Chapter 64 - I was annoyed when I tried to think three-dimensionally by thinking vertically instead of two-dimensionally

**Day 29? Labyrinth's End Bottom Floor**

In the end, there were 100 Minos. Exactly 100 fell.

All sorts of weapons, armor, and magic stones—looks like a huge payday, but the guild is way too far. No way they'd do on-site buyback. If they could come this deep, they wouldn't need to buy from anyone anyway.

But 100 Minotaurs + 1 Living Armor? 101-monster grand assembly? That's way too much assembly! Lv99 Minotaurs ×100 plus a Lv100 Living Armor—no one could ever clear this. The moment they heard, they'd run. What kind of labyrinth is this?

Anyway, Floor 99 is empty now. Everyone fell.

If I leave them, more will probably spawn, so better move fast. Up the stairs—Floor 99 is full of holes. Barely any floor left.

"Floor 99 looks like it's about to collapse~? Good thing I was downstairs, or I'd be in trouble. Seriously."

Grumbling while walking across Floor 99. Walking is impossible. Too many huge holes—can't even be bothered to level it anymore.

But it's a mystery? How does armor + skull manage jito eyes? I feel the jito pressure intensely from behind. Never thought I'd get jito-refilled by a former Labyrinth Emperor at the bottom of a labyrinth. Thanks, I guess.

Floor 99 has a low ceiling. Dropping from here probably wouldn't do much damage, but for testing I open holes where I sense presence. Nothing falls.

Appraisal sneak-peek: looks like Lv98 Lich. Floating, so no fall.

Lich: physical null, only holy magic really works, but non-holy magic is top-tier. Magic-specialized evil spirit monster. And I can't use holy magic, so no attack… but Tree Staff? worked on darkness for former-Lich Skeleton?-san. Maybe it has holy attribute? Well, poke and find out.

Holes are open, but the Lich doesn't come down or attack from them. Planar thinking?

Then vertical thinking: extend Tree Staff? from below and poke. Ooooh! Super effective! Writhed for 2-3 seconds then vanished. Magic stone fell… all the way to the bottom… catch it?

Still, Lich doesn't descend or attack from the holes. Bad at 3D thinking? Stuck in established theory and concepts?

After that: open hole, poke. Open hole, poke. Open hole, poke… Why am I doing this in a dungeon?

Falling magic stones: Skeleton?-san catches them all with graceful moves. While jito-eyeing. Skillful. Thanks to her, no need to go down and pick them up. One got away, but whatever. Probably around 100 total.

Munching mushrooms while heading to Floor 98. Skeleton?-san leads, climbing stairs ahead. Couldn't tell in skeleton form, but in female-shaped armor the style really stands out—long legs, high waist, killer curves. Armor, yet I'm struggling with where to look? What is this? Armor fetish? Or is my high-school-boy side going berserk? I was heading to a shady night shop and ended up in a shady dark labyrinth instead? What am I supposed to do?

Floor 97: moths. Thought they wouldn't fall—moth monsters.

Of course I opened a hole to check.

"Venom Moth Lv97"—scatters poison and status-inflicting scales. Open too many holes and scales will rain down.

Moths, right?

Slow-launch Fireball into ceiling hole, hold it there. Keep pouring mana to grow it bigger.

Moth presences gather toward the Fireball… vanishing one after another… definitely moths.

"Yeah, wiped out. All presence gone."

Uwaah—intense jito eyes. From armor. From skull inside. How? Mystery of the labyrinth deepens.

Apparently this world has no moth-luring lamps.

Because charging into a swarm of poison/status moths is impossible. Instant-kill trap. Wipe before even fighting.

Now jito bathed, we ascend to Floor 97. From now on I'll call her Skeleton Class Rep. Probably gonna get "-sama" soon. Even though I'm the dominator?
