77 Episode 77: Ruins and Chimeras (1/2)

”Okay, I'm coming!

Everyone in Camp II hails Mr Liseau's declaration.

”I'm expecting a souvenir!

”Don't be alone!

After the battle with the Anthraptors, we decided to take enough rest before embarking on the search for the ruins.

We are the S-rank adventurers and several A-rank adventurers serving as escorts to the entrance to the ruins.

Among them was Mr. Liliera.

We'll protect Mr. Rex until the entrance to the ruins.

Mr. Liliera punches the spear stone poke to the ground in a temper.

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Liliera”

This was a consideration that we S-rank adventurers should not waste so much power because the search for the interior of the site is our main concern.

And the rest of them were on the run to escort the second camp, dismantle the defeated anthraptors, and further strengthen the camp's defenses.

They also have a lot to do for people who are not directly involved in site exploration.

◆

”Ha!”

”Shit!

The escort adventurers crusade the demons on the road.

”Sai!”

Mr. Liliera also defeats the demons with a series of quick spear thrusts.

”You're the boulder boy's partner. You're no better than my people, spears.”

And Roddy lauds Liliera with a smile.

”Thank you. I'm sure Liliera would love that.”

”Well, my partners haven't lost either. Well, this time I turned to the camp escort.”

It seems that Roddy's party members were unable to participate in this escort because they were running to reinforce their treatment and camp.

”Man, it's a shame you can't retrieve it when you say you've crusaded a demon with a high corner rank”

”You won't have a choice. Our job is to escort the S-rank team. If you want to recover the material, you're going home.”

”I hope the other demons don't eat me till then.”

Unfortunately, the adventurers of the escort are unable to retrieve the demons they defeated.

It takes time to dismantle the demon.

That's why I was told that we were behind in collecting demonic material that we defeated to prioritize escort duty this time.

By the way, Mr. Liliera only kept the demons she had defeated properly in a magic bag for herself.

I'm curious that you didn't retrieve everyone's demons, but maybe there's some reason to be Mr. Liliera there.

◆

After that, he continues to travel through the cave while being attacked by many demons.

And about half an hour after I started exploring, I finally reached the site I was looking for.

”There are truly ruins in the basement...”

The ruins are covered in white exterior walls and decorations can be seen by the way.

Because of the familiarity with its design, it is probably a relic of an age close to the time I lived in my previous or previous life.

But why did you bother making it underground?

”Then we head to the site survey. Gentlemen, take care and go home.”

”Yeah, take care of yourselves”

”Don't be too obsessed with collecting demonic material on your way home.”

He said, ”I know.”

Mr. Lissoe and the escort adventurers make light jokes and exchange farewell words.

”Take care of yourself, Mr. Rex.”

Mr. Liliera comes with a worried face to say goodbye.

”Well, if it's Mr. Rex's strength, it might be an extra favor.”

”That's not true. But I'm so glad you're worried.”

Because in the past life and previous generations, no one worried about me personally, even if someone worried about losing their power as a wise man or a hero.

I'm just so happy about that.

”Hey, let's go home -!

An escort adventurer calls Mr. Liliera.

Then I'll be back.

”Take care, Mr. Liliera,”

”Yes.”

That's how Mr. Liliera and the others go home.

”Then suppose we work too!

Mr. Roddy lifts his voice so as to change his mood.

”Shut up, sunny storm, we're going to explore the unknown ruins, so why don't we be quiet? I don't know what's in there.”

”This is rude.”

Mr. Lisaw scolds Mr. Roddy for shouting out loud, but it looks like Mr. Roddy at the time is not reflecting much.

”In exploratory magic I feel numerous demonic reactions around the entrance. This is the only demon with an A-rank average. This is bone from the beginning.”

And when Mr. Ramies tells him of the information obtained by exploratory magic, Mr. Liseau grins with a niggle.

”I don't have a choice. Try to force me to break in.”

I mean, it's because it helps.

◆

”Sorry to bother you!

With all due respect, Li Soo with two big fangs jumps into the ruins with his gains in his hands.

The demons in sight noticed this way and turned around, but suddenly they suffered screaming.

The reason for this is because of the magic of the powerful lights unleashed by the Heavenly Devil's guide to float behind him.

What happens if demons who make dark places their territory and rely on a tiny bit of light to live suddenly have a strong light?

The answer is, this is how the light burns your eyes and temporarily loses your eyesight, right?

”All right, I'm going through it! Clear storm, my lord! Big time eaters and celestial guides are backup!

I storm two swords like a pig's horn in front of me.

The linear demons don't even know what's going on and blow up under the assault of my partner, Double Big Fang.

Some die as they are, some survive.

But the stops don't sting.

Due to the high number of demons, it is just not possible to deal with all the opponents.

Just because you're an S-rank adventurer doesn't mean you're tough on bullshit.

The trick to living longer is to instantly identify and move who you don't fight.

Some of the demons who dodged my advance will fight back instantly.

Good reaction while enemies.

He bites me from the side I walk through to the arm, but an attack like that would make it impossible to pierce my protection.

”I'll give it back!

When I waved my black fangs and cut the demon under one knife, I put up my sword again and resumed the rampage.

I don't care about my damage.

If you have to, there is a Virgin.

My role is to storm and clear the way.

”Mm?”

If you look forward, a dozen demons are blocking the way.

Just how hard is it to break through an array?

