DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 8 - The Labyrinth

"This is the second one, feel it!" I swung my sword, and ... A slash! It hit one of the spider monster's legs in front of us.

Aww, that must hurt, right? Losing one of the body parts?, I can guess the spider looked at me with a grudge because of that.

"I managed to knock him out, it's your turn, Liya!"

"Give it to me!" Liya began to cast her spell, creating a fireball that then targeted the body of our sculpting opponent, "Fire magic!"

THE BOMB!

It was like hitting an unmoving target, the spider monster had completely lost its balance to stand up now.

"This is my chance, Speed Up!" I swung the sword to aim for the stomach.

Exactly as I predicted, he couldn't escape. Haha ... How about this?

I was in the right momentum, in one slash of the sword, it was able to make the spider scream in pain before it finally fell down with a condition of severe injuries.

Looks like he's dead. I came to that conclusion when I found his body showing no signs of being alive.

[Up level]

"Is it finished?" Huft, finally being able to defeat the first monster in the labyrinth.

It was quite troublesome, I thought that the first time I entered it would be a little easy, but what we faced before was much different than what I had imagined before.

"Sir, I managed to level up." Liya too?

Good, I don't seem to have chosen to go on an adventure in this labyrinth. It was effective enough to get us to level up quickly.

I only need to defeat as many monsters as possible in order to obtain the highest level, and maybe I will utilize this to develop new skills as well?

"Then, for spiders ..." I looked at the empty land before me.

"........." Eh? It disappeared?

"Answering, the master could not take the body parts of the monsters inside the labyrinth, it would automatically disappear after a few seconds had passed. But instead, he would leave behind an object called a monster gem ..." A rock? I looked carefully at the place where the spider's body was previously located.

It's true, there's a little green gem there, and it's sparkling.

"Every gem collected can be sold to get money, depending on the color. Blue 10 copper, green 25 copper, red 50 copper and, gold 100 copper." Twenty-five? A hundred? Wow, that's big enough, so the spider just now belongs to a monster that isn't at the weakest rank?

"Then, how am I supposed to find an opponent who has a gold jewel?"

"It's easy, master just needs to venture deeper into this maze and fight the boss at the end."

The boss? So our purpose of exploring is arguably to defeat the most powerful monsters in the labyrinth?

Reasonably, the mission in the labyrinth would be complete if we managed to defeat their ruler, so our second goal now here naturally was to find the boss first.

"In addition, sometimes you will have the opportunity to find treasure chests in certain locations. So, check carefully before you decide to go any further ..."

***

"It's the deepest today, I think our exploration is enough to get here today." I hoisted my sword when I felt I was using it for too long.

"You can already enter the level two maze."

"Level two?" I turned my mind to respond to the system's words.

"Yes, it automatically leveled up the floor when the master managed to defeat a certain amount of monsters ..." So that is so, I have to kill 20 monsters to be able to enter the labyrinth area of the next level?

"Finally, master can already ascend to the second floor of the labyrinth from now on." Eh? Wait, second floor? Now then?

Just like the system said, a magic circle appeared under our feet which then like moving us to another place, whoah! You didn't say you were taking us now!!!

"This is the second floor?" It felt like I was done riding the elevator. Really surprising, you know? Suddenly moving someone to a place they don't recognize ... Uh, wait a minute, do the wolves feel the same way when I use the summoning skill?

But, dismiss that thought. Well, the second floor looks the same as the previous floor, it's wearing a cave theme, and ... Hmmmm? It was inhabited by a new monster?

[Ras : Goblin] That's really a goblin?

With a protective suit and dagger, a kind of small sword. He looked thin but looked ferocious, seemingly thinking we were two people who shouldn't have appeared in their territory.

"From now on, you have to defeat monsters 2 times more than before to go up the floor." So as many as 40?

Before I could comment, the goblins first surrounded us. Sure enough, it seems like Liya and I really are guests who get unfriendly treatment from them.

"Master, do I-" I made Liya's sentence cut off by holding her shoulder, not answering her question.

"Then, how do we get out?" I asked, the goblins used that time to attack us for the first time. Seriously? Directly attack?

"..." - ".The system has not yet given an answer.

Oi! Oi! Is that true? You brought me and Liya to this place and didn't tell me how to get out?

Now that we're surrounded, you're done, I think fighting is the only way I can survive here.

"Human meat ..."

"Beautiful girl ..." What happened to the goblins? Why did he say that when glaring at one of us?

"Groan!!!" Gawat, that's a sentence I didn't expect them to say right now.

Hurry, systems! Give me the answer! I could have fought them, but, unfortunately we spent most of the energy on the fight on the first floor, so before the goblins managed to slash at me ... WHOA!!!a magic circle on the ground pulled us out of the location.

"This is outside the labyrinth?" He did? This was unexpected, the part of my head was barely separated from my body if the system did not immediately move us.

"Ah, forgive me ..." Liya fell limp with both knees touching the ground, I think she felt something similar. But it did not make my curiosity disappear because I demanded an immediate answer to this matter.

"Answer, to get out on the second floor you just have to say ... Out, Labyrinth! And that goes for the next floor." The system also told me that I could not suddenly come out while fighting, I had just thought of the idea until the system said it.

Well ... you could say it was cheating, suddenly disappearing after the opponent managed to get me seriously injured would be annoying to them.

"Are we still able to explore on the first floor? You know, that exploration hasn't made us find the treasure chest."

"Sure, why not?" Good, I'm glad to hear that.

And, by the time this talk was over, it ended our adventure today. At least until I manage to gather a lot of treasures, I will start to seriously face the goblins. Just wait for my revenge!
