"Where is this?"

One moment I was still in my warm home, the next moment I arrived at a pitch-black place where nothing could be seen.

"Is it a labyrinth?"

The demon girl in the darkness smelled the damp, cold air; this smell often appears in labyrinths where the sun never shines.

【4】 The demon girl in the darkness smelled the damp, cold air; this smell often appears in labyrinths where the sun never shines.

"Light."

After realizing where she might have arrived, Roxy used the corresponding labyrinth illumination magic; when light similar to a magic lamp dispersed the surrounding darkness, she discovered she was inside an underground karst cave.

And beside her, there was also a skeleton wearing adventurer clothing, which just proved her guess that this place was a labyrinth.

"That flow of magic power, it actually has the effect of transfer magic? How is Broly doing now? No, he doesn't need to be worried about, but the others……"

Before Roxy could think deeply, rustling sounds rose from the other side of the karst cave.

Some creatures seemed to have been startled awake by the sudden light appearing in the karst cave.

Soon, some large worms with skin the color of steel crawled over from the darkness toward this side.

"Eh, Steel Crawlers?"

Roxy was well-traveled and knowledgeable; she recognized this kind of worm magic beast.

"Trouble, these things are nest-type magic beasts; a place where a few can appear probably has their nest nearby."

Roxy's expression turned serious; her magic staff had not come along with her.

However, fortunately, the Crystal of Love Accessories were still being worn.

"Water Elemental Summon."

The demon girl didn't use magic to attack the enemy directly, but used summoning arts; three water elementals appeared beside her.

"Bang bang bang~"

After experiencing a battle that wasn't very fierce, the Steel Crawlers left a ground full of worm corpses and chose to withdraw.

"Is this the Transfer Labyrinth of the Becalite Continent?"

And Roxy had already obtained information about this unfamiliar place from the skeletal remains.

【Wait for rescue, or attempt to leave on your own?】

Roxy only hesitated for a moment, then chose the latter.

The reason was nothing else, simply because she had no food supplies on her, plus the three water elementals' guard strength was sufficient; choosing to leave was more efficient than waiting for rescue.

Having made her decision, Roxy issued magic commands; the three water elementals currently devouring the magic crystals in the magic beast corpses on the ground gurgled and cleared the way.

And the Transfer Labyrinth, as the name implies, is a labyrinth filled with large numbers of transfer magic circles inside, an ancient ruin left behind from antiquity.

So, very quickly, a transfer magic circle was discovered; only it was unknown where it led.

"Forget it, this should be an area without a map; can only try. Let the water elemental go over first; after confirming safety, I'll go over."

The skeletal remains Roxy found clues from seemed to have strayed into this unknown region, which was why they were trapped to death in this karst cave; so the map on that person was completely useless.

"Hmm, the magic power mark exists; the transferred water elemental is safe. But to prevent the situation where each transfer is a random transfer, next I'll transfer together with the remaining two water elementals."

Roxy first directed one water elemental to stand on the transfer magic circle; after it transferred over and she confirmed the water elemental was fine, she stood on the transfer magic circle together with the other two water elementals.

Only, Roxy, who wanted to leave this labyrinth, was not clear that she was not breaking free from this labyrinth, but rather continuing to go deeper into this labyrinth.

And this place is precisely near the Labyrinth City Rapan on the Becalite Continent, the most famous and still an unknown-region exploration death-rate super-high Transfer Labyrinth.

In the Royal Court Garden of the Asura Kingdom, this country's Second Princess Ariel was discussing their respective preferred female breast shapes and colors with her Follower Knight Riku, using desserts as metaphors, while Clerk Official Derrick earnestly remonstrated beside them.

"Boom—"

The woods not far away emitted a huge commotion; a D-rank magic beast wild boar was directly transferred into the woods of the royal palace garden.

The Follower Knight Riku drew his sword, but facing the thick-skinned and tough magic beast wild boar, he, a mere intermediate Swordsman, was soon knocked flying.

Clerk Official Derrick, who had no martial prowess, when the magic beast wild boar looked this way and began charging toward this side, did not abandon his lord and flee, but stepped out to block the inevitable road the magic beast wild boar wanted to charge through to reach this side.

"Princess Ariel, you must become Queen. Riku, from here on it's up to you."

Derrick seemed prepared to be trampled to death, entrusting his final words.

"Wind Blade!"

Just as the knocked-flying Riku and the somewhat frightened Ariel widened their eyes, about to witness the loyal retainer's death, a powerful wind magic descended from the sky; the charging D-rank magic beast wild boar had its pig head severed in the blink of an eye.

"Ah—"

The headless corpse continued sliding forward due to inertia; when it reached Derrick, it sprayed the loyal Clerk Official who was prepared to die all over with blood, making the other party, whose nervous heart had risen to his throat, involuntarily cry out in alarm.

