Former General Is Undead Knight

"Lambert's old man, you're early enough..."

"... armor that looks so heavy, I'm wearing it"

If Lloyd zeroes his stupidity, Lily drops her shoulder like a disappointment, too.

Lily only looked back at her half and glanced backwards, wiping her forehead sweat with long robe sleeves.

Fiona and the others were desperately running after Lambert, who disappeared into the back of the three tiers.

But at best in the three tiers, Auga is the strongest kind of demon, and it doesn't live that much either.

Few demons were able to stop Lambert, and he was moving further and further ahead to leave the Fionas behind.

"Lily, how are the followers?

"The demons seem to be distracting me. But he's moving with certainty crushing the road behind him. There are quite a few of them, and some of them may be more sensible than me. I don't think he's just a bandit. Back Alliance...... I wonder"

"It's also going to be difficult to get away with sprinkling. For now, we just have to follow the path that Mr. Lambert would have gone through..."

Chasing Lambert was not difficult in itself, as there were still bodies slaughtered and killed in the flair of demons.

Occasionally, we encounter occasions when demons are eating the bodies of other demons, but while such demons held Fiona and the others in a slight distance, they were never eager to attack them with enthusiasm.

Fiona and the others ran through three levels and eventually stopped their feet in front of a large door that was left open. I took a slow peek ahead and let my face fade away.

Behind the door was a large staircase leading to further underground.

"Oh, hey, you're kidding..."

Lloyd makes his face cramp.

The underground four tiers are protected by the 'demons that change shapes like black shadows', a place where it is said that no adventurer has just survived there once since the discovery of this Einsas underground labyrinth.

It's never a good place for second-rate adventurers like Lloyds to step in.

I'm not uncoordinated with Lambert.

It's not that I can't read the air, although I sometimes take actions that may be judged odd from time to time because modern common sense is as if I'm not around.

Today, Fiona and the others were going to fit in one line, and I knew repeatedly that they didn't want to go to the basement four tiers because of their reaction.

But Lambert couldn't turn back before he found the crest of the wise man, Domillione.

If this is the research facility of the wise man Domillione, it's not surprising that dangerous sorcery ceremonies and weapons are sleeping underground.

Never can they be brightened.

I needed to find it early in the day and dispose of it myself.

That's why I was going to return Fiona and the others early and sneak up on the Einsas Underground Labyrinth myself.

"Mm, you can't!? You just can't do it. This! Oh, hey, you've really gone this way. Lambert's old man!

"But if I were Mr. Lambert, I'd think I'd do something about it..."

"It's not like you don't know there was a case before where the guild" The Witch Candlestick "took twenty people to get in and who didn't come home alone!? We're not about to go unplanned in small numbers!

The guild "The Witch's Candlestick" was until not long ago the third largest guild within the city of Einsas.

It had an array of brilliant magicians and was not simply a guild of adventurers, but also a prestigious guild known throughout the Kingdom of Legions as a sorcery research organization.

Nevertheless, it is no longer but a glory of the past.

"The Witch's Candlestick" embarked on a heavy Einsas Underground Labyrinth underground four-story offensive six months ago, and no one was ever coming back, even in case they were even getting ready to withdraw early.

The 'Witch's Candlestick', which was to lack a majority of executives, was then pushed to dismantle.

"I'm not going! I'm not going! Him, turn back! Hide somewhere...... yes, if you hitchhike in with other demons, you might be able to get out of the way!

Lloyd was stubbornly searching for a helpful path outside of the basement four tiers.

At that time, Lily, who was meditating her eyes and standing on her cane, opened her eyes as she unloaded her cane and slowly shook her head.

"... example guys, they're coming this way from multiple aisles. As it is, they will surely be surrounded. I may not have much time to think about it."

"Ha!?

Fiona breathed and then looked back at the two of them.

Then he nodded small, then pulled out his sword and put it in his hand, and ran to the stairs on the four basement levels without taking any confirmation from the two of them.

There is no respite we are discussing at the earliest.

Fiona decided it was better now to show in action than to persuade Lloyd in words to conclude.

Lily also saw Fiona's decision and immediately started chasing after her.

"Ah!?

Lloyd reaches out but doesn't reach Lily.

Lloyd stood to the front of the stairs and watched Fiona and Lily run down, dropping their shoulders disappointingly.

Then I step on the floor ramblingly.

"Damn, damn it! You can go, you can go!

Thus the three Fionas rushed down the stairs half-baked to the four basement levels where Lambert was located.

Down the stairs was a large room.

Apparently after Lambert had already reacted to Shining Stone, the area was completely brighter.

