Advisor to Adventurer Alliance All Purpose ~ [Magic Swordsman] said to be [instrumentally poor] and banished from the Brave Party, but I can teach swordsmanship and witchcraft [All-purpose Instructor], so I decided to entrust my beloved apprentice with the King of Demons Crusade

"Something suddenly changed the atmosphere. I don't like it."

"Ho, it's finally starting to look like"

Ledo observes inside the central tower. There was still some familiar atmosphere in the building until earlier, but not here. A thin tube runs into the aisle in a bundle of stripped iron passages without decorations.

The light emitted from the lighting is strangely bright, which makes the darkness extra intense.

"Hmmm... for now I can't even see it on the map on that device or I'll try it"

What Gerthardt had ahead of him was a black plate integrated with the wall. When Gerthardt touched the bottom of that black plate, some uneven plate emerged from it from the wall.

"What's that?"

Irene peeks at it with interest.

"It's an operating device. I call it a console. Use this to get information about this tower..."

With that being said, Gerthardt manipulates the console with his accustomed handwriting. Light leaks from the black plate on the wall, which causes the images and letters to appear in the air.

"That's amazing... what kind of technology is that?

That's what Redo overheard of the power of the artifact he'd never seen before.

"It's a holographic display. I don't really like it because it's hard to see... I can't tell you how luxurious it is - Hmm, it's still unlocked in part because of [Dragon Star of Greed (Disaster Star)]"

That said, when Gerhardt operated some, a structural diagram of this central tower appeared in the middle of the aisle. But the lower part of the tower is blackened and I can't see what's going on.

"Hmm... to see this... the central control room is going to be at the top of this tower. And probably in this black, error-labeled part... he's asleep."

"Up there. That's a pain in the ass. It's gonna take a lot of time."

"If you climb normally, yes. You can also use a lift."

Gerthardt displayed a large structural diagram, glowing red where the Reds were.

"This is the location. So, this is the lift. With this, we can get to the top all at once."

Next, the position of the lift is displayed blue. It is in the same hierarchy, not so far apart as Ledo can see.

"Then let's get on our way."

"Redo - you should be careful. I don't know what I'm going to bowl from here. Other demons will naturally try to use lifts... and perhaps others"

"I guess. We'll do everything we can from here. Don't hesitate to use your magic, Irene."

"Really? Well, I think we can use it flashly."

Suspiciously glowing clear emerald gems nestled in the pattern of Irene's [Amarda's Missing Moon].

"All right, let's go"

Four run down the aisle ahead of Redo. Unlike earlier, footsteps echo slightly on metallic floors.

I was wondering if you could let the boulders through here.

At the end of the aisle was a little room. At the wall, Redo was lined with scraps of iron that we all had no idea what to use for, and there were black objects in all four corners that reflected some light.

More importantly, two lizards were waiting in that room. But the atmosphere was different from that of the lizards that had been attacked before.

Its entire body was wet with mucus or something as if it had been in the water until just now, and above all its appearance was closer to human beings. It could be said that it was almost the same as a person except for the head, which retained reptile characteristics, and the red scales of the whole body, and the tails that wobbled behind it.

Above all, the white (...) eyes (...) and (...) black (...) eyes (...) turned (...) and (...) their eyes dwelt on intelligence.

"Invasion... intrusion & % $... who... platoon & % $divided"

"Exclude & % $% & - Open & % Start!!

With a murmuring voice, the lizards who kicked the ground attacked the Reds standing at the entrance to the room.

A single lizard stretched his right-hand nail bladed and flattened horizontally to the most leading Ledo.

"Irene, Elios, I'll take care of you."

Redo screams as he receives the blade with a red song sword. The other lizard blade was prevented by Ellios with a shield.

"Copy that!

"I'll do it!

Redo plays the blade and sticks out the blue dagger.

"" Rip the sky, Lord, and carve branches on the waters without light. "[Thunder flashes (Kervnos)]"

Blue and white lightning strikes from the dagger walk to the lizard. Smoke rose with sparks from all over the lizard at the moment of the hit.

"Gu % $& 6 Gaa & % $& aaa!!

Lizards scream at the moment of the hit. Because of the mucus entanglement, the electric shock, which should soon flow to the floor, remains and burns the entire body of the lizard.

Black burned lizards wave blades to Ledo as they aim and caught off guard for a moment.

"Shibu-shike-na!

Play it with a blue dagger and tap a song sword into the lizard's neck.

"Shit! Stiff!

Clear aim. It was a blow, but it ended to the point of slightly shredding the scales in his neck. It was Ledo, who immediately drew his sword, but faster than that, the lizard's foot kick approached Ledo's belly.

"Come on!"

The blue dagger prevents a direct hit, but the shock blows Redo away. At the wall, Redo lands on an iron scrap. Redo observes the lizard coming towards him.

Obviously not as strong as the lizards who have fought in this temple. The same goes for the speed of movement, but harder than anything else is troublesome. I'm able to move with all that electricity, and I can't scratch one with my sword.

