"... Um." While looking at the towering stone walls around me, I noticed that there is no foothold that can be used for jumping.
I let out a voice in displeasure.
Due to the vast amount of water, this labyrinth is very humid.
When breathing in the air in the labyrinth, my lungs would also feel a little pain.
It's very uncomfortable.
I reached for the paddle and started paddling.
… and as I pulled the paddle, some of the water on the paddle splashed up, and a few drops of it landed on my clothes, making my mood worsen.
"Hey!! You! Do you have a key?" A man glared at me fiercely.
I ignored him and just sent him flying with a magic blast, knocking him out instantly.
Splash
Splash
Splash
... Okay, I have enough, it's time for me to use other means to move.
If I use wind magic to fly around the labyrinth…. It would cost too much magic energy, it wouldn't work in the long run.
What if I use earth magic instead?
"OOOO──" I started to chant earth magic, but was cut short due to a sudden strong disturbance that i felt.
I closed my eyes and gently shook the [Eye of Ender] that is in the [IRIS] staff —Walson said this was the name of the eye that looked like a gem.
And then, I saw a world made of magic.
Magic energy in the labyrinth, floating spirits, and magic energy that lives inside everyone.
I have always felt that the world made of magic is very beautiful. Walson said that this is called the inner world.
The somewhat obnoxious water elementals are blue orbs of light that appear everywhere and are quite hostile to me.
I continued to look, and then, I saw the magic flowing on the wall.
A very thick flow of magic power guards the wall, and once I try to change it with earth magic, the change will be strongly resisted by the flow of magic power.
… Forcefully changing the wall with earth magic would cost too much mana… I need to find a better plan.
"%^*%*^%*&!!"
. . . . How noisy.
When I was in this state, the voice of the real world can only be vaguely heard, and it would always make me uncomfortable.
Using my inner world vision, I saw some people approaching me on their boat, the green magic power flowing in their bodies, and I saw the wind-attributed fairies are constructing some magic.
It's the [Wind Blade] magic.
… Without much thought, I send them a wind blade in return.
My wind blade cut his ship in half, making him plunged into the water, canceling his magic chant in process.
After that, I focused again on my current predicament.
If I can't use earth magic... Ok.
There is no rule that says I can't destroy the labyrinth itself, right?
I reached out and touched the stone wall.
Following my hand, the dividing line emitting purple light pierced into the surrounding magic flow.
Slice!
Soon, i was able to forcibly cut out a cube in the magic flow
"..." I pulled out the cube from the wall, and after wrapping my magic power, it floated beside me.
It's still not enough, I need to cut out a few more.
I touched the stone with my hand once more.
The magic energy flow is very strong, but it has no resistance to my dividing line at all.
It allows me to freely cut it apart.
This is my special ability, a skill I learned when I was level twenty-five.
[Block Handling].
I can cut anything into cubes through my hands and carry it with me.
No matter how hard it is, be it diamond or dirt, it is all the same, anything would be turned into a cube when it's touched by my "cutting line".
Everything is possible, but for some reason, I can't turn liquid into cube, which is a pity.
At first I could only carry one cube with me at a time, but after half a year of practice, I can carry around twenty.
Walson called this skill of mine [Domination].
When carrying it, the object can be controlled by me and can be made to fly around, it's a very interesting ability.
Walson said, this is an inherent ability of my race [Endermen].
...Why does Walson know so much about my enigmatic race?
… it doesn't matter, better spend my time cutting.
Fifteen.
Sixteen.
Seventeen.
Eighteen.
Nineteen.
Twenty.
Finished.
Twenty cubes created from magic energy floated around me.
I use nine of them to piece together a platform.
I jumped on it.
From now on, these floating cube is now my new vehicle.
The quantity of the water elemental fairies in this labyrinth is particularly high, even oppressing the number of other elemental fairies.
Therefore, using magic of other elements here will consume more mana.
As an alternative to the means of attack, I'm going to use the remaining eleven cubes that I [Dominate] as cannonballs.
I closed my eyes again and shake the [Eye of Ender]
There are many groups of magic power in various colors ahead.
Others, there.
Within a certain range, no walls can block the sight of [Eye of Ender]. Walson really gave me something amazing.
Then, the key... Ah, I saw it, something with a very special magic power wrapped around it, and it was hung on one of the magic powers.
"%$*$&%&*%^!!!"
"%(%^^%^*%*%!!!"
"!!!"
I opened my eyes.
I throw the floating cube around me to the people below.
Just relying on this block can't cause fatal damage to them, but it is enough to destroy the boat they are using.
A few fireballs and arrows flew over.
I use some of the floating magic energy cube to block them.
Deducting those used as flying vehicles, eleven magic energy cubes is more than enough to be used as a means of attack and defense.
Bump!
There. I managed to clamp the one who held the key between two cubes and flew her to me.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu... What kind of magic is this?"
"...[Lego Magic]." I said the first random thing that come to my mind.
I reached for the key and was about to throw her back into the water when I heard a commotion below.
Ah, those fish monsters.
"...Climb up."
Use cubes to gather all the wreckage of the ship together and turn it into a foothold for everyone to climb up.
It doesn't seem to be very stable, so I leave the five squares here and combine it into one together with the wall of the labyrinths. I can just cut another cube whenever I need it.
… I don't want to force them to abstain. If they abstain, they will have no credits for the competition at all.
Now, I need to go to the central altar.
In this competition, every participant can cooperate with each other to collect keys.
So there can also be multiple winners.
In doing so, they share the credits of the victory, but, I don't care about the credits.
I, occasionally, want to beat Melon.
Therefore, I must win.
That way, Walson can pay more attention to me...
