Chapter 7 (1/2)

I take Merlin along and walk through the labyrinth

After lots of crying, she calentler attitude

After talking abouther e first met

Also, If I didn’t make a contact with theht in the labyrinth, they could have left

However, she said with brave heart 「Since I beca like that could happen」, she didn’t blame me

I as chased around the labyrinth only because I sought warized to instead

However, after all,Merlin who doesn’t have a weapon to the exit

Although I say that, because I don’t knohere the exit is, I leave the guidance to her

And thus, the two people walk around

Merlin recovered a little fro her co

Those two people were her childhood friends, it seeether since they were young

From her childhood s

Though the communication was very enjoyable to me, it was pitiful at the same time

However, if she can feel a little better by talking, I will lend her an ear

She reported「The exit is close」soon after

My legs suddenly stopped and I looked behind

…… This is

It’s there On the other side of the darkness

An existence with powerful life force It’s just around the corner

The moment I sense that『Existence』, the chillness I felt increased by several times

Such thing is first My body in which theinto a cold sweat

There’s a wide difference in presence between it and the monsters I encountered so far

This felloithout a doubt the 『Predator』 There’s no way it’s so else

I quickly think about turning around and a way how to correspodingly repel it

However, the result is always the same

『I That presence of dense life force vividly shows it

If that’s the case, the thing I can now do is

I forcibly send Merlin alone towards the exit and block the passage by myself

I don’t feel any other signs of life in the passage from here to the exit She may escape from here safely

…… No matter what Merlin says, I’m partially responsible for the death of her friends

Therefore, the least I can do is to help her safely escape

It’s the only thing that the current me can do

Merlin’s heat behind radually weakens and then completely disappears

According to my heat detection, she safely left the labyrinth

Fro hypothesis comes to my mind, but now is not the time to think about it

…… Because I’ to die for the second time

The『Predator』is co with faint footsteps

Probably in another 30 seconds, it would reveal its appearance
