Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Stand on top of the lake with a magic shield scaffolded. Now it's a journey around me and Valor in a hidden field... but there's no response from the monsters.

"Tell me if you have difficulty moving air combat equipment. Let's help by making a scaffold with smoke."

Osgrive says. There is also a depletion of magic. The drafters nodded heartily.

Instead of using the magic of those equipped instantly, we have a type that incorporates magic stones as a power source, so equipers can't move without depleting their accumulated magic until they exhaust it.

Well, everyone seems to be fine for now.

"Let's go to the drop point first. I was wondering if it would be better to look for lateral holes that are easy to see and move from there."

When I told her that, she nodded and moved.

Since the concealed field is unfolding, there is no problem if there is some noise. Rapid rescue is the key, and everyone seems to be moving agile even though it's not a very flashy move.

Osglive is also taking precautions to spread thin smoke in a lattice to cover us all, prevent attacks from up and down, and prevent falls.

Then they come directly below the empty collapsed part of the ceiling. I can see it crashing down the aisle. Using dark vision... you can see rocks sinking on the bottom of the lake.

From there, look around and lower the altitude to move to near the water surface.

"Can you see the horizontal hole from here?"

Tesdiros seems to be kneeling down, lowering his point of view even further and literally looking for a party. The same goes for Byron, Wimberg, and the drafters.

"Sure, there's a good side hole to evacuate."

"I glanced around, but I didn't see any life signs within sight. I wish I'd moved safely out of here."

While saying that, I'll keep an eye on the horizontal hole where it's easy to land and move there. There are about two possible candidates... but as they approached, Corliss and Amber reacted almost simultaneously.

"That's..."

A monster's body, huh?

It's a silhouette monster like Sunshouo in the water. Do not move while lying down in the shape of a horizontal hole. It doesn't seem to have any life signs...

As we get closer, the situation becomes clearer. The horizontal hole continued slightly upwards and still seemed to be in the back, but about four or five sunflowers were defeated.

It is quite large even though it is a sun shower, and its body length is likely to be about 2 to 3 meters. Because it is a species that lives in the underground lake, its body is pure white and its eyes look degraded.

Have you been chased from underwater and fought?

"Nh, there's a time difference in the condition of the remains."

That's Sheila's analysis. Yes, from the thirst for blood and so on.

"I wonder if the person I defeated is different. The old ones are shot with arrows and magic, but the new ones are knocked down with a sword."

The sword is more of a fighting spirit. I wonder if this is a rutgar?

I see. That would be a good fit. The first fallen adventurers fled here to defeat the sun shower they chased. Next, the Rutgers were attacked for rescue.

"Collis and Amber... seem to be injured."

According to Stephanie, Corliss nods "perhaps the smell of human blood" and is an amber that forms letters by earth.

It becomes a pressing air for such information....

"The amount of bleeding itself... doesn't seem like a big deal."

The blood stains were dry, but not that much. When I told them about it, everyone seemed a little relieved.

However, injuries in places like this are not something to be underestimated. It will be prepared with ruggers and adventurers, so even if it is not a cure ceremony, it is likely that first aid can be provided....

Either to see the further appearance of monsters, or to ensure the safety of the surroundings, or to secure a place for treatment and rest. I'm pretty sure it went deep into the horizontal hole.

"But the good news is that we've been able to evacuate at the moment. Even if there is an injured person, it is possible to move to ensure safety, and the condition of the injury is not so serious according to the information from here. I have some information I don't understand, but I have enough hope."

King Leandro said forcefully that the samurai were also in a good mood.

King Leandro's words will also reflect the morale of the rescue team. There are cases where strong energy is not good, but in this case, there is no problem and the analysis is actually accurate. Thinking about morale according to the situation is not a reference for me.

"Does the smell... go deeper?

When Petra asked, Corliss nodded.

"Alright, let's go deeper. It is highly likely that there are unknown monsters, and Korris - be very careful."

When I told him that, Collis nodded. It seemed to be communicating by bringing Amber and his face closer together and turning his nose to each other, but eventually he nodded and started moving.

Rearrange the queue to match it and resume the search.

"I still can't see any anomalies around spirits or the environment. Is the cause of the shake unknown?"

I wonder if there's a cause in the lower levels.

At my word, Rosemary seemed to be spinning her thoughts across the fan.

This is also an unexplored area, no different from monster territory. The magic is the same as when you entered the underground lake. There are things like quiet disconnections that indicate that there are no abnormalities but that they are not human territory.

The spirits aren't used to people either. There are many who do not approach actively.

It doesn't seem that I'm not interested, and I might be looking at this from the shadow. It's not like it's an evil spirit, so when I waved my hand lightly with a smile, I pulled my face back and looked at my face in a state of fear.

"Mmm-hmm. Even though I'm not used to people, it's not like I'm going to do harm."

Don't nod to me like that. I am neutral, but it is important to show that there is no hostility for now. If we get more access to this area in the future... at least it won't have a negative impact.

As you go through the horizontal hole, you enter a slightly convoluted space. There are various horizontal holes, big and small... so there's a lot of shade, so I don't want to stay here much longer.

... there's no problem tracking it. Before pursuing with the sense of smell, it left something like a landmark indicating the direction in which pebbles were piled up and moved, and there are only a limited number of horizontal holes suitable for people to move.

"I don't know if it's the idea of the adventurers or Sir Rutger, but it's a good idea."

"It's also a landmark for us."

Esnatura nodded with a smile at my words. Yeah, that's right. It is easier to understand which side it came from, making it easier for both the searcher and the person being searched to move. I suppose you're doing this because you're planning on rescuing us.

It seems to be moving by selecting the hole with the widest slope upwards... well, I'm aiming for the direction of the ground. It may be reasonable in the sense that we aim for a place where we can calm down even if we do not have to escape ourselves. It would also work on the psychology of wanting a little distance from the underground lake just after the monster attacked.

If you care so much, you're not going that far. If it is turned back, the landmark will have been collected and the direction is not wrong. If we keep going, we'll be able to find them from afar.
