Instant Death

Demonic crusade chosen by the Sage candidates as a feat to be accomplished.

This was chosen for passive reasons.

Whatever they tell me to stop the invasion of the Empire is vague. I don't even know how to stand around a nation against them, and killing people is inevitable if it comes to being involved in a war. No matter how belligerent the psychology, it was hesitant.

In contrast, the Demon Crusade was easy to understand. They say there is a demon god in the lower reaches of this king's capital. It's just a matter of going there and knocking it down, and it's clear what needs to be done and there's nothing to get lost in. Besides, only demons created by demons appear on the road. If your enemies are not people, you don't have to hesitate. You'll be able to do your best.

The outcome of the Leaders' Conference was announced with a decision on the future course of action. Each group was assigned tasks such as gathering information and securing the necessary supplies, so that they were prepared first.

And the day after the glimpse.

We were to conduct reconnaissance in groups 1 to 5 first.

Then Night Mist and Chichika would also mean waiting groups, but the need to measure their strength first meant that they were supposed to participate in Operation Demonic Reconnaissance this time.

Chichika is a group 1, and Night Mist is a group 2 formation.

The environment inside the demonic world is varied, but the vicinity of the entrance is not large enough to act. For this reason, many of those called Explorers (Explorers) who explore the demonic world and eliminate demons acted in groups of about six, and the Sage candidates were supposed to mimic it.

The entrance to the demonic realm beneath the royal castle was strictly controlled.

The entrance and exit are in all parts of the Wang capital, and access to the demonic realm itself is not restricted, because this is a direct connection to the royal castle.

For this reason, I couldn't go in and out with all of them, but I was supposed to go in order from group to group.

To its entrance, it is separated by several rooms. If anything happens, we're trying not to have a direct impact on the Imperial Castle.

Start by entering the demonic realm from Group 1. The rendezvous point was the room just before the entrance, and Chichika came last.

"You're dressed for zero otherworldly senses!

Chichichika, who saw the faces of Group 1, said so most of all at the opening.

Akino Aoi, who is in a position to head the Sage candidate and the leader of this group, was dressed like a stage costume, such as Idol.

"This is pretty much the same clothes I wore live."

I suppose it's exactly what I admired for her. The flashy costumes that the average person could not wear were really tame.

"How did you prepare that... So, what's that about Carol?

Carol S. Lane was wearing a red, flashy ninja outfit. He's equipped with forehead, ninja knives, etc., so he seems to be able to fight better than the sky, but I don't think he's very defensive.

"Because it's Ninja!

"Be careful! Melt in the dark!

"Pfft! That's a lot of scratch. How many times do you think I've been told that before?

"If you think so, improve it!... So, I won't stick around anymore, but what's that about Ermiya?

Reiko Ermiya was dressed like two bottles in a feather. I heard in advance that the class was samurai, but I guess that's the way it's dressed. They look great in men's clothing.

"Excuse me. I, too, am out-of-the-box to think that I'm dressed like this... there's something called costume correction."

The point was that there is something called the right equipment for each class, and that proper equipment improves status and skills.

"Uh, I guess that's what I most think it means to be kidding..."

"I think it's the idol."

It was Yukata Otani who said sorry. She is dressed as a Cheer Girl and has even a pom pom in both hands.

These four were members of the current Group 1, this time consisting of five people who added Chichika.

"No, but guys, defense is paper, right? I don't know what a demon looks like, but if it bites you, you keep drilling, right?

From now on, I didn't think I was dressed to challenge the demonic lair.

"This is still defensive. Well, I don't think there's much like eating an attack."

The sky dressed as an idol doesn't look as if it's strong, but it seemed confident when it came to combat.

"Chichika is in the mood, isn't she! What's that? Ameco? SF?"

"I'm not dressed like this because I want to too..."

Carol asked in an intriguing way.

Chichika's whole body is covered in perfectly sticky clothes like leotards. It is made of black, honeycomb construction material and covers all the way to the fingertips without gaps. On top of that, he wore a black coat that was all the way around his thighs.

These are made of substances obtained from giant robot invaders (aggressors). The shape can be freely set, so it was designed as a protective device.

'If it's true, I'd have liked to cover your face, too. Well, it's partly braided in the hair, so it can handle some attacks on the head'

"Now that I've covered my face, I think I'm a pervert..."

Whether it was a self-confidence piece or not, this one was a fluke.

"I see. That's your class. Is it the power of the egoistic blacksmith, the selfish blacksmith?"

"Ha..."

The sky is impressed, but Chichika laughed powerlessly and deceived.

Chichika described her class as a selfish blacksmith, Egoistic Blacksmith. I can create weapons and protective equipment, but it's only for me and I can't give it to anyone else. It was such a setup.

In fact, it is possible to lend it to others, but without this side, no fine adjustments can be made. It's a hassle, so I decided to insist that Chika be dedicated.

"That's right, I can make mine myself, but how did you prepare something like this, like an idol or a ninja?

"This was made by Harufuji, from Group 3. Because her class is seamstress (dressmaker)"

According to the Ethereal Sky description, a seamstress is free to create clothes as long as there is a cloth to be made of. They can also add a variety of effects to their clothes, not just make them. It was said to be quite useful as a creative class.

