“I’m leaving.”

The believers abandoned the Labyrinth Temple and began to move out.

“Other believers are going up to the ground… Are you saying it’s okay?”

“He said he would follow my words unconditionally.”

“I see. But… why do you keep riding on my back? Nemesis.”

The God of the Labyrinth… No, this goddess kept clinging to my back and not moving.

“You are also my believer, so follow my words. This is my sanctuary now.”

“Why does the human body become a sanctuary?”

“That’s my heart.”

When the seal was released, I cried so sadly…

Now the goddess’s ugly true face is beginning to be revealed.

Without even listening to me, he sat on my back and climbed on top of me, calling it his sanctuary.

‘Hmm… It’s only been a few hours since I woke up. Don’t say anything, just be patient..’

I suddenly felt like a slave in Shinto, but I decided to understand.

“Goddess. But you know the way up, right?”

“Huh? I don’t know.”

“…?”

“The labyrinth is now out of my hands. I don’t feel it. Even when I touch the wall, I feel like it’s trying to push me away.”

“It’s fascinating. How long has it been since the seal was released…”

“That’s right.. It feels like I’m alive.. Ugh..!”

-Kuuuung..!

Suddenly the entire labyrinth began to shake.

“What..what is it!?”

“I don’t know either..!”

As the entire labyrinth shook, the believers created a curtain around them to protect the people.

“I guess… the labyrinth has become a bit strange since Nemesis was released from the seal?”

“I think so.. Look at that.”

Nemesis pointing to a point behind my back.

Let’s turn our attention in that direction.

Something fell off the wall of the labyrinth and suddenly appeared in front of us.

“””God is…”””

“””Our..”””

“””..”””

They were none other than adventurers created by the labyrinth.

Their eyes were glowing green, and they were heterogeneous adventurers that I had never seen before in the middle village and the surface village.

“””Leave God in his place…”””

“Those are adventurers who were sacrificed.”

“There are adventurers who were forgotten in the past..”

“To come back to life again.. uh..how can this happen..”

The believers and our party members were embarrassed, but soon came to their senses and formed a formation.

“They are trying to steal our God. Believers! Let’s protect it!”

What Nemesis felt was accurate.

The labyrinth was alive.

The labyrinth seemed to start moving as soon as it felt Nemesis was released.

A labyrinth that grew infinitely with the power of Nemesis…

When they saw us taking it away, they started to be hostile.

“Judge the enemies in front of you! Now Nemesis’ enemy is the labyrinth..!”

The believers moved to protect Nemesis.

Angelica and Schrodinger, who were protecting me, also ran forward and faced the adventurers in the labyrinth together with Shindo.

-Whoop..!

“It’s sloppy.. God will get it back..”

As the party members around me disappeared, an assassin-type adventurer infiltrated through the protective barrier created by the believers.

“What do you mean by sloppy.”

I looked back at the guy and pointed my finger into the air.

The assassin-type adventurer’s green eyes followed my finger.

Then I discovered that numerous blood-colored spears were aimed at him.

“Inhale!”

-Ching ching ching!!

The guy blocked the flying spears, but there were so many spears that he ended up getting stuck all over his body.

“Put the body back in its original place..”

“Hey Labyrinth. After sucking it for thousands of years, give him honorary retirement now. Isn’t God pitiful?”

“No..mine.. mine.. mine and only.. gagging..”

The assassin-type adventurer who was turned into a labyrinth turned into a hedgehog and was reduced to powder.

“Labyrinth.. This bastard.. He pretended to be friendly to me and followed everything, but then he was building up the power to betray me!”

Nemesis frowned as he listened to Labyrinth’s answer.

“I think my eyes started rolling because something I was eating well was taken away.”

“Okay then! I will never run away!”

“Yes, of course. Let’s survive and give Migung despair.”

No matter how much the labyrinth moved, a hastily assembled party of adventurers without any organizational skills could not deal with us.

The understanding of unions and party composition was also strange.

Patina is an assassin only. A party of archers tried to stop us, but they all failed and were reduced to dust.

“We are adventurers and you are trying to deal with us as adventurers. Even if it’s stupid, it’s still too stupid, right?”

We quickly overpowered them and moved forward without wasting any time.

Breaking through the 7th layer. Breaking through the 6th layer…

“Although the terrain has changed, we have already reached level 5.”

“The floor where the middle village is.. It will be safe here.”

Although we fought frantically and climbed the ranks, no one seemed to be having a hard time.

As I was inserting blood cells into each believer, everyone moved forward with energy rather than feeling exhausted.

“The adventurer village… is on fire!”

“I can’t believe the middle village is suffering..”

“I guess the labyrinth is attacking not only us but also adventurers?”

“The labyrinth originally attacked adventurers.”

“Oh, that’s right…”

Luna scratched her head at Schrodinger’s words and looked inside the village.

-Ching! Ching!

“Looks like someone is fighting! I can hear the sound of steel!”

“Angelica. I’m asking you to see if someone is in danger.”

“Yes.”

Angelica’s seat was empty.

Angelica was the first to break forward and look for where the battle was taking place.

“There..”

Angelica appeared where the desperate sound was heard.

-Ching!! Ching!

“””Die.. become the ingredients of the labyrinth..”””

