494 Formerly The Strongest, Spending The Holidays As Usual
494 Formerly The Strongest, Spending The Holidays As Usual
Two more days had passed since then, and the College was to celebrate the holidays, but there had been no particular progress on the matter during that time.
That is to say, there was a lot of air going on.
And the holidays are uninterrupted, and the holiday college also has an air that is more tangible than usual.
It just didn't mean it was exactly the same as a weekday, and there was something holiday there in a way.
But that didn't mean anything good.
Because there were classes on weekdays, or it felt like it was still complete inside the classroom, but now it feels diffuse on campus, but I just said?
Wherever I was at the academy, the air was stuck.
And the training ground also seemed the same.
There's so much going on there that I can't explain it with words such as, because I'm training.
"Hmm... I personally don't really care about the nature of it, but it still doesn't feel very good. I want it resolved quickly..."
"Stop saying things that blame me without looking at me...! I'm still trying!?
"No, I know you're working hard, but I'm working hard on this, so that's fine, isn't it?
"Mmmm... you're absolutely right..."
With that talk, the Somas stay behind the training ground.
Because I'm not here for anything today.
No, technically, it ended at first sight, I should say.
"Well, so far it's all over, isn't it?
"Mm-hmm. I've set the order to look around to save you more time than you used to."
As the words put it, Soma and the others were walking through the college.
Inspections, etc., not simply looking around.
Even though it is a holiday, it is more because it is a holiday.
Although there is no such thing as martial law, it is actually a situation close to it.
Students are scattered over the holidays, so it was necessary to see and walk there regularly.
Most naturally, that's not Soma's role.
It belongs to Hildegard and in the case of Soma it is just an escort.
I didn't even have to go.
Though.
"I don't know what to repeat when you're done, but these are our roles, so you could have waited for me, right?
"That being said, it didn't take much time. I just turned that minute of time around and all I could do was figure out if I could find one piece of material in the library. Then it would be no different to accompany you."
Of course, that's a more meaningful way to spend time for Soma... but anyway, Soma hasn't done anything brilliantly right now.
I know Hildegard is working hard, because he's not lying, and Soma is not as selfish a person as he is in a situation like that with hatred.
"Mmm... I mean, isn't this what you call that? The soma, isn't it!?
"... I've wondered from time to time before, where have you been purchasing that kind of crap from?
"Hmm, I have false and full knowledge. It's so easy!
"Neither would God in this world have anticipated, such as the use of the root area that way..."
It's the corner of the training ground, the entrance to the labyrinth, that Soma and the others head to in such a crappy conversation.
It means Hildegard looks around before he goes there as usual, so Soma was dating.
Exploring the labyrinth at a time like this, you might think, but the opposite is true.
That's also true for normal labyrinth exploration, but what the Somas are doing is not.
This is the time when we need to fill in some uncertainty.
Either way, as they normally entered the labyrinth, Somas stopped on foot some walking distance.
"Hmm... instead of having any shadows around, there's not even any sign that someone's been in here the last few days."
"Well, I guess so. Though I said there was nothing, I didn't know I could challenge you here sooner. Just in case the internship is solemn, it also affects you."
By the way, it may be now, but that incident a few days ago... no, accidents, as far as I'm concerned, have been known all over the college at last.
This is closer to the form that, rather than having been informed, it has become known half automatically given the security and the like.
Well, in the first place, almost everyone in the first grade of the Primary School knows.
Given that blocking all that mouth was unrealistic, it was also natural to get acquainted with it throughout the college.
Anyway, that's why apparently there are few users of the labyrinth... or none of them.
But that's only convenient from the Somas.
"If so, will it go away? I don't know what's going to happen today."
"I can imagine somehow because of you... well, I don't agree that you can't afford to relax. Okay, let's go."
That's what Hildegard took out of his nostalgia, a white sphere the size of a fist.
