《The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak》Chapter 457 - 82nd Floor
Advertisement
The group took four days before they found the entrance to the 82nd floor. The monster on the 81st floor was few but the maze was confusing them so it took days a lot of time before they found the entrance to the next floor.
Labyrinth like this could be clear by a power of S-rank and above. That's why most of the living labyrinth in the Imperium was gone because every time they discovered one, a lot of powerful people will try to conquer and acquire god's legacy. Sometimes gods appear and took it for themselves.
The only known living labyrinth that couldn't be cleared was the Great Labyrinth near the True God's Holy Kingdom. Even gods couldn't clear that terrifying labyrinth that could even swallow immortals.
But the Great Labyrinth wasn't alone. There were a bunch of living labyrinths in the Great World Imperium that were waiting to be discovered and Souta knew a few of them. After all, he cleared some of the living labyrinths in the past and took the god's legacy.
Dark Forest, Calamity Dessert, Poisonous Woods, Sea Serpent's Territory, and the Dragon's Peak were some of the places that have an undiscovered living labyrinth in this timeline. Aside from that, there were also other living labyrinths that the top guilds uncovered but he lacked information about those labyrinths.
Souta didn't even know the exact location. All the things that he knew came from his experience. It was impossible for him to know everything what other players discovered and did in the game.
On the 82nd floor... The whole floor was filled with active volcanoes that were spewing magma every second. The temperature of the whole floor reached three hundred degrees celsius. In some places, the temperature even reached five hundred degrees celsius.
"This place is like a hell..." Torkez commented while looking at the towering volcanoes around him.
The group could even see hundreds of giant humanoid creatures made of magma walking around the volcanoes. All of these creatures were emitting energy that could rival B-rank and some of them has the aura of an A-rank.
"Oho, this is getting better than what I had expected..." Franklin laughed lightly as his eyes were filled with excitement. "I can't wait to find out how would they fare against us."

"Huff... it's hot..." Isabella muttered while wiping the sweat forming on her forehead. She was the weakest in the group and resistance to heat wasn't as great as her comrades.
"Isabella, try to use your parasite to make a thin layer of skin. It will help you endure the heat in this place." Alice suggested to Isabella.
"Thanks, Alice... But I couldn't properly control my parasite so it will be hard to create something like that." Isabella smiled wryly.
"Try to practice it if you don't have anything to do. We can do a lot of things using parasites." Alice said.
"I will help you in practicing how to properly control your parasite later." Torkez joined their conversation.
"Thanks." Isabella scratched her cheeks.
"My lord, what should we do now? Are we going to rest or proceed to clear this area?" Franklin said to Souta while flashing his white teeth. His pair of antenna was twitching as if he was trying to sense the monsters in the area around them.
"We just took a rest on the previous floor." Souta shook his head and said, "We'll take care of the monster in this area for our safety. It's better to have a safe zone if we want to sleep properly."
"Oho, I understand... Then, I'll go now."
The smile on Franklin's face grew wider as he turned his attention to the monster in his vision. He slowly bent his knees and like a spring, he launched himself forward with astonishing speed.
Swoosh!
Red flesh sprouted from his arms and it turned into sharp blades. With a single wave from his blades, sharp winds flew out that could decimate anyone below B-rank.
Souta sighed while looking at Franklin. He turned his head to Yuko and Doranjan before he said, "You two should handle the east. Eliminate anyone in that place."
'Yes, master...' Yuko nodded as flames burst out of her red fur and it coated her body. Dense best dream spread out in the surroundings as she used her [Flame Expansion] trait skill. She then flashed towards the east to finish her master's order.
'Yes, my lord.' Doranjan opened his wide wings and his body flew in the mid-air to follow Yuko.

Swoosh!
"Alice, Torkez, follow Franklin." Souta then turned to Isabella. "Isabella follow me. We'll handle the monster on the west."
"O-Okay..." Isabella nodded with a flustered look. She was just trying to manipulate her parasite when she heard Souta called her name.
"Let's go."
Souta started to run on the west and Isabella followed him.
"Hahahaha, this is it!!"
Franklin laughed as he slashed his blades on the giant golem in front of him.
Boom!
The golem made of magma was as strong as an A-rank expert. It raised its giant hand and blocked Franklin's attack but it didn't expect that the blade was sharp enough to severe its hand.
"Stop laughing, Franklin! This isn't a game!"
Torkez when to the side of the golem and his hand turned into a drill. It spun quickly as it gathered his mana to make it stronger.
He then pushed his hand forward and the drill made of flesh decapitated the side of the giant golem.
Boom!!
"This is my prey, Torkez. You should stop poking your nose in my business."
Franklin said as his body flashed and arrived below the golem. He gathered his mana on his blades and swung it.
Bang!
"The two of you should stop talking while fighting..."
Torkez and Franklin turned their heads and saw Alice in the mid-air gathering a large amount of energy on the tip of her spear.
"Whoa!"
"W-Wait!!"
Alice pointed her spear at the chest of the golem and her body flashed with brilliant blueish light. She tightly gripped her spear before she threw it.
[Frozen Zero Strike!]
The spear drew a line in the sky as it pierced the chest of the giant golem. But the spear didn't stop at all. It burst out of the golem's chest and it continued to move forward with great momentum.
Swoosh!
Her spear pierced another three golems before it landed on the ground causing the floor to shake. The shockwaves from her attack spread out in every direction like a ripple.
"Shit!!"
Torkez jumped away and layers of flesh covered his body.
"Hahahaha, you're crazy!!"
Franklin laughed madly as he did the same. Flesh covered his body to protect himself from the aftershocks.
The temperature in the area quickly dropped. The air turned cold and the giant golems were frozen.
This was a powerful combat arts that Alice learned while Souta was fighting in the Prison World. It was a high-grade combat arts for A-rank experts like her. Also, it was compatible with her as one of her elemental affinities was ice so she quickly managed to learn this skill.
"Fuck, this is crazy. She just killed four golems that could rival A-ranks in just one hit." Franklin said while looking at the damage it caused in the area.
"I'm an A-rank too but the difference between us is too large. Is this the level of the people from Great World?" Torkez whispered.
Tap!
Alice elegantly landed on the ground. She opened her palm and her orange grade spear flew back to her. She looked at her orange grade and saw that the tip needed some maintenance.
"I've been using this spear for a few years... Even though this is an orange-grade spear, it will be bad if I didn't maintain it properly."
She muttered while looking at her weapon. Her weapon wasn't a universal-grade artifact that was indestructible or a dark-grade that could maintain the same sharpness even after using it for thousands of battles.
Well, it seems that she needed to find some blacksmith to handle her weapon.
Alice looked around and saw dozens of golems approaching them from afar.
"Four A-ranks and twenty-seven B-ranks. It's a pretty good lineup."
A faint smile formed on her face and her mana burst out of her body. Wings made of flesh sprouted on her back as she flew towards the golems.
Oh, this? It looks like a pair of wings in her demon form. If that's the case, then if she could control her parasite pretty well it means that she could change her appearance by making another layer of skin in her body. Also, she could copy the appearance of a demon, monster, or anything.
This parasite was pretty useful.
"Leave some for me!!"
Franklin shouted as he followed Alice to fight the giant golems. He came here first but this girl was taking all of his prey.
Sigh...
Torkez shook his head while looking at them.. He could only follow them to directly confront a bunch of powerful golems.
