Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

The only way to fight off hordes of gluttonous demons is to use the roots of the Talfro tree.

However, I have a limited number of Talflow tree roots.

After realizing this.

My maze exploration has reached a dead end.

I collected as many monster corpses as possible and burned them dry with fire magic.

They used this as food.

It tastes terrible and is harmful to the human body; it can only be eaten with detoxification magic.

Rudy survived by eating this kind of stuff...

……

I continued to explore the shifting maze.

However, after several transfers, he was thrown into the monster's lair.

I fought desperately, and also found a magic circle that would prevent monsters from appearing.

The result is that we're back here again, back in this narrow space.

I don't know how many times this has been repeated.

Five times? Ten times? Each time you step onto the magic circle in front of you, you will be teleported to a different place.

But I'll come back here sooner or later.

I am exhausted, both physically and mentally, and it is really hard to muster any more strength.

According to our biological clock, about a month has passed.

This month.

I didn't achieve anything; I just kept going in circles.

I have a feeling that there will be no "next time".

The body will definitely not be found afterward, and no belongings will be left behind.

He was about to die, and he could leave nothing behind.

I'm so scared, really scared.

My teeth started chattering involuntarily.

I gripped the wand tightly, feeling an urge to scream.

To date, I have witnessed death many times.

Having lived as an adventurer until now, I've witnessed many people die right before my eyes.

Strong warriors were cleaved in two by monsters like dead trees, and clever magicians were crushed like tomatoes by monsters.

There are also versatile thieves and swift, agile swordsmen.

These people lost their lives right before my eyes.

Whenever I see this kind of scene, I sometimes have a vague feeling...

One day it will probably be my turn.

Just like now.

I don't know anyone who has ever been in such a desperate situation and survived.

...I don't want to die.

That's why I stepped onto the magic circle.

This time, they were moved to an unfamiliar path, leaving marks next to unfamiliar magic circles along the way and being moved several times.

Finally, quite naturally, he was thrown into the monster's lair.

One glance was all it took for me to realize that I was doomed.

The monsters piled the corpses of their dead monsters on the teleportation magic circle.

Therefore, I had to move all the corpses away before stepping on them.

And you also have to fight so many monsters at the same time...

I can't do it.

Dead.

147. As a wife

That being said.

I am not in despair.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I will try my best to live on.

"O Azure Goddess descending from the heavens, wield your staff and freeze the world! [Icicle Field]!"

"The Frost King, the overlord of the vast snowfields. Clad in pure white, the Zero King who steals all heat. The ice king who rules over death will freeze everything! 'Ice Lance Blizzard'!"

I kept chanting and used various ice spells to attack forward.

Intentionally failing to defeat the enemy's vanguard.

While the vanguard transforms into an ice sculpture and forms a barrier, chant a superior magic spell to attack other enemies located behind them.

I once used this tactic to solve the maze near Shiron.

This is a winning tactic.

however……

As the defending monster died, other monsters poured out of the transfer magic circle one after another.

New monsters stepped over the dead ones and moved forward, quickly replenishing the lost combat power.

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with monsters again.

My heart is filled with despair.

The roots of the Talflow tree have long been used up.

We have to move that pile of corpses to get through this place, but I simply can't do so many things at the same time.

A colossal gluttonous demon leaped from the ceiling above, over the ice, and attacked me.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

"Slice the enemy with a scorching sword! [Flame Slice]!"

I instinctively used fire magic.

The gluttonous demon was burned to a crisp.

Using fire in a cave is not a good idea; it could lead to certain death.

But I panicked and used it subconsciously.

"The majestic armor of the earth surrounds me! [Earth Fortress]!"

I created another earthen wall, and the remaining magic power continued to diminish.

I pondered what to do, how to be saved.

While thinking, he defeated monsters one after another.

But I can't find the answer. Is there no other way?

Is everything over?

Am I really going to die here?

Even with these thoughts in mind, I continued to defeat the monsters through routine actions.

"……what."

I suddenly felt unsteady on my feet, and my consciousness began to blur.

This is a sign that the magic is about to run out.

If I use the magic a few more times, I will faint.

"Do not……"

I gripped the magic wand tightly.

I don't want to die.

……

Like a revolving lantern.

Memories from the past kept flashing through my mind.

The first person I recall is Rudius.

Before this happened, he asked me if I wanted to go to magic university.

Magic University...

Actually, I enjoy teaching others.

Although I lack the talent to be a teacher, I still enjoy teaching others.

When I heard Rudy's suggestion, I had the idea of ​​becoming a teacher at the magic university.

My master is at the magic university; he's the one who we went our separate ways after a fight.

We might argue again.

But I always feel that if it were me now, I could probably get along well with that master too…
