The "Arrivals" who updated the highest attainment level the other day, worked for dungeon search today.

The location is 17 levels. It is another mysterious hierarchy of islands floating in the sky.

There were bridges and floating small rocks between the various floating islands, which made it possible to come and go.

Navigating through the islands will lead you to the 18th level door.

At present, the "Arrivers" were searching for this level rather than trying to capture this level.

At 16 levels, there were some places where it was hit and the party members were torn apart.

At the 17th level, they decided to start their full-fledged capture after taking advantage of their reflections and properly examining the characteristics of the levels.

However, it is the present situation that the plan of the end was wasted.

While defeating the monster, while exploring the state of the hierarchy, I was suddenly attacked by a middle boss who appeared from the sky.

Before he noticed, he stepped into the area where the middle boss appeared.

Standing up is a muscular monster with wings.

The body is several times larger than we humans, with six arms and two legs.

The head has a horned bone helmet and seems to be sturdy.

Above the muscles is what appears to be a blood vessel, which is covered with gray skin.

At present, we are struggling with those who can reach the monsters that can only be described as monsters.

"!"

Jin avoids the punch fed out from the middle boss.

Then, two strikes and a light slash are given.

And he decided that he couldn't step further, so he cast Withdraw and took the distance.

Other members can only watch the battle.

It was impossible to participate even if you wanted to participate in the battle.

The reason is that we are currently fighting the middle boss.

The moment the middle boss was attacked, unfortunately, we were jumping over a rocky swarm to cross the islands.

Thus, Arrivers were forced to fight on rocks with poor scaffolding.

The island with floating rocks is a long distance from here.

It seems that the boss is difficult to withdraw because the appearance is very mobile.

And another reason that keeps the party stuck is the overwhelming trap on the scaffold.

This level had an unusually large number of traps.

So, until now, I had been carefully moving through the traps, but it was time for a middle boss attack.

Floating rocks and scaffolds are bad, and traps are set up here and there.

In the meantime, the only boss who could compete with the middle boss was a mobile attacker and a gin that could use trap-releasing arts.

The Force and Roslia could have been able to help without traps.

However, if you accidentally step on a trapped rock, you will not be able to do just that.

Erin, who could launch a long-range attack with or without a trap, was currently out of luck.

The boss, meanwhile, also launches long-range attacks in a contradiction to the appearance that specializes in close combat.

He wanted to fly wings and throw rocks as scaffolds.

Since there is no avant-garde other than Jin, if Erin is targeted, it will be a troublesome development.

For security, Erin decided not to go out of his way.

If you list the disadvantages of such a party, it seems that "The Arrivers" are in great trouble, but the real situation is not.

Currently Jin was alone with the middle boss.

Jin keeps damaging the middle boss while reducing traps on the scaffold one after another using Trap Release.

He had to deal with traps while fighting, so the attack density was lower than usual, but the fight was still dominant.

The wound is gradually carved into the monster's body.

If you keep fighting as it is, someday the middle boss will fall.

However, it is also true that the situation will be turned upside down if Jin hits with a single attack.

I don't think his slender body can withstand the brute force attack of the monster.

The end of the fight depended on whether Jin cut the middle boss first or Jin's stamina was cut and attacked first.

In order to reduce the burden on Jin as much as possible, I have to turn off traps in remote places so as not to get involved in the battle.

Don't get in the way of Jin.

And make sure the target doesn't turn to me.

Ascertaining the target of the monster came to me as I dipped into the dungeon.

I also have Search Enemies, and I can tell to some extent which monsters are aiming at whom.

While confirming that the target is not suitable for you, turn off the sign with Stealth.

Then, with Trap Release, the traps that had been deployed around were erased.

All right. If it goes as it is, it works.

It was the moment I thought so.

The monster began to shout loudly.

My eardrum hurts. Hold the ears with both hands in a hurry.

Jin's hand stopped for a moment in the roar.

In less than a second, the target of the middle boss moves from Jin to Erin, who is waiting behind him.

Perhaps because Rosria did not activate the Target Focus Arts as usual. Did he just stand bad?

I don't know the exact reason, but it was probably a coincidence.

The flapping monster threw a nearby scaffold toward Erin.

She is also a leading mage.

It reacts to it immediately.

"

Deployed a spelled barrier in front of himself.

-That's no good.

I jump on the scaffold and run under Erin.

――But it is.

"Avoid! Erin! A trap is on!"

The trapped rock was hidden behind a trap that was delayed.

My sprint was empty, and the rock that flew hit the barrier stretched by Erin.

――Tsu

The light emitted from the rock enveloped me, both of me who ran with Erin.