Until now, it was an interior such as the decaying old ruins themselves, but the underground four tiers changed their mood from before, at best in conditions such as a slightly old palace.

The walls were carved with fine patterns, but the majority of those fine patterns were just creepy, if you look closely, flowers with hand-like petals stretched out, demons with only one eye large, or wings visible from cracked eggs.

The floor was strewn with shallow water to the point of wetting it to the ankle.

Fiona and the others were confused, but were somewhat relieved because Lambert was quickly found.

Lambert stood up in the middle of a large hall with a sword.

"Mr. Lambert?

As Fiona tried to get closer, she saw a black shadow flying in momentum toward Lambert.

Horribly fast. At an almost invisible rate, he rushes past the side of the lambale.

"Oh, that's the rumor..."

"The demon that changes its shape like a black shadow"... it was definitely the reaper of the underground four tiers.

"La, Mr. Lambert, it's impotent! Please come back!

The black shadow flies again, aiming to Lambert.

Lambert waves the Great Sword at divine speed. The shadow fell to the ground as it was cut in two and raised a black splash.

The shock of the sword jumped the surrounding water.

"Ahhh! Or did you do it!?

But as soon as he fell to the ground, one crack of the black shadow fragment bounced up again and approached Lambert.

"Oh, no, I can't believe I'm not dying...!

"Old man! Come on, run!

Lambert swung the great sword up to its maximum, swinging diagonally down from his belly at once.

A black shadow sounded like it could be crushed by Lambert's sword and bounced with Papan.

The water splash rises and Lambert becomes invisible.

When the splash subsided, the black shadow appearance was gone already.

"This time, did you...?

Lambert crouched on the spot and grabbed and lifted something like a crushed gut in his hand.

"It's slime, this is the nucleus. It was a little quick, so I hit it off."

"Ah... you were surprised for once"

From Fiona, Lambert just seemed calmly smashed, but at first he was somewhat relieved to hear that he was surprised.

(Even strong people who are so monstrously stained can be surprised... After all, you're the same person. I'm a little relieved)

No, it is undead.

"Oh, old man, is that, like, a mutated slime...?

"No, I stare that I'm a slime modified in people's hands. If you are a normal slime, if you lose half of your body, even if it is not nucleus, your motor function will be greatly reduced for a while. Being able to jump instantly at the same rate is too convenient to see as a mutation."

Lily opened her eyes to Lambert's words.

"Oh, no! Making demons is like a god or a demon..."

"I guess there was a fool who stepped in there. There may be more dangerous things hidden than this, and I cannot retreat. We cannot leave such demons unattended for the future of this Legious kingdom. We must dispose of it as soon as possible."

Lambert lowered the sword to the ground and looked back at Fiona and the others.

"Why are you following me? I told you to go back."

"No, it looks like strange people were following me from behind... the..."

"... oh, because of that"

Lambert was also an undead trait, and their position was grasped, as they could feel the animal's vitality.

Some strange people are going through the labyrinth scattered.

But I wasn't so vigilant because I thought it might be someone I didn't have enough to take.

More than that, he was full of wisdom about Domillione.

"I can get rid of this one in a little while. Don't leave me until then."

"This is comforting..."

Lloyd was astonished by the power of Lambert, who had just said so lightly.

I can't feel any feelings of fear or surprise from Lambert when he says that he stands in a dungeon inhabited by unidentified demons and that an enemy of unknown power is moving to surround this one in a group.

"Sorry for the inconvenience..."

"I don't mind. I'm a little concerned, too, and my horizons seem narrower... hmm?

Lambert jumped all the way to Lily as she separated words along the way, grabbing her shoulder and punching her next to Lily's face with the opposite hand.

"Khaaaaah!

Lily, who usually has a small mouth count, also screamed just about at this.

Her hair is disturbed by Lambert's fist pressure.

The arm pulled by Lambert was wet in black liquid, with the nucleus of the example slime crushed in its hand.

"Some of them seem to be lurking in the water downstairs. It's a little hard to grasp the signs while you're on standby, it looks like you should move pretty hard."

…………

Lily snorted silently twice.

Lambert walks ahead again, keeping consciousness around him.

"Mr. Lambert, once on the ground, I want you to come up..."

Lily calls out to Lambert's back.

As Lambert looked back about half his body, he shook his head small and turned back forward again.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want the Lord of the Labyrinth to understand that I stepped in here. It would be impossible to break through first if we were to be fully prepared. I don't know if anyone will inherit his will, or if someone is simply using the institute, or if the demons are just raging... at worst, I want to end it within today"

When I finished, I started walking down the road again.

"This... I think it might be better to go back..."

Lloyd shrugged so as if he'd given up half the time, looking at Lambert's back.
