***SIGN*** I have updates.
***SIGN*** The 4th, 8th, and 10th Corps are ready for deployment.
**[00:06] Ariel**
Thanks for that. Sounds like the
combat forces are all set to go.
***SIGN*** Can I ask you something?
**[00:12] Ariel**
What's up?
***SIGN*** Our forces will be passing through Queen Taratect territory during the march.
**[00:19] Ariel**
They're my offspring, y'know.
**[00:28] Ariel**
All spider monsters will do as I say.
**[00:32] Ariel**
You don't need to sweat it.
Just get our guys where they're going.
***SIGN*** All right.
**[00:37] Ariel**
Though I can remember one who
wasn't quite so obedient.
**[00:42] Ariel**
Anyway, let's get a move on.
**[00:44] Ariel**
We're taking the elf village down next.
**[00:55] K**
It's great to be alive.
***SIGN*** What Am I, Doing?
**[02:29] Basgath**
That oughta do it. I don't
sense any more monsters.
**[02:34] Hyrince**
Is everyone all right?
**[02:39] Shun**
Yeah.
**[02:40] Fil**
The monsters themselves aren't
that dangerous, to be honest.
**[02:44] Katia**
But it's really oppressive in here.
**[02:46] Katia**
Despite how massive this place is,
the darkness makes it feel claustrophobic.
**[02:50] Fei**
And these things popping out of nowhere
are enough to give you a heart attack!
**[02:54] Fei**
Come on, old timer, let's get a move on.
**[02:56] Basgath**
Nah. We're resting here for today.
**[03:00] Fei**
What are you talking about?
**[03:02] Fei**
We haven't even been in here that long.
**[03:05] Shun**
We're still good to keep traveling.
**[03:07] Shun**
The monsters haven't been
that strong, so far.
**[03:12] Basgath**
It's been five hours since
we entered the labyrinth.
**[03:17] Basgath**
I've seen plenty of adventurers
through the labyrinth,
**[03:20] Basgath**
but you folks are the first group
to make it so far, so fast.
**[03:23] Basgath**
It really shows that you've got
your act together. That said...
**[03:28] Basgath**
The monsters aren't the only
thing to worry about down here.
**[03:32] Hyrince**
Labyrinth sickness, right?
**[03:34] Katia**
Labyrinth sickness?
**[03:36] Basgath**
Yep. Not a single ray of
sunlight reaches down here.
**[03:40] Basgath**
It screws with your sense of time,
**[03:42] Basgath**
and you have to constantly
be on alert for monsters.
**[03:45] Basgath**
And that's on top of how suffocating it is.
**[03:48] Basgath**
The more you rush to get through,
the more you wear yourself out mentally,
**[03:51] Basgath**
and risk getting sick as a result.
**[03:53] Basgath**
That's labyrinth sickness.
**[03:55] Basgath**
No rushing.
**[03:57] Basgath**
You wanna get out of this hole alive,
**[03:59] Basgath**
you tackle one thing at a time,
as steady as possible.
**[04:07] Fei**
Shun?
**[04:10] Shun**
Understood.
**[04:17] Shun**
Where am I...
**[04:23] Shun**
Who is that?
**[04:26] Woman**
Proficiency threshold reached.
**[04:29] Woman**
Proficiency threshold reached.
**[04:31] Woman**
Proficiency threshold reached.
**[04:33] Woman**
Proficiency threshold reached.
**[04:37] Woman**
It hurts.
**[04:43] Shun**
Just a dream?
**[04:46] Fil**
Are you okay?
**[04:48] Shun**
Sensei?
**[04:50] Fil**
You were pretty restless.
**[04:53] Shun**
It's okay. Just had a bad dream.
**[04:58] Basgath**
I don't like the sound of that.
**[05:00] Shun**
You don't?
**[05:02] Basgath**
Damn right.
**[05:04] Basgath**
You ever hear about the Nightmare
of the Labyrinth?
**[05:07] Shun**
No.
**[05:08] Fil**
Isn't that the name of the
legendary-class monster
**[05:11] Fil**
that suddenly appeared in the
labyrinth over ten years ago?
**[05:14] Shun**
Legendary?
**[05:17] Shun**
The kind that humans can't deal with...
**[05:19] Shun**
A monster with a threat
level rank higher than S?
