Chapter 679 Bottomless Labyrinth

According to the Adventurer's Guild, there have been many sightings of monsters that look like slimes in various places.

Based on the results of sorting out the characteristic information, it is confirmed to be Walavi.

After the last attack on Walavi, the Guild seems to have completely recovered the wreckage. Because it is related to the guild's credit, it is hard to imagine that the wreckage will be lost.

In other words, it was not defeated at all?

No, or it would be more reasonable to consider that there was more than one slime from the beginning...

Senna said that the Adventurer's Guild and the Knights are now working together to collect information. The Walavi that was witnessed is currently super small, so the damage to the surrounding area will not be too great, but judging from the previous trend, there is a danger of growth.

"To sum up, before that, I would like to ask you, Mr. Kobayashi, who have experience in subjugation."

"Destroy Warabimochi?"

"Yes."

"Us again?"

"Yes."

Senna bowed slightly with a pleading look and said, "This is just speculation. The multiple super-small Walavi that exist should be individuals split from the large body of the subjugation. If the number increases without authorization, it will be a very dangerous existence. Before it continues to increase, it must be cleared out."

Indeed.

Slime Walavi can eventually expand to swallow the entire world. If it is left alone, it may bring great disasters to the surrounding areas.

"By the way, why us?"

Meihui asked curiously: "Since the guild and the Knights are investigating, I think it is better to entrust them. Our level has dropped a lot."

Senna shook her head helplessly.

"Unfortunately, they don't know the real danger of Walavi, so their mission is just to collect intelligence. This mission can only be entrusted to Mr. Kobayashi and everyone who have fought Walavi once. Can I ask you..."

"Even if you say so, we don't want to be in danger. Sorry, you can go find someone else."

As soon as Kobayashi finished saying this, they looked at him.

"Ah, I know, I know! I'll do it, okay?!"

"Really?! As expected of Mr. Kobayashi, I always believed you would say that...!"

To be honest, I really didn't want to agree.

But Sena's plea made him unable to refuse...Of course, the condemnation of his companions also made him unable to resist.

Since he agreed, he had to prepare well.

"Then, if you want to chase Walavi, you have to ask Wiz for help. She is the best in ice magic. Anyway, call Wiz first."

"Why did the name of that lich appear? Are you going to be Walavi's bait?"

Aqua looked very unhappy.

Kobayashi rolled his eyes at her and said, "You, have you forgotten everything before? The weakness of that fern cake monster is that it will solidify after cooling. This time it is super small. Although it can be solidified even without Wiz, there are so many of them and I can't handle them in two places. Anyway, there must be someone who can use ice magic, and the more the better."

"Tsk."

The stupid goddess was shocked.

She and Wiz are the worst. It's not that she still hates liches like before, but she feels that it's embarrassing for her as a goddess to rely on liches to solve such a thing.

Although the stupid goddess has lost face a long time ago.

Darkness also asked curiously: "Senna, where was Valavi found?"

"... All found near the labyrinth." Sena said to everyone: "The detailed eyewitness information has been reported to the guild. Please go to the guild to confirm."

Near the labyrinth?

In such a place, it might attack monsters again and absorb their magic power.

In other words, if you are not careful, Valavi will become huge again.

...Isn't this dangerous?

In order to avoid that, it would be bad if we don't defeat it quickly.

"Okay, let's go to the guild first to ask about the location where it appeared. Let's go, everyone!"

"Oh!" xN

The group went straight to the guild.

After arriving at the guild, the counter lady Luna seemed to have been waiting for their arrival. When she saw them, she immediately came up excitedly.

"We have received reports on the locations where small Walavi appeared. This is the location where it has been seen so far..."

She handed over a form.

After seeing it, Xiaolin frowned subconsciously.

"Nearby ruins, underwater temples, decayed fortresses, snow forests, Eversummer Temple, big tree mazes... Hey, hey, hey, aren't these the places we have been to before?"

"That's all, please."

"Yes, yes..."

After getting the destination where Walavi appeared, they chose to split into three groups.

In addition to Wiz and Xiaolin, Yunyun can also use ice magic, but she can only use intermediate magic. Although it is not as powerful as the advanced magic, it is enough to deal with the super small Walavi.

"Anyway, let's hurry up."

"Okay."

"I, I will try my best."

They separated.

Kobayashi, Ryu and Aqua came to the nearby ruins and saw the familiar sphere.

"Ah. It's here! Kobayashi, this is the super small Walavi you are talking about!?"

"That's right. If possible, I was expecting that it was a slime that was mistaken... After all, it is more appropriate to think that it was split from the large Walavi."

"Hurry up and defeat it, we still have to go to other labyrinths."

"I agree. Speed ​​is the key here."

Xiaolin's ice magic was activated instantly, freezing it in the blink of an eye, and then Wiz smashed it.

Super easy.

"Okay, as Xiaolin thought, it's easy to freeze it! And because it's small, the freezing speed is much faster than the previous big slime. In this case, the battle should be easier than expected."

"If we spend more time, I don't know when the giant size will appear. Okay, let's go to the next maze quickly."

The task of beating the slime is not easy.

The process of beating is easy, but the journey is very hard. It took seven days to finish.

Everyone gathered in the guild again.

"It took longer than expected. Let's go back and report to Sena first."

"Ah, go back early to let her feel at ease."

Before they went to report, Sena ran over quickly, and they didn't know where she learned about their return.

"Ha, great, you're back... I just discussed the future policy with the Adventurer's Guild."

"Future policy?"

Kobayashi and his companions looked at each other and asked curiously, "Is there anything we need to discuss? As you said, we have eliminated the super-small Walavi that appeared everywhere..."

"That, um... although it's hard to say, but..."

Senna pursed her lips.

