101. A-class survival gate.

“Attention, aerial magic knights! Grab any soldier one by one and enter the labyrinth gate!”

As soon as my order was given, the aerial magic knights flew in at a rapid pace, carrying the soldiers guarding the gate and entering the A-class labyrinth gate.

“All Lutes officers, get in! Hurry up!”

Then Prince Arc and Officer Lutes, who had been waiting in the tent, ran and entered the gate.

“3rd Battalion! Enter orbital gigantic!”

Drrrrr! Drrrrr!

Two orbital giants also entered.

“Phelps! We’re in!”

“yes!”

So Phelps and I flew into the labyrinth gate.

I really want to fry beans over lightning!

‘Now! Close it quickly!’

***

Darkness! And then the vision gradually becomes brighter.

Surely it’s not like it’s splitting in all directions like an S-class labyrinth gate?

“Beware of the four pillars!”

“Beware of the four pillars!”

A sense of relief came over me at the sound of the soldiers’ voices.

[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.3).]

I quickly looked around.

“There is a collapsed wall on the right. Gather there!”

“Move to the wall quickly!”

This was an open field.

If a dimensional monster attacks, there is nowhere to run.

Fortunately, the collapsed castle and walls were visible 1km ahead, so we moved there.

And you can immediately check if anyone is entering the gate.

Drrrrr! Drrrrr!

The fast orbital giant arrived first and took up position.

The aerial magic knights moved, escorting the officers and soldiers.

A status window pops up.

[Defeat the Dimensional Monster Army! (A-Rank)]

[Mission: Some intelligent dimensional monsters have a tendency to form groups. You will need to learn various strategies and tactics to deal with multiple monsters.]

[Clear Condition: Survive for 30 days.]

[The gate opens after 30 days and closes after 24 hours.]

[Number of Entrants: (169/1,000), Current Surviving Number of Entrants – (169/1,000)]

[Hint: Watch out for flying wyverns (A-grade)! There are secret bases everywhere.]

‘A survival mission? And it’s a class A flying monster!’

Life never gets easy.

Still, since there are secret elf bases all over the place, I guess I can farm.

“Captain! Someone came in.”

At Major Phelps’ words, I closed the status window and looked at the gate.

There were about 50 air magic knights there.

‘Oh no, the gate isn’t closed yet.’

That was it!

[Time remaining – 29 days 23:59:59]

The countdown has begun.

The gate is finally closed.

Close a little early.

So close.

‘No, it’s a survival mission, so there’s no need to fight.’

For now.

“Phelps, prepare for battle!”

“Yes! Prepare for battle! Hurry up!”

Swish! Swish swish!

The troops took up positions in the air, and the orbital giant aimed its cannon at the labyrinth gate.

After a while!

The Arika Airlines Magic Knights who were at the entrance flew in.

But as it got closer it slowed down.

and.

The Telfert Draw Chief approached with a reddened frown.

“Everyone stand by!”

I also moved forward slowly.

Carrying an assault rifle.

“What are you doing?”

He started shouting right away.

“As you can see, we entered the Labyrinth Gate at the request of the Kingdom of Lutes.”

“what?”

“It was the Lutes Kingdom army that first discovered the Labyrinth Gate, and isn’t this the land of the Lutes Kingdom?”

“We have permission to attack the Labyrinth Gate, granted by Commander-in-Chief Lutes.”

“Really? I didn’t see it. I just received a request from the commander of the Southern Defense Forces who controlled this place. And between us, what power does Commander-in-Chief Lutes have? The political world is already completely controlled by the Republic of Arica.”

“this person!”

What can I do if I didn’t know?

Chief Telfert ground his teeth.

“I don’t think this is a good time to be discussing that. Look at that mountain range over there.”

Director Telfert turned his head slightly to the side.

There were several small bird-like things flying there.

It looks very small, but if you can see it here, you can see how big the wyvern is.

“And you saw the mission status window. Right now, survival comes first. We need to give it our all and get out of the gate together.”

He stepped back and slightly raised the gun.

“Or maybe it ends here.”

As I moved, my men behind me also aimed their guns at me.

“Huh! You cheeky brat. Let’s just wait and see!”

Where did the saying that those who wait and see aren’t scary come from?

It’s a little scary.

Chief Telfert turned around.

Unless you’re an idiot, you know that fighting here will be a loss.

In a survival mission, it is advantageous to have at least one more person alive.

And if you shoot here, all the surrounding monsters will swarm you.

