Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Episode 64: In the Abyss of the Forest

Hole.

It was pockingly empty so as to hide secretly in the rocks of the woods.

Enough holes for each person to pass through, the magic around them is sucked into the gnaw.

Surely this would be a rare phenomenon, I never even heard of it.

"I don't know, this is an obvious anomaly.

"We'll check inside anyway. Elena, take the lead, please.

"I understand.

I prepared the lights and went inside.

It was a distorted cylindrical path, as if even a giant mite had passed.

Difficult for the high and low differences to go hard, but not so hard to get through.

Moving on for a while, I came across a wide cavity.

The size of the house is likely to fit a few houses, which would be rare in an underground space.

I warned him that there might be something, but there were no enemies, traps, etc.

It just seemed like the two of us got anxious when such a clapping unfolded.

"Hmm. Is it really here?

"Hey, you're going to think that nothing's going to happen so far.

"No, you're exactly in the middle of something right now.

"What?

"There's nothing going on.

"Alf, get out of the way.

"Yes, that's exactly what I think of that joke.

"No! No kidding!

I defended myself diligently by pointing to the cavities and surroundings earlier.

I don't want people to think of TPO as a painful boss.

"Have you seen the Warcraft so far? What about the little animals? What about bugs?!

"... ah.

"I haven't come across anything with a life before I got here, is this an anomaly?

"If you ask me, you're right.

"Will the weak creature die, feel dangerous and not lean on it...

"Anyway, it's not Locke. Something's going on. Let's go."

Walk to the back as you follow the magic currents that are drawn to you.

I don't even feel as if I'm being lured by someone, but I don't have any other idea.

Trouble solved in the deepest part, or I'll bust the bad guy, and that's it!

I was thinking of such a simple solution.

"! Stop.

"What? What kind of monster is that cow?

"That's also called Minotaur, the Bull Ghost Clan. There are only a handful in the world, a rare species.

"Are you strong?

"As you can see.

At the end of the aisle, there was the largest space ever open.

A huge shadow standing in the middle of the place.

An abnormal muscle in which the cow walked bipedally and his hands and feet developed to maintain that giant.

Heavy-duty axe and heavy armor with martial bones.

I don't care how you look at it, you don't look poor.

A man in line wouldn't be able to stand a single blow.

"I'll go first. I'll do some matches, so calculate his strength.

"Oh, wait!

That's what Elena said and popped up.

That idiot, he's in too much hurry.

You should make magic moves at a distance first, but suddenly you jump in!

Elena, leaping in front of her, immediately releases a punch from her blind spot.

It was a flowing, starkless motion, but it was prevented by an axe pattern.

"Become, he is!

"Gwow!"

Elena was blown away with a heavily sounding roar.

There didn't seem to be any damage, and he came back as he landed pretty.

"You idiot, you're dying!

"Sermons later, Alf. This guy is dangerous, protected by a magic barrier.

"I can't believe that... even a cow ghost is powerful enough to have a wall of magic.

"Rita, how about some mental magic?

"It's ineffective for someone with a weak ego, let alone even a barrier...

Shit, this one's in a hurry.

Will defeating him cure the anomaly?

"Alf, I found a passage on the other side. There still seems to be some back there, but enough to put the gatekeeper down. The deepest part will be right there.

"Okay, I'll keep this guy down. You two slap the culprit in the back.

"No, it's dangerous.

"I'm about the only one who can be safe across the street from such a monster. Then it's easier to do it alone.

"... yes, don't push me?

"Neither do you, it's out of hand. If so, come and run.

I ran out after I finished saying it.

I won't let you down, give me all your fists!

"Die, oraaa!

Minotaur blew up to the wall with a battered impact.

Surely the damage would not have gone through.

I feel blocked by something stiff.

You're a little silly that my full powers don't work.

The two of them run away through the back aisle.

For now, the purpose in front of us is complete.

"Gwooooooo!!

"Ugh! Don't shout in people's gardens!

An angry minotaur swung a big axe.

I pull out the long sword and let the magic reside in a defensive posture.

I avoided a heavy blow with centrifugal power after using my sword.

That's what I knew, but you're pretty powerful.

Enchants and physical enhancements are overwhelming, but the magic is grinding because of it.

Especially when attacked.

Every time a weapon screams, it consumes magic again.

When this happens, it's like drooling, and you'll be depleted without so much time.

If that happens, we'll have to wait for them to kill us later.

Before a monster with no gaps in attack or defense, I strained my mind for a long time.
