111 Episode 111 "Stress Relief of Angry Saints and Hydra Repulsion Plan".txt (1/2)

We'll give it about three days until the rain stops and then we'll decide if we want to leave.

It has been raining for a while since the quest ended and we returned to the recreation area.

The clouds hung in the eastern sky, towards where the port city of Irgafa is.

It's hard to proceed in the rain, so we decided to rest and prepare for the journey until the weather settles.

First, we went to the merchant, Mr. Dolgor, to pick up the horses we had left with him.

Then we went to the market and arranged for food. I used Aine's 'Sister's Treasure Chest' to put it and the tools I bought and used during the journey into a leather bag.

You can increase the amount of water with Rafilia's ”Water Purification”, and even if you get separated from them, you can contact them with ”Mind Linkage, Revised”. Preparing for a cheat character's trip is surprisingly easy.

That's why the preparations for the trip are easily done.

In my free time, I decided to design a new skill.

''Iris and Raphilia will be living in the lord's mansion when we return. ......

Eventually, I want Iris to relax at my place, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.

Let's wait for the need for the ”Sea Dragon Priestess” to slowly fade away ......, Iris said. He said, ”I'm already ready to run away at any time.

But until then, I'm worried about it, so I want to make sure that both of us have the skills to protect ourselves. The lord is on my side, but I don't know about the others.

The skills I have on hand that I can use are...

”Creeping Defense, Lv 1

This is what the Rock Lizard dropped.

It's a skill that allows you to get down on the ground and increase your defensive abilities, but we don't have a shell, so we can't use it as it is.

'Demon Summoning Lv 5'

This one is the one I got from Raizika the Mummy Flying Dragon.

The other skill was given to me by Saint Delilira.

Truth-telling: Level 1.

This is a magic that allows you to get on top of a magic circle so that you can't lie.

However, it's hard to use because you have to write the magic circle in advance.

You want to rewrite it so that you can use it in a surprise attack.

Lastly, the 'Holy Wand Noielut'...

”Holy Scepter Neuerut

A wand that changes the scope of the magic

If you look closely at ......, you can conceptualize the ability.

And when I checked my skills...

”Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 5

Before I knew it, 'Ability Reconstruction' had risen to level 5.

It seems to be the effect of the Holy Staff's ability being able to conceptualize it.

So even magical items that don't have a personality like Reggie can now rewrite their abilities.

'...... We'll have to be careful with this one.

It would be a disaster if I rewrote the legendary staff and it accidentally went out of control and blew up.

That night, while thinking about this, the idea for the skill was finally completed.

That night, there was a visitor in my room.

Open up, open up!　It's Delilah. Open...!

A hard sound, pecking at the window.

I looked outside and saw ──── a bird-shaped golem.

It's about the size of my hand. It's attached to the bottom of the window frame and is desperately banging on the window.

'That cute little master!　You disgraceful beast, master!　Master Quinnipiac!　Just open the door...!

You're a saint. ......

I open the window.

A bird-shaped golem, soaked with rain, rolled into the room.

'How did it get here?'

''Hmph. Delilira-san is a saint...'

'I see. You're putting your soul inside the golem temporarily. The saint should be highly virtuous, so it's not surprising that she can do that. She came to meet us by substituting the golem she created for her body, right? If you can fly, it's only a short distance to town.

'Delilira, you've run out of things to say!

So, what's going on?

Speaking of errands that the saints come to me for, .......

'No way?　Did the nobles kick you out of the labyrinth?

That's not true.

No?

Your advice was spot on. I beat the crap out of those guys. It felt so good. But because of that ......, you know.

The saint curled her body, as if she was reluctant to say it.

And then...

Hydra's on her way to the city. Make sure everyone knows about it!　Run!

”Hydra.

A low class multi-headed dragon.

It lives at the top of a rocky mountain where the labyrinth of the saint Delilira is located.

He has a strong sense of Nawabari consciousness and is vindictive towards snakes only.

It has a strong ability to regenerate, and needs to destroy all of its heads to die.

It is more than ten meters in size. It's huge. It eats everything.

When a nobleman and an adventurer came to the labyrinth...

The Saintess began to speak.

''Delilira-san has given you a proper warning. Even if you clear the labyrinth, you won't be able to give them anything.

