Chapter 433 – End of the Infinite Labyrinth (3)
While conquering the Infinite Labyrinth, I created my own Infinite Labyrinth strategy book.
It feels a bit vulgar to call it a strategy book, but I wrote a strategy book as if it were material that would commonly be posted in a place commonly referred to as ‘Inven’.
This expression looks a little funny because it is a strategy book, but if you express it in a slightly different direction, the meaning is quite different.
An Infinite Labyrinth management book that is handed down only to the Permaten Imperial Family. -Luge Permaten.
Which monster appears on which floor, what are the characteristics of that beast, what strategy will be made through that beast, and in what direction can Fermaten develop and move based on that beast?
In fact, it’s like writing a wiki layer by layer. So far, I’ve been writing pages about the labyrinth in my spare time while managing the empire.
If the Infinite Labyrinth were suddenly renewed and completely changed overnight, I would have become a useless piece of parchment, but nevertheless, I moved my pen.
Someday after I die.
Or after I leave here.
So that the emperor and his children after me, or anyone who will run the Infinite Labyrinth, can see this and attack the Infinite Labyrinth more efficiently.
The book has already reached 90 volumes.
Each book has a different thickness and different content, but the fact that it is written ‘in each layer’ so that those who read it later can easily see it will definitely be of great help to them.
There is no hard mode.
It was deliberately not used because it had to assume a situation where someone with Fermatten blood had to enter in person.
In the first place, unless it is someone with the same administrative power as me, it makes no sense to have someone with Permaten blood be the first to go inside and open the dungeon when there is no one else in the infinite labyrinth.
As a result.
Currently, in a corner of the Imperial Treasury, where no one can enter without permission, books written by Rouge Permaten are piled up on a bookshelf, and there is now room for about 10 books in the empty space.
And to be honest, the remaining space is not enough to be divided into one part rather than one volume.
To be exact…
[The boss rush will begin.]
Climbing down the magic circle, I gave a light word to the party members who came in with me first and raised my weapon.
[After successfully reaching the 90th floor, what lies beyond? I hired ex-adventurers to discuss things and experts gathered to talk about various things, but it seems that my idea was the right answer in the end.]
Write ‘Thoughts’ and read ‘Compliance with the original’.
As soon as you go down, a straight passage extends straight ahead.
[Asty. What is a magical device?]
“I can’t feel it. It feels like it’s just a hallway.”
[Cerica. What are the signs of the enemy?]
“I tried to cut it down as soon as it came out, but it doesn’t seem to be there.”
[Jurdias. Is there a trap?]
“There are no physical traps at all. Except for the iron door in front at the end of the hallway that has a device that opens it.”
The only thing that exists at the end of the passage is the dungeon’s boss room.
“A boss room appears from the 91st floor. I guess this is just it. Heungheung.”
Charlotte opens all her fingers and begins to fold them one by one.
“The bosses from each 10th floor reappear, and on the last 100 floors there is a demon-like entity that created this infinite labyrinth, right?”
“Yes. Probably.”
Laura grabs her bow with more fighting spirit than usual.
“The boss on the 10th floor will appear on the 91st floor, and the boss on the 20th floor will appear on the 92nd floor.”
The way in which the bosses of each area appear as if they are ‘miscellaneous’.
As those who enjoy classic games have often heard of the ‘play room’, the 100th floor area of POA consists of a series of battles with bosses.
The fundamental reason for this is that the dungeon strategy is somewhat ‘roguelike’.
Even if you form a full-level adventurer party and successfully conquer from the 1st floor to the 100th floor once, wouldn’t you be able to form another party and conquer it next time?
In the end, it was confirmed that the labyrinth would have up to 100 floors, and in order to sell the character every time, an appropriate entertainment environment would have to be created.
So, I created something like an event dungeon called ‘another labyrinth’ in a separate location other than the infinite labyrinth, but…
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
The only thing that exists in reality is the infinite labyrinth, and if such a thing exists, it will be someday in the distant future.
Or maybe soon.
“Your Majesty?”
[I thought about it for a long time. I just thought about it. I wonder what kind of guy is beyond this boss room.]
I was the first to walk forward.
Everyone would have been horrified to see the emperor himself leading the way, but they had now gotten used to it and just followed behind me, each holding a weapon.
If it was hard mode, it would be a different story.
[Probably, it must be that guy.]
It’s good.
Open the door.
As soon as we opened the boss room door to the left and right, we were greeted by a wide space like a soccer field.
And in the midst of it.
