From Mightiest Hero to Demon King

The attack on the ruins of "Greer" on Volcano Island was not yet visible after a week.

How large and where is the temple in the deepest depths?

Investigations to grab them are underway as fifteen parties are organized to create maps. Though it was going well, in addition to thoughts, the ruins themselves are wide.

The ruins were like a giant nest of ants.

Though not cramped even by the zolt of the giant body, there are several branches, and as we move on, we are at an end.

I didn't have to worry about the light because the light is soaking out of the walls, but I'm burning my hands a little on the guardian beast lurking in the ruins.

Pennelley wraps herself in new armor and proceeds through the cave flicking a translucent cloak. Huge gold bars in my hands.

From behind her, the giant body of Zolt continues to care about her surroundings. This one also wrapped a translucent cloth around his body, holding a battle axe in each hand.

"Lady, it's time."

"Oh. I don't know where it's coming from. On the left, please."

He said he was narrowing his stride and proceeding with caution.

Goh, the noise rang, and a rock descended from over Pennelley's head. A rock-shaped guardian beast lurking at the edge of the ceiling, about 1.5 metres in diameter - Bomb Rock.

Pennelay flies big before and avoids. Looking back at the same time as the landing, a guardian beast of the same type as a gorilla also appeared from the left and right walls. Two eyes peel off at her and distort her big mouth as she

"Shit, have you been cut off? I have no choice. We'll deal with this quickly."

Bom Locke blows himself up when he suffers some hand injuries. It wouldn't be fatal if it wasn't snuggled up perfectly, but in the cave I ate fragments and didn't absolve them from wear and tear.

Roger that, young lady.

Zolt roared. One of the two bodies that were facing Pennelei flips to a shaky vibration in the cave.

"Shh!

Pennelley pushes herself against the guardian beast. He cast his magic on the gold bars and struck them from the top with full force.

A distorted grin scatters. The central 'nucleus' was destroyed and Bomb Rock disappeared without even fragments.

Almost at the same time, Zolt also defeats the whole thing with a battle axe.

Looks like the rest of us are wondering which way to handle it.

"Zolt, come!

"Heh!"

Zolt rushed into Bomb Rock. But the battle axe does not wave, then it passes through the side and joins Pennelei. She turned her heels back, and the two of them ran all the way back...

After a while, the two stop.

"I'm still not coming after you."

"It seems true not to come out of the holding (...)"

The guardian beast does not travel beyond a certain range from the place of appearance.

This is Gallius' reasoning.

As a brave man, I had that feeling when I challenged the Ibidilia ruins.

In the ruins of Ilua, dominated by evil spiritual beasts, he persisted in chasing them, or even jumped outside the ruins, but here in Greer, he acts similarly to Ibidilia.

However, when they disappear, they will be resurrected for a certain period of time.

If he is no longer present, he will be replenished from somewhere, so after less than a day he will reappear like he just did.

If you're not coming after me, avoid fighting as hard as you can.

Under that direction, the Penneleys' troops were trying not to fight.

"Nevertheless, it's time for the next place to appear. Let's get on guard."

Bomb Rock seems to be able to process the walls in the cave, and even if he can record some appearance, he doesn't know where he's going to pop up from above, beside, or below.

The two of them proceeded cautiously, this time following their gaps without being parted, and were able to go further into the back.

That's how...

"Hot!"

Through the cave, we reached a vast underground space.

It receives light from the wall and a red magma is flowing loosely. It was exactly what a scorching hell looked like.

Though not enough to breathe and burn your throat, you just stand and sweat will erupt.

If you are not wearing a water essence feather coat (undine cape), your strength will be taken by a few minutes of activity.

"You're right about the twelve squads. There's a good chance there's a temple ahead of us..."

Pennelei gazes behind the underground space, but it is not clear.

At the end of the little square where they were now standing, the path, about two metres wide, continued like a snake. I freshly cut left and right, and magma down there. If it falls, there won't be a single one.

But I couldn't have been more timid.

This mission involves the discovery of the temple at the deepest end of the site and its complete offense, if possible.

(We can't let this bother the busy Lord Gallius' hands!

Pennelley didn't even wipe a shiny sweat and stepped forward.

"I'll see the way ahead. If you signal, Zolt will remain vigilant and follow me."

"If the guardian beast were to come out, would it be up there?

The ceiling is about twenty meters away.

"It'll be hard to fall for a narrow path from that height. Even if that's the case, we'll have enough combat moves in place by the time we fall."

It's at your feet to be careful. I risk losing my balance and being dropped off the road. Pennelley had the pride that she could deal with herself more light-hearted than a big zolt.

Proceed with caution.

I slammed the road ahead hard with a golden bar.

