Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Fly from the stone tablet at the labyrinth entrance to Fort Hot Castle.

It was felt that the kind of enthusiasm inherent in it was not a great deal thanks to the blessings of Tefra. Thankful story. This would also allow the offense to proceed carefully.

Continuing with the last time, it will be an attack from the hall just past the castle gate by knocking down the gatekeeper.

There is a maze down the stairs leading from the hall. Ultimately, you can get out into the courtyard in the castle, from where you can finally enter the Castle Fort Honmaru.

In short, you need to step through the maze underground to get inside the castle fort. The route of the maze is unpredictable due to structural changes. I just want to get through this maze today.

"Well, let's go. Instant shielding if you feel anything unusual."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

Sheila, who is a scoundrel, naturally, everyone snorts.

Down the spiral staircase and opened the door, a stoned corridor continued.

That's a big percentage. Just down the stairs, you can see a narrow passage continuing on the left hand side.

Before trying to start exploring - Lavine looked behind the aisle and roared. Countless red glows coming this way from the darkness.

"That's... that's a hellhound"

The identity of brilliance is the eye of the creature. He comes this way as he sprays fire out of his mouth... it was a four-legged beast. The figure is a black dog. Skew your face and strip your fangs - a fierce face.

"I'm coming."

Me and Grace, Sheila and Ignis jump out for an interception.

Cut ahead and go in. The blurred red emission of stone, which was nestled on the right hand side of the corridor, as it passed through a point in the aisle, was reflected at the edge of the sight.

"Passageway right! Bomrock!"

At the same time, the voice of Illumhilt sounds.

Illumhilt's voice was heard from the direction where Bomrock was. Serafina shifted the sound in the direction of Illumhilt's fingers. The next moment, an axe was thrown from Grace's hand.

Roar up and an axe hits Bomrock straight. The sound of the stone crushing and the sound of pulling the chain back sounds.

Bomblock doesn't explode when you make an attack. Sometimes Grace crushed it with one blow, but because it is a demon of the nature of bursting and scattering blasts and fragments where the other reaches its limit.

What's troubling is that the building materials are camouflaged by natural products in this way, and they won't be discernible until they move. Nevertheless, I ended up underdeveloped. If it can be discovered and processed before it explodes, that would be ideal as a response.

No eyes on the crushed bomb lock, intercepting a hellhound coming from the front. Hellhounds also jumped when I jumped in. Ask them to stand up to shake out the sparkling uro, which turns up the spark light, and they'll show the uro how to bite it and stop it. One more behind the hellhound. I guess one holds down the weapon, and in the meantime, the successor sets up an attack.

But sweet. Stopped in the air with sudden braking with shields and levitation. He moves instantly to bounce downward, poking his belly up with a uroborous from just below a hellhound that hits his fangs vainly.

"Icicle lance!"

Ice spears pop out of the tip of the dragon wand to stop the hellhound from sewing in the air. The next one was untimely enough to let the flaming exhale, and Nemea scratched it with her nails.

Grace, Sheila and Ignis also stick into the herd.

With the fur of Firerat and the blessing of Tefra, Grace penetrates without even having the flame to be bathed as an object. Only the hellhounds, who were turned into two pieces after the violet-like residual light passed, emitted the glow of the struggle from the axe.

Wall to ceiling, ceiling to pillar. Sheila moving in 3D while changing orbit in the air. Only the sound of a fang-banging noise echoes vainly at that motion that plunders the tip of the nose. Flames scorch a space of nothing.

Adhesive threads and thunder strikes from unexpected directions. Ignis bursts into the hellhounds who were removed from the attack, or whose movements were inhibited and filled with gaps, and the blow of the hammer roars and blows away.

Still, the hellhounds' movements were not disrupted. We'll be hit by the avant-garde. A bunch of hellhounds running through the rear guard, blind to our comrades. Obviously, a movement controlled by someone.

I guess the distance is wide open with the avant-garde and the rear guard and it looks full of gaps - there's a reason there's no middle guard itself.

The moment Hellhound, who was running the lead, stepped into that space, his body was mutilated, and he bled and screamed. From the columns of the corridor to the columns, a line of light runs. It's a trap by magic thread, set up by releasing a Magic Slave.

"Too bad"

Rosemary, who saw it in a remote position, laughs thinly under the feather fan.

The Hellhounds stopped instantly when they saw their fellow trapped. The dogs aren't reacting badly... but being in that space already is like being in a trap in itself.

"Now!"

Along with Ashley's voice, Mallane's saucer, which was lagging above the corridor, turns off the exit route. Where the progression was cramped, the ice bullets of Ashley and Lavine, the arrows of Illumhilt light and the sound bullets of Serafina poured down with rain. Dimensions are that flowballs do not fly to the avant-garde because the distance is wide enough.

