Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 674, the inhabitants of the demonic world.

If you want to attract Behemoth, it will still be the wilderness on the south side. Because if Behemoth himself is making it a hunting ground, he can make less of an impact when Behemoth breaks out.

Whatever you do to deal with Behemoth, you should avoid the option of fighting at the ruins of El Bellure. I don't know where the four of them are hiding, and I can't ignore the impact on the ecosystem when it comes to the activity of so many giant beasts. I still need information.

Speaking of information... we don't even know what's left of the ruins.

In fact, were the exterior walls of the ruins built extraordinarily robust or still slightly magical reactions, dotted from this position with compartments that cannot be detected by life or magic sensing.

"Do you still have a defensive spell? I play the technique from the outside, but it's all falling apart, depending on the form of the technique, maybe."

Parteniara says. Right. Whether it's life instruction or monoculars, it's a gaze dependent surgical form, so it's blocked by a defensive spell applied wall, but Avril's ability seems to have been made to act either because it's a form of resonating the five senses, or in an invisible place. Now - it doesn't arrive anymore.

Either way, the city's defensive spell function still exists, which means that the defense that Parteniara and the others once built was excellent because of the devil's mutations and demonic countermeasures.

There is also such a background, and some information inside the ruins is missing.

But on top of that, we have to somehow lure Behemoth out and set up an operation to rescue the four of us.

That's why I'm going to talk to everyone and pack the operation. There is not much temporal respite, so I can't pack it into details, but in large part, I divide it into guidance and rescue squads, and backpacking to act.

If you're going to explain to the big mess, the induction squad has the role of drawing Behemoth's attention and luring him out of the ruins. The rescue squad is on the go to help Behemoth's absence. The backpacking will be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and will move on an ad hoc basis, such as providing support for the guidance and rescue teams according to the situation.

"The rescue squad - because we need to see the possibility of fighting, and we need to leave in different ways depending on the situation... I'll be out front. I think if we take Valor, if Behemoth comes back this way, I'll be evacuated."

"So we're backpacking."

Take my word for it, and Rosemary answers as she devises across the feather fan. Right. I'm assuming some circumstance, so I mean having it move on an ad hoc basis later. I also know that there are no prominent demons around because of Behemoth, and as for this one, it's easy to move.

"Then the inductee is me and him"

And, as he worked out the general operation, Osgrave put his hand on his chest and smiled.

"Is the range okay?

"There's no problem. The people inside were called Army Smoke because it has a wide range of effects."

That's a reliable story. Therefore, after confirming that the equipment for counteracting mutations, etc. and the magic props are ready, it was decided to move each one.

"We're all set and ready."

And, Claudia contacts the comms. I'm using a triple camouflage field of light, sound and cover-up magic, and I'm currently moving towards the ruins side of the hills.

We can also get into view from here about the other side of the hillside that we didn't see from the woods. Beyond the hills were plains - mountains were visible in the distance. There seems to be a valley inhabited by a clan of mushrooms in that direction... but in this situation where Behemoth is getting more alert, it's possible that moving down the plain will launch an attack. Then again, we will need to evacuate to the less promising forest side.

'There's nothing wrong with this one. We're about to arrive at the ruins, but there's no sign of Behemoth noticing. I wonder if the detection capability relationship is... not so much'

Put everyone in touch with the comms. Behemoth - he doesn't seem to have noticed my presence, he looks around with his hands on the outer wall.

Changes were made in the wilderness on the south side in anticipation of the time.

A black vortex rolled up, and Gashadow appeared out of it.

Naturally, Behemoth growls furiously when he finds it. So much so that a tremendous roar shook my skin. I use wind magic defenses on my ears, so I take care of the growling...

But - it still doesn't work. Maybe he cares to say that there is something near the ruins because he is also finding the package he dropped as a behemoth.

That is also the scope of the forecast. Gashadokuro accumulated light in his mouth, exhaling flashes towards the ruins. Gashadow's sparkling flashes passed through the ruins.

Couldn't you even see this as a behemoth on a boulder, or when you roar again, you fly off the ruins. Gashadokro also spread his hands to intercept Behemoth, putting up a sword of bones. Let something like a black vortex erupt from all over your body.

That's it for Gashadokuro. The black vortex rising from all over his body is just haunting the smoke of Osgrave. Gashadokro himself is in the phase of luring Behemoth, and Mallane is pulling him back to his underground base with a repatriation ritual.

Later - you can have a delayed battle with Behemoth for a little while by the giant smoke doll created by Osgrave.

Behemoth waves a giant nail at a fake gashadocro - but a giant skeleton made of smoke materializes elsewhere while misting the body. If he picks up a big rock and throws it at Behemoth, showing him how to do it without getting lost, Behemoth eats it straight through and penetrates it. The dense smoke sword was used to meet with the claw fangs, and the irresistible blow returned to the smoke and dispersed. Turn to the blind spot and then materialize to launch the attack.

