The Labyrinth Map can basically be judged as Wakaba-san's territory, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to enter this map.
It's like a hidden map in an RPG Game: when a player enters this map, the Boss's wandering mechanism is automatically triggered, and once the player gets close to the Boss, they will be chased all over the map, leaving only two options: killing the Boss or fleeing miserably.
And this Boss is simply too strong.
Killing this Boss is fundamentally impossible. Besides, this isn't like a game; she and Wakaba-san were classmates, and Wakaba-san had helped her before. It would be impossible to consider killing Wakaba-san, this Boss, just for temporary convenience, right? Even she felt that idea was truly terrible.
Shaking such an absurd thought out of her mind.
Classmate Tsukasa said to Eidor, "It seems we can only rely on random Spatial Teleportation to avoid Wakaba-san's surveillance and search for prey on the Middle Levels, which are unfavorable for spider survival. Based on what we know, her eyes are mostly concentrated on the First Level, with fewer numbers on the Middle and Bottom Levels."
"Mhm." Eidor didn't say anything.
Even though she inwardly thought it was risky, she chose to silently support Classmate Tsukasa, because her initial advice was to use the System's power sparingly, especially since she had told Classmate Tsukasa that the System's power was unreliable.
Which makes sense.
A System whose original purpose was to facilitate energy recovery—how could it truly be so convenient for making people stronger? In reality, it was just raising the user like livestock. If Classmate Tsukasa hadn't urgently needed greater power and lacked the time to study the Ancient Cultivation Method with Eidor, she would definitely choose Eidor's method between the two.
But the current problem is.
The Ancient Cultivation Method is time and energy consuming.
And Classmate Tsukasa urgently needs strength right now.
So she cannot choose.
Besides, only children make choices.
She chooses to have it all.
Therefore, she couldn't possibly give up the Training Ground in the Labyrinth. Her current level is still very low, and grinding Monsters is the best way to quickly gain massive experience. The Labyrinth environment is optimal.
She couldn't abandon the idea of going to the Labyrinth to level up just because Wakaba-san, the Boss, was there.
In fact, Wakaba-san's little spiders don't have much combat power. If they didn't possess despicable methods like Corrosive Attack and Self-Detonation, she could easily beat Wakaba-san's Offspring.
And Wakaba-san generally doesn't seem to be inside the Labyrinth. After all, Wakaba-san is a High-Ranking Cadre of the Demon Lords Army and a Legion Commander. At this time, when relations between the Human Race and the Demon Race are tense and war could break out at any moment, even if the Great Labyrinth has been occupied by Wakaba-san and become her territory, Wakaba-san probably wouldn't have time to go home.
The evidence is that she was chased by spiders, but none of those spiders were individuals representing Wakaba-san herself; there were no powerful Clones strong enough to be called a Boss. Therefore, it can be concluded that those spiders are merely Wakaba-san's eyes. But even if she sees Classmate Tsukasa there, whether Wakaba-san will come looking for her is
an unknown.
Because Wakaba-san is very busy.
Furthermore.
Their Teleportation Magic is random.
Moreover, Eidor established an Altar, which not only allows them to teleport at any time but also provides excellent Counter-Reconnaissance effects. So far, Wakaba-san hasn't been able to crack what Eidor set up. As for the more specific and detailed content of this.
Since Classmate Tsukasa doesn't know Spatial Magic and might not even have the aptitude for it, she truly has no way to explain the details.
----
At the same time.
The Demon Kings Castle.
The Spider Child, who had been working, stopped. She had just received news from her informant that Tsukasas Father, who had previously escaped, had returned to the labyrinth. It seemed they intended to use the labyrinth Monsters to gain EXP. When they left, they used extremely sophisticated Spatial Magic, seemingly prepared to counter tracking skills.
When she tried to track the location of that magic, she received a jumble of information and couldn't pinpoint their whereabouts through that method. However, from Tsukasas Father's attire, she could determine that they were likely hiding in a place where humans lived.
"Things have become a little complicated."
The Spider Child thought of a certain Reincarnator's skill.
This skill was called "Student Handbook."
The person who possessed this skill was their teacher.
The skill's effect was to acquire information on all Reincarnators, or students. It recorded all information about that Reincarnator from birth to death. The reason the Elf Race searched everywhere for Reincarnators was also because of this skill; they knew all about the Reincarnators.
Previously, it was unclear whether Classmate Tsukasa was lucky or unlucky, but because the village where she was born was too remote and backward, lacking even a name, the Student Handbook only contained the record:'She was born in an unnamed village on the periphery of the Monster Mountain Range.'
However, there were many such villages. The Elf Race couldn't find a shortcut in this matter, so they had to use a clumsy method, searching village after village, until they finally found Classmate Tsukasa. By then, the Elf Race's previous child trafficking plan had been completely thwarted by the Hero.
At this point, if they didn't want this matter to be linked to their Elf Race, they absolutely couldn't use their previous methods. So, they proposed to Tsukasas Father to buy the girl, but they never expected that Classmate Tsukasa, upon learning she was to be sold, decisively chose to escape and even fled into a troublesome place like the Monster Mountain Range.
It was then that the Spider Child's forest patrol informant discovered Classmate Tsukasa's existence, immediately confirmed her identity as a Reincarnator, and decisively killed the Elf Race's pursuers. She then dispatched a Clone to silently protect Classmate Tsukasa from behind.
Later, when she finally decided to recruit Classmate Tsukasa into the Demon Lords Army, she never expected that the other party would escape right under her nose.
But let's put that aside for now.
Even the Spider Child thought it was too ridiculous at the time; ultimately, she had been careless. Otherwise, Classmate Tsukasa and Eidor would never have been able to escape from her. She didn't want to continue discussing this matter.
The current key is.
If Classmate Tsukasa truly entered a human city.
Then... her information would definitely be updated in the Student Handbook.
Finding someone in a city.
Is much easier than finding someone in the Monster Mountain Range.
Moreover, if the Elf Race's Patriarch, that ugly fellow, were to personally intervene, Classmate Tsukasa's situation would become extremely perilous.
That's why she said.
"Things are a bit troublesome."
