369-362 Unexpected battle start




 No matter how much of a labyrinth he had stepped through once, it might be difficult to conquer a labyrinth that had gone from normal mode to hell mode........................I had thought that somewhere in my heart. 
 However, as long as I don't have to worry about being wary of traps and what kind of monsters I have to fight against by wearing the power of the holy dragon and the wind dragon, I feel like I can do anything I want right now.

 By the way, the reason I'm rushing to traverse the labyrinth is not to join up with Lumina-san and Elizabeth-san, but that's bad for everyone in the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad that is still screaming right now, so I think I'll keep it a secret.
 Still, I didn't know what would happen in the future, so I wanted to save the magic crystal sphere as much as possible, but I just prayed that I wouldn't waste it.

 Then I was able to find some treasure chests during my flight, but I had no choice but to give up on collecting them.
 Because it seemed like everyone in the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad couldn't afford to take a detour.
 However, I've memorized the location, so if this labyrinth doesn't disappear even if I traverse it, I'd like to collect it later~.
 With that in mind, I finally managed to reach the 50th level.

 However, what I didn't expect was that the 50th level had no branching routes, it was a long straight road.
"Just be on the lookout for it. 
 I just said that and flew from one end to the other, releasing the dragon's power, a little less than 80% of the magic power was drained out of my body at once.
 I'm going to prioritize everyone's recovery first and then use the magic crystal sphere to fully recover the magic power, the magic crystal sphere finished its job and cracked.

 But since I entered this level, I haven't been able to scream when encountering demons.
 I guess I've gotten used to it....
''Well, if it's the same as the original labyrinth, this is the end point. You're all prepared, aren't you?
 Everyone just nodded quietly with a nervous look on their faces without saying a word.

 I nodded back and touched my hand to the door, and the door slowly opened, and beyond that was the figure of Lumina-san and Elizabeth-san, who were lifted up by the black magic and raised their distressed voices.
 At that moment, like arrows released from a bow, the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad invades the room, but when they have advanced to some extent, they are flung away by something.

''Are you alright?''
 I called out to them from behind, and they all stood up immediately. There seemed to be no problem.
 I didn't expect a ward to be set up after coming here.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not possible for anyone to become undead or become a demon by touching this ward. After all, those holy knights are a troublesome existence.''
 Then I heard such a voice from behind Lumina-san and the others.
 There was a demon tribe that seemed to have taken the two of them away.
 The only thing that I imagined was that they didn't look too different from the human race, but that didn't seem to be the case.
 It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a good deal more than you think.

 Lumina-san and Elizabeth, who were inside the ward, had an expression of anguish on their faces, but when they saw the figure of the War Maiden Holy Knights, they felt a fighting spirit in their eyes.
 They seemed to be forbidden to just act, or even restricted to moving or speaking out of the place, and all that could be heard was a groan of stifled pain. 

'I thought there was an evil god in here, but it looks like I was wrong.
 I activated the purification wave and tried to check the strength of the ward first... I tried to check it, but when I thought I heard the sound of glass breaking, the ward shattered into pieces.
 I was actually thinking of turning my attention to this side after checking the strength, and then using magic circle chanting to trap the demons in the sanctuary ward while we were talking, but I suddenly had to rethink my strategy.

''This ward is impossibly fragile, isn't it?
 I guess it wasn't my fault that I couldn't help myself.

'Who are you? How could you so easily break the wards I created? So now you are my arch-enemy, the brave one!
I'm pretty sure that's the wrong person.
 But still, nemesis........no, let's not think about it.

''........Then who the hell are they!
 I ignored the demon tribe that was shouting at me and checked the condition of Lumina-san and Elizabeth-san who were trapped by the red-black magic power.
 The red-black magic power is wrapped around their extremities, and that red-black magic power is released from the demon tribe's tail.
 And that red-black magic power was very similar to the one the evil god wore.

''Why do those demon clans and death spirits who can speak want to hear about me so much?''
 I waved my arm at the red-black magic that was clinging to Lumina-san and Elizabeth-san's extremities and released a purification wave to block it, and the two of them fell as if they were going to collapse.
 Before the two of them fell to the floor, the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad caught them firmly.
 Watching the scene from the side, I shifted my gaze to the demon race, relieved that they didn't fall to the floor.

''A few years ago, I was just a healer.
 The demon race can't interfere with the two of them any further, so I activate the Sanctuary Wards to protect the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad.

''Only it somehow ended up releasing the reincarnated dragons, and the dragon knight was also to serve as a dragon knight as well.
 Converting from an illusionary staff to an illusionary sword and activating my sanctuary armor while pouring my magic power into it, I stood in front of the demon race and confronted them.

''Then, this time I'm going to be associated with the spirits, and I'm going to get the grand title of being the protector of the world... I'm just a human race at the mercy of such a fate...''
 As he swung the magic power he had poured into the Illusionary Sword at once, a holy dragon appeared and attacked the demon race.

''Don't think that I can defeat you with just one dragon.
 However, the demon tribe stops the holy dragon by releasing red-black magic power, and then moves right underneath the holy dragon in an instant and punches it away, causing the holy dragon to become an afterglow of magic power and disappear. 
 The demon tribe attacks us without even thinking about it.
 But its speed was slower than Master, less powerful than Lionel's, and I didn't feel any of the despair that I felt when I fought the evil god.

''Slow!
 I calmly matched the magic-filled illusion sword to the fist that was striking at me and succeeded in slashing it down easily.
 To be honest, even I was quite surprised inwardly, as I had expected it to rebound a bit more or be played back.

'How dare you!
 When the miasma overflows from the demon's body, the miasma gathered in the area where it was cut and stopped the bleeding in the blink of an eye.
 However, my arm hasn't regenerated, so I'm a little relieved.

 Even so, I didn't expect the demon tribe to challenge me in a flesh-and-blood battle.
 That well-trained body is no ordinary person.

 But more than that, the problem is that movement that struck the holy dragon.
 That was definitely a transference, and it was also a type without a magic circle.
 It seems that they couldn't use it continuously due to some restrictions, so I don't know the details, but that fact that it can transfer is what made it quite troublesome.
 If it is possible to transfer within the sanctuary ward, then we must stop that from happening. With that thought in mind, I open my mouth.
'Sorry to be angry, but can you tell me where the evil god is?' 
You're making a fool of yourself.............
 I knew it was coming, but you're still angry. Can this keep your attention on us.....

 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
 I'm going to use my space-time attribute magic quick to increase my reaction and duck while praying that the attack will stop as soon as possible.
 At the same time, I poured my magic power back into my illusory sword and waited patiently for an opening to become available--that's when I saw it.

''What? Gone....
 The figure of the demon race that should have been in front of me suddenly disappeared, and right after I caught the tail drawing a magic circle at the edge of my vision, a red-black light dyed my vision.
