Chapter 263 – Going to the Labyrinth (6)
After taking a light rest while sucking on Manamik.
I took a shower and returned to the command center to check the situation.
“There were no deaths.”
“There were no serious injuries. Everyone had only minor injuries. Rather, they were worried about other things.”
Amy, who brought the data from the command center and reported it to me, scratched her cheek and smiled faintly.
“Something else? What?”
“Some of Sir Bernhard’s knights had some seriously damaged armor…” ” “
“Are you afraid I’m going to ask you something? Let’s stop worrying.”
Knights wouldn’t pay much attention.
Even if the armor of medieval knights is personal property, I support the armor worn by Fermaten knights.
I know that it is not a particularly big problem to break a gift given by a lord who has signed a contract and is loyal.
Armor is something made to protect the body.
But the poor adventurer feels differently.
They will have a strong feeling that they have rented the equipment, and they will perceive my provision of equipment to them as a ‘lend’ rather than a pure sense of ‘giving it’.
“It’s okay if he doesn’t die. Instead, tell him clearly. If he gets hurt more seriously out of fear of damaging his armor, I’ll cut him off then.”
“I understand.”
“Other than that, are there any other problems?”
“Yes. We are on track. The amount of magic stones supplied is far exceeding the average daily supply of the Infinite Labyrinth.”
“Of course. How systematically and efficiently they are collecting magic stones.”
It’s just midday, so it’s time for everyone to have lunch and take a break.
Nevertheless, we have already achieved results that far exceed the average statistics reported by existing adventurers hunting monsters and bringing back magic stones.
“Even if I’m a little less efficient in the afternoon, it’s enough to say I can secure at least half of what I have now. Use it.”
“…Are you dissatisfied with something?”
“I’m working hard to collect magic stones like this, and I’m wondering what on earth the previous counts of Fermaten have been doing so far.”
Hyeonta is coming.
With just a little bit of organization and effort, you can collect all the magic stones like a vacuum cleaner, so what have the previous counts of Fermaten done so far?
“You always eat bread and have sex behind my back, so there is no development in your territory. Tsk.”
“The Count…”
“We don’t just have sex. We have sex every day, but we only have sex when we work and rest.”
I show it with results.
It is proven by the results.
“I will continue to collect magic stones like this in the future. Unless the infinite labyrinth suddenly disappears one day.”
It will disappear someday.
But not now.
“Count. Sir Lambert penetrated just before the boss room on the 30th floor.”
While assessing the situation, the path to the 30th floor was finally opened.
“It took longer than I thought. Why?”
“Fighting against the incubus all the time…”
“Ah. I see. I understand. Don’t say any more.”
There are many things in the world that you don’t need to know.
While Lambert was having a hard time against the Incubus, I took a break, so now I just have to follow the path they opened and go straight down to the 30th floor.
‘The composition is not bad.’
I brought up the F.A.O game screen in my head.
Light armor warrior. Spearman.
Archer. Puppeteer.
Flame wizard. Earth wizard.
The composition from the front row to the back row is not bad.
I take the lead and deal damage, and Nero assists from the side and deals damage.
And after that, the dealers fire a barrage at the enemies and it’s over.
In any case, Charlotte, the puppeteer, can use the Vorpal Rabbit doll to deal with enemies attacking us from behind, so the combination balance is quite good.
Although the lack of a healer is a drawback, you can create an environment where a healer is not needed.
‘Dip it with a dill and press it.’
Just push ahead with overwhelming firepower and attack power.
No matter what enemy or boss appears, just kill it before the boss pulls out any gimmick.
‘Just kill the boss before phase 2 comes out.’
I already know what kind of guy the 30th floor boss is.
That boss is called ‘Wailing Wall’ by newbies, but with our current team composition, it is an enemy we can easily deal with.
Because I am not a newbie, and my team is not all newbies.
“Count. Everyone is gathered.”
Laura brought the group.
It felt like a typical group of adventurers was approaching behind the battle coat bunny girl, and I felt psychologically stable just by that sight.
“Hmm. Everyone…Good.”
Looking at the situation, everyone is taking care of safety.
The same goes for Charlotte, the princess of the empire.
The same goes for Zenith, the former Countess of Permaten.
The same goes for Evelyn Barbas, the owner of the magic tower.
“I thought you hated armor.”
Everyone wore armor designed to protect vital areas.
It’s not like bikini armor, but only Granger’s chest armor is removed and covers the front.
