Chapter 58: To the Labyrinth! (4)
There are no laws in the Infinite Labyrinth. While some argue that the laws of the Kingdom should prevail even within the Labyrinth, it’s virtually impossible to enforce. That being said, there are a few mutually agreed-upon rules to go by.
1. Do not harm the miners working on the higher floors.
2. Do not steal others’ belongings.
3. Do not kill each other.
The Infinite Labyrinth is otherwise completely lawless.
That’s why these fools are trying to ‘pick up’ my knights.
They can get away with murder as long as there are no witnesses or evidence left behind. After all, circumstantial evidence by itself can’t prove anyone’s guilt.
Hmm, what should I do?
Laura said no, but they were still following us all the way to the gate leading downstairs.
“What’s the plan, Horn E. Mann?”
[We’ll see how far they’ll follow us. At least that’ll confirm something, won’t it, Serika?]
Serika covered her face with her hands in defeated acceptance.
I became certain the disguise worked since the creepy men didn’t recognise Serika as the Sword Maiden.
[They wouldn’t have come anywhere near us if they knew who she was.]
“They dare hit on us when we belong to the Scion?”
“Captain, they aren’t trying to hit on us, they’re trying to rape us.”
“But this is only the first floor!”
“There are many sick perverts who try to rape women the first chance they get, even on the first floor.”
Yurdias unsheathed her dagger from her thigh.
“Shall I kill them?”
[Hmm…]
It’s not that I value their lives, or that I feel bad giving my knights the order to kill.
[I think it would be better to make them experience a fate worse than death. There’s no need to get our hands dirty.]
“What will you do?”
[We’re going to the third floor. If I’m correct, ‘they’ should be there, right, Serika?]
“Yes. I’ll lead the way.”
We arrived at an open area at the end of the hallway. There was a magic circle in the middle and, beyond it, a set of stairs leading us down…
This is the boss room.
The boss of the first floor is so pathetically weak that there are people who specifically only target that boss.
“You’re here—”
[Shh! Talk to Laura. I’m just a living armour belonging to the knight order called Horn E. Mann.]
“I understand. Captain Laura, I received the report. Would you like to kill the boss?”
“No.”
Laura glanced at the downward stairs.
“We would like to travel directly down to the third floor.”
“Yes, ma’am. The boss is about to spawn, but…”
[Let me check something first, then.]
Before I could barely finish my sentence…
Bwah—
The magic circle on the floor started glowing red, and those who were standing around nearby picked up their weapons one by one.
Everyone was armed with a pickaxe, waiting for the mist from the magic circle to subside.
DUN!
A monstrous, otherworldly figure appeared behind the mist.
“I’ve only ever heard about it.”
“Obelisk.”
[Hmm…]
It wasn’t like this in the game.
“Good thing it isn’t the boss.”
[I think the boss only appears when certain conditions are met.]
“Yup. There’s no need to summon a boss monster unless we need it for some reason since Obelisk will be summoned instead.”
Yurdias looked at it with keen interest in her eyes.
“Once Obelisk appears, the miners kill it to loot magic stones off it. That’s what they’ve been doing for centuries in the first few floors of the Infinite Labyrinth.”
[Who wouldn’t want to work here when you can make easy money? You can make money as long as you can swing a pickaxe.]
The miners began swinging their pickaxes at Obelisk. With everything swing, they seemed to be saying: “This fucking sucks, I’m only doing it for the money.”
But at the end of the day, those miners are fundamental to the Permarten economy. The taxes collected from magic stone sales flow directly into the Permarten family’s hands. I’m grateful to them for it.
But…
“Horn E. Mann, they’re still following us.”
[They’re trying to rape women when they should be busy swinging their pickaxes? Tsk. We’ll have to give them the death they deserve. Let’s go, Captain. Onto the third floor!]
“We’ll go straight down to the third floor, then!”
There are two reasons why I’m saying all this out loud.
First, I want the perverts following us to overhear our plan.
Second, I love how you can skip up to five floors at a time. PAO was a shit game which forced you to climb down every single floor.
This world is the best.
◇◇◇
Third floor of the Infinite Labyrinth.
A blonde with bunny ears, a thief with dark blue hair in a skin-tight outfit, and a silver-haired knight in a black coat…
“What I would do to strip her down and fuck her…”
The perverts whispered among themselves while following my knights down to the third floor.
“What do we do about the living armour?”
“Who cares? It’s just a glorified walking luggage.”
“Female parties won’t hire a man even as a loot carrier these days. It used to be fun following women around while staring at their asses.”
The perverts didn’t know how skilled the women they were following would be, but there was no way they could be strong when they didn’t use a warp gate.
“Hey, did you see the silver-haired one?”
“What about her?”
“You know the Sword Slut, right?”
“What would she be doing here? She would’ve gone straight down to the 50th floor.”
If they knew she was the Sword Maiden, they would’ve never gone after her.
“Look, a sword master doesn’t hang out in a beginner area like this. We’d all be fucked already if the Sword Maiden was here. It can’t be her. She isn’t the only silver-haired knight either, you know.”
“You’re right…”
“Anyway, she’s mine. I’m going to get laid for the first time in a while… Huh?”
Thunk.
At the end of the hallway the perverts thought was a dead end, stood a living armour, blocking the way. It seemed to be left behind by the female knights.
“What’s this? Is it blocking the way on purpose?”
“Let’s sneak inside. Maybe they’re taking a shower or something.”
“Or maybe they need a bathroom break.”
The perverts stepped around the living armour. That’s when—
Smash!
“Urgh!”
One of them threw up blood from the armour’s surprise attack.
“Wait…! This is being controlled—”
[You should’ve left when you had the chance.]
A red flash materialised from within the helmet of the living armour.
[You are weak, but that makes you the most dangerous.]
Bash! Bang! Smack!
The hunk of steel was merciless in dishing out its punishment. While the perverts were stunned at the overwhelming display of force, the armour lifted one of them up by the scruff of the neck.
[You look like one of those thugs who prey on the weak on the first few floors, but, this time, you picked the wrong people to mess with.]
“Ugh… W-wait…!”
[Let me help you if you want to have sex that badly.]
The armour chucked the man into the nearby cave.
“Ugh…”
He got up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“What the fuck?!”
“It’s what you deserve for thinking with your cock.”
“And who are you?”
The thief with dark blue hair smirked.
“You must’ve thought we were weak just because we were on the third floor. Sorry to disappoint you.”
Squelch.
Something sinister loomed from behind the man.
“You tried to rape women, so I guess it’s a fitting end for you to get raped to death by a monster.”
“What?!”
[There are no laws once you step inside the Labyrinth. It’s the ending they deserve.]
The armour gave the man a final, firm push on his chest.
[You’ll die after getting raped by a female monster… Maybe you’ll learn to like it before you die.]
“Ahhhhh!”
[Think about it like this. Isn’t it better to get fucked to death, than to be beaten to death?]