“Wow, it’s been a while.”
“That’s right. I caught this guy when I was just a freshman.”
[As expected, it’s like that.]
The boss from the 10th floor appeared in front of us.
“It looks a little different in shape? It looks like a sandworm with a body made of steel?”
[As he is the owner of the floor on the 91st floor, he will not be stronger than the boss on the 90th floor.]
Of course, it is on a different level from the boss on the 10th floor.
[In fact, it can be said to be the boss of the 10th floor area and the ultimate king of cave sandworms.]
If you charge up to the 90th floor, it is an autonomous driving system where rollover accidents rarely occur even if you turn on automatic hunting, but from the 91st floor, it is an area that requires control.
[Should I call it the final destination of the demonic beast, or should I call it the ultimate? Otherwise…]
“Ancient Steel Worm?”
Laura spoke in a quiet voice and raised her bow.
[A name similar to that of an ancient dragon.]
“Isn’t that true? I don’t know how long that demon has actually lived, but if you think about the structure of the infinite labyrinth, that guy was eventually kidnapped by the demon and became subordinate to this place, right?”
[That’s right.]
A fact that is only written in the strategy book written by Rouge Permaten.
A top secret known only to those who inherit the blood of Fermaten and my empress.
At the same time, people who personally inspected hard mode dungeons while farming infinite food in the past are aware of the problem, but are keeping their mouths shut for fear of the truth being spread.
One floor of the labyrinth is a place where a certain space and time in the world is repeated infinitely.
Whether it’s a time period 500 years ago, or an ancient monster that existed tens of thousands of years ago.
[Then, let’s try defeating the boss.]
The party that came to conquer the infinite labyrinth does not stop until the 100th floor.
* * *
That time.
“Oh my god, what is all this…?”
The white-haired, red-eyed girl swallowed her saliva as she watched the people moving around busily at every moment.
“If that is the entrance to the infinite labyrinth, then the people outside now…”
“All of them pray for His Majesty’s victory.”
Next to the girl, an old man with white hair who looked older but had a strong body approached.
“Are you…?”
“Oh, don’t worry. I’m just a former adventurer who is now completely retired.”
“…Not active duty?”
“I retired. I had done enough.”
The old man’s bright eyes and strong muscles were still shining, and the girl felt a sense of discomfort in the old man’s spirit.
“No matter how you look at it, it looks like active duty…”
“Active duty. Sounds like a big deal. The only time a retired adventurer picks up a weapon again is when the Infinite Labyrinth runs wild and demons pour out of there like fire and water.”
The old man shook his head.
“That shouldn’t happen. Ah. His Majesty went to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth himself.”
“Your Majesty, are you…” ” ?”
“Well then. Do you see that woman standing guarding the entrance right now? Do you know who she is?”
“I know.”
The girl spoke softly as she looked at the black-haired woman holding her white flag.
“You are the leader of the Empire’s Black Flame Knights, Joanna.”
“Yes. One of the three knights of the Fermaten Empire. She is also the empress. Although she is currently ‘on standby’.”
“Wait?”
“Okay.”
The old man squeezed his fingers and smiled slightly.
“At the same time as preventing anyone from entering the Infinite Labyrinth, we are currently waiting at the entrance to change positions if any of those who were attacking the Infinite Labyrinth are injured or need rest.”
“…I heard that the empresses are actually the strongest in the empire. Is the lab infiniteyrinth that dangerous?”
Rouge Permaten is the emperor and the reason why Permaten became a great empire.
That’s because all of the top ten on the continent are in the Permaten Imperial Castle and are the empresses of Rouge Permaten.
And if the Infinite Labyrinth is powerful enough for those people to have to worry about waiting and shifts-
“Huh? No, no. I don’t think there will be any injuries. If there are, it’s just mental fatigue and stress. A little, like I’ve done all my work and want to retire.”
“Yes?”
“What they are waiting for is anticipation, anticipation.”
The white-haired old man nodded his head with an understanding expression.
“Depending on who is more active, His Majesty the Emperor will give him more love. That’s what I’m looking forward to right now. Haha.”
“…No tension whatsoever.”
“There is bound to be no tension.”
The old man shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s already been several years since we conquered the 90th floor and continued to strengthen our strength. Your Majesty once said something like that.”
“Your Majesty…?”
“Yes, he is.”
The old man looked at his labyrinth with a proud face and continued.
“They couldn’t attack because the door didn’t open, but they boasted that they could break through to the 100th floor as soon as the door opened.”
