"Wow... it's true"

Miliu raised his dismay because he ran into a trident about a dozen minutes from the point reported by Setuna.

The divide that emerged in the dark by the light of the Demonic Crystal lamp would be better, rather than a trident, such as a crossroads, combined with the paths leading up to this point. Front, back, left, right, the aisle continues straight. Naturally, the passage in every direction doesn't make a difference. Covered by inorganic and metallic walls, ceilings and floors.

"How much better is my ear?"

"You're creepy"

"That's terrible."

Setsuna was flashy, but never in a bad mood. Rather, it can be said that it exalts itself to the awesomeness of the true power of the black spear. Of course, I understand so much that if I continue to exalt indefinitely as it is, I can be drank by my powers and lose sight of myself, and I also note that I must be careful not to do so.

"From which direction should we attack?

"Right......"

Will-Weed put his hand on his chin and looked like he thought deeply.

Interlocking demonic crystal lamps are placed at equal intervals on the passageway walls you have been passing through, and you don't seem to have any difficulty on your way home. It was also the main road. Whatever direction you have taken, you will be able to return to the ground without any problems if you return to this crossroads.

Incidentally, this investigation is not to be carried out over a long period of time. It is only meant to construct a relay point to survey the interior of the site one by one and expand the scope of the investigation.

"What about splitting up and investigating?

"You don't have that. You won't be able to deal with it when you have to."

"Oh well."

"That's right. If your husband was attacked by Miryu,

"Why would I do that!

"Sure... na"

"Why not!

"I will protect Setuna."

"So!"

Miliu was outraged by the ratings of the Lems, but he couldn't help but think of Setsuna scissors. Then I turn my gaze back on the Will-Weed guys. The investigation team is sticking their heads together and starting to think about future policies.

"Let me tell you something, if you keep going straight, you'll come across something."

"Something...?

Jean-Jackwar made his expression strong. His flesh, though a warrior face loser, will remember fear, considering that the Imperial Devil may be lurking in this ruin. The Imperial Devil is the natural enemy of mankind. Fears engraved in blood are not so easy to wipe away.

"I can hear something moving. It would be footsteps."

"The Imperial Devil?

"I don't know. Maybe something else."

Even if you're an Imperial Demon, is it something you can spend hundreds of years in a place like this?

The Imperial Devil says he will build and reproduce a nest. It's unlikely we're building a nest somewhere inside this ruin, but even so, we need bait to sustain our lives. The Imperial Devil is also a creature. You have to eat something to live. Though creatures of different worlds, they are not such deviant beings of common sense that inexhaustible vitality springs up. If he is the Imperial Demon, he must secure his bait somewhere, and there must be creatures to feed him.

Or maybe there's another entrance and exit, from there into and out of the ruins. Neither was there any possibility of nesting inside the ruins and using the exterior as a hunting ground.

"Okay, let's go straight ahead"

"Is that true?

"Oh. First, find out who it is, and if it is the Imperial Devil, ask the Setuna to eliminate it. By doing so, we need to ensure the safety of future investigations."

"I see."

"Get Miliu ready, too."

"Okay."

Miliu began to cast a spell quietly as he meditated on one eye. Her beautiful voice spinning technique is still like a song in an ancient language, echoing the labyrinth of vast and immense ruins in multiple ways.

Sheila has a Heart of Beast on her back, and Lem's weapon can be removed at any time. No weapon is needed for Urk.

Thirteen Knights, Wolk, who damaged his body in the battle against Maxwell-Alkiel, was to accompany this investigation because, of course, Ein proposed to Midgard-Waharam. Midgard reluctantly accompanied her to the investigation team, partly because of her inability to repair perfectly the damaged area of Urk's body, but she had no choice but to allow it because she wanted it herself. Urk's primary concern is to keep Setsuna safe.

It seems Urk is wearing Black Beast Squad uniforms, thereby concealing damaged areas. The equipment Midgard brought to Gandhia is not enough to repair her body perfectly. Sometimes, Midgard says he intends to return to the Kingdom of Holy Deal once and for all.

"That's what happened, and I decided to ask you about Urk's selfishness."

is the talk of Midgard.

