Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

"You've always found this way."

Walking down a narrow corridor, he says.

Avoid the front passage with traps and walk through the hidden passage on the side wall.

"Well, it's easy and good. There are many signs of humans passing through this road recently."

Nao looks back and says.

The beast's ears are visible on both sides of Nao's head now, and shippo grows from his buttocks. It is a so-called semi-beast state. When Nao is fully beautified, he becomes a beautiful leopard with wings.

Nao's sensory abilities become sharper and his physical abilities increase with each veterinization. Instead, however, their dexterity decreases, their Armor and Armor are less equipped, and their Immunity to Spiritual Magic decreases.

In other words, there are advantages as well as disadvantages to veterinization. For this reason, you have to think about where to use it.

Now it is semi-beastified for exploration. Nao says his detection capabilities have improved, so the people who were taken must have gone this way.

"That way, I'm sure it's this way. And yet, it's totally untouchable."

"Really, it's boring with nothing."

"Ray-kun, Reno-chan! Better not have anything!

Sahoko is right. It would be better if there was nothing.

But I do feel like it's going too well. I do not know the purpose of the Minotaur, who carried out such a huge abduction. Or is there no particular aim?

The Godans ahead have defeated all the monsters, so it's much easier than going to the surface.

We trample down one level full of traps and go two levels. Nothing in particular has happened so far.

This path was found by the freedom fighters who explored this labyrinth. I wonder how many people were sacrificed until we found this passage.

Freedom fighters are trampling down to four levels. It's easy because we're just going on the safe path they found. However, it seems that it is almost impossible to understand from the bottom of the five levels. Somehow no one came back.

Perhaps our appearance will consist of five levels.

Shizufe and the others stop as they go through the passage of the labyrinth.

"What's wrong, Shizufe?

"Dear Reiji, From here on, it will be three levels underground. I wanted to tell you that there are some monsters from here."

In front of Shizufe, there is a ladder that goes down to the basement three stories.

"Really? Incidentally, what kind of monster comes out?

"Akepharos and Ibirus. These monsters roam the third and fourth floors."

Akepharos is a monster with no neck. Instead of having a neck, there are eyes on both chests and mouths on the stomach. It resembles a monster called Sentencing Ten in China.

Akepharos has an iron body, is good at handling weapons, and produces powerful acids from his mouth.

And Ibirus is a monster with giant eyeballs and tentacles like the optic nerve. The light emitted from the huge eye paralyzes, enchants, and petrifies the subject.

And they wrapped their prey with tentacles and robbed him of his vitality.

Both monsters are quite dangerous for ordinary people.

Shizufe and the others encountered Akepharos when they joined the expedition in the past.

Half of the Explorer's Freedom Fighters were killed then, but they managed to escape.

Are the previous Gordans okay?

Shizufe seems anxious to remember when he encountered Akepharos.

"It's okay, Shizufe. We're with you. So don't worry."

"Dear Reggie...."

Reiji said Shizufe looked happy.

And Novis on the side doesn't seem to be interesting.

"I'm worried about the Godans who are going ahead. Let's hurry up."

◆ Freedom Warrior Girl Shizufe

"Air Bullets!!

Maddie casts a lower magic spell than Sonic Wave.

This causes giant bats to lose their sense of direction and flicker.

Me and Kaina's sister drop it.

With a monster like this, we can win.

Behind us are Lady Reggie and the others.

We should work hard up to four levels. There's no need to bother Rage with such a clumsy fish.

Novis, Leelia, and Nora defeat the zombie from the right.

"Stop! Shizufe-san!!

Nao-sama's voice stopped me. Nao-sama, who looks half like a beast, seems to have a sharp sensation.

"Something's coming..."

Nao-sama pointed to the cracked part of the wall. From there comes a huge eyeball.

"Ibil Eye!!

A disgusting tentacle is stupid behind his eyeballs.

"Light! Protect everyone!!

The voice of the Virgin resonates. And the next moment, Iberian eyes glowed.

I accidentally covered my face with my hands.

And I opened my eyes, but nothing happened. There are grains of light dancing around me.