When he discovered he hadn't died, but the magic beast had, he took off his glasses, wiped them, put them back on, raised his head to look up, and saw a green-haired girl floating in the air, asking this way: "Are you all alright?"

Sylphy was also transferred, appearing high in the air; and with the rich loop memories of being taken into the sky to play by Broly, the matter of suddenly appearing high in the air didn't make the girl too panicked; she only fell some distance downward, then used wind magic to stabilize her figure in midair.

"Who are you?"

Ariel asked.

"I, I am Sylphiette."

"Princess, this is a suspicious person; please do not approach."

Riku had already climbed out of the water pool, watching the girl floating in the sky with great vigilance, and came to Princess Ariel's side; his gaze, however, was fixed on Sylphy's green hair.

"Riku, the other party just saved Derrick, and also saved our lives."

Ariel pointed at the magic beast wild boar corpse in front, and said a sentence with some dissatisfaction.

"How could a magic beast suddenly appear in the royal palace garden? The guy in the sky has unknown origins, and has green hair; it really makes one suspicious."

"Ah, I'm not a suspicious person. Actually, I suddenly appeared in the sky; I originally wanted to come down and ask someone what place this is; I just happened to see from the sky that you all needed help over here, so I flew over to this side."

Sylphy hurriedly waved her hands to explain; and as she spoke, she wanted to fly away, directly leaving this place.

"Please wait a moment."

"Hmm?"

"I believe you are not a suspicious person. You saved me, and you saved Derrick. If there is anything you need help with, please feel free to speak up."

Princess Ariel tried to keep Sylphy, but the reason was not only because this girl who fell from the sky had saved her; there was also a part because Sylphy could fly.

Flight, for Princess Ariel who lacked a sense of security and had long endured assassination attempts, was an extremely attractive capability.

"Eh, you come from the Fittoa Region?"

"Yes, it is a place called Buena Village in the Fittoa Region."

"So, are you just passing through here?"

"No, I suddenly appeared here from the sky. It seems something happened on the Fittoa Region side."

"What matter?"

"Brother Broly suddenly said at home that some enormous magic power had appeared, rushed out the door, and then before he could return, I arrived here."

Although many loops have passed, Sylphy has always been a child; a consistently happy childhood experience would not let her grow into an adult, so her explanation of the situation is still quite childish.

"Then what are your plans now?"

"I want to go home."

"This is Ars. The Fittoa Region is very far from this place. How about you stay here for the time being, and afterward I will think of a way to send you home?"

Princess Ariel proposed, and at this time the Asura Kingdom's court guards only then rushed over and appeared on this side with a huge commotion.

Princess Ariel stopped Luke from scolding the late-arriving court guards, had them investigate the reason for the monsters' appearance, and then intimately pulled the green-haired girl she was meeting for the first time to sit down.

"Would you like to eat some dessert?"

Sylphy never had much of her own opinion; upon learning that this place was too far from her home, fundamentally not something she could easily fly back to relying on her own power, she accepted Princess Ariel's suggestion.

"Right, Miss Sylphy, you can fly in the sky; that is the power of magic, correct?"

Princess Ariel probed into the conversation.

"Mhm."

The somewhat simple-minded Sylphy nodded directly.

"Amazing magic. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me, what magic is it?"

"It is just the most ordinary Blow Wind Spell. As long as you control the wind direction and wear loose clothing, you can fly up very easily."

"Is it that simple?"

"This is not simple at all. I practiced for a long time before I could do it."

Princess Ariel's EQ was very high; guiding the topic, she very quickly inquired about the girl's magician rank.

"Roxy-neesan said I already have the strength of a Saint-ranked Magician."

Immediately after, Ariel felt the girl's way of speaking was somewhat childish, so she asked about Sylphy's age.

"If it is just this loop, I am only 10 years old this year."

Princess Ariel covered her mouth in surprise. A 10-year-old Saint-ranked Magician — where did this monster come from?

Just as this Princess, because of the strength Sylphy displayed, had an attitude toward the green-haired girl that was enthusiastically different from the original work.

On the Magic Continent side, near the Evil Spirit Forest, Rigelud of the Spearude Tribe was witnessing a one-sided massacre.

A red-haired girl wielding a short sword charged back and forth among a pack of Terror Wolves.

Sword God Style Swordsmanship and Water God Style Swordsmanship were used by the other party seamlessly and proficiently.

In Rigelud's opinion, he felt that girl had at least the strength of a Saint-ranked Swordsman, and moreover an existence not weak even among Saint ranks.

He, who had heard some abnormal commotion, rushed over to check the situation, saw a child fall into a monster encirclement and face imminent danger, and was preparing to lend a hand — but fundamentally had no opportunity to act.

Oh no, that's wrong. Rigelud keenly detected that the Terror Wolf pack leader was lurking toward the red-haired girl's rear within the wolf pack.

So, he did not hesitate to raise the long spear in his hand and threw it at that pack leader.