”Spiral Rain!”

Then a voice of celestial guidance sounds from behind, and dozens of water crushes pierce the demons as they spin at high speeds.

”Good job!

He's a little difficult, but he's a man who can do his job.

Seeing as an opportunity for the demons' walls to collapse with their magic, I jump into the herd of demons as I wield two great swords.

Demons fall further into assaults that don't care about counterattacks.

”Shh!

Then a big eater cuts off a shallow demon from the side to cover him.

It's quite a business because you cut the demon into one sword with that thin sword.

It helps because it was just me and the Virgin and the Devil's Guide were going to be attacked when they broke through.

And I saw a door before I broke through the demon wall.

”Holy Virgin! If you go through that door, put up a line to avoid demons!

I'll take care of it.

And then I get to the goal, and I roll inside with my sword swinging down, opening the door instantly.

I am a violent ambush measure.

But apparently there was no ambush.

On the contrary, this place was not indoors.

The ceiling I had seen until earlier is not there, and the dark darkness is spreading.

And I see dirt at my feet.

”Did you go through the building and get out on the other side of the cave?!?”

”Lord! Holy blessing! Fieldwall!”

Then the Virgin who came in puts up a line to avoid demons.

”All right, let's go!

When I make sure all the people following me from behind have rolled into the junction, I close the door in a hurry.

And once I had ascertained that the sight of the demons coming after me had been blocked, I hurried into the kingdom.

”Clear storms, big eaters are on perimeter alert! The Heavenly Demon Guide uses exploratory magic to explore the reaction of the chauffeur of the room!

If you break through the door and come in, you won't be able to find us.

All we have to do is sit tight in the junction until the demons give up looking for us.

But strangely, there was no sign that the demons would break the door.

On the contrary, it doesn't even sound like a knock on the door.

When I'm suspicious, the devil's guide snaps my neck.

”What's up?

”Weird, the demons suddenly turned back”

What's this all about?

Are you saying that our territory is the only one in the building?

Well, that would help.

◆

We made sure it was safe for a while, and we'll be looking around soon.

When I came in, the lights only reached near the entrance, but now the magic of the lights lights lights all around me because there is a celestial guide.

”This is the courtyard...?

The doubtful shape is because there wasn't a single grass growing there.

There are just cobblestone-laid paths on the ground and stone decorations that would probably have been implanted.

I'm sure there were many ancients here in a time when this ruin was not a ruin.

Most of all, now it's just desolate and has its remnants.

”Whatever, let's take a break here.”

Some of them would have been injured in an impossible assault, so let's just say we get the attitude right.

◆

”Speaking of which, Mr. Liseau's weapon is also a magic item, right?”

If the cure had taken a rest in the junction, the big eater would have said that.

”Well, did you notice?”

”Earlier, Mr. Liseau was not wounded when he was bitten by a demon. Instead, I saw a fang crushed on the back of a black sword.”

You look surprised.

”Exactly. This sword is a two-to-one magic item with two big fangs.”

I will stop exploring and shake the black of the two swords.

”This black is the black fang, and the 10 fangs that grew from the back of the attack will replace me on the shoulder. Every time you take a single attack, your fangs crush, and once crushed, it takes a day to play one. Multiple fangs break at the same time when attacked too hard again”

And then the big white sword.

”The white one over here is White Tooth, and when attacking, he rides up the attack he has received so far and returns it to the target. If I use it right, it's my trump card.”

Yes, this is the biggest secret I've ever survived as an S-rank adventurer.

Some people think it's cheating to rely on the power of tools, but this is an item I found in the lower level of the dungeon.

I mean, because I had the strength, I was able to get it.

I mean, the people who came after me mostly shut up when I said that back.

”... are you glad I told you that much?

You didn't think you could tell me that much, the big eater shows his surprised face.

Ha, I want to see this face, so I'll tell you.

”Never mind, these two big fangs are as big as they look. There are no humans who can grab two of them at the same time. One sword at a time doesn't make it worth it.”

Yes, the reason I teach the abilities of two big fangs at all costs is because there are rarely any big swords that can handle two big swords at the same time.

With unusable magic items, it's hard for buyers to find them because even if they perform better, they just get more expensive.

So much so that the finesse is embellished on the walls of the noble mansion.

”Besides, you've never known more about your people than to fight at the same party, have you?

”That's true.”

The big eater has nodded over and over again.

”Well, that's why I don't have to teach you my trump card. Yesterday's companions can be today's enemies. In my case, this was a good ticket to teach.”

It's just harsh to tell a young man to expose his hands.

”Well, then you've recovered, and suppose it's time to go? If it's too late, the campers will be worried.”

◆

”Ko, is this!?”

When we resumed our search, we decided to look for any doors in the courtyard to return from the other routes to the ruins.

You'll be less likely to encounter demons from another entrance.

But along the way, we came across an unusual sight.

It was a mountain.

But the mountain is not a mountain made of earth or rock.

It was a mountain made of golem.

”Is this... the remains of a stacked golem?

As the Heavenly Devil said, all the golems that were mountains were broken.

”It's like a graveyard in the Golem.”

A clear storm jokes and says, but it doesn't even sound like a joke.

This sight was exactly like a graveyard.

It's as if the golems in this ruin gathered here to die.

Golem's body itself even looks like a grave marker.

”What the hell happened here...”

We were fascinated by this unusual sight.
