The Great Labyrinth

The Forest of Jura was a gigantic forest in the middle region of the Tensura World and was home to lots of species of almost everything from insects to animals to even monsters, it covered a wide area and was filled with dense trees and grass, while there were roads in the story that was almost two thousand years later with civilization increasing and advancing so at the time he had arrived, it was a dense forest with no clear paths.

Galahad slowly opened his eyes before frantically jumping to the side as the place he was lying in got blown to shreds, "Oh that....wouldn't have hurt me...." he said sighing before cutting the giant Black spider that had jumped on him into two pieces. He sat down again with an exasperated sigh, fucking Day 6 of roaming this damn forest and no damn clue about where the Labyrinth is! He looked around to see the location he was in burning a bit. "Stupid....fire." he lazily said before putting it out with his hand until it finally chanced upon him, "fire? Fire!"

He was a hundred percent sure that there were dryads keeping an eye on him after all he had felt several of them when using his 'Mana Echos' from time to time, and although he didn't have any fire magic, he could just use Magicule Converter for it, ignoring the excessive amount of magicules it consumed. He looked at his palm as a fireball appeared on it. "I'm going to.....burn this place down if you don't show yourself...." he said, just a bluff to draw out the Dryads since they were the guardians of the forest.

As per his expectation, leaves started swirling in front of him forming a small tornado before a green haired woman appeared in front of him, she had an appearance strikingly similar to Treyni's the only difference being she looked much younger and her hair was much longer than Treyni's. She frantically waved her hands around, "P-Please d-don't!" after all Galahad didn't exactly suppress his own aura giving him quite the intimidation factor.

He put the flames out and yawned while nodding, "Alright,.....but can you like lead me to the Labyrinth." he was quite annoyed by 7 days just being wasted like that but he also lazed around quite a bit during those days, often falling asleep due to the cool atmosphere so he wasn't that annoyed and getting him angry was almost impossible. She stared at him in surprise, "T-That's all?" they had been avoiding and observing in case he wanted to disturb the forest but if that was all it didn't warrant even an observation. Galahad nodded at her and she excitedly said, "Do you want to meet the fairy queen?! I get it, she's just the best!" Galahad backed away from her, this was completely different from what she was doing a few moments ago.

She awkwardly laughed and scratched the back of her head, "S-sorry I got a bit carried away." Galahad lazily nodded before saying, "So...can we go now?". The Dryad frantically nodded, "Of course! Follow me!" and shot off, they had previously seen some of his prowess so she was certain he would be able to keep up with her and right she was because Galahad was running after her and eventually caught up. One or two minutes later they arrived in front of a giant gate and Galahad gave a dry laugh, it looked like a typical fantasy world dungeon entrance, "Well this is where we part ways, tell me about it kay?!" the Dryad excitedly said before disappearing again.

"And like that she's gone." he said slowly before chuckling at his own reference and walking in completely unarmed, it was not like this was a labyrinth filled with monsters it was simply a maze with Ramiris being the Dungeon Master, she was broken in here. Walking in it was the same as the Labyrinth came in to with the kids, well of course it was since Treyni mentions it being the place, just for some reason it was filled with small lights and looked a lot more livelier than the anime version, he concluded that it was probably due to Ramiris still being the Queen and not a Demon Lord.

Sensing danger he quickly jumped to the side as the area behind him lit up in flames, "Begone!" a deep voice rumbled, as Galahad frantically ran while the places where he stepped blew up, "Wait....why am I running?" he sent out an echo and locating the attacker he vanished from his place and sent forth his fist, "Hah that won't hit a spiritu- UGH!" the fire spirit roared before being cut off with a punch to the face which sent it crashing into the floor. The bodies of Saints are a mixture of their physical and spiritual bodies so him being able to physically interact with spiritual entities was not that unsurprising.

Galahad picked him up and gave him an upper cut sending him into the air before appearing in front of him and punching him several hundred times within a few seconds, he pulled his fist back and hit him in the face and with a boom the spirit crashed in to the ground. Galahad landed and slowly walked over to him while drawing his sword, once he reached him he raised it above and slashed downwards stopping at his neck, Galahad quickly backed off and scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I got a bit....carried away." killing this guy would leave a very bad image of him on Ramiris and for now that wasn't necessary. He heard a girl's voice behind him, "Hey! Why'd you have to be that mean?"

Turning around Galahad came face to face with a more mature looking and human-sized Ramiris however seeing her Galahad smiled, it was obvious from that sentence alone that her personality was the same. He pointed at the near dead spirit on the ground, "Yes him! Just so you know I'm stronger than him ok?" she said flailing around him while staring at him up and down. "Heh! You're quite strong aren't you? But not more than me!" this nobody with armor thought he could beat her sell she would teach him respect, while he did no such thing that was what she made of it. He gave her a lazy salute, "Ok." from his experience in reading and watching Tensura, Ramiris was much more gullible if you just agreed with everything she said and didn't say no.

"Oh, looks like you do know!" Ramiris said with her arms folded, "....Yes." Galahad nodded before sitting down with a yawn, "Oh are you sleepy? You can sleep here if you want!" she told him while skipping around, "Really?!!" the offer was too enticing this place had a very nice atmosphere after all, but he coughed remembering his initial goal, "*ehm* maybe later, for now I have a request for the Great Fairy Queen Ramiris." if just praising her was more efficient simply do that, then sleep!

She folded her arms and raised her head, "Hmm! You can ask me! Go ahead!" looks like this guy knew how to respect her that was very good! after all she could blow him away with one punch if she wanted! Then she closely inspected his magicule reserves and aura and it was shocking they were far too great! But she could still beat him! Probably.
