Apito and Beretta, who were fighting against Dino, suddenly disappeared.
Although they had sealed his legs and were continuously torturing him, it all came to an end all too suddenly.
Telling himself that it was probably his imagination that the torture was slowly starting to feel good, he started thinking of the reason behind Apito and Beretta’s disappearance.
What’s with them?–Dino had thought but it only took him a moment,
As the reason soon became clear.
He had detected an enormous energy response, approaching at an intense speed.
As the floors inside the labyrinth differed in dimensions, it gets difficult to detect with ‘Magic Detection’ if something is a few floors apart.
However, that response was bare and showed no signs of concealment and even while it was coming from a few floors apart, it caught Dino’s detection.
“Oi, Ramiris! What is going on here?”
Dino yelled.
And the reply to that was,
[Umm, for the time being, the fight is on hold. If you want to continue the fight, let’s meet again later!]
An ambiguous reply.
(I see, that Zero completed the labyrinth encroachment so those guys are in a hurry to escape.
Alright, nice, I am also probably saved with this.)
Judging that he was able to escape from the danger, Dino chuckled.
But that was a very naive thought.
Having assimilated with the labyrinth, just as Rimuru and the others predicted, Zero had completely lost his reasoning power.
At the end, his sense of self was just cultivated through printing.
In front of great power, he couldn’t resist and became an existence which only acts on instinct.
However, that was also according to what Velda had predicted.
Zero will absorb the surroundings energy, multiply and enlarge.
And then, he will bring destruction upon that area.
That was exactly the way to operate the completed Aji Dahaka.
Even a strong being like Zero is nothing but an activation medium for it.
The stronger the medium is, the stronger Aji Dahaka’s rampaging state will be.
Not to mention that the labyrinth’s insides make replenishment of vast energy extremely easy.
The evil dragon which was born, sublimed all the energy it had absorbed at once and turned into an existence which can even be called the 6th dragon species.
And, abiding by its evil dragon-like instincts, it began the elimination of all life forms inside the labyrinth.
Its name is–”Mad Evil Dragon” Zero.
Malice bared its fangs.
◇◇◇
The trembling inside the labyrinth started growing .
The reason behind it was because the source of the vibration was closing in on the floor Dino and the others were on.
“Hey, is it just me, or do you also have a bad feeling about this…?”