**[05:22] Basgath**
Yeah.
**[05:23] Basgath**
It's as a living calamity as dangerous as
the most powerful of the Queen Taratects.
**[05:29] Basgath**
They say having bad dreams is a sign
that the Nightmare might appear.
**[05:34] Fil**
I thought that monster was
supposed to have died.
**[05:38] Basgath**
That's what folks believe.
**[05:41] Basgath**
But I don't buy that abomination
going down so easily.
**[05:45] Shun**
You make it sound like you've
run into it before.
**[05:48] Basgath**
Yeah, because it turns out, I was the
first one to see the damn thing.
**[05:55] Shun**
That's amazing.
**[05:57] Basgath**
I still remember the moment it happened.
**[06:00] Basgath**
When I met its gaze... I felt like
I could've died at any second.
**[06:06] Shun**
I'm impressed you managed to survive.
**[06:09] Basgath**
Well, that's the weird
thing about the Nightmare.
**[06:12] Basgath**
If you don't attack it first,
it won't make a move on you.
**[06:16] Basgath**
Sometimes it even heals the wounded.
**[06:19] Basgath**
Outside of the labyrinth,
it's caused major trouble,
**[06:23] Basgath**
and even rescued people for some reason.
**[06:26] Basgath**
Nobody can tell what the
hell that thing is trying to do.
**[06:29] Shun**
Is it... really a monster?
**[06:32] Basgath**
The only thing anyone can say for sure about
the Nightmare is that it's damn strong.
**[06:37] Basgath**
Your party's pretty tough, boy,
but there's always a bigger fish.
**[06:41] Basgath**
You'd do well to remember
that there are some foes
**[06:44] Basgath**
that you don't stand a chance against.
**[06:48] Shun**
I know all about that already.
**[06:52] Shun**
But still, I have to try!
**[06:57] Basgath**
Yeah? Well, try not to get
yourself killed, at least.
**[07:01] Basgath**
It doesn't take much for people to die.
**[07:05] Basgath**
And how ass backwards would it
be to die of trying too hard?
**[07:09] Basgath**
There's no shame in running
from something you can't beat.
**[07:13] Basgath**
And you can always run, get stronger,
and take it on another day.
**[07:18] Shun**
But what if it's a fight where a lot
of peoples lives hang in the balance,
**[07:22] Shun**
and you can't run?
**[07:25] Shun**
What if that's the kind of responsibility
you're fighting with—
**[07:28] Basgath**
Then you stop worrying about
crap like that and run anyway.
**[07:32] Basgath**
If anyone ever holds your
desire to live against you,
**[07:35] Basgath**
you tell them to fight instead.
**[07:38] Basgath**
But if you still think
you've gotta fight anyway,
**[07:42] Basgath**
then that's nobody else's business.
**[07:46] Basgath**
In the end, the thing that matters
most is what you really want to do.
**[07:53] Shun**
Thank you for the advice, Basgath-san.
**[07:56] Shun**
But I don't think I can run after all.
**[08:00] Shun**
Because I'm the Hero!
**[08:03] Basgath**
Yeah? Well, suit yourself.
**[08:06] Basgath**
Okay, it's about time we get moving.
**[08:09] Basgath**
Rise and shine!
**[08:10] Basgath**
We're moving out.
**[08:12] Basgath**
Get a move on, or we're leaving you behind.
**[08:15] Fil**
What you really want to do...
**[08:20] Basgath**
We've got a few options coming up.
**[08:22] Basgath**
There's the dangerous, fastest course.
**[08:25] Basgath**
The relatively safe, but slower course.
**[08:27] Basgath**
And then the course where I dunno
what the hell will happen,
**[08:29] Basgath**
or how dangerous it might be.
**[08:31] Basgath**
Which is it gonna be?
**[08:33] Katia**
Exactly how dangerous
is the shortest course?
**[08:36] Basgath**
The path itself gives plenty of leeway,
**[08:38] Basgath**
but it's crawling with monsters a lot
tougher than what we've faced so far.
**[08:45] Basgath**
We're talking about tons of monsters
who are on par with dragons.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Fei**
Nice work, guys!
**[08:47] (Flashback) Katia**
It was nothing.
**[08:49] Fei**
What about the safer, slower path?
