144 Episode 144: Arrive! Land of Corrosion (2/2)
”Huh?”
It was then.
Suddenly, I thought Mr. Rex was screaming, and something jumped at me from the swamp.
”Ha!
Mr. Rex's sword protects me from sudden stiffness.
”Are you all right, Mr. Liliera!?”
”Huh!? Yeah, it's okay! What's that more than that!?”
”Give me that.”
When Mr. Rex urges me to look at the swamp, I see who I am for what I have attacked myself there.
”Is that... demon!?”
Yes, what was there was the appearance of a demon cut in two by Mr. Rex's sword.
The demon looked like a mukade, but its size was not comparable to that of a normal mukade.
”Giant poison sentient speed, right? Apparently, they're making this poisonous swamp a place to live.”
”This is what's in the swamp!?”
I was completely caught off guard.
If we'd normally been tearing the swamp apart, wouldn't my body have been cut in two with this giant jaw, regardless of the poison?
No matter how much physical enhancement magic you can use to strengthen your protection, it doesn't mean you can activate it all the time...
That's what happens when the battle is over and you get caught off guard and your sight is under zero water...
I'm so glad I could use some flying magic...
”Unlike regular mukades, he can also be active in the water for a long time, so it sounds like he was lurking in the swamp and waiting for his prey to approach him”
”Hide, how many demons are hiding in this swamp?
”... uh, roughly 2,000 for small and large.”
”” ”Garlic!?” ”
Probably used detective magic, but there are still too many 2000!
”Even normal demons have a lot of numbers, but it's not like you're here to die for having a 2000 poisoned demon!
”Huh? But there's a poisonous necklace.”
”” ”Ah” ”
Yes, it was. We were equipped with disinfectant magic items.
”Uh, well...”
”I think you should travel through the marshes while flying through the air to avoid being attacked by demons that have popped up”
……
Speaking of which, we can fly.
Does that mean you're not too scared of poisonous demons as long as you keep them at altitude?
”Oh, that? That's crazy. We must have come to the dangerous realm of S-rank, where the fierce monster hits.”
”Bizarre encounter. I remember that too.”
”Ha-ha-ha! Eat, you demons! The flames of my righteousness burned me down!
If you look, Gyro, you were provoking demons as you raised and lowered altitude, tearing apart demons that were called out and popped.
You're so lively that you don't have to worry about getting poisoned.
”Um, we'll do it, too?
”Uh, yeah. Right.”
When we got back together, we decided to take part in the demonic exorcism.
◆
”Come on, it's a hassle to retrieve the demon you defeated.”
If you were crusading against demons, Gyro, you would say that.
”Huh? Why?
”Because it's swampy down there, and if you leave it alone, it's gonna sink, right? So if you don't go get it soon, you'll have to dive into the swamp. Even if the poison doesn't work with him, it's a little poisonous.”
Uh, I do understand what you're trying to say.
”Then why don't you put it in a magic bag in the air before the demon falls into the swamp? Then you don't have to worry about poisonous swamps, do you?
The demons that Mr. Rex has turned into two, as is normal, are subjected to magic bags in the air.
”No, that's just a bit of a hurdle, brother...”
”Get the hang of it, it'll be easy.”
No, no, I don't think I can do that either. Look, Mina's snorting, too.
”Oh, well, let's purify the swamp.”
”” ”Huh?
We overheard Mr. Rex's strange remarks.
”Full clean purification!”
”” ”Heh?
Suddenly I wonder if Mr. Rex activated the magic, and his surroundings are surrounded by light.
”Huh? What? What?”
Though I figured out what the hell I had done, soon the light would calm down.
”Hey, what did you do, Rex...”
”Ohhhhhhh!?”
The minute I tried to ask what I had done, Mina's scream sounded.
”Now what!?”
”No, swamp! Swamp!”
”What? What happened to the swamp?
If you look at the ground in Mina's words, what was there was a normal ground with no weirdness whatsoever.
On a really normal ground, what are you surprised...... that?
That's crazy. We should be in a corrosive land by now.
Yet I saw normal ground...?
”Is that it? Swamp, where have you been?
Yes, Gyro, you're right. There's no swamp.
It should be there, the corrosion swamp was gone.
”Les, Mr. Rex? What the hell did you do?
I summoned the calm within me to question Mr Rex.
Because this situation must have something to do with Mr. Rex, who activated the magic.
”Yes! If it's troublesome for the material to sink into the poisonous swamp, I thought we should purify the poison and turn it into normal soil! So I cleansed the neighborhood's poisonous swamps with a bit of wide-area purification magic to make them normal ground! The range is only around here, but you don't have to worry about the material sinking!
”Whoa! That's my boulder brother! This is the magic I used to clean dobs!
Dob cleaning!? What magic did you use to clean the dob!?
”Yeah, well, I remember you very well, Mr. Gyro.”
”Hehe, there's no way you're gonna forget to clean the dob like you're gonna take down Dark Blob.”
Dark Blob with Dob Cleaning!? What the hell happened with Dob Cleaning!?
”Hehe, the ground is solid and you don't have to worry about scaffolding, and you don't have to worry about poison with this! Suggestions, brother!
”No, no, that's just too much praise, Mr. Gyro.”
Gyro, you send Mr. Rex a look of respect, and Mr. Rex has the look on his face just saying he did a good job at Mr. Rex.
Or is it good that the... poisonous swamps that make it a dangerous area are purified with the magic they use to expose the dob?
”Ah, look at you, Gyro! It's fixed with half the demons that were lurking in the swamp buried! Here's your chance!
”Whoa! Seriously!... but why is he buried only half of them?
”Maybe I was surprised by my magic and jumped out of the swamp because the swamp was purified and soiled before my whole body came out”
”Enough to be done. He's lucky! They can barely move.”
”Hey!
”Hey both of you! What's wrong with you!? Here's your chance! Let's hunt all at once!
They rush us innocently, but we didn't feel that way.
……
”Mr. Liliera?
”Hmm? What's going on, Mina?
Two people wonder how we are.
Yeah, you know what? - I don't know.
……
……
Me and Mina gaze at each other and nod.
And I yelled at the two of them to turn back.
”” Something already! Ruined everything. ””
This isn't a danger area anymore, it's not a safety area mistake!?
