Chapter 035: Breaking through the Labyrinth of Tribulations
Translator: Tseirp
When I had finished sulking in bed, my stamina and magical power had completely recovered.
The angelâs pillow was indeed a cheat item as well. I conveyed my thanks to all the cheat item-samas.
Getting up after I stretched, I noticed that something had changed.
There was a large door. Looking at it somehow soothed my heart. It was emitting such an aura.
â ⌠I wonder why. Although it is merely a door, maybe itâs due to the aura emitted by the door, but I feel something welling up in my chest.â
I stood up and touched the door.
And then the door began absorbing my magical power.
âTsk, return my uplifted emotions.â
I couldnât remove my hand from the door. As the magical power flowed into the door, the door gradually became saturated and a pattern was drawn on it.
I donât know how much was absorbed but right before I was completely drained, the door emitted light and opened.
âI donât wish to plant a flag here but, I guess thereâs a last boss behind this.â
Reluctantly, I drank magic potions to recover my MP before stepping past the door. I immediately saw that the lower floor was semi-underground.
I slowly descended. When Iâve reached around the midpoint, I had a bad premonition and crouched down. It wasnât because there was an attack or anything.
I couldnât advance anymore. Intuitively, within my brain, I felt that something was signaling me to stop. As proof of that, my goose bumps were standing up vigorously.
Looking at what was captured in my crouching field of view, âIf this is the flag recovery that Katria-san told me about then what kind of devil is the Pope?â
An undead dragon was caught in my field of view.
There are European Dragons, Japanese Dragons and Oriental Dragons but this time it was an Oriental Dragon. (TL: ăăŠă´ăłăçŤăéž.They all refer to dragons, 1st one is dragon written with katakana used for foreign languages, 2nd one is written with the Japanese character for dragons and the last one is also a Japanese character for dragons but also a Traditional Chinese character for dragons)
In this worldâs classification of dragons, those with wings but canât fly well due to their heavy bodies are called Japanese Dragons (çŤ), while those with long bodies meant for flying are Oriental Dragons (éž).
Wyverns (ăŻă¤ăăźăł) are classified as flying Japanese Dragons (éŁçŤ) not capable of releasing dragon breath attacks. There are other types as well but it doesnât matter at the moment.
â ⌠Are you serious. After all thatâs still a dragon species. Just like in a certain gameâs V series, the one protecting a spear within a treasure chest found between dimensions.â (TL: Any idea which game heâs referring to? :X)
Half of the undead dragon was black like it had been carbonized while the other half shone with Holy Silver giving off a mysterious atmosphere.
âIs it possible for a healer to win against that? Eh? But that undead dragon ⌠isnât moving.â
I instantly summarized the few points I took notice of.
- If I donât approach any closer, it would not attack.
- Dragons are intelligent species so there is a chance that it can speak.
- ăSanctuary Circleă may be able to undo the undead-fication.
I fired myself up and casted ăRemote Magic Chantă. To encompass the entire dragonâs body with the magic circle and have an instantaneous effect, I drank a high grade magic potion and boosted my magical power to expand the magic circle.
I triggered ăSanctuary Circleă boosted with magical power.
ăBy the holy hand, by the breath of Mother Earth, by my wish use my magical power as sustenance, like wings of light, using a shield of purification, create a sanctuary that sears everything wicked and impure. Sanctuary Circle.ă
When Holy light appeared, the sleeping dragon stirred and violently struggled.
However, the dragon couldnât escape from ăSanctuary Circleă. When the pale light released from the dragonâs figure disappeared within the pillar of light extending up to the ceiling, ăGuoooooooă I heard itâs terrifying death throes followed by an earthshaking tremor ăDosonă.
âDid I succeed?â
I, who easily overcame the flag, should walk towards the dragon.
My intuition told me so.
When the light subsided, the large maw of the dragon was approaching right in front of my eyes.
I would be eaten without any opportunity to avoid, ah, Iâm a goner this time. I had thought so. But I didnât feel any pain.
Then, the dragonâs undead black bones turned white and it looked at me before abruptly speaking.
âTo defeat me with one hit, Iâll give you a reward. This labyrinth is called the Labyrinth of Tribulation. Therefore, through a magic circle, I can give you a blessing. Itâs perfect for a cowardly person like you. You can only enter here once so it is fine if you take everything here as well.â (TL: The dragonâs speech is annoying >.< He replaces all hiragana with katakana)