**[08:52] Hyrince**
What kind of delay are we talking about?
**[08:55] Basgath**
We're looking at a four-day difference.
**[08:57] Shun**
That's a big detour.
**[09:03] Katia**
Here.
**[09:04] Anna**
Thank you.
**[09:05] Shun**
What about the other course?
**[09:07] Basgath**
As for that... I'll be blunt,
I don't want to screw with it.
**[09:11] Fei**
That's a little too blunt.
**[09:14] Basgath**
That area is where the Nightmare
used to make its home.
**[09:18] Basgath**
It might be gone,
**[09:20] Basgath**
but there are monsters know as
Nightmare's Vestiges still hanging around...
**[09:23] Shun**
Vestiges?
**[09:25] Shun**
Are they strong?
**[09:27] Basgath**
Yeah. And they're trouble, too.
**[09:30] Basgath**
They leave you alone if you leave
them alone, like the Nightmare.
**[09:34] Basgath**
The problem is, they spin webs all over
the place that are hard to see.
**[09:39] Basgath**
And if you cut those down, they attack.
**[09:42] Katia**
Webs?
**[09:44] Basgath**
Yeah. See, the Nightmare's a spider monster.
**[09:48] Basgath**
That goes for the Vestiges, too.
**[09:50] Basgath**
These webs are practically invisible,
but durable and sticky as hell.
**[09:54] Basgath**
Get caught on one, and getting
out becomes a real problem.
**[09:58] Basgath**
In the old days, common sense said you burn
down spider nests when you come across them.
**[10:01] Basgath**
But now? You see a spider's web,
you run like hell.
**[10:07] Hyrince**
We're better off not trying that route.
**[10:10] Hyrince**
Julius and I hunted a
Nightmare's Vestige once...
**[10:15] Hyrince**
And we were lucky to win the battle.
**[10:19] Shun**
Even for you and Julius-niisama?
**[10:21] Basgath**
So where are we going?
**[10:22] Fei**
Well, if we rule the last route out...
**[10:25] Anna**
Let's take the shortest course.
**[10:27] Shun**
You're sure?
**[10:29] Anna**
Yes.
**[10:32] Shun**
Let's take the shortest course, then.
**[10:38] Basgath**
We're coming up on the short route.
Keep your wits about you.
**[10:51] Shun**
What is it?
**[10:53] Basgath**
Something's odd. I don't sense any monsters.
**[10:56] Basgath**
Reminds me a lot of when
I ran into the Nightmare.
**[11:02] Hyrince**
Everyone, get back!
**[11:08] Basgath**
A damned earth dragon?!
**[11:09] Basgath**
If it's here on the upper stratum,
it must've just evolved!
**[11:14] Shun**
It's average speed is 3,600...
**[11:17] Shun**
Guys, it's fast!
**[11:25] Basgath**
It's tough!
**[11:39] Fil**
It has the Imperial Scales skill!
Magic isn't going to be very effective!
**[11:44] Anna**
Maybe this will!
**[11:50] Shun**
It's got a resistance to lightning!
**[11:53] Shun**
That goes for earth, too.
Use magic with other attributes!
**[11:55] Shun**
Katia and the other magic users,
keep it from advancing on us!
**[11:57] Shun**
You, too, Basgath-san!
**[11:59] Basgath**
Yeah, you got it!
**[12:04] Shun**
* Magic won't work, and its*
* defenses are too strong!*
**[12:07] Shun**
* The only one of us with a physical*
* attack that can do real damage is...*
**[12:22] Basgath**
Damn...
**[12:34] Hyrince**
The Steel Body skill!
**[12:36] Shun**
You little cheater!
**[12:38] Fei**
Go for it, Sensei, Katia!
**[12:40] Fil**
Roger that!
**[12:51] Hyrince**
Here it comes!
**[12:54] Basgath**
Hey, kid!
**[12:55] Anna**
Schlain-sama!
**[13:00] Shun**
Holy Light Beam!
**[13:12] Voice**

**[13:29] Katia**
Dragon Slayer?
**[13:31] Katia**
I suppose we're part of a legend, now.
**[13:35] Fil**
Did we all just receive that title?
**[13:40] Basgath**
Damn...
