The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 28. Expeditionary Force 2

As he began to think of a way to leave this labyrinth.

suddenly a stranger's voice sounded, As if it had read his mind.

"No need to search, in this labyrinth there is only an entrance and there is no such thing as an exit"

Surprised, the adjutant and his men spontaneously turned to see where the source of the voice was. The sound came from the hallway behind them

Aaron looked at them from a distance and greeted them with a cold voice.

"It's a dead end for you guys"

Actually the reason why they got lost and walked around in circles all this time was because of Aaron.

He used his [Labyrinth of Chaos] skill to confuse these people. He deliberately did so to direct them all to a place previously unexplored by others and intended to kill them there.

"Si, who are you!"

Seeing a handsome young man with blond hair appear suddenly, the aide who was in the middle of their formation shouted.

Alrac did not miss the fear of his voice.

“The rude. My name is Aaron. Welcome to our Underground Labyrinth. ”

After introducing himself, the figure gave an elegant respect like this place was a ballroom and the person he spoke to was his dance partner.

But, this place was the Underground Labyrinth, and the one who was his partner was a group of knights who kept threatening to attack him.

"master of this labyrinth?"

“That's right, everything in this Labyrinth is ours, and you who came to this place are a bunch of thieves. So, all of you should be given the proper punishment. ”

He squinted his blue eyes that looked ice-cold.

For a moment, the knights felt a killing intent that made their bodies tremble, but the aide stronger than the others took out his sword and shouted to suppress his fear.

“O, bullshit! This place is the land of Lord Bacau! If anyone is entitled to this labyrinth then he is the one and we are loyal followers who serve the feudal lord! You have no right to judge us! "

Normally, this was the approach Rick used to intimidate others. Unknowingly he was also imitating her.

If the other party was a villager, they would be frightened and kneel down asking for forgiveness.

But, this time his opponent was not like those villagers.

Aaron wonders if it's their luck because Alice isn't here?

While sneering, Aaron answered.

“No, this Underground Labyrinth is our kingdom. Your law does not apply here. Although it feels unpleasant, as a punishment for having acted insolent, I will suppress all of you with my own strength. ”

"T, get him!"

Hearing the orders from their captain, the knights suppressed his fear and approached Aaron.

They set up their formation and placed their shields in front of them.

They used the [Knight Defense] and [castle walls] skills to increase their defense, while the aides used the [Predatory intimidation] and [Battlefield Encouragement] skills to suppress the fear of their allies and scare their opponents.

The size of the underground labyrinth passageway was quite large, but, when the six knights with complete equipment were lined up consecutively, as expected there was no gap at all.

Even without the help of intimidation skills, their approaching formation was enough to inflict fear towards their opponents. But, in order to intimidate the man in front of him, the aide also used that skill.

However,

“I've seen such movements before.”

Said Aaron who looked bored.

The aide did not know, that the [Holy Sword] who had visited this underground labyrinth earlier had used the same tactic when fighting the judgment knight Dastin. Of course, some of the details are a little different from them.

But, unlike Alice, Aaron did not have the skills to see the skills they used. So he just ignored her

“……. Interference, Disarm ”

He immediately used magic towards the approaching knights.

Pale rays of light were seen flying towards them, and piercing through their bodies.

[Magic Effect – Amplification] and [Magic Effect – Enchantment] are used to increase the skill effect to the maximum. Furthermore with the help of the [Lineage of Magician] skill, Aaron was able to keep his magic consumption low while increasing his magic power.

After being exposed to the "Disram" magic all the equipment the knight used was stripped away, not to mention the sword and armor, even the hidden daggers and belts that could be used as weapons also disappeared.

Not only that the effect of this magic, it can also remove both their fingernails and feet as well as some teeth that they can use as weapons.

"what's going on? My sword!"

"My armour is gone too!"

"sakitt.. , my nails"

"How can we fight in this condition!"

"snow!"

"monsters..."

"everything, backwards!"

Because the aide who had previously used the [Battlefield Encouragement] skill to raise his men's combat spirit was instead swallowed in fear.

He earned the skill penalty, instead of becoming more and more daring, fear instead spread to his subordinates and made them become even more panicked.