Thomas grabs Hildegard's left hand while he lifts it to shake it that fits in his right hand.
And.
"- Metastasis"
Immediately after the squeal, the surrounding space shakes slightly.
But it was really a moment, and when it subsided, the surrounding sights had changed with galleries.
"Hmm... I'm getting used to it, but I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"Well, let's move in the labyrinth."
Needless to say again, what just happened is a spatial transfer.
In other words, what Hildegard used was a magic guide for space transfer, which is a very rare substitute.
Normally, the interior of the labyrinth is such that it is not possible to transfer space.
What should be called the exception is the teleporter, but whatever, you think this was analyzed and made of it?
However, there are drawbacks to this, namely that you have to be in the same labyrinth to travel, and that you can only set up two destinations.
In other words, only the entrance and exit could be set, and that is why I was unable to use this in the case of Sylvia.
By the way, it was convenient not to have people because I would use this.
Sometimes it is not to involve the irrelevant, but, as I said earlier, it is quite a rarity, and above all it is troublesome in case the destination of the transfer is known.
That's why I always try to avoid people's eyes and use them.
Whatever.
"Well, let's get to it."
At the end of Soma's gaze, which I said with ease, is the staircase that leads to the lower level.
Last time we went around all this hierarchy, we ended it just in case.
It happened, but given that we were able to rescue Sylvia in time, there are things like not knowing what would be fortunate...
The current location is the eighty-ninth hierarchy.
In other words, below this is the ninetieth hierarchy, where the area bosses are.
If you don't feel it and still just re-tighten your mind a little, you go straight down the stairs.
In less than a minute, we'll be at the bottom.
- Sword Reason, Dragon God Protection, Regular Battlefield, Sign Detection Class: Surprise Invalid.
What sounded instantaneous was a tall sound.
A blunt blade was looming directly next to his face, not even thirty centimeters away, and Soma exhaled his sigh as he prevented it with his own sword.
"No, just that this would be too mean"
"I think you might be able to react to what's happening... well, I'm sure this is a bad idea."
It was a vast hall.
It's too vast. Not much, visual aid in the labyrinth has arrived, and the ends are covered in darkness.
How big is it... At least, it didn't seem like it would be for a few dozen meters.
Besides, it's the same with respect to the top, and like a blowout, there's a pocky hole there, and I still can't see it wrapped up in the dark beyond.
Well, up there, anyway, given the width, there's probably only one hall in this hierarchy.
It's a hierarchy like never before.
And if you're distracted by that, you just get hit by this, which has stuffed the distance in an instant.
Really mean, and then bad in nature.
"It's like you can see at a glance what kind of person you made it, all the time."
While I say it, I kick it off.
I didn't kick him so hard, but he also decides he should distance himself, and he backs off honestly as he is.
The whole thing was revealed, and looking at it, Soma nodded, fumbling.
"I don't know, it's a lot smaller."
"As I look at that and say it's small, do you think you're getting a lot dull? Well, I didn't think the same thing."
But that won't help either.
Anyway, it's only about three meters long in front of you.
Basically, the strength of a demon is proportional to the size of the body for the most part.
Some exceptions may be made, or if the size of the body is the same, there may be another criterion, but that's usually the case.
Even this labyrinth became so large that it descended the hierarchy as to obey its laws, and it was not uncommon to exceed ten meters per eighty-nine hierarchies.
The height of the hierarchy was accordingly higher... and given that, it would be natural to assume that the area bosses here are also of considerable size.
Yet it's about three meters.
It is also natural to feel this is small.
"Hmm... when this becomes the area boss, it's a little unexpected."
"It's not like there's any other sign of demons in this hierarchy, though. Definitely that's the area boss... or if that's the common demon that emerges here, it's not going to be too difficult at once."
"Are you sure you're right"
You mean the same type as the fortieth hierarchy?
It just doesn't seem like it's going to be spatially closed, unlike there.
