Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The scenery reflected by the Seeker - was a large circular hall, very similar to the basement of the Royal Castle of Beschmerck.

There are prints on the floor and many demonic stones embedded in the walls and ceilings... I can see that there are defensive spells in place.

First... has it been confirmed that the gates and underground facilities on the Demon Realm side are safe? It seems to be a statement that some pillars are falling or aging... but if the root part is safe, the spell will be reinforced by multiple layers. Is this also a measure of aging degradation?

"Is the air okay?"

"There have been times in the past when gates have been opened to confirm seals... and fresh air will be pouring in at that time."

Parteniara answers my words.

The Explorer has been modified for the purpose of exploring the demonic realm, and can be shown on the monitor as a numerical value by determining the state of the air… There seems to be no immediate shortage of acid or toxic gases when entering. Other hazards. For example, the flow of time is not the same as this one because of different worlds. There is nothing wrong with that.

If you try to approach this underground facility by irregular means or if you try to get in - it seems that you are applying a technique for paying people, such as creating repellence, discomfort, or anxiety.

Still, if the opponent doesn't walk away and tries to break inside, the Parteniara's assembled spell soldiers activate.

"The facility is alive and well. The way you appeal to your natural senses and avoid approaching them seems pretty effective in the long run."

Rosemary said as she conceived. Right. We don't feel that stuff because we have regular access, and we don't feel how much stuff they are because we haven't activated the spell soldiers. However, I also feel that this facility is safe for efficacy.

The prints on the floors and columns of the hall are the very technique necessary to form those spells. Pretty robust security is arranged for attacks from outside the facility itself, such as the activation of a reflex spell.

Given that it is the gates of the demonic world that are placed, this severity can also be taken for granted.

"Hmm. First - let's get out of the hall and see the defensive compartment."

"Here you are"

Parteniara says as she looks at the crystal plate monitor, Ashley nodding as she manipulates the seeker. We've made a model of the underground facility in advance, and we've all figured out the structure.

There is a defensive compartment disguised as a natural cavity above the hall where the gates of the demonic realm are located, and if the spell soldiers are activated, it is assumed that the battle will take place there.

There are no living quarters, etc. As much as there is one adjacent admin room from the compartment where the Demon Gate is located, I do not envisage staying here in the first place. Look around every corner with a seeker to make sure there are no abnormalities or intruders.

"Okay. Looks like there's no problem going inside. Let's activate the anti-transformation magic item now, just in case."

When you say that, everyone nods, too, and activates the demon prop firmly.

"So - that's it for us. Wait a little longer, then we'll be back on the ground."

"I'm praying for good luck"

Gabriella and Steven and the others say.

"Oh, thank you. See you at the first report."

"Yes, I'll see you later"

The first exploration is separated by a shorter deadline and reports are submitted early. It will explore the situation around the underground facility and create a space for the Sirius to be stored underground.

I'm coming.

"Steven, take care of your brothers."

"Oh. And Calcedonnay and Citria."

Steven and the others and Calcedone, Citria, have such an exchange and get hugged by Ealis and Euphemia to spare their goodbyes.

"Bye, Theo. Be very careful."

"Mm-hmm. Thank you for your support."

"Oh. I've been entrusted"

I also exchanged words with Albert, who came to drop me off so far, with a serious look, palms at face height. And we laughed at each other. Albert and the facade of the workshop - take on the role of supporting everyone in the backpacking with magic props. The technical team remaining on the Rungard side, that's why.

"I'll take you outside later on the backpackers."

It was Tierra who said that. Tierra and the Defense Forces Tiers will take it when it comes to escaping to the ground. I'm an administrator, so there won't be any problems.

That's how we dive through the gates of the demonic realm, each and every one of us being dropped off by Tierra, Cortiera and Gabriella - breaking into the demonic realm.

The moment I crossed the boundaries that swayed like a pneumonia, I perceived a change in temperature, humidity, air quality, and magic quality. Feels like you've entered another compartment of the labyrinth. But... nothing has changed the gates of the demonic world, the underground facilities, and they are surrounded by tranquillity. The environmental magic is quite intense. Is it because of the underground installations, or is this the case with the demon world itself?

While I tour my thoughts, I make sure that every faceted magic item that comes in after me is activated.

