The Reincarnated Extra - Ch. 451
* * *
Zugan!
Zugagaan!
Gagaga… gaga…!
After several crashing sounds, my body, which had transformed into a bullet, seems to have stopped moving.
“…………”
Sensing that from the vibrations in my body, I pulled the 【Black Arms】, which had transformed into a bullet shape, back into my body.
And what jumped into my view… was a dimly lit passageway.
This passage, barely wide enough for two or three people to stand side by side, is made of a dark, metallic material, and a hard ‘kon-kon’ sound echoes when you kick the walls or floor.
The magic lamps embedded in the lower part of the walls, and the light bulb-like magic lamps placed at equal intervals on the ceiling, provide enough light to see nearby objects, but…
“…………”
Looking up, this passage continues endlessly… far into the distance, and with this little light, I can’t see what’s there.
Hmm… where is this?
Didn’t I break through the outer wall and reach Neverfall’s city?
Extra-sama immediately answered my question.
Neverfall… Sky Underground Labyrinth!?
Sky!?
Underground!?
Which is it!?
The control AI… expanded it?
Why?
…Haa…
So, if we try to seriously go through this passage… it’ll be quite difficult?
But, that said…
I turned around and sighed.
It would have been nice if the hole I made when I fell through was still there, but… it’s completely buried in rubble.
Dig through the rubble and go back to the city…
I can do it, you know?
I did it when I escaped from that underground ruin before.
But even though I can do it, do I want to do it…? No, I don’t.
It’ll be dirty, and troublesome…
Ehh…?
Extra-sama, you’re not getting into the sightseeing mood at this point, are you?
Geez, Extra-sama…
Well, it can’t be helped…
I sighed, acting exasperated…
…But inwardly, I was quite excited, just like Extra-sama!
I started walking down the passage of the Great Neverfall Sky Underground Labyrinth, with a renewed sense of purpose!
And then… the next moment!
Gachan!!
That metallic sound rang out above me.
And then, immediately…
A sharp iron blade, reminiscent of a guillotine…!
Fell straight towards my head!
Ignoring Extra-sama’s warning.
The iron blade accurately hit my head… and…
…Was cut in half…
…The blade, that is.
Well, yeah.
But normally, you’d die from that.
Quite the killing intent, isn’t it?
I continued walking, leisurely discussing the labyrinth’s traps with Extra-sama.
And then… the next moment!
Bashun!
That launching sound rang out beside me.
And then, immediately.
An incredibly sharp, iron spear!
Thrust out straight towards my side!
Ignoring Extra-sama’s warning.
The iron spear accurately hit my side and…
…Bent…
…The spear, of course.
Well, yeah.
But normally, you’d die from that too.
Quite the killing intent, isn’t it?
I continued walking, leisurely discussing the labyrinth’s traps with Extra-sama.
And then… the next moment!
Bushuwaaa!!
That spraying sound rang out beneath my feet.
And then, immediately…
As if to fill the space around me…!
A clearly harmful smoke, a color somewhere between pink and purple…!
Started spraying out!
Ignoring Extra-sama’s warning.
The smoke, which is probably poison, quickly filled the space around me…
Well, yeah.
I nodded and held my breath.
I can probably operate like this for about two hours.
I can easily get out of range of the poison.
Ah, but…
This smoke… being in contact with it makes my skin tingle…
It still has quite the killing intent…
* * *
Well, that’s how it went.
I continued deeper into the labyrinth, fully enjoying the gimmicks that kept coming at me, trying to kill me.
Surprisingly, none of these gimmicks were the same.
I could feel the control AI’s determination to ‘definitely kill any intruder!’
But… how should I put it…
It’s too easy for me…
I’m getting a little bored…
I yawned as I continued down the endless straight path.
And then, finally, before my eyes…
…A single door appeared, blocking the passage!
Extra-sama said in an excited voice.
I, too, was bored, so I happily opened the door!
And what was waiting for me there…!
…Was countless doors.
It was a large room, with countless doors, a junction of sorts.
So, whether I want to escape or reach the deepest part of this labyrinth.
I have to choose the right door from among these many doors…
And if I make a mistake, I might have to keep walking through a boring maze like before…
“…………”
I…
Somehow…
Completely lost my motivation.
