Chapter 102 The Great Labyrinth
Separating from Leaf, the witch Mercury and the Demon Lord Vandesdelka are taking different actions.
The Demon Lord summons a devil.
One devil, like an owl, named Stolas.
"Stolas, I want to know the internal structure of this building."
Stolas nods in agreement.
Spreading its wings, from one feather, a single owl splits off.
One after another, owl doppelgangers are created and scatter around.
"Stolas is skilled at exploring the surroundings. It splits into many to scout the area and then consolidates the information to the original one."
"...Isn't this a bit too much?"
From Stolas's wings, an absurd number of owl clones are being generated, making it pointless to count.
"Is that so?"
"...Why are there only oblivious guys around me? Ugh... my head hurts."
At times like this, Leaf's headache medicine (Elixir) was longed for.
After a while, the owl nodded.
"Finished exploring the area."
"It took quite a while, huh?"
"Yeah... Stolas, show the surrounding map."
The owl's eyes suddenly open wide.
Light emits from its eyes, projecting a map in the air.
"The map of the area, w-wait, what is this!?"
"This is... unexpected."
A shrunken three-dimensional map is displayed.
Even so, it was vast.
At the top, there is a miniature of the ruins where Mercury and the others first entered.
Hundreds of passages are intricately woven beneath the capital city, forming a single dungeon.
"...The entire capital city... or even beyond the capital city, the dungeon continues."
"Did it occur naturally?"
"I've never heard of such a thing. A dungeon appearing within a city..."
Dungeons and monsters do not appear in places where humans reside.
In ancient times, it was always like that. However, there was still no scientific evidence, and it was believed to be so since ancient times.
...However.
"Did it irregularly occur, or did someone create a vast dungeon underground in the capital city?"
"Someone... like an evil god?"
"...I don't know. But this is not something the two of us can handle alone. Let's go back to the Guild Master..."
At that moment.
Thud! A sound of something rushing towards them was heard.
Stolas spread its wings wide.
"Something is coming!"
"What do you mean by something!?"
"I don't know, but it's dangerous!"
Vandesdelka grabbed Stolas's leg tightly.
"Let's run! Don't get caught!"
The Demon Lord pulled Mercury's hand. The devil spread its wings and took everyone away from that place.
