You've saved yourself a lot of time with a non-boss monster.

Apparently, the difficulty of this hierarchy is higher than it looks.

The dungeon jumps in difficulty every five levels.

The 20th to 21st layers are just the boundaries where the difficulty increases.

When the fight was over and breathing was over, he said his thoughts.

"Speaking of which, Neme Unnie. Did you feel like you were fighting and your spelling wasn't good?"

"If you ask me, I feel like that ... ??? I didn't ... ??

"Which is it ..."

It is an answer that cannot be boiled.

Did she not notice any spelling changes?

Or am I wrong?

"Isn't Rozria feeling like that?"

"Yes, it was! I was there! I was really ill! I was coming with Erin, but during the battle," What are you spelling out? " Come on! Is n’t that bad? ”

"That's because you were showing off your fight!"

What a nasty swearing during the battle ...

Aside from Erin's complaining, I talked about the diminished sacred spelling I felt earlier.

"I thought-but what do you think?"

"I felt it too."

And Force. He continues.

"I didn't recover any of the damage from Purgatory.

"Neme doesn't pull out anything!"

"When it comes to that, is it a characteristic of gargoyles? Does it weaken sacred art?"

Jin shows his thoughts while placing his hand on his chin.

"Probably. I can only think so."

"It's a monster that I haven't heard of.

He nodded himself, convinced.

As Jin says, the 21st level has never reached any existing party.

A party has set foot in the past, but no detailed records have been recorded.

What monsters appear on the 21st level and what gimmicks are set up? There was no information.

In addition, the difficulty level of the dungeon jumps every fifth floor.

This hierarchy may require more attention.

When you think about it, changes appear on the map projected in your brain.

"--eh?"

I involuntarily speak out to the change.

"What happened?"

"Disagreeable……"

I don't think the information I got is true, and she responds vaguely to Erin's question.

However, it is a problem that seems to be clear even if you think about it alone.

I responded so everyone could hear.

"I've found the door to the next level ..."

"Eh, I haven't searched for 30 minutes yet."

"That's right ..."

I thought something similar to Erin.

No matter how much you capture this level too soon.

We have just begun exploring this hierarchy, and have encountered monsters only once.

Even worse, they did not engage with the middle boss, which appeared newly from the 16th level.

Until now, dungeons have been struggling, but it's the first time I've been able to capture so easily.

I can't see the presence of the boss room, and I can't even feel the boss.

If nothing happens and you reach the door location indicated by the skill, it will be a hierarchical capture.

There is also a lack of time signature.

Even at the one level where capture is the easiest, bosses have appeared.

I knew the way to the door by [mapping], but it would be better not to be careful until you can actually see it.

As before, the statue may suddenly become a monster and attack.

Presence detection by Enemy does not affect the statue.

That means you can be surprised.

In the first place, it is possible that the door you found is a dummy.

If you have 21 levels, you can be convinced even if there are such evil tricks.

"Is it over? 21st level is not a big deal!"

"Don't get too sick"

A chop visits the brains of Neme.

She rubbed her head and stared at her.

"What are you doing?"

"It's because Neme unnie tells you something to be careful. Please do a little more."

"That's exactly what Note says.

"It doesn't seem meaningful even if I pay more attention to Neme-san ..."

"Unusually you agreed, Rosria"

"Both of us are making fools of fools. We can do them if they want to do it seriously!"

"Really?"

The Force turns his gaze into a nemesis.

I tried to say something, but my vision changed and I stopped speaking.

"That's the door to the next level?"

In the direction Erin was pointing, there was a staircase that glowed in purple, similar to the sun at this level.

Beyond that, there was always a door to the familiar next level.

"Yes, but--

I can understand Rosria's feelings.

In front of the stairs with doors, a large black statue was standing.

The height may be about 4m.

Slender limbs. A slender humanoid. And evil horns and wings.

Its intellectual look is often the very devil that humans envision.

The bronze statue was upright with only the toes of his right foot bent like a tree trunk.

Both arms carry something like a sword.

A blade that glows in purple like the sun and stairs.

There appeared letters like a worm crawling there.

The size of the sword is slightly larger for human use, but the statue is large, making it look small.

If the statue wields a sword, wouldn't it be easy to handle with one hand?

"Maybe a magic sword or something ..."

Jin muttered that his sword had an unseen presence.

"... a magic sword?"

"It's a sword with a special power. You can think of it as akin to the Purgatory of the Force."

Move your eyes to the face of the demon statue.

Probably that statue is the boss of this hierarchy.

Search Enemies can't tell you, but you can say with certainty.

The boss itself was the appearance that hindered the door, and the unusual sign that it produced showed its power.

As you approach the door, the statue will become a monster and your tusks will open.

I am worried that there is no boss room, but it might be such a gimmick from the 21st floor.

"What will you do?"

Ask Jin.

What the bronze statue is holding is a threat if Jin calls a magic sword.

