Yeah the Great Orcus Labyrinth. The recent after story has them speculating, and realistically imagining, Oscar making his entire labyrinth a monster fest just to get under Vandre skin after they realize Vandre was the one worked hardest in all the labyrinths creations due to all the monsters he had to train. Oscars dungeon, which according to Miledi, was supposed to be the last one. Yet has no real gimmicks. Just a constant barrage of extremely powerful monsters. This makes the, think Oscar intentionally designed it that way lol

I decided to do another read before the last volume drops in English. I realized something I didn’t realize in my previous reads. In volume 2 the beast men see the forest as the labyrinth before Hajime rebuts them. They aren’t wrong however. Each labyrinth essentially has an outer and inner labyrinth.

Reisen: the gorge has dangerous monsters and the effect of dispersing magic.
Gruen: There is the desert, the storm, and the worms to deal with first.
Schnee: the sheer cold and snow.
Melusine: being underwater.
Barns: they have to go through the church just to get to it.
Haltina: the very forest and the need to get the beast men to assist.
Orcus: There the first hundred floors and I suspect outside the back door Hajime used, and potentially Yues uncle, probably requires all 6 marks of completion to enter normally since Miledi said it was intended to be completed last. Too bad the author didn’t expand on this in the ttj like the Melusine ruins and Gruen volcano normal routes.

On another note I think I have the order they intended for them to be completed.

Prerequisite
Orcus 1-100

Beginner labyrinths (no prerequisites)
1/2 Reisen: for humans
1/2 Schnee: for demons
3. Gruen

Intermediate (has prerequisites)
4. Melusine: requires Gruen to be completed
5/6 Barns: 2 labyrinths and defeating the church or an apostle.
5/6 Haltina: 4 labyrinths completed

Final
Orcus 101 - 200: stated by Miledi

Also I get the feeling the “evacuation” system in the Reisen labyrinth was installed by the other 6 liberators because they knew successful challengers would be out for Miledi blood by the end lmao. I could see Miledi confused while the rest reached a consensus that it was absolutely needed lol

I also realized why the author closed down the Gruen dungeon for the length of the story. If Hajime provided artifacts that blocked out heat like in the Schnee labyrinth, even Kouki would have a relatively easy time in the dungeon. Especially if Tio and Kaori were with him.

Just finished reading Volume 13 of the LN.
It was a really nice ending.

I feel that the author wasted a great opportunity before Miledi died. Maybe after the Haltina labyrinth, Hajime should’ve sent the group to the Reisen labyrinth. Would’ve been hilarious to see Kouki crack more and more as he came to realize there was true evil in the world and questioning his desire not to kill when meeting Miledi. Sure it doesn’t fit in his character arc but would’ve been hilarious to read lol. Or the author could’ve found an excuse for him to fail lol.

Heck even just sending them, sans Kouki, in the days before the battle would be hilarious

I’m starting to realize why Oscars house has an outdoors bed. It’s not a design choice but a practical one. It’s expected to be the last labyrinth completed but all the doors are locked behind his seal. After completing it, conquerors would fall unconscious due to the mental strain of concept magic. Any party members who hadn’t cleared all would likely panic and not think to take his ring immediately. The outdoors bed was meant to be a place for those who passed out to rest.

How I love volume 11. The first half may be depressing but the second half is almost nonstop laughs lol

I have to wonder if Tios homeland was actually taken into the Sanctuary by Ehit. We know there was other civilizations besides just the ones they stepped into being kept there.

Just finished the final volume and it is so satisfying. Would be awesome to see more stories of Oscar and Miledis reincarnations traveling around looking for the reincarnations of the other liberators.

To be fair, it's probably easier for Shirakome to write that kind of scene for Kohai-chan since she's still almost purely comic relief. Plus, the second button trope is typically meant for juniors. If the wives were to vie over it, the ensuing bloodbath would have produced an entirely different scene.

Wow!! Th LN actually gives Miledi and Oscar a happy ending we no longer need to worry about them Reincarnated as Hajime's children i do wonder will they reunite with the rest of the Liberators?
