Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

I was walking in the royal palace when I heard the birds screaming.

I think I got enough sleep. But the morning sun is still dazzling.

When I left for the entrance to the Royal Palace, there were already other members waiting for me.

"Good morning, Kay."

Grace smiles and greets (greets) me.

Celestia said hello, laughing at Sylvia, who was a little sleepy.

"Good morning, Kay.

Today, with the courtesy of His Highness the Chancellor (Saiso), he was sent by carriage to the labyrinth of the abyss. Probably should be here soon. "

Less than five minutes after Celestia says so, the carriage arrives.

A little fat man came down from the carriage and opened the door for me.

Me and Grace, Sylvia and Celestia, we get into the carriage in turn.

At the end, Celestia sat next to me, and the carriage that made sure everyone was on board, slowly proceeded.

The labyrinth of the abyss (Shin 'en) is about a half hour walk from the Wang capital (Ansel).

It's about that distance on foot in the first place, so it's faster if you take a carriage.

I got in the carriage, and while each didn't have a great deal of conversation, I got into the labyrinth of the abyss of destination.

"Are you there yet?

Sylvia just says she wanted some more sleep.

"So close, in case a demon (monster) is overflowing, you won't be immune to damage to the King's Capital (Ansel) -"

Celestia agreed to Grace's remarks.

"I've always thought so, too.

From what I've heard, there's never been any damage in the past where demons (monsters) overflow (flood) externally, including before closing the labyrinth (dungeons).

Maybe that's the way it is, but in a way, there's a way to see if demons (monsters) are being managed by someone. "

"- I see."

I find something interesting in Celestia's remarks and strike a connection.

"Sage and that's one line, isn't it?

The four of us were called by a knight standing at the entrance to the labyrinth of the abyss.

When asked, apparently, a good number of knights were driven out to re-liberate the labyrinth (dungeon), which had been closed for many years, with surrounding maintenance and exploration of shallow areas of the labyrinth (dungeon).

After all, it seemed like it was the circumstances around there that took nearly a week to leave.

Just because demons (monsters) have certainly not been overflowed (flooded) before does not mean that they will not be overflowed (flooded) in the same way this time. I guess that was the Knights' outing in anticipation, too.

The knight who spoke to me gave us information about the labyrinth (dungeon).

"From what we've looked into, the structure in the labyrinth (dungeon) seems quite different from it was before the closure.

Of course, the shallow area is where it was used as a temple, so it hasn't changed that much, but apparently the back stretches to a fairly deep layer, and there are some crumbling ground where it's like a cliff and you can't get past it.

So the Royal Palace had a map from a long time ago that was made before it was closed, but unfortunately it didn't help.

Demonic objects (monsters) seem to be centered on demonic stone statues (gargoyles) as far as we could confirm, but apparently quite a few demonic birds (harpies) were nesting while they were closed, leaving them in a bit of a troublesome (nasty) state where they have to watch out for attacks from above, even though they are dangerous underfoot.

But there's more trouble than that. "

The knight says so much and clouds the words.

"Trouble?

When I asked, the knight tried to open his mouth again.

At that moment - from the labyrinth of the abyss (Shin Eun) comes a strong swing (Yu), along with a goggle and a deep grunt.

I'm naturally somewhat accustomed to earthquakes in the original world, so surprises don't atrophy.

But Sylvia panicked because of the noise. After searching for something to grab, I have no choice but to stick with Celestia, who was still motionless.

"This is-"

"Yes, this is the hardest part.

Not so many times a day, but from the bottom of this labyrinth (dungeon), there can be strong vibrations like ground ringing -

Shaking can be big, or small.

When you're big, that's big enough to disfigure, so it affects you when you're in battle.

Please be careful. "

"I see. Thanks for the info.

I'll check it out, but you haven't found the demon-like guy yet, have you?

"Yes, I haven't found it.

- Of course, if they find us, we may not be safe. "

That's what I joked about. He turns his laugh toward me.

When I turned to Grace and the others, I decided to queue up for a labyrinth (dungeon) expedition.

Grace, Celestia, me, Sylvia.

