As I descended the stairs, I reached the first level of the labyrinth.　
　It is said that the demon that appears on the first level is a wolf.

''I've heard that the wolves in this labyrinth aren't very strong.

　I see.
　When I asked Mea for more information, she said that the demons in this labyrinth are for novice adventurers.
　One level of the labyrinth is a grassland-like space.

　The structure of the labyrinth is full of strange things, but it's no use thinking about it.
　It's a world that scholars smarter than me couldn't figure out even if they looked into it.

　As I walked through the meadow, I activated my visual enhancement.
　The effect of the visual enhancement was still intact. It was an enhancement of vision and also an increase in vision.
　It's easy to use for detecting demons because you can also see overhead.

　It was a good idea. A little further on in the meadow, in a dense space of trees, I saw Wolf resting.

''Mea-san. There's a wolf just ahead of you,''
What?　Lelius. Can you possibly detect it?
Yeah, well. I've been able to do that lately.
Oh, really? You're still the same, man.

　Mea-san looks at me in surprise.
　I just happened to get the skill. I just got lucky.

''Come to think of it, labyrinths have demons coming out of the walls, don't they?

　As I was activating my visual enhancement so as not to miss the Wolf, I was also able to witness the Wolf being born from the walls of the labyrinth.
　I had some knowledge of it, but there was a part of me that was surprised to see it in person like this.

''Ah, yes. So the basic rule is to avoid walking on the wall side in the labyrinth.''
...It's possible to be attacked by a demon out of the blue, isn't it?

　A surprise strike is a quick attack to bridge the power gap.
　We wouldn't have to walk all the way to a place where we could be caught by surprise.

　When we got to the forest, we found the Wolves right away.
　There's only one.

'Mr. Mare. I'd like to try out a few new skills, if that's okay with you?
Oh, a new skill?　Come to think of it, you can see the skills.
'Yes. Last time I visited the city, I was able to buy some skills.

　At my words, Mea-san had a surprised look on her face.

''........I see. Being able to see your skills also has that advantage?''
Yes, so can I try a few things?
Yeah. Okay.

　I really wanted to check it out before Mea and I dove into the labyrinth, but unfortunately I didn't have a day off.
　I take out my knife and then activate the skill.

　The skill to be activated is invisibility.
　This is the ability to make the thing granted to me invisible by being aware of it here.
　........In other words, it can't be used against a human target.

　That's why the dream of me becoming invisible myself was so quickly cut off.
　I fell asleep that day, depressed.
　I throw the invisible knife at Wolf.

　The knife hit Wolf's body, which was evident by the spurt of blood.
　Wolf looks around in surprise. He seems to know that the knife is stuck in his body, but his expression is dubious.

　........The only advantage of making a weapon invisible is this.
　Being able to deliver an invisible blow from a long distance would be a huge advantage by itself, but it's not that much of an enhancement.

　The Wolf jumped at me.
　I dodge the attack with plenty of time to spare and kick him.

　The Wolf was blown away by my kick.
　After rolling on the ground a few times, it disappeared, leaving only the material behind.
　In the labyrinth, no demon corpses are left behind.

　They would disappear, leaving only some of the material behind.
　I heard that many ordinary adventurers have a rather favorable opinion that it would save the trouble of dismantling them, but for me, it simply reduces the amount of material.
　My physical abilities have improved enough.

　The reason for this is because I've mass-produced a ring and put it in my pocket.
　As expected, it was a hindrance to wear it on my finger to fight, so I stopped.
　However, you can't put that many skills on rings and other accessories.

　The best ones were about 0/80, and if I wanted to add an S-ranked skill, I'd have to settle for just one.
　Perhaps the size of the equipment determines the limit value to some extent.
　I'm not going to be able to get it right.

　As I was collecting the materials, Mea-san approached me with a drawn-out expression.

''Relius you're getting even stronger.
...Is that right?

　The increase in levels may have something to do with it.
　But for me personally, it's hard to tell.

　Strengthening of muscles, for example, is the sense that the limits of strength are being stretched.
　Of course, basic strength has also improved, but it's not the kind of growth that makes it impossible to bend a fork by accident.

But you've been feeling better lately, haven't you, Mair?
Well, yeah, well what, did someone tell you?
Yes, sir. To the adventurers who came to the inn.

　Whatever it is, Mea says that she is now being invited by others from the party.
　She says she now has enough time to accomplish her request a hundred percent.

''Mea-san's divine artifacts are excellent, so I'm sure you won't have any difficulty in attacking the labyrinth, right?
Of course I'm not going to give you a hard time. I need to get some light prep work in, too. Okay?
Yes, sir.

　I'll spot the Wolf again.
　There he is.

"Mea-san, we found the wolf. Let's just keep going in that direction.
Your detection skills are very useful.

　Mea-san looks at me enviously.

''Shall I grant it to Mea-san's equipment as well?''
'No, no it's fine!　Because I can't be a really strong adventurer if I'm relying on you to do it for me!

　Mea-san shook her head.
　
　I wouldn't be able to fight that much without the equipment I have now.

　It's good to have more equipment, but I have to grow more myself.
　Mea's words reminded me of that again.

　Then we found the Wolf and Mair-san attacked.
　A beautiful fire burns away the Wolf.
　........After all, it's nice to have a divine weapon that can fight so well.

　Will I be able to make even more amazing weapons one day?
　I'll have to raise the bar even more in order to get to the day when I'll be able to make a great weapon that ranks up there with the divine weapons.

''No problem for me either. This should take me to the lowest level.
I understand. Well then, thank you again for your time.
Yeah, nice to meet you.

　We descended into the lower levels of the labyrinth at the same rate.