Even in Purgatory, it is a level of fear that is friendly, but it is appalling if the enemy wants it.

There is also the possibility that the enemy's magic sword will perform better than purgatory.

"I have no choice but to do anything. Fortunately this isn't exhausted and it's in perfect condition.

With that said, Jin took a step.

Neme and Erin wait on the spot.

Roslia and the Force are also in front, and I stay in a standing position, back and forth.

`` Constant Recovery (High Regenerate) '', `` Flag of the War God (Rise Up) '', `` All Army Assault (Full Attack) '', `` Hug of the Guardian God (Guardian Protect) '', `` Invincible Fortress (Fortress) ), Blessed Saints

Neme finishes the buff spell as usual.

Lozria then fired Light up, preparing to get the target.

Complete preparation for war.

After building the best formation of "Arrivals", the Force came forward.

At that moment, the eyes of the statue glow red.

An overwhelming storm of hostility blew.

The black body of the statue is cracked, and the fragments become dust and spill.

Ground noise that shakes the atmosphere. Heavy bass resounds to the bone marrow.

The sound of the devil taking a step forward.

The wings start to waver, increasing the intimidation of the giant.

A deep sleeping monster that adventurers have been unable to access for many years has just awoke.

The Force runs out of Purgatory.

Lozria escapes to the left and draws the light of Light Up to draw the devil's attention.

Jin follows from behind the force.

A series of words that can only be recognized as noise is spun from the mouth of the opposing devil.

High-speed chanting of magic. I noticed that the purple light film spread around the magic sword.

The area where the color has changed is developed in an instant.

Even the back of our point was wrapped around.

At the moment when the territory is eroded, grazing and gravity are applied to the body.

It feels as if you've been wearing all the exhilaration and versatility you've worn.

Decrease in physical ability? Debuff or something?

As you try to figure out what happened, you notice something.

The light of Rozria's Light Up is extinguished.

Not only that. Even the aura of "Neighborhood Recovery (High Regeneration)" by Neme had disappeared.

Or rather, all buff spells are .

Completely disable sacred art spells. Such words pass in my head.

He assumed that spell attenuation was a unique ability of the gargoyle he encountered earlier.

But no. That gargoyle's ability was just a degraded version, and the head family belonged to the devil in front of him.

In fact, Neme shakes his wand to respell, but there is no change.

You can only hear the cane cutting through the sky.

The consciousness is returned to the approaching sign.

why. In the meantime So close. A black shadow comes.

Devil passing overhead. Jump over my body in a breath and approach the rear guard, Erin and Neme.

I can't keep up with sudden events.

The target was lost because Light Up was canceled.

Only slow thoughts pass through my head to think more now.

Hurry and release the killing, but the thinly prepared killing will not distract the enemy's attention.

Erin puts his magic on his wand and prepares to launch an attack spell, and the devil's eyes are poured on Erin.

A magical sword that shimmered with youth was swung up.

At the moment, the world seemed to have stopped.

I have to do something. But somehow.

Time starts moving, even while I'm confused.

The demon shook his sword in a large way, as if he were involved in the neme next to Erin.

Dust rolls up. My vision is gray and I can't see anything.

However, a shadow was emitted as if it was being exhaled from the smoke.

That's Jin. I knew that Jin was blown away by the alertness.

When the smoke cleared, a black film was spreading in front of the devil.

The film forms an amoeba-like structure, creating a barrier.

That is a metal shield made of [shape change / mineral].

It was an instant because it was the same metal as the dagger.

"Jin! Cover us!"

Erin's scream. Understand the situation immediately.

The attack aimed at the rear-guard Erin was apparently diverted by Jin.

However, he seemed unable to deflect intact.

Jin has been blown away by a demon attack.

what will you do?

Erin and others are not in the safe area yet. The devil is just around the corner.

Danger is still imminent.

There is no choice but to do. Now that Jin has left and Roslia's spell cannot be relied on.

I draw the devil's attention.

Releases "Killing" with full power and looks back at the devil.

―― Fake and Shadow

Neme recovery spells cannot be used. You know, that's it.

Devil's sword speed was extraordinary. If you don't take it seriously, you can't avoid it.

I do my best here without worrying about recoil.

Dancing in the air. A magic sword passes between the body and the ground.

A momentary moment. If I hadn't thought anything and had not jumped reflexively, I wouldn't have made it.

The left hand that does not hold the sword is swung down.

<< Withdrawal (withdraw) >>. Leap of all power.

The reaction was slightly delayed. Or rather, the attack is too fast.

Succumb to the shocking waves.

He held his hands in front of his arms to prevent the flying stones.

Purple flash from sand smoke. Pursuit comes flying.

I don't know what attacks will come or how far.

However, avoidance is left to survival instinct.

The sword cut off the space just a few centimeters away.

The next blow cannot be avoided.

I was watching the trajectory of the magic sword approaching the ground.

Just before the moment of impact where power is collected.

