Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

It wasn't long before we returned to the capital (Salita) through the gate and gave a series of reports to the Dragon Man (Weiss).

Visiting the barracks, this time in addition to the dragon man (Weiss), he also looks like a leopard man (Lenz).

"We all came back safely often -!"

Before receiving the detailed report, they raised their voices of joy that we were all back safely.

These two have different backgrounds (whispers), but I don't feel bad when they honestly rejoice in their safety.

The dragon man (Weiss) and the leopard man (Lentz) listened to the report I told them, snorting intriguingly.

The Dragon Man (Weiss) apparently didn't assume until we defeated the Demon Man.

He didn't change his expression until we met the demon, but when he heard that he had repelled the demon, he gave him an honest look of surprise.

"- The individual power is great, but the collaboration was brilliant."

When Roberto added that, the Dragon Man (Weiss) nodded satisfactorily.

"This time, the demon also caused a lot of damage.

Io's defense team will be informed of your achievements. "

To the words of the Dragon Man (Weiss), I said with a bitter smile.

"I'm troubled if you treat me like a strange hero...

I need to ask you something more than that. "

"- What?"

"The demon man who showed up this time said he was the King of the Great Ghosts (Orgy King) Gino and was the demon man we had encountered in the past and should have defeated once. - And Gino remembered seeing us in the past.

I think Roar has seen demons appear several times in the past than he knows about the existence of the metastasis gates, but there have been instances where demons who should have defeated them reappear?

To my question, the dragon man (Weiss) and the leopard man (Lentz) look at each other.

After a short while, now the leopard man (Lentz) opened his mouth.

"- There is a demon who was crusaded by Weiss about two years ago, but there is a record that a demon very similar to that was crusaded again last year.

However, the demon will disappear on the spot when defeated, so we have not been able to ascertain whether he was definitely the same demon. When I received the report from the viewer, I just came to the conclusion that it was "very similar."

"Two years, not so long ago -.

More than that, you don't have that kind of record?

The leopard man (Lentz) shook his head quietly, closing his eyes.

"At least, as far as I know, it's not on the record"

――――

Then it seems likely that it was not so long ago that the Obertists began to grant reincarnation (linkage).

Lene knew that Obert was collecting demons of Dark Attributes. But I didn't know about reincarnation.

- That means that Obert has known for quite some time that reincarnation (linkage) requires a demon of dark attributes, but it is only recently that he has been able to specifically impart skills.

Either way, it seems certain that defeating the Demons is no longer an absolute means of protecting this world (Florence) from the invasion of the Demons.

“Even if I knock on the transfer gate, it's a mess." - My head reminds me of the conversation I had with Lene.

But knocking down the demon or knocking on the transfer gate, even if it was the same fling - I wanted to choose the more effective one.

"- Okay.

Even if you defeat the Demon Man, if it is possible to appear again, you still have to knock on the transfer gate itself.

I can't do it today, but we're still going to the transfer gate. "

Hearing that determination, the dragon man (Weiss) and the leopard man (Lentz) snorted quietly.

"Roberto should be able to guide you to the transfer gate.

There is no doubt that it is dangerous, but we also wish them success "

With the words of encouragement from the Dragon Man (Weiss), we went back through the gate (Gate) to the city of Io.

The next morning, the five of us decided to challenge the labyrinth (dungeon) in the "Out of bounds Mountains", making sure that the aftermath of the battle with Gino was not left on our bodies.

- Change the day, start over.

I'll make sure everyone has checked their proximity and open the gates to the mountains out of bounds.

"If we get there in front of the labyrinth (dungeon) at this morning's time, we'll be able to reach the metastasis gate within the high sun with no problems.

Really, space magic is convenient. "

Roberto says so and laughs.

Sure, it was hard to get to the extinct mountains, but you're right to pre-open the road to the front of the labyrinth (dungeon).

That allows us to challenge the labyrinth (dungeon) with a full attitude this time.

