"Looks like you guys know a thing or two about the Dagger of Death. I remember according to the book, after sealing that guy's soul with the Dagger of Death, it was taken to a hidden place by the demon lord of that generation. According to the book, that was a place where it could not be taken by anyone."

Sorry, I'm a bit supernatural. I not only took the Dagger of Death but the whole maze as well.

Seems like I inadvertently stumbled upon equipment with such a big problem, and at that time, the item information didn't even prompt me...

No, actually, I don't think I even looked at it.

Well, anyway, that's how it is. In short, the equipment dropped by defeating the boss unexpectedly had strange elements added. So, we've been stuck with this time bomb for so long...

It might be better to just leave it lying underground, huh.

But, come to think of it, how was that thing unsealed?

Just as I was pondering this, Oyado had already taken out the Dagger of Death.

"Ah, so it's this."

The demon lord looked at the dagger, then looked at me.

"How free are you guys exactly, daring to challenge the ancient maze, not training your levels more when you have the chance, and improving your skills properly instead of playing in mazes."

"It's not like I wanted to, I was just forced in."

"Is that so... Well, your luck really is quite bad, most people wouldn't even go to such a place in their lifetime."

"Blame me?"

The demon lord shrugged.

"Well, in any case, that's the situation. You've come into contact with the Dagger of Death, and his soul sensed similarities between your body and his, so he stayed near your body, waiting for the moment your soul loses control so he can immediately take over."

"What should I do then? I don't know any soul magic."

"The only way is in your hands."

The demon lord pointed to the Dagger of Death in Oyado's hand.

"The solution lies in how it came about. By stabbing that guy with the Dagger of Death, you can passively draw his soul into the dagger for 3 hours, and during these three hours, you cannot be separated from the dagger."

"How do you know all this so clearly..."

"Because I suspected that guy might be the one sealed in that dagger, so I did a little research."

The demon lord said casually.

Clearly, you're the true idle one here...

"In any case, we now know how to deal with that guy. What's next? Charge in and take him out?"

"Hey hey hey, that's not a simple matter. That guy has plenty of people as strong as you under his command."

The demon lord said with a wry smile.

"And those demon gods won't take action as long as the other party doesn't attack their territory, so the only ones willing to help are the owners of this territory and a bellicose warrior. I believe they'll be arriving soon."

"Hey, hey, hey, they've been fighting for so long, are they just going to keep watching each other and not make a move?"

"No choice, at the beginning they were quite nervous, but when they saw that the other side was stuck in front of our first line of defense, they just retreated to their own territories."

...

What a group of peace-loving friendly folks. If everyone in the world were so peace-loving, there would never be any wars.

"By the way, who are those two peace-loving individuals?"

"Well, one of them you already know."

"We know them?"

"That's right."

The Demon King smiled faintly.

"You'll meet them soon."

...

Yes, one of the two people who appeared in the afternoon is someone I know.

Come to think of it, the weapon in my hand was given to me by him.

Yes, this guy is Liejiao.

Yes, indeed, he was the most powerful ghost, Liejiao, who was summoned by some idiot back then.

I remember receiving a Ghost Breaker greatsword full of friendship from him back then, but I haven't used it since I became proficient in magic, after all, it's very inconvenient to use a greatsword.

But at that time, I think I inserted a magic wand into him or something, and then it disappeared. But now, seeing him unscathed, I suppose everything's fine now?

The other person is... a green-haired... um... flat-chested girl.

Yes, the only flaw in this girl, who seems to exude infinite charm, is her lack of a chest, and just now I almost mistook her for a handsome young man.

If I hadn't seen her title.

【The Aquamarine Enchantress】Kristina, the eighth abyssal demon, controls the night demons, the nightmares, or the abyssal demon race of dream demons or something like that.

At the same time, she is the lord of this territory.

"Hey~"

Liejiao walked up to us and bent down to look at us.

"Isn't this a human? Boss, are these the people we are supposed to join forces with...?"

"It's them, no mistake."

"What's wrong with that?"

Kristina floated in front of us, her body clad in a green leather outfit floating in mid-air.

"I adore lovely teammates the most~"

I have to say... they truly live up to being someone who controls dream demons and the like...

"Don't underestimate them, Liejiao, don't you remember? They once fought you to a draw."

"A draw? How is that possible..."

The other party chuckled, but after scanning us all, took something out of who knows where and threw it on the ground!

"I remember now! It's you guys, those guys from back then! Whose magic wand is this! I challenge them to a duel!"

"It's mine!"

I stood up abruptly.

"What do you want?"
