– Welcome to the 45th floor trials.
– Topic: Labyrinth of Sloth
– You have arrived at the hidden end of the legendary ‘Labyrinth of Ten Thousand Roads’.
– Get acknowledgement from the current master of the labyrinth.
The moment you pass through the passage with the devil, the 45th floor trial naturally begins.
The Labyrinth of Sloth.
Naturally, it was a different place from the end of the labyrinth that Seun had reached before returning.
‘The labyrinth’s 45 floors of trials change depending on which path you choose.’
The final labyrinth has different objectives depending on the type of labyrinth.
There were a variety of objectives, from defeating boss monsters to finding treasures and destroying objectives.
In Seun’s case before returning, he obtained the Kukri after fighting a pack of wolves in a jungle-covered labyrinth.
Although its attack power isn’t that high, I remember using it until the end because it was so useful.
‘If there’s a master of the labyrinth, it would have to be Belphegor.’
What is certain is that we have arrived at our destination, Belphegor’s Shelter.
I was worried about finding and interpreting that difficult diary, but I feel a little relieved when I get here.
“Let me introduce myself. I am ‘McQuincy,’ the first servant and butler who follows the Demon Lord, and the Great Dream Demon of the Demon World.”
“Jeong Se-woon.”
“That’s short.”
“Since you attacked first, should I at least use polite language?”
“I don’t care… … but if you continue to show that kind of attitude toward the Demon Lord, I will personally throw you into an eternal nightmare.”
Se-Woon just walked forward without answering.
Even if I didn’t say it like that, I didn’t intend to say anything in front of Masin.
Even though Beelzebub seemed immature and young, Seun always used polite language to him.
Crunch.
As soon as I got down the stairs, McQuincy opened the door.
I wonder how much attention was paid to noise, because even when that big door opens, there is no friction sound at all.
“From here on out, be careful where you walk. Don’t make any noise, be careful. Be aware of your surroundings. Noise that disturbs sleep is unacceptable.”
McQuincy glared at Se-un with a murderous look.
In fact, the moment I opened the door, not only did I not feel any movement in his footsteps, but I even felt like my heartbeat had slowed down.
It was a difficult order to reduce even the sound of footsteps, but Seun had no worries. Seun, who had already trained his stealth skills to the limit, did not make any noise from his footsteps.
“… … I like your footsteps.”
The shelter was larger than I thought.
Thanks to this, Se-Woon was able to leisurely look around while walking.
‘It really was all connected here.’
The walls on all sides were made of earthen walls like those of a labyrinth on the ground.
Thanks to this, not only the temperature was maintained, but also the soundproofing was maintained.
“The Lord himself dug the base, and I took care of the finer details. The hole you see over there is the one that connects to the water labyrinth.”
Secondly, the water labyrinth.
Water was trickling out of a hole in the wall, maintaining the humidity in the room, and even the sound of the water sounded like a peaceful sleep sound, perfect for falling asleep.
Thirdly, the Labyrinth of Fire.
Hwaruk-
Small flames flickered from the ceiling, keeping the shelter warm.
It was difficult to maintain a constant temperature in a room with the heat coming from the ceiling rather than the floor, but the heat enveloped the entire room as if some special method had been applied.
“You must have seen it too. That is the flame controlled by the prisoner of the Fire Labyrinth.”
“Maintaining the punishment for nearly a thousand years is quite harsh.”
“How cruel. If it were any other demon god, he would have been executed immediately. It is thanks to our demon god’s generosity that he is able to survive.”
Indeed, in the Demon World, strength was more important than law.
Rather than punishing them with death, it destroys their core and makes them lose all their powers, even if they have committed a lesser crime.
The result would be the same, since a demon that has lost its power in the Demon World would just become prey.
“Now that I think about it, that bastard’s punishment is almost over. I’ll have to come up with a new way to manage the temperature soon.”
“I can help you with that.”
“You?”
“I see, you have some expertise in enchantments.”
It’s easy to bring out the heat in the fire labyrinth.
Seun’s enchantment skills have reached their peak, having used enchantments dozens and hundreds of times in Jeheton.
It might be a hassle, but it was worth it if it could make a good impression on Belphegor.
“Well, it was also Dekarabia-sama’s magic that did the finishing touches on that ventilation shaft that connects to the Wind Labyrinth.”
“Of course you’re not naked, right?”
“Don’t get discouraged, human. No matter how talented you are, if you don’t receive the approval of the Demon Lord, you will have no future.”
I was hoping, but it seems like he doesn’t have a light personality like River.
As we moved towards Belphegor, we saw various scenery other than the passages connected to the four labyrinths.
All of these were things to help you get the best sleep, which showed how serious Belphegor was about sleep.
“Keep your breathing down.”
McQuincy’s voice suddenly lowered. Seun realized that he was about to face Belphegor.
And when we arrived.
‘This is really good.’

A huge bed was installed.