**[13:41] Basgath**
I wasn't sure how that was gonna turn out.
**[13:44] Basgath**
We got lucky that it was at such a low level.
**[13:48] Hyrince**
Dragon Slayer, eh?
**[13:49] Hyrince**
We never managed that in Julius's party.
**[13:53] Hyrince**
I've got a good story to tell when
I see him on the other side!
**[13:56] Hyrince**
You did a great job!
**[13:58] Shun**
Aw, cut it out!
**[14:07] Fil**
The Nightmare's Vestiges!
**[14:11] Vestiges**
Hero?
**[14:12] Vestiges**
Hero.
**[14:14] Vestiges**
Ruler?
**[14:16] Vestiges**
Ruler.
**[14:17] Vestiges**
Ruler. Ruler. Ruler. Ruler. Ruler...
**[14:21] Vestiges**
Can't appraise?
**[14:23] Vestiges**
Can't appraise. Can't appraise.
Can't appraise. Can't appraise...
**[14:28] Vestiges**
Reincarnations?
**[14:29] Vestiges**
Reincarnations. Reincarnations.
Reincarnations. Reincarnations...
**[14:33] Vestiges**
Reincarnations... but weak?
**[14:35] Vestiges**
Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak.
Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak...
**[14:35] Fei**
What's with these things?
**[14:41] Shun**
You know about reincarnations?!
**[14:44] Vestiges**
We do. We do. We do. We do.
**[14:46] Vestiges**
How could we not? We know. We do.
**[14:48] Shun**
How do you know about us?!
**[14:50] Vestiges**
Master.
**[14:51] Vestiges**
Master.
**[14:52] Vestiges**
Mother.
**[14:53] Shun**
And your Master is a reincarnation?!
**[14:55] Vestiges**
You'll see soon.
**[14:56] Vestiges**
You'll see soon.
**[14:58] Vestiges**
It won't be long.
**[14:59] Vestiges**
Won't be long.
**[14:59] Vestiges**
Tell you... Let you know...
**[15:01] Vestiges**
The beginning of the end.
**[15:03] Vestiges**
The world will begin.
**[15:04] Vestiges**
The world will end.
**[15:06] Shun**
Wait! What do you mean?!
**[15:08] Vestiges**
There's no point in knowing.
**[15:09] Vestiges**
You'll die anyway.
**[15:10] Vestiges**
Everyone will die.
**[15:11] Vestiges**
Just try to survive.
**[15:20] Basgath**
You stupid bastard!
**[15:22] Hyrince**
Basgath-dono!
**[15:24] Basgath**
Didn't I tell you that when you run into the
Nightmare's Vestiges, you leave them alone?!
**[15:30] Shun**
I'm sorry...
**[15:32] Shun**
But I had to know!
**[15:36] Basgath**
Even if it got you killed?!
**[15:42] Basgath**
You wanna die, boy, be my guest.
**[15:44] Basgath**
But commit suicide on your own!
**[15:47] Fil**
Basgath-san! That's going too far.
**[15:52] Fei**
Well, we all survived,
so I say it worked out okay!
**[15:55] Fei**
We might've been able to handle one,
**[15:56] Fei**
but if that entire swarm came after us,
we would've been done for.
**[16:00] Shun**
I'm sorry.
**[16:03] Shun**
The beginning of the end...
and everyone dies, huh?
**[16:33] Shun**
Wh-What is it?
**[16:39] Katia**
Is something wrong?
**[16:41] Shun**
No...
**[16:44] Shun**
* I've been having strange dreams ever*
* since we entered the labyrinth.*
**[16:48] Shun**
* I hadn't dreamed about my*
* past life in years.*
**[16:53] Shun**
*Why would I dream about Spooky?*
**[17:01] Katia**
That is... a very big hole.
**[17:03] Basgath**
The old master of this labyrinth,
a Queen Taratect, blew that hole open.
**[17:09] Basgath**
A bunch of monsters called Finjicotes have
been making their nests around here since.
**[17:15] Basgath**
One or two of them at a time is nothing,
**[17:18] Basgath**
but getting out means scaling the walls of
the cave while taking on the entire swarm.
**[17:21] Basgath**
So nobody has ever really used it as an exit...
**[17:24] Basgath**
Until now.
