Hell Ant falls apart and collapses.

He left me some shards, but not enough to use them as material.

"Phew, you managed to win"

He hurt his shoulder when he was thrown away, and he approaches Melissa with his hands on him and a healing magic hanging.

I knew Hell Ant's weakness was [water]. However, it was extremely difficult to produce water in the desert. Herant himself knew that, so he was not on guard against the water.

"I should have been able to get the water out if that bothered me. How did you imitate someone you knew was good at melee fighting with a sword?"

Melissa was angry.

The trap itself was ready early, so I had no problem letting it go at the time the divine sword was taken.

"He had an unusually high status. So I was wondering how strong you are."

I succeeded in slashing a few arms, but that's all I was prepared to sacrifice.

No matter how many arms you have, it's an anomaly to be cut off easily.

"Probably, but I can grow arms"

"Are you capable of regeneration?

"It's not like that"

Lift the arm that Illis slashed off while explaining.

"I can't judge you by these fragments, but I've evolved many times"

Some demons can regenerate their bodies when they evolve.

Herant was also originally a weak demon. However, he repeated his evolution by accumulating victories while remaining in a state one step ahead of his death, making him stronger to his present state.

And I could decide that eating Melissa would allow me to evolve.

"You were used to evolving over and over again into little pieces."

"Is evolution such an easy thing to do?

"This individual is special. And given the different circumstances of this hierarchy, you'll find the answer."

There is no demonic response at all in the desert hierarchy.

That's why I overlooked it until the moment it was clearly displayed.

"Did this guy eat his people all over the place?"

"For demons, even if they were demons of the same kind, their sense of companionship was so weak that suddenly they only seemed bait."

Before becoming a herant, he evolved under the magic of the labyrinth.

Redundant by becoming stronger, Heliant evolved to eat demons like he was greedy, choosing Melissa for his next prey.

"Do you not have to collect the Divine Sword more than that?

"Ah......!

The divine sword that flew away.

If it's normal to drop things in the desert, it's desperate, but this is a desert made in the labyrinth. Let the map show the reaction of the Divine Sword.

"There was..."

If you can use the map, you can call it in [Attract (Sport)] remotely.

"Yeah?"

But they won't summon me.

On the contrary, it is moving away.

"What are you saying..."

I have no choice but to head to the place where the Divine Sword is falling.

From the side, the majority of the divine sword was buried in the sand.

"That's crazy..."

When I checked the state of the divine sword, I thought I couldn't call it in because I was buried in the sand. However, when [attraction] is used outside the labyrinth, it may not be used if it is sandwiched or secured with heavy objects or the like.

But if you use it in the labyrinth, you should be able to move only the divine sword even if the sand was entangled, as it is now.

Still, it doesn't change that there is a divine sword in front of you.

"Is that...?

The bewildered voice of Illis arrives.

"What's up?

"I thought I'd just collect the demon stones of Hell Ant, but I'm looking for them from earlier and I can't find them anywhere"

"You don't."

I'll check the map.

Explore and you will have a demonic stone reaction.

"Me too, I'm looking for it, but there's nothing there."

"You're buried in the sand... hmm?

I try to help, too. I try to pick up the fallen sword.

But I can't lift it as if there's something heavily pressurized.

"I knew..."

The sand around the divine sword is not ordinary sand.

Finally, the sand swallows up my pants. Somehow, the sword is carried away somewhere, although only the hand has succeeded in pulling it out.

"What do you want to do?

"You're gonna have to collect it"

Answer Sylvia, who has asked.

That divine sword is the only weapon. Again, there's already not enough room to generate with the magic of the labyrinth.

The problem is, you don't know what's going on.

"Everybody, listen! Hell, Ant's still alive!

"What do you mean?

"There's no demon stone anywhere!

The grieving cry of Illis.

If you look at the map, the demon stones do react. Still can't find it.

"It's fully integrated with the magic of the labyrinth"

Shit, it's worse than a dragon in the ass of an ant demon.

The total loss of flesh strengthened his desire for survival and unfortunately demonstrated his properties as a labyrinth-born demon.

"Get off the spot!

As a result, a giant ant-Man made of sand appears around the fallen puddle of Herant.

The size is enough to look up, and anyone who intimidates an ant Phantom made of sand as he slowly opens his mouth remembers fear.

"That son of a bitch, he's evolved."

It evolved by gaining a vast amount of magic that filled the labyrinth, just as it did during the Strawberry Rabbit. Normally, even with magic, it would not be easy to evolve, but in a situation where there was only a vast hierarchy of herunts accustomed to evolution, evolution was effected by a strong desire not to die.

What is more troublesome than anything else is that it is fully integrated with the hierarchy due to the search for a body that will not die.

"Sylvia, can you locate the demon stone?

"... I can definitely feel strong signs from that giant ant. I just don't think it's a demon stone."

"Totally assimilated."

There is a will somewhere that can be called nucleus.

The problem is we don't know where that nucleus is.

Usually, you don't have to deal with giant demons like this. You just have to get out and jump into the next hierarchy. In demons that have become fully integrated with the hierarchy, even in labyrinths in rampant conditions, the hierarchy cannot be moved.

"I can't afford him right now..."

We need to find the godsword that has disappeared.

"That's coming this way...?

Following the reaction of the divine sword, it was supposed to have gone away and come back here.

"Roar."

What seemed more reactive was a human-shaped ant the size of a herant who had fought earlier. However, the body is made of sand and a divine sword is held in its hands.

Pull out of the sheath in a flowing motion.

Hell Ant stepping in. Flew a rock created by magic, but slashed by a divine sword waved without even showing any resistance.

But the rock flew in and succeeded in crushing Herant's vision.

Reverse your body and escape the orbit of the Divine Sword.

"Hey..."

He escaped. He's coming after me. Divine sword.

Sudden orbital modifications had been made.

"Yes..."

Hell Ant in front of me is a sand doll made by magic. The main unit doesn't make sense when it crushes Herant's vision in front of him because he's elsewhere.

It would be bad if it stayed like this. When you deal with a divine sword, you have no defense.

"Your husband!

Sylvia holds me in her arms.

A slaughter by a divine sword that amputates everything blows desert sand.

"Was it such a nasty sword when you turned it to the enemy?"

Watch Herant with a divine sword in his hand as he sand his body.

"What are we going to do?

"You're gonna have to take it back."

"We're gonna have to do this."

Ira with a sword in her hand in front of Herant.

But the use of magic by Heliant, whose eyes glow suspiciously, makes him nowhere to fight.

"Huh..."

Hell Ant made of a number of sand that appears to surround.

"Just give me a minute, buy me some time"

The surrounding Heranto leaves it to the Iras to head to Heranto with the Divine Sword.
