...'

No, I'm glad they're okay.

　Noll was slumped and bowed his head towards us and apologized.
　Estelle also looked apologetic for not being able to stop him.

'For now, we could pull that guy off, and we can go a little further and use this to evacuate.

　It's a little awkward, but that's not the time to worry about it.
　I said we should take shelter and took the doorknob out of my bag.
　It's the dimension room I won in the comp gacha.

　I don't feel like things are going to get better if we continue to fight, so I'm going to use this to escape and re-partition once and for all.
　Dammit ... the smiter. I have to defeat that guy somehow.......what the hell do I do?
