Shinka no Mi

"This is the mountain...."

Lanze officially asked us to leave the city immediately.

It was the first time I had stepped foot in a place called the Mountain, but it only looked very ordinary and natural, as if it were the back of a monster.

"That's amazing... I can't believe this is the back of a monster..."

"... nh, stunned. I heard it when I was in the Kaiser Empire, but I thought it was a lie.But it was true. "

"Well, I don't usually believe it.I've never even seen all of them moving, but with these mountains and similar seas, the kingdom of Wimbledon won't be invaded by hostiles. "

The more you listen, the less you believe me.

While listening to Al's commentary, Saria stretched next to her.

"Hmm! It's been a long time since I've felt like this!"

"That said, I haven't touched much nature since I left the Forest of Endless Love."

"Yeah! That's why I miss coming to places with lots of trees."

Regardless of the dungeon, it's only since the forest near Barbados Magic School that we come to places with plenty of nature outside.

The mountain where we are now is rich in nature, and the trees are also green.

Of course, there is no tragic, jungle-like atmosphere like the [Forest of Endless Love], and I really feel the freshness that you can enjoy the forest bath.

"It feels so good - Tweety, wild nigga back to Chaune"

"Don't rush back!?"

Suddenly, next to me, Saria, who was in a gorilla state, became Goliath.

However, Goliath in nature looks good on her. It suits me too well.

Am I pretty?

"What kind of question?"

That's beautiful, but... what do you want me to say?I didn't put it in my mouth.

Leave that stupid exchange alone, and we'll move on.

Thanks to Saria being Goliath, the monster ran away as soon as he found us.That's the emperor of the forest...

It was unexpected that there was no monster attack, but thanks to it, it went smoothly, and Al stopped somewhat after climbing the mountain.

"I see it. That's the Cave of the Mountain God."

Large cliff-like rock skin was exposed, and there was a big hole in it.

It was given a fairly large name, but there was no particular appearance of human hands, and it was dark beyond the hole.

Al explained the matter to me.

"As you can see, the origin of the name is a cave behind the mountain, so it's just named like that, and it doesn't mean anything else.It's just a mysterious place to mine something in a cave, including what you said. "

Really?

"As a country or an adventurer, I'd like to explore, but if it were to hurt the 'mountain' body with a strange stimulus, I wouldn't be surprised.That's why I'm keeping my hands off you. "

"Well then... to fight in this..."

"Don't worry about it, especially Seiichi.If you attack with the power of Tong Demo as usual, the [Magic Order] man is not even in danger of "Mountain". Be careful. "

I don't think about any precautions, but I can't deny it, so I will remember the liver properly.

In that case... it's harder to fight than expected.

There is no problem if you can blow up the mountain itself, but there are parts of the mountain where its existence is in the national interest, so you can't blow up every mountain.

I don't know what kind of power they have, but I'm in trouble...

Moreover, I looked down at the ground I was stepping on - the "mountain" - and tried to activate Advanced Appraisal skills.

[Didalaboch's Spine LV:????]

Daedalaboch!? Eh, that Japanese!?

This is more like a spine!? Oh, where that bone is sticking out!?

I can't catch up with the Tsukkomi, but how big is the spine, not the back?

You mean all the mountains in this kingdom of Wimbleburg together on the back of the Daedalaboch?

... wait...

"Are you sleeping on your back...!?"

"What are you talking about?"

While I was surprised by the shock, Goliath strangely tilted her neck.

"No, no... I wanted to know what this' mountain 'is, so I did an appraisal."

"Oh, you couldn't, could you? Many countries have tried, but their skills are too big -"

"Well, I did....."

"Why!?"

That's what I want to hear.

Well, if you can't, I want you to tell me first.Otherwise, the normal thing I'm asking for is far away...!

"By the way, what's your name?"

"It's a monster named Daedalaboch...."

"... I've never heard of it."

"... nh. Me too"

"Wow, I don't remember hearing about it either before it was sealed in the dungeon...."

"Lord, can you eat that?"

"Want to eat!?"

Daedalaboch is human!?... is that right?Is it different in this world?

Regardless of René's usual reaction, it seems like a monster that Al and the others don't even know.

I guess it was really a long time ago that I checked the whole story in the Kingdom of Wimbledon.

However, since many people came to take some action, the very existence was believed....

"There was a monster in my world with the same name, but if there was a monster with the same name, I think it was something of a supermassive human form."

"Seriously... I thought it was the back of such monsters as tortoises and dragons..."

Al, it's not your back.

Ah?

Looks like this is the spine.