"So, what do you say? If we need to pull back, I'll be ready."
"Hmm, you are..."
Returning the words, he narrows his eyes and stares at it in front of him.
That's a skeleton, in a nutshell.
However, while it is a skeleton, it is dressed all in vain for some reason.
It's like a nobleman, but I should say, the cape and the like are also woven... honestly it doesn't look good on me.
No, the same goes for my face being completely skeleton rounded out, especially with that in my hand. It sucks.
There will be five meters in length, far more gigantic, boneless sword than its back length.
I have to wonder why you're dressed like that in so many ways.
"That's right. If you're going to head to the next tier, you're going to need it."
I don't know what it has to do with anything, I think so, I kick the ground.
- Reason of the sword, protection of the dragon god, divine speed: shrinkage.
It's only for a moment that I've packed the distance that there would have been ten meters, as the other side has done.
And at about the same time, my right arm is swinging.
The sword flashes run...
- Sword Reason, God Killing, Dragon Killing, Dragon God Protection, Absolute Cutting, Disease Thunder: Purple Lightning Flash.
Moment after moment, it moved.
As this one moved, it also matched this blow with a sword just to return the interest… Soma hoisted the edge of her lips just a little bit.
Shortly afterwards, a high sound sounded - at the same time, a blunt glow danced through the universe.
'-!?
That face in front of you has only bones, as I mentioned earlier, and it's also just a cavity in its orbit.
But I can still clearly see that I was stunned... the reason for waiting for it to fit is not natural.
One more step, and as I panicked, it moves, too.
"- It's late"
- Sword Reason, God Killer, Dragon Killer, Dragon God Protection, Absolute Amputation, Massacre Sword, Powerless Power: Rokkansen.
There were six sword flashes that ran.
Slash the limbs and neck away from the torso and further amputate the torso.
All of that is momentary, and it is at the same time that accelerated consciousness returns and they fall according to gravity.
Turned into seven wreckages. That beat me straight to the ground - on the verge, I felt its mouth open.
However, as a matter of course, no sound is emitted from it, and everything is disputed by the falling sound.
He exhaled as he pushed away the fatigue that had struck him.
"Phew...... Okay, now this hierarchy shouldn't be a problem, and let's just go to the next hierarchy...... yeah? What's wrong with you?
So Soma tilted his neck because Hildegard looked at this one with a frightened face.
But I don't have the feeling of hatred and being seen with such a face.
"No, I would have thought of it now. Well, I didn't think I'd have a problem with that either... but I didn't expect you to kill me so quickly."
"Is that so? Well, he wasn't a weak opponent..."
Strong or weak, it would certainly be the stronger of those who fought in this world.
But he's weak compared to the dragon that named him Fafnir and so on, and Soma has been familiar with a lot of things since then.
This would be the natural consequence.
"So there's a lot of standards... oh, that's enough. I mean, I thought, why are you preaching my common sense of the former dragon god every time? Normally not the other way around."
"I don't even know you said that."
Instead, isn't this former dragon god just too engulfed in human secularity?
I thought so, but I just shrug my shoulders because it's nothing that happens from what I said.
Then I turned forward.
"Look, let's move on, shall we? Wouldn't you have time to be too long?
"... well, you're right. Safe passage through here means there shouldn't be any particular obstacle."
"Is there anything at the bottom?
"Probably not, I shouldn't be. If it's a regular labyrinth, there must be a boss who protects the core of that labyrinth, but this is only a sealed facility. There must be only shards of the power of the Evil God in the 100th Hierarchy."
"Hmm... I understand."
If that's the case, it may be difficult just by the end of the day, but we'll probably be able to get there next time.
I don't know what will happen when we get there, and that shouldn't have been the purpose in the first place... well, we've come this far around the corner.
Let's try to hang out until the end, although I'm not going to get a clue about magic after all.
With that in mind, first of all, Soma walked out to the next hierarchy.
