Chapter 293 Continued – 86
The 86th floor, where Tauro wandered, was literally a state of flux, with zero visibility, and he could hardly feel where he was walking.
Tauro, who had entered the 86th level with Tsugumi and his escort team, thought the threat of a “labyrinth within a labyrinth” and, in addition, of a “storm” was too easy.
Tauro, who had experienced the 202nd level, thought that he and his escort team, who had dived to their deaths there, would be able to handle the lower half of the level.
At the suggestion of Tsugumi, the leader of the escort team, all the members were tied around the waist with a rope of a certain length, but Tauro’s rope, which was going last, had been cut before he knew it.
Tauro, who had been moving forward for a while without noticing it, realized that no sound could reach him except the sound of the wind, and when he checked his rope, he found that it had been cut.
He then realized that he was lost.
Thus, the 86th level was a completely different kind of danger than the deeper levels, and I became aware of it by getting lost.
First of all, visibility was almost zero, blocked by a kind of haze.

Other than the sound of the wind, no Sound could be heard.
Then there was the sensory deprivation.
At first, I was able to walk with my feet on the ground, but now I felt a sense of fluffiness, and I began to wonder if I was really walking on the ground.
“I know you say it’s better not to move too much in a situation like this: ……. But if it’s as Tsugumi-san explained, level 86 is a wider labyrinth and should have walls, so is it still better to be on the side of the walls?”
Tauro decided so and walked fearfully, groping to touch the wall.
He walked for a while, but did not reach anything that looked like a wall.
“Huh? What’s going on? Even if it’s a fairly wide labyrinth, if you walk for about 15 minutes, you’ll probably hit a wall…”
As Tauro’s anxiety increased, Pella, his familiar, shook her leather-armor-mimicking body.
“What? I’m advancing while avoiding the wall?”
Tauro could feel Pella’s consciousness flowing into him as she said this.
“No way?! I thought I was walking straight, but I was zigzagging?”
Ad
Pella shuddered again as if to reply.
“…Pella, can you see the way?”
Tauro asked this reassuring familiar again.
Pella responded with another shudder.
“Then, can you tell me which way to go?”
Pella trembled again and pointed in the direction by mimicking an arrow with a part of her body.
“Thank you, Pella. If it weren’t for you, I would have had a mental breakdown due to my confusion over this situation.”
Tauro’s mind began to relax as he was reassured by the dependable follower.
“If …… Tsugumi’s explanation is correct, you’re saying that if there’s more than one of person, you won’t have symptoms, but if you’re alone, you’ll have symptoms of sensory deprivation, which the fear will cause a mental breakdown, right? So I guess that means I didn’t go that far yet because I have Pella with me. ……”
Tauro muttered to himself as he continued to move in the direction Pella indicated.
Ad
Although not strictly speaking to himself because of the presence of his familiar Pella, Tauro was trying to organize his thoughts and keep his senses by saying it out loud.
“This ‘storm’ is scary. …… I feel a different kind of fear from that of the powerful enemies in the depths. I’ve never had a sensory deprivation like this before. …… Hm? ─ ─ Is it possible to cure it with status ailment recovery magic?”
Tauro, who had gained more leeway by repeatedly talking to himself, even decided to start experimenting.
“The “Abnormality Recovery”! …… can’t be cured ……? ─ ─ No, now I feel that my vision has opened up, if only for a moment!”
Tauro felt this way, so this time he used “Magic Manipulation (Extreme)” to focus only on the sensory system and cast a status abnormality recovery spell.
Then he felt the ground under his feet, where he had lost all sense of feeling before.
Then, the haze in his vision cleared, and his ability “Presence Detection,” which had been disabled due to the storm, reacted.
I sensed several monsters from a distance around me.
“It looks like it’s spying on us. …… It looks like a weasel-like monster from its silhouette. Its front legs are shaped like sickles. ……”
Pella trembled at his words.
“What? The rope was cut by that monster?”
Pella’s consciousness came through.
“I see. It didn’t attack me directly, so you didn’t stop it, did you?”
Pella shivered again.
“So now Pella is intimidating it. Thank you.”
It seems that Pella has the ability to intimidate those who are weaker than her, like Tauro’s ‘prestige’.
“I can use my ability now! That means I’ve been cured of the skill kill by the ‘storm’!”
Then the “voice of the world” echoed in my mind.
“Confirmed one of the conditions for activating the special skill [&%$#] <Someone who overcomes the domain-only guardian (‘Storm’)’s skill killing>. Acquired [skill killing (weak)].”
“…… skill-killer. ─ ─ I’m wondering about the (weak) part, but maybe I learned something great ……?”
Tauro thought back on the horror he had experienced before rejoicing, but the next moment he saw more than one person in the “presence detection” and immediately headed in that direction.
