Chapter 61.2 : Evil God Labrys

WARNING : THIS CHAPTER MIGHT CAUSE SYMPTONS OF BRAINDED!!!

「Did we beat him!?」

Reiji looked towards Labrys.

But, Labrys rose again, as though nothing had happened to him.

In the next moment, Labrys’ shield shone.

It seems that the shield was able to reduce Reiji’s destructive power by half.

「Gugugu… not bad, Hero of Light. But, this level of attack is only on the level of tickling my skin!!! LABYRINTH, GIVE ME POWER!!」

The entire room was enveloped by a flash of blinding light, which then gathered around Labrys.

This feeling was similar to the battle against golem on the 4th floor.

This might be Labrys’ means to heal himself.

「I won’t lose as long as this labyrinth exists. You cretins can’t defeat me.」

Labrys roared as he laughed at us.

「This is bas–!! Let’s retreat, Reiji-kun!!」

I screamed at Reiji.

「Understood!! Everyone, regroup!!」

Everyone regrouped at once.

And then, I sang the aria of my spell.

「NO WAY!? IT DOESN’T WORK!!」

I was extremely surprised by this fact.

We couldn’t use teleportation.

「My bad, teleportation is sealed starting from the 11th floor and below. You can’t run from me anymore.」

Labrys was smiling delightfully seeing our panicked faces.

「This is bad, we’re…」

Nao didn’t need to finish her sentence, I knew she wanted to say “We’re screwed”.

◆Goddess of Wisdom and Victory; Rena

The Valkyries and I were waiting on top of Labrys’ labyrinth to welcome Reiji and co’s (supposed) return to the surface.

「Are you okay, Rena-sama? Reiji and co are…」

Nier shot a worried look towards the ground while standing atop my warship.

「What are you worrying about, Nier?」

「N-NO! I’M NOT WORRYING AT ALL!!」

Nier replied with a flustered voice.

Nier’s innocent gestures and demeanor made her an easy prey for any sc*mbag.

「It’s okay Nier. He(Kuroki) is strong, no one can defeat him.」

Nier looked at me upon hearing my confident remark.

「You really trust him(Reiji) isn’t it, Rena-sama.」

For some reason, Nier’s face became gloomy when she spoke those words.

「Of course, he(Kuroki) is my knight after all.」

My knight, Kuroki, was currently infiltrating this labyrinth. That’s why, there was no reason to worry.

But, Nier was most likely misunderstanding something.

The other Valkyries were also looking down with worry.

Should I make myself look like I’m worried like the others as well?

I went towards the Valkyiries who were looking down in worry.

「Cease your worry, everyone. Reiji will be okay.」

The Valkyries smiled upon hearing my remark.

Did that reassure them?

「Please return as soon as possible… that girl is coming to get you.」

I muttered those words while looking at the direction where that girl, Kuna, was coming from.

◆Silver Witch; Kuna

「Just a bit more and we’ll arrive at Kuroki’s location, Glorious.」

I rode on the back of the Demon Dragon, Glorious.

The ring on my left hand told me about Kuroki’s position.

I’ve already reached my limit; I’m suffering from a serious deficiency of Kuroki.

Obviously, I had to ride Glorious, flying here all the way from Nargol, to meet him again.

「Wait for Kuna, Kuroki.」

◆Black Haired Sage; Chiyuki

「I’m almost at my limit, Chiyuki-san.」

Rino spoke to me with a weary look on her face.

Even the lively Rino was extremely exhausted. Her cute face was a mess right now.

Maybe it was supposed to be more difficult for anyone but Labrys to be able to use magic within this labyrinth. I mean, the consumption rate of my mana had far exceeded my predictions. Even Sahoko had exhausted herself after chanting both defensive and healing spells so many times at this point.

Currently, the only one who was least affected by this situation was Reiji.

Reiji was currently fighting head on against Labrys. But, it was only a matter of time till he exhausted his stamina too.

Labrys, on the other hand, could theoretically fight forever thanks to the power of this labyrinth.

It was the worst possible situation.

But, we mustn’t give up. We had to continue to fight back alongside Reiji.

「Stand up, Rino-san. Sahoko-san… we must assist Reiji-kun.」

I propped my body up to stand.

I will fight till the end.

Reiji and Labrys’ fierce combat unfolded again in front of me.

Reiji hadn’t given up yet.

He was one to fight regardless of any disadvantage and at the last moment, he would turn the table against his opponents. [TL : IN YOUR DREAM.]

That’s why I mustn’t give up.

Both Rino and Sahoko also propped themselves up.

「W-W-WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!? HOW CAN YOU STILL FIGHT IN THIS SITUATION!!?」

Labrys screamed at us in frustration.

To be honest, he spoke too many lines for a boss.

「HUMPH, YOU CAN’T STOP US!!!」

Reiji flashed a refreshing smile as he readied his two swords.

Labrys becamse increasingly irritated upon seeing him prepare for another clash.

「SUIT YOURSELF THEN!! I ACTUALLY RATHER RELUCTANT TO USE THIS MOVE BUT, ALL OF YOU CRETIN MIGHT BE AS WELL DISAPPEAR ALTOGETHER!!!」

Labrys’ body suddenly turned red.

「No way, he was just playing around until now!!!」

Nao voiced her surprise.

Even I couldn’t believe it. Did he still have an ace in the hole?

「O FLAME OF MOROK DWELLING IN MY BODY!! REDUCE EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM TO ASHES!!」

Labrys’ body was wrapped in blazing flames as soon as he finished his chant.

Within the next moment, the flame exploded outwards, burning everything in this room.

「O LIGHT!!!」

Sahoko used every last bit of her mana and deployed a defensive spell.

