Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"From what I've seen, I think it's best to look at the ruins with the gaps in the behemoth - we were exploring the ruins, but... is there anything left in that ruin?

"Become a battlefield with King Elberulet. Some things have been buried in the rubble. We have tried to leave no danger for future generations whenever possible, but the possibility that we have missed it cannot be totally denied. The concubines were not able to afford it, so some of it was not recovered by the magic stones."

While explaining the situation to everyone, asking Parteniara a question returned such an answer.

"It may be aimed at exploring materials left behind in the ruins, or materials that have come to be produced over the years. I think it would be worth exploring the ruins themselves."

That's Rosemary's opinion. Stefania also knows how to explore the ruins, so she snorted.

Well. We don't know when Behemoth will be back. This is the situation. I can't even postpone much of a way of responding to them, but at least putting Avril, a non-combatant, forward is dangerous.

"To the boulder... at this distance, I'm out of my power alone."

Avril frowns at the root of her eyebrows as she looks in the direction of the hills. I also know if it's easy to negotiate with someone if you can see their personality and tendencies... you should proceed with caution.

"If you resonate with us."

"Yeah, I can get my abilities... maybe."

"I'll try."

They synchronize it with Calcedone's and Citria's abilities, resonate their abilities like a fork, and amplify their range. It seems to take a bit of time to prepare for things like synchronization and amplification, so let's hope it goes well and work out a good plan.

"First… Shall we ask the Seekers to follow us and explore their strongholds? If you didn't realize they were sneaking in, you could say that Behemoth's ability to detect has increased the formula for not being able to follow Seekers."

Or they are also deluding Behemoth's ability to detect by magical means. Or they need to consider various possibilities such as being in a Behemoth ruler, or symbiotic relationship... assuming Behemoth is on their side, it doesn't make sense for them to act for them when they're away. That's unlikely, it seems good to think.

So wouldn't it be a good policy to put Explorer on Valor to earn distance at once, to have him follow their footsteps without going away, to identify the direction, location of their home base, and then Avril to look at their lives and their overall character and trends?

We were talking about that and deciding on our future policy - but the situation was moving even further. Wilderness on the south side - Behemoth was seen across the horizon. I'm about to come back to my territory after hunting.

Behemoth's jaw is named a monster that should be called a giant fiery serpent - it's already on the verge of death from life's reaction.

Both the body surface, which would have been burning and red-hot, and the flames disappear during viewing, losing heat and extinguishing the radiance of the life response.

The wilderness on the south side looks like lava in the cracked parts of the land. Should we see a fiery serpent dwelling beneath the ground? And the giant beast Behemoth hunting it for nothing.

If so... is that wilderness the hunting ground for him? Whatever... the out-of-the-way demonic environment, but it's a terrible environment.

The four men who were trying to escape the ruins were not the ones who had accumulated. I can see Behemoth looking in the distant sky, and I can see him hesitating.

He seemed wondering if he should proceed from the ruins or stay, but given the speed of Behemoth rushing through the sky, if he did, would he be caught before fleeing the hills? Spread the wings like a bat - some of them pointed to the forest side where we are and suggested to fly away, but the others can pull it off.

Right, right. Behemoth's gaze is toward the ruins. If you fly away, you will likely be found and wiped out due to different flight speeds.

My point of view and their point of view seemed to coincide, and when I shook my head to the side like I had no choice, I decided to go back inside the ruins. I guess that means there's somewhere out of Behemoth's sight where you can hide yourself.

But trouble is an overlap. Was the baggage on your back in excess of the allowable amount, or had you damaged the cloth bag somewhere? A cloth bag on one's back breaks and punches the contents on the spot.

Some tools and thoughts for food and camp, but Valor's vision captured the mix of something - something like crystals.

Demonic stones or minerals? It's hard to tell at this distance... but knowing they were in the ruins, I came looking for them knowing the danger, or something?

They seem to have prioritized evacuation over the recovery of scattered supplies. I rushed into the ruins in a hurry, thinking that there was no respite compared to Behemoth's rate of return, even as the items that hit me on the spot caught my hair behind me.

But - that would be a mistake. Even if he could hide himself, if he didn't disguise himself, Behemoth would eventually realize that someone had broken into the territory.

As an indication, Behemoth, who had returned, had seen supplies scattered across the ground, and when he threw his prey away from his mouth, he was starting to jump around the ruins with a roar of anger.

"It's okay. Their evacuation is complete, too. I felt signs of relief."

Avril said, Calcedonne and Citria also nodded with a serious face. The amplification of abilities has arrived in time. To judge the situation from Behemoth's behavior and the emotions of the four, there doesn't seem to be enough urgency to interrupt right now and come in to help assuming the fight.

Valor's already pulled in from high altitude, and since he's using cover-ups around the entrance, he doesn't seem to have to worry about us being discovered...

At least now there's a friendly connection between them and Behemoth.

As Behemoth raised a frustrating growl, bringing the thrown flaming serpent inside the ruins again, he ate it and chopped it, and looked around with his hands on the outer wall as he filled his belly, alerting himself inside and outside the ruins.

"That's... that's not going to leave the ruins for the time being."

"Those who fled inside are going to be forced to cage castles. I don't know how far food and water can go, but it must have hurt to lose one person's food."

To my words, Wimberg says with a harsh look. Yeah, I guess. If Behemoth doesn't make a move on that spot, it's even worse. Avril explains the details he sensed.

"I wonder if the first thing that resonated strongly from them... was a sense of purpose. I think that's what they thought when they were trying to escape. I wonder if the supplies they tried to take out of the ruins were necessary for them."

The emotions felt from them fleeing inside the ruins are temporary relief and strong anxiety. First of all, they could hide themselves, but I guess they also know that the situation is bad.

"A sense of purpose,"

"If that's the case... maybe we can build a friendship with them."

Ashley says with a worrying look. A sense of purpose. It must have meant that he was moving knowingly for someone, for something. Those people would certainly be able to respond to it to a certain extent if they helped.

"Right. Think of the operation in the direction of rescue."

If we can attract Behemoth, we might be able to rescue him safely. You can tell where Behemoth stands if you talk to them, and you're likely to get information about the demonic world.
