367-Beginning of a hundred levels




 A few days later, both PTs of the Infinite Circle had already conquered the 99th level, and the black gate leading to the 100th level was finally in front of them. However, everyone could predict that the still unseen Hundredth Level would attract a great deal of attention, so the Infinite Circle had been asked by the nobles and the guards to specify a date and time for them to dive in.

 Therefore, the attack would start two days later in the evening, and it was announced that this time, the PT led by Koryna would take on the 100th level as one army. The searchers and labyrinth maniacs were divided on that, but they never said that Korina was too inadequate.


''A hundred levels........ Does this mean I've completely conquered the God's Dungeon as well?''
Most of us won't have any use for it.
Then I'm going to take the family business into my own hands.
Wow.


 He is a craftsman who creates decorations and other items according to the requests of the sponsors who contract with the searchers, and his son, who is an apprentice and a labyrinth maniac, looked disgusted at his father's words. If it stopped at the hundredth level, sponsors wouldn't be requesting a large number of things like they used to, and the labyrinth maniacs who couldn't get new information would suffer.


''Eh, I'm sure there are a hundred and one levels. Right?
Hey,
I still want to continue with the stall. Daryl's been buying a lot of stuff for me lately.
Hey!


 The decorator's wife and the still small child looked at each other and tuned in. Besides such families, those who worked in various jobs related to the divine dungeon were discussing it well.

 And since there were a hundred layers of numbers this time, the future of God's dungeon was being discussed by most of the people living in the labyrinth city. Even a child could imagine that the future of the labyrinth city would change drastically depending on whether it was struck down there or beyond.


''Oh, I wish you'd give me a break, really.
I need the day after tomorrow.


 The day after tomorrow morning, the number of spectators at the Godai is expected to be exorbitant, with the public involved. It would be a challenge to prevent any trouble from occurring at the site that would be crowded with people, so most of the security guards who were still patrolling the site had a depressed look on their faces.

 Then, by the time they attacked two days later, the God's Platform Market and all the other places in the labyrinth city had come to life, and even the labyrinth maniacs were in high spirits, explaining the PT of the Infinite Circle and predicting what would happen on the hundredth level.

 There would be more spectator seating around the first level than usual, and the mostly short-haired workers would use the shell clubs and other facilities late at night and early in the morning when there were fewer people to work with. This time, the Babenberg family would also be helping to set up a domed spectator area above, and Smith had a drawing in hand, raising his eyebrows as he worked on its construction.

 The stalls around the Shentai Market were ordering and preparing more food than usual in anticipation of an increase in the number of customers at the hundredth level, and those transporting the food were coming and going. The magical stones needed for cooking were also actively traded, and the girl at the magical stone exchange was issuing notices to the strong men.

 At the Doren Workshop, newly installed seats and fences were being built at a rapid pace, and in the forest apothecary, an old lady was giving instructions next to her apprentice who was getting more and more sophisticated in making potions. The people of the labyrinth city were steadily making preparations for the attack on the hundredth level two days later.


''Well then, let's go.


 And two days later, in the evening when each of them finished their work exceptionally early. Corina, who was reflected on the first platform that was attracting immense attention, said to the PT members with a nervous look on her face. And the crowd sprang up when they saw the black gates leading to the hundred levels that were finally opened.


 ooh.


It's a big deal down there.


 The overall structure of the barrier magic was Smith's, and Suou was in charge of the color-coding and detailed decorations of the seats, and the special bleachers were created in the sky. Tsutomu, who was sitting near the top of that seat, said that in a voice without any tension. Hearing those words, Smith turned around and gave him a pointed look.


'You would have been in that place if I hadn't invited you. Be grateful.
'Yes, yes. I'm very grateful to Master Smith for that.


 He let out a single cluck of his tongue at Tsutomu's reverence, but the crowd's cheers made him turn his attention back to the God's Table. Garum and Amy, who were sitting on either side of Tsutomu, also had their eyes glued to the table.