"I see. Harudo was good at that in the sewing department, and what? If that's the connection, my class..."

"Oh yeah. I just want to help myself. I feel like I've expressed myself in a class."

"You have a bad image!

As Carol says, that's probably what it seemed to everyone in the class.

"Well no. I'm the last one, right? You're just gonna go?

"No. This is the first time, so the guide will accompany you. - Looks like you're here."

The sky sees the entrance to the room. The door opened and a man came in wrapped in silver armor.

"Long time no see. Mr. Tannoura."

"Huh? Mr. Rick?

What came was Rick, who had acted together in a canyon tower. I mean, it was the current sword saint.

Group 2 consisted of four people: Phoenix, Takashi Yazaki, Seiichi Fukai, and Masaya Oxo, where Night Mist was to participate temporarily.

Fengchun's class is a consultant and specializes in information analysis. It is unclear if that explanation alone will allow us to carry out the battle, but I guess we can fight more than we belong to Group 2.

Takashi Yazaki was a general (general) and used a variety of tactics during combat. Is it because he's a general, wearing metallic boneless armor? The others remain school uniforms, by the way.

Seiichi Fukai is a reaper, and he can use instant death magic. Whether it's because of that ability or because we were originally poorly connected, classmates seem to be distancing us. Most of all, the night fog couldn't tell you about people because of their poor relationship.

Masaya Ox is an erotic master. I can't immediately associate my abilities with that class name, but I can stop what I touch. It could also be used by people, and the side used said it felt like time had flown. Having a provocative attitude towards the king is new to my memory, but the fingers cut at that time have been treated.

And the other one. As a guide, David the Guard was accompanying him. He was a deputy captain who rubbed at the entrance to Wang Du and fought Chika.

David said it was his first time into the demonic world, too, but he seems to have knowledge of the internal environment. When it comes to why such an unreliable figure is a guide, it's because he's the one who leads the royal family.

"Royalty has the power to seal it. This is the greatest reason why the king's blood can continue to rule this country."

The royal family had the power to weaken the gift, and that power also applied to demons in the demonic world.

It seems, of course, that there will be individual differences in the size and scope of power and that those with the most powerful powers will be kings.

"So you were going on a big boat. A low-level demon would be able to complete it with my help."

"No, that's troubling me. Because it also has the purpose of measuring our strength. Is it possible to contain the power?

"Of course that is. Then I wonder if I should show you where the demons are."

Ask proud David that the Spring Man is easy. He was the leader of this group. He is also a representative of the men's side.

Group 2 was walking the first layer of the demonic world. This is a cave where rock skin is peeled out, about three metres wide and tall in passage. That's what's so complicated about branching. Without guidance, you will soon be lost.

The demonic realm was bright. There are lights on the top of the cave. There was a metal stick poking around, and its tip was blurry and glowing.

"That's absorbing trace amounts of soul drifting around and emitting light. It's one of the Explorers' jobs to install a torch in an attacked area."

In other words, where there are lights, they are relatively safe, and the attacked areas are also mapped.

Follow David's guide and walk silently.

Moving on for a while, there was abruptly a space of nothing. It's so vast that you can't see ahead.

"I know you're looking into it beforehand. Shall I explain? This demonic realm has a soaked bowl structure. I mean, what we're walking on right now is just a little bit on the edge of the demon world."

Every layer was predicted to have a circular ring about ten kilometres wide. One layer will be slightly smaller with a diameter of 140 km and two layers with a diameter of 120 km, and the last seventh layer will be circular with a diameter of about 20 km.

The night fogs were taken aback by the sudden sight, but he quickly regained his mind and walked out.

Straight ahead, the ground is gone and it's a cliff. If David explains it, there must be a similar place across the street, but that's 120 kilometers long. I couldn't even see it.

If you look down at the cliff, there's just darkness out there. It's almost vertical, so it'll be hard to get down here without any gear.

"Hell appearing in the Divine Song was such a structure. I hear it's made up of nine layers."

Spring man would refer to the writings of the Italian poet, Dante. The night fog reminded me of a game inspired by the Hell's Edition of the Divine Song.

"Hey. Does that mean you can reach the center if you fly diagonally here?

"That's what they say. In fact, there are quite a few unsuspecting searchers who did it, but none have returned. So basically we're going to move to the lower tier looking for an entrance that leads to the next tier."

"What's the height to the lower hierarchy?

They say it's about a kilometer.

"Oh no... we can't get there!

When the night fog was checking with David, the cowtail freshly disappeared.

"It's gonna take you a while to act like an idiot just to get around! How am I supposed to get to a demon god like this?

"There's no way you can go, is there? We've only reached three levels, too."

"What?"

The cow tail makes a pompous face. Seemed pretty easy to think about.

"Bulltail. I knew that when I checked the demon world structure. You weren't listening."

The Spring Man tells me like he was frightened.

"Most of all, we weigh more on defense than on demon attacks. Essentially, it's enough because we keep interrupting demons up to about two levels, and those who earn money from demon extermination can make enough money from it. That's why there's not so much merit in going below the three layers."

A demon crusade that seemed easier than stopping an imperial invasion, but the future seemed difficult.