I also thought about reversing Sylvia's position with me, which makes it harder for me to support Celestia and Grace. With Sylvia at the rear of the line, it was possible to weaken the attack from the rear, but since Sylvia could also be granted contact magic wall (magic wall), it was decided to take this form once.

When I multiplied the grant (enchant) to everyone, including myself, I also multiplied the booking (enchant) to Sylvia's Clive artifact. This should run out of bonuses (enchants) in the fight and never fall into a pinch (dude).

When the four of us thank the knight for sharing the information, we finally step into the labyrinth of the abyss.

The labyrinth of the abyss (Shin Eun) is wider inside and has a larger impression than any other labyrinth (dungeon) ever entered.

The interior is only dark in the labyrinth (dungeon), but sometimes the knights who went in earlier have the lights around them, and I don't have that gloomy (depressing) impression. However, there is no choice but to smell something unique to the space that has been closed for a long time.

It's the same in every labyrinth (dungeon), but it was originally a temple, and the walls and columns there contain beautiful decorations, and it's a stunning scene if you just look at it.

However, although those in the labyrinth of the abyss (Shin Eun) mimic animals in the decorations or gargoyles, and I know they don't move due to the invisibility of the state (status), I really feel like it.

Apparently, in shallow areas of the labyrinth (dungeons), the knights of the kingdom (Harland) stand for me at equal intervals, and such areas are safe without the occurrence of demons (monsters).

As we walked forward where the knight stood on our guard, at the end of the narrowed passage, there was only a place where two knights stood.

Those two knights, as we approach, will call out.

"Sage and his line, right?

We are the Central Knights of the Kingdom (Harland), ordered to explore this labyrinth (dungeon).

That's all we're exploring and securing.

This will be an area we haven't set foot in yet, so please be careful. "

As I thanked the two knights, I walked into the back of the aisle vigilantly.

Because it's a dark space, I point a light source (light) at the end of everyone's weapon.

The perimeter lit up brightly as soon as possible.

From here on out, we have to protect the line and proceed with caution.

"The scaffolding could be bad. Everybody fight with magic first."

When I give instructions, everyone snorts.

Yeah, well, I don't expect a demon (monster) to come out soon, but I've never been over alert.

Behind the aisle was a small room, from which there were about three small rooms leading.

There are no stunning decorations in the small rooms that can be seen in the large rooms. I have the impression that it is somewhat like a storage room.

As we passed through the third small room, we went out into a large space. Grace's steps at the head, although alarming, are unexpectedly fast and moving on.

"- Nothing in particular?

When I looked for Grace before me, Grace replied without paying any particular attention to her voice color.

"Yes, apparently there are no more demons (monsters) in this layer.

Of course, I don't know from the next layer - "

Grace proceeded behind the large space and slowly began to descend the stairs.

He also checks to see if there are any traps, but he unexpectedly dares to come down.

It is also advantageous to ensure that when Grace is around, he advances dangerous places, but it is also advantageous to increase the speed at which he travels where he does not have to be vigilant.

As they all went down the stairs and through the hall, there was an even smaller little room than the previous one, and Grace stopped perfectly in front of the door through that little room.

- There's something here.

――――

We kill our breath and gather near Grace. Celestia took out the shield of the Virgin (Shield of Line), which until then had fallen into the asset (Inventory).

Grace is waiting for my instructions.

No, of course you're waiting for instructions, but maybe you should say you're waiting for me to see what's going on across the door.

I concentrated my consciousness on my eyes and gazed across the door so that I could use magic.

"- Sure you are.

Looks like a stone demon doll (stone golem).

I don't have any unusual skills, but I'm highly aggressive. You won't be able to accept anything but Ceres. "

"Just the hell?

"That's all I can see.

With me and Grace attacking with wind magic, Sylvia asks for help with state anomaly magic (debuff) and Ceres "

Copy that.

"All right, let's go."

When we have a brief operational meeting, we jump into the room with Celestia at the forefront.

Rooms are not as large as previous halls, but they are sizeable spaces.

At the center of that room, a stone demon doll (stone golem), obviously too large for a stone statue, was seated.

