636 How to Clear an Annoying Dungeon
I punched the wall ahead of me with all my might. Yup, punched.
A hole opened in the around 20cm thick wall. I kept punching over and over again until there was a big enough hole to snugly fit a person.
Of course I'm not in Accelerated state. Normal mode.
THUD, pieces of wall fall every time I hit it. Once I thoroughly destroyed the wall that stood before me and the dungeon passage beyond it, I resumed my trip deeper into the dungeon.
Why am I doing this you ask, it's cause of that first image.
An endlessly straight passage connected to the entrance with no end in sight. I bet that would get me to the stairway to the next floor.
From that hypothesis, I arrived at this conclusion: I might as well just recreate the passage by breaking all the walls in the way.
So yeah, I punched the wall with all my rage like I was venting.
And sure enough I was right. I murmured 'Jackpot', when I saw the straight passage revealed beyond the broken wall.
"To begin with, it's not like I have to follow the rule just because it's a maze. I've got the power to easily break these walls, I'd be dumb if I didn't make use of it."
Yep, normally this is not possible. You don't come up with this kind of plan even if you've got the power either.
Psychologically, people stop when they hit a dead end. A psychological blind spot.
But what if they're equipped with the right tool to break walls? I'm sure they'll consider that option.
But what about if they're empty handed. Most people won't reach this kind of conclusion.
But I have the strength. A monstrous strength capable of breaking these walls bare handed.
Couple that with my perverse mentality that affords me to break the rules.
"I remember how dumbfounded I was when I read that character breaking maze walls in Trial of Ha*ta."
An out of the box line of thinking of the unrestrained. That left a huge impression on me which gave me this solution.

Afterward, I kept going straight ahead.
I kept bumping into left turns, right turns, T junctions along the way which I all ignored by wall breaking into the straight path.
By the tenth right turn, my punches could no longer break the wall in one hit.
But that didn't stop me. There was no stopping me. If Normal Mode doesn't cut it anymore, I'd just slice and dice these walls in Accelerated state.
(Even iron feels like tofu in Accelerated State, these walls have no chance.)
I took a sword from my magic bag.
Then I cut, and cut in Accelerated State before undoing it.
The sword sunk into the walls easily but it wasn't long enough to connect to the other side so I had to keep entering and exiting Accelerated State to check how it went.
I repeated the routine for some time before I got fed up with it and opted to push the cut walls away with my hands.
Eventually I arrived at the other end, to another straight path. The wall I cut was four meter thick.
I couldn't be bothered to punch these walls anymore and kept walking ahead in Accelerated State.
Nobody else is here anyway, no need to fear dragging someone in it.
I was already fed up when I came across yet another wall and repeated the above routine.
(I absolutely won't take any turn until I reach the goal. I just know I'd lose my bearing if I took even one turn. Forward and onward.)
My mindset has turned to that while feeling so done with anything mazes.
