Chapter 47: Mutation
"Mutation? Is something strange going on?"
"Yes, we have been commissioned by Lord Kador, the lord of the border city, and since last month, the demonic beasts in the forest have begun to become restless, and they have expanded outwards in search of new lairs, and I heard that one village has even been destroyed because of this.

"In other words, you think it was the mutation of the Abyss Labyrinth that caused the escape of the Demonic Beast?"
"Exactly. ”
Pell answered my questions truthfully.
To be honest, what Pell said is not unreasonable, if you think about it, it was probably around that time that I appeared at the bottom of the labyrinth, how long has it been since I came to this world?
[The Divine Awareness system has been active for 25 days.] 】
It's been twenty-five days. I explored the labyrinth on all floors for a long time, and I was delayed for a lot of days because of Nana's affairs, and the time of a month passed very quickly.
It seems that the time can coincide, if it is really a mutation in the maze, no matter how you think about it, it can only be that Lucia's big sister bravely broke to the bottom, and then the momentum was too strong and accidentally scared the weak monster away.
Well, it can be seen from the strength of these adventurers that the humans in the outside world should be quite weak, so for me, the weaker Warcraft also has the possibility of slaughtering a village.
That's not good, considering I'm a creature from the labyrinth, so I'm probably going to think of it as some kind of danger.
"Master Wizard Book, what's wrong?"
"No, I just think that this terrible monster can't be allowed to harm everyone anymore. ”
"Actually, that monster has been defeated. ”
"What?"
I was taken aback, and I wanted to find an opportunity to eliminate the evil monster and establish my image of being a wise and martial artist, harmless and patriotic, patriotic and loving the people, but I ended it before I started to act, and I was really lonely.
"That monster was defeated by our Emerald Crest, a C-rank ghoul. ”
"But that's just one of the escapees, and now the Lord has commissioned several teams of adventurers to clean up the monsters around the town, and then we've been tasked with investigating the maze. ”
Ghouls look like creatures that have escaped from the realm of death, but how did these monsters get the Sphinx's puzzle right?
There's a lot I don't know about that abyssal labyrinth, and it seems like I'll have to explore it if I have the chance.
So back to the point, since there are so many ghouls, it means that maybe I can still pick up some fish that slipped through the net.
Yes, yes, it looks like I'll be using these ghouls when I get to town.
I was thinking about a positive image-building plan, and just around the corner of the woods, I saw a human figure with a hunched body.
"The guy in front of you...... Are you getting lost in the forest?"
I muttered to myself, but when I turned my head, the faces of the adventurers had changed.
"All stand back. Scubus held his sword in front of him, and at the same time, the other three also stood in formation, Hena and Skub side by side, and Pell and Beda at the end.
"Master Wizard Book, this is the fleeing ghoul. Pell explained to me.
Betta patted her chest, "Leave this ghoul to us." ”
Oops, I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic, so I'll leave this experience monster to you.
"The monsters on both sides are please!" commanded Sheena, the thief, and rushed towards the ghoul like the wind.
"...... on both sides"
When I heard Sheena's words, I noticed something strange around me - the trees were moving.
The squirming moans came from the woods, and I looked up to see the same rickety figures between the trees.
Dozens of ghouls began to slowly walk towards us.
If you dare to do so, you will deal with the first one, and leave the rest to me?
I instantly felt hopeless about humanity.
Ghouls came from both sides, all ragged, bent over and babbling, if it weren't for the fact that this was another world, maybe I would have thought it was the filming site of an American drama.
"What are you doing running like this!"
I can't stand it anymore.
"Fireball...... Wait......" I urgently called a stop in my heart, this is a forest, and random fire will inevitably cause forest fires, and I have not yet mastered the magic of the water system, simply put, I can set fires but cannot extinguish them.
Then use Venom Spray!
No, no, there is still the same problem, just like in the scorching field, the random use of venom sprays to evaporate the poisonous gas will hurt these adventurers.
It's really annoying, why should I be a messenger of justice, isn't it bad to be a cute and charming villain?
The only means I have left is undead summoning.
Will this work? Forget it, no matter what, let's use it.
"Undead Summon!"
With a loud shout, dozens of skeleton hands burst out of the ground.
Hey, there's an unexpectedly large number of corpses in this forest.
I was frightened by the number of skeletons summoned, not only human skeletons, but also some skeletons the size of monsters.
The ferocious Legion of Skeletons rose from the dirt, and the Ghouls roared and swooped, engaging the Legion of Skeletons.
"Divine Lightning!"
Not far ahead, Betta folded her hands in prayer, and then a crack opened in the sky, and lightning fell from the sky and slashed at the ghoul.
The ghoul was immediately weakened by the attack, and Pell saw the rain of arrows falling sharply, and the arrows that fell on the ground connected to each other, and an enchantment trapped the ghoul.
Hina, who had gone first, had already torn open the ghoul's wounds, and the warrior's iron sword swung in an instant, splitting the ghoul in half from top to bottom.
A rain of rancid blood splattered and fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound of corrosion. Beda continued to chant the incantation, and soon a protective barrier unfolded over the crowd.
But at this time, the adventurers were already out of breath, and it seemed that although this set of combos had made the ghouls powerless, it was also very costly for them.
"Master Wizard Book...... Solved on our side. ”
When the dust settled, the four of them walked towards me.
They looked around, and the skeleton soldiers were fighting the ghouls, who opened their fangs and gnawed at the skeletons, and the skeleton soldiers beat the ghouls with the bones in their hands, and for a moment no one could help anyone.
"Worthy of the Master of the Magic Book...... Have you dealt with these ghouls perfectly?"
"No......," I said, confused, "something is wrong." ”
I hadn't noticed it before, but when I tried to check it with my discerning eye after the battle began, the ghouls didn't have a health bar.
If it's a monster, it must have a health bar, and even the skeleton I summoned has a health bar.
But these ghouls didn't.
If you look closely, their movements are relatively sluggish, although they know to rush, but their action is really single, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like demonic beasts that can slaughter a village.
"Down there!"
Suddenly, I felt a strong tremor under my feet, and the earth collapsed with a bang, and a large mouth rushed out of the ground.
The adventurers were unsteady on their feet, and they all fell into the black abyss.
