Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Mm-hmm. Right there?

Auria's serving fire spirits burn down the upper body of the snowman who was about to strike in the shadow of the tree ice, wrapped in flames.

It would be the strength of spiritual users to be able to defeat each other extensively. Unlike the demon who uses it, it doesn't have a five-sense link, but it's completely autonomous, so it can share roles even in riot warfare, and it's hard to get surprise attacks from the rest of the party.

In Auria, where the Spirit was positioned around the defensive position and turned to the defense of the rear guard, several spirits were used to explore whether the enemy was hiding in the shadows and so on when the war situation prevailed.

After sweeping away the rest of the demons - the snowmen - at such a rate, the tranquility characteristic of the snowy place only spread later.

It would be a bright category of compartment in the labyrinth. The white, sumptuous ice and snow forest may be described as mysterious and beautiful inside.

Now, if we take down the demons, we'll move on to stripping them later, but it's going to be a lot of work with the first demons we meet.

"Let's start with the snowman."

"When I knocked him down, he became like normal snow. I was pretty tough when it was moving."

And Sheila says, fingering the snowman who stopped moving.

The defeated snowmen are not melting because of the cold surroundings... but they were shaped like loose bonds.

I know there are golems to play, etc., but in the case of these people, apparently some damage will result in the loss of control of the procedure to maintain the golem.

I guess it's a demon located in the class of miscellaneous soldiers in each compartment, so I don't think it's a good idea not to be durable... but what can you strip away?

"Mr. Theodore, I found something."

Illumhilt picks something up from among the snowmen melted by Flamia's fox fire. It was like a snow crystal.

"... I don't know. It's like you've turned up the snow crystals."

I'll take it from Illumhilt and take a closer look. It will be about the size of a palm. A replica that mimics snow crystals is the perfect shape.

When I touch it, it is calm and cold, and when I pass through the monocular glasses, it has magical powers. When I took it in my hand and gently added magic from this one, I let off the cold air from near the center of the crystal.

"... I wonder if we can cool the food or lower the room temperature by connecting it to the Demon Stone and supplying it with magic."

"Sounds pretty user-friendly."

I saw that. Rosemary narrows her eyes with pleasure as she hides her mouth with a feather fan.

"Right. Save yourself the trouble."

If you're going to make the same thing out of magic props, there's a lot of work to be done if you're going to carve the technique.

I don't know if it's durable, but I can prepare a number, like freezing food and transporting it over long distances, or attaching it to an ice chamber to increase cooling efficiency... I can think of many uses.

I try to extract the demon stone from the snowman who recovered the crystal plate just in case, but I could only get a small object. Demonic stone extraction is also possible from the crystal plate. This one comes from the fact that something of that size can be extracted... maybe this is also a part that serves as the nucleus of a snow golem.

Sounds interesting to me too to incorporate this and try to make a snow golem. In that case, it would mean creating a permanent golem with proper incorporation of demonic stones, rather than impromptu by the creative golem… well, whatever the use of crystal plates, the general policy was decided on stripping from the snow golem.

"Demon stones can be collected elsewhere, and I wonder if it would be a good idea to bring them back as they are on the crystal plate"

"Okay."

Ashley nods and cracks the snowmen using water magic. Like Ashley, Auria manipulated water spirits to join the task of breaking snowmen.

Some of the crystal plates have been broken during the battle, but let's let them do demon stone extraction from that stuff.

When Pietro nods as he was impressed to see such stripping work, he immediately joins the collection of the material in both parts.

"What shall I do with Yeti?

"Fur or... I don't know if it's a demon stone extraction, but I'll think about it when I bring it back to the guild. I want you to look at the real thing."

"Okay. Then stay put."

"Mmm."

Nodding at Grace's words.

"What are we going to do with that?

Serafina asks as she looks at the mammoth soldier.

Mm-hmm. I don't feel like I have a few demon stone extractions.

"Fangs, fur and... I guess meat later. I guess I'll keep forwarding that, too."

Some parts are not burnt when it comes to fur, and some parts are available. It would be good to transfer it as it is and bring it back.

If we're going to be honest, mammoth meat is something I'm worried about. That size would be a fair amount of food.

Mallane uses levitation for mammoth soldier and Ignis carries it. Arranging yeti and mammoth in front of Claudia, Claudia gently poked the ground with Shadow Tsu's wand to expand the magic formations and transfer them out of the labyrinth as supplies as they were.