Various items like gold and silver treasures, weapons, armour, magic tools and luxury articles were there.
âYou ⌠you wonât bite me right? It is still under discussion whether the dragon species belong to the god beast or monsters.â
âRelax. This floor no longer has any evil miasma left. If you take the magic stone that is placed there, the labyrinth will disappear. What you do is totally up to you. It can be said to be a privilege reserved only for you.â
âWhatâs the reason for this labyrinth? What was the Pope thinking?â
âDragon species like me are reborn once a thousand years. Those like me didnât get reborn because the evil gods that control the demons attacked us and sealed us in places with accumulated magic.â
âShouldnât the heroes resolve that?â
âUnfortunately no heroes came by here. And then we who had been sealed by the evil god, due to the curse, began turning into undead.â
âI have a bad feeling about where this is going. You do know that I am a healer? Not something like a paladin?â
âUntil a hero is born, for the remaining 40 years of human lifespan, I hope that you can dispel the curse placed on us by the evil god.â
â ⌠Why is it that this canât be done by somebody other than me?â
âJudging by the encompassing demonic atmosphere, the demons that are close to the Darkness attribute are becoming stronger. It is uncertain if the hero would win against the Demon Lord.â
âMaybe. If thatâs the case, as somebody weak, Iâll try my best to survive. Thatâs all I can promise. I am neither strong, nor a foolhardy person.â
âKukuku, to call yourself weak after defeating me, youâve peaked my interest. Iâll give you my blessing.â
âThat will be good. Eh does this mean that since coming to this world until now it has been a prologue? If thatâs the case then itâs good that I passed it.â
âI have no idea what youâre saying. Young master who defeated me, what is your name.â
âLuciel. But itâs really fine, not only am I only a healer, I also donât want to die. Iâll be glad as long as the people I know are safe.â
âRelax, it will only make it harder for you to die.â
âIf thatâs the case then thank you.â
âKukuku. You are an interesting person after all. I hope that you would save my brethren.â
âI canât promise you that. I have neither the sensitivity to do so, nor am I the protagonist of a story, let alone do I have the capability of handling that.â
âI understand. Apparently, itâs time. My corpse will not decay immediately. I offer my blessing and corpse to Luciel.â
âIâm grateful for your offer.â
âThe demon forces are gradually growing stronger. Try to save my brethren if it is within the scope of your capabilities.â
âYeah I will. Because I donât wish to die.â
âKukuku. I have fulfilled my role ⌠F ⌠lu ⌠na ⌠Goodbye.â (TL: The dragon said Fuiruna with an additional âiâ but I think heâs referring to Fluna = The Popeâs name.)
Thus the undead dragonâs seal was undone. So his cycle of reincarnation had restarted ⌠I guess?
I had a bad premonition that the labyrinth would collapse if I did so, so I left the magic stone and instead stored all the other treasures into my magic bag. I was surprised when I saw 2 magic bags among the treasures as I gathered all the magic tools. (TL: The magic stone he left behind was the âHeartâ of the labyrinth. The one that once taken would stop the labyrinth from expanding)
Next, I sorted the dragonâs corpse. The Holy Dragonâs (provisional) scales, Holy Dragonâs reverse scale (TL: A reverse scale is said to be a legendary scale on a dragonâs throat that symbolizes a dragonâs wrath), Holy Dragonâs fang, Holy Dragonâs bones, and the undead dragonâs bones were stored into my magic bag.
And then, when I had stored everything into my magic bag a treasure chest appeared. Stored inside it was a spear as well as accessories.
âFor a mere healer to have such a surplus of items. Well, Iâm glad for the single fact that I can finally return. But.â
I think it would be good to only speak of what happened here with the Pope. Even the Popeâs attendants are out of the question. My intuition was telling me so.
When I made up my mind and jumped into the magic circle, it began glowing.
ăPingăăTitle âBlessing of the God of Healingâ obtainedă
ăPingăăTitle âDivine Protection of the Holy Dragonâ obtainedă
ăPingăăTitle âDragon Slayerâ obtainedă
ăPingăăTitle âOne who unleashed the sealâ obtainedă
ăPingăăDue to the oath with the Holy Dragon, you will now know the location of sealed dragonsă
When the light subsided, I was at the entrance to the labyrinth.
âI feel like Iâve been bewitched by a fox. Rather than that, Iâve been had by that Holy Dragon. ⌠I canât even begin to feel angry with my empty stomach. Ha~ Letâs return.â
Thus I departed from the labyrinth.
(TL: The fate of Luciel to get exploited continues XD)