…………

Not only Al, but everyone was silent about the words.

That's right...

"It must be hard to sleep on your face....."

"Don't be surprised!? I'm surprised at the size!"

"... nh. But, as Seiichi said, you sleep well."

"Ah, where's your head?I wonder if he's burying his face on the ground.... "

"Olga and Zola aren't poisoned!Doesn't matter!? Besides, if a monster the size of a monster breaks out... the country will be destroyed easily! "

Al is right. If a bigger didalaboch happens than we expected, it would mean that all the mountains of the Kingdom of Wimbleburg will rise instead of the mountains we have right now, right?It won't be a bit chaotic.

It's going to be a lot of trouble if you just push it through, as usual.

Worst of all, you'll have to knock down the Daedalaboch when it wakes up... but I'm just sleeping, and I'd like to keep you quiet if I could.

Moreover, the existence of Daedalaboch will also be important for the defence of the Kingdom of Wimburg.

"... nh. I don't know how far they've been thinking, but it's an inconvenient place for Seiichi oniichan."

"If it's going to be an obstacle to the Lord, why don't we just get rid of it?"

"... a foolish fool"

"Why!?"

Because if you blow it up, you'll wake up a daddy lab.In the first place, I'm trying to make sure Daedalaboch doesn't get hurt.

He looked back at the cave, holding his head down on René's over-minded remarks.

"Honestly, I thought I shouldn't have appraised you... but I can't help it.We need to help Elemina quickly... and let's go carefully. "

Everyone nodded at my words and went straight into the cave.

By the way, Saria is back in human form as she enters the cave from the woods.It seems like it's not in the woods anymore... but I don't know how it feels in the wild.

"This isn't a dungeon, so I'm not worried about a trap... so keep that in mind while they designate this place."

With Al's advice, we go through the cave.

It was dark because none of the light sources existed inside, but none of us were particularly concerned about it.

Al and Oliga would have acquired the skills in the adventurer era, and even in the dark night, it seems that there is no particular problem whether Salia and René have good eyes of animal origin.I don't know if gorillas and donkeys will catch their eyes at night.

It was Zola who was surprised, and I wondered if she could catch her eyes at night in the same way as Saria and the others, but apparently she knew her surroundings in a different way.

"Um... unlike other people, I can see the ambient temperature with my own eyes.Besides, by spreading the magic that naturally overflows from your body around you, you can also grasp the surrounding environment.... "

Having said that, I've heard that snakes have an organ that senses temperature.Zola is a species of snakes, and she must have the same abilities.

I myself was able to spend time in the cave with a normal view thanks to [World Eye].

Al snatches his neck as he watches the cave.

"That's weird. I thought I'd set one or two of those traps up... but there's no sign of it."

"Hmm... there's no sign of a monster either.It's really just a cave. "

Al and Salia are right, there is no particularly dangerous element in moving forward.

If you say one thing, maybe the scaffolding is a little bad? That's enough.

"... nnh, I don't think there's any special ore."

"Well, it's precious, but it's hard to mine even in this place, and that's good, isn't it?"

It's part of my spine.

"... I still can't believe it... I've always thought it was a monster, but you don't even know what spine means..."

"It's also possible to grow in growth....."

"What kind of possibility?"

I don't know, maybe Al was right in the old days when his back was really in the woods, but as a result of his rapid growth like a human, there's no chance that a part of his spine had gone into the woods from his back - maybe.

Moving forward in this way, we eventually arrived at a large space.

"This is....."

There's a stranger here.

Looking around, we are surprised to hear from you.

Everyone responded to the voice and took a combat stance, and a man appeared from the depths of the cave.

The man looks like a robe with a hood that completely hides his face, and this must be the mysterious man Florio and the god of the [Magic Order].

However, apart from that, I was stunned by what happened.

"I was hoping that [Sword Knight] or [Black Holy Knight] would come around... but I'm disappointed."

……

"Does the Kingdom of Wimbledon take things lightly?No matter how many adventurers I send here, the results won't change..... "

……

"? I've been silent for a while, but if I say anything..."

"----I got it...!"

"... what?"

Not only the other guy, but Sally and the others will bow to my words... but I'm not going anywhere.

"Why do you look like a robe!You're wearing it with me! "

"Where the hell are you!?"

"I hate this!"

"You shut up."

No, Mr. Al. That's what I'm talking about, my identity, what do you mean...

When I was thinking about how to explain it to Al, the other man, who had been dazed by my reaction, opened his mouth with frustration.

"... apparently you don't understand the situation correctly.What are you doing here? "

"Of course, I'm here to help you, Elemina."