"There are no new footprints in the vicinity. Constant sand and dust on the floor, no problem."

"Temperature changes. - No, I don't think so."

"There are no other emotional beings besides us that I can sense."

When Sheila checks the surrounding floors quickly and then says, Illumhilt and Avril also look around and tell us the results.

"Right. I don't see any reaction in life defense either. The magic reaction - it's everywhere, but this must belong to the facility. There's no change in reaction, so the spell doesn't seem to be malfunctioning."

There have also been no problems with the various measurements of Wiz. There's no problem communicating with the Hyder we put on the Rungard side and the Hyder we brought into the demon world. It also brings in demonic props that generate and purify air, so there is no immediate problem.

"Let's stop the spell once so the spell soldiers don't malfunction. Elena, can you help me out a little?

"Yes, Master Parteniara"

Together with Parteniara, he manipulates the spell by touching the demonic stones near the gates of the demonic realm, with Elena advancing her work as an engraved witch.

The root part of the spell of these underground facilities is aggregated around that part of the Gate of the Demonic Realm, and it seems possible to repair the surrounding spell installations along with the repair of the Gate.

The surrounding tattoos, demon stones are spell-enhanced, so minimal functionality will be maintained, and management will be easier.

I will leave my hand luggage in a small room for management, moving Cadkeus and Valor, checking in the underground facility with human sea tactics such as Pietro's split and Appilasian reconnaissance bees. That way, if we proceed to confirm to the lice crush, it was confirmed that the facility was safe.

Defense spells have been activated for payroll only, and we can tell you that the basement will be fine if we start modifying the facility.

"From here on out, you see the situation on the ground."

"Right. We have to move the Seeker to the ground."

Nodding at Stephania's words. So we're going to move the Seeker from the combat compartment toward the ground and see how it goes.

"This is where it comes from."

And, seriously faceted Grace. Mallane snorts.

"You're treating the unknown more than you're going through the ages. It's dangerous to predict."

Knowledge of Parteniara may not be useful as it has gone through quite some time.

It's not unlikely that some intelligent species will seal it as a contraindicated land or build something like a temple due to the spell of paying people. I'm assuming that, but depending on the situation on the ground, this policy will also change.

Operate the Seeker and move it towards the ground. As we proceeded through the dirt, we hit something like a tree root. It would mean that the surface is close. I proceeded bypassing the roots and finally put my face on the surface - it was a forest there.

The forest is a vegetation I've never seen in Rungard. Something like a giant cedar plant or a thorn in the trunk of a curved tree... the vegetation itself is odd, but in the first place the leaves of the plant are mixed with something blue or silver, and the colour is not what we know.

Some risks are known to cause the seeker to climb onto the tree while simulating the surrounding atmosphere.

"This is another great landscape."

Osgrave tells me like I'm stunned.

"First of all... the sky is as the concubine remembers it, then there is. Forest vegetation is slightly different..."

Right, right. Parteniara mentioned it, but the color of the sky is strange.

Dark purple or red gradients, with lightning running in the distant sky, wilderness spreading from where the forest was interrupted, and seeing something like red lava from the cracks that ran to the ground.

It is a landscape that deserves the image of the word Demonic Realm, but is unsettling. Something like a floating island drifts in the air, too.

"Uh...... Whatever it looks like, the composition of the air looks fine."

If I had been different from Rungardo from there, I wouldn't have survived with the Parteniaras in the first place.

Parteniara raises her voice as she moves the Seeker up on the tree, looking all the way around her.

"A short while ago. Can I have it back?

"Yes."

A little back to Seeker's point of view...... I saw something like a stone wreck on a small high hill that looked far away.

"... the stronghold where we once lived. Bechmerck's predecessor - remains of King Elberulet's capital."

Parteniara closes her eyes with a frown root.

I see. There seems to be quite a distance to the Wang capital... but the capital becomes a ruin if people leave, and it really catches people's attention. So we set up the Gate of the Demonic Realm somewhere away? Until we hid it deep in the woods, there seemed to be a demonic raid.

"Whatever it is... I wonder if it's a shame that the forest has spread so far."

"Right. I can't conclude without a little more research into the surroundings, but the surroundings of the exploration base may be considered favorable."

After that, I'd expect no hostile species, ferocious or mighty creatures near the woods.
