Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 1574. Ground veins and magical paths.

Perform man-paid surgery, and place tears to monitor and maintain mid-points. The magical creatures aren't the target of the worm's predation.

"Lord Thiers has an honest personality."

Navell was greeting the Tiers too, but he nodded well with a bow that leaned towards him.

The species of Navel is still unclear, but it seems to be close to some of the magical creatures. Maybe the tears have a feeling of intimacy.

"Thank you for waiting."

When she told Navel that she was ready, she nodded her eyes towards us.

That's right. Shall we come? "

That's how Navel starts moving. I wondered if I'd started walking around a bit, and I expanded my magic circle.

It's kind of floating off the ground. Because it is a small body, I wondered what it would be like to travel long distances, but it will be shaped tomorrow.

From the magic wavelengths I feel... it seems to have the effect of interfering with the ground. It feels like a unique type of surgical technique that lives underground.

Navel headed straight for the crack. I checked it lightly from the top a while ago, and I didn't see any unusual magical or life reactions, but if I looked at it in detail, I think there might be something.

"Lord Navel came from the crack side."

"That's right. There's a passage in the shadow of the rock."

He spearheads us as he answers Osgrive's words.

Moving around behind the floating Navel... there was a slightly raised rock in the middle of the cliff, and the horizontal hole was hidden in the shade so that it could not be seen from above. Even if you have a light source, it is shady, and the horizontal hole also continues to bypass the entrance part, so it is difficult to notice that it continues behind when you look at it normally.

It's a place that looks like a natural horizontal hole... but it's not particularly magical. Does it seem to be inclined slightly downwards, and will it go further downwards?

"It seems difficult to notice, but the hole itself is quite large."

"In our case, there's a big difference in ethnicity."

I see, so that we can accommodate the general physique. Corliss and Amber are also large enough to advance without diving into walls or floors. Still, it's a little cramped, so I don't know if I'd let my body dive about half.

The formation is almost the same as up to here. With the Byron out and the Rutgers added, there was a slight change in the queue.

Rutgers have a lot of combat experience, so I'm sure they'll move accordingly wherever they are in the line. As a mortal, he wants to be in a position to fight, so he's just ahead of the Byron.

As you go through the ramped passage of the large cavity, you can see the light ahead.

I went to the open place again. It's a spacious cavity. There is a balcony-like scaffold at the height of the shoreline, and the bottom is bright.

Looking down from above... the magma buildup was spreading under my eyes. From the bottom, it also conveys a faint heat. No, but this is...

"It's not natural lava... Does enthusiasm perhaps just make you feel that way artificially?

"To the boulder... you'll understand at a glance. Yes, it's a fake."

Navel nodded.

A strange magical reaction to the whole lava. Something seems to be planting under our scaffolding. No one will go all the way through the big cavity and descend this open space toward the magma reservoir. I think it's a good disguise. If you can sense the magic reaction, you can also understand that it is somewhat unnatural. As for the heat, it seems to be borrowing the power of the Spirit of Fire, so it may be a little difficult to understand the opposite of Spirit Use.

So, it's going to be like going down there?

"That's what happens. There's no danger, but it still looks like there's a sense of avoidance."

Navel nods to the samurai's questions. Yeah, that's right. Even if the boulder is known to be a fake, it would be uncomfortable for the escort to suddenly ask King Leandle to proceed to that place.

"Let's try it before we go down. I can handle it even if it's real."

The heat blocking technique was also trained in the battle against Xavion and Alberinde.

Slowly descending with Navel. The heat suddenly broke off on the way down. The red-hot lava... doesn't heat up when I stand up.

"What is it? Does it feel like it emits a slimy object that looks like lava?

It feels pretty elastic and firm, so even if you stand up, you can't sink.

Jingjiu remembers that sudden deformation like water-soluble chestnut powder behaves like a solid object, while slow movement has the characteristic of acting like a liquid as a ditalant fluid, but it seems a little different from that.

In the case of this slime, it is a viscous fluid like lava, but standing on it feels like it is hardening. Is it not an impact, but a cure against the pressure in general?

"Yes, it's quite efficient because it uses environmental magic to maintain itself. It's a disguise, but also a target for getting off the magic path."

I do feel the magic of the land with the magic of the camouflage slime.

"This is where the veins are placed."

"That's right. It is possible to use the ground vein to open a magical path and travel to various places along it. It's the first time someone with a license will be able to use it, so knowing the information doesn't mean you can use it."

Magic Path. Instead of a transfer gate format, it enters a special space... a wormhole voyage in the so-called SF.

Navel said that he had been flushed here while dropping his level of consciousness, but there was a flow in the magic path itself... probably moving along the veins of the earth, and that's probably why he needed to travel everywhere like a station.

Besides, even if the problems that are happening and the threats that are rising are monsters and evil spirits, they can't move in the same way as Navel.

It's unlikely that Navel's people will suddenly be attacked by their home base. It seems convenient for Navel to evacuate like that, and that would be good information.

We'll have everyone come down after we've checked the safety. The disguised magma reservoir is quite spacious and there's plenty of room for everyone to get off.

"Something interesting inside, this one. It looks real but it's not hot at all."

Oldia touches the slime and says. Everyone also checked the feet of the fake slime a little bit strangely.

Well then, shall we come? Ladies and gentlemen, it would be helpful if you could come closer. "

Everyone nodded at Navel's words and gathered around him. As Navel unfolded his magic circle, a hole opened up in his feet that led to the magic path.

Inside the magic path - it seems to be a space that emits blurry, pale light.

"There should be no problem with breathing or anything. If you just relax, you'll be fine."

"This is an incredible experience."

King Leandle smiles happily. That's how we entered the Magic Path with Navel.