Somehow, she suddenly felt uneasy.

"... Increased."

"What?"

Kobayashi didn't quite hear her words.

After sorting out her emotions, Sena slowly said, "After you left the city, Mr. Kobayashi, we received a lot of eyewitness reports about Walavi. As far as I know, there should be dozens of them."

"Dozens?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, is this true?! Where did they come from?!"

"We can't eliminate this number by ourselves, what should we do?"

Aqua and the others were already panicking.

Xiaolin also felt dizzy. A few slimes had already taken them seven days to run around and kill. There were dozens of them... It wouldn't be that he would be either on the way to subjugate the super small Walavi every day, right?

He would be annoyed to death!

Sena said awkwardly: "I have already requested the assistance of the guild. Now is not the time to consider the danger. I also conveyed the information about the 'weak ice magic' that you found out, Mr. Xiaolin. In this way, the adventurers should be able to fight."

"I am so grateful for the help of the adventurers, but if you can do this, wouldn't it be better to do it from the beginning?"

"The strength of you is not comparable to that of ordinary adventurers. Please understand that this is just an emergency measure."

Her praise was very useful, but asking them to do things was adding burden to them.

"Also, while asking the adventurers to destroy the Walavi, I would like to ask Mr. Kobayashi to do other work."

"What? Aren't we also going to do the work of defeating the Walavi?"

"Of course, I would like to ask Mr. Kobayashi, but this is not the situation to talk about. The Walavi discovered this time... there is eyewitness information saying that they all appeared in the same place."

Kobayashi immediately became alert.

Because Walavi can split and merge, maybe they are preparing to merge and then come back.

And the same place...

Could it be the source of the Walavi's appearance?

Senna was also slightly confused and said: "Why did the big one fall, but the small one appeared? In order to solve this mystery, please help Mr. Kobayashi to investigate the reason. The location is a maze extending from deep underground-the bottomless maze."

The bottomless maze...

Kobayashi touched his chin.

Will Raf appear there? Will that be the source of Walavi's production?

Everything is unknown.

"If we leave it alone, the number of small Walavi may increase. Please go there to investigate when you are ready."

"There is no other way... Anyway, let's go and take a look first."

Kobayashi scratched his head helplessly.

————

"Is this the bottomless maze?"

"...It looks like a dungeon. I don't quite understand why it is called the bottomless."

Aqua hid behind Kobayashi trembling.

Kobayashi also agreed with her point of view.

This place is completely different from the underground maze like the Tower of Babel in "Terriputa". It looks very much like the dungeon of Elden, which is gloomy and dark, with almost no lights.

If it were pitch black, it would not be so scary, but it still illuminates a little bit, making you feel very uncomfortable.

Darkness said: "It's probably a metaphor for extending deep underground. I don't know exactly how far it extends."

"Anyway, let's go down first. Maybe we can find the reason why Walavi appeared."

"Okay, let's go..."

At Huihui's suggestion, the group moved towards the depths of the dungeon.

The road here is not wide, at most two people can walk side by side, plus the atmosphere is quite depressing and cramped, in short, the more you walk, the more you feel uneasy and anxious.

When you arrive at a certain place.

"Hmm? There seems to be a sign standing here."

"What the heck... 'This place is under lockdown. Refuse to persuade or sell. Intruders who ignore the precautions will suffer, so please don't be angry'... It seems to be Rafe's handwriting."

"Are you kidding? What are these?"

Everyone looked very unhappy with it.

Aqua also curled her lips and said: "It feels so bad to treat other people's affairs as sales... I said, Megumin, what's the matter with you holding the wand?"

"I'm a little angry, so I thought I'd do what Raph wanted and release a blast of magic as a signal to invade this place." Megumin's eyes lit up, looking like an evil villain.

Darkness held her down.

"Stop it, Megumin. What's the use of telling the other party that we're coming?"

"...If it's an underground maze, wouldn't it be possible to bury him alive using explosion magic?"

"Xiao Lin, please stop inciting her!"

Darkness rolled his eyes at Xiao Lin who was in the fire, and said: "We don't know the specific road here. If there are other entrances and exits, it will just let him slip away again. Our purpose is to investigate the appearance of Varavi The reason is that it would be just right if Rafe is here.”

Yes, she is right.

Even Rafe should understand the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows, not to mention that he runs very fast every time.

"Then, on the basis of investigating the reason for Varavi's appearance, let's also arrest Raf. Okay, let's go."

Xiao Lin took the lead and rushed forward.

They didn't know how many floors they had gone down, and they were a little confused about the direction, but luckily there was only one passage and they could return at any time.

Then on a certain floor, they saw something strange.

"...What is that?"

"There seems to be something like a stone statue sitting on it. Is that also an enemy?"

Xiao Lin's eyes only saw a group of black stones. When he looked closer, he saw that they looked very similar to Graeme.

"But it doesn't seem to be moving? Look, it doesn't react when I touch it."

"So why do you keep touching me! I don't know what will happen!"

Xiaolin yelled at the stupid goddess who had just touched her.

Darkness stood nearby and said: "Everyone, there is a sign here.' Dear intruder, I am very sorry that you failed to listen to my advice. Originally, I wanted to greet you in person, but it is difficult to do so now. Please forgive me. Should I say it as a substitute or something? In order to welcome the invaders, please enjoy it."

"The guards who transformed the stone statue?"

"That one is indeed the one just now..."

“No ah ah ——————”

Aqua suddenly shouted, startling them.

What was even more frightening was that the stone statue, which had been motionless just now, slowly stood upright under the scream, and its eyes lit up a dangerous scarlet color.

Then he grabbed Aqua in his hand.

"No, it's not good! Xiaolin! Aqua... Aqua was captured by the stone statue!"
