Chapter 177 : The End of the Labyrinth, The Pale Phantom
Chapter 177: The End of the Labyrinth, The Pale Phantom
The text before Gauss’s eyes flickered rapidly.
One Light Spell.
Its lethal effect on the nearby Wandering Spirits was astonishing.
「Total Monsters Killed: 1526」
E n̄ŭ m̃ а̂
In an instant, a full 25 Wandering Spirits were reduced to ashes.
Moreover, if not for the rest of the Wandering Spirits on the outside fleeing quickly, the number would have been even higher.

Gauss was not surprised at the sight.
His Light Spell was no ordinary Light Spell. With the blessing of the Bone Wand, it carried a powerful smiting effect against dark creatures.
Thus, those Wandering Spirits just now, exposed under the Light Spell, had no difference from ordinary creatures thrown into a bonfire.
So it was.
W̄е̇ b̄n̄о́ v е l Ѐn úṁа̃
Even though no Wandering Spirits remained around.
The text before Gauss’s eyes still flickered from time to time.
「Wandering Spirit Killed *1」
Was it perhaps some of the escaping Wandering Spirits, still dying under the lingering effect of Scorching?

Finally, the kill count stopped at—
「Total Monsters Killed: 1535」
Еñu̇ m̌ а
In total, 34 Wandering Spirits had been purified.
「It should be fine now.」 Gauss cast a Light Spell on a large rock at the entrance.
The magical effect should last for a few more hours.
During this time, if any Wandering Spirits came, they would be dispersed by the Light Spell.
「Ha一一then I’ll go back to rest first, you should also sleep earlier.」 Arya’s eyelids were already heavy.
「Mm.」 Gauss nodded, setting up new Alarm Spells around the surroundings.

He then picked up a small brush, carefully sweeping the scattered white ashes on the ground into a transparent jar.
These ashes were the remains left after the Wandering Spirits’ deaths just now, and they should have some value.
Looking at the great hall, lit as bright as day under the Light Spell.
Gauss also yawned, returning to the tent.
He could probably be considered a natural Nemesis to ghostly-type creatures.
Ghost-type monsters already hated sunlight by nature, and his Light Spell came with a special striking effect. Now, with the added 【Scorching】, he had forcibly turned what was originally just an auxiliary spell for exploration and illumination into an offensive spell.

The only pity was that ghost-type monsters, due to the harsh conditions required for their formation in the material plane, were not frequently encountered.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to wait until just now to unlock this 26th entry in the normal Monster Encyclopedia.

Lying on the blanket, he could not help but recall again the faintly seen phantom of the Wandering Spirit earlier.
It seemed to possess a basic humanoid form, but taller than a normal human physique, and its body was covered with a strange shell-like phantom.
Was that perhaps the intelligent lifeform of a lost civilization era?
The night passed without further disturbance.
Ẇĕbn̊ o v ė l̊ E̊ nů mа̇
Until he awoke the next morning.
No further Wandering Spirits had appeared to disturb them.
Perhaps the Light Spell released in the camp was too effective, driving the rest far away. Or maybe only that particular group of Wandering Spirits had been nearby, and after suffering one blow, they had been utterly terrified, never daring to return to the hall again.
The two of them awoke later than usual.

「Ha一—」
Arya stretched lazily.

The longer Adventurers stayed inside the labyrinth, the more fatigued they seemed to become.
Whether it was caused by the environment or just psychological, no one knew.
「Let’s explore one last day today. Tomorrow, we start heading back.」 Gauss said to Arya.
「Alright, we should also return to Barry to replenish supplies.」 Arya nodded in agreement.
Gauss’s small team’s first labyrinth exploration had always been planned as short-term.
The gains from these past few days were already quite fruitful. They needed to go outside to digest them, and they had also received a labyrinth exploration “side mission” to search for the Azure Pavilion Key.

Gauss nodded, glancing at the Elite Monster interface of the Monster Encyclopedia.
“Slay 5 Elite Monsters (4/5).”
Would they be able to encounter the 5th Elite Monster on this last day of exploration?
After packing their backpacks and cleaning up the trash from camp, the two of them set out on their final day’s journey.
Throughout the morning, they continued advancing steadily across the verdant second layer.
Gauss’s normal Monster Encyclopedia gained several new entries.
Е̂.ň û m а. і d
Namely: Upright Beetle, Spore Mosquito, and Jumping Bug.
The total count of normal monsters in his encyclopedia now reached 29 species, progressing at a remarkable pace.

It was precisely because of the labyrinth’s diverse ecology that he felt confident in achieving the next target of “Collect 50 Normal Monsters.”
The three new monsters they encountered that morning were not particularly troublesome, though unsuitable as ingredients—they looked utterly unappetizing.
「The bugs around here seem to be increasing?」
Arya suddenly spoke.
Ën̄ u̇m̆ а̇
Waving her hand to drive away a persistent little gnat, she looked helplessly at the swarms of buzzing small insects fluttering in the distance. Though not aggressive, landing on the skin or burrowing into hair, they made one extremely uncomfortable.
「Yes.」 Gauss confirmed their position on the mental map in his mind.
The two of them had already traveled far eastward along the second layer of the labyrinth.
The path they had traversed was clearly lit up on the map.

Including the initial entrance, the place where they harvested Lantern Fruit, the sinking platform where they encountered the Mimic, the peculiar hall where they camped last night—at every special location, he casually left a mark to prevent forgetting later.
Of course, though they had traveled far, because of the linear structure, their overall exploration of the second layer was still very low. Most of the map remained pitch black.

After moving forward some distance.
The two suddenly halted—not because they wanted to rest.
But because—
Gauss stared at the road that abruptly ended before them, and exchanged a glance with Arya.
Looking down, beneath their feet and ahead stretched an endless abyss of roiling, pitch-black mist.
Like the edge of a map yet to be loaded and rendered.

From deep within the mist came a strange, unfathomable chanting. Neither quite song nor weeping, but filled with indescribable eeriness and foreboding.
「Is this the end, for now?」
Gauss recalled the descriptions in the 《Dungeon Guide》 about the labyrinth’s growth phases. They had likely reached the temporary boundary of the current labyrinth.
Perhaps as the labyrinth “grew” further, the subsequent regions would gradually open up.
Still, it felt uncanny. Gazing at the rolling black mist, Gauss felt a faint discomfort deep within.
Was this truly the end of the labyrinth world?

Yet the Light Spell in his hand had no effect, clearly showing that this was not some sinister entity, but rather a natural phenomenon.
「Should we head ba—」 Arya’s words were cut short as Gauss shoved her aside.

From above, a pale, streamlined figure plunged down like lightning.
「CLANG!!!」
Gauss, quick as a flash, pushed Arya aside while drawing his sword to block the strike aimed at the back of her neck.
Sparks burst where the steel longsword clashed with the pale hand blade!
Е n u ṁа
「Ugh一一」 Gauss groaned, as a tremendous force surged down through his blade, shaking his entire body and forcing him stumbling backward.
He staggered heavily for several steps, barely managing to steady himself, narrowly avoiding being hurled into the roiling black mist.
He lifted his gaze.
At the end of the labyrinth, they were confronted by a Pale Guardian.