That light wrapped our body, protecting us from the blazing flame.

「THANKS, SAHOKO-SAN!!」

I looked at Sahoko’s direction.

Sahoko replied with a frail smile on her face.

It seems she’d exhausted herself from using this magic.

「KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」

「NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!」

Various desperate screams of pain resounded from behind Labrys.

It seems that his flames had also attacked the women behind Labrys.

They tried to escape, only to become human torches till they were burnt black beyond recognition.

「DEAR!! WHY ARE YOU KILLING YOUR WOMEN TOO!!?」

「HUMPH!! KNOW YOUR PLACE, YOU LOWLY S*W!!! I JUST NEED TO FIND NEW ONES!!」

Labrys replied with a bored face.

「YOU BAST*AAAARD!!!」[TL : YOU TOO!!!]

I shouted at Labrys.

Unforgivable.

「EURIA!!!」

Reiji was running in a hurry toward Euria’s position.

He was barely able to save Euria from the flames by a hair’s breadth.

Reiji came back towards us while holding Euria in his embrace.

「Why did you save me, Reiji-sama? I’m an evil woman who tricked you.」

Euria looked at Reiji with a puzzled look on her face.

「Don’t worry about it, Euria. I never abandon my woman.」[TL : WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU ALMOST LEFT CHIYUKI AND NAO DEAD IN ROC KINGDOM? D*CK HEAD!!]

Reiji flashed his usual refreshing smile.

「Reiji-sama…」

Euria looked at Reiji with tears overflowing from her eyes.

I glared at Reiji upon seeing those.

I don’t mind that he wanted to save her but, you should at least worry about Sahoko whose burden has now only increased with another person to protect now.

Are you even aware of that? [TL : No, his brain is trapped in his d*ck after all]

「My Morok Flame won’t cease to burn as long as I have mana. Let see how long you can survive under this kind of situation.」

Labrys came at us again.

Reiji faced off against Labrys again after setting Euria’s down.

I tried to invoke ice magic to counter the blistering heat, but my magic wouldn’t invoke no matter how hard I tried.

I glanced towards Rino. It seems she can’t use her spirit magic either.

The reason behind that was most likely the Morok Flame. [TL : I’m tempted to change “Morok Flame” to “Moron Flame”]

Through this, Labrys had literally blocked everyone but Reiji’s combat powers.

「No one can protect you anymore, Hero!!」

「So what!! I alone am enough to kick your a*s!!」

Their battle began anew.

The rest of us couldn’t do anything but be forced into being passive onlookers of their battle.

I felt really frustrated at seeing our current situation.

「HOW!! HOW CAN YOU STILL FIGHT!! HOW CAN YOU STILL FIGHT IN THIS KIND OF HOPELESS SITUATION!!」

「MY WOMEN ARE RIGHT BEHIND ME!!! LIKE H*LL I’M GONNA LET THEM SEE AN UNCOOL SIDE OF ME!!」

「THEN THOSE WOMEN OF YOURS WILL DIE FIRST!!!」

Labrys pretended to look at Reiji as he dashed toward us.

「EVERYONE SPREAD OUT!!」

Every one of us spread out in different directions upon hearing my command.

The most I was worried about was Sahoko, but, seeing her escaping along with Nao to a safe location, I heaved a sigh in relief.

「NO~~~~~! DADD~~~~~Y!!!」

Euria screamed to the top of her lungs.

Labrys was clearly aiming for Euria.

「YOU B*STAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!」

Reiji sprinted at unbelieveable speed and arrived in the nick of time in front of Euria to protect her from Labrys’ flame.

Euria’s legs turned jello as she fell on her butt. Honestly, she was only a hindrance.

Reiji became a target for Labrys’ attack since that useless Euria couldn’t move at all from her spot.

Though Reiji could fend off Labrys’ attack with his two swords, his situation turned for the worse.

「UWAAAAAA!」

One of Reiji’s swords broke, and he was blown back along with Euria.

「Reiji-kun!!!」

I squeezed every single bit of my mana and fired mana bullets at Labrys.

I have to distract Labrys away from Reiji.

So, I kept firing mana bullets at Labrys.

「YOU B*TCH!! I’LL KILL YOU FIRST!!」

Labrys’ attention finally shifted from Reiji.

Now I just need to keep moving.

「… Eh?」

I fell back to the floor when I tried to stand up. I… couldn’t move my body.

「Mana… exhaustion.」

I couldn’t gather mana in my body.

Even my legs refused to move.

「Chiyuki-san!!!」

Though I could see Nao sprinting as fast as she could in my direction, the distance between us was simply too large. She won’t make it in time.

Labrys was already swinging down his tomahawk.

I saw the tomahawk approach me in the world of slow motion.

What this… the end of me?

Tears welled up in my eyes as I faced my end.

Someone, please save me.

I couldn’t help but ask for someone to save me.

I instinctively closed my eyes.

「MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!」

Suddenly, Labrys let out a pained scream.

His tomahawk had missed its target.

When I opened my eyes, someone wearing black clothing stood before me.

I caught the sight of Labrys thrown quite far away from me.

It seems my savior hit Labrys with his full power.

「Are you okay?」

The man in black clothes asked me.

I’ve heard this same voice before. It was the same voice of that person who saved my life back in Rox kingdom.

He turned around, and looked at me.

「You are…」

What was this person doing in this place?

Why did he save me?

My train of thought was frozen in that very moment.

「Please get back, leave the rest to me.」

His body then wrapped itself in a black flame.

When the black flame dissipated, his figure was replaced with the Dark Knight donned in jet black armor.

Then I noticed.

The one who saved me back in Rox kingdom was him, the Dark Knight.
