Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Labyrinth Chapter: 88, Fire

The moment I realized my situation.

Countless monsters roared and screamed, rushing towards them like a tide.

I almost subconsciously drew my two swords and jumped up from the ground. My originally exhausted body once again radiated infinite strength in the face of extreme crisis.

At the same time, the monster army overwhelmed me.

The secret of the Sword God style.

【Light Sword】

As I swung forward with the strongest and fastest blow, the sharp and surging sword energy cut all the monsters blocking my way in half, and a temporary vacuum area appeared in front of me.

However, this was of no use.

Monsters continued to pour in from all directions. Every corner visible to the naked eye was filled with monsters surging in endlessly, as if this was a real hell.

I immediately changed my tactics and used the secret technique of the Water God Style [Cut] to cut off the attacking monsters one by one, and used the corpses of the killed monsters to form a defensive wall.

At the same time, I forced myself to calm down.

The brain starts to work rapidly.

First of all, I should have triggered the trap in the transfer maze, similar to the one that Roxy had triggered.

It was so hidden that I didn't notice it at all.

But this is not the issue to consider now.

Can I go back through the transfer magic circle I used when I came here...

The answer is probably not.

That magic circle is one-way and became completely ineffective after teleporting me here.

Should we say it is worthy of being called a transfer maze?

It’s really hard to guard against.

I looked at the seemingly endless army of monsters rushing towards me, and the joy I had originally felt from defeating the Nine-headed Dragon had disappeared. Unlike the Nine-headed Dragon, which was a powerful single monster, what really gave me a headache was the battle in front of me where I was surrounded by a large number of monsters.

...Will I die?

Once this idea appears, it is like a spot of ink on a white T-shirt.

Lingering no matter what.

I will die.

I lack the ability to deal with this situation, and I am not good at long-term battles.

It is precisely because of these reasons that I try to avoid conquering mazes, because it is something I cannot accomplish no matter how hard I try.

Without the help of Paul and the others, I would not be able to sneak into the deepest part of the maze on my own.

The same is true in reverse.

I couldn't get out of the maze on my own without help from others.

Looking at the endless tide of monsters, there is no end in sight no matter how hard you try to kill them.

Despair began to spread in my heart...

Yet at the same time.

The face of the girl with long black hair appeared and disappeared before my eyes.

calm down!

Calm down!

I can't die here.

That's right, I can't die yet.

Qixing is still waiting for me to return, and Rudeus should be searching desperately as well.

I believe in the brotherhood between us.

Even if he has to turn the entire maze upside down, he will definitely rescue me.

The magic crystals are sufficient, and the strength of the monsters is not difficult to deal with. I have learned some water magic and fire magic, and I have the basic survival ability. Perhaps it is for this moment that I learned magic from Rudeus.

Yes, I can survive.

Now we need to first clear out the monsters around us, and then try to move closer.

See if you can find a space where you can temporarily isolate the monsters and rest.

If not, just dig one out yourself.

no problem.

Even if it is a trap, it is impossible to ensure complete death.

You will definitely find a way to survive.

I promised everyone that I would return alive.

While we still have enough strength, we must act immediately and do everything possible to increase our chances of survival.

Let's start by clearing out the monsters around us.

I thought so.

However, the next moment.

A sweet and fishy smell suddenly emerged from the depths of the throat without warning.

I coughed violently and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Blood?

Looking at the blood staining my chest, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I shouldn't be injured...

next moment.

A violent feeling of discomfort surged from within my body like a tide.

The body that was originally able to be controlled freely suddenly became extremely heavy as if the wires were broken. All the internal organs seemed to be stirred and it was almost impossible to breathe.

Dule disease attack?

Now! ?

I gritted my teeth, resisting the intense discomfort in my body. I swung my sword with all my might, sweeping away the surrounding monsters. Then I quickly took out the healing magic scroll I had brought with me and tried to solve the problem myself.

It didn't work.

The healing magic scroll is ineffective.

Not only was it useless, it seemed to make my symptoms even worse. My internal organs felt like they were twitching and tangled together, and the tidal pain almost overwhelmed me.

The sword that he could still hold was completely released at this moment.

I still have enough strength left to hold the sword...

They have all disappeared.

Yeah.

That's right.

I realized I was going to die here.

I successfully rescued Paul and helped those in need, as I hoped.

And my mission ends here.

So I no longer have any need to live.

Damn it...

I clearly still want to live, and there are clearly people waiting for me to come back.

Is this the end of the story?

Looking at the monster that was coming again.

I staggered and collapsed on the ground, with only a bitter smile on my face.

As Dulay's disease took hold, my vision began to blacken, and the pain and discomfort in my body made it impossible to move. There were endless monsters around me, and I was doomed no matter what.

My arms were shaking.

Using the last of his strength, he removed the guard on his left arm.

A summoning magic scroll carefully prepared by the girl fell out from it.

This is my last trump card.

I don't know if it will be useful, but now I have no choice but to pin my hopes on it.

I poured all the magic power from the magic crystals I carried with me into the magic circle.

As the magic circle lights up with colorful summoning light.

The black box, as heavy as a coffin, appeared in the cave.

I wanted to open the box, but I no longer had any strength left. I could only watch helplessly as the attacking monster overwhelmed me and the summoned box.

A last look before falling into darkness.

I saw the black box being crushed by the steel crawler.

next moment.

I lost consciousness.

……

……

Endless monsters flooded Ron's body.

The monsters were like blood-thirsty bats, constantly tearing and gnawing at Ron's battered body.

Tear the muscles, crush the bones, and drink the blood.

Less than half a minute.

The originally strong and powerful body has turned into a pile of rags.

As the belly was opened, the internal organs were exposed to the air.

The monsters gnawed at the entrails silently.

Heart, liver, stomach, lungs, kidneys...

The existence named Ron gradually disappeared from this world bit by bit.

however.

at this time.

In the crushed black box, the piece of meat that looked like it was made of black iron began to move as if it had self-awareness.

It knocked away the surrounding monsters and quickly wrapped up Ron, who had been eaten by monsters and had half of his body disappeared.

The black piece of flesh covered the damaged internal organs and began to try to fill in the missing parts.

I do not know how long it has been.

The broken heart began to beat again.

And the amplitude of the beating was more energetic than ever before.

Then there are muscles, bones, blood...