“Keuuu.. There is no way my.. colleague will come back to life..”

As expected, the ones who attacked the village were adventurers who had gone into the labyrinth.

They seemed to be dragging the corpses of adventurers with their limbs missing and approaching the next adventurer.

-puck!

“Kwaaagh..!”

“Now… you too become like us. Dear friend..”

“Uuuu…!!”

Although he was a guard adventurer who resisted without letting go of his sword until the end, his body and sword were already shaking.

“Die.”

“I hate it!!”

-Suddenly…

A sword strike fell on the guard adventurer.

“…gagging..”

However, the person who was cut down by the sword was not a security adventurer.

Angelica cut down the labyrinthized adventurer and swept away all nearby enemies.

“Ah..ah..Jiwon..!”

The security adventurer shed tears as he saw Angelica moving dazzlingly.

When I belatedly followed Angelica into the village, I saw an adventurer with a nosebleed looking at Angelica.

“Hey. Wake. She’s my girl.”

“Ah..yes!”

The guard adventurer looked at me in surprise, as if he had come to his senses by my words.

“Those are adventurers I used to know..”

“Do those guys also have green eyes?”

“I have to kill him..”

“Ah..! no! You must not kill adventurers!”

“What do you mean?”

“Labyrinth Stone! That’s what happens when you use the Labyrinth Stone! Just cut out the part that holds the Labyrinth Stone! It will come back to normal again!!”

“I see… Angelica! You heard it!”

“Yes.”

Angelica looked at the hands of the adventurers encroached on the labyrinth stone.

The adventurers were holding on to the Labyrinth Stone… or green light was seen flowing from necklaces and rings.

Without mercy, Angelica cut off her hands and fingers with rings, and immediately tore off things like necklaces.

“Kaaaa!! Ah..uh..uh..I..I am now..”

As the Labyrinth Stone fell from their bodies, the adventurers were seen coming to their senses one by one.

Seeing those who had come to their senses, the Nemesis believers used recovery techniques.

The adventurers looked around in confusion as they reattached their severed hands and fingers.

“What happened to me.. uh..”

“It’s disturbing. Go back.”

“Ah.. the dancer of the lightning strike..!”

Schrodinger frowned as he read the situation unfolding before his eyes.

He grabbed the labyrinth stone he was carrying, broke it, and ran forward.

She seemed to be so angry that she disappeared, sparking electricity around her.

-Jijijik..! bang!

In an instant, it passed by, destroying the encroached labyrinth stones.

“Uh..la..”

“Why am I holding a sword..”

“This is…”

Not only that, he cut down all the adventurers in the labyrinth, forcing the situation to end.

“Phew..”

“It’s over.. Everyone stay alert and take a break..”

Once the situation was somewhat settled, we decided to meet the adventurers who had come to their senses and hear their detailed story.

“The labyrinth shook.. Adventurers from the past with green eyes attacked the village..”

“To deal with that adventurer… we used the Labyrinth Stone…”

“I became like them..”

“Pfft..”

Even the 5th tier middle village where strong adventurers were located was attacked.

“…I guess the labyrinth stone was also the labyrinth guy’s plan.”

“That’s right.. Because humans constantly seek power. I guess they used that…”

Everyone was uncomfortable with the labyrinth’s meticulous planning.

“Let’s head to the ground somehow. If you go up to the ground, the power of the labyrinth will be less powerful.”

When I told them my destination, everyone nodded in agreement.

Is it because the labyrinth he knew has changed?

The will to survive seemed stronger than the items or materials coming out of the labyrinth.

The adventurers in the village all agreed and decided to follow us.

“This is also strange.”

“What..”

Nemesis behind me was curious.

“Nemesis believers and adventurers are together.”

” That’s right.. I guess it’s not just the labyrinth that has changed..”

“Hehe.. of course.”

Anyway, after major maintenance, we headed toward the ground.

After gathering as many resources as possible from the middle village on the 5th tier, I headed to the 4th tier. I wonder if the influence of the labyrinth is less here. There were no adventurers in the labyrinth.

So most of the monsters were guarding the streets.

“Keueeeng!!”

“Krrrr..!”

“Ugh.. the monsters.. have been strengthened!”

“It’s the 4th layer..! Looks like a 6th tier monster..!”

“If only I could use the Labyrinth Stone! They’re the size of a fist… Wow!”

Adventurers who cannot use the Labyrinth Stone.

Additionally, the difficulty level changed for each layer of the labyrinth.

Everyone was unable to adapt to the change and was struggling even after encountering monsters from the 4th floor.

The appearance of monsters strengthened up to the 4th tier.

Adventurers trapped in the labyrinth below the 5th floor…

And the Labyrinth Stone can no longer be used.

The surviving adventurers came to the surface with only the information of despair.

“Finally.. I see the light of the sun..”

“I lived..I lived..”

Come out to the entrance of the labyrinth. I saw numerous adventurers and guards guarding the entrance.

“For now! The entrance to the labyrinth is controlled..! Notification from the adventurer’s house! In order to know the exact changes, the entrance to the labyrinth is closed for the time being!!”

Everyone rushed to respond to the sudden change, but the damage seemed to be enormous.

Numerous adventurers had collapsed right from the entrance.

Everyone was looking at the entrance to the huge labyrinth with eyes full of fear.