The aristocrat ...... is probably the Viscountess Edengle.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

And after paying the adventurers, she must have fled the town. After that, they were headed for the ruins of the holy woman's temple.

Maybe that's what they wanted to do in the first place, and that's why they set up the ”innkeeper waiting” so that they wouldn't be disturbed by other adventurers. However, there's no way to confirm this for now: .......

''Those guys were really licking their chops at Delilira-san! The legendary saint is so simple, it's easy to take advantage of her. The treasure is ours. You're such a joke!

The labyrinth, however, is 'modified'! They were super-enhanced by the golems of

It was a door that would open if you put your minds together, and the Viscountess and the adventurers of the Mercenaries of the Dawn were convinced that they trusted each other. In reality, though, it was just a door that would open if you pushed on it.

Apparently, the saint had warned them many times.

This is a dangerous labyrinth! If you're not careful, you'll get seriously injured. You can go home...''

But Viscountess Edengle and the others chose to continue on.

And then the recovery role was suddenly defeated by a very quick slime that 'attacks in response to the chanting of the recovery magic'.

After losing the means of recovery, we fought over the herbs.

While the mood was grim, we were attacked by a giant spider (an artificial creature that resembles a giant spider) in the ”disequilibrium-altering passage” (the entire passage is slanted, making it impossible to walk in a straight line), and a few of us were eliminated.

Further on, at the ”Perspective Disrupting Intersection” (the pathway is narrower at the end, making it look much longer), a demon that you thought was still far away frightened you away and you were eliminated further.

After going through the ”maze where shortcuts lead to pitfalls,” the only people who can move are the Viscountess and the leader of the ”Hounds of Dawn”.

Still refusing to give up, they found their way to a room with a pool.

They were about to wipe out the monsters in the water with their swordsmanship skills when they were hit by a slime that fell from the ceiling and rendered them unable to fight.

It seems that Delilira's golem carried the paralyzed Viscountess and the ”Hounds of the Dawn” to the exit.

And then they were beaten out of the room with a 'go on, go on, go on.

The first half of the episode was a bit tame. The first half of the game was tame, but in the second half, when it was just the nobles and high-ranking adventurers, I beat them to a pulp!　That felt so good!

With that, the bird-shaped golem flapped its wings.

''But it's a shame. They couldn't reach the 'spinning floor', the 'wall that goes numb when you touch it' and the 'noisy passage with its echoing voices'. We made all the effort to prepare for it!'

'Are you sure you've implemented all my suggestions ......?'

Of course, I was going to give a gold coin to whoever could clear it.

Not to the Viscountess, but to the adventurers she was accompanied by, the saintly woman added.

The adventurers' chattering in the labyrinth could be heard by the saint.

The hounds of the dawn are kept together with the baroness Edengle under the condition that if she became the prince's queen, she would be ”specially” recruited as a regular soldier.

...... ”Only you” and ”special” are usually dangerous.

I'm sure the story of the other adventurers being turned into regular soldiers is also ...... false.

''Can I ask you something, saint?''

What is it, boy?

Can you find a cheat character among your enemies, a strong, dark-haired guy who isn't a cheat character?

Once, when the Viscountess Edengle and her friends were parading around, there was a guy with dark hair and what looked like a tablet device. He looked like a visitor.

If that guy was with Viscountess Edengle, it would be a bit troublesome.

''Ah, there you are. ''Ah, there you are. He had black hair for sure. His name was 'Fenrir-Laguna', I think he said.'

What happened to that guy?

”I was stuck in a pit when I got stuck in it because I kept breaking down the walls of the maze when I got carried away.

Go to ......

He's a force to be reckoned with, isn't he? But he's very powerful. He used a wolf made of magic. ”Something to chew on, something to tear apart...” or something like that. If you can't fight them, you shouldn't fight them.

If you can.

''That ...... saintly lady. The Viscountesses are just here to capture the labyrinth, aren't they ......?

I wondered.

A hydra is a rocky mountain lord with a labyrinth.

I'm told they're at the top of the mountain and if you don't touch them, they won't attack you.

So how did the Hydra come to town?

'Because they were trying to block the entrance to the labyrinth with a massive spell that brought the rocks down.

.............................. ...... Aacha.

'Maybe so that other adventurers can't find the labyrinth?

Oh, shut up. Were you watching closely?