Open your eyes.

--eh?

He blinks many times in a hurry at the scene in front of him, but no change is seen.

Apparently it was not wrong.

The boss who had been fighting just before disappeared, and even Jin, who was fighting it, could not be found.

On the contrary, there is no Force, Neme or Rosria.

Only Erin was nearby.

She seems to be puzzled by the current situation.

The number of blinks was strangely increasing.

-Or rather, where? here?

Now I had no idea where I was.

The sight in front of you is different from the floating island you had just walked over, and it looks like a building.

Is it in some archeological site?

The wall was lightly lit by candles hanging on the wall.

"What's going on ...?"

I don't know why we got into this situation.

Why am I here?

How did you come?

The answer to those questions, which I never remembered, was that I could only think of my memory.

Then I heard Erin's voice from the neighbor.

"Probably a transfer trap ..."

"Transfer trap?"

"Yes, it looks like a trap that forces the trapped object to move somewhere ..."

The room that looks like an archeological site is far away from the scenery where the middle boss was fighting.

A small rock room.

There are passages at both ends, and candle flames are lit on the wall at regular intervals.

Something was written on the illuminated wall, and a plant ivy swirled over it.

Indeed, the correct answer is to think that you were sent somewhere else.

Erin's guess seemed right.

"It's a pretty bad situation-"

"I'm sorry. It's my mistake. I didn't notice the trap-"

"That's not what I meant in that sense. That couldn't be helped ... it was like an unpredictable disaster ..."

"Thank you for following, but it's my responsibility."

Erin looks down sorry.

It will not be worthwhile to clarify where responsibility lies, so we will switch topics.

"I need to join the jins soon anyway. I'm worried that I can't feel everyone's sign nearby."

Search Enemies did not find any companions.

The only thing I discovered was a sign of a rather powerful monster.

"Yes. [Mapping] What about your skills? Where did you find any clues?"

"Nothing at all. But I couldn't find any traces of the island that I just saw, so I think I was sent to a completely different place."

[Mapping] is a skill to auto-map 1km around you.

However, the area near the current location was not reflected on the map except for a circle with a radius of 1 km.

The only thing that emerges in the brain is a maze-like path within a 1km radius.

"There's no limit to where you can be hit by the transfer trap. I don't know where to go until it is hit. It may be inside or outside the dungeon."

After hearing Erin's explanation, we thought we were lucky.

If he had no idea where he would be thrown, he could have been thrown out into the sea or lava, or even thousands of meters above.

More than that, I feel thankful for being alive now.

"I think you're probably in a dungeon right now, judging by structure and the strength of nearby monsters."

I guess.

Because the inside of the dungeon is isolated from the outside world, the upper and lower spaces are cut off.

If you are in such a place, the map obtained by [Mapping] will be cut vertically.

This sensation would be something you wouldn't understand without the [Mapping] skill.

There is no doubt that there are monsters of such a strength that you would never see on the ground, so it is definitely in a dungeon.

"Then we can meet everyone else. Let's try not to meet as a monster."

It sounded a bit like Erin's voice popping.

Perhaps it was easier to know that there was a possibility to join the party members.

Turn your feet to one of the two paths that extend from the room.

The candles that extended into the aisle seemed to be difficult to see.

Even with the information from Search Enemies, it looks like there are no monsters on the road, and you should follow Erin.

"Wait a minute, Erin"

I remembered a certain thing and stopped her.

"What's wrong?"

Erin stops and looks back a bit frustrated.

"Do you know how to read that?-It's like a dungeon character, it might be a clue to something ..."

With that said, I point to something I found earlier, like a letter on the wall.

The letter was just behind Erin, and she wants to know for the first time by my point.

I turn my face to the one I point.

"..."

As soon as he saw the letter, Erin's eyes widened.

The pupil opens very quickly.

The mouth trembles little by little, and the face turns pale.

"Erin?"

Calls, but does not respond to my voice.

Her focus remains on the letters of the wall.

Something is wrong. I thought so.

When I realized I was naturally shaking Erin's shoulders.

"Hey, Erin! Is it OK!"

――Hah

She was suddenly shaken, and she seemed to remember me.

He is breathing in and out of hyperventilation while ticking his teeth.

"What happened. It's weird. What was it all about?"

"Puyo ... absolutely ......... is determined ..."

"Tell me. What was written?"

"I hate ... I don't believe that ..."

"That's why--"

"Noisy!"

Suddenly, the girl who faints of blood in front of her screams.

"Good. I'll tell you if you want to know so much."

And his mouth slowly opened.

"It was written like" Welcome, here is 20 levels "..."
