Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Gelato asks, not my brother.

The recovered Knight decided that there was no problem with the drained item and went out.

“How did the two of you see the petrification earlier?”

"How..."

"It's just a stone..."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

[Petrify], which is abnormal in condition, can harden the flesh to make it immobile.It just looks like it's hardened and petrified.

However, "petrification" becomes a fatal condition abnormality because even the organs essential for survival are stopped from moving.

You were able to confirm that you were alive beforehand, right?

"Ah, ahhh..."

When I pressed my ear against the chest of the petrified person, I heard a slight leak of the sound of my heart.

When I touched my skin, I could feel my body temperature, and it had the characteristics of a living human being with magic power.

The more knowledgeable about magic, the more he judged that he was "alive".

The fact itself is not wrong.

“What do you think this is?”

"Gems...?"

Take a small gem that glows red from the storage ring and show it.

We both knew it was a jewel, but we were confused to show it in the present situation.

I was just at the knight's feet recovering from petrification.

"But this is..."

The raw stone before it was processed, no matter what.

I didn't think it had fallen into the Knights' tent.

This jewel fell from the body of a petrified knight.

"Is that...?"

A knight on duty could not have carried such a thing.

“Rest assured. It's not his property.”

So, how did this happen?

"It's easy. It was the enemy's goal to build it."

I don't know the exact reason. But now that we know these facts, we can't afford to take the time.

"I found it."

I see!

While he was out, Noel opened his mouth as he continued to meditate.

It was necessary to concentrate, and Sylvia reluctantly supported me so that I would not have any problems if I fell because I hadn't seen it before.

About five kilometers into the woods.

"Maybe that's where the petrified people are."

The people who were petrified in the forest were petrified because they entered enemy territory.

Noel wanted us to track the enemy's response in order to find out the exact location.

Do you have any enemies?

”I haven't been there yet... after all, I've just entered the territory”

But you're confident that it's enemy territory.

"I mean, that's..."

Noel's speech diminishes.

It is faster to look at it directly than to ask.

"Damn, what is this..."

It wasn't winter yet, was it?

Aira murmured after sharing her vision with Noel in the same way.

It will start snowing and winter in a few days.Because of those time constraints, I was asked to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, green grass grows on the ground at the feet.

However, the world Noel is looking into.....

"It's easy to understand."

"The enemy is not the only one who can petrify it."If you feel like it, you can petrify the forest. "

It used to be a green world because the plants and trees in the forest were petrified from a place.

But now it's turning into a grey world, as if it had snowed.

I can't see it from here, though.

"That's what happens when you put a place in the forest on the border."

There it is!

A human-shaped stone statue can be captured in Noel's eyes, which were flying his sight into the forest.

Since it is a piece of equipment that emphasizes ease of movement without wearing armor, it can be predicted that it is an adventurer who was a scout.

"Anyway, it was the harvest that found out where the enemy was."

The Knights knew where the enemy was.

However, because it was dangerous up to that point, we could not grasp it, so we did not expect it, and the ambiguous information came without purchasing it.

I'll be right out.

First I share my sight, then Sylvia and the others.Noel also felt like he was flying into the woods.....

"Ugh..."

A small moan can be heard from behind.

"Hah!?"

When I looked back, the petrification that started from my head had reached my neck.

While observing the progress of petrification, Noel's skin turns gray and erosion progresses.

Incredible speed. Momentary judgment leads to fatal damage.

Iris!

I know!

Iris, who had moved faster than I could scream, placed her hand on Noel's shoulder, which was being petrified, and activated the [Regression].

The head turned into a stone regains its original state.

"... no!"

But it was only for the moment that Noel tried to lift his head.I immediately began petrifying and laughed at the [Regression] phenomenon.

Iris suddenly realized that she had failed from the maneuver of using her skill.

Her cry became a cry for help, and her companions responded.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Aira hits Noelle in the chest with her fist and stuns her. Sylvia supports her from where she collapsed.

After stunning, Iris activates Regression again.This time, after removing the petrification, there was no such thing as being petrified, and I succeeded in recovering the original state.

Are you okay?

Aira, who was stunned by the beating, looked into Noel's face with concern.

It's just that I'm stunned, so I'm not seriously injured, and I'm not in a life-threatening state.

"Noel will understand if you explain."At that time, I didn't have enough time to choose the means. "

All that was needed was to make Noel unconscious.

I could definitely lose consciousness by using magic.However, it takes a few seconds to activate the magic, and even more time to show its effects.

It wasn't very easy, but I couldn't afford to sleep with magic or skill.

However, even if it's to help, it doesn't matter if you hit her or not, so it's up to Noel to forgive her or not.

"Apparently, the enemy is more troublesome than we thought."

First of all, that Noel here has been petrified.

I was flying my senses into enemy territory in the woods.It was almost the same as flying a demon to replace my own eyes in a distant place, and there was an invisible connection between Noel and the forest through magic.

It was a skill that was useful for reconnaissance, but this time it was taken back.

I can't believe you're using this connection to attack me.

A thin connection that I would not normally consider using.I hadn't even thought of using such a connection to launch a petrifying attack from a distance.

“One more unexpected thing.”

"Yeah, I didn't expect to be petrified in the first place."

The immunity to Condition Anomalies varies based on the difference in Magic Power between the two.

Even Aira, who has the lowest amount of magic power among us, 's magic power far outweighs the magic power of a high-grade wizard.

The adventurers who were petrified in the woods were petrified, but they'll be fine.I was not alarmed, but I was aware that I had a similar feeling to my chronic heart.

"Aira, you will not be attacked by the enemy."

Well, even Noel was quickly petrified.

If left alone, the whole body was petrified in about ten seconds.Besides, it is a powerful skill that requires you to hit and stun.

The Knights were petrified while I was just looking away.

For the time being, we should stop going to the forest immediately.

Fortunately, the stun stopped the enemy attack.

Given the dangers of the forest, it was better to arrive in a perfect condition, and wait for Noel to regain consciousness.
