Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"If there are settlements in the surrounding area, there are some areas where the environment can be inferred."

Rosemary says as she looks at the crystal plate monitor.

Right...... Whether it's favorable or hostile to this one, if some intelligent species is creating a settlement, it means that there is a relatively safe and livable environment for that species... and if there is a fierce demonic territory, even if the living environment is good, there will be no settlement nearby.

People pay, but this spell is aimed at a somewhat intelligent species.

Regardless of the strength of the demon beyond being an action that works on the spirit, it is considered difficult to settle in because it is quite uncomfortable there in the heart of the spell. Well, that's also... if you're a race with some emotion or intelligence.

Vegetation is different. Normal plants usually thrive. But plant demons depend on the species, and mineral and golem species are suspicious of their own consciousness. The spell of paying people will also be ineffective against a species whose spiritual structure is too remote from humans. Most of all, the Defense of Reflective Spells is effective against such demons.

Based on that, if you say if this neighborhood is... I honestly don't have enough information. Because I don't know the demonic ecosystem. If the Seeker on the tree looks around - is there still some kind of demon, or is it a plant specific to the demon kingdom, with strange branches that look a little farther away?

It was also easy to consider the assumption that if this were Rungard, there would be a people-paying spell.

"That's... moving, but it's not a demon, it's a plant. I recognize the colour and shape of the leaves"

"I see..."

Something like that. We can tell this time because we have Parteniara, but the demonic ecosystem is puzzling. Actually, we have to look at it and distinguish it by the magnitude of the life and magic reactions.

"At least… the place where this forest was was itself a relatively safe place at the time when the concubines chose it to install the Gate of the Demonic Realm. Everywhere in the demonic world, magic is intense, but this place wasn't a special environment for magic build-up and transformation."

Parteniara says. It seems that it was a gentle hilly area at the time, and the forest, which was a little further away, has spread to this area.

"In the meantime... Shall we make a map of the area while we gather information in the tunnel with Explorer? I'll ask Cadkeus and Valor to make a model too."

Everyone snorts at my words. Take turns to operate the Seeker. Unity of will is important. The information collected by the Seeker - terrain, flora and fauna seen, etc. will be used as models each time.

As for the Seekers, they can disguise their appearance, and they're not the subject of appetite from most of the wild demons. There is no doubt that exploration can be carried out peacefully.

"When Cadkeus and Valor take a break... I'll see..."

"If that's the case, my abilities will help."

Sigritta and Osgrave said. So Sigritta can remember what she saw and still be in the picture later, and Osgrave can make 3D models out of smoke.

"Well, let me rely on Cadkeus and Valor for magic."

So when I was looking around from the tree and gathering information, I saw something strange. Hills… the ruins of El Bellure - a giant beast peeked at the remains of the castle walls as they mounted themselves. Muscles developed to the point where they seem to be ripped off and giant twisted horns. A burning red looking monster.

roaring toward heaven as he boasts of his existence. It was also found over the crystal plate monitor that the frightening air was vibrating.

Everyone's expressions also show a color of tension - but the monster seemed to settle his body across the wreckage of the walls in slow motion after a long long long roar, again invisible from the sight of the Seeker.

"What the hell is that...?

"... as the monsters of the Divine Age... Behemoth, the concubines called you. What I used to see wasn't supposed to be a giant body by that time, and it was different where it lived in the first place... I still can't rely on my previous knowledge."

Parteniara answers Elena's question with a slightly nervous voice. Behemoth, huh?

"Is that a territorial boast... or something like that?

Grace frowns at the root of her eyebrows as she looks at the monitor.

"Maybe. But it's the problem with the ruins of El Bellure. It's a place that needs to be studied in detail, and as we expand our exploration base here, we may need to be able to fight Behemoth over the circumstances and nature..."

"Mm-hmm. I'd like to keep it safe near the base."

Sheila nods. Right. If we just look at the ruins, we can also think of ways to lure them out of the ruins, but if we continue to explore them, we want to ensure their safety near the base.

It's quite a distance to the ruins of El Bellure, but it's such a giant beast. Correspondingly, the territory would be extensive. It's hard to imagine that I boast of my territory so flashly, so warm, not according to what I see......

If so, it is likely that other organisms are avoiding this neighborhood, too? If the problem in the vicinity of the base is to be narrowed down to Behemoth alone, then that also brings out the easy part... Okay.

After completing the observation from the tree, the exploration range of the Seeker will be expanded slightly. Since we can understand the state of exploration in Cadkeus and Valor, I decided to start building the berth of the Sirius as well.

Either way, we'll need the Sirius if we're going to think about staying. The landscape outside is unsettling, such as the colours of the sky and vegetation, and then you may consider the spiritual aspect of being able to spend time on board the Sirius, which you are used to seeing.

"Well then... I guess I'll dig it out of the battle compartment"

We must proceed with the expansion so that Behemoth cannot be seen from the ground more than he is in close proximity. Then the question arises as to where to exclude dirt and sand...

First, turn the dirt and sand into a golem and move it to the combat compartment to make the first working space.

Later, you can use disassembly magic to wipe out dirt and sand or compress it to high density to expand the space as much as you need.

"Maybe... I'll behave fairly extensively with disassembly magic, so if there are enemies or raids while it's depleting, please respond. Then stay away from me while I work because it's dangerous."

"I understand."

To my words, Tesdiros wrapped thunder around his limbs... he seems quite tempered. Everyone nods with a serious face, too. Well, the magic potion also brings in enough, so I just want to make sure I don't make too many lacking magic gaps.

"Get up."

Ringing your fingers turns dirt and sand into golems. We will build a branch from the passage connecting the battle compartment with the Gate of the Demonic Realm. The downward passage, which leads to the compartment where the Gate of the Demonic Realm is located, will usually be safe if the medal golem is embedded and blocked.

Send the created golem into the combat compartment to deform it squarely and block it. Compress the walls of the created space. Structural strengthening will also be used to consolidate and reinforce it so that it does not collapse.

Use the space you made as a stepping stone - refine your magic in circulation before expanding your magic circle. Wrap the glow of disassembly magic around your body. It releases disassembly magic to the front and scrapes dirt and sand all at once, compressing the ceilings and walls to a high density before the created space collapses to further expand the space.

Drink magic potion and replenish magic all the way through. Repeat that - eventually we had a spacious underground space.

"First, disassembly magic is about this. How's safety?

"Mmm. I think it's okay."

Serafina laughs and tells me. Good.

Bedrooms, kitchens, baths, toilets, material storage, etc. … will need to be equipped so that we can stay without the Sirius.
