After defeating the Fire Dragon...... Sylphy defeats it, we find a large place in the cave of the 50th level and set up a mobile base to spend the night. After defeating the fire dragon, I checked my level because my power had obviously increased after defeating the fire dragon, and then I read the book of the hero who conquered this labyrinth up to the 87th layer.

Ha-ha-ha, my level has gone up thirty-five levels at once. I've killed quite a few demons in this labyrinth, but it was only after the fire dragon that my power clearly changed.

The higher the level, the harder it is to get up to the next level, and I think I probably got up to more than twenty levels by the Fire Dragon. Is this what you call "Botamochi"?

Maybe I'm getting stronger, but it's strange that I feel like it doesn't matter when there is a Sylphy around me.

I'm going to take it easy now, and try to get myself back in the right frame of mind. It's a good thing that I'm getting higher, so let's be happy about it. Now, let's read the book of heroes.

.................. envies you the harem life. It's a book about a man who truly loves the color of heroes. It also contains information about the labyrinth, and the death battle against the fire dragon is the climax of the middle part of the book.

According to the book, after the 50th level, the level of enemies usually appear and the danger level increases, though not as much as in the 49th level.

The more you gather, the more valuable things you can get. The fifty-sixth to fifty-ninth layers are said to be mountainous, and precious medicinal herbs and ores are said to have been discovered. It seems that the 50th layer is the first stage and the second stage has begun.

I don't know if there is a stage after the 100th layer, but if there is, the 100th layer must be the third stage.

Sylphy. Since that's the case, let's go to the mountainous area tomorrow and gather a lot of precious medicinal herbs and ores before returning to the mountain.

"I don't mind, but why don't you go for the 87th layer or later? If you cross the Hero, Gilmas will definitely regret it."

I thought about that too, but that wouldn't work. It's too warm.

"Sylphie. If I crossed the eighty-seventh layer, Gilmas would be surprised and frustrated, but don't you think it would be easy to apologize?"

"What do you mean?"

Sylphy doesn't seem to understand. I guess I just have a bad temper.

"I don't know, it's kind of easy to bow down to someone like that when you're beyond heroic. People will think it's a good thing. Because you're harassing someone who's beyond heroic."

This alone might be damaging, but that's all it is. If he apologizes, then our character will be questioned. If you forgive, it's the end. It's not that easy to end it.

"But what do you think will happen if we only wholesale products from the mountainous areas? I don't think Gilmas will be inclined to bow down, because if the operation that we are carrying out in the forty-ninth layer succeeds, we will be able to catch up with them. I know it's incredibly frustrating, but I think he'll believe in the success of the operation and persevere while I'm wholesaling the materials.

"Yes, that's true. But if you succeed, they will catch up with you.

"You said that mission would take time. What about Gilmas' mind in the meantime? And even if we succeed, it doesn't mean they can overtake us, and if we fail, I think it would be hell for Gilmas. As long as I'm ahead, I'm the adventurer's guild in the labyrinth city, and the materials for a particular labyrinth won't be brought to me."

"Yuta, you really have a bad character.""Yuta. Bad boy?""" Cue?""" It's not good, okay?"" Cu?"

Bell and the others rebuked me. Sylphy's words are more like "I didn't know there was such a thing as a way of thinking" than "I'm sorry," so I guess there's no problem. I'll have to make some excuses to Belle and the others.

"Listen up everyone! As I said at the time of the general zombies, this is also a battle for my, or rather a necromancer's, dignity. You heard the sarcasm in the Adventurer's Guild. They think that the genie is a fool. It's a dangerous world if we are underestimated.

I'm having a little fun, but I'm not going to tell you that.

"Yeah?""" Cue?""" Hmm?""" Coo?"

"Yes."

I assure you emphatically. Do not be puzzled here. Good. It seems that Bell and the others have been convinced. That was close. Unlike Sylphy, Belle and the others are good and pure children. We mustn't show them anything ugly. At the very least, we should be vindicated.

If this and I can train a good necromancer, we'll see how the guild members react. ...... is getting fun.

****

We left the cave and entered the mountainous area.

"It's really big. Can you call this a labyrinth?"

Why are there a series of mountains in the labyrinth? I don't understand.

"Yes, it does. As Yuta read in his book, it seems to become something else from the 50th level. It's five times wider than the previous levels.

......Five times as big or ......I haven't seen every inch of the previous hierarchy, so I can only guess, but it's not fancy.

"Hmmm. I'd like to put some effort into collecting, but I don't know where to go. If we head for the stairs, it would be easier to know exactly where we want to go.

The volcanoes had good visibility because of the choppy vegetation, but in the mountainous areas, trees and grass were doing their best to claim their territory.

"There's no one here but Yuta, so why don't we fly around and check out the best spots?"

I don't even know how long it would take me to get there, so I might as well. I abandoned the romance of the labyrinth when the undead came out, and I don't want to go exploring normally when there are other ways to get around this big place. Let's just activate the romance at another convenient time and take the easy way out this time.

"Shall we do that? Let's focus on the places that are distinctive."