Captain Telfert and the Arica Aviation Magic Knights flew east.

They’ve also seen the status window, so they’ll look for the secret base first.

Returned to the group.

“Be on guard around Phelps.”

“yes!”

I approached Prince Arc.

“Huh! You’re out of your mind.”

“That must be it. Still, you entered the labyrinth gate safely.”

“Was it your idea to bring the soldiers in?”

“I couldn’t help it. I had to match the number of awakened people as much as possible.”

“Thank you.”

Prince Arc also nodded.

Even if you are an ordinary soldier, if you awaken, you will become a magic knight.

Arc was not a closed-minded person.

“But will things be okay from now on?”

Prince Arc looked worried as he watched the flying Captain Telfert and the Arica Aerial Magic Knights.

“It will be okay for the time being.”

The Telfert and Arica Aviation Magic Knights will move when their survival time is running out.

The Arika Madou Knights, with Audrey and Lieutenant Colonel Nicole, were more than enough for my men to deal with, but the problem was Major General Telfert.

Looking closely, he was in his early 50s, so they said he was past his prime, but he was still an active named-level knight, and his level was probably much higher than mine.

There will also be many awakening skills.

So, we need to prepare to fight him in advance.

You have to stop the monsters, awaken the soldiers, and prepare to fight the named magic knights.

It looks like it’s going to be a busy month.

“The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions are guarding the soldiers here.”

“yes!”

“Phelps and the 4th Battalion are following me.”

“yes!”

First, we had to find the secret base.

***

“Huh! It’s a reptilian monster.”

Phelps discovered a lizardman-like dimensional monster in the surrounding swamp.

“The monsters really live in groups. They live in such large numbers······.”

Lieutenant John Cutter frowned.

At first glance, it looked like there were hundreds of monsters living together.

[Croptiles (C-Grade) – A dimensional monster that forms a group.

They walk on two legs and use their strong tail to keep their balance, allowing them to change direction freely.

Although they are small, standing between 2 and 3 meters tall, they are very ferocious and aggressive, considering all but their own kind as enemies.

They have very fast legs, an agile body, and good coordination, allowing them to hunt and eat monsters of dimensions much larger than themselves.

2, 3 meters is small?

Besides, most of the croptiles were holding spears.

It looked quite sturdy, probably made from monster bones, and there were even axes and bone knives made from monster teeth.

Judging from the huts, it was clear that they knew how to use tools to some extent. And occasionally, a commander who was a head taller than Croptiles was seen.

They were elite, B-class dimensional monsters.

‘Looking at them, the orcs are noble······.’

I shook my head without realizing it, thinking that I had to fight against those things.

And on one side, there was also the corpse of a giant dimensional monster, about 20 meters tall, that appeared to have been hunted by Croptile.

It was already half eaten.

I signaled to my men and quietly retreated.

When I saw Croptile, I thought I had to find the secret base quickly.

If we encounter them now, we can run away, but our soldiers will most likely die.

We flew south on purpose.

The north was a mountain range, and that was the wyvern’s territory.

***

While searching the southwestern jungle, we found another group of Croptiled.

It seemed like there were groups of croptiles scattered all over the place like landmines.

I turned and headed southeast.

“Over there! There’s something!”

It was captured by my excellent body vision.

A large square wall in the middle of the jungle with a steel structure in the center!

Besides, there was a river not far away.

“It’s definitely an elf base.”

Phelps said.

The walls were already covered in vines, and the steel structure was crumbling in places, but it was clearly an elven construction that still maintained its appearance after all this time.

Fortunately, the base’s outer walls were intact, as they had not been attacked by dimensional monsters.

“Phelps, bring everyone here!”

“yes!”

“You all follow along.”

“Is that okay? The Arika Airlines Magic Knights may appear.”

“It’s okay. I can run away as much as I want if I’m alone.”

“Still, be careful.”

“I get it.”

Phelps and the 4th Battalion flew north.

It takes about 2 hours from here to the entrance of the labyrinth gate.

If you use the high-speed flight skill, you’ll arrive sooner.

Of course, it would take several times longer for regular soldiers to arrive.

This is a reasonable distance to the gate.

The height of the base’s outer wall is about 20 meters.

The door was broken, but it could be rebuilt.

The iron buildings inside the base are also collapsed in some places, but they seem usable if repaired.

I entered the building carefully.

‘Huh? There are stairs leading down to the basement.’

Somehow I had a good feeling.

