The length of the passage is starting to annoy me.

I feel like I've been walking along this passage for 10 minutes, but there hasn't been a single turn.

How big is this place exactly...

As we continue forward, I try to send messages to other people's terminals.

But when I press the send button, it displays "Space restriction, unable to send."

It seems that our abilities and functions are limited within this ruin.

However, I can still use magic from various elements, so it seems that only certain abilities are restricted.

One of the abilities that is no longer working is the control over pure white.

Now it's impossible for me to control her with my psychic power, no matter what I do, pure white doesn't respond.

"By the way, why doesn't this passage have an end..."

"Because this passage is actually a circle."

Pure white's words startle me.

"What did you say? This passage is a circle?"

"Yes, Fir, didn't you notice? This passage isn't straight, it's a circular one. It's just that the curvature is small."

"I see, so that's why. I couldn't figure it out, but because you're not human, you were able to notice immediately. Well done, pure white!"

"Mhm, mhm, I'm so happy to be praised by my master~"

Pure white jumps with joy.

"How far are we off track? Maybe we can estimate the size of this place."

"How far off track?"

It seems that pure white doesn't understand what I mean. I think for a moment and come up with a solution.

"Ice totem!"

A massive ice pillar starts growing upwards, but it reaches the ceiling in less than 10 meters!

An invisible ceiling? Luckily, I didn't stand on the ice totem to test it, or I would have been flattened like a pancake.

The ice totem shrinks a bit, and I push it forward. It topples over.

I push it against the wall, carefully compare it, and measure the distance from the midpoint of the ice totem to the wall... Well, it looks like the area is at least around 10 square kilometers.

This place is terrifyingly huge, isn't it?

How could a maze be made this big? What kind of mindset is this...

And now we have no direction to choose. If I were to go east, I might end up in the eastern continent through an underground passage.

But the problem now is that we have no way to leave this super long passage. How can we get out of this circular passage?

"Pure white, was there any path in the route we just took that leads out of this circular passage?"

"Unfortunately, master, the entire passage is a complete route with no branching paths."

"Do you know which direction is east?"

"... Let me try."

After saying that, she closes her eyes.

"What are you doing..."

"Because I can slightly feel where I was born, but I'm not sure if I can feel it..."

Where she was born... I see, the east?

"I got it, it should be that way!"

After saying that, she points to the right wall.

"Great, that will do!"

I smile and extend my right hand.

"Great ultimate·Sanction·Tearing Cross!"

The red cross knight sword materializes in my hand.

"Enhance!"

Then, I forcefully thrust it into the middle of the wall!

Snap!

Although not much, the blade directly pierces through the gap in the middle of the wall!

Great, it seems that this wall can be destroyed, that's good.

If it said "Space restriction, unable to destroy," that would be troublesome.

Remembering that, I walk to the other side of the wall, press against it, and the ice totem extends from the wall. It directly collides with the red knight sword still stuck in the wall!

Boom!

Cracks on the wall around the knight sword keep expanding. I shorten the ice totem, then strike again!

Boom!

A huge basketball-sized hole is directly cracked open on the wall!

But this is not enough. I take out a hand grenade and place it in the crack of the wall.

The next thing to do is to take Pure White and walk further away, then summon an ice wall to block the impact.

Boom!

This explosion feels really different. The shock of the explosion made me unconsciously take a step back.

After removing the ice wall, a wall with a large hole appeared in front of us.

However...

The wall is actually slowly repairing at a speed we can see!

"Hurry, Pure White!"

After saying that, I pulled Pure White directly through the big hole.

"Master is really amazing! What was that thing that blasted a big hole in the wall?"

"Just a small tool. Well, now let's go east... but we have to get rid of some guests."

Looking at the complex passages around us, as well as the monsters that came over because of the explosion, I shrugged.

"Can't escape the fate of running through a maze, huh."
