We stepped in a brand new room. There was no monster here and it was well lit except there was a conspicuous door in the middle.
"Were finally here, the 100th floor of the lower section of the labyrinth!"
"Ohh~!"
I grinned at the thought. I have been in this labyrinth for over a month and I can finally get out. I just need to kill that thing later and we're good.
"Let's go, Liz!"
I turned to my companion and we both grinned. Together, we opened the door leading to the true final challenge.
What we saw on the other side of the door was a spacious room with large pillars supporting the roof adorned with lighting crystals that brightens up the room.
*Crackle!* *Crackle!*
*Bzzzzzt* *Bzzzzzzt*
It was then that we heard the crackling of black lightning that suddenly appeared alongside allowing magic circle.
"A summoning circle...?!"
As expected of a powerful mage, she knows what the magic circle was with just a glance.
And from that magic circle came a huge shadowy figure that materialized into something straight out of mythology.
"Liz, focus on restraining it and defending." I turned to her and said.
"Okay!"
I'm confident we can win this without much risk, primarily because I calculated our chances with my skill. But it's the hydra based on my memory, not this one, so we still needs precautions which was why I had her focus on restraining and defending.
*Graaaahhhhhh!*
Liz immediately put up multilayered barriers to block the incoming breath attack. When the attack dispersed, I amped up my mana in my body for reinforcement.
"Liz, restrain it!" I said as I jumped mid air towards the enemy.
"Got it! Frozen World!"
As soon as her words fell, the rooms temperature dropped rapidly and the hydra's whole body was frozen solid like a glacier.
"Nice one!"
I gave her a quick thumbs up before I started my analysis of its internal structure. And then came what I was waiting for.
[Transmutation!]
My mana flared up and covered the hydra's whole body. And then the magic happened, I saw the hydra's body slowly turn into specs of crimson dust.
I grinned happily, I succeeded! I managed to transmute a physical things into mana. We tested it with Liz's spells and it was a success, I can also transmute spells into mana.
However, transmuting a physical thing into mana wasn't tested quite yet. Well, that was just my stupid self actually. I could've tested it first with the dinosaurs but where's the fun into that.
We were fully confident in defeating the hydra without much difficulty so I had some leeways for fun little tests.
"We finally cleared it!"
"Yes! We can finally go out!"
We both celebrated happily. All our hardwork finally paid off. Though the final battle ended anti climactic, it was nonetheless a happy occasion.
It was then that another magic circle appeared underneath and teleported us into a new room. The room was smaller than the last one and ahead of us was a skeleton sitting in a throne.
I looked at Liz and she as well, we both step forward to the skeleton. A magic circle once again lit up, just how many magic circles are there. From this magic circle, we were given many information but the most important to me was the lost art of creation magic. I finally got one of the seven ancient magics!
After this, we were given other rewards in the form of a ring and Oscar's treasures. We didn't stay in the labyrinth for too long since we didn't really get injured.
As soon as we stored the treasures Oscar left behind, we went out the labyrinth via a secret exit only accessible to those that cleared the labyrinth.
"Yeahhhh!"
"We're finally out~"
When I looked around only arid and dry land can be seen. From here on out, I don't know everything. I only read up to the part where Hajime met Shea. Also from the anime, I just watched clips so I don't really know much.
As for why I knew about the ancient magics, I was curious and read the wiki section about it. Well I did read some other things too but I doubt that will help much.
Now then, will we still meet Shea? I mean we got out the labyrinth faster this time.
I know we're in Reisen Gorge and there's a labyrinth here but how do we get there? For now, we should try getting out of here first.
I took out a futuristic looking humvee.
"Hop on"
....
As I drove, many monsters approached the humvee but Liz took care of them. However, it was then that we saw a dust of smoke coming from the horizon.
"Is it her?" I muttered.
If it's Shea, I can ask her as a guide, hopefully.
Not long after, I finally saw a girl with long pale-blue hair and azure eyes. She's very beautiful and boasting a large chest, totally my type.
"Hehe~" I chuckled softly then I felt a light hit on my waist. I turned and saw a pouting Liz, very cute, 10/10.
"We finally have our guide, Liz."
Actually, I've already noticed her feelings for me. It's just that, I'm not quite sure of how I feel for her. Yeah, she's attractive to me and we've gone through various life and death journey.
I consider her important to me too but I don't think it has reached that level yet. The thing about her and Hajime in the source material was that, both were betrayed and that was probably why both became a couple so fast.
They bonded over the fact that both of them experienced betrayal and they considered each other a bastion for each other. This was evident in many instances. However, that is not how it is for me.
My feelings for her might change soon but for now, it's still not there yet. Also, I'm not even sure if fate will follow the original route with multiple partners, yeah read that from the wiki too.
I mean who knows, personally I like harems. Having the affection of multiple women is kinda flattering, you know. Those that says they don't like harem are either hypocrites or truly believe that only one women are for them, no in between except if they don't like women at all.
However, I also know how hard it is to truly build a harem, either way it's okay to dream right? It's not like I absolutely want it to happen, my goal first and foremost is to go back home. In this regard, Hajime and I are similar except my home is so much far away than his. At least his home is in the same multiverse.
Anyway, enough of that talk. I focused on the big double headed tyrannosaurus look alike chasing that bunny girl.
"Uwaaahhhh! Please help me—!"
Without replying, I immediately attacked. The ground beneath the monster rose and became spikes, impaling it. I also stopped the humvee and got out.
Looking at her close up, it really amazed me of the beauty level of this world. These girls would surely put supermodels to shame, like they're beauty is truly otherworldly, get it? No? Okay.
"Uwaah! Thank you so much for saving me~!"
The bunny girl threw herself at me and wrapped her arms around my waist while bawling out.
"Huhu~" I can feel two soft things pressing against me.
"Mmph~"
I turned to see Liz pouting before alternating her gaze to her chest and the bunny girl's chest before tapping hers with her hands and becoming depressed.
Don't worry Liz, as they say, small is justice, medium is premium, and big is truth. However, all size makes the wood rise, and all boobs hold men's dreams.
I gave Liz a thumbs up before forcefully separating the bunny to me. It was harder than I thought with her clamping on me tightly, bad phrasing but anyway I finally got her off me.
"So, can you tell us who you are and what're you doing here?"
"Mm?" The bunny girl wiped of her tears and introduced herself.
"I am Shea Haulia of the Haulia Tribe."
We finally met, our tour guide!