Looks like Redo is struggling the same way he sees Ellios and Irene. The lizard is stubbornly only after Irene and is not able to use demonic archery. Ellios also decided he couldn't keep up with the movement with his shield. He was challenging melee fights only with his spear, and he hasn't been able to make good use of the crossbow.

"Not enough breakthroughs..."

The space surrounded by this metal in the first place was a hard place to fight for Ledo. Redo is best at local attributes, so if you have floors or walls that contain rocks, sand or soil, you can also use good magic, but there's nothing here. So I really have to use the magic of other attributes that make it less powerful.

That's usually enough, though, but when you become an enemy of some strength, you lose your decision hit.

With avant-garde specialization like Cece, I can be somewhat vigorous... but Ledo assembled the tactics just because he had no choice but to do something with it.

Gerthardt is behind, observing this one with interest. Ledo turns his gaze all he wants to do is help if he can, but Gerthardt was just profoundly in agreement.

You mean you guys should do it alone... That's what Redo received.

"I have no choice, Irene! Over here! Ellios, use the wire."

"Huh!!

Redo issues a directive while striking the impending lizard blade in front of him. Irene reacts just that and runs to Ledo.

"You're this way"

As Ledo read, the other lizard also followed Irene, so Ellios, who could afford it, released a special shaped short arrow from the crossbow - a wire bolt. A lizard reacted just when he had an eye on his back avoided it to the right, but that short arrow was tied with a wire, and as it was, the short arrow stabbed him into the iron scrap between the walls, and the wire pinned on the left side of the lizard.

Plus Ellios released another wire bolt. The short arrow that flew to the right side of the lizard is tied to the wire that was tensioned earlier.

A short arrow past the lizard's left and right brings the wire stretched between them to the lizard. The lizard waves his right hand to slash the wire with a blade, but the special wire that reacts to magic does not slash, on the contrary, the electric shock generated by the demonic stone planted on the short arrow strikes the lizard.

A lizard whose power is loosened by that electric shock is entangled in the wire. And the wire became shorter as if wrapped around two short arrows stabbed at the wall - the result lizard was pulled by the wire up to the wall and sewn on the iron scrap at the wall.

"Ga 5 $% # ga!! Ga $% # lulu!!

Lizard, but with wires passing over his arms, he doesn't seem to be able to do well.

"All right!"

When Ellios shouted so unexpectedly, the lizard Ledo was dealing with was also on the side of the defense. It looks like a handful because it prevents a series of strikes by the two song swords of Ledo and Irene, but it still hasn't been damaged.

"Irene, angel (...) eh (...) ru (...)!"

"Just a moment, please!

Irene, who dropped behind Ledo, stood [Amarda's missing moon] in front of his face and chanted.

"" Tree-leaking light, show me the price. "" Princess Mai's reward. "

Light emanates from a gem nestled in the pattern of [Amalda's Lack Moon], which becomes banded and wraps Irene around like a vale. Accompanied by a dancer-like outfit, Irene's appearance became as if she were a heavenly woman.

"[Sand and Iron Dust (Iblees)]"

The strings of the black bow [Sakham's Bow Moon] on his back glow pale with both Irene's words, and a black arrow is produced over Irene's left hand. The arrow was not of a simple structure as previously used by Irene in demonic archery, but of an arrow as if it were a work of art, with fine decorations dug in black iron.

The power of a magic bow arrow is determined by the amount of magic that can enter the arrow, and by the finesse of the magic manipulation. Especially since the latter also appears in the appearance of an arrow, the discerning can see at a glance how powerful the arrow is.

Previously, Irene had only minimal magic power in the generation of fuel-efficient arrows, and had done a great deal of sorcery manipulation. That's why Redo looked at the arrow and found an unusual amount of magic caged in it.

Seeing Irene take that arrow directly into her hand instead of releasing it with a bow, Redo read the next move.

Irene kicks the ground as the light of the wrapped vale diminishes.

Backstep while Redo plays the lizard blade to match it. As Irene stepped forward to be replaced, she protruded a black arrow in her left hand to the empty lizard's chest.

Black claws penetrate the lizard scales lightly.

"Bye! - [Liberate]"

Irene waved her empty left hand as she backstepped.

The magic put into the black arrow that is stabbing you at that moment is activated. Black dust is released in a spiral from the prick, tearing the lizard's chest from the body into a rattle.

The lizard died while splashing blue and black blood and fell to the floor. At the same time Ellios stuck a spear into the captive lizard's eye hole and stabbed Todome.

"Phew... I knew it would be hard to get used in battle, Gerthardt."

When Irene waves [Amarda's missing moon], the wrapped vale is sucked into the pattern gem.

"Ho, it would be a tricky move to just use. I use it a lot, but I'm used to it."

Gerthardt, who came inside the relaxing room, so spoke to Irene.

"Ellios, that sounded good. I defeated him by myself."

"The wire fitted well this time, but it's hard inside"

Redo had already begun his journey, even as he wandered Ellios.

"Come on, let's go. It's possible these guys are still here. We'll do everything we can to take them down."

Thus the four Reds left the room early enough. But the Reds never realized that they were secretly observing their own battle.
