To determine the strength of a monster, just look at the color of your eyes.

This is common sense for Explorers.

The eyes of a Grade 5 monster are purple, Grade 4 is blue, Grade 3 is green, Grade 2 is yellow, Grade 1 is red, and Grade 0 is red purple.

If the Explorer fights monsters one-on-one, it's basic to confront a monster of the same level. If there are two or more monsters of the same rank, the Association recommends escape.

If you see monsters that are two or more grades higher than your Explorer level, choose the death of your allies and run, as the Association says.

"A semi-premium monster?

The voice of the right castle's unreceived reality echoes in this quiet place.

Everyone here understood the weight of the word.

Chariot's regular members hold the highest Explorer rank in this raid.

The reason why the Five Paths have a second level of vocation but lower their rank as Explorers to the third level is because they are not pure combat vocations.

In short, all Explorers here have two lower ranks than monsters.

If you believe the words of the association, you should escape with sacrifices.

But it was clear to everyone in this situation that it could not be done.

Well, what do you want to do? Masaki-san, there's no escape. "

"Oh, I know. There's nothing we can do... we're ready to die and we have to fight."

All we have to do is follow the leader's words.

That's the only way to live.

Right castle, team up with the lady and shoot. If you can't shoot me, I'll have to tail you. Take it easy. "

"... a tail cut? Okay, I'll make the best shot."

"Until then, everyone's gonna mess with him. What, the numbers are better this way. It's hard for a semi-premium. What?

And Five Paths said so, and stopped speech there.

No, I didn't know what to do except stop it.

"Grouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Another monster appeared behind a semi-premium spider-shaped monster.

The brunette hairline that seems to inhale everything is loosely upside-down, and three necks grow from the size of a cow that is large enough not to take a spider-shaped monster and a drawer.

A cold cry like intimidation leaked out, and a black murmur was pouring out from my mouth as if I was breathing.

The mouth has two canine teeth that are so large that they can be instantly killed with a single bite, and the birdskin can't stop just seeing the heterogeneity.

Behind the black fur layers were two divinely red and shining eyes.

Red eyes.

It meant being a genuine, first-class monster.

"Ugh, that's a lie... no way. No way...."

Everyone heard someone's wolf voice.

And no one else nodded at the words.

"B, Black Keloverus, right? Oh, hey!? Somebody answer me!

The young man shouted a little louder for an answer.

That was the only action that hindered Black Queroberos.

Glowwwwww!

Black Queroberos simply opened his mouth wide with a natural movement.

In his mouth, a black cymbal was swirling in a spherical shape, and it was directed to the young explorer, a quaternary explorer elsewhere who was not a regular member of Chariot, Uota Kai.

"Hih!?

That was his last word.

The moment I looked inside Black Keroberos' mouth, a very fine laser jumped out of the black sphere and penetrated his brain as if it were a needle.

When I noticed, there was a hole about ten yen between his eyebrows.

The other Explorers could only see what was happening.

I forgot to breathe, I forgot to blink, I forgot I was myself.

I was just thinking about how to survive the enemy in front of me.

Everyone stood up without a step from the scene.

It was then.

Glowwwww!

"Xhhhhhhhh!"

The monsters started a fight.

Black Keroberos jumped on the spot to bite first, and a spider-shaped monster threatened the four legs to counter it.

The Five Ways could not have missed that moment.

"Now! Run! You'll survive whatever you do!

The words had the effect of the skill "language inspiration", which almost forced everyone's rigidity to melt.

Everyone died of madness and changed their blood phase, turning their backs on the monsters and rushing to the invisible path ahead.

At this time, everyone was thinking only of themselves.

No one could afford to look around.

Yes, even Goto Masaki was full of himself, and couldn't afford to worry about just carrying luggage.

What?

Tenge's blatant voice echoed.

Tenge turned back with the instructions of the Five Ways and ran at his full speed.

Soon, however, the three students were overtaken by professional explorers.

Because if you are not a natural person, your original local power will be as different as heaven and earth.

Inevitably, there were three students at the end.

Aika Asami did not look behind because she had been instructed by the Five Ways to hold a bag as her ex-baggage at the place closest to the escape route.

No, nobody could afford to worry about it at this time.

The real rear runners were Tenji and Inagaki.

Tiredness was carrying two bags that were part of the tenge at the direction of the five roads, and the tenge was still wrapped around the body with threads and could not run well.

Still running desperately.

At that time, the tiredness bumped into the tenge.

The tenge suddenly received tackles from the side, and the thread was sometimes entangled throughout the body, and the legs were naturally entangled and one fell.

Tiredness looked down on the condition with cold eyes.

(I'm sorry, Tenjo. As my uncle said, I need a tail cut now.)

Tail cut.

It is a slang used among Explorers and one of the cruel means quoted from "lizard tail-cutting".

I mean, they needed sacrifices to survive.

This is a countermeasure to monster habits and makes sense to me unexpectedly.

American universities have published research on why monsters attack humans to strengthen themselves by eating them all.

Its credibility is very high, and if you fall into a situation where you have to escape, leaving one living person behind makes monsters act like they spend their time eating.

It is said that you must be a living human being because it is more efficient to become stronger.

Therefore, Inagaki decided to repair and sacrifice the most worthy man in this raid.

For tired people, it was a person carrying luggage called Noriji Tenjo.

There's not enough food left, and there's no use distributing it to people who can't fight.

Besides, even unique abilities don't help, and anyone can play the role of carrying luggage.

That's what I'm talking about.

Tired thought so.

As a result, Noriji Tenjo decided that it was appropriate to sacrifice on this occasion.

Though I felt sorry for myself, Tiredness looked down on Tenge with surprisingly cold eyes.

With the momentum of falling as he ran, the tenge rolled over the uneven ground of the dungeon and stopped when he hit his head hard.

Eh, wait a minute...

Not knowing what had happened, Tenge hurried to the ground and tried to get up.

So I finally noticed Tenge.

(... did I just roll over to Inagaki?

I noticed the fact that Tenge's brain was in a mess.

It's as if the thoughts of the two threads that can no longer be solved are intricately intertwined, so that it becomes a matter of what you are thinking.

Still, he raised one knee as he tried to escape and get up naturally.

But it was already too late.

"Grouuuuuuuuuuu"

I could hear him from about a thin piece of skin on the back of my head.

Tenge's body was too frightened and completely stiff to move.

In my will, I told my body over and over again, "Move, move, move, move," but my muscles were stretched, my feet couldn't get off the ground, and I was afraid to breathe.

The faces of the eight dead Explorers stick out of my head.

I can't forget his last face, penetrated by the sky.

Now I know it's my turn.

"Grouuuuuuuuuu"

The only sound I could hear in Tenge's ear was a faint, faint, black-cerovelous walk.

And at the edge of Tenge's vision... no, there was a black kerobellus face right next to it.

Black Queroberos immediately peered into the face of the tenge and began to circle around as if he were measuring the food.

I was asexually afraid of the sound of a twitching, twitching bloodbath.

I knew this blood was his blood pierced through the sky, but the next time I thought it was my turn to make this blood pond, the cold didn't stop.

And...

Perfectly, Black Keroberos stopped in front of the tenge.

Glowwwwwww!

A big, black mouth opens wide, and two teeth that are likely to penetrate easily, such as the belly, come out.

It bit into the flank of the tenge.

"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