**[17:27] Basgath**
Which means you're up.
**[17:29] Fei**
I'm on it!
**[17:31] Fei**
But, uh, first could you...
**[17:37] Katia**
Do not turn around, and do not hear a thing.
**[17:41] Shun**
All right already...
**[17:43] Fei**
All set! Hop aboard.
**[17:58] Hyrince**
What is it, Shun?
**[18:00] Shun**
Well, I just realized I'm
riding on a girl's back.
**[18:04] Katia**
Could you please stop having
strange fantasies?!
**[18:07] Katia**
Consider the situation!
**[18:09] Shun**
I wasn't joking around!
**[18:11] Fei**
No domestic disputes on my back, please.
**[18:15] Fei**
Unless you want to get dropped.
**[18:16] Shun**
Sorry...
**[18:18] Fei**
Ugh, these things are so annoying!
**[18:22] Fei**
We're headed straight out
of here! Hang on tight!
**[18:41] Shun**
This is the continent of Kasanagara?
**[18:45] Anna**
I can see the elf village from here!
**[18:54] K**
I would've been dead if it wasn't for the
Immortality skill and HP Auto-Recovery.
**[19:00] K**
Kinda surprised to learn that Auto-Recovery
**[19:03] K**
can literally grow your
body back, to be honest.
**[19:05] K**
"Two things to bring with
When you're in another world..."
**[19:07] K**
"Eternal life and heals."
**[19:09] K**
Too many syllables for a haiku.
**[19:12] K**
It's taken so long for my head
to grow all the way back...
**[19:16] K**
I wonder how long the rest
of my body will take.
**[19:21] K**
Yeah, Dark Magic for you.
**[19:24] K**
At least I can still use magic like this.
**[19:28] K**
I could probably use healing
magic to speed this up,
**[19:32] K**
but even then, it'd take a while,
**[19:34] K**
and wasting MP could cost
me my life right now.
**[19:38] K**
Plus, even with my body back,
if you-know-who shows up again...
**[19:45] K**
I managed to get out of the Great Elroe
Labyrinth, but then I had to deal with Mother.
**[19:49] K**
And just when I figure out to deal
with her, next is the Demon Lord?!
**[19:53] K**
This game is shit! What the hell's the
Demon Lord got against me, anyway?!
**[19:58] K**
I mean, I can kinda guess!
Her race was "Origin Taratect."
**[20:03] K**
That "Origin" probably means she's the boss
spider that even Mother steps in line for!
**[20:07] K**
I bet Mother must've made a call for help!
**[20:11] K**
What a little snitch! Unbelievable!
**[20:16] K**
I should be glad the Demon Lord
didn't break out
**[20:20] K**
the Abyss Magic on me, at least...
since she had it.
**[20:24] K**
The secret effect of Abyss Magic
is the dissolution of the soul.
**[20:28] K**
It's the ultimate murder magic,
which destroys even the soul.
**[20:31] K**
If she uses that on me...
**[20:35] K**
So I'm an Immortal, so What?
**[20:40] K**
Crap, crap, crap! If she figures out I'm alive,
I'm gonna be really dead next time!
**[20:45] K**
I can't rely on the Immortality skill,
so I better think up something.
**[20:53] K**
A way for me to survive
having my soul destroyed...
**[20:57] K**
Maybe like when when
I reincarnated as a spider?
**[21:01] K**
I could move my soul into
a different body.
**[21:04] K**
I was able to have my Parallel Minds
invade Mother.
**[21:09] K**
Come to think of it,
I wonder how they're doing.
**[22:47] Ariel**
What is this?
**[22:50] Ariel**
I should have killed her.
Why is the attack continuing?
**[22:58] Ariel**
Did she survive my attack somehow?
***SIGN*** Body
**[23:04] Body K**
Body!
**[23:13] Ariel**
An invasion of the body that even
skills can't make possible!
**[23:16] Ariel**
And it was somehow effective? On *me*?
**[23:20] Ariel**
Of all the insolent...
**[23:24] Ariel**
I can't remove it! She has to die!
**[23:28] Ariel**
I need to find the main body
and destroy it!
***SIGN*** Next time on
So I'm a Spider, So What?
***SIGN*** You Guys Are Kind of Awful, Huh?
***SIGN*** See you next time!