I turned on the lamp and slowly went down.

There was no problem going down as there was absolutely nothing to get in the way of the stairs or passageways.

And soon a large space appeared.

“Ugh! It smells terrible. I have to hurry up and check it out!”

The sour smell was giving me a headache.

But my passion for farming can’t be stopped.

Is it because too much time has passed?

The elven heritage was nowhere to be seen, perhaps having completely eroded away in the damp air.

This is a dud······.

I turned on the dimensional detector, but there was no response.

I walked around and knocked on the walls.

Thump thump thump!

It was too easy to get into this place to call it a secret base.

Then there might be a secret research lab inside, like a military factory.

Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!

Empty!

“uh!”

The sound is different.

A sound as if the inside is empty.

Well then, here is the device that can open······.

there is!

A half-broken handle was visible.

I pulled the handle.

Crunch! Crunch! Boom!

One wall opened up coolly.

And then the ceiling lights came on.

This was a characteristic of the elven secret base.

‘As expected, I’m the best at farming.’

There was a passageway so I went in.

And soon after, another space appeared.

The atmosphere here is a bit different.

The atmosphere was completely different from the secret lab I had seen before.

Steel limbs the size of a human body were spread out in a mess, and weapons were hung here and there.

And on one wall stood a row of five steel fighting figures.

‘This is too elaborate!’

The steel battle dolls currently in my workshop were stolen from the subspace warehouse of the 7th Princess of the Scarlet Empire.

It was quite crude and looked like a tin can, but the steel fighting doll in front of me looked almost human.

Of course, since it was made by an elf, it would be very similar to an elf.

I took a closer look at the status window.

[Dimensional Marionettes – Steel fighting puppets that move on their own.

The soul must be drawn from the abyss and settled.

[You need a Dimensional Core Fragment to move the Dimensional Marionette.]

As soon as I read the description, I felt like I was hit in the back of the head.

This was almost identical to the description of the most basic homunculus that an alchemist could create once he reached S rank.

In particular, the ability to draw souls from the abyss and settle them was a unique ability that only alchemists could possess.

Is there an elf alchemist?

But this is the Earth Hunter class······.

‘Or is it the alchemist hunter who came to the elven dimension?’

Suddenly my head became complicated.

It was also clear that the external sphere drawn on the capsule where Iris was sleeping was also created by an alchemist.

Is the labyrinth gate that was created in the elf dimension connected to Earth?

But they said it was a destroyed world…

I never thought the Earth would be destroyed.

Even when I was locked up, there were three SSS-rank hunters.

There were dozens of S-class hunters.

‘It was a good thing I brought Saint Veronica.’

I was planning to find the labyrinth gate of the destroyed world here.

If it’s not here either, you’ll have to take it to the S-rank labyrinth gate.

First, I put the five dimensional marionettes in the alchemist’s workshop.

Now that I’ve become an S-rank alchemist, there’s no need to create a separate homunculus.

The body has already been created, so all that is left is to bring the soul from the abyss.

But it moves with dimensional core fragments?

Not the philosopher’s stone?

A philosopher’s stone that can be made by S-rank alchemists.

I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s made with dimensional energy.

Then the Philosopher’s Stone is a piece of the dimensional core!

Somehow, it felt like everything had been prepared by an alchemist.

Chirrrrrr!

An eerie sound coming from behind.

When I turned my head, a giant snake was entering this space through the passage.

For a moment, a sour smell hit my nose.

‘Ah! This is that guy’s nest.’

It’s a class A dimensional monster!

The creature’s body length was at least 50 meters, and its torso appeared to be about 2 meters thick.

A giant snake came towards me with its tongue flickering.

I stood still.

Until he gets fully in here.

‘Now is the time!’

[Use the High-Speed ​​Flight (lv.3) skill.]

Paaaaang!

As soon as I confirmed that the tail was in, I flew into the passage.

At that moment, the bastard’s head suddenly turned and he chased after me.

“Kkaaaah!”

Shhhhhh!

It was so close that I could smell the bastard’s foul breath.

[Use the High-Speed ​​Flight (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

Paaaaang!

In an instant, I passed through the hallway and headed towards the stairs.

I put some distance between me and the guy, but he still follows me.

Came out of the base.

But I didn’t go up high.

I continued to lure the guy by flying low.

‘There was a bunch of Croptiles nearby!’

If I was going to have to fight a bunch of Croptiled anyway, this was a chance to get to know their fighting style and physical abilities.
