The quest named 【Heavily Besieged Maze】 was what awaited me after breaking through the second floor and arriving at the third floor.
Different from the first and second floor, this floor was just like a typical dungeon with a huge maze spreading inside.
The rule of this quest was simple as I only needed to choose the correct path and reach the goal. However, the monsters that appeared in the maze were going to be the problem.
______
【Skeleton Knight】
・Recommended level to subjugate: 6000
・Undead that moves in the form of a skeleton. Will fearlessly fight back even while receiving damage.
______
【Skeleton Magician】
・Recommended level to subjugate: 6500
・Undead that moves in the form of a skeleton. Can use various types of magic.
______
Although this was the first time I've actually seen them, they're a fairly common monster in the other dungeons. Among those two, the most dangerous one was the Skeleton Magician.
The third floor was as expected of a maze. The width of the roadside was quite narrow, hence making it difficult to avoid the magic cast by the Skeleton Magician.
In addition, the skeletons also gathered their companions from around them as soon as they discovered me. I genuinely thought I was going to die when they attacked from the front and behind at the same time.
But don't worry. Even in such a dangerous situation, it would be fine! Yes, as long as I have [Transfer Within Dungeon]!
"Transfer Within Dungeon!"
By using [Enemy Detection], I checked whether there was a monster or not in the passage on the other side of the wall before transferring with [Transfer Within Dungeon]. By doing this, I was able to advance while avoiding the battle.
But the only problem was that this maze was by no means ordinary and quite vast. Even after using [Enemy Detection] to the limit of the range, I still don't know where was the goal.
"At least, I have an idea where it is, though."
When I used [Enemy Detection], I found that there was a large number of monsters only in a certain direction. And they were even scattered as if protecting something. That being the case, it would be natural to guess that the goal was in there.
"I'm not sure whether I could pass this amount of monsters just by using [Transfer Within Dungeon], but guess I have no choice but to do it."
Resolving myself, I headed there while using [Stealth].
Although there were cases where I had encountered some monsters, I was able to escape from difficult situations by instantly killing them before they called more skeletons.
And finally, I arrived at that place.
"I found it…"
Even though I've passed through this complicated maze so far, apparently the last thing that awaits me at the goal was approximately100 meters of a big straight path.
Beyond the straight path existed a shining area–the goal. And since an image of the goal was shown before the start of the quest, I am sure this was not a trap.
"It's only a short distance to reach the goal but… there is no way it would be that easy, right…"
Numerous skeletons were enshrined on the straight path to the goal with several packs for every dozen of the skeletons. And if I don't surmount these monsters, I can't reach the goal.
"_-! These sounds are!"
The footsteps of hundreds of monsters could be heard from behind. Even though my [Stealth] should have still been activated, it seems they found me here due to some sort of method.
