This Time, To The Believed Path
The Great Labyrinth

Helt, the shadow of Alphiella, submitted a written report along with a maze photo he got in front of Leana. He also put a piece of paper with a familiar symbol in his eyes.

Leana read carefully the report while listening to the oral report from Helt.

"Everything is the same as the information you have given us. We've confirmed at least five times before marking his location.”

The photo in the report depicts a large labyrinth he remembered in his first life, unchanged. It's just that the current location is not the same as before. Is there a meaning behind this?

“Then where is the location of the labyrinth?”

“The maze is at the base of the cliff.”

“!”

The cliff had many real rumors regarding the discovery of monsters and was closely watched by the Purple Chain Pillar.

But the rumors themselves should only apply on the surface of the cliff as no one has ever touched anything that is at the bottom of the cliff. At least not for himself and Alphiella's shadow.

Knowing that Alphiella's shadow touched the cliff, he became a little worried.

“How did you get that far?”

“We have searched the corners of the Solfilyan empire and did not get any results. Before deciding to take permission from you to investigate the area, we made the decision to investigate the bottom of the cliff. Forgive our carelessness, lady.”

Not the cliff area but the base of the cliff.

He never touched the cliff area in his first life. This place is one of those places that he could not think of looking.

For the shadow Alphiella who decided to check on her, Leana did not know if they were reckless or lazy.

The large labyrinth itself was found in the eastern area of the Solfilyan empire. The region that suddenly got a disaster and was abandoned just like Alphiella it was there where to find a large labyrinth.

At that time he was severely injured in the misinha and separated from his companion. As he regained consciousness, the labyrinth guard had brought him in and treated his wounds.

There they talk until Leana finally makes a contract with him. It was something very magical, given the nature of the labyrinth guard.

This time he plans to do the same. He will re-establish a contract with the labyrinth keeper because he has speculated that the labyrinth keeper is the key to stopping the war.

Leana put Helt's report and leaned back into the chair. His eyes were still staring at Helt who was still staying neatly.

Leana sighed.

“Because your decision has borne fruit, I will turn a blind eye to this. But there is no second chance to make a decision like this, understand?”

Helt immediately sparkled and placed his right hand on his left chest.

“Ready! Thank you, Miss Leana!”

As Helt left the office, Leana looked back at the report regarding the large labyrinth.

He only had time until Forde returned to Grandall and he felt he would not have enough time to cover up his actions.

Therefore he plans to psrgi eaok day and act quickly before his time runs out.

***

Leana goes to the large labyrinth along with her five shadows with the codenames Helt, Piria, Cassen, Veren, and Duvde.

As the six were about to depart, Alscan and Zenox came in agitatedly stopping them.

“Mrs Leana!”

“Alscan, Zenox, what's up?”

“Zenox wants to give you something.”

Zenox gave him a box and inside was a pair of large daggers that were very familiar to him. Those two daggers were his weapons back then when he became Rein, the shadow of Volfelance.

Leana looked at Zenox stunned.

“Zenox this..”

“When I heard you were going to the big maze, I heard the story that you were good at using a big dagger. I also asked Mr. Adde's advice earlier. He was also kind to give me the details.” said Zenox timidly.

Leana immediately recalled last week how Adde suddenly asked about the weapon he used when he was a shadow of Volfelance.

At that time Leana was so busy and tired that she had no intention of asking any further and just giving what Adde needed.

Staring at the dagger, Leana felt very familiar as the shape really resembled her weapon before.

Formerly the dagger he used was a gift from Eclipse when he officially became the shadow of Volfelance. The dagger with the length of half his arms has a black color with indigo carvings that seem to light up.

Leana did not remember whether she gave Adde the details, but they were so similar that she could not tell the difference.

He looked at the still timid Zenox. Leana has never met a forger who made the weapon used by Volfelance's shadow, the, but if Zenox turns out to be the forging Grand Duke first then he can only be amazed by how fate works magically in his life this time.

Leana smiled softly.