Roberto started talking before stepping into the labyrinth (dungeon) when everyone reached the front of the labyrinth (dungeon) saying they were all diving through the door (gate).

"Sir, I'm going to show you to the transfer gate, but you have to choose your path first.

“Road through the bottom” leaves demons (monsters) but is relatively safe. However, due to the large number of detours, it takes quite a while to reach.

Conversely, the "road through the top” has few demons (monsters) and can be reached as fast as the transfer gate. But there was only one difficulty, and it is slightly dangerous to pass there.

Well - which do you choose?

Too little information to choose just that statement for a boulder.

"Which path has Roberto taken before?

Roberto answered my question confidently.

"Of course, I've been through both.

“The path down there takes about four times longer than the path up there."

Hearing that, I laugh just bitterly.

"Then we won't talk about it.

The difficulty is not that Roberto can't pass if he has.

Pick your way through the top as a priority to get to the transfer gate quickly. "

"I understand."

Grace, who was listening to the conversation, made a slight expression, but she didn't end up in her mouth.

We follow Roberto's instructions to the labyrinth (dungeon).

Then, indeed, the road was split uphill and downhill along the way.

Roberto points to going up the road again, looking back at us once.

As I walked uphill, Roberto, who was at the head, called out.

"We're going out into a wide area ahead of us, but Harpy is coming at us from above.

It's not that many. "

As soon as he got out into the vast space, as he was right, signs of Bassava and the Harpies approached.

I felt the numbers were more than Roberto said, but the levels are pretty low.

"I'll take care of it. To this extent!

Sylvia shot down the approaching Harpi with one rock bullet after another (rock ball).

It is a one-sided struggle, as you can see in the Clay shooting.

Then decades later, the Harpies were wiped out, with nothing else to do but Sylvia.

"Isn't this - more of a hassle to pick up (rather than collect) the cost of possession?

Celestia looks at the possession (more so) scattered among the people (almost) and says:

"Mm-hmm, sure.

I didn't think about it because I was obsessed with taking it down. Maybe I should have just pulled it to the same spot and shot it off. "

Sylvia's words were a reflection that she could totally afford.

After we split up and collected the possession money, we followed Roberto and moved on.

As I walked, I found my feet gradually inclined.

A little bit from there, it comes fully uphill. Sometimes in the labyrinth (dungeon), all of them cannot be disarmed, which has slowed them down considerably.

"The road through the top - that doesn't mean a little bit and all the way uphill, does it?

When I asked, Roberto shook his head with a smile.

"No. If we cross this point, we'll go downhill."

I'm just relieved to hear that.

Upon climbing through the hill, the passage seemed to lead from there to a wide space.

Roberto proceeded normally to nothing, but me and Sylvia, who were walking behind him, were stunned when they saw the space ahead.

"Wait a minute. - What is this!?

In front of us, there's a huge bell cavern-like space, and we seem to be standing quite high in that bell cavern.

A very narrow bridge is crossed from the front to the back of its belly cave. Walk straight ahead and we'll be on a course across that narrow bridge to the back.

From the top of the bridge to the bottom of the bridge, it is likely to be about 30 meters. There were many skeletons and oaks beneath the bridge. That's exactly what it looks like waiting for the prey to fall.

"Are you seriously going to cross here?"

Sylvia, who doesn't like high places, shivers her voice slightly and interrogates.

"Oh, Mr. Silvia - did you not like the high places"

That's what Roberto told me, and I shook my head vertically to me, with Sylvia by accident.

"I'm sorry we're both bad at this, but we can't get to the transfer gate unless we cross here.

Don't worry. But you won't be attacked by demons (monsters) while you're crossing, so it's okay.

Well - naturally, if you fall, you die. Hehe. "

"Why, it's not okay at all -!!"

Sylvia screams sharply at Roberto, who deludes himself with an inferior laugh.

- Unfortunately, there's no reason to turn back from here.