With a *pu-chi* sound, the pack leader was directly pierced through the head by the long spear.

And the wolf pack, having lost its leader, facing a red-haired girl even more terrifying than them, immediately chose to flee.

"Hey, don't you run away!"

Eris chased for a distance but couldn't catch up, and walked back angrily.

"You bastard, what exactly did you do?!"

Rigelud had to retreat several steps, because the angry red-haired girl's raised hand was almost poking his nose.

"That was the pack leader. It wanted to sneak attack you. I saw it, so I killed it."

Rigelud's voice was very hoarse; he who rarely spoke with people in the wilds did not speak very fluently.

"Hah, you think I didn't detect it? I precisely knew it was the leader of that pack of monster wolves, so I deliberately detoured around it and didn't strike it. But you, this bastard, wiped it out, letting all my sparring targets run away!"

Eris was furious, stamping her feet continuously.

"S-sorry......"

Facing the red-haired girl's accusation, Rigelud retreated again and apologized.

Hearing the apology, Eris gradually calmed down, took a deep breath and exhaled, then said to the green-haired man: "Since you apologized, this young lady isn't a petty person either, so I'll forgive you. However, you, this guy, need to tell me one thing."

"What thing?"

"What place is this?"

"You don't know what place this is?"

"How would I possibly know?"

"Then how are you here?"

"That's what I want to ask too?"

Eris was originally practicing swordsmanship by the river, but then suddenly appeared in the middle of a pack of resting Terror Wolves.

Then it became sword practice with actual combat opponents. Rigelud was actually drawn over by the girl's sword practice battle.

After the wolf pack fled, Alice finally paid attention to her surroundings.

"This is the Evil Spirit Forest in the northeast of the Magic Continent..."

Rigelud replied.

"Then how did I run over to this side?"

Alice asked.

"I don't know."

Rigelud shook his head; being asked this question, how could he possibly know.

"Do you know where the Migurdia Tribe's village is?"

"Mm."

"Lead the way, I want to go to the Migurdia Tribe's village and use the Transfer Magic Circle there to return to Buena Village."

Alice directly took command, and Rigelud silently nodded and began leading the way.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

On the road, Rigelud looked at the girl beside him, who was not afraid of him at all, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hah, why would this young lady fear a guy like you?"

"I am, of the Spearude Tribe..."

"Oh, heard of it, the tribe cursed by the Cursed Spear, right?"

Alice said casually, then noticed the green-haired man beside her stop walking.

"What did you say?"

"What did I say?"

"About the Cursed Spear."

Rigelud's expression turned somewhat terrifying; just as he was about to press Alice about his tribe's Cursed Spear, Alice didn't want to make any troublesome explanations and was about to draw her sword and fight this green-haired guy.

A figure appeared on the horizon, arriving here in the blink of an eye; a terrifying wind pressure swept over, directly causing the two people here to subconsciously take horse stances and lower their centers of gravity to avoid being blown away.

"Alice, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Broly, are you here to pick me up?"

Alice directly sheathed her sword and ran toward the appearing Saiyan boy.

"Mm, it seems everyone was scattered to various places."

Broly nodded; he had flown over here only after sensing Alice's aura.

And flight took up only a small portion of the time; distinguishing a familiar aura from a large mass of auras was what took most of the time.

Although Broly was very familiar with the auras of those beside him, after all not everyone had a terrifying aura volume like the Dragon God, so finding one among a large mass of auras was still quite difficult.

"Wait, I have something to ask."

Just as Broly was preparing to leave with Alice, he was stopped by Rigelud.

"It's Rigelud, what do you want?"

"You know me? No, that doesn't matter; that child just told me that our tribe has some Cursed Spear; please tell me, what is going on?"

"Sorry, my family seems to have been transferred by Transfer Magic to various places in this world; I don't have time to explain this to you now, I'll come over and tell you when I have time."

"Migurdia Tribe."

"Mm?"

"I will be active near the Migurdia Tribe's village; please be sure to tell me afterward."

Broly's words were very clear, so Rigelud did not get overly entangled.

"Magic Stone Multi-headed Dragon, indeed a tough guy, but the Ice Swordsman's sword is a physical attack."

When Broly arrived at the Becalite Continent, Roxy had already brought her three summoned Water Elementals and found the boss at the deepest part of the Transfer Labyrinth—a multi-headed dragon covered all over with a large amount of Magic Stones.

The three Ice Swordsmen transformed from Water Elementals attacked the great dragon together, while Roxy assisted her summons from the back row; she was almost able to solo kill this multi-headed dragon, and by the time Broly descended from the sky in physical form, eight of its nine heads had already been chopped off.

Pity there were no outsiders to witness this scene; otherwise, probably here at Rapong in this loop, a legendary story would be born of Water Emperor Rank Mage Roxy Migurdia slaying the dragon alone.
