Chapter 43-The Lord of the Labyrinth and their battles

 

(TL:By Rafael)

 

 

 

We carefully, but quickly, run past the senior party as they begin the battle.

 

 Since they had been entrusted with holding them back, we had to quickly complete our task.

 

 

 

 The one who moves most quickly and leads the way is Nene.

 

 She has applied to herself a unique "ninja" magic called kuusemi no jutsu.

 

 Effectively, it is the same as the "kuusemi phantom blink shadow" used by red mages like me, and it is a magic that guarantees one's own safety.

 

 

 

"Will he let us run through like this?"(Nene)

 

"I done think he will!"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 King Vordan had merely laughed at us while we were dealing with "Full Bound," but now his malice and harmful intent were clear, and his crescent-twisted mouth was unleashed with enough pressure pressure to keep us on our toes and nervous.

 

 

 

 Marina, sensing the presence of the black sword, held it in her right eye with full intent to kill.

 

 

 

"Move aside, King."(Marina)

 

"...... ......"(King)

 

 

 

 I cannot make out the whispered words, but apparently our words are understood.

 

 And although I could not understand the words, I knew by the atmosphere that the reply was "no.

 

 King Vordan stood up with a smooth, slick motion and held up a spear with a sharp tip.

 

 

 

 I knew firsthand that this was no ordinary thing, and I clucked my tongue in my heart.

 

 I had failed in understanding the situation.

 

 We thought that Lucent and the others had stopped "Full Bound" in its tracks, but the situation was the opposite.

 

 He was able to use "Full Bound" to stall two A-ranked parties.

 

(TL: 200 IQ play by the king)

 

 This "king" who sits on a throne at the far end of the ...... labyrinth dungeon is probably the dungeon master of the labyrinth and his power is unknown, but it cannot be underestimated.

 

 

 

 Although we have been through our fair share of rough patches, we "Clover" are still an inexperienced C-rank party  and we are not strong enough to deal with this.

 

 

 

"Yuki-san, we will be  fine."(Silk)

 

"Please believe in us and yourself"(Rain)

 

 

 

 Silk and Rain, with their faces turned to King Vordan, mouth their words to me impatiently.

 

 

 

"I know we're inexperienced and we may be dragging Yuki down ......! But I'm sorry. I can't retreat here!"(Marina)

 

 

 

 Marina roars with the mana of a "mage," filled with the killing intent characteristic of a "mage."

 

 

 

 Sigh....I was wrong about those girls again.

 

 I'm still not a leader to make them say such things.

 

 I let out a small breath as I pull from my waist a blue rapier and a short sword of silver mithril.

 

 

 

"As long as you don't do anything reckless, it's fine. Leave the support to me."

 

"Thanks, Yuki! Love you! Okay, here we go: ......!"(Marina)

 

 

 

 Marina steps into the king as he scuttles away from the scene.

 

 There is no time to be surprised at how fast she is.

 

 She casts a "Special Sword Critical Weapon" spell to make the tip of her sword even sharper.

 

 

 

 A metallic sound echoes in his ears, and Marina takes a step back.

 

 

 

'Kukku......!(Marina)

 

 

 

 I can't believe that Marina, with my grant on her, is losing power head-on.

 

 In the blink of an eye, I switch my disbelief to my next move.

 

 In other words, my other specialty ...... is weak or debuff magic.

 

 

 

"Paralyze, Slow Slow Slow, Blinding Blindness, Venom, Tear Collapse, Gravity!"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 Weakness magic that had been placed on activation standby stock for an unchanted quick cast is released in rapid succession.

 

 I feel a strange response and resistance, but I am not completely resist-resisted.

 

 In any case, I did some small, fine work as a small guy.

 

 

 

"Yuki, that's ......!"(Rain)

 

"It's all right. It won't last that long, fold it up!"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 Blood drips from the bruise on my cheek.

 

 Rain sees this and sounds concerned, but I've already seen this coming.

 

 I'm a bit nervous about borrowing the power of the "Pale Immortal King," but the dark curses and blessings bestowed on ...... me are well suited to my power.

 

 However, the burden seems to be too much.

 

"Marina! Move to right!"(Silk)

 

"Yes!"(Marina)

 

 

 

 Marina steps gallantly according to Silk.

 

 Silk shares Biblion's prediction with the spirit of the wind as she strikes a series of arrows into the line of fire that passes by.

 

 

 

'Mmmm ......'(King)

 

 

 

 King Vordan's sharp spear strike flails past Marina.

 

 It is more lackluster than before, perhaps a sign that the weakening magic is working, but there is still a bit of a gap for Marina to go on the offensive.

 

 

 

"Marina, I'll make a gap!"(Nene)

 

 

 

 Nene, who saw the current situation with the weakening magic as an opportunity, struck a series of sharp blows that could not be considered a check ...... or even a shuriken, and struck three blows in a row at King Vordan.

 

 

 

"Not yet!"(Nene)

 

 

 

 Nene jumps back and activates her "fire fugue no jutsu" (fire fugue technique).

 

 The sudden magical attack causes even King Vordan to show a momentary lapse.

 

 

 

"...... it's time to end this....."(Marina)

 

 

 

 Marina did not miss that opportunity.

 

 Marina stepped sharply to King Vordan's right side, which was completely distracted and empty, and became a line of wind clad in black.

 

 

 

"...... ......! ......ッ"(King)

 

 

 

 King Vordan, his torso torn wide open, writhes and lets out a shrieking whisper.

 

 The same red blood gushed out from the wound and stained the floor as ours, but Marina and the others were no longer fazed by this.

 

 

 

"I'm going to finish him off."(Rain)

 

 

 

 Marina and Nene, who were on either side of King Vordan, jumped back in response to Rain's voice.

 

 I wonder if the master of the labyrinth realized that everything up to this point had been a check to distract him from Rain?

 

 

 

 It's too late for that, though.

 

 Rain's chanting, whispered in a quiet voice, was completed, and a complex and multiple magic formula was projected into the air.

 

 I am a red mage, and even most magicians cannot reach the seventh rung of the ladder.

 

 It is now under Rain's control.

 

 

 

 Rain, holding up his staff, looks at the mad king and tells him the name of the magic.

 

 

 

"True Flame Flare."(Rain)

 

 

 

 The next moment, King Vordan was swallowed by a miniature sun.