"Hey, Kay. You go ahead and pick me up at the gate -"

"Sylvia, you're not just gonna let me cross, are you?

I throw my cold gaze at Sylvia.

She laughed as she let the boulder catch her expression, whether she thought it was bad for her too.

- Actually, with combat transfer (Battlegate), I think I can move to the back without walking. That, combined with the opening (gate), would allow Sylvia to carry the bridge without difficulty.

However, after some pranking and abusive work, I decided to give Sylvia a a normal challenge. If you're about to fall, you can support it with the Demon Wall (Magic Wall), so it's not as dangerous as it actually is.

Celestia, who was listening to me and Sylvia, gave me a frightened look.

"What's the big deal... It's not just about walking away"

Saying so, she quickly crosses the bridge.

Celestia crossed the bridge dignified and went straight to the back without stopping her legs along the way.

"Well, first of all..."

Then Roberto, cross the bridge in the order of Grace. We both reach the back without difficulty.

- The only ones left behind are Sylvia and me.

"Sylvia, cross first.

When you're about to fall, you'll be able to use the rock wall, and I'll support you from behind. "

When I say that, Sylvia crosses the bridge with a solo, even though she looks a little anxious about whether she's ready for the boulder.

Indeed, during the labyrinth of the abyss, there were similar situations (situations). It was so deep that I couldn't see the bottom then, but I don't think Sylvia was scared so far.

Considering that, I may feel a stronger sense of fear when I see under the bridge rather than when I see nothing. Moreover, this time there is a welcome of a large group of demons (monsters) in the place where they fell.

Sylvia was crossing the bridge very carefully. The Dawn Star wand (Staff of Rach) is placed in an asset (inventory) because it is not good when dropped.

- And as she plugged into the middle of the bridge, a loud roar rose from the oak under the bridge. Perhaps Sylvia, crossing the bridge, could see it from below. I found my prey, and it was so loud.

"Hi-!!"

Sylvia, surprised by the voice, unwittingly breaks the balance.

"Sylvia -!"

I accidentally raised my voice and tried to expand the Demon Wall (Magic Wall).

But she clings to the bridge with her hands on her knees.

Sylvia stayed put for a while. He pointed his butt at this one and is solidified in a crawling form on all fours.

Oh - I saw the pants.

Sylvia slowly stood up on the spot, looking back at me and screaming.

"Hey, Kay!! Don't freak me out!

"- It's not me!?

I'm pissed off for some reason. I don't know, but it's unreasonable.

She walked out solo again and managed to get to the back.

It's my turn next.

I transferred to the back with a combat transfer (Battlegate) all at once without walking on the bridge, taking everyone's gaze.

So we cross the bridge without difficulty. Of course, the bridge is not so far away, and it is a craftsman who can do it because the point of reach is in sight.

"Come on, let's go"

――――

When I speak up, everyone has a subtle vibe.

Sylvia looked at me.

"- Hey, Kay!

What is it now!? Hey I'm glad you didn't walk the bridge!?

"Oh, oh. Well, is that the way you think?

But I'm the only one who can transfer Battlegate. "

Shit, it's going to find out why I wanted to see Sylvia scared.

Fortunately, however, Sylvia pulled back just to mumble.

"Kay is definitely going first next!

With that said, Sylvia goes back behind me.

Seeing the end of the crazy talk fight, Roberto sighed lightly before starting to move on.

As Roberto said earlier, now the road gradually goes downhill.

"- Isn't the slope pretty tight?

Celestia opened her mouth as she advanced behind Roberto.

I can't go down with my body straight. I lay my body down and it was a slope that was going to slide off if I didn't take my legs down half a step at a time.

All five of us turn our bodies sideways and slowly descend the slopes.

Behind me - maybe upper-left to be exact - is Sylvia.

Sometimes Celestia and Grace moving forward were moving fast, and me and Sylvia were starting to subtly leave the previous three.

Maybe Sylvia was a little anxious to see it.

- I slipped my legs in a way that was no longer close to my promise.