Looks like the Virgin protected me by magic.

Stand back, Mr. Shizufe.

The wise man comes forward.

"Sage! Ibil Eyes are highly resistant to magic. Can't be defeated by magic!!

Maddie advises the wise man. Indeed, Ibirus is resistant to magic. We should fight here with a sword, not magic.

"It's okay, look. Bomb (Burst Barred)!!

When a red sphere of light appeared in front of the wise man, he headed towards Ibleye.

And when it hits Iberian Eye, it explodes and completely destroys the eyeballs.

"Lying... I can't believe I'm going to defeat you with magic..."

Maddy looks incredible.

"Whoa, they're still here."

Nao-sama now points in a different direction.

"Now Reno will do it. Salamander, please!!

When the lizard of fire came out of Lino's hand, he burned the slime that appeared to soak.

I've seen that color slime in the past, but it's a dangerous source of vicious acid.

Reiji's wives defeated two monsters in an instant.

Let's go first.

When Reiji says so, everyone starts to fall asleep.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"Wow... I just knocked it down...."

Novis groans.

I nod when I hear it.

Dark-haired sage Chiyuki.

The pure white Virgin Sahoko.

Lino the Spirit.

Nao-sama has excellent detection ability.

And Lady Raj, the brave man of light who binds them together.

They all combine beauty and strength.

After that, there are some people who are called sword maidens, even though they are not here now. I'm sure this one is amazing.

I didn't think there were so many people in the world. I don't think there are anyone in the world who can beat them.

Reiji and the others proceeded with dignity. No monster can stop them.

Let's go, too.

Everyone nods when I say so.

And we started walking again.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

"Ooooh!!

I went down to the fourth basement and caught up with the Godans. Gordon was fighting Akepharos.

Akepharos' shield and Gordon's ax hit.

Akepharos attacks Gordon with his sword when he bounces back Gordon's axe.

Gordon backs it up and avoids it.

It's a pretty good match. But Gordon seems to be pushed a little bit.

The body of Akepharos is two meters, about the same size as the giant Gordon.

Freedom fighters are down around here. Looks like Akepharos and Gordon got caught up in a fight. If you look closely, some of them have broken their armor and shields.

When Gordon leaves, Akepharos opens his stomach.

"Shit!!

Gordon holds a huge shield.

Akepharos spits liquid out of his mouth and spreads something around him.

"Gwaaaaaahh!!

Gordon shielded himself, but the freedom fighter behind him bathed in what came out of Akepharos' mouth.

Smoke comes out of the body of the liquid Freedom Warrior and screams. Looks like the armor is melting.

Gordon's shields are probably safe because of the magic.

Dwarf's Freedom Warriors and Magicians support Gordon.

"What a mess...."

Nao is right and I lose. Gordon is fighting well, but he's being pushed by the power of Akepharos.

Still, unlike other freedom fighters, you can only fight, should I say that you are the brave man of the earth?

But you won't get it anymore. We should help.

"I'll go here. I've done very little to date."

Reggie comes forward and pulls out the sword.

It's a spare look. Well, with that much, Reggie can be defeated with a single blow.

"Let's go, flash!!

Rage slashes Akepharos with a series of light-speed attacks when he moves quickly.

The shredded Akepharos collapses as it is.

"Awesome....."

"I could not see the sword flash at all."

This is the power of the Light Warrior.

The freedom fighters who saw it shouted with admiration.

"Thank you so much, Milord of Light."

The saved Gordon approaches and lowers his head.

Heal Sahoko's wounded Freedom Fighters.

Most of the Freedom Fighters who were ahead of them were incapable of moving, and only a few were able to move properly.

"Looks like it's getting tough. Then we'll go alone."

I tell Shizufe and Godan.

With her guidance, I was able to avoid the room with the trap and get here through a safe road.

There must be a place to go down five stories from here. There's no Freedom Warrior here to guide you from five. And even if we could stay together any longer, we'd still be tight.

So let's go alone from here.

"I'm sorry, Reiji. I couldn't guide you to the end....."

