Saya ran desperately and ran to reach the elf's inner land.....
"Nh... what...!? This...!!?
There was a fire all over the town, and everything in the house was on fire. Besides....
"Uughhhh!!?
The power that Saya doesn't like is spreading all over Sataka, and Saya vomits unbearably. The elves in the village were bleeding and collapsing. Saya glanced at the elves and turned away immediately. The elves saw some scars like being hit by beast nails and fangs.
"Maybe... stampede...?
Stampede. It is a very rare event that is treated as a superhazardous natural disaster where monsters flock in groups.
"But... why...?
Saya didn't know why this elf village got caught up in Stampede.
There are countless "labyrinths" in this world. Recent research has shown that this "labyrinth" is responsible for monsters. The Labyrinth disappears when you defeat a powerful monster called the Dungeon Master at the far end of the Labyrinth. Therefore, the main activity of the adventurers is to attack the "labyrinth" and eliminate the "labyrinth". In addition, if you attack the "Labyrinth" several times, you will be awarded the title of "Warrior" and gain wealth, fame and status. One of them is Gillias.
And the Adventurer Guild largely reported that the "Labyrinth" invasion of "Teluka", a country where subhumans and humans lived together, had almost ended, and Saya had heard of it, so she thought that there would be less monster damage in this country.
But it was Saya's mistake. Gillias only attacked most of them. Still, there were countless low-ranking Labyrinth in Teluka. Gillias didn't dare to attack the low-ranking Labyrinth.
Because even if there is a "labyrinth" with a lower rank, the only monsters that occur are those with a lower rank, so even adventurers with a lower rank can deal with it. Then, Gillias thought that he would only attack the "labyrinth" with a high rank, and that the "labyrinth" with a low rank should be left to the lower rank. I don't think it makes sense for me to go out of my way to attack. Even if a stampede occurred, Gillias thought that with the magical power of the border, it could be managed because a group of low-ranking monsters would only come in a herd.
However, because Gillias had never dealt with Stampede, he had no idea what the real threat was.
At least 100 stamps. When there are many monsters, more than one country's total inhabitants come together in a group. If they attack with that number, even the adventurers who have been given the title of "Brave One" will not be able to defeat them. Besides, Stampede monsters can be mixed with the higher species of the monster, an anomalous individual monster called a unique monster, and even monsters comparable to Dungeon Masters. Even though it is extremely troublesome for a group of mixed fish monsters, if you deal with them, they are already in a raised state. This village of elves is actually a good example.
And the sad thing about this elf village was that when Gillias visited a few days ago,
"This" Labyrinth "has almost been attacked! That's why I hope you live in peace!
Gillias stirred up the liquor and laughed at the shoulders of several female elves, so the inhabitants of the Elf Land believed the word "fiery hero."
Originally, Elves were a very vigilant species, but here in "Teluka", interaction between humans and other subraces only flourished, and the area became considerably thinner. Therefore, the Elves who believed in the words of the brave failed to cast the magic of the borderline, and this tragedy now exists.
"... there may still be someone safe...! I have to help...!?
While desperately enduring the nausea, Saya held a small hope that there might still be survivors and decided to look around the ruins of the collapsed elves to confirm the survivors while walking with Yoroyolo.