game runner
This reminds me of how i defeated the ferelden frostback(Dragon age inquisition) there is a place where the dragons attacks dont reach you at all so you hide there and chip away at its hp it took me 2 hours to kill it because my level was half of its level.
chance thompson
He should have toke the core and tricked himself too do it not trick himself not to.
Anonymous
Did he ever grab the heart of the labyrinth?
Arthur Gibbs
Great Chapter, thanks for the story!

Latreria Falsafaria
-[Sanctuary Circle] is too OP!
-I wonder what his healer rank and holy magic level now.
-Oh… and this means he took all that time about 6 month against shisho while the Wight and Dragon only take… 1 hit. Shisho sugoi!
Anonymous
Thanks for the chapter, I belive the reference is FFV, because the final dungeon is a dimentional rift, and in a tresure chest, casually there, holds the one of the best equipment, protected by a dragon superboss Shinryu
Tseirp
Hahha yea đ well Shisho was a counter against him though coz Shisho could only be damaged by physical attacks
injamam
after all that he still thinks the labyrinth is an illusion and left the damn core behind *facepalms through my own face*

I juste hope the MC stop being so dense,
it's fun once in a while, But it's really annoying in the long term
Joseph Orellana
ho le shit…. well then….. the pope is going to flip shit…. also be shocked that he killed a dragon..
the pio
PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYTHING TO THAT ROBBER OF ITEMS POP!!!!!!! PLeeeeeASE!!!!! đ
Well, he will anyways so I guess it doesn't matter what I wish for đ
If he is lucky maybe the pop will only take half his items? if he is lucky đ
Thank you sooooooo much for translating such an amazing novel đ
P.S. I laughed so hard when the dragon called him a coward for attacking him from far away xD "smart cowards are the ones that live the longest" đ
the pio
undead dragon… as of now he should be above average against normal monsters(he got wrecked by paladins his same age even in stamina)… there is no way he can defeat a dragon(no undead) as a level 1 xD … But I'm sure that his stats will increase extremely fast per level so he should be able to fight normal monsters faster than most… đ

Thank you âĄâĄâĄ~~~

Thanks!

The MC is not Dense. He just easily make conclusions for something and believe his conclusions is true, so if someone say about the truth, he will just connect it with his conclusions thus began the misunderstanding.
Yukino o
I do the same but in my case, it got bug after I kill it and the dragon corpse disappear. I have to waste another few more hours to kill it again and end up sleep in the morning
MahotsukiKonran
He beat all of the bosses so if he needed he could probably destroy the dungeon any time he wanted.
Unknown
I MUST KNOW MORE! Awesome story, thanks for translating.

"Just like in a certain gameâs V series, the one protecting a spear within a treasure chest found between dimensions."
This is referring to Shinryuu in Final Fantasy V, fyi.
Baolong Chin
The only good new here is that the dragon tagged it's corpse to Luciel, thus no one else should be able to take it from him and he gets to keep the best crafting materials for end-game gear.
Baolong Chin
Why collaspe the labryinth when he can just continue to use it a a training sim to refine his stats/skills?
What would happen if he left the heart intact but cast Sanctuary Circle on it? Would the curch suddenly gain free underground storage space?
Tseirp
Lol interesting thought… It would be interesting if that happened… But either way he cleared all the bosses already so any regular team can go in and clear the labyrinth as long as they can withstand the smell xp
Tseirp
Ooo okays thanks đ
Tseirp
Hahah yea xD the dragon must have felt salty that he couldn't even touch Luciel before he got owned
Tseirp
Thanks đ

I'm still waiting to read Luciel's reaction when he learns that the labyrinth was real, that all of that danger and risk of death was not an illusion. đ
Patrick N
Thanks for the chapter đ
pat
well even if he was a lvl 1 he did spam a god lvl attack on it
Firebomber
in my case, it reminds me to 1 dragon battle in skyrim where I can hid in a small hut and shoot the dragon with arrows while the dragon can't attack me because I'm inside. I beat the dragon after about 38 arrows or so…
Nero raregroove
lvl 1 low profile cheater. thanks for the chapter
Ryuu Seigami
Thanks~ ^^
too bad for the last battle he didn't drink Object X lol~ XD
I'm curious about his stat now~ (i want his stat Increased Rate of Growth become lv X man~) and the effect of all that new titles~
Shin Ryu
wow didn't know that there's a dragon like that…
BlackHawkRider
….I hope he still doesn't think it was some kind of game or virtual reality through magic…..
Anonymous
So since he didn't take it this time, no one can ever shut down the dungeon? They're probably going call him a fool or something again, oh luciel.
leecher-kun
i just wanted to ask to be sure (taking into account that i'm really gratefull to you for translating while in vacations) there will be no more chapters this week, right?
Tseirp

Tseirp

leecher-kun

Ah… woe to me for not finding this story a week from now instead of being here right when you go on break.
But also Good for me that I found this in the first place.
Enjoy your break.
Lygar X
Crystal Dragon from Final Fantasy V. There is a dragon in a dimensional rift that a spear can be stolen from.
Lygar X
Shinryuu doesn't have a spear. but the crystal dragon does. Doesn't really matter. All he was asking was about which game.
ambi
Thanks for the chapter Tseirp!