Shizufe apologizes to Reiji.

"Never mind. Well, when I get back, I'll have a drink with you. Just the two of us, if you can. May I?

Reiji laughs refreshingly.

"Yes, please join us."

Shizufe says happily. Looks like we've had some fun on our way home.

Shizufe and Godan return to the path they came from.

We were the only ones left.

"We're the only ones from here. Mr. Nao, is this the way?

"I think there's no mistake. It's obviously not a freedom fighter. It smells like people walking through here."

Nao answers by smelling the surrounding smell.

"So is there anyone else who's been taken away?

"Probably, Sahoko. The question is, how far does it go?"

Reggie says with a serious face. I certainly don't know how far the underground labyrinth goes.

If it lasts too long, you should go home for a while.

"It's about time I left. It's dark here."

"Hang in there a little longer, Mr. Lino. And it's a little bright."

This labyrinth was a little bright with magical lights all the way from the first basement.

It seems that this labyrinth is not built for people with night vision abilities.

"By the way, where are we going?

"Well, I'd like to go where there are people who have been taken, if possible... If you can't find it on the next level, let's go home."

At least you'll have to go to five floors where no one has ever been. Otherwise, I don't know what we're for.

Let's go, guys.

With Reiji's voice, we move on.

◆ Freedom Warrior Girl Shizufe

"Hah... you managed to come back."

I come back to the surface and exhale.

Unlike going, Reggie and the others weren't there, so I had a hard time getting back here, but I managed to get back.

Freedom fighters who have returned in the same way look relieved.

The fourth level is a dangerous one.

It is a miracle that there were no casualties in that hierarchy. I'm sure this is all thanks to Reiji and the others.

"Still, they were amazing people..."

Maddy looks down the stairs to the first basement and says.

"I'm sure that's amazing... Even when I was able to talk to the Spirit, I couldn't get along as well with the Spirit."

Nora remembers Lino and says.

"The Virgin is amazing, too. You can use that healing magic."

"Nao's daughter is amazing. I can't believe you can move that much in that cramped space."

Reilia and Kaina's sisters praise the Virgin and Nao, respectively.

The magic of the wise man was also amazing. I can't use that kind of magic no matter how much I study. "

Maddie continues to praise the wise man.

Everyone praises Reiji and the others.

I'm sorry about Novis, but that must be the real hero.

There is a difference between heaven and earth and other brave men.

I see Novis called the Warrior of Fire. Novis is somehow in a bad mood.

Perhaps Novis had a sense of confrontation with Reiji.

I've known Novis since he was a kid, but he hates losing. However, I don't think it makes sense to have a sense of confrontation with Reiji.

Because Reiji was chosen by the goddess. There are others who are called heroes, but only Lady Reggie loved heroes. Reiji is a true hero.

Therefore, it is too stupid to have a confrontational consciousness towards Reiji, who is a special existence.

"Novis, what are you looking like in a mood for?

"Nothing... I'm not in a mood."

I sigh at the expression.

"You're not going to fight Reiji anymore! It's no use fighting me!!

"Ha!!!

Novis looks at me with a strange voice when I say so.

I think it was a star as I thought when I saw that face. I knew Reiji had a strange sense of confrontation, and I wanted to tell him to grow up.

"Well, don't say that, Shi ~ Zufe ♪"

Kaina's sister hugs me from behind.

"Kaina sister?!!

Turning around, Kaina's sister smiles slightly.

"Well, Novis, it's not funny that the Light Warrior finally invited Shizufe. That's right, No-Vis."

"Kaina sister!!!

Novis screams.

"It's not funny that I was invited by Reiji.... Why?"

"That's Shizufe... but no."

Novis blocks Kaina's sister's mouth. I don't really know.

"I don't know. It was a social resignation that Lady Reggie invited me. You don't really take me for a partner."

Reiji said he wanted to go for a drink alone, but there's no way he meant it. Because there are so many beautiful women, drinking with me won't be fun.

"Hah... don't you understand Shizufe...? I meant it...."

Novis shook his head.