"Khaaaa!!

"WOW!!

In the form of Sylvia sliding under my feet, she falls as she involves me.

I tried to keep from slipping down. As a result, the two bodies stop in a position where they stick their heads between Sylvia's legs and her legs as they slide off the top.

"Hey - what are you doing!?

"Do you know!! Oh, my God, that's my dialogue (line)!

When I stood up on the spot in a hurry, the three people who were going forward looked back and watched the situation.

I wonder what. Everyone's gaze - cold.

"- I'm leaving you."

When Celestia said potpourri, the three returned their heels and hurried ahead.

As I went down the slope, I could see that there was a large space ahead.

Just before entering that space (hall), Roberto looks back at us.

"This is where the problem is."

Hearing that word makes me and Sylvia's eyes dot.

"Roberto, wait a minute.

Isn't that what the bridge was?

Hearing that, Roberto shook his head with a bitter smile.

"My husband and Mr. Sylvia must have made it difficult on their own earlier.

This is the real “difficulty”.

- Look, try not to speak from there and look inside. I know why it's so difficult. "

Four people, with the exception of Roberto, move to the location indicated by him.

The moment I saw inside the space (hall) from there - all of them, lagging behind.

Celestia hurries back and stuffs to Roberto.

"- Hey, what's that!?

You can't fight that!?

Roberto replied with a laugh to Celestia, who said as she changed her blood phase.

"No - that's right, you won't be able to fight that one.

It's named (named) Agrios the Giant at First Sight (Cyclops), "

As Roberto said, there was a giant first giant in the space we saw (the hall).

Even when I say giant, it's not the same size digits as trolls etc. Perhaps the tall height is better than ten meters.

There was one big horn growing in my head with an exuberance of meat that wasn't enough for the word musculoskeletal.

A tall giant, exactly like Bill, stands backwards with a stick bigger than the size of a human being.

That wasn't the size of a human struggle against each other. If you weren't exactly ready to attack the castle, it wouldn't be a struggle.

"Roberto, not fighting means..."

Roberto nodded as I tried to check.

"Yeah, I'll keep it bare.

Fortunately, the first glance giant (cyclops) will never notice unless he makes a sound inside the hall (hall). She's too tall to get her sight under her feet.

So we pass quietly through this space (hall) one person at a time "

Hearing that, everyone gets silent.

Thinking about when you were noticed, I'm not sorry where my spine gets cold...

Anyway, you just have to move around without making any noise, which means you're extremely nervous, but you're all going to be ready.

"If we get past here, it's already a short way to the transfer gate.

- Then I'll show you an example, so watch carefully. "

As Roberto slowly moved to the entrance of the hall (hall), he entered the hall (hall), watching as the giant at first sight (cyclops) appeared.

Roberto crosses the steps along the way and crosses the hall in the footsteps he is accustomed to.

I thought the Giant at First Sight (Cyclops) might look back now, and the breath of those watching is going to get stuck.

Roberto safely crossed the hall (the hall) and urged us to follow him where we could see him.

"Okay, I'll go"

When Celestia says so, she enters the hall (hall) with a relatively bold foothold.

She was a little hassled crossing the steps, but managed to cross the hall as it was.

"I'll go next."

When Grace says so, he enters the hall (hall) with a light secret step.

"Abilities."

The sound has completely disappeared thanks to the secret step. Without having to look and be sure, Grace safely crossed the hall (hall).

"Sylvia, go ahead. In case I do, I'll come in and help."

"- Okay."

With a rather magical look, Sylvia walks into the hall (hall).

But obviously compared to the previous three, the footsteps are suspicious.

The moment I thought I would just look at it and get a hiatus - like I promised again, Sylvia fell down with her legs taken on the steps.

"-!!

From everyone I watched, a cry goes up without a voice.

But - there is something that made a louder noise than the voices of all of them.

It's the Dawn Star wand (Stuff of Rach) that Sylvia had in her hand.