"Crate Discovery"

Find the treasure chest in the wood with the leading Sheila on the side of the road. The location is where the Yeti and the others attacked us further down the road.

...... hmm. So I guess that means all those numbers were in big numbers?

During the stripping, Auria released the Spirit of the Wind to explore the surrounding terrain, but it seems the passage is structured in such a way that it can patrol around the crate. I wondered if there was anything I could find.

If a small number of people are aware of the risks and go for the chest while hiding behind the tree ice, they may be able to recover the contents of the chest without being found by the snowmen and Yeti.

"In the shadow of the tree ice there is a geyser. Be careful."

"Mmm."

The geyser is in a difficult place to see, he said. Bad nature inside. It's easy to discover from Illumhilt.

A geyser erupts if you approach it inadvertently. If they do, they will be discovered by demons, and if they fail or take the hassle of processing the lurking worms, they will increase the risk that they will also be discovered.

"I'm the worm."

And, Grace does her hand around her chest and step forward.

"Mm-hmm. Nice to meet you. If the water erupts, I'll defend it."

"Yes. Then -"

Grace threw toward the worm, which was making it look like a rock without question, as he wrapped his fighting spirit around the axe. The torso of the worm is dimensioned by sounding the crushing sound. It caused the stone's body to bring about a moment, but soon lost its power and collapsed. It won't be long.

I can do the hot water festivities, but the geysers don't erupt. Does it mean that it is the work of the worm that makes it high pressure?

And... I feel the anticipation glance from Corliss.

"That's for Corliss"

Corliss nods joyfully when he gives permission.

Mm-hmm. I guess that determines the use of the worm. The only other use seems to be the extraction of demon stones, but I'm not having much trouble with demon stones.

Sheila heads to check the chest quickly.

"I don't think the trap..."

Apparently, the only trap is a geyser nearby and the box itself is not trapped. I don't see any special magic in the box, so there's a magic trap. When the lock is unlocked, the lid opens gently.

And Sheila took something like a necklace with some green gems out of the box.

"This"

"Mm-hmm. Thanks"

... Don't feel the magic. From the wavelength, it looks like a healing magic prop...

Whether you can take advantage of it depends on your performance, but I don't think it's a poor performance to detect from the strength of the magic you feel or from that strict security. It will be necessary to take it back and look into it in a little detail on this.

Well...... Is there anything else I can set up or highlight? Let's continue our exploration until at least about the stone tablet.

And - we return safely from the stone tablet to the labyrinth entrance.

Don't feel considerably warmer than a tree ice forest to be indoors. Exhale small.

After all, it seems that a group led by Yeti was part of the trap, and the demons attacking in the other aisles were sporadic. Snow golems were often hidden behind tree ice and other shades.

If the snow golem is not moving, it has to be sensed in a way other than sound, but because it is a material similar to the compartment itself, it cannot be sensed by Sheila or Lavine's sense of smell, and because there is no temperature difference, it also seems difficult to detect temperature for Illumhilt.

But Corliss' nose, which smells magic, seems to be able to sense it, and the detection by Auria's Spirit worked well. It would be easier to have Corliss when heading to the tree ice forest.

"I'm back now"

Welcome home, Ambassador.

Soldiers and guild staff pack it in front of the entrance, and when they say hello to our return, they'll be happy to return. Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana should be giving real-time reports in the Adventurers Guild.

"That... would be hard to explore without being ready. Not as dangerous as Fort Burning Castle...... You can also find that the branch is the Devil's Light Watercourse."

and Auria shares her thoughts on the tree ice forest as she climbs the spiral staircase.

"Oh. If you're wet in water along the way, it's going to be hard to explore as you go in."

"Uhm...... You need to get dressed or dry before you go in."

Waterproof bags or magic props to dry your clothes? I guess I wouldn't have to worry about it if I had a party member who could dry my clothes with water magic.

Whatever it is, will it be the flow of going to the Adventurers Guild first to report and take action on the new section, then dispose of the loot, etc.

Let's try to get the adventurers to pay enough attention, including what we just talked about. If we had a new compartment, it would be a topic of discussion, but if we became aware of the difficulty, we would be cautious about entering. At a minimum, a red turning boundary stone would be a must.