But no matter what you think, I don't think Reiji will invite me.

And what does that have to do with Novis where I was invited?

"I'm already saying something I don't know! Let's go back to Tessecia!!

That's how I start walking.

I can hear my friends sighing from behind.

What the hell is going on?

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

We go out into a large space.

There is a huge door in the back of the hall.

It seems we can descend from the room beyond that door to five floors.

But this hall has a guardian to fear.

We see the center of the hall.

There stood a giant metal statue golem.

"That's the gatekeeper blocking the way to the fifth floor."

According to Shizufe, most people can't get down to the fifth floor because of that golem.

However, I hear that some people have gone down to the fifth floor through the gap in the Golem. However, it seems that no one has returned.

"What should I do, Reggie? Defeat that Golem? Or are we going to bypass it?

Avoiding wasteful battles is one hand. Given that there is no one back there, there may be something in the five levels. Maybe you should keep your strength.

"No, let's fight here, Chiyuki. If someone was taken to the fifth floor, it would be an obstacle to return."

Reggie pulls out the sword.

Reggie's sword is the Holy Sword of Light from Lena. When you pull it out of your sheath, golden light overflows from your sword.

That's true, too.

I hold my cane.

Well, let's go then.

Nao also stood up for a boomerang.

"Who's going first?

"I'll go, Mr. Lino. Lino will not be able to use the power of the Spirit in this closed space."

That's what I'm saying.

Lino is good at spiritual magic and spiritual magic.

But the Spirit doesn't respond to the call that it's a closed space.

When Lino enters this labyrinth, he brings in lower spirits such as fire lizard salamanders, so he can fight to some extent. However, you can't use a higher Spirit here.

And the opponent can't understand spiritual magic, which is a giant statue Golem of the dead.

In other words, it doesn't go well with Lino.

That's why I'm going forward.

It seems that the giant statue will not move unless it gets close enough. I don't want it to be fine.

The giant statue has a strange appearance, like two people connected to each other on their backs. Four hands and four feet. Each of the four hands holds a large magical sword.

Five meters of a dull, glowing metal body seems hard.

I activate magic. A red light bulb the same size as mine appears before.

"Big Bomb!!

The red light bulb moves vigorously and explodes when it hits a giant statue.

Bomb (Burst Barred) is my original magic that narrows the area without losing the power of explosion. No matter how powerful a giant statue has unleashed that bomb, it won't be enough.

The smoke clears up from the explosion. One of the giant statue's arms hangs down and cracks all over his body.

"It's hard. Looks like everything didn't break...."

I wish I had used a little more firepower magic. I thought it was indoors so I made it a little too weak.

Besides, it looks like the statue is made of some kind of special metal. It seems pretty hard.

I still think it was quite destroyed. A few more shots will shatter.

The four eyes of the giant statue glow red. Looks like they recognized us when they attacked us.

Then suddenly a light strip appears on the wall and floor of the room.

"Eh!! Hey, aren't you playing?

Sahoko shouted surprisingly.

The giant statue's body is glowing in response to the light on the walls and floors of the room, and the hanging arm is gradually returning to its original position. Your whole body's cracks are gradually disappearing.

"I can't believe it's self-healing. Probably because of the magical devices that were planted throughout this room."

Looks like a pretty tough enemy.

When the giant statue moves, it raises its sword and comes towards us.

Rage comes forward.

"Let me! Flash!!

Rage's continuous attack on Light Speed stops the giant statue from moving.

"Avoid it, Reggie! Triple Big Bang!!

I release three enhanced bombs the moment Raj avoids the side.

The explosion blows the giant statue back.

"Did you do it?

"No, not yet!!

I deny Sahoko's voice.

The four swords of the giant statue glowed and took a defensive stance. It doesn't look like it was the first time.

Looks like we've taken some damage, but we can't take it down.

When the giant statue stops moving, the room lights up again. Then the giant statue recovers.

Looks like you can't take down half the damage. But if you shoot magic with more firepower, the room could break.

"I'll take this!!

Nao releases a boomerang.

Boomerang creates sickle skunks and merges them into giant statues.