Dawn Star's Wand (Staff of Rach) was slammed to the floor as Sylvia fell, making a loud dry noise. First, it would have been nice to keep it in an asset (inventory), but the hassle wasted creates an irrevocable situation.

"Voovo?"

You can hear the creeping first glance giant (Cyclops), and the giant looks back toward Sylvia.

Seeing Sylvia not up yet, I moved to her side with a combat transfer (Battlegate).

"Kay!"

"Hold on tight!!

"Don't forget your weapon!

I grabbed the cane Sylvia dropped and held her and ran straight across the hall.

At first sight the giant (cyclops), seen on the side, was found pointing completely at this one. I didn't know if I could get away with it, but all I think about is hugging Sylvia in my chest and running through desperately.

"Hey, Kay, no."

There was a suspicious voice coming up from Sylvia in her princess's arms.

Desperate I grab her weapon with my left hand and my leg, and hold her weapon with my right hand.

Both must be her weapons, but her right hand looks much happier.

"Ugghhhhhh!!

A voice rises from the giant at first sight (Cyclops), and a huge hand is approaching to get us.

Though I thought it was futile, I managed to use phantom magic to confuse it.

Fortunately, the hand of the Giant at First Sight (Cyclops) passes towards my figure made of phantom magic, a place that cannot be reached by both of us.

I am experiencing a tremendous crisis, but the fact that the giant's hand was successfully shaken was creating a greater sense of exaltation than my heart was in a hurry.

I open my eyes and hold my right hand as I enjoy the extra soft feel.

I can't let her go here. Above all, I can't let this go!!

"Ahhhhhh"

As I run, Sylvia is rocked up and down.

Shaking, she had a sweet voice.

I ran straight into the hall, where Roberto and the others were waiting.

Shortly after, the giant hand of the first glance (Cyclops) passes near me again.

However, the first glance giant (Cyclops) did not follow him any further and flipped back to his original location.

Good! Looks like we managed to get out of the crisis.

"Ha-ha-ha - I managed to help!!

I laugh at Roberto and the others, breathing on my shoulders.

Grace and Celestia also had a horrible look on their face and laughed at me.

- But that look cools down a little bit.

"- Kay, how about it's time to put you down?

Grace, who became an eye-catcher, told me to read like a stick.

Hearing it, I realize I'm still holding Sylvia back.

She dyed her cheeks in my chest and was shyly stiff.

Naturally, staying in a cuddle means - my left hand holds her weapon and my right hand holds her weapon (opium).

"Wow!!

I rush down Sylvia.

Seeing how it was, Roberto threw away the browned words.

"Hey, husband, you like it. Hehe."

"Don't laugh!!

I yell at my teared Roberto.

- Son of a bitch, Roberto's, how fun it is to be in the shape of an eye.

In a subtle atmosphere, Sylvia corrected her clothes with a red face and coughed one up.

"Cohon - thank God.

Guys, I'm sorry to bother you. Come on, let's hurry. "

Grace and Celestia smiled as they regained their attention to Sylvia's voice.

Roberto's right, it seems right from there to the transfer gate.

A narrow but straight stretch of road continues, which turns out to be a metastatic gate ahead.

In a gradually approaching and opening scenario, it turns out that a metastasis gate is much bigger than I imagined.

"That's the -- that's the metastasis gate?

Pretty big -!? "

When I raised my voice to my surprise, Roberto said with a laugh.

"That's right. That's the transfer gate.

The size is pretty big, so even if you break it, it could be a struggle. "

It was when Roberto said so.

Lightning like an electric shock (bolt) shines in front of the transfer gate, and in an instant the sand smoke boils.

"What!?

Everyone turned away from the smoke, but turned to what was beyond the smoke in an attempt to discern the change.

Of course, the assumption that this would happen was in the corner of my head.

But - when that actually happens, I still have to be surprised.

Beyond our current, boiling smoke, there was one “shadow” hidden from view.
