The labyrinth of ten thousand roads.
It was the name for the five labyrinths occupying floors 41 to 45.
The last 45th floor of the labyrinth is a bit unusual, so we’ll leave it as an exception, and the other four labyrinths are made up of the four elements of ‘earth, water, fire, and wind.’
Among them, the 41st floor labyrinth is the labyrinth of the earth.
The entire labyrinth was made of dirt and rocks.
“Dig.”
Crispy-
As soon as he arrived at the labyrinth, Seun used magic on the wall right next to him.
A wall that is dug in so narrowly that it’s embarrassing to say that magic was used.
It was a magic that was used with 1m in mind, but it was only this much.
‘1/10 of the set depth. Magic resistance is roughly like this.’
The terrain of the labyrinth has magic resistance.
Because of this, it was nearly impossible to change the terrain at will, but on the other hand, thanks to this, there was no need to worry about the labyrinth collapsing even if you used magic and other attacks as much as you wanted.
Next is the physical resistance test.
– The third skill of the Pearl Sword, Flying Night Shaman, is strengthened through internal energy.
Se-Woon’s fist, dyed blue, struck the wall.
The fist used with a strength value of over 300 displayed a power that players who normally reach the 41st floor could never display.
I felt a strong recoil from my fist, but I ignored the recoil and put strength into my fist.
‘Physical resistance is worse than magical resistance.’
When Se-Woon took his fist away, a clear fist mark remained on the wall.
It looked like the blow had worked, but if it was a fairly large wall, it would have collapsed with just one punch. However, the wall only left a shallow punch mark.
If the wall material had been stone or rock, it might have been different, but the wall, which was made of a tightly packed layer of dirt of unknown thickness, absorbed a large amount of the shock.
[Hanareum: I just screamed really loudly. Did anyone hear that?]
[ Han Da-un: I want to scream too! ]
[ Kang Han-cheol: This wall… … won’t break. ]
I had a feeling it might be, but of course, they all fell in different locations.
If I had not known about the ordeal, I would have mistaken it for a personal ordeal.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, nods its beak, saying that this would certainly be a suitable place for the sloth to sleep.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, flicks its tongue, saying that there is no smell of sleepiness here.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, lies down, breathless.
‘hmm?’
Mammon and Leviathan aside, Beelzebub’s message, which had been ignored until now, stood out in particular.
Well, this time I stayed at the shelter for an especially long time, so it’s like they didn’t provide me with proper meals for several months.
‘I need to feed him something quickly.’
The good news is that there are quite a few monsters in the labyrinth.
While most players avoid monsters as much as possible to conserve energy, Seun did the opposite.
‘No, there’s no need to go there yourself.’
Se-Woon, who was standing in front of a suitable fork in the road, turned the circle.
– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Noise amplification ]
– A magic invented for war in the Green Tower that tears the wind apart and creates a noise so loud it can damage eardrums.
Rather than bothering to go looking for them, it is much easier to have the other person come to you directly.
As soon as he cast his spell, Seun swung his sword at the rock embedded in the wall.
Then, a noise occurred as the sword and the rock collided.
Wow! Wow!
It began to expand and spread in all directions like the noise of a broken speaker.
Noise amplification.
As the name suggests, noise amplification, it was a magic that simply generated noise.
Its original purpose was to be a large-scale magic that could damage the hearing of enemy troops or cause confusion during wartime, but Seun used it simply to create noise.
But, that alone is enough.
“Kieee-”
“Grrrrr-”
It was enough to summon the monsters that spread throughout the labyrinth.
* * *
Se-Woon’s prediction was right.
As soon as the noise spread, monsters swarmed from all the forks in the road.
Naturally, these common monsters were no match for Seun.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ bites the thigh of a Kobold Warrior.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, breaks the shell of the Iron Crab.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, swallows the Stone Worm.
– The constellation, the ‘hungry prince’s’ belly skin begins to rise.
All monsters became prey to Beelzebub as soon as they appeared.
– Predated on ‘Stone Worm’.
– Absorbs nutrients and increases stamina by 0.1.
… … .
Naturally, the amount of ability value that increases is extremely small.

However, the power of gluttony could not be ignored.
The power of full stomach that Beelzebub had given me when I tried to break the meteorite in the 30th floor trial.
That meant that the power of gluttony wasn’t limited to simply increasing abilities through gluttony.
‘I need to start seriously attacking the trials now.’
Breaking through the labyrinth isn’t that difficult. No, to be precise, it’s not that difficult ‘for Seun’.
Because Se-Woon had already used the guide map to get through all the mazes before returning.
Of course, there was no guidebook for the journey at the time, and the labyrinth’s structure changed as time passed, so it was impossible to run straight to the 42nd floor.
Still, at least I was confident that I wouldn’t wander around like everyone else.
‘But, the problem is this.’
Seun took out a blue scroll from his subspace pocket.
It was a scroll containing the location of Belphegor, which had been obtained as a reward from the management office.
– Wow, this can be used as a lid. You have to tightly seal it so that it’s well soundproofed. Then, no one will be able to open it.
Of course, it wasn’t a map.
Due to the nature of the labyrinth, which changes structure over time, it is impossible to create a map.
However, even so, the text written on the scroll was almost like a riddle… … a diary.