The four swords of the giant statue shine again.

A film of golden light appears around the giant statue.

When the motion of the boomerang is dull against the membrane of light, the sword of the giant statue will repel the boomerang.

"Whoa?! It's hard inside."

Nao said impressed.

Nao has superior fast detection but weak attack power.

Looks like Nao's attacks are hard to deal damage to giant statues.

"Nao and Reno, stay back! Me and Reggie, I'll take you down!!

It is difficult for Lino and Nao to deal damage to the opponent. You should fight me here in Raige.

"No, Chiyuki, stay back. I'll do this alone."

That's how Raj tries to get me back.

"Okay, Reggie? That golem looks pretty strong."

"It's okay, Chiyuki. There's something I'd like to try."

That's how Raige smiles.

Then pull the other sword out of your back. The sword is not like the holy sword Lena gave me, but it was made by a famous dwarf.

Reggie holds two swords. It's ambitious.

To be honest, this figure cannot be seen by Shirone. Because this is to beat Shirone's childhood habits.

The defeated Raige went to ambidextrous thinking to become stronger.

Rage is an evolving monster. Next time you fight, you'll beat Shirone's childhood acquaintance. And I won't beat Rage again.

Rage storms the giant statue. The statue holds four swords and intercepts them.

Reiji skillfully stroked the giant statue's sword with two swords.

"Amazing, Senpai Reiji. I can't do that with Nao."

Nao exclaimed. Nao is the most physically competent of us. Reggie is really a monster who can't even do the same thing with Nao.

As a matter of fact, Reggie is bicommunal. You can hold a pen in both hands and write letters at the same time. I was surprised when I first saw it. For this reason, you can manipulate two swords simultaneously without feeling uncomfortable.

The giant statue is bigger than Reggie and has as many as four swords. In contrast, Reggie has only two swords. Nevertheless, the giant statue is pushed.

The giant statue is destroyed by Reiji's unstoppable series of attacks.

I can't see his face, but I can see him laughing.

I'm enjoying that. It looks like Raige has only enough enemies to play with.

However, giant statues heal every time the room glows, even if their bodies are destroyed. I can't beat him with that.

"That's quite a hassle... How about this!!

And Reggie jumps back a little away from the giant statue.

"Giggle!! The wings are broken!!

Raige lowers his sword and leaps his body like a spring towards the opponent. The speed is incredible, as if it were an arrow of light.

I've seen that trick in the past. It's a brute force attack that makes your body fly like a spring. It is easy to avoid because of the large preliminary operation, but it is powerful enough to penetrate anything if it hits.

Rage's attack hits a giant statue.

And after passing by, there's a big hole in the giant statue. And the giant statue crumbles with cracks around the hole.

The room shines again. However, the giant statue is not recovering.

It was shattered, and it seemed like it would never play again.

"I did it!!

"Mr. Reggie!!

"Ray-kun!!

Three people rush to Reggie. Three people hug Reggie, saying it's amazing.

I think it's really amazing, too. I almost defeated that giant statue by myself.

Besides, Raige doesn't seem serious yet.

I rush to Raige, too. I can't help but admire you for not hugging me.

"Let's do it, Reggie!!

"Of course. You fell in love again, right?

Reggie laughs at me.

I think it would be great if we didn't get on the right foot.

Well, that's Raige, so I can't help it.

"What are you talking about?! Let's go first."

That said, I see the door that the giant statue was guarding.

I don't know what's waiting for me from here.

We open the door and enter.

There is a staircase that goes down.

Down the stairs you reach a large room.

The large room is smaller than the hall earlier, but it is the size of the inside. And there's a magic team in the middle.

"Is this the magic of metastasis? Looks like we need to move in with this magic team to get out of here."

I approach the magic team and say.

"Mr. Chiyuki. Your shoes are falling off."

Looks like Nao found something.

Everyone goes to Nao.

"These look like kids' shoes."

Leno was right. The shoes were small and looked like they were for children.

"I wonder if it belongs to the children who were among those who were taken?

