Chapter 11: Conquering Labyrinth
It's about a month since I delved into the true Orcus labyrinth.
During this time, I have variously trained my magic. I have recreated some of the magic that was shown in anime.
Currently, I am fighting against some wolf monsters. Well, it's more like slaughtering them with my magic.
"<Water lance>"
I conjured 5 water lances beside me and fired them at the 5 wolves. It hit straight on their heads, instantly killing them. "5 down, well that should be enough for today's food."
"Sigh."
I wonder when I will be able to eat proper food again. Every day eating boiled monster meat, and grilled meat is getting boring, but to stop my hunger I will have to eat it. I still remember when I tried to eat monster meat for the first time.
'Flashback'
Currently, I am scared shitless before eating monster meat. I tried to find the elixir stone but in my current area, there were none around.
I am sure I won't die even without Elixir.
So, I prepared my healing magic and chomped down the grilled rabbit meat. In taste, it was a bit gamey but otherwise fine to eat. It is good that my dad's training in the wild came in handy here. After I took the first bite, I was ready for the pain to come but nothing like that happened. I was confused so I opened my status.

"..."
It worked but why didn't I feel any pain like Hajime?
After thinking for a minute I understood why I didn't feel pain. This world's human body was not built to handle raw magic. So, Hajime after eating monster meat, his body went through a painful process of mutation in a way where his body could hold raw magic.
and
In my case, I already have Archmage, blank, and adaptive body. My body adapted for 7 years slowly changing, and adjusting my body to hold magic without problems.
It was good that my body was used to taking in high amounts of magic. If I weren't I would have gone through something similar to Hajime's painful transformation.
'Flashback end'
Compared to my status back then, my current status has doubled and I have gained some new skills.

===<<End >>===
Well, I have done enough training until now. "It's about time I start going down the labyrinth. My first Age of God magic and Hajime here I come."
I used my new skill Mana skin. It's a skill that covers my whole body with a layer of mana and protects my body from harmful substances. This skill is also from an anime called Black Clover. Let's get going.
In an instant, I disappeared from that place to find Hajime. At this point, he should have reached the final floor or at least close to it.
While Rihito was searching for Hajime from the top of the true Orcus labyrinth.
Hajime and his new partner Yue were preparing for the final fight against the 100th floor boss.
Hajime, "Everything is ready let's go Yue."
Yue, "Yes."
They both entered the boss's room.
Meanwhile, I was in front of the room where Yue was trapped.
It has been about a day since Rihito started to search for Hajime. Rihito hadn't found any clue until now.
"Hmmm…"
I saw 2 giant bodies lying dead, half of their body missing and their eyes were destroyed, probably Hajime's doing. I ignored them and entered. There I found the large stoney monster lying dead. Some parts of the shell were missing.
"I found it." This shell will be the perfect ore to create my new weapons. My previous weapon broke while fighting monsters.
I will put a teleportation marker here. After I get my hands on that Age of God magic I gonna create some awesome weapon out of it.
"Hehehe…" It will be so much fun.
Suddenly, the whole Labyrinth was shaken.
"..."
"Oh, they are fighting the last boss without me no fair", I hurriedly blitz towards the boss room. It took me about 10 min to get there. "Damn it why can't there be a straight pathway toward here". Just when I stopped in front of the door another large explosion occurred.
Booom!!!
I pushed the door open and saw both Hajime and Yue using their final attack on a large monster that looked like a land dragon. Hajime wearing an eye patch on his left eye was using a futuristic-looking gun and Yue was about to cast a powerful magic spell. But suddenly the boss monster pulled back its head in its shell like a turtle. Both of their attack hit on its shell their attack did quite a bit of damage still it's not enough to kill it.
The monster pulled his head back out and was ready to fire a large beam out of his mouth.
Hajime cursed, "Shit." He hurriedly guarded Yue with his body to protect Yue.
Yue screamed out in sadness, "Nooo!".
The monster was ready to fire the magic beam at them. But a sudden shockwave came toward them and through them out from the trajectory of the magic breath. The breath misses them by a hair and both of them survive.
Hajime hurriedly looked in the direction where the shockwave had come from. Looking in that direction he was shocked. In shock, he called out "Rihito is that you".
"Who else could be this handsome except yours truly~," I joked with him.
"Well, we talk later let me handle the big guy first," I stated.
"We will help too," Hajime said.
"No, you 2 stay put, you guys are already too tired. I will finish this in an instant," after saying that a crimson magic aura covered my whole body.
I use a large amount of mana to conjure a magical object and shape it like a large Odachi, "this should do for now."
Hajime and Yue were baffled seeing so much magic coming out of Rihito's body.
Yue asked Hajime, "Is your friend really a human?"
Hearing Yue's Question Hajime didn't know how to answer her. But they became even more astonished when Rihito used a huge amount of mana to conjure a long-curved sword. The sheer amount that was used was more than twice Yue's entire magic reserves.
Yue unconsciously blurted out "Impossible."
Hajime asked, "What do you mean by impossible."
"Your friend used his magic to create a sudo physical object," hearing that Hajime was stunned and silent. He understood what Yue said, he also tried it once but failed because he did not have enough magic for it. The sheer amount of magic, time, and concentration needed to create a marble-sized object is astronomical. But Rihito did it in seconds without a sweat, it was unbelievable.
"This will be the first time for me to use these 2 skills with this much power."
The boss monster sensed danger coming from Rihito. Its senses are continuously sending warnings that humans? No, that thing is dangerous even more than those 2 pests.
The boss monster roared at that thing to intimidate but it did not affect that thing. I had to kill it first the monster thought. The monster immediately charged the largest amount of magic it could. Just when he was about to launch the attack. That thing's voice came like a whisper.
"Too slow," as I said that I disappeared from where I was standing.
<Speed Strike> <Flashing Slash>
I use both of them in Tandem.
Booom!!!
I sliced the monster's head into three chunks of meat.
Hajime seeing his friend's speed was baffled. First, it was that insane amount of magic and now his speed as well. He could barely see a blur.
Then Hajime remembered that in Rihito's status screen agility and magic were showing nothing. Hajime's eyes widen in realisation, [Could it be that his magic and agility are so high that the status plate couldn't measure it?]
