Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The abominations marching through the tunnel merge with their companions who were positioned to stop them on the way, and they move toward us with even more numbers.

The most abominable things will come through the tunnel.

Me, Navel, King Dortorius, and Parthenilla are moving to the control hub of the Seal Tower, connecting them to the launch post and the outside world.

The hub is a fundamental part of the seal tower. At the bottom of the pillar that penetrates the center, a sphere of jade-like texture that emits blurry light fits. Touch this to control the seal.

The launch pad is the launch pad, and there are also broadcast magic tools available to give orders to various places. It is a state where the situation can be viewed directly from the issuing station and control center to inform the whole situation and give instructions.

When it comes to our role to move to the center - Navel controls the seal. I'm activating the border. I'm not alone in triggering the Boundary, but the presence of the contractor and the witness can further enhance the effect.

"Is the enemy's current position around here? It's more horizontal than the top and bottom... and I think it expands as soon as I can see it from the fortress."

Expand the stereoscopic view reduced by illusion to present the approximate position and scale in terms of light. Looking at its scale, King Dortorius closes his eyes.

"It was dangerous to attack. If we combine the undercover with the collective in the hallway, we'll be swallowed by the enemy's belly."

"That's right. They must have reacted to the abominations while they were being held hostage. If we attack properly, at least before we get out of the aisle, we may have been sealed off and surrounded."

The Explorer knew the situation, so the Collective would have noticed if it had shown its movements, but in that case it would have had to fight while being pursued by the Collective... or break through before being surrounded. There is no doubt that it was a battle under severe circumstances.

If the formation is bad, I may have cut the hand of the Transfer Magic Team there and retreated with their vigilance raised. You were right to send the Explorer in first and look at the situation carefully.

As we watched the situation evolve... we saw a gradual increase in the sparkle of the central control as the abominable ones invaded and approached. Along with that, magical waves are emitted intermittently. At first, it was slow, but the interval became faster.

It resembles the forces of nature, but the feeling of restlessness spreads when you receive waves. I intuitively know it's a warning signal.

"The seal responds to approaching."

"That's right. It will let us know that we are approaching an alarming situation."

When Navel touches the control, the waves of intermittent warning signals become smaller. The feeling of restlessness disappeared, and the atmosphere became just a magical wave. It's probably because you can't do fine work in a restless situation, but you can still see that the wave spacing is shorter and the approach continues.

This sealing technique... is handy. It is conditional that I know the target of vigilance, but it seems to be good for application.

The fortress was already ready for interception, with tension and tranquillity. Even though it's quiet, it doesn't mean everyone is afraid, but it gives the impression that it's a war, but it's a death. This is to show us less combat power.

Those placed on the outer walls and defense towers are ready to mount their magic spears and intercept them at any time.

The light point indicating the position of the abominable things inside was getting closer and closer.

"Coming...! Prepare everyone!"

King Dortorius sounds everywhere through his magic equipment.

It came as everyone in the fortress watched. A black stain appears on the wall around the tunnel as if ink had been scratched. One, two. The black stains that were born all over the place quickly became countless and each one grew bigger.

It quickly became like I wanted to paint the whole wall with coal tar. From there, ancient creatures such as dragonflies and giant dragonflies burst out, flying into the air and swirling around.

The change extends to the ground in front of the tunnel. If you think it's changed like a dark black swamp, a swarm of fish dragons and ancient creatures begins to swim gently from there.

Looks like there's a huge hole around the tunnel. A swarm of dinosaurs, large and small, jumped out of the dark walls, leaving relatively large dinosaurs like Triceratops and Pakikephalosaurus rushing toward the fortress to penetrate the hall.

The moment they hit the sealed boundary - the dinosaurs unfolded a magic shield-like technique. Seals and shields hit, spreading pale sparks in the space. Following this, small dinosaurs and ancient creatures penetrate and attach to the seal.

At that moment, a black magic line tried to run in the seal that emitted blue and white light.

"Now! Let go!"

At the behest of King Dortorius, a flare shell was fired from the outer wall of the fortress and the left and right defense towers by a sniper magic spear.

The abominations - the big dinosaurs widened their shields and took over, exploding several times. When it is small enough to erode, it is a large division of roles that stretches the shield and protects the eroder with a large body.

But the next flare has already been fired. The next bullet was fired fast because the shooting squad had three people in one position. When the first shot was fired, the second one appeared in front of him, shooting a second shot of sufficient strength. The third line of firing squad also flew forward to replace those who had fired the second shot.

The third flare is fired like the first and second burns. At that time, the charging of the first magic spear was already over.

"This is..."

As far as I'm concerned, it's a sight that reminds me of the so-called Nagashina three-stage shooting. Even in the Kingdom of Dortelm, it seems that a method of warfare was devised to compensate for both the speed and power of long-range charges, but even though there is a difference between the Earth and the Lungards - and other species in the underground - I don't remember the surprise and intimacy that a similar method of warfare appeared.

If all the lightning shells had hit us directly, we would have shattered the shielded dinosaur with each shield. Simultaneous shooting with so much power and density.

But the abominations were not watched in silence. Because the flight-type abominations reacted immediately and moved to intercept the flare bomb.

The nature of the deployment technique is not unique to the abominable ones. Light shells flying through the seal intercept Dortelm's light shells.

Light bombs flying in two directions in the air collide and explode. It sounds like a burst of light in the air. The light bomb on the other side seems to specialize in explosions. The range is inferior to the range, so the streaming bullets do not seem to reach the fortress, but it is suitable for shooting down and attenuating the Doltelm side light bomb.

This is a sniper, a shield and an eroder, so the target is easy to understand. I can't help being intercepted - the Dortelm is better in number and power. Penetrating the blast and sparing the aftermath of the blast pressure, several light bombs have surely fallen on the shields and eroders.

That's why we have personnel specializing in long-range shooting and magic spears. This is what King Dortorius and the others thought of since Navel's last encroachment. Since there was not enough preparation time to do this at full level on this front line, we were considering lowering the front further backwards - but if there was a transfer magic team, it would be in time.

If these abominable things show a retreat - it would be effective to divide them in boundaries and launch a chase.

Nevertheless... I've sucked up the magic of the environment and set it up. I don't think we'll be able to retreat with this level of interception.