You're doing well. The scale is out of digits, but Osgrave will do well because he has a lot of experience fighting ferocious beasts. It's not about knocking them down, it's just about attracting them. The Osgrave body is also an operation from the safety zone, so you don't have to worry about getting involved in the fight. In the meantime... I'll break into the ruins too. The main entrance has collapsed and there is no such thing as a blocking junction. There seems to be some defense left against magical objects.

Inside the outer walls - when you look at the crumbling debris and the foundations of buildings buried in the soil - there's something you can imagine in the streets that used to be.

Abandoned once a castle across the boulevard. The corpse of a giant snake that Behemoth has hunted in front of its main entrance. The large building is a pile of rubble. If you want to hide yourself, is it the remains of the castle or the shade of the rubble pile?

Well. Where are they hiding? I don't know until I get used to this environment because the magic reaction is so intense in the first place, even though it's dotted everywhere. So, what's the light of life response? I can't see this either... but I can't deny that I have the magic of a disguise system. It's just... I don't see any new signs of destruction, blood, etc., so it doesn't look like they've been captured by Behemoth.

"I saw a predicament and I came to help! There are several ways to steal your eyes and escape while you're attracting that giant beast! I want you to show yourself or send me a signal!

Let it be wind magic and oriented while using the magic props of translation, so that it sounds inaudible to the behemoth behind it. There is a question as to whether we can be trusted to do so, but if we clarify our position first, we can suddenly launch an attack… well, we can reduce it.

As I was flying low inside the ruins with several calls, I saw a brilliance of life response toward the castle. If the castle has a defensive spell similar to the outer walls...... Inside, you can reach both Life Direction and Avril's abilities. Considering that the crystals they were collecting were also taken from somewhere in the castle, Tsuji fits.

As I flew towards you, I saw a staircase that somehow led to the basement near the castle.

Those who were peeking at my face from there, confirming that I was coming close, were showing me like I was trying to get up or escape - overlapping and saying, "No harm! I'm here to help! I said," I saw a slight cruise.

"Listen to me! My people are attracting that giant beast right now! I would suggest that you evacuate to the woods with poor prospects because you can use the technique of erasing appearances and signs!

When I say that and let them use light magic to disappear or manifest themselves, they look at each other and nod at each other that way. The leading man turned this way and said:

"What can I do? Follow your instructions……!

"Across the main entrance - let's get out of where that wall is crumbling and down the slope and escape into the woods"

"I couldn't move because the giant beast was forming in front of the castle - can I go now? Guys! Grab your bags! We'll be on the move in a minute!

That's what I said - a man calls on his people. The three of them are going to get their bags in a hurry.

"Before we act together... I think I should show you this face."

That's how the leader-like man took off the hood of his coat and showed his face.

He looks close to a human being. A bull-like horn in gray hair. Light purple skin.

White-eyed and black-eyed colors are different from humans. The normal white eye area is black and the iris is red. I have wings like bats on my back. Likewise, I take the hood that the other three wore and show their faces, but it looked like the same race, although there was a difference in hair color and gender and age. Two young people. Slightly younger than that...... one man and one woman with an impression of childhood. When my gaze matches, he looks at my face and bows.

Life reactions and magic reactions are not the same as those of demons. Both demons are spiritual creatures. There is a lot of magic holdings...... however different they look and organs, they are close to humans in nature.

"It's the Verito of the Diabolos. Apparently, you're from a race we don't know..."

"It's Theodore. Let's talk about race later. I'm going to use the disappearing technique, so follow me around."

That's what I say. Cover them with a camouflage field and start moving.

Diabolos? human beings who have undergone a degeneration or a race based on them….

I can think of a lot of possibilities. Parteniara and he doesn't know everything about the demonic world race... well I don't even know the racial taboo so why don't you listen to him as he follows through on the roots?

I crossed the front gate of the castle and tried to move against the wall, that's when. Life response in the back of the main gate. It was Behemoth, about the size of an elephant, who showed his face in such a way as to be terrified behind the gate. However... I have no fangs, no horns, and I have a young face. Is that - the toddler of Behemoth? He's pulling his leg... Could he be injured somewhere?

"Is that Verito and the others?

When I point my finger and ask, Verito and the others look at it and round their eyes.

"Of the giant beast, boy...? No, I don't. I had heard rumors for some time that the giant beast had settled in. I infiltrated for a purpose while I was away... I searched the basement and came back to earth, and the giant beast was coming back... and I was watching for a chance to escape"

I see...... Is that so? Not in the territory, but because Behemoth's toddler was injured, his parents chased away the surrounding demons and protected him as he hid until his injuries healed, he said.

If the Diabolos aren't involved in childhood injuries either - maybe it's not that hard to get the Behemoths and the others out of this ruin.