(The old castle of oblivion........)


 The place where I was sent when I first came to this world. Looking at it through the God's Table and feeling like a dusting of fire was hitting their spine, Tsutomu didn't take his eyes off the God's Table either.

 Corina and the others seemed somewhat confused by the fact that they were in the center of a structure with an open center, as if it were an arena. But soon after Korina made a wish for swiftness and protection, everyone calmed down and started to move to finish exploring this place first.


''.........''


 But Diniel was the first of them to move up and down, detecting what sounded like a wind noise in her long ears. She looked up at the cloudy sky with her keen eyes.

 At first she saw only a small black object in the sky in the distance. But it quickly grew in size and seemed to be rapidly descending towards Corina and the others.


''It's coming from above!


 The PT members responded to Diniel's voice and looked up at the sky to see the creature descending towards them. As soon as they did, a roar echoed throughout the entire area. Although all of them cowered up at the roar that even made them feel a grudge, they didn't panic as it was due to the experience of seeing a rampaging dragon that was well prepared.


''Well, what is the hierarchical lord of the hundred levels like?''


 Hanna bends over as if she is doing preparatory exercises while laughing happily with a nihi, and crushes a colorless magic stone with her right hand beforehand to acclimate her magic power and clash her fists.


''Did you hear that! The roar! I'm as terrified as a rabid dragon! I'm sure that's the Hierarchy Lord!


 Xeno is pointing at the creature approaching from above, speaking with the vigor of a live reporter to the eyes of the gods.


'Contract--Nome.


 Leleia, who was the most terrified of all of them due to the fact that she was a dragonborn, was clerically contracting the earthbound gnome to Xeno while trying to regain her composure by stroking the smooth throat of the salamander on her shoulder with her fingertips.


'Phew...'


 Corina let out a warrior's breath, a mixture of oozing nervousness and slight anticipation, and clutched the talisman that fell from her neck. With a glance at it, Diniel stopped calling out to it and squeezed the string of the bow, which was too hard for an ordinary man to pull back, as if to test it, and looked at the hierarchical lord, who had come close enough to discern the figure.

 Then the body of the giant dragon descended to the earth and turned its pupil-less eyes to Corina and the others. Looking at it, which has a figure that looks like a skeletal model of a giant dragon from a distance, Hanna reminisced about the Wilderness Hierarchy while speaking.


''The skeleton's, a dragon, isn't it?''
'No, though it looks more like a corpse than a skeleton. The bones look very raw, you know. Combat Cry!


 From a distance, the Glazed Ancient Dragon looked similar to the skeleton dragon that appeared with the Demilich, the back boss of the Wilderness Hierarchy. But unlike the fossilized skeleton whose bones were dry, the Glazed Ancient Dragon's outline was as raw as the flesh that had just been scraped off the corpse.

 While Hannah and Xeno were exchanging words about its appearance, the blazing old dragon got ready and spat out a breath of corrosion as if it were spitting. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.


'If it hits you, it won't be for free, will it?
Xeno, try not to melt.
'I don't mean to sound ominous. But I think we'd better be careful.


 The spectators who had witnessed such words of Zeno and the attack of the Flaming Ancient Dragon on the divine Platform were each talking excitedly. The labyrinth maniacs were also discussing what the PT of the Infinite Circle was going to do from now on, and what kind of power the Blazing Old Dragon had.

 Smith and Suou, sitting near Tsutomu, are also completely engrossed in the discussion, as are Amira and Daryl. Only Garum and Amy noticed something and turned their gaze to the side.


''....Tsutomu?''
Yeah, what's going on?


 Tsutomu was sitting next to him, his face was downward and his shoulders were trembling. When they noticed this, they couldn't help but call out to him, and he looked up as if in a huff.


''No, that was it. That dragon attack? Gaza. I felt like I was puking something or something and it was disgusting.
'Oh yeah. It certainly could be!
I see.


 I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on the subject. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
