When everyone was sleeping in the labyrinth villa, I returned to the mansion alone to check the situation, but there were no special records…
The kids seem to be healing well, too…
I gave a nutritional supplement to Ms. Miteruna…
Since Ms. Miteruna asked about the greeting card, I decided to send it to not only for the people of this city, but also for Nina san in Muno Baronetdom…
I wanted to send greeting cards to my acquaintances in the capital Duchy and Bollhart as well, but since there were too many people, I would write for them when I had some free time…
I told him that I would leave again until tomorrow morning and return to the labyrinth…
He asked me about my purpose, but I indirectly said that it was a small affair…
During the tea party in the capital Duchy, I heard that young Nobles usually use such excuses when they visit women, so I imitated them…
"New hunting grounds…?"
"Yes, if we continue like this, the enemies in this area will most likely die tomorrow…"
"See from the map, area 74 or area 109 looks good…"
"Area 74 is filled with amphibians and reptiles, area 109 with insects…"
"am-fi-l…?"
"What kind of monsters are they…?"
"Amphibians are like frogs…"
"The reptile is like a snake or a lizard, I guess…"
There is a cockatrice in area 69 adjacent to area 109…
These monsters were of a high level, there were even those at level 50…
There also appears to be a high-level basilisk in area 77 adjacent to area 74…
Looking at the course, the reason why there were so many monsters in area 74 and area 109 was probably due to the cockatrice and basilisk driving away the explorers, so they could not enter any further…
"There are many insect-type monsters that have hard shells, so defeating them will take time…"
"I think area 74 with amphibian and reptile monsters is better here…"
Lina suggested so with a stiff face, but I did not miss the glint in her eyes when she heard about the frog…
Ciel looks happy about it, and the other members don't seem to mind…
If I'm not mistaken, a party called [Fang of Conflagration] will subdue the cockatrice, so we can also avoid them if we go to area 74…
Let's choose a course where we won't encounter explorers along the way as much as possible…
If we were going to meet with one, I could only take Cronoa and fly to the ceiling with [Sky Drive] and we probably wouldn't be found…
"A corner there…"
"Monster hiding…"
"Wait a minute, I'll examine the surroundings with space grasp magic, there are three Maze Centipedes…"
"One of them is on the ceiling so be careful…"
"I'll light up the ceiling with my light drop, so Mia chan, drop it with your bow, okay…"
"Mrs…"
"Cronoa, provocation…"
"You centipedes…!"
"Don't think you're great just because you have a lot of legs, so I declare…!"
I don't think centipedes have that on their minds…
One of the two centipedes that emerged from the shadows due to the provocation of Cronoa was dropped to the ground by the spear Tiane…
Right after, Lina cut off the head of the centipedes with her magic sword…
Totona illuminates the centipedes on the ceiling with its light drop…
An arrow shot by Mia with her small bow pierced through the gap between the centipedes crust…
Cronoa held the magic gun in another hand that did not hold the light drop, he skillfully shot the roots of the centipedes foot…
Sniper Totona has become better…
Cronoa held off the attacking centipedes with his great shield…
Centipedes eagerly mounted the great shield he struck and tried to attack, but Cronoa pierced his head with his large sword from below…
After all Cronoa read out Command Word [Tear] to activate the special magic sword function and destroy the centipedes head…
[Tear] This is a new feature I just tested…
I've inserted a thin membrane of force on the surface of the sword that will snap with the command word…
Since the eruption itself did not contain much power, I created a membrane on in the fine thread to increase the killing power and make it tear the enemy's body from within…
Compared to [Shell], there seems to be some situations where this can be used even if the enemy is weak, you are better off slashing with a sword normally…
The only one not to fight centipedes, Ciel deals with the Goblin Assassin who sneaks in from behind…
This monster is for the sake of the assassin-type goblins that sneak out from the shadows in the narrow passageway, they will launch a surprise attack from behind if you are careless…
Although their level was only around 3-5, it seemed that 30% of the explorers' deaths each year were caused by this Goblin Assassin…
"That's about [White 7 Vermilion 3]…?"
"There are rarely Red-level magic cores like in area 17, huh…"
Lina complained while turning on the centipedes core with a light drop…
From all the experiences so far, it seems that the older monsters, the deeper the color of the magic cores tend to be good…
And it seemed that the higher the level, the greater the magic core…
Along the way, in certain halls of area 1-2-21, we happened to pass the party of Miss Gina and Miss Heliona who fought with Soldier Mantis…
Soldier Mantis was a weak monster that was at levels 13-18…
Although I already said hall, there were variations in elevation and a curtain-shaped screen also hung from the ceiling, so the field of view was poor…
The curtain-shaped screen I had seen here and there in the hallways and corridors seemed to be the debris of the spider web that had accumulated dust…
The person who seemed to be the party leader there seemed to have noticed us as well, but it seemed that the leader had no intention of getting in touch with us unless we got closer…
The girls were in a party of 10 people, four with full body metal armor, two with partial metal armor and four with leather armor…
Miss Gina used a long spear instead of the flail from before and she attacked the monster from behind the heavy soldier who appeared to be Miss Heliona…
Looks like he was injured because there was a bandage wrapped in one of his arms…
I feel that firebolts are often about witch friends rather than monsters, but that must be my imagination…
The mockery must be my imagination…
"Ugeh…"
"Firebolt is directed at the back of the front guard shield user…"
"Agreed…"
"The witch is a dangerous pyromaniac, so I affirm…"
They should be able to win because there is only one opponent, but it would be dangerous if there were many…
We continued without calling them, and joined the girls who had gone ahead to get out…
"Easy victory…?"
