325-319 Hole that gives birth to monsters




 I didn't even know where to go, I just decided to move forward, but the forest was the same for a long time.
 It's hard to keep track of your position because the landscape is the same in all directions. I can't concentrate on my search in this situation.
 I decided to float up into the air and emerge from the forest covered with trees to confirm my position.

 The moment I stepped over the trees, I saw a flying creature in the shape of a giant eagle, bigger than a pterodactyl.
 That great eagle must have come to swallow me whole, but--

''Sweet.''
 I accelerated further in the air and ducked the big eagle's big mouth and tried to attack its back.
 But the giant eagle wasn't the only demon.

 A colorful three-meter-long giant bird with red, blue and yellow heads like a Cerberus unleashed its breath.
 And it wasn't just one bird, but multiple birds were already surrounding me.

''Could this mean that I cheated?  If the demons don't appear downstairs, it seems we can take a break without them.
 I activated my body strengthening and kicked the scaffolding I had created by compressing it with wind magic and swung my illusory sword at the named colorful bird that had released a breath.

 If I hadn't trained with Lord Leinster, I wouldn't have been able to fly through the air like this and explore my destination, so I might have been stuck.
 With that in mind, I slaughtered the demons that came near me one by one.

 As long as the colorful bird could get close enough, it could drop its head without resistance just by swinging its illusory sword, and its body could be torn apart in the same way.
 At first, I thought about reviving it, but in the process of crashing down, it turned into a demon stone, so I changed my mind and continued to slaughter the approaching demon, saying it was no problem.

''If I hadn't seen the demon stone turned demon, I wouldn't have known that this was a labyrinth.
 It no longer seems more natural to think of it as a time slip to prehistoric times.

 As far as the eye can see, the forest stretches below and the top is endless... what the hell? 
 There's only one black.......hole in the sky, and it looks like demons are being born from there.

 If I had to choose between the two, I think it would be easier for me to go to that hole rather than the same forest all the way back and forth.
 Because the forest is always a forest, just like the savage forest.
"Fortunately, I can now fly, and if not, there's one less place to check.
 After muttering a small mutter and steeling myself, I aimed for the black hole at once.

 As I gained altitude, stronger demons seemed to be spat out of the black hole, and a pterosaur appeared, but the atmosphere was completely different from the usual.
 First of all, its size is different from the pterosaur I know, it's three times bigger than the pterosaur I know, and it also spits out breath.

 No matter how much stronger I am, I'm alone and I have to control the amount of magic power, so I decided to send a slash filled with wind magic to hurt the wings and drop them.
 However, the slash made the pterosaur flap its wings, and the tornado that swallowed my slash came towards me.
 Naturally when I tried to duck it, the large eagle that failed to bite me first from behind returned, so I flicked the tornado towards the large eagle with wind magic.

''........This feels like the worst pattern to fall into if you let it linger. ''Elemental Force Dragon.''
 In order to decide in one fell swoop, he activated the Elemental Force Dragon and managed to shoot it down as it roared and was sucked into the giant pterodactyl.
 However, the pterodactyl did not turn into a magic stone.

''You can't defeat it with that?''
It couldn't be helped, I had just chased the pterosaur into the forest, and the pterosaur had disappeared, leaving behind a magical stone.
 But that must have been because the two-headed demonic beast, Orthros, had attacked the pterosaur as a group, not because it had fallen to its death.

''........Isn't that a little too hard?''
 Five Orthros jumped at me, thinking they didn't know what I was muttering.

 The only fortunate thing was that there was ground here.
 I raised the earth without a chant and ignored all but the Altros in front of me, and after intimidating them, I used dark magic to block their presence, and at once activated my body strengthening and lightning magic on my feet to cut them down.

 If I use magic, I can somehow mimic my master's profound techniques.
 Feeling formidable, he avoided Ortolos's attacks and dealt damage without fail, and when he defeated Ortolos, he knew that another sign of a new demon was approaching.

'It's possible that this could lead to exhaustion without sleeping.......let's try it once [Sanctuary Barrier].
 If it's possible to prevent the demons with the sanctuary wards, which are twice as big and strong than before, then I can manage it, but if not, I'll have to use other hands, so I waited to see what would happen, and the one that appeared was a one-eyed giant.
 I guess it was a cyclops, but it was holding a tree that was growing all over the place in its hands.

 You can see it from here, but I thought that if we were hidden by the trees, we wouldn't be able to see it from the other side, but that doesn't seem to be the case, and as it was about to come closer, it was blocked by the sanctuary wards and screamed out.
 Then it pulled out the trees around it and threw itself towards us, but of course it didn't hit it.

 It wouldn't be hard to take down the cyclops, but that one would be better left alone.
 All I knew so far was that the closer I got to that hole, the more powerful demons in the sky, the more demons there were down there, and the bigger this labyrinth was for nothing.

''With those landmarks, I think we should explore the forest a bit.
 I decided to start exploring the forest like this.

 I proceeded in the direction where strong demons are likely to appear, but I found out that the demons underneath that hole were apparently strong and frequently spawned.
''Even so, it's amazing how just opening the barrel of object X doesn't attract enemies like this. Unfortunately, I have to raise the level, so I can't drink it.
 I muttered, and once I'd finished eating and napping, I decided to start flying towards that black hole.