“Thank you Zenox. I'm very happy with your gift.”

“Sa-I would be very honored if this dagger can help you.” Zenox said.

Alscan who was speechless with a slightly irritated feeling entered between the two.

“I also contributed in providing additional magic in the dagger youho.” said Alscan as if to boast.

“Then I will also thank you, Alscan.”

Leana took the two daggers from her box and brought them closer to the earrings her husband gave her. In an instant the two daggers disappeared absorbed into the earrings.

Those who saw it were stunned, especially for Alscan.

“Oohh... So it is a crystal stone rumored to be taken from the labyrinth.” said Alscan in awe. “Mistress, if I may–”

“Sorry, Alscan. But for now I don't accept requests.” said Leana quickly cutting her words.

As she turns around, Leana can hear Alscan's slightly disappointed voice but he does not rub her and leaves Alphiella.

The location of Alphiella is not too far from the cliff so it does not take long for them to get to the area.

Before entering the cliff area, they had to pass through the border wall guarded by the Purple Chain.

Thanks to the ability of the shadows, they could easily pass through it without being caught.

A few miles later, they reached the cliff.

The giant cliffs that could not be seen at the end were as if they could swallow someone alive.

The location of the large labyrinth is between posts 17 and 18. Previously they entered through post 15 then if they went down the edge of the cliff, then they will find a sign that has been made Alphiella shadow before.

However in order to avoid the scrutiny of the Purple Chain, they decided to descend the cliff early.

Carefully, they went down the cliff. arriving at the base, which was there was only an empty area that was arid and dark.

They could not even see the edge of the cliff in front and behind them other than the cliff wall they had descended earlier. The temperature there is also cold due to the lack of incoming sunlight.

Alertly, the six walked down the bottom of the cliff in complete silence.

None of them dared to make a sound because it could attract the attention of any creature that was floating there.

Although there are sometimes sounds that they cannot possibly produce, no one will question them.

They focus too much on their goal to overcome fear.

Two hours passed and they finally reached their destination.

A fairly large hole formed in the cliff wall. Compared to a hole, perhaps a cave was the right name.

Although the cliff has many mysteries, the cave is also an oddity that should not be owned by the cliff. As they walked down the cliff, not a single hole or space formed on the cliff wall.

They did not go down the tube entirely, but the oddity seemed to be a fitting stamp for the cave.

Duvde stared at the cave with a strange feeling.

"It's weird…"

Leana turned towards Duvde who seemed to be thinking hard.

"What's wrong?"

"Previously being here was supposed to be a huge labyrinth but why are there caves here now?"

"You mean this isn't the location?"

"It's not so, madam. This place is the true location of the great labyrinth because Duvde was the first to find it." Helt.

Helt walked to the area next to the mouth of the cave and pulled out an object that was a marker that the location was a true magic labyrinth.

"Before the cave we found was indeed fused with the cliff wall but now..." Piria.

"Now the shape of the labyrinth itself no longer exists." continued Cassen.

As if something had swallowed it.

Leana looked at me and with courage, she entered the cave.

He used a magic tool that functions like a flashlight to illuminate the darkened room as they enter the cave.

Before long, they found a door with various symbols and carvings. In the center was a symbol he knew.

Carefully, he grabbed the symbol and then the door opened with a loud voice echoing in the cave.

In it, one by one light appeared, not only to illuminate the contents of the labyrinth but as if trying to lead them somewhere.

Doubts form in Leana's heart but she must immediately find the labyrinth guard she trusts as the key to stopping the war with the monsters.

Leana turned her head towards the shadow of Alphiella for a moment before finally walking following the light.

They continued walking and slowly climbed up the stairs after the stairs, trying to climb into an area they did not know about.

After a while, they found a large enough empty space and decided to take a break.

Leana who tried to check the contents of the room found the same symbol as before.

He grabbed and touched the symbol and soon light appeared under Leana's feet.

"Mrs Leana!!"

Before the shadow of Alphiella could reach Leana, it had already disappeared along with the light and symbol.