Midgard's return to the country to repair Urk's body means Urk himself must return. Deal is far away. It will take months from Gandia to Deal territory, and from there to his laboratory, he said, it will take several more months. Then it is unclear how long it will take to repair it, and if we can come back to Gandia, it will be over a year away.

I don't see him for a year.

Midgard's kindness made her admit to accompanying the fact-finding team, which should also be called selfishness.

Does Urk understand such Midgard's mood?

As Will-Weed wished, going straight down the crossroads, he eventually recognized that Setuna's hearing had a wide space ahead. Space at the end of the aisle. I can tell from the sound echoes that it doesn't seem to be the end of the line. And also find out that there is something in that vast space, prompting Milius and the others to be vigilant.

"What would you do if something was anything other than the Imperial Devil?

"Well, that depends on how they get out."

Setsuna said the obvious.

"If he's attacked us, we'll have to take him down"

"On the contrary, if there's room for negotiation, we'll discuss it."

"That sort of thing. So, that's okay, right?

"Yeah, yeah. Right."

"Well, I don't even think there's a creature that's negotiable."

This is a site that has been buried underground for hundreds of years - no, long before that. It is unlikely that creatures such as those lurking in such a place will be able to negotiate with humans without limits. No matter, none of them are. Iles Valle is a world of mystery and fantasy. Summoning magic exists, there is a God, there is a demon. It's a world with descendants of giants and dragons that solve human language. Even if a race existed with underground ruins as dwellings and understanding humanities, I couldn't imagine it strange.

No matter what, it's not surprising in this world.

Most importantly, Setuna's vision was captured just ahead of the aisle, nothing like that, it was just an Imperial Demon. There are four eye holes in the face on the body reminiscent of a four-legged beast, and red light leaks out of the eye hole. At the tip of the four hands and feet are grown claws like twigs, with protrusions on the back.

Bleak.

Typical of a small Imperial Demon.

Setuna, summoned to the Forest of the Apostles, was the first monster to fight.

"Bleek."

"Oh, my God, you're just an Imperial Demon"

"Wouldn't that be nice? I don't know. Not a creature."

"Exactly."

To Sheila's words, all but a little that Rem nodded forcefully.

"Contact is just around the corner"

"You can see me, too."

"They noticed us, too."

"Naturally."

I nod as the Bleaks began to be vigilant at the same time.

The Imperial Demon has better sight, smell and hearing than man, whatever the difference in size from species to species. I guess some species have imperial demons with the ability not to exaggerate when it comes to equivalence with human beings enhanced by summoning armies. No, even though it's rooted in this world, it's a creature that's been distracted from the other world. It is no surprise that he had comparable capabilities to the armored subpoena of the other world.

"Take care of yourself"

"Oh, I don't want you to underestimate us."

Sheila followed suit as Miliu grinned mightily as she looked back at Will, who had been speaking out of concern.

"Yes, because he's still a fierce defector of the Demon King's Army."

"That's not what this is about."

Will-Weed, by the way, was cold sweating at the reaction of the Milliws.

"The ruins are important, so I'd like to ask you not to hurt them as much as possible."

"I see..."

"Well... that's a hard order"

"Well, don't use your abilities. Don't use a wave cannon, either."

Copy that, sir.

Urk's reaction is petty.

"All right, let's go"

Setsuna kicked the floor and flew.

Reaching the hall in one step, he swirled a black spear in anticipation of the monsters attacking him in unison as he jumped into the middle of a flock of bleaks. A whirlwind of slashing occurs and countless interrupters rise. Dozens of Imperial Demons instantly became just a meat mass, scattered with blood and body fluids.

Setuna watched Miloo rip off a few bleaks at Laversoul in choking blood smoke, Sheila's Heart of Beast pierced the Emperor's Devil's skull, and Lem's “Reaper” clamped the bleaks he tried to thundershot with a single haircut, and Urk kicked the bleaks and smashed them.

The bleak that was nesting in the hall was just so wiped out.

Setuna and the others stood in the stench of death and looked at each other in the face.

"Something's missing."

"Totally."

I indicated my agreement to Sheila's words and waited for Will and the members of the investigation team to arrive.

Most importantly, Setuna's hearing captured a different sound and did not mean that it was completely safe.

The ruins still seemed deep.