There were people trying to escape, people who lost their nails and teeth wriggling on the floor in pain. There were also people who just stood there and became statues.There were a variety of conditions that they experienced, but none of them were pleasant.

Even without the [Battlefield Encouragement] penalty, With the disappearance of the weapons and armor protecting them, their originally not-high morale plummeted sharply.

"Ab, Absurd ... , with only one magic…. ”

The adjutant said with a trembling voice.

In order to become a good Knight, they had received training and lessons in class. The information they received at the first lecture was 'Magic is not almighty'.

They also knew of the existence of magic that could disarm their sejata and armor just now.

However, the magic had clear restrictions, each magician could only disarm 1 or 2 people at the same time and if they used all of where they had, they could only disarm, the maximum number of people they can disarm is 5.

Right now There are 15 people here, he should not have enough mana to compensate for the magic he used.

“……. Transfer, Summon Goblin ”

To make their condition even worse, Aaron uses the next spell.

A white portal appeared before him and from there a group of goblins appeared.

Armed with the shabby swords and armor they took from the dead adventurers in the maze. They approached the knight of Bacau While shouting a battle cry, they attacked the Knight who was trying to escape.

Since their numbers were fewer and did not have the equipment to protect themselves, the knights could only escape.

No matter where they run off, in the end they always end up finding a dead end.As Aaron said at the beginning, this is a dead end.

Because the labyrinth is still in the development stage so from this point onwards the labyrinth is still not finished.so you could say this place is the end of the current labyrinth.

Because it kept finding a dead end and had no other choice but to fight back. The desperate knights fought desperately to fight back even if it only extended their lives by a minute.

The adjutant seemed to be lucky, as he did not feel the despair that his men were currently feeling.

when goblin leader Raluk first ordered the goblins to attack the knights, he could not move his body due to the skill penalty he received and could only stand watching Raluk cut his throat.

＊ ＊ ＊

After killing all 15 Knights, Raluk reported the results of their fight.

And, when he finished hearing everything, Aaron furrowed his brows and looked displeased.

"It looks like we've received more damage than I thought"

"I'm, I'm sorry"

Since it was a one-sided massacre, it was unexpected that the Goblins killed by the Knights numbered around 10 Goblins.

"Once they decided to give up on escaping, they suddenly launched a desperate counterattack, and attacked us empty-handed"

“Ah, I heard about it a while ago. ”

He interrupted as Raluk hurriedly tried to explain what had happened, Aaron seemingly losing his spirit.

“Sorry Raluk. ”

"Eh?"

As their weapons and protective gear had been taken away, it had instead pushed their survival instincts further and made those people fight back desperately. The one who made them like that was Aaron himself.

"When I knew the Knights had come to the labyrinth. I think it would be better if you killed them with your own hands as revenge for them destroying your village. Because of that, I caused unnecessary sacrifices. I'm sorry"

Looking at his blue eyes, Raluk could see there was regret where he wasted the Goblin's life, there was also resentment because he made a mistake of judgment.

But, raluk who heard Aaron's words, shook his head left and right in a disapproving tone.

“Ap, what are you saying! Mr. Aaron, from the very beginning we did intend to kill the Knight with our own hands, which is why we accepted your summon. As for those who died, it was due to their lacking fighting ability of ”

"…… That's it, I thank you for saying that"

“Phe... Phee.. , I even wanted to spit on that dead man. Thinking they were killed by an opponent who had no weapons …. ”

Goblins were a weak race from the start.

The fact that the Goblin was weak, made Raluk clench his fists.

“Because we can dedicate their souls to the labyrinth, then there will be no problem with it. ”

The Goblin Chief said that to Aaron.

Among the many skill effects possessed by [Labyrinth Creation] one of the settings is the [Special Room], where in one of the rooms that can be made, there is a so-called power up room. Which room it had had the effect of reinforcing a weak existence.

If such a room could be created, then a weak being like a Goblin could become a first-rate warrior in nature. Of course it's a long trip. But, Aaron said seeped into Raluk's heart.

'If we follow Mr. Aaron, then we goblins can definitely be more prosperous than now.'

Raluk, lowered his head, and swore future loyalty towards Aaron.

Aaron looked down and assessed with his cold eyes. Perhaps he thought of the price the Goblin leader had paid, his Blue Eyes becoming colder than usual