The stone demon doll (stone golem), when he realizes we exist, glances at him and slowly rises up.

After Celestia stood at the moment of the Stone Demon doll (Stone Golem) and fired light attribute magic at the Stone Demon doll (Stone Golem), she unleashed Taunt (Town).

Then he approaches Celestia as the stone demon doll (Stonegolem) subtly vibrates the floor.

I fronted the stone demon doll (stone golem) and as I circled to my left, I fired three wind blades (windcutters) towards the right foot of the stone demon doll (stone golem). At the same time Grace is turning on the other side, releasing the wind blade (windcutter) to his left foot.

The magic surely captures the feet of a stone demon doll (stone golem) and scrapes them off. It seems to be properly damaged, but there is no change in posture where the physically thick stones have been slightly shredded in the first place.

The stone demon doll (Stonegolem) released a punch that looked heavy with his right hand when he targeted Celestia in the front (Target). Celestia used to stand guarded, surprisingly lightly avoiding that attack.

I went forward and unleashed the magic of wind dust (Windstorm). Wind dust (Windstorm) has a slightly shorter range and is damaged by enclosing the entire body of a stone demon doll (Stone Golem).

There was a roar around me, and there was a firm and damaged response, but there was no change in the movement of the stone demon doll (stone golem) even though his whole body was shredded.

The stone demon doll (Stonegolem) now releases a punch at Celestia with his left hand.

Right hand punch continued where Celestia avoided and Celestia took it with her shield.

The right hand of the Saint Maiden's Shield (Shield of Line) and the Stone Demon Doll (Stone Golem) is in contact, with a splash of white magic sparks.

"- No problem at this level."

I'm relieved of Celestia's words.

"HP is quite high. It's going to take a while."

"Leave it to me. I'll drop the resistance."

When Sylvia says so, she unleashes one abnormal state magic (debuff) after another.

Sometimes the magic defense of stone demon dolls (stone golems) would be low, but all of that was a success.

"Ceres, hold on to the target."

When I say that, I go out next to the stone demon doll (stone golem). If we don't know Celestia's going to take on the target (target), it's a distance we can't get close to. If a punch flies in, there's not a whole bunch of them.

I unleashed the Dark Attribute Magic Curse Bullet (Gund) to smash the right flank of the Stone Devil doll (Stone Golem) when I put a glance of magic power into the ruler's cage hand (Road Bracer) covering my left hand.

Of course, it hits brilliantly, only at an indelible distance.

The stone demon doll (Stonegolem), who ate the curse bullet (Gund), reacted freakedly for a moment, but began to move as if nothing in particular had happened.

However, the effect is enhanced and amplified by the ruler's cage hand (roadbracer), and the amplified curse (gand) takes away the HP of the stone demon doll (stone golem) with incredible momentum over time.

"That works pretty well."

Sylvia says with admiration.

"Ceres, magic is working. Don't move the target."

"Of course."

Celestia laughs niggly when she says so. The light from the light source (light) reflects on the blonde hair and is as divine as ever.

"Kay, let the wind be Ceres' sword"

I was prompted by Grace to hang the Windblade (Windcutter) grant (Enchant) on Celestia's Saint Maiden's Sword (Jacqueline). He then granted (enchanted) Grace's Hidden Long Sword (Sword of Hermit) the same.

Celestia realizes it not only avoids the Stone Demon Doll (Stone Golem) attack, but also attempts to fight back.

"Sir!"

With Celestia's temperamental voice, the sword of the Virgin (Jacqueline) hit the right arm of the stone demon doll (Stonegolem). Then, by the force of the activated wind blade (windcutter), the blade of the Saint Maiden's sword (Jacqueline) is more and more embedded in her right arm.

The blade of the Saint Maiden's sword (Jacqueline) stopped when it completely amputated the right arm of the stone demon doll (Stonegolem).

"Are you serious about the stone slashing with your sword!?

Sylvia, who sees the sight, raises her voice in surprise.

"- If you can slaughter, talk fast."

Celestia was good at it, smiling and looking at the stone demon doll (Stonegolem).
