After experiencing that mysterious phenomenon, I've been thinking a lot about it, but for now, my priority is to advance through the labyrinth for now.

　And unlike Leif's information, there was nothing in the 20th layer. Just an empty space. We continued downward, wondering a little bit about that. I guess we were getting used to dealing with the giant spider 《Huge Spider》, but it was crisp. If truth be told, I was going to turn back at some point, but at this rate, I can still do it. Besides, Fee's guy may have gotten used to it, but he didn't go crazy anymore. If we want to go, it's now or never. Thinking that, we moved on.

"Thirty layers next.
Yeah.
What, but I'm getting nervous...

　Yes, it's finally the 30th layer. We must be careful what we do. And so we descend the stairs to the 30th level.

"Nothing here...?

　I muttered and huffed and looked at the ceiling. In my usual pattern, I should be stuck to the ceiling. But there was nothing there. It was the same as the twenty layers, just a large space.



　When Fee said that, there was only one giant spider 《Huge Spider》 in the corner of my eye. It was still, staring at me without doing anything.

''Nah, it's kind of spooky...''
'Well...'

　I agree with Monica's opinion. For some reason, that giant spider "Huge Spider" seems different from the past. The previous giant spiders 《Huge Spider》 attacked us immediately. Attacking humans is an instinctive characteristic of demons. To them, humans are the best food and food for them. It is natural for them to pounce on you right away.

　But that giant spider, the Huge Spider Spider, is still and just staring at you. I wonder if it has intelligence. And since it didn't move even a little bit, I decided to approach it.

　Then the giant spider, the Huge Spider, stepped back and let out a strange noise.

'Ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki, ki.


　It's starting. I think he was just checking up on us. It was just a misunderstanding. And so, we began to fight the giant spider, the Huge Spider, the Huge Spider.

".........

　The first move. I quickly apply my body strengthening and close the distance at once. I firmly grip the thin-winged lion and run while holding a low, parallel position.

''Hah!!!''

　A flash. If it were a normal individual, it would be a blowout here. I'm sure it would have been decided. But this individual is quick to duck my blow with just a back step.

........30 layers, that's what you do!

　I keep my distance and look at him. However, he doesn't move again, standing still. Strange.....

"Is he asking how we're doing?
'I don't know...?　But you're staring at it.
Maybe it's an individual with some intelligence. In the meantime, freeze Fee and Monica. I'll handle the proximity.
Okay, I get it. I get it, I get it.

　And so I run the ground again. This time the reinforcement is stronger than before. And then, just like that, it closes in on a straight line and flashes again.

''Kiiiiiiiiiiiii!

　The giant spider yelled out that and avoided it, but I swung my sword back.

　I killed it!

　That's what I thought, but the giant spider 《Huge Spider》 seemed to be inexplicably very mobile and could only sever one leg.

''Kyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

　And in the next moment, it regenerates. Apparently, this unit can use regeneration as well as before. It's tricky.

"Errrrgh!　Don't swerve to the side!

　Hearing Fee's voice, I quickly avoid to the right. Then a wave of ice runs vertically from the front of Fee.

''Yaaaah!''

　And as Monica said that, a wave of ice ran vertically from behind the giant spider 《Huge Spider》 as well. When I understood their intentions, I launched an ice alchemy technique around the giant spider "Huge Spider". I'm going to lock them in and freeze them in place.

　And the ice that the three of us created encircled and eroded the giant spiders, trapping them in place.

　It's done. That was surprisingly stunned........

　While I was thinking that, the next moment, the resist was completed and cracks started to appear.......all the ice returned to dust.



It's not just a matter of time before you find yourself in the middle of the night. I'm not a master........


　Our alchemy can't be resisted by ordinary abilities. This is because the composition of alchemy is slightly different for all three of us. In order to resist, you need to completely understand the opponent's alchemy. Unlike the Reflective Formation 《Reflector》, resisting is quite an advanced technique. It's also quite difficult for me to resist the alchemy of three people at the same time. However, this unit easily pulled it off.

　Probably, this giant spider "Huge Spider" is an individual that specializes in alchemy. Furthermore, I think it can use precise alchemy. Although he hasn't used it to attack, but his resist is first-class. In terms of skill alone, it's probably at the level of a platinum class <>.

''.........Haaaaaaah!

　I once again assumed that my opponent was an advanced alchemist and approached the battle. This guy is not just a giant spider, the Huge Spider [Huge Spider]. It is better to assume that it is fighting an alchemist. Thinking so, I waved the thin-winged dragonfly while simultaneously using alchemy to hunt down my opponent. Of course, there will be reinforcements from Fee and Monica.

　The three of them attacked with their ice alchemy and I attacked with my own melee attack. I'm not sure if I can get away with just one of them. I thought so, but I couldn't help myself from attacking. I kept dodging my attacks at the drop of a hat, and the alchemy resists all of them.

　d*mn it!　If you just look at this skill alone, it's far superior to anything I've ever seen. This unit is without a doubt one of the strongest giant spiders we've ever seen, even among the Huge Spider Hugespiders.

　But I can't figure it out. Why isn't it attacking me?　Why do you keep avoiding it?　Why...?　No way...?

　Still, now is not the time to get lost. The only thing we need to do now is to take this thing down. That's it. That's all we have to do.


"Ki-ki-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

　When the giant spider 《Huge Spider》 chirped that, it spat out a thread. And it was sent away in transition just like the previous individual. But I'm activating the Absolute Realm 《Sanctuary》. If it's an attack involving alchemy, I can avoid it perfectly.

　And I ducked all the attacks that rained down from my blind spot and ..............................vertical flash.



''Ki, ki, ki, kiaaaaaa.........................kiiiiiii.


　It's over. His head cracked open vertically and he died. His last moments were surprisingly short-lived. I don't know if my stamina had run out or something, but I couldn't move fast enough.

"Elle, that's what I'm talking about.
'Firstborn!　It's over!
'Oh...'

　And with a quick wave of my hand, I burned the body. But there was a strange feeling of discomfort. I have the feeling that the corpse is still staring at me. It's dead. Life activities are over. I can grasp the First Quality, the Primamateria, through the Absolute Realm, the Sanctuary. Therefore, I can also understand the death of life with my senses. This is because the First Quality Prima Terrier dwells in every living thing.

　And the First Quality, Primamateria, is leaking out of that giant spider, the Huge Spider, which is a sign of a dead organism. This is a sign of a dead creature. It will eventually lose all of its First Quality, the Primamateria, and return to nothingness. This is what death is all about. I've seen it all in my experiments. I've seen it in experiments on rats, and on vegetables as well.

　And when I stared at this giant spider, the Huge Spider, the primary substance, the Primamateria, leaked out and melted into the air. At the same time as I was feeling this, I felt a strange sensation.

　I'm staring, staring at it. This guy has been staring at me from the beginning to the end.

　It feels like that. I want him to tell me something. He wanted me to do something.

　I felt like I was hoping for that. But what does a mere demon want from a human being? What in the world do they want? In the first place, I don't even think it can think as highly as a human.

　Yes, this is just a simple misunderstanding.

Let's go. Let's go." "At this rate, we'll be able to reach the bottom of the deepest ocean.
Yeah.
Yes!

　So we went down to the 30th layer.

















"...thank you.



　I thought I heard a voice like that at the end, but it was my imagination.

　I shouldn't have noticed it.
