Sloan was so happy that he couldn't express it in words. His heart swelled with curiosity, as if he were a big dog going on a walk with his owner for the first time.
"Take my sword!"
The warrior, who seemed to have regressed to the level of a toddler, swung the holy sword around. As she went on adventures with him, the holy sword, which had grown heavier and heavier, broke down the walls of the maze that could even disable cannons.
"Intruder!"
"Krrr…!"
"Ah! It's a monster! It's definitely better than humans. At least it doesn't run away."
Unlike bandits or deserters who would run away if they showed even a little bit of their strength, most monsters rushed at Sloan because of their strong killing instinct.
Of course, even if you only had courage, you couldn't overcome the overwhelming difference in strength.
The wolf-shaped monster, Hell Beast, had its mouth ripped open so wide that it could not open, and the gorilla-like monster had its spine broken with a single punch.
"Die! Die, die, die!"
Sloan, who had started to run wild like that, was nothing but a murder tank. He just swung, kicked, swung his fists, or hit with objects he found.
At first glance, it looked like a child throwing a tantrum, but with her overwhelming power, her actions had a huge impact on the entire maze.
"The rude chaos ends here!"
"Ouch! It's a huge skull!"
"This bitch…! I am the first servant of the great archmage. Hell… ."
"You know! You know! Are you strong?"
It was certainly fun exploring the maze. However, Sloan had yet to encounter an enemy strong enough to put him in danger. As a result, Sloan was starting to get bored and was intrigued by the Death Knight that suddenly appeared.
"Haha! You dare to talk about strength to me, a worthless piece of meat that can only live for 100 years? Oh, I haven't lost to you since I was taken in by you. For 300 years!"
"Oh…. But you don't have any life, how can you lift a sword!"
"I'll tell you clearly with that body!"
A black sword that was more than two meters long sliced through the air, trying to split Sloan's head apart. It was intended to smash the head of a woman who didn't know her place.
"Hey, it's nothing."
But Sloan grimaced in disappointment and roughly swung the holy sword upward.
The speed of reaction was certainly surprising, but the Death Knight sensed victory from the beginner's stance. The blade would now sink into his head.
Just as I was thinking that, the Death Knight's greatsword split in two. Crack-! A sharp sound was heard. The blazing black flames that had been emitting from the eyes suddenly dispersed.
"Nonsense!"
No. Death Knight tried to say that as a will. The holy sword rose upwards and cut through Death Knight's armor.
"It's not fun."
With a belated explosion, the Death Knight was shattered into pieces. The holy sword, swung with such a powerful evil force, displayed a power similar to that of accumulated gunpowder.
"Oh my! If you keep going wild like this… . Even the sleeping gods will wake up. Right?"
"Hey! Hey! It's Camilla. Hello! "
Hearing the sound of a fight from afar, the wizard instinctively felt that his comrade was nearby and ran straight to the teleporter. Sloan's face brightened at the joy.
But Camilla wasn't like that.
'
"Do you have any thoughts or not! Listen carefully. The opponent is a lich! And she's a thousand-year-old bitch! In terms of magical skills alone… She's stronger than anything I've ever built up."
"Is that it?"
Far from being frightened by meeting a strong enemy, Sloan was delighted.
That would be the case. Weren't the enemies he had encountered so far too weak? Since starting his adventure, the warrior had never encountered a strong enemy and wanted to fight for his life.
After that, the two of them roamed the maze, beating up all sorts of monsters. With the addition of the wizard, there was no one who dared to block their path.
Contrary to Camilla's concerns, Sloan was never dared to be stopped.
"Uuuu… . It was really scary."
"Is it scary…?"
The group of warriors, including Riley (who was surrounded by corpses of monsters with their heads sunken in from maces), set out to find the other two.
Of course, there were a lot of things that happened along the way, from people claiming to be Richie's subordinates to strange traps.
However, since even a single warrior could not stop them, and they were supported by powerful firepower, there was no one who could dare stop them.
"Ah! Still, it's fun because there are a lot of numbers. But… Where did Valley and Elisa go? I think it's time to go out."
"I can't believe I only just remembered that important fact now….'
Sloan, who felt like he was at an amusement park, suddenly remembered something important: he had to find the rest of his group.
"I guess it's time to go back now? Ah, it's a shame."
"Sloan!"
"Okay, I get it. Okay, I get it. Let's go quickly. Phew… ."
"No, that's not it. I sense life over there?"
There are two signals that are affected by the life detection spell. One is small in size, and the other is larger.
It was a little jarring that one of them was kneeling, but I could tell it wasn't a monster.
"Valley and Elisa. I think they're in that room. The entrance is sealed with complicated magic."
"Really? Let's take it out quickly."
Sloan raised his sword. The heavy holy sword, which made anyone who saw it shiver, emitted a noble light.
'You're wrapping your sword around your body? That's ridiculous. You've already grown this much.'
A technique that extracts the mana within the body and sprays it out through the sword… Sloan used it without a second thought, something that only a few knights could use.
Camilla covered her mouth with her hand in shock at the fact. Was she always this strong?
