Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

Labyrinth Nightmare ②

"Hmm. This is definitely where the ground dragon carcass we heard about, isn't it?

"Yes, it should be."

"Brilliantly nothing."

We were coming to a large passage called the Great Passage.

Because there were reports of encounters with example demons here.

But I discovered the nest that there was a carcass of the earth dragon, but there was nothing left in it.

No.

To be precise, should it be said that there was nothing but wreckage, such as hard areas, which appeared to be eating cusses?

I'll check the nest again.

As far as the impurities attached to the yarn and how they were in the nest, it seemed better to see that this place was abandoned.

There was no sign of it being used.

"Apparently, you moved the nest location."

"Right. Then we'll just have to look for it."

"Right."

Then we spent a few days searching the perimeter carefully.

But I couldn't discover what a demon looked like.

"None."

"That's crazy. House of Conductors. Do you have any other idea where you're not looking around here?

The four guides opened their mouths after much thought.

"Nearby, there is a path leading to the middle tier. Maybe that demon has gone to the middle class?

"But when it comes to spider demons, they should be vulnerable to fire. I think that line is thin, and I've ignored it so far"

I see.

It's unlikely, but not without.

Speaking of the middle layer of the Great Labyrinth of Ellow, he says it's a hell of a heat wave full of magma all around him.

It's impossible to explore to the middle tier without equipment.

Considering the food and the fatigue caused by the daily surveys, it is certainly time to pull.

"Okay. Now let's investigate the path that leads to that middle class and return if nothing"

That is how we were guided and went down that path.

"Wow!?

One of the leading guides solidifies in a screaming, unnatural outfit.

"What's up?

"I don't know. What is this? I can't move."

"Wait!"

Master Ronant pulls off another guide who tries to approach him inadvertently.

"Let the light shine and behold. Very hard to see, but the yarn is stretched"

Follow Lord Ronant's words and I stare too.

Sure, I see something like a yarn that reflects light from time to time.

"What's this?

"I might have pulled a hit."

If you look closely, the shape of the yarn is beautiful radial.

It was the specific shape of a spider's nest.

"Somebody, cut the thread with your sword and help you"

One of the soldiers waves down his sword to rescue the guide caught in the thread.

But.

"Ooh. Can't cut it"

Master Ronant leaks his admiration.

The sword waved down by the soldier, like the conductor, had stopped with it caught on the thread.

The soldier manages to pull his sword out of the thread, but he is not even scared.

"Guidance, you may be hot, but bear with me."

"Yes, sir"

Master Ronanto uses the magic of fire.

Accurate operation, does not cause injury to the guide, only burn the yarn around him.

It should have been.

"Hmm? Hard to burn?

I know it was some junior magic, but that thread, which should have been said to be vulnerable to fire, remained without burning.

"We're going to increase the firepower."

From Lord Ronant, the flames gush against the yarn.

In a dark cave, dazzling light overflows.

"Ahhh, I made you too strong"

The conductor scorched some of his clothes but managed to escape.

The problem is that the flames are filling the back of the aisle.

"I did it."

"Yeah. If the landlord was in the back, he'd be mad."

In that case, we can no longer hope for a friendly attitude.

It becomes virtually impossible to nostalgic.

"Hopefully, this place was also abandoned."

"It doesn't seem like it. Doing all this and not coming out means you're either on the go or you're not using it here anymore."

I hope so.

If the rumors of the adventurer are true, the rumored spider says he is walking wide inside the labyrinth.

Moreover, eighty-nine metastases are used.

I've never even heard of demons that can use metastases with few things even people can use.

Sometimes it can be that I happen to be on the go and come back with a metastasis at this moment right now.

"Everybody, just make sure you're ready for battle. Whatever happens, you have to be able to handle it."

Tell that to the soldiers.

The yarn burns out and the fire goes out.

Follow the path of extinction of the fire with caution.

The yarn burned but spread over a fairly wide area.

"Somewhat hard to burn, but once it's on fire, is it brittle?"

"Yeah. Sounds like it. Looks like it burned a lot deeper."

Take a fairly wide range of paths to call it a nest and exit into a place like a large square.

"What is this place?

"It's the entrance to the middle floor."

The conductor answers.

Well, I do have enthusiasm if you ask me.

The road ahead seems to be slowly downhill.

"Hmm?"

There, something happened.

It was hard to see because it's downhill, but it's a pretty big one.

Everybody, stand down.

Form a line and approach it carefully.

I refrain from joining Master Ronant and the guide and take the appraisal stone out of my nostalgia.

"Hmm. Appraisal stone. Level is nine."

"The role of summoner, appraisal, is indispensable. Did Master Ronant have an appraisal?

"Mm-hmm. Level nine."

"That's awesome. I have gained proficiency and reached level 3 due to my frequent use of appraisal stones as well, but 9 and so on very very, very"

"Between witchcraft, a little. At this age, it's finally nine. Usually you'd better use an appraisal stone."

"Right. So, what about that one?

What I show.

It's a giant spider demon, its carcass.

"Arctalatect's carcass, bye."

Arctalatect.

Mythical over-s ranked demons, demons under one of the Queen Taratects.

The degree of danger is S.

That's what I was breathless about in an unbroken way.

"And you see it? There are some signs of being eaten."

My eyes had a distance and I didn't know that far, but Master Ronant seemed to see that.

"That means that there are beings who bury arctalatects and even prey on them"

It's frightening.

Predating S-rank demons?

You think there might be such a thing?

If I bowl it with such a demon.

No.

No matter how many elite troops you lead and how many of the best wizards of the people are, there is no winning chance of such a non-standard existence.

We should withdraw.

But that decision was slow.

Nightmare's righteousness has been shifting.