"Master, we've collected magic cores…"
"thank you. Then let's go…"
I received the three magic cores of Soldier Mantis from Ciel…
I have asked him to go ahead and exterminate the small group of Soldier Mantis that came from the passageway…
Since Ciel had a small scratch on his cheek, I healed him with [Aqua Heal]…
I stored the remains of the Soldier Mantis in addition to the magic cores in the same folder in my Storage as it might be useful for something…
I can also put it into space magic[Garage] Lina or Tiane, but since they consume a lot of magic power, we are not using it for now…
There were many Mantis-type and Grasshopper-type monsters in this area 21…
It seemed like they could be sold very expensively, the large parties were doing campgrounds in every hall in the area…
Looking at them as we passed by, each party didn't seem to be fighting it out, they always had reserves that didn't fight…
I thought they were taking a margin of security, but I realized that they were taking precautions against something other than monsters after they warned me…
Perhaps not only against Lost Thieves, but also explorers who were supposed to be their friends…
There might be explorer parties who did poorly to snatch the monsters that had been defeated by the others after much difficulty from the side…
We found a body eaten by a monster in the main corridor that connects to the area where Miss Gina and the others just now…
I shot [Short Stun] to tear monsters from the bodies and Firebolt Tiane burned Maze Cockroaches…
Apparently, it was a combustible monster…
The body eaten by the Maze Cockroaches monsters was one of the people who chose to fight with us in the Western Guild, one of the friends of the man named Besso…
I took the dead hair and the Bronze plate that Ciel had collected into Storage…
"Ugeh, maybe he was attacked from behind when he ran…"
"Again.I recommend children not to see this…"
There was an intersection in front of this corridor, to the left of Besso and one of his friends and to the right was a hall with a large-scale party of 20 people…
The party fought monsters twice their number…
Among them, there were two people from the [Beautiful Wings] and three beastkin parties from the ant plague incident…
Besso and his friend seem to be running away without any monsters chasing them…
They both only have about 20% of their health left, but because their nature of life seems dirty, they will probably survive…
Rather than that, I was more interested in the composition of the 20-man party…
The five core members were around level 15-18, but the other 15 were around level 5-10, they were somewhat unreliable to fight monsters in this area…
Bluntly, that doesn't make sense…
Even the Maze Cockroaches that Tiand had easily defeated were now at level 12…
I don't want to leave acquaintances until they die and our members might be able to win unharmed, so I guess I'll interfere…
I was also thinking of clearing it remotely, but I decided to let everyone fight this time…
I didn't think that we should stop being inconspicuous, but we were already quite striking after getting Red Iron's promotion from the Guild Master…
Demonstrating everyone's abilities in front of other explorers, so that those around him recognized him more quickly would probably reduce the problem…
Fortunately, since my true strength would not spread, people would think that I was an incompetent Noble surrounded by powerful followers and I would be the target of threats or kidnappings…
It might be good to intentionally let myself be kidnapped and Lina and Tiane saved me afterwards…
But, I was a bit worried about the kidnapper, whether he would kill or be tortured by the two of them…
"Secilia, branch…"
"Yes, there are 20 explorers fighting the monster Maze Cockroaches like before on the right of the crossroads…"
"Then, we have to be straight…?"
I usually let Tiane or Lina make a judgment from Mia's report, but I decided on her plan this time because people's lives depended here…
"No, my acquaintances were there and they would be annihilated if they were left alone so let's save them…"
"Is it okay…?"
Tiane asked because it was not like the usual me, so I told everyone my thoughts now…
Mysteriously, not only Tiane, every member was also enthusiastic to be in a situation where they saved me from being kidnapped…
Regardless, since everyone agreed, we proceeded to the right at the crossroads…
"And who is that acquaintance…?"
"This is the female party and the beastkin from the ant plague incident back then…"
"Wait, I'm fine with helping them, but don't raise any weird flags, okay…"
So rude…
"I remember. Vulgar people who hug the master, right…"
For some reason, Totona looks rather spooky…
In the hall we have come to, perhaps leader shi is competent, there are no casualties even though the party is clearly in an unfortunate position…
They were already cornered in one part of the hall…
They were in a situation that was dangerous enough that if one party member died, they would be annihilated…
Well then, I'm sorry that it looks like we're waiting for our turn to show up, but let's let the cavalry out…
