"Empty... fragments?"
Something like a fragment of a mirror reflecting the colour of the sky fell down on Tenji's head.
Not one or two of them, but countless fragments falling from the sky like powdery snow.
It was a tenge that I suddenly reached out to pick it up, but I couldn't touch the shard.I thought I was looking at it in a hallucination because I was tired, and I rubbed my eyes several times.
Looking at the state of Tenji like that, Reimay, who was beside her, muttered to herself.
"The dungeon will collapse."
The dungeon closure phenomenon, as it is called, has been observed several times in history.
It is not certain what triggered the occurrence.When I reached a certain point, when I defeated a powerful monster, and when I acquired an item, the dungeon closure phenomenon was observed due to many factors.
And Ursula = Limei once defeated monsters with her own hands and caused a dungeon closure phenomenon.And the exact same phenomenon was happening right now in front of my eyes.
"No, what do we do with this, baba?"
That's when it happened.
Leon walked in with his hand in his pocket from a distance, scratching his head with a disgusting expression.Kanae Rion was also one of the few explorers who experienced the dungeon closure phenomenon.
"How dare you show me that ugly face in front of me, rubbish scum!"
"Is that what you're saying?"Think about the situation, damn it, baba. "
What? Are you selling quarrels?
"Hey, please stop both of you!"
Tenji rushed to stop Principal Limey and Leon, who began to scatter sparks.Even so, Tenji physically stopped both of them using the Snow Devil and the Flame Devil.
"That's not the case, Mr. Leon!"What the hell is this!? "
Ahhh!? Let go of me!
Let go of me, I'll spank your little brain like an ostrich
The two of them wouldn't listen to Tenji's intermediary.
Tenji, who had heard from President Limay before that he hated Leon, moved his mouth about what to do.
That's when it happened.
“What are you doing? I don't think so.
"Yes, please stop that ugly quarrel."
The two other Zero Explorers, Orbraka and Jay, were in between us.
Leon and Li Mei, who had finally calmed down a little after the two intervened, looked up at the sky, tonguing unhappily.
With that, Leon opens his mouth.
"The dungeon closure phenomenon lasts for a minimum of 30 days."This is the 75th hierarchy, so in a day, about 2.5 hierarchies will disappear from the bottom. "
"As usual, when you calm down, you're still creepy."
"Shut up, Orbraka. There are only ordinary people above the five levels here, so even if you think calmly, there is a 28-day grace period.Isn't that right, Baba? "
Based on Leon's sober analysis, Principal Limei shook his head vertically.
It's the shortest observation I've ever made, but-
"Oh, that's what I was thinking."Maybe, but this place is closing sooner. "
Strangely, the two of them were in agreement.
More than the dungeon closure phenomenon they had experienced before, the phenomenon in front of them now seemed to be happening at a much accelerated rate.
"My instinct is for about 10 days. That's the deadline."
"I don't like it, but I agree."
"There's no human life at stake, the evacuation of the inhabitants has already begun."The rest are just personal property issues that seem troublesome. "
"That's a quick story." Let's do each one, we don't have time. "
Majorca Resort Dungeon was the only dungeon in the world where people could live.Ten days till that complete collapse.
The professional Explorers, who had just finished a fierce battle, had no time to rest.
Principal Limei quickly finished the story and began to give instructions to the Explorers who remained in this 75th tier.To save everything from the dungeon that started this collapse.
† † †
"Anyway... is that your hidden child?"
After Principal Limei was gone, Orbraka suddenly asked Leon.At the end of his gaze, there was a figure of Tenji sitting on the ground.
However, no matter where I looked, I didn't think there was a blood connection between the two.One side is arrogant, free and perverted, and the other side is a refreshing and gentle boy wearing a clean uniform.
When she noticed it, Orbraka laughed with her nose.
"Hmph, no, it's not. It's too similar."
"From my genes, only beautiful girls are born."
"You're paranoid." So, who are you really? "
Orbracha and Jay and the two Explorers gaze toward Tenji.
Of course Tenji knows the two of them.That's what I've seen on videos many times, and it's in textbooks, and it's the real explorer we all admire.
Her chest roared with joy.
At that time, Leon said while scratching his head in trouble.
"I don't care about these guys, they should be able to help us." Tell him. "
"Um, uh, I..."
When Tenji said the words, he stopped saying the following words.
For a moment, my sight was blacked out, and the dazzle attacked me.Even if you reflexively put your hands on the ground and prevent them from falling down, the unpleasant cold sweat gushes out from your body.
"Hey, what's up?"
You can hear Orbraka's gentle voice.
But I couldn't afford the current tenge to react to that voice.
(... cold, hot, cold)
Even though the cold comes out of my skin, the unusual heat comes in from inside my body.So Tenji finally realized what was beginning to happen.
(This is... the price. Right, now.All right. Ibuko, let's accept it. Boil it, bake it, and like it.)
Tenji, prepared for the hell that would happen from now on, smiled thinly.
I knew that someday I would come.Whether it's a few seconds or a few minutes.When it came, I knew that there was not much I could do now.
So Tenji made up his mind.
No matter what comes our way, we'll survive whatever comes our way.
Kuhihi
The next moment I heard that voice.
The Hellfire that was sleeping in his body begins to rage.
”Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
Perforations, ear holes, between nails, etc.A flame gushes out from every gap.The Hellfire, which was burning up from within, was scorching Tenji's body over and over.And when it is burnt and carbonized, the area is instantly regenerated.
The continuum of torture and regeneration.
Such a "price" has begun.
I don't know how long this pain will last.
However, Tenji had a feeling that something would change as a result of this.
"Hey, hey!? What's wrong!?"
Suddenly, Aubraka tries to reach out to Tenji.
However, Tenji returned his sharp gaze with burnt-out eyes as he skipped his consciousness over and over again.
”Zu... don't touch me, guggle”
Perhaps the will of Tenji had been conveyed, and the Flame Demon gently approached.
Then, without being instructed, he gently hugged Tenji's body and returned the words to the Orbacca who tried to reach out.
"We are the only ones who can touch this flame.I'll take care of the rest. ”
Leaving those words behind, the flaming demons turned their backs to the three of them.
I don't know what it was, but the three of them could only look at Tenji's back with such a flaming demon.
(Thank you, Flaming Demon)
“We'll take care of the rest.No matter what you do, you won't let me kill you.We need a new king. ”
The flame demon and Tenji had moved to a different hierarchy.