Sparks scatter. Force.

With a black sword, he was blocking the devil's sword fight.

There is a black flame on the arm and arm.

That is a recoil that passed Purgatory. Purgatory, a sword, burns the user.

There is no continuous recovery spell for Neme.

There is no way to last long in a deserted battle.

"Note! Leave it to me and give instructions to everyone! Let's get ready!"

Even if that is said ...

Look around immediately.

Roslia is embarrassed and swims, and Erin is sitting behind a metal shield.

Neme swings her cane so hard that she can squeeze out a spell that she can't afford.

What is this? What is going on? Why in such a predicament.

I know that the situation does not improve with upset.

But what should I do?

What are the instructions? Why me?

Do the force.

-If you have a gin.

I can't help thinking that.

That's it. Jin. First, returning Jin to the front line is top priority.

Jin should have been damaged.

I don't know where they were, but I'll be back if I can recover.

Fortunately, the boss's activated sacred spell invalidation zone is not that large.

Nem recovery spells should be useful if you are out of range.

"Neme! Below the gin! Recover!"

"Alone?"

That's exactly what she says. Jin was blown far back.

You may run into a gargoyle before you reach the name.

As long as they're in the form of a statue, it's awkward to catch them.

I don't know where I'm lurking, so I can't let him go alone.

"Let's follow Rosria!"

"But spelling!"

She was still in confusion.

If the spells you relied on suddenly stop working, you can be confused.

If I suddenly cannot use arts, I may be upset even during the battle.

"[The Holy Sword Leader] can't use Fractus."

Rozria turned his sword to his right hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm fine! I'll follow Neme!"

She ran the holy sword in one hand. Neme follows it.

Rozria's combat strength, with the sacred spells sealed, will be visibly reduced by half.

I don't know if I'm attacking a gargoyle, a 21-level monster, alone.

But the Force is full of boss attention.

Due to the reaction of Purgatory, the situation was quite difficult.

If it's dangerous, I have to follow.

Only Erin would be relatively free.

Even if her rear guard is on, she cannot be a shield when a gargoyle appears.

At present, there is only Roslia who can follow Neme.

I didn't know that the party wouldn't go around just because Jin wasn't there.

There was a popping sound between the metals.

The Force has been beaten and the whole body has been flipped.

Put your sword on the ground and hold it up to keep your body balanced.

"What is this guy .... It's too strong ..."

I understand that he muttered so.

The boss in the 21st layer is very strong.

Not only speed, but strength is not odd.

If you try to avoid it lightly, you will be caught in a shock wave and will likely be attacked by the next attack.

The Force was defeated. I'm not even winning in speed.

The situation where even the sacred art spell is sealed by such an opponent.

Honestly, I can't see a vision to win.

"The Curse Technique!”

Erin fires a restricted-action spell, deciding that it's hard to beat the enemy in front of him.

Chains made of magic made the giant bodies tangled.

Just like in the gargoyle, it seems that the only thing that is restricted is the spells of priestly battle spells (battle style).

Good aim, Erin.

I'm thankful for earning time several times more than for power-oriented attacks.

However, the opponent is the boss on the 21st level. You can't completely block movements with restraint spells.

The chain had already made a screaming sound due to the devil's opposition.

Shredding is also a matter of time.

Turn your eyes to the Force. The collapsed position had already been rebuilt.

It is likely to return to the battle.

Even if the restraint spell is released right away, it will work.

However, the effects of the curse of Purgatory are tremendous.

The black flame spread throughout the body. Erosion that seems painful up to this point.

Will not have that long.

If the Force can't fight, it's finally over.

Then it's my job to attract the devil's attack.

It won't last long.

In the last few seconds of exchange, the difference in ability with the opponent was visible.

There's even a time limit for the reaction of Fake and Shadow to fall.

The chain of magical power burst, with a series of sounds like curses.

Heterogeneous and irregular eyes catch Erin.

He unleashed Killing and ran at full speed.

He succeeded in drawing the devil's attention from Erin.

But waiting for a demon attack like a storm.

I move my body crazy, but I can do a few hits.

Above it is absolutely impossible.

The moment he thought he was going to attack, the Force came back again.

Erin casts a restraint spell without a break.

However, the demon suddenly showed a jumping behavior, which made it difficult.

The restraint is released in seconds.

Really bad. If this is the case, all three will be killed.

What should I do? Is there any way to recover from this predicament?

No matter how much you think, there will be no breakthrough solution.

In the first place, the difference in ability is too far away. Inferior in ground strength.

It's not a friendly person who can overturn everything with one idea.

The Force is overwhelming.

The flame that burns the body is swirling and burning itself.

The time limit may be much shorter than expected.

All in a few seconds. There is such a possibility.

Looking at the Force's appearance as if sucked, it seemed to be approaching at high speed.

moment. A black shadow falls on the battlefield.

"I'm sorry.

What was there was Jin wearing Zekage.