'It's really disappointing to see. Is there anything like this? If I had that much talent, I would have defeated the Demon King a long time ago.'
The warrior raised her sword above her head. It took a lot of strength to lift a heavy sword like that. She felt like she was lifting a feather.
"Eeeelisaaah! I'm here! Me! Just wait right there! I'll be there to save you!"
Step on the floor. Move your back foot slightly back.
He swung his sword into the air. The space was distorted by the powerful wave of force, and a mass of energy poured out from the white sword body.
Only a wizard can manifest magical power. Sloan distorted the phenomenon with pure power and focused it on his sword.
The room protected by powerful magic was shattered by this overwhelming blow. The irrational attack was a denial of reality.
"Elisa?! Elisa!"
"… You little punk! Why are you suddenly stabbing me!"
For a moment, Camilla suspected that Sloan was going to tear them apart as well. Fortunately, such a tragedy did not occur.
A thick cloud of smoke settled over her. Elisa, who had jumped out of it, let out all her frustration and grabbed Sloan by the collar.
"Are you crazy?! Are you crazy?! We almost died!"
"No, why… . You calculated it all and swung it!"
"Stop talking nonsense! You, you ripped the Valley clothes."
No, really? But judging from what you're saying, it doesn't seem to hurt. Thankfully.
'It's strange. I clearly read the sound and swung it.'
Elisa's clothes are intact, but Valley's clothes are torn. What kind of ridiculous coincidence is this?
Sloan realized something, but didn't show it on his face. It seemed like something was going on.
"Okay. Sorry! You can buy it later. Let's get out of here for now."
"… Valley! It's okay. Come this way."
A small man with a staggering physique ran out through the smoke.
"Sorry… . I'm sorry. My clothes are all torn."
"Huh? Huh?!"
His attire was… . It was embarrassing to describe in words. The leather he usually wore was a mess, and the dagger hidden inside was jingling and falling off.
Especially the pants part…. The thigh area was torn, so to anyone who saw it, it looked like she had been raped.
"Sorry."
Only then did Sloan realize what he had done.

Once the group gathered, solving the maze was easy.
Because if the road was blocked, I could just break it and pass. And on top of that, this fucking skeleton-bun was even showing me the way with his thoughts.
[Yes, yes… . You can go there. Oh! There's a sulfur trap ahead. You should go back a little further.]
'I'll just go.'
[No! If the poisonous gas causes any problems to your precious body!]
It took a while because of the annoying loyalty. Anyway, we… .
"Finally outside!"
I'm out of this damned maze. Ah! I never thought I'd be happy about this disgusting smell!
"By the way, is it still an underground waterway? If so!"
So, we were just sucked into Richie's mind world, and we didn't really move.
This means that.
[Oh, you escaped from my maze. What bad luck. I would have been happier if you had died there… But you have decided to oppose me. Good, since that is the path you have chosen, I will not hold any grudges!]
That means you have to fight Lich. He's stronger than the Demon King.
"Yeah, you were there!"
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
The first to run was the warrior, Sloan. She eagerly drew her holy sword and swung it. Her posture was quite comical, but her power was not at all.
[How foolish. Using a sword like that in such a narrow space…]
At that moment, Richie's eyes widened. The wall of the culvert that the sword had collided with split like butter. Despite the friction, the sword's speed did not slow down at all.
[This ignorant bitch! How strong is her power!]
Realizing that if he was hit directly, there was no other way but death, Lich quickly teleported away.
[Whew, good. I admit it. Your sword is definitely close to my neck.]
It couldn't be anything other than a wonderful blow. Sloan is a swordsman who only knows how to hold a sword, but doesn't know how to swing it. Naturally, it takes less strength, and if you do it wrong, you can twist your feet.
Only strength. The brute force from those thin brown arms solved everything.
[But realize that you cannot defeat me with force, warrior.]
The creature opened its mouth and produced a green arrow, firing it at Sloan.
It was an arrow of plague. A curse that only high-ranking undead could use. Even Sloan couldn't hit it directly, so he twisted his body to dodge the arrow.
"Barrier!"
"Oh my god!"
The arrow that flew backwards hit Camilla's mana barrier in front. Sizzle! It melted the materialized mana, releasing corrosive smoke.
As Riley prayed, light spread out, vaporizing several of the plague arrows that flew in one after another into thin air.
"Ugh…! This evil spirit is too strong! I was able to block a few shots, but… if I get hit a few more times like this, I'm in big trouble!"
"Damn it! Leviathan!"
The sewage flowing in the culvert wriggled and formed the shape of a dragon at her command. The dragon, which was 10 meters long and 3 meters thick, opened its mouth wide and tried to swallow Lich.
[You want to challenge me with magic? Hahahaha! You're five hundred years too early!]
Pfft! The water dragon burst out in all directions with green smoke. A wave of several tens of tons surged forward, instantly reaching up to my waist.
I barely managed to hold out without being pushed back. The Rich guy was preparing his next order. There wasn't a single drop of water on his white body…
[Poor ones! Your journey ends here!]
Richie growled and spread his hands. The dragon Camilla had summoned appeared with its mouth wide open.
Four or five of them.