Durahan, Cadkeus and Lavine refrain from serving as escorts to the rear guards. It is also as usual for Claudia to be ready to retreat with metastatic magic.

Eclair was also part of the shooting. When the wings flap, the blades that discharge fly away. Whether avoiding the blade itself or side lightning, the thunderbolt had burst out of the blade and had been shot through with an arrow from the illumhilt where it had been electrically shocked. It's quite a nasty attack to avoid just the blades and have to deal with the lightning strike itself.

The dogs thrust into the rear guard quickly devastate - but I could see a second wave of hellhounds pushing from the darkness behind the aisle. Quite a few. Considered in conjunction with the first herd of hellhounds that have penetrated, this can be described as an unusual number.

Normally, it would be an occasion to retreat to the narrow passage to the left of the corridor and fight while not being surrounded... I don't like it. Because if that's the enemy's strategy, we should assume there's a trap set in that aisle. The herd of hellhounds coming from the rear must be managed even if we are to proceed to the aisle side.

"Go."

Stir a hellhound flying from left to right, wrapping a sufficient amount of magic around the valor that was stuck in my shoulder, causing it to plunge into the back of the aisle.

Slap the hellhound's skull with a uro while manipulating the valor and skewer it with ice. Fighting and magical exercise. Nemea and Capella. Simultaneous control of valor -.

Valor flies while we kick the hellhounds. While we're wrapping up this magic, we can make a visual link with Valor. As I jumped over the dogs' heads and passed the bend - I saw a bunch of them unfolding their magic formations while sitting Zen in the deepest part of the corridor.

Grey brown skin. Smooth head like an egg. Noseless face in white eyes with no pupils. A man-shaped demon wrapped around a borough cloth continues to chant indifferently.

Demons Summar, a magician-type demon with the ability to summon. They're subpoenaing a herd of Hellhounds.

Know the distance, the position. end to end of the aisle. Valor, transformed into a light bullet, fleshes to Demons Summaners. Leave it to momentum to shoot through the summoner's chest. Two, three, four in a row. When Valor opened his eyes after penetrating all the coordinates that the summoners were supposed to have, there were summoners rolling through his chest.

At the same time, a herd of hellhounds shudder their bodies to stop that movement. It would be that they suddenly cut off control of the summoner and detected an anomaly.

It's a huge gap. There's no reason to miss that. It didn't take long for the herd of Hellhounds to devastate.

"What do you say?"

Ask Sheila beside proceeding with the stripping.

Sheila shook her neck sideways as she carefully examined the narrow passage that was on her left hand side.

"Traps everywhere. Floor stones there, for example. A spear or an arrow from a hole in the wall... or a trick where poison smoke pops up."

Where Sheila pointed, there was only a few floor stones out and a hole in the wall.

... That's pretty bad in nature. I don't bother to find out who the trap is. There was another passage in the direction Demons Summaner was in, so it looks better to go that way.

"It's better not to bother going down the aisle to push you in a trap. There's a good chance he's being ambushed even if he walks through the aisle. Let's move in the direction where Demons Summaner was."

Copy that.

Sheila nods and stops peeking into the aisle to join the stripping operation. Burning Castle Fort is... there is something I can't be alarmed about even if I proceed with stripping. Because Bomrock could be lurking.

"You just want to know how to tell before Bomblock moves."

And, illumhilt. I know how you feel, but I shake your neck to the side. It doesn't smell like just stone demons, and there's no sound. Although Illumhilt can detect percentages quickly due to temperature changes... that might only be possible if there is a Tefra blessing too. I was wondering if Fort Hot Castle would also halve Illumhilt's ability to detect because of the high temperatures, but it's quite a delightful miscalculation.

Well, it emits light just before the explosion, so if you know you don't have to get around to it in a brawl, it'll be possible enough to put up a shield.

"I guess we'll just have to make sure we don't miss the signs before the explosion for now. Stripping shall also be carried out by sharing the watchman and the worker to be careful not to overlook changes in walls, floors and ceilings. Behind demonic corpses or something, pay particular attention"

"Okay."

When Illumhilt nods with a serious look, he approaches the stripping squad and circles his gaze without alarm.

Now. Peeling, Hellhounds can be recovered from fur, demonic stones of medium quality from bomlocks, and rarely gems.

In addition to the Demon Stone, Demons Summaner can capture the magic wand they used as a loot.

Hellhound fur is highly resistant to flames and is resistant to slaughter, so it would be quite expensive. The Demons Summaner wand should be something I don't need, but it's not so bad. I want to retrieve the Demon Stone as much as possible, given that it will also build an airship.

Let's just say it was a good fight for battle time.
