25 Episode 25 "The Second Half of the Dungeon Strategy" Goblins Hanagiri "".txt (1/2)

And the second level cleared with no problem. We entered the third level.

Just like the map said, from here on, it's the ruins area.

An ancient magical civilization that once existed in this land, or prehistoric humans.

These are underground ruins that are said to have been created by such things.

Even though it's beneath the ground, the floor is paved with smooth stones, and pillars like a temple are lined up around the wide corridor.

This is where the real work begins.

The demons that live in this level are goblins.

Among adventurers, it is said that if you defeat the goblins, you will escape as a beginner.

These humanoid demons sometimes wander out of the dungeon and attack nearby villages and travelers passing through the streets. They are fierce and hostile to humans and similar demi-humans.

It seems that this hierarchy is crawling with them.

I'm here at .......

Footsteps and a raspy voice came from behind an open door at the end of a wide corridor.

The ones that appeared were kobolds with green skin.

They are less than a meter tall. The weapons they carry are hatchets and long swords. Probably, they killed humans and took them away.

They seemed to be angry that their territory was invaded, and they were slowly approaching with yellow eyes glaring at me.

There are two - no, three of them.

'GIGIGI...... human............GYAGYA'

'Giggling' and 'Tavel' and 'Giggling!

''Demon sweeping LV1!

Aine smashes the broomstick at the goblins that have been running at the front of the pack.

But the goblins didn't budge.

''You are such an a**h*le!　”Demon wipe-out lv1, demon wipe-out!

No, Aine, stay back!

Demon Wipeout isn't working.

”You son of a b*tc*!　Don't interrupt Nei-kun, you little devil!

Aine caught the hatchet that the goblin swung at her with the handle of his broomstick.

As it was, he kicked the floor and retreated.

Instead, Rita and Leticia stepped forward.

''Gigi!''

Late.

Rita's fist bounced off the goblin's hatchet. The returning hatchet shoots the goblin in the neck. The palm of Rita's hand, strengthened with sacred power, breaks the green skin and causes blood to gush out of the wound. A spinning kick explodes at the flinching point. It blows the goblin away.

You can win. But there are too many of them. Another footstep approaches from across the hallway.

I don't want to take my time. Let's go at once.

'Cecil. Get ready.

Yes. Mr. Nagi.

Little Cecil shook his shoulder with a jolt.

Soo-hah, soo-hah, she took two deep breaths and then looked up at me as if she was ready.

I'll do it. ”Let's do it.

Yeah. I'm sorry, Aine, but I need your help.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect.

It's a magic form that connects me and Cecil's magic power.

It's not that difficult to prepare.

It's not a good idea to have a good time.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. A thin, brown arm clasps over my chest. Ugh, it's so soft. I can feel my heart beating.

And from now on, I'm going to hold Cecil's leg with both hands, but... is it okay?

I've thought up this plan.

But there's a big difference between imagining it in your head and actually doing it.

Cecil's bare thighs are so smooth and warm, I feel like if I touched them carelessly, I might get reported. Is that okay? It's okay, isn't it? I'm Cecil's master, and this is what I need to do, so ...... okay.

I stood up with Cecil on my back.

'Heeeeeee!'

Hey, what's up, Cecil?

'No, its ...... a bit ticklish,'

A huff and a puff of air touched my back.

It's ...... light when you put it on your back like this. I'm sure you'll be able to run like this.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's a good idea to be able to have a look at it.

Fluffily, Aine puts the cloth over Cecil's back. I tie the strings on all four sides of the cloth in a crisscross pattern in front of me. I hold it in place so that Cecil doesn't fall off. Finally, he puts a sunshade cloak on my shoulders so that it covers Cecil's body, and then he's done.

I can't see it clearly, but Cecil should be wearing the cloak that I put on his back, and his head should be peeking out from between the gaps in the cloak.

I give it a slight shake. Okay, it's firmly in place.

The next step is to connect the magic connection ...... like we did in the basement and attach the flow of magic between me and Cecil. ......

Okay, I understand.

Whisper, Whisper, Whisper.

Under my cloak, I can feel Cecil's fingers stroking my back.

My armor only covers the front half of my body. If I pull down the clothes inside, my back will be exposed.

And Cecil too...

...... Yeah, yeah.

Shuffle, I felt Cecil pull down his clothes.

Instead, I heard a thump.

The sound of me and Cecil's heart jumping.

A snap, a soft thing that clings to my back.

Hidden by the cloak, I can't see it, but it's Cecil's bare chest ...... probably.

'I think Aine's master is a genius,'

I wouldn't say that! Please don't tell me!

I just couldn't think of any other way to capture the dungeon the fastest.

We have to rely on Cecil's magic, but Cecil's magic power is limited.

That's why I, who have some magic power stored for ”Ability Rebuild”, will be the external battery to support him. The ability rebuild is like a cable between me and the slave, and we are always exchanging magic power. So it should be possible.

This is an application of what we did in the basement of the mansion.

Our bodies are directly attached to each other and our magic power is connected by 'ability rebuilding'.

”Let's go, Cecil. [Power Reconstruction] activated!

Hmm ...... ah ...... haha. Hmm.

I call up a window and bring up Cecil's skills.

The purpose of the skill is not to rebuild it this time, so I just touch it.

I send my magic power to Cecil through 'Ability Rebuild'.

This completes the preparations for 'Combine Magic'.

The only thing that matters is the fact that you can't get your hands on it. Hmm. Nagi-sama.

Cecil's hot breath is on my back.

I wait for it to settle down before I call out to him.

'Cecil, is it going to work?'

”n......a ......a ......hiyah yes

The little body squirms on my back.

'It's a big ....... I'll try and do it.

'All right. Aine, follow up with Cecil to make sure he doesn't fall off.

Aine nodded and got behind us.

I signaled to Cecil.

Cecil begins to chant the spell.

”'It is my anger. It is the manifestation of my blood. It is the manifestation of my blood, it is the manifestation of my blood, it is the many blades with heat in them...

I continue to pour magic power from the window I've moved to my hand while carrying Cecil on my back.

Then I start to run.

Two of the goblins have already been defeated, and there's only one left.

It would be easier if they escaped, but there's no sign of that at all.

A few more of them are peeking out from the exit of the corridor.

''We'll run through at once!　Hang on to Cecil!　Aine has defensive magic ready in case of an emergency!

I know!

”'Just perish. Perish. Perish. Burn them all, cast out your last blade.

Cecil's chanting continues. I know, I've heard it before. We're almost there.

”Konno-ohh!

words of encouragement

Rita's kick kicks the third goblin away. The enemy is knocked to the floor and stops moving.

Rita looks at me. She nods, as if she's out of breath, but as if she knows it all, and takes her place on my right side. Letitia starts to run, following my left side.

At the same time another goblin fully emerges from the exit of the corridor, Cecil's magic - 'Ancient Language Magic, Arrow of Fire' chanting is completed!