Zenith couldn’t do that, so she just came out, but the adventurer didn’t expose her bare skin and even came out wearing a robe with a protection magic on her clothes.
Of course, the area of the fabric had to be larger than the area of the armor, but it was still a much more wholesome and modest outfit than the bunny girl-bikini-nursing uniform lineup that targeted the 25th floor.
“Isn’t everyone uncomfortable?”
“It’s better than getting hurt for no reason.”
“Mother, are those… “The clothes you used to wear as an adventurer?”
“Is it awkward?”
“No. It’s a bit refreshing because it’s a new look. You look younger than me.”
“I wonder how much of an age difference there is…Hmph.”
Everyone made sure to wear protective gear.
“Everyone is dressed healthily, so only Laura looks strange.”
“Are you planning on dressing me in normal clothes? You said earlier that you wanted to dress me in a maid’s uniform.”
“That’s just for when you’re in bed. During battle…Um…”
What is it?
On the contrary, Laura was wearing clothes that were so foreign that she was worried.
It doesn’t mean anything.
It’s just a matter of party unity.
Trying to match the colors of the clothes you are wearing, trying to match the region you are from, or even matching the party to only your sister’s character.
“I can’t change my clothes right now, so I’ll just go downstairs. That doesn’t mean I can’t put Laura in Granger either.”
There’s still a long way to go before we even have to unify the costumes.
I have a plan, but not right now.
‘It’s a bit awkward unless there are five people who can protect themselves with myth stones.’
Like the party that attacked the 25th floor, avoid all enemy attacks with overwhelming physical strength, or find a way to avoid any problems even if you are attacked.
The method is through myth stones, but unfortunately there are only two myth stones at the moment.
“The preparations are over, so let me prepare too.”
I went to the side of the situation room, sat down on the chair, and grabbed the control stick again.
Weeeing.
White Granger moved forward, and I picked up a new weapon.
Paru.
“Let’s go.”
That thing called poker.
“Break the head of the boss on the 30th floor.”
* * *
30th floor, boss room entrance.
Ahhh!!
The incubus’ screams scatter throughout the cave.
The torture was so severe that I felt sorry for the incubus.
“Wow…”
“Why? Do you want to be there too?”
“Huh? Me? Oh, no. That can’t be possible.”
The blonde young man with his hair cut short waved his hand and shook his head.
He was a young man whose physique was relatively smaller and slimmer than others, and whose body was more suited to the light armor of the Granger than the heavy armor of the Tuscan.
“Uh, guild leader.”
“I am now a knight commander. One of the three great knights of Permaten.”
“…Yes, leader. I have a question.”
The young man pointed in the direction of the boss room.
“If we attack the 30th floor like this and go down to the basement, will we be able to reach the 50th floor someday?”
“I guess so. Maybe we can reach below the 50th floor.”
“Below the 50th floor…”
“It may be in the very distant future. Why? Are you afraid?”
“I’m not afraid. It’s just that.”
The young man scratched his cheek and smiled slightly.
“I can’t believe the infinite labyrinth is being thoroughly conquered in this way.”
“It’s all thanks to the Count. He’s really…An indispensable person here.”
“…Captain.”
The young man lowered his voice with a serious face.
“Do you really think the Count is the person we need here?”
“Huh? Ah. That’s right now.”
“What now?”
“Yes. Now. Before, it was okay to have someone else. But now it’s different. If there is no one who created this whole situation, this system won’t work anymore.”
Bernhard pointed the ax in the direction of the boss room.
“Do you conform to the system created by the Count, or do you rebel against the Count and get kicked out? That’s what will happen to this land in the future.”
“…”
“Is there anything you don’t like about the Count?”
“The Count…”
The young man quenched his appetite and raised his head to the ceiling.
“…It’s not like that. It’s just that I’m too crazy about sex…?”
“Thanks to that, it’s like this now?”
“…Isn’t it too promiscuous?”
“That’s you…Keuhmm.”
Bernhard approached the young man and whispered quietly.
“There is a reason why there are so many women around the Count, Ermond.”
“…”
“It’s coming at the right time.”
Boom.
Five women followed behind appeared, wearing heavy armor.
[Good job. Don’t come in, but watch from behind.]
The knight in white armor stood at the head, leaving the others behind, and confidently entered the boss room.
“…”
Crack.
Looking at that sturdy yet proud back, Ermond just bit his lower lip.