A bed decorated with white cushions and a comforter and pink lace that did not match the surrounding atmosphere.
In particular, the blanket looked so fluffy, as if it had just been taken out, that I wanted to jump into it right away.
“Get on your knees and bow your heads.”
Since this was his first meeting with Belphegor, Seun obediently followed McQuincy’s words.
I knelt on one knee and bowed my head, waiting for Belphegor to rise.
Like that for 1 minute.
‘… … ?’
I could tell because even the sound of breathing was being killed.
That there was no sound whatsoever in the bed.
Still, Seun held his composure and maintained his posture, as McQueency was right next to him, remaining silent.
Like that, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes.
As time passed, Belphegor did not wake up.
Finally, Se-Woon, who couldn’t stand it anymore, quietly turned his head and spoke to McQueency.
“Why aren’t you waking up?”
“He’s waking up. It’s just taking a little while since he’s been up for a while.”
“How long does it take?”
“The most recent wake-up time was about… … a week ago. The way you stretched was amazingly beautiful.”
At that moment, Se-woon felt dizzy.
A week?
Does that mean I have to stay in this spot, in this position, for a week?
Although the situation was no different from torture, McQuincy’s face remained calm.
No, rather, he was glancing towards the bed with an ecstatic expression on his face as if he was deeply moved.
‘Are you a pervert?’
I felt like I wanted to ring the alarm right away.
However, Seun had no choice but to tilt his head and let out a small sigh, afraid that waking Belphegor up forcibly would upset his nerves and interfere with their future conversation.
Rustle-
For the first time, I felt a presence on the bed.
– You! Didn’t I clearly tell you to keep your breathing down?
McQuincy’s voice echoed in my head.
As I turned my head to the voice that was making my head spin and giving me a headache, I saw McQuincy, who had been looking ecstatic until just now, with a fierce expression on his face as if to prove that he was the devil.
Even in angry situations, he used telepathy to express his anger, which was so faithful to his mission that it was almost extreme.
“Ugh… … .”
Before McQuincy could continue his anger, a new sound was heard from the bed.
This time it wasn’t just a simple toss and turn, it was Belphegor’s voice.
At this, McQuincy’s face turned pale and hardened.
Without even having time to get angry, I turn my head towards the bed and bow my head.
“vein…….”
“Did you call, my lord?”
“I’d like something to drink… … .”
“I will call you Colonel immediately!”
McQuincy spread his wings behind him and flew backwards urgently.
I heard a snapping sound, probably because I kept bending my legs and then quickly straightening them, but I didn’t seem to care.
Where did the words to muffle the sound disappear, a loud noise was heard from behind.
With the sound of crackling flames, McQuincy appeared holding a small glass.
“This is the warm milk you always drink.”
“Thank you… … .”
Belphegor revealed himself by pulling back the blanket with a hazy answer, as if he was still half asleep.
She carefully takes the glass of milk with her small, white hands.
It was a small cup that looked smaller than McQuincy’s thumb when he held it, but it felt big when Belphegor’s two small hands wrapped around it.
‘Is that the spirit of sloth?’
Mamon, the Demon God of Greed, appeared with his black wings fluttering and instantly took control of the board with his intimidating voice.
Leviathan, the jealous demon that beat Triton like a toy with its huge size that encompassed the entire Black Sea.
These two were the first images that came to mind when I thought of drinking, so I had made up my mind even before welcoming Belphegor.
However, the appearance of Belphegor that was revealed was far beyond Seun’s imagination.
“Umm, it’s warm~”
“Does it fit your taste well?”
“Wow! I feel like my body is melting!”
A round face like a child’s, curly hair long enough to cover the pillow and past the waist. Navy blue pajamas with yellow crescent moon patterns scattered throughout.
No matter how you looked at her, she looked like a sleepy girl.
“Whoa, I finished it all! Thanks, Mac!”
“It is an honor, Your Majesty.”
McQuincy took the glass of milk that Belphegor had finished drinking.
It gave me a little goosebumps to see her put the milk glass in her bosom as if it were a treasure, without even putting it away.
That ecstatic expression I saw earlier, isn’t he really a pervert?
‘Well, if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to last this long.’
Although Rivera was left in the Labyrinth of Fire as punishment, McQuincy was different.
He voluntarily stayed by Belphegor’s side and assisted him in his sleep for nearly a thousand years.
This is something that a normal demon would never be able to do.
As Belphegor turned his head after finishing drinking the milk, Seun was the first to speak.
“Meet the god of sloth.”
“Uhm, it’s you?”
Belphegor rose from his seat.
He gets down from the bed while holding the giraffe-shaped pillow he was using in his arms, and because he is short, the process looks quite difficult.
Eventually, McQuincy had to grab him by the armpit and pull him down.
Belphegor got out of bed, yawned loudly, and stood in front of Seun.
“A regressor who raided Mammon’s warehouse and used a counterfeit of Kronos.”