"Hmm. The quality of the kingdom of Wimbledon has also deteriorated.I don't know why I'm sending people here... Did Empress Thunder give up? "

"What?"

When the man snapped his fingers as he said so, he saw some shadows of people gathering from behind.

I thought it was the messengers of the [Magic Order] ---

"Eh...?"

"You're kidding!?"

What an adventurer appeared from behind.

There is no sign of the intended Elemina, but only one of them finds the face.

"Is that... Gargand-san!?"

What an adventurer from the depths of the cave, Gargando, the S-Class Adventurer!

Surprised at that, Al continued to gaze at the opponent with a stunning look.

"... it's not just Gargand. They're all S-Class adventurers."

"No way!?"

"Temee...! What the hell did they... do to Nem...?!"

Apparently, one of the S-Class adventurers knew Al, and Al was exploding anger like he'd never seen before.

Speaking of which, when Al was still in an unhappy state, he said that he was able to spend time normally in Tel Vail thanks to the bonds he knew...

I'm sure the person who broke the line is Nem, the S-Class Adventurer.

However, now all the S-class adventurers are in a manipulated state with no emotions on their faces.

"What, you haven't heard from King Weinberg?We're looking for combat power.Here are the tokens that made it possible to fight. "

"A token!?"

"Ah, on the evidence..."

The same S-class adventurers appeared one after the other from the depths of the cave as the man opened his hands!

"Well, what's going on!? You look so alike!?"

"Seiichi! Everyone here is not normal!"

Huh?

"I don't know what to say... Lucia's father, Zephyr, was his own body, and his spirit was a different existence, but everything here is fake!On the contrary, I can't even feel my vitality.... "

"If you ask me...."

By training with Zeanos in the underworld, I learned how to sense and manipulate the vitality to exterminate the evil spirits there.

Even from my point of view, I can't feel the vitality of the group of S-Class adventurers in front of me.

And you can say that to the mysterious man.

"Are you a fake?"

"!... I see you've noticed.But don't worry.I keep my promise.If we can get through this situation, I'll let the Empress of Thunder go - if she's alive. "

"Temee...! Wait!"

If the mysterious man only says that, he disappears into the darkness.

Al tried to capture the man immediately, but before that, fake S-Class adventurers prevented him from going, so he got away.

"Shit! Where the hell did he go!? Not like this...."

"Al, calm down. Looks like he's still in this cave."

Huh?

"Saria told me to sense my vitality, but I felt two signs in the back of this cave.Maybe, but I think it's the main body of the guy and Elemina. "

"I see... then I'd better do something about these guys...!"

Fortunately, these S-Class Adventurers are fake, so you don't have to hesitate to defeat them.

But...

"Whoa! Blow it up...!"

……

"What!?"

When Al shook his ax with all his might, the Demonic Male Class S Adventurer took the attack with ease.

On the contrary...

"!... these people are strong"

"Ugh, it's moving too fast, I can't follow it with my eyes!"

Oliga and Zola are struggling with the attack of a giant Afro-man or a woman with a noble atmosphere.

What's going on with that Afro?Every time Oliga-chan throws a kunai, that Afro absorbs it...

S-class adventurers with a variety of other characteristics have unfortunately demonstrated their abilities.

"Are these guys as good as they are for fakes!?"

"Well then, you really look fine! ─ ─ Ay"

!?

Salia laughed at Al's words, transforming herself into a second Goliath today, beating up an approaching S-Class adventurer.

The power is simply wiped out by not just one, but several.

"You're in trouble. Go away."

René also kicked out the S-Class adventurer lightly, and the aftermath alone wiped out many.

"If I fight, the cave will collapse....."

Well, I think the cave collapsed, but I haven't been able to rescue Mr. Elemina yet, and I don't know how Daedalaboch will react.

Nevertheless, I can't let Saria and the others fight like this, and I have to go and help them quickly, so I pulled out the [Sword of Love].

"Everybody, get down on your knees when I give you a signal!"

"Ok!"

"Well then... now!"

!?

Everyone replied, and I swing my sword around like a circle while trying my best.

Then, despite controlling the maximum force, a massive slash is fired.

As it flew around me, all S-Class adventurers disappeared.

"... no, I thought we should reduce it a little, but I didn't think it would all go away..."

"You're as useless as ever, you."

And strangely, when my slashing hit the wall of the cave, the place was as stupid as clay and automatically avoided the slashing.

The world is incredible.

"Anyway, hurry up and head under Elemina!"

I went all the way to the back of the cave, making a fool of myself.