"Definitely, Sahoko. Probably got moved somewhere by the magic team."

I think Reggie's right. I wonder if the people they took were transferred somewhere.

"What should I do, Reggie? I don't know what the destination is....."

"We'll have to go. It's enough to take him alive. It shouldn't be a place where people can't live."

"That's true....."

Take him alive. It's hard to imagine a dangerous trap where humans will soon die. For example, I don't think the destination is in the flame.

I checked the magic formation and found that the metastasis was one-way. I may not be able to come back if it is metastasized.

But if you don't go, you won't know anything.

Maybe you should leave someone alone. However, Raige is the greatest force in the war and cannot remain.

I need to go, too, because there may be magic tricks.

I also want to take Nao, who has excellent detection ability.

Sahoko's healing magic cannot be removed.

Lino is qualified, but he won't like being outnumbered.

That's why we all have to go.

We nod when we face each other.

Then we all join the magic team.

The magic team glows.

When the view is distorted, we are thrown into some room.

The room is not a secret room, and light comes in from outside the room.

"Bright. What's going on?

Sahoko's words take us outside.

"It's incredibly spacious... I don't think it's in the labyrinth."

Nao was right, there was a large space there. The ceiling is very high, with more than ten cities.

And there's a huge crystal sticking out of the ceiling as big as a city. The light comes out of the crystal.

Thanks to that light, this vast space has a brightness that does not seem to be inside the labyrinth.

"There are also forests and lakes. It's like I'm outside."

Lino shouted in surprise.

I was surprised, too. I didn't think there was such a place in the labyrinth.

There's a field. Looks like someone lives there. "

Rage looks away and says.

It was a building like a shrine that flew us. The shrine is built on a hill. As a result, we were able to see the entire large space.

You can see fields in forests and lakes in a large space.

"Looks like there's a city far away..."

Look at the direction Nao is looking.

I can see several buildings there.

"We have to go. Perhaps there are people who have been taken from this place. So let's move on, people."

We nod at Reiji's words.

I don't know what's waiting for me. But we'll have to move on now.

We began walking towards the city.

◆ Atlanakua

In my mansion in the Republic of Ariadia, Eulia, the princess of the Pasipa Air Kingdom, is looking out the window.

"Fufu, is Reiji at his father's now? Now Reiji belongs to me... Don't you agree, Atlana?

Eulia murmured as she looked in the direction of the labyrinth.

"Dear Eulia... Zalxis wanted the power of the brave."

"It would be a waste for him to die like that. It should be mine."

I have a headache when I hear Eulia's words.

This princess was born between Lavrus and the human queen of the kingdom of Pacipaea.

Lavulus, God, is the father, but this daughter is a human being. It's not particularly powerful.

But it's dangerous to be rude, even if you're human, because your father is Lavrus.

That's why I keep my head down.

This princess is quite beautiful because she resembles her mother fortunately. He would have looked horrible if he had looked like his father.

"Well then, I promise...."

"I can't. Besides, I already asked your father. It doesn't matter if I want to make a promise to Sarxis."

Eulia laughs. The smile resembled La Vulus somewhere.

Father Lavulus murdered a man, humiliated a woman, and devoured as much pleasure as possible. And her daughter is arrogant and greedy like her father.

Anyone who wants it will definitely get it.

Lavrus is a man who breaks his promise with peace. If your daughter asks you to do something like Sarxis's, you'll be rebellious. With this, Zarxis cannot suck the strength of the brave.

Eulia laughs innocently. Parents and children are selfish.

"Besides, you must be after Lena. The goddess will feel sorry for the man I love."

Eulia says while dyeing her cheeks.

She played a play to lure the hero of light. He liked the Light Warrior a lot at that time.

And Eulia is right.

I want to beat up that goddess of shit, Lena. I'm sorry about Zarxis, but I can't change my mind.

If you think so, you can say that things were carried out as intended.

I want to tell Lena to look at me. I caught your precious man. Let's give it a break.

You look good on the fierce Lavrus.

Think so and laugh a little.

Now, how does Lena move? The thought broke my heart.