It is difficult to discover if the guardian beast is simulated on the walls and on the ground, but if it is impacted, he may show up unhappy. Pennelley sharpened her nerves so she wouldn't miss it, as she felt only a little magic just before it appeared.

Proceed about thirty meters and stop.

(I think it's all right so far...)

It is unlikely that the Guardian Beast will target only Zolt. I couldn't even think of overlooking the intruder long enough to move on.

(If I were to aim for a split, maybe this distance would be the limit)

Let's just keep Zolt going for ten meters. Repeat it and gradually get closer to the back.

That's when I decided to look back.

"My lady! Behind you!"

Reflectively looking back, a red magma was blowing up from the left and right of the road. A mass of magma falls into the path, beckoning each, gradually forming its shape.

Pennelay held the impression that the bright red slime - But slime species like magma don't exist as far as she knows.

The chunk of magma was shaped in a fishing bell shape. The height approaches Pennelei. The surface was flush with red viscous bodies, and in its center a mouthfeel drilled a hole.

(What if Bomb Rock has degenerated?

That's an incredible story, but enough information to think so could be read from them.

"Lady, those guys..."

"Oh, you're putting together a black mist (...). Evil spiritualized..."

The red giant body is clustered with something like a black mist.

"Huh!? I'm behind you, too!

Pennelley turned half-hearted and glanced backwards with attention to the two that had emerged.

Now I didn't jump out, I crawl up a cliff and the hell blocks my way.

"Oh, come on, this way too."

Likewise, multiple crawled up into the square where the zolt was located.

Pennelei gets completely isolated.

There were multiple unknown enemies, and there was ample chance that they would still appear.

"So far..."

Pennelley lay her eyes down in darkness and exhaled small.

"Zolt, more than this--"

staring into the void with a kick,

"Destroy any enemies that appear..." and withdraw!

I exhaled my anger.

"Understood!"

Zolt re-grips the battle axe.

"I don't need to hesitate. Evil spirited guardian beasts should be defeated as a matter of priority. But don't fail to pay attention. I don't know what I'm gonna do."

"Heh. I know what you mean."

Pennelay also responded with an invincible grin to Zolt, who laughed at

"Let's go!

He had a sharp eye and waved a gold bar at the one behind him -.

Gallius received a report from Pennelei at his home in the capital.

Interaction begins via Pui.

'It doesn't even depend on the facade...... I'm going to annoy your busy Lord Gallius...'

All of them, reflected on the wall, are on their knees and drooling their necks.

After the report, I asked Galius about his future policy and he wanted to frighten me.

"Would you look up for a second? This is hard to talk about."

That's all I told him, the Penneleys stood up feeling sorry for him.

"First, you don't have to be so serious. Instead, you guys are doing great. To be honest, I was surprised to discover the deepest point of thought in this short time."

"Ilua or Danio are attacking" Acadia "is easy to understand where it is intended. Because you just have to go down or up." Ibidilia "was the same in that although the position of the walls varied, it was necessary to go to the" center ".

On the other hand, "Greer" has many branches and doesn't know where to go.

Moreover, it was apparently so vast that it spanned the entire underground area of volcanic island that it took a considerable number of days to allocate many personnel.

"I think it was also a good decision to deal with the evil spirited guardian beast. So did the annihilation and quick retreat, but it's huge that we captured who it was while fighting"

Pennelley and Zolt crushed their magma-shaped enemies with one blow, but they were trying a lot at the end of the day leaving just the hell to grasp the traits.

As a result, somewhat shredded, the opponent bombs himself.

You'll be sure to think Bomb Rock has degenerated.

'Overrated, painful. But is the degeneration still caused by the evil spiritualization?

"What do you think? Given the location, it's possible that the top species of Bomb Rock were there from the beginning to protect them in that way. Either way, the problem is..."

It is a danger that a mighty evil spiritual beast withholds deep in the temple, as it did in Ilua.

"Given the circumstances, that's likely. He used guardian beasts throughout the ruins in Ilua, but this time the only thing that seems to affect him is ahead of the Magma Zone. That's why I can't say that strength is inferior to Ilua."

When I told him that, the look on Penneleys' face on the wall tightened.

'Let's cross the Magma Zone first. The road is narrow, but we will select our members and challenge them with a few elite'

I think Gallius is Hmm.

Not bad. It's arguably the best Penneleys unit I've got right now. But...

"Try an easier and safer way, anyway"

Gallius told me that he would send new members who he excluded in his underground cave exploration.

"Harpy tribe, is it? I see...... Fly through the underground space!

"You should be wary of surprise attacks from the magma or from the ceiling just in case. Try the area, and if it looks okay, you should be able to go underground all at once."

The Penneleys in the video cheer at me.

That's how, after the discussion, the Harpy Squad formed and headed to the Gria ruins -.
