Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

- Well, the tactical meeting was over, and we were on alert first.

It's our job now to preserve our health and magic and keep our condition at its best.

The assigned rooms are comfortable because they are designed for people on the ground. Accommodation rooms and departure points are adjacent. We can bring in the crystal board and rest while watching the abominations.

A warm meal also leads to morale. Build simple kitchens and cook. We're all eating stew, resting, waiting, and continuing our surveillance mission.

During the meal, Ilmhilt played a curse to enhance the rest effect on the other side of the monitor, and Rivera and Serafina were singing alongside each other.

If you want to support Steven, Raimey, and Genlay, don't chorus with Calcedonnay, Citria, Yura, Princess Lynn, or join the concert.

"I'm glad to see Calcedonnay and Citria singing like that."

We're growing, too.

Yeah, music is fun.

Calcedonnay and Citria nodded at Steven's thoughts.

Is it a curse? It seems to be working for us too. "

"Sure, I feel like there's power coming."

Trubit and Navel say.

"There are parts of Dortelm that are close to spirits."

"Kagura feels good even for monsters."

When I say so, Raymond agrees.

"First of all, when it comes to rest, it doesn't seem to be a problem in the environment we've built. I'll let them know that this expansion is going well."

King Dortorius will tell us the status quo.

Troop deployments. Preparations on the Dortelm Kingdom's side, including the distribution of weapons and supplies, are proceeding apace. The troops on the move who could not be followed by the Transfer Magic Squad are steadily arriving on the front lines.

Dortelm's warriors are able to operate with heat and environmental magic without food like us, so they need less supplies and deploy troops quickly.

Some of the units that arrived later were equipped with elite and state-of-the-art magic spears outside the transport unit.

"There are magic stacks in the kingdom that have been summoned to fight dangerous monsters."

Navel explained to me the samurai who arrived later.

"Hmm. If you were smart, you'd be on a different assignment in normal times."

Is your power okay?

King Leandro says Stefania leans her neck and asks. Navel nodded quietly and replied.

"That's right. It's also a routine crusade, and we still have defense facilities near the Magic Pile."

"There's a common ground method around here. I may have stepped on it in the past."

And King Tolbit and King Dortorius answered.

I see. Everything but the abominations seems to be fine for now. I usually take measures against magic accumulation, and if it is stopped by temporary measures, it will not be a major problem.

"Hmm. First of all, let's get you into a nap."

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Eventually, the post-meal break and the curse ended, and Tesdiros and the others took a break first. I can't bathe, but if I use the magic instrument of purification, there is no problem with hygiene.

Therefore, it is arranged to take a nap from the refreshing side in turn and watch the situation together with the tears.

Mother, Parthenilla and Serafina will also be watching the monitor, so I can be relieved... there is a possibility that they will move beyond our expectations. I've never been more vigilant than to keep it somewhat alert.

The change occurred around the time when my nap time was about to end.

Wake up with the alarm of the Tears. When I get out of my sleeping bag and wake up to check the situation, my moms nod at me with the tears shaking the manipulator towards me.

"Good morning. There seems to be movement in the abominations."

"Good morning. I'll see you soon."

Nod to your mother's words and dress yourself across the partition. The people who were taking a nap at the same time as me seem to be awake.

Cadocius was watching my monitor while I was asleep, so I'm going to ask him to share my memories immediately after the change with me via the five senses link.

The memory is that the fruit that has become a giant tree falls at once. Until then, there had been more and more abominations at a certain pace... and it seemed like they were ready for the offensive.

The abominations of black fruit, large and small, as soon as they stood up, they lined up in a straight line toward the fortress that followed this side.

Troops of ancient creatures, large and small, line up based on something more unified than a trained army. The behavior of the scouts in front of our fortress is the same and clearly different from that of nature.

And while I was dressing up, I was told to be vigilant because things were going on with the soldiers and magicians in Dortelm.

Doubling the speed of playback of past memories keeps up with real-time footage while dressing up. Moving to the front of the crystal plate, the situation was changing again.

The situation is such that the branches of the giant tree that have dropped fruit break from the end and pour down. The thick trunks were also filled, and the giant trees began to collapse before we could see them.

"Because you've finished your role,"

"Maybe."

Nod at Parthenilla's words. The person who had buried half his body in the top of the giant tree also showed movement. Spread your wings with the collapse of the trunk - cross your arms in front of you and come out of the giant tree to fold your feet.

As the pieces of giant trees poured down like rain, they slowly descended into the center of the square. There are pieces like pointed armor on the waist and knees.

What surprised me a little was that the moment the human form came down, the abominable things in the visible range drooped their heads.

"I thought the whole consciousness was like a unified group. Is it really social like an ant or...."

The shards of a fully collapsed giant tree turn into an amorphous black liquid and merge. When the human shape holds its hand above its head, the black liquid gathers behind it in a whirlpool of hollow spots to shape the sphere.

That's him. I don't know what role this human form plays among the abominations, but it doesn't seem to fit in the frame of just a new or a different species.

"... you're still quite different. I don't think there are multiple bodies in this state. What if we called this the monarch of the abominations?"

King Dortorius looked at the monitor and said. That's right... First of all, the good news is that it doesn't seem like there are many identities.

So, the monarchs of the abominations stretched out their fingers to point to the side of our fortress. After that, the abominations begin to move at once.

... are you coming? Let the Explorer follow their movements... especially those of the monarch. I'm pretty careful not to find it, but it's a big magic, so I should be able to locate it even if it's far away.

In any case, there is no doubt that the abominable things really moved out. The enemy has started marching, and the movement of the personnel who remained at the alert level is also apparently in a hurry.

If it's a defensive battle... we'll just have to deal with it as originally envisioned. Let's deal with it with enthusiasm.
