To the next day, the news of finding a labyrinth in the ruins had reached the ears of adventurers in the empire. They flocked to the labyrinth with their party, the hero party also participated in the labyrinth, and attracted the attention of all the adventurers who were there.
Xi and the others had reached where the labyrinth was, there they saw people crowding. They are crowding the party of heroes who participated in the conquest of the labyrinth.
" It looks like you'll meet your old party in there later Zurugi. " Say Airis lightly.
" Yes, I think so... " Say Zurugi while looking at his hands. He hesitated to enter the labyrinth, but there was no time for him to hesitate anymore, he clenched his hands and believed in his strength, and also with his friends.
The adventurer party and the party of the other adventurers entered first into the labyrinth. Before the adventurer party entered into the labyrinth, they saw Zurugi was there, and looked at him cynically, they showed a feeling of displeasure to Zurugi.
But Zurugi ignored this, because now they are not a party anymore. They could be enemies inside.
" Oh, looks like they're all in... Now it's our turn. " Said Xi, he walked towards the entrance of the labyrinth. When they arrived in the labyrinth, they stopped for a while. " Well, from here we'll split up. " Said Xi.
They split the team, Xi with Yumiko and Yanzams, Airis with Zurugi, Astia with Glaamy. They agreed to Xi's decision, although Airis had perotes because of a team with Zurugi.
They began to split up to take their own path. To expand the range of exploration within the dungeon.
Airis and Zurugi on their way inside the labyrinth, they meet a monster with Rank E, Airis looks at Zurugi and he says. " Among us, you're the weakest, so... Try to speed up to raise your level, beat them. " Say Airis and advise Zurugi to increase his strength faster, because their enemies are worse than they imagined.
Zurugi nodded his head. " Well, Flamy (Horn Rabbit), Roog (Silver Wolf) come out. " He summoned his beast monster, and the two monsters he summoned appeared.
[Horn rabbit ]
[ Rank: D ]
[ Level: 12 ]
[Can evolve ]
[The Silver Wolf ]
[ Rank: D ]
[ Level: 15]
[Can evolve ]
" Defeat them all! " Tell Zurugi while giving orders to his two Beast monsters.
The two Beast monsters, obediently carrying out orders from Zurugi. They attacked some of the monsters that were in front of them.
[Earthworms ]
[ Rank E ]
[ Level: 5]
[The Black Spider]
[ Rank: E ]
[ Level: 8]
The two Beast Zurugi monsters were able to overcome the few monsters that were before him, without any being hit in the slightest. They could clear up some of those monsters easily.
" Good, looks like you got a pretty smart monster. " Say Airis while slightly praising.
Hearing that directly from Airis, Zurugi showed a strange expression. " Tumben once you praised me. " Say Zurugi.
Angrily Airis hit Zurugi on the head and left Zurugi alone.
" Hey wait for me! " Say Zurugi while running after Airis who went alone. On their way, Airis just kept quiet and watched Zurugi finish off the monsters that appeared.
To Airis the monsters that appeared in this labyrinth were not something he had to deal with. He prefers Zurugi to clear up the monetary - the monster, to raise his level quickly.
After two hours inside the labyrinth, Zurugi rose several levels, from the one he originally entered to the labyrinth was at level 18 rising to level 20. And for both of his beasts to go up two levels also from their initial levels.
" We went up two levels during these two hours... It's quite exhausting. " Tired Zurugi said.
Airis clapped Zurugi's shoulder firmly, causing Zurugi to be in pain. " It's only natural that if you come with us from the beginning, maybe... You're already at rank A. " Say Airis lightly.
" Rank A? No way! Everyone has limits, I don't think I'll be able to move up to A rank. " Say Zurugi.
" That's what you think, you saw Glaamy and Yanzams. Their rank was not as high as I was, nor was Xi - the same, but now they had become stronger than before the first time we met. Don't underestimate your abilities. " Say Airis while giving Zurugi to the spirit.
Meanwhile, Xi, Yumiko, Dan Yanzams. They casually surrounded the labyrinth without any disturbance, not a single monster approached the three of them. While walking Xi asked Yanzams something.
" Yanzams, how many Undead Skeletons can you summon? " Task Xi lightly.
While walking next to Xi, he replied. " It was about 600 more Xi - the same, though not as much as Xi - Sama expected, but they were superior to the other Undead. " Say Yanzams.
" I never said that if I wasn't satisfied with your efforts, how much you could charge me was fine. As long as you can develop and petrify me that's enough. " Say Xi lightly.
" I'm sorry for my sassness Xi - Same. But Xi - Just as there is no need to worry, I will definitely continue to serve Xi - the same. " Say Yanzams politely.
Xi just nodded his head to hear Yanzams give her loyalty to him.
While walking Yumiko looked at Xi who was next to her, Then she said. " It turns out you weren't always a cold person huh. " Say Yumiko lightly.
" It's especially for people who are close or my colleagues. " Say Xi lightly.
" But why are you so cold to others? " Tanya Yumiko with sweetness.
" It's because I don't know them. " Answer Xi lightly.
At the same time, there were several Orcs in front of them blocking the road.
" Just allow it to clear them Xi - Same. " Say Yanzams politely.
" Ok "
Yanzams recited his magic quickly, magic energy formed several circles around him, then released the magic to the Orcs in front of him. " Magic Missiles. "
Magic Missile is a low-level magic, even a single bitang mage can use it. Only, the more magic used to form the Magic Missile, the stronger the attack power.
The Orcs that were hit by the Magic Missile died on the spot, after which they continued their journey, and arrived at a room.
The room was quite spacious, and in front of them was a treasure box. But behind the darkness that covered the place, there was something moving behind the darkness.
" It looks like we have a guard here. " Say Yumiko while watching the surroundings.
" Yes, whatever it is, the movement is very fast. " Said Yanzams who was also paying attention to the surroundings.
The movement of the creature that moves behind the darkness is so fast, that it is difficult to feel its movement. They look around them to keep watch for the creature's attack.
When the creature stopped its steps, the place became silent, but Xi knew that the creature was about to attack.
" Yanzams dodged "Said Xi lightly while commemorating Yanzams.
Hearing Xi's words, he became alert, a creature that moved swiftly towards him. It attacked from behind towards the Yanzams, quickly dodging the attacks from the creature.
He darted while attacking the Yanzams, and now his form was visible to the three of them, he was Shadow Cat, a cat monster blanketed by darkness.
[Satan Cat ]
[ Rank: C]
[ Level: 40]
" A black cat. " Say Yanzams.
" It's not just a black cat, the monster can move quickly, even the attack is difficult to guess. " Say Yumiko.
" While Shadow Cat is only Rank C, but... His speed and sharpness were extremely terrifying if it had already reached Rank A. " Say Xi lightly. " Yumiko freezes all the rooms here. " Next while asking Yumiko to freeze the entire room.
Yumiko nodded, she cast a powerful ice magic to make the room covered with thick ice. Shadow Cat, looking at Xi sharply, then quickly attacked Xi, the power from his sharpness was so strong that the ice created by Yumiko could be cut easily.
He darted towards Xi quickly, but as his eyes looked into Xi's eyes, he felt something very terrifying. He was unable to move due to fear. His body was trembling and unable to move in the slightest, his face was panicked and filled with sweat when he saw Xi.
In his view, Xi was a very terrible and crueler man than a demon. In that view, Xi was the devil himself.
[Shadow Cat has been hit by Fear ]
[Fear: Gives the enemy an overwhelming fear that leaves the enemy paralyzed by fear. ]
" Good, you better stay where you are. " Say Xi while taking out one Tamer of Paper then walking closer to Shadow Cat.