I ask Sylphy to put up a cocoon of wind and fly up into the sky. I ask Belle and the others to let me know if they find anything interesting, and we go our separate ways. When they find something interesting, they each fly away in high spirits. For some reason, Belle flew away on Rain. Are they going to look for it together?

"Yuta. There's a village over there."

I looked in the direction Sylphy pointed, and sure enough, there was a village. It has been carved out of the mountain and many hut-like structures have been built. They are quite large.

What kind of village is it? You're not a person, are you?"

"Yes, there are orc kings. They must have formed a large herd. There are other settlements of goblin kings and kobold kings and troll kings and ogre settlements scattered throughout the mountains. It seems that the settlements are fighting each other.

"What about each king? Class A?"

Even if you cross the 50th layer, you can't break ties with goblins, kobolds, and orcs. And the groups of them are annoying.

Yes, class A. It's probably more difficult than assault dragons when you consider the herd."

It's like a warring age of demons in the mountainous area of the labyrinth. Hmm. I'm tired of taking on hordes of them. If they see us, we'll fly away. They can't fly.

It makes me sick to my stomach to have to search through this vast mountain range fighting legions of them. Let's fly and look for a place where we can find something good.

"Sylphy. I don't have any idea what I'm looking for... How should I look for it? The book says that there are some precious medicinal herbs, such as magic grass, which is used to make the highest grade magic restorative, and elixir grass, which is used to make the highest grade elixir, but do we have to go downstairs?"

The book said that the herbs available in the mountains helped the heroes to be better prepared and to go further. It is said that these two herbs can be obtained outside of the labyrinth, but they are said to be extremely rare, and there was a big fuss when they were found in the labyrinth.

If you go further into the labyrinth, you will find a herb called "Jinryoku Grass". It is said that there is a herb called "Shinryoku-so" which can make a medicine to heal a deficiency. Heroes were the first to discover this herb, and the guild of apothecaries worked together to study this powerful herb. The guild of apothecaries worked together to research this powerful herb and produced a medicine to heal the defective.

It is said that the herb was named "Jinryokusa" because of its god-like power, but it does not have the power of a god.

"It would certainly make it easier to find. Shall we go downstairs?

I guess I'd better. What? Tulu is back. Did you find something yet?"

"I found something good."

That was Tulu's opening line. Tulu is smiling and a little proud. He seems confident. Tulu takes me by the hand to a place where the rock surface is bare.

"Tulu. What's here?"

"Mithril's artery."

...... Mithril is that thing. A very famous metal in fantasy. I want a mithril sword or mithril armor.

"Great work Tulu. Thanks for finding it for me."

Patting them on the head and giving them compliments. Mithril is quite a treasure. As I recall, Tulu said he can't extract the minerals yet, so we should store the vein of ore in the rock and have him extract it after making a contract with Nomos.

I'll dig the vein, and Tulu can direct me where to dig. Sylphy, can you keep the demons out of the area if they come near?

"Yes."

"Okay."

Following Tulu's instructions, we gouge out a vein of ore with a magic shovel and store it. I wonder how much mithril is in this chunk of rock? Tulu will reinforce the rock when it collapses, so we can dig as fast as we can.

You are making a labyrinth of places in the labyrinth. It would be better to bury them when the digging is finished.

"Yuta! Yuta! I found a great one in Berlian-inde. Come here. Coo-coo.

Belle and Rain fly into the air and make a big fuss in excitement.

"Wait a minute, Belle. We're digging for rocks right now. Tulu, how much more ore do we have?

"There's still a lot of it."

So there's a lot. That's a good thing. We're gonna get a lot of mithril.

"I see. Then let's stop digging and check on Bell and Lane."

"Yes."

"Yuta. Quickly!

Okay, I'm coming. Bel. Rain. Just calm down.

They are so excited that they want to show you what they have found as soon as possible. He's flapping his flippers. So cute. We go outside to meet up with Sylphy and cover the hole with rocks. We don't want any trouble if a demon gets inside. Belle is about to take off, but I calm her down and ask Sylphy to put up a wind cocoon.

"We're ready! Belle. Rain. Lead the way.

Yes, sir. - Cue.

Bell and Rain departed with a bang at the same time as the word. What on earth have they found? We desperately chased after Belle and Rain, who were flying by, and arrived at a slightly dark and eerie place with dense trees.

"Yuta. Here. Look here."

Belle extends her short index finger in an appealing gesture. At the tip of Bell's finger is a large tree. ...... If you look closely, you can see a hollow in the tree where Bell's finger is pointing. I move closer and peek inside. .......

"Wow! This is a treasure chest. And it's so gorgeous!

Inside the wooden cave sits a gorgeous, golden treasure chest. Shiny.

"Wow, Belle. Rain. How did you find this? How did you find it?"

"Belle, that's amazing!" "Queue!"

Excited, Belle and Rain burst with joy at the praise, and began to fly around the forest. Hmmm... It's going to take some time for them to calm down.

But who would find such a cave ...... in the middle of a tree not much different from the others in a dense forest? No, Belle and Rain found it, but it's not common.

Now let's see what's in this gorgeous treasure chest. I can't wait to find out.
