Magic Creatures

They entered the eighth floor.

The one to say that with a feeling of relief was Gig, the one with the lowest aptitude for magic. Carlos also nodded.

Woah~, the magical power is thick.

The smooth stone passageway was glowing an ivory white, the light seemed to emit strong magical power.

Resting for the two magicians went much faster than usual, they could feel their magical power recover. As for Ria, her magical power was never exhausted from using magic in the first place.

Serge said, excitedly.

That was half correct, and half incorrect.

Excalibur!

Alright!

There was also a manticore coming to attack from the opposite side, but Ria stopped it with her katana.

Everyone raised a hand towards Rias call.

They also had high magic resistance. But when Serge used the trump card that hed used on the fifth floors devil on the normal monsters that roamed the labyrinth, the effects were apparent.

Just a little, these enemies are strong

The small fry enemies on the eighth floor had about the same strength of the fifth floors guardian. They could even use magic.

Though magical power restores quickly, its difficult when youre frazzled.

Lulu was also mentally fatigued. As for their ability to fight continuously, it was generally taxing to fight battle after battle. If they messed up, they could die from a single blow.

Just a bit~. If the small fry are as strong as this, just how strong is that dogazer thing?

Similarly, Ria who also had her previous lifes knowledge, didnt know of something called a dogazer. Though she did know things like goblins and elves because they were famous.

There have been few sightings of one in the first place, and since they are living things created from magic, maybe they each have individual differences?

To Lulus knowledge, other than when it is seen in labyrinths and ruins, it was not a demon that existed in the wild.

First of all, its outward appearance was that of a huge black sphere with a huge eyeball and mouth, with several tentacles growing from the top of it. It floated to move and wasnt that fast.

First, its huge eye reflects magic. When using magic against it, it would bounce back at you.

The metal disintegration ray is troubling

Either way, it seems we can prevent it with a magic defensive barrier.

With things like paralysis and mind control, Im not sure if were ready for it.

Either way Im going to use Identify on it first so that we know which rays it can use.

After a short break, the group headed towards the mysteries of the labyrinth.

From then on, a lot of magic creatures appeared and synthetic beasts played the leading role.

Though combat time increased, so did the amount of experience. Enemies that could use magic seemed to give more experience.

After a few hours, the group arrived at the guardians room.

The room was circular, approximately thirty meters wide. Floating there, a three meter wide black sphere.

Paralysis, petrification, freezing, hypnosis, mind control, metal disintegration, bio disintegration, and eight kinds of deadly poisons.

Ria asked him. Since Serges Identify was able to measure it so precisely, it was very convenient.

Isnt it quite tenacious? No, isnt its defensive strength too much?

None. Ria, Carlos, and Gig each nodded, magic being used on them.

Alright, lets go!

This isnt what we talked about!

So you said

Serge pouted. It definitely wasnt his fault.

The trap was the room itself.

When Lulu tried to use the barrier again, she noticed.

Because entering the room diffused magical power. Magic couldnt take form, only fired.

Ria had to carry and fling Gig out of the room after he began to attack allies due to the mind control ray. After that, his abnormal condition was removed with magic.

Even when they tried to hit the dogazer with a weak Water Bullet magic, it turned into plain water the moment it entered the room, falling down in place.

As for the barriers, once magic was applied it wouldnt diffuse. But offensive magic couldnt get through. This was such a room.

What do we do?

Gig also felt depressed from being no help, as well as the two magicians.

Well, I do know of one way to beat it.

The Ogre King used the same method to break through though. Well, it cant be helped.

Eh? What are you doing?

From the magic bag, she took out her dear Beat to Death Wooden Sword. Then she gripped an axe in each hand. Though she wasnt accustomed to these weapons, the light rays would probably affect long-handled things.

With his resistance to abnormal conditions, the Ogre King was also quite strong, but that wasnt all. Now that shed seen how magic diffused, she knew how to defend against the rays.

The Ogre King couldnt use magic. But he was rich in magical power itself.

Then, Im going.

The dogazer fired rays towards her. The first one was blocked by the magic defensive barrier.

The second ray. Resisted by Rias resistance.

Haah-!

The slashing axe attack pierced the dogazer. She damaged it by rotating quickly.

The dogazer all-out rammed her, flashing again. Then a ray shot out. This time was the disintegration ray of instant death.

But it was countered by the magical power that Ria released.

Thats right, magical power.

Though the room could scatter magical power in the magic, it couldnt erase the magical power itself. So in that case, if you release the magical power, it was able to defend.

But in this case, it was effective.

When the dogazer used magic to fire rays at her, Ria made use of her magical power to defend. There were no problems even if there were ten times more to defend against.

She just had to crush the dogazer before her magical power ran out.

Cracking the dogazers carapace, Ria single-mindedly slammed her axe into it.

Its ramming attacks were sluggish, and its fangs were crushed by the axe.

In the end, Ria defeated the dogazer by herself.

Somehow or another, isnt Nee-chan fine by herself?

Thats unreasonable. If I were alone, I would have been overran by sheer numbers on some floor and collapse from running out of endurance.

Though she said that, she wanted to challenge this place by herself some time.
