Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Chapter 24 The tyranny of the Sun God Church

Starting from the 5th floor, the enemy has become much stronger.

The body of the lizard became huge, and the skin became harder.

As Ars and Elza’s powers were no longer able to deliver final blows, the processing was delayed.

It took a long time to defeat him even with a blessing.

Az gave up on making a solo kill. As a vanguard, he devoted himself to decoys and made Alexia’s magic the center of annihilation.

As Alexia unleashed her magic, she relieved her stress and complained less. Are you lucky?

Unlike a pure mage, Alexia can counterattack with a battle ax even if attacked, and she can enchant the battle ax to increase attack power.

As he saw the pseudo-magic ax, not the pseudo-magic sword, he gave an envious look.

“Sorry, but this is not good for other people’s weapons.”

“Ah….”

“Sometimes you act like a child. Oh, were you the youngest among them?”

“Deadly Az, you are cute.”

Elsa stared at Azu in awe.

Alexia didn’t like that kind of Elsa.

It was a bit difficult at first, but thanks to the change in tactics, things went smoothly again.

“Alexia, is your magic okay?”

“Yes. Thanks to this brooch, there is no problem with fire magic. It’s a really great magic tool.”

“I see.”

“Why are you happy?”

The deepest part of the 6th floor.

I have arrived at the room where the owner of this ore labyrinth is.

“Are you all right? Then, I will open it.”

Az opened the huge door.

The room was quite spacious. In the center of the room sat a large, black lizard several times the size of Azu.

No, rather than sitting, she is gnawing at the ground with her hard fangs.

The door closes. Finally, the black lizard noticed the presence.

Az raised her sword at the lizard. Elsa strengthened it with a blessing.

Alexia let out a sigh and cast her fire magic.

Azu has been strengthened by the blessing, and she is much faster than when she entered this labyrinth. She even gained her powers by defeating lizards, but the way she handled her powers increased.

The black lizard’s attack did not reach Azu.

The long tail, fangs, and limbs avoided all attacks.

Every time Arzu saw a gap, she tried to cut it with her sword, but it was firm.

Her hardness is comparable to the centipede that once drove Arzu to the brink of death.

But Arzu thought the black lizard was less threatening.

I didn’t feel the despair at that time.

Azu was content to hurt her a little, and went back to her role as a decoy.

Az couldn’t properly deal her damage, but her Alexia’s magic was very powerful.

The black lizard let out a loud scream every time it was hit by magic.

Az drew aggro by slashing the black lizard that was running towards Alexia.

Elsa deftly bounced off her tail while she was using her magic.

When Alexia saw this and muttered that she was a superpowered woman, Elsa turned around and replied with a smile.

“This is a scary priest….”

Alexia gathered her spirits and prepared a more powerful spell for her final blow.

The black lizard seemed to feel that her life was threatened, so it took several large rocks in her mouth and threw them at Alexia.

Az stood between Alexia and the rock and took the posture of the Ash King.

Alexia is preparing her magic so she can’t move.

It was too late for Elsa to carry Alexia in her arms.

The black lizard bit the next rock in its mouth.

Let me block the rock attack and knock it down with magic.

Azu made that decision.

He showed off his copycat swordsmanship, which he practiced while recalling the movements of the King of Ashes.

The first rock was cut, and the next rock was blown away using the rotational force. Next, then the next.

As the sword moved according to its logic, the superfluity disappeared from Azu’s sword.

Although he was too immature compared to the Ash King’s swordsmanship, Azu blocked all flying rocks.

Alexia’s chant was over before the black lizard blew the next rock.

“―My prayer. May you be embraced by the King of Fire with an oath of super-flame.”

It was a high-level magic classified as great magic.

This magic, which was difficult for Alexia to cast alone, was enough to defeat the black lizard.

The massive, charred body fell to the floor.

The burning smell vibrated.

Azu and the others relaxed for a while and caught their breath.

Alexia purifies the air with magic that manipulates the environment. It’s good that I don’t have to breathe the air mixed with the smell of burnt.

I ignored the dead lizard and looked around.

I heard there is a treasure chest in this room….

There was a small treasure chest inside.

There was a small but gold bar inside.

It was dazzling.

Az put it in her backpack and stood up.

I have gathered all the ore I need, and there is also a pile of silver ore in my backpack.

I must have obtained a gold bar, the strategy is over.

“Come to think of it, this labyrinth doesn’t disappear even if the owner dies.”

Az had a question.

Elza answered.

“That’s because it’s the opposite. The graveyard kept its shape thanks to that monster. That’s why she lost her owner and couldn’t keep her shape. As long as this labyrinth exists, there will be an owner among the lizards, so it will not disappear.”

“… Hmm.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but to be precise, it means that this place has no owner. That’s why it doesn’t go away.”

“I see.”

Az nodded her head.

Alexia planted her battle ax into the ground and leaned against it.

Then she sighed.

I’m preparing to go back, but the area around the entrance is noisy.

Arzu raised her sword and took her stance.

The other two also took a combat posture.

Azu and the others looked at the entrance with their posture, but several men entered.

The men were equipped in their own way and did not appear to be adventurers.

An exceptionally tall man in the lead looked at the dead body of a black lizard.

“Huh? Oops, like this.”

After looking at the corpse with interest, I noticed Az and the others.

Then he opened her arms wide.

“There is a guest who came first. Ladies, good luck or bad…. From now on, the Church of the Sun will be renting this place, so please leave quickly.”

“Rent a labyrinth? Something like that.”

“Permission has been granted. It seems that the owner of this place has also been defeated, and you have no business now, right?”

“That’s true, but….”

This opinion doesn’t seem important.

The men are armed and outnumbered over there.

Fortunately, if this side retreats, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to fight.

Arzu disarmed after exchanging glances with the two.

“Conversation works. Great May I take this corpse?”

“How much will you live for?”

“Oh, 3 gold coins. You can’t move anyway, can you?”

“Thank you.”

Az received the gold coin and left the room.

“Come to think of it, I forgot. My name is Ebris, a temple knight of the Sun God Church.”

After that, I hurriedly got out of the labyrinth before the other side changed its mind.

After that, as Evris said, other adventurers could not enter the ore labyrinth.

There seemed to be a plausible reason attached to it, such as an accident.

‘Are adventurers really free?’ Az thought.