‘This was Belphegor’s last move as determined by the management office.’
How on earth did you get your hands on a diary like this… … .
No, before that, I also wondered why the constellation called the Laziness Machine kept a diary.
If anything, the first paragraph written here was about the labyrinth of the land Seun is currently on.
‘Lid…….’
If it were a riddle, I would have tried to deduce it using my experiences before the regression… … This is a diary that seems to have been roughly written down as I thought, so it is too difficult to interpret.
– The constellation ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ advises that the sloth should be intuitively interpreted as originally being thoughtless.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, bows his head, saying that it would be difficult for him to find the scent or interpret the diary.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, pats his full belly contentedly after a long time.
‘It’s intuitive… … .’
Roughly speaking, there are three hints.
The first is a wall fixed in one place so that the meaning of the lid can be performed.
The second is a wall that perfectly absorbs sound, as mentioned in the soundproofing.
The third is a wall so strong that you are confident no one can open it.
We had to find a wall that met these three conditions.
How to do that?
‘Shall we follow Mammon’s words?’
Intuitively simple, yet bold.
After Beelzebub finished his meal, he took out the Durandal that had been set up in the empty hallway.

“Another one comes out from behind!”
“Damn, why are there so many!”
“It looks like they keep coming from that passage!”
The labyrinth of the earth.
Inside, four players were fending off monsters.
Of course, they don’t know each other.
Even if they were from the same clan or guild, it was nearly impossible to meet again in this vast labyrinth.
It was just a hastily formed party of players meeting for the first time to survive.
“But isn’t it worth doing?”
“It was a stroke of genius to come equipped.”
“If it weren’t for this, I would have already given up and run away.”
The players smiled happily as they each stroked their confident equipment.
Magic equipment purchased from Jeheton.
Basic magic such as Sharpness, and attribute magic such as Fire Ball or Ice Ball.
Although their equipment contained only 1-2 circle magic, their fighting power was greatly enhanced by that alone.
It was immediately noticeable when I was fighting monsters.
“That aside, isn’t that too much?”
“How about we avoid it for now? That passageway looks suspicious.”
“Isn’t it a little strange? As if it’s running away… … .”
The players looked down a passageway.
Although they were somehow holding it back, a suspiciously large number of monsters were jumping out from one passageway.
Monsters have an attack instinct by default, but the monsters that came out of that passage were different.
He ran in the opposite direction without even looking at the players, as if he was running away from something.
at that time.
Kang! Kagang! Gagagagak!
Kugugugugu-
An unidentified loud noise began to be heard from the passageway I was watching.
Sharp metallic sounds, dull thumping sounds, and even sounds like something burning and exploding.
– Awww!
Even the roar of a wild beast could be heard.
“Damn it! It’s a boss monster! It’s obvious!”
“Why here… … And don’t boss monsters usually move from place to place?”
“There are surprises everywhere! Let’s run away quickly!”
“Well, I was dealing with it because it was just a trash mob. If we encounter a boss monster in this narrow place, we’ll all be wiped out!”
Survival tips learned while climbing a tower.
It’s about quickly predicting your opponent’s and your own fighting power, and if you feel like you can’t win, running away as quickly as possible.
There is no need to gamble with your life.
“Look behind you, look behind you!”
“Why are those guys blocking the road!”
The party tried to run away, but monsters were blocking their way, swaying behind them.
Why are those guys who were running away in a hurry just now acting like that?
That question was soon answered.
Because a monster appeared from the shadows of the opposite passage.
“Muuuuu-”
“Uh, Minotaur?”
Minotaur.
It was a semi-boss level monster that existed in the labyrinth.
Although it is not a boss monster, it is a vicious monster that reigns as the manager of a vast labyrinth.
“Damn, what the… … .”
The Minotaur appears on the only escape route.
Even though I had a return ticket, using it in this deadlocked battle situation was tantamount to suicide.
How did this misfortune happen?
I thought I could overcome any ordeal until I purchased my magic equipment… … .
And then.
Boom!
The identity of the loud noise was revealed along with the thick dust.
The identity is this.
“……person?”
It was a person.
Right next to me was a wolf the size of a house, following me, and as the dust settled I could see the wall that had been mangled to pieces.
While the four players were confused and floundering, the one who came out of the passage headed towards the Minotaur with the wolf.
“Okay, wait a minute! Be careful!”
Are you crazy enough to rush at the Minotaur alone?
I ran after him to help him out, even if it meant throwing a tantrum.
“radish-”
Crunch.
The Minotaur’s neck fell down with a clean, cutting sound.
Immediately the wolf jumped into the pack of monsters and slaughtered them like a wolf infiltrating a flock of sheep.
In just a few seconds, all the monsters blocking the passage were defeated.
“uh……?”
All four players were motionless in their seats, dumbfounded.
The first person to come to his senses stepped forward to at least say thank you.
Boom, bang!!
The person who came out of the passage simply attacked the wall without thinking and moved forward.
Yes.
What Seun chose to find Belphegor’s hints was… … .
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with the Head Down’, shakes his head, saying that his advice was to look ‘intuitively’, not to act ‘ignorantly’.
The third hint that I interpreted in my own way.
It was a matter of striking at any wall that came into sight in order to find a wall that was as strong as they were confident that no one could open it.
