Legend

"I can handle it..."

Elaine's voice echoes on the battlefield trail.

At the end of that gaze is the figure of a rare species of water monkey who is desperate by being pierced through his head by a jointed sword. Until a few seconds ago, he was leading a herd of monsters.

Looking around, the monsters, led by their rare species, are dying.

Also, in the woods behind us, the water monkeys, who were towed by Seto, disappear into the woods like they were scattered when they saw their bosses dead.

"Dear Elaine, are you hurt!?

I nod small as I watch Ara come closer to Power Axe in my hand.

"Um, I have no problem. Are you better off than that? I left an unfamiliar axe to my weapon to avant-garde..."

Elaine finds out Elaine is unharmed and confirms how Arla is grinning. From what I've seen, it seems that there are no injuries. I feel safe again.

"Yes, I had some injuries, but it was almost like a scratch, and the injury was healed by Custe's magic."

"... well, Kuste had a hard time too"

Elaine turns to Custe, who walks in to make sure she continues after Arla and speaks.

"No, because recovery is also my role"

I rubbed a lot with Ray about the seed of the commandment, but Custe himself seemed to have no idea about Elaine, who had accepted it.... Yes. Against Elaine.

I sigh unexpectedly when I see Custe staring at Ray, who is approaching me with an abominable eye.

And Ray will also notice that Custe is staring at herself again, as if he doesn't care. He calls out to Elaine without the wind.

"Do you want to go right down to the basement like this? Or take a break here for a while?

"... right, considering we were raided by Lizardman and spiders as soon as we got down on the third basement floor, we should take a break here somewhat. Ray, can you ask Seto to be on perimeter alert?

"Okay."

Ray nods at Elaine's words and walks toward Seto, who is still wary of the woods.

It was Elaine with a headache at the mercy of Ray and Custe as she dropped him off behind it.

"Seto, this time it helped. Here, eat this for now."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ray talks to Seto, who is more vigilant in the woods, without even noticing Elaine haunting her head behind her back.

The dry meat was gripped in his hand, and Seto tucked it into his mouth with a cuckoo as he rattled his throat, and fell asleep to the ground.

Ray was also moisturizing his throat by putting his mouth on the water bottle he had removed from the mistering as he lowered back to the ground and leaned against Seto.

(Now, Elaine herself accepted the Seed of the Commandments. The same would apply to Ara. Even Ver showed her boss an atmosphere of obedience, so she didn't have a problem... and when she did, it was still Custe. It shouldn't be strange to want to do something about me more than oppose it so hard that there was no such thing as "the seed of the commandment". Then you'd better watch your back from now on)

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? As we spent time stroking Seto's head rubbing his face all the time, a footstep came into Ray's ear as someone approached him who was ours.

Since the content I had been thinking about earlier was content, I reached for the death size, which is almost reflexively placed on the ground... I understand who is the owner of the footsteps and stop my hand.

"Ray. I think it's time to leave, but before I do, I'll ask you to collect the monsters you defeated"

Yes, it was Elaine who was closing in.

Ray nods again with a bitter smile back at Elaine, who is smiling bitterly.

"Okay. The basement 5th floor may be a bit harsh at this party as the adventurers told me yesterday that there are a lot of undead..."

"Right, we would have been tough on our own. But like I said at breakfast, this party is lucky to have Ray, who specializes in flaming magic, and Ceto, who can use the firebraces I saw earlier. That would be enough."

Because the basic undead is a lot of people with flames as their weakness, Elaine and the others alone would be at high risk of struggling. Even in that sense, Elaine feels sincerely lucky that Ray was sent to this party.

Ray stands up with Death Size in his hand, even as he hears such Elaine's words. Try to retrieve the monster as directed...... then stop and turn towards Elaine.

"Dear Elaine. I ask you never to forget the matter of 'The Seed of the Commandments'"

I guess that word poked my mind at me. I snort quickly with a funny grin.

"Absolutely. I will always keep the promise I made once in my name. Or what? You think I'm gonna break the promise I made in the name of General Princess?

"No, I don't expect Master Elaine to break it. But you can't say enough about that, can you?

I guess you figured out who Ray was talking about. Turn off the grin that was floating until a few seconds ago and open your mouth.

"I know. Honestly, I didn't think Custe was going to be that tough.... incompatible, should I say? I was often arrogant toward non-aristocrats, but in this case, it feels worse."

"I don't know about that neighborhood, but just understand that if you've been trying to make sure that there wasn't a 'seed of admonition' over there, you're not going to be able to do it with me."

"I don't mind. In my name, I agreed to accept the" seed of the commandments ", and as a result, I was able to dive through the war of attrition. And yet I have no intention of committing any inferior act that would insist that I don't remember making such a promise if my life were in danger. If Custe really wants to get his hands on Ray for it, he can slash it. No, in that case, I promise I'll take my own disposal."

Elaine's eyes were serious when she told me exactly that.

A gaze that is more proud than anyone else, and therefore truly expresses the desire for the same from his own people.

And I guess it's because I saw that gaze. Somewhere out of Ray's body I've been nervous about and confronted with Elaine, I can feel more and more power.

"Okay. Let me believe what Elaine said."

Leave that word and store the Lizardman with the song knife that Elaine defeated in Mystering.

Thereafter, it will also house the rare species of water monkeys and four that appear to be nearby, and all the carcasses of monsters that were on the spot will be stored in mystering as there may be some use even for lower-ranking monsters such as goblins and fangwolves.

Ultimately, only traces of the monster's shed blood or the area where it was slashed were left on the battlefield. They were to be buried on the ground because they could attract other monsters if left in this location.

And the action will end in a paragraph, and we will finally go down to the fifth basement.

"Look, according to the information we got from the adventurers we ran into on the third basement floor, the undead appears on the fifth basement floor. Change the line for that. I can use the avant-garde to ray the magic of flames, Ceto who can throw up firebraces. Me and Ver. Make the rear guard Ara and Custe"

"Um, Master Elaine. The axe is the weapon. I'm the guard..."

It was Arla whining like some trouble, but Elaine shook her head without hesitation.

"What I'm asking of you on this fifth basement floor is to make sure you don't get ambushes from behind. If you're an undead with an entity like a zombie or a skeleton, you're likely to notice it by the sound of footsteps and movement, but the Ghost kind sneaks in without sound. That's why I backed up a sharp Ara and a highly observant Custe."

"Wow, I get it! I will show it to meet Elaine's expectations!

"Oh, I'm counting on you. Custe, okay?

"No problem. I'll take care of the ambush from behind."

Custe nodding with a grin.

As a matter of fact, until the day before yesterday, Elaine was thinking about Custe in the direction of herself and Zhongwei, and Ver in the rear with Ara. But I had to put it in this queue after I thought about Ray and Custe's remarks about the 'seeds of the commandments' that happened during the battle against Watermonkey, and that I would respond quite a bit when Custe attacked me when Ray told me earlier. Even Elaine decided during her quest for the dungeon that Custe had no chance of targeting Ray with a spear from behind.

"All right, let's go"

Nodding at Elaine's words, he leads Ray and Seto down the stairs.

Everyone was ready to go counter-attack at any time so that they wouldn't be ambushed, as they did on the third basement floor, and similarly Seto was ready to throw up the expected firebraces at any time.

And what the Rays saw when they arrived on the fifth basement floor down a long spiral staircase...

"Dungeons, mushrooms, woods and dungeons again."

Ray squeaks unexpectedly when he sees the sight spreading in front of him.

Yes, it was the dungeon itself, similar to the first or second basement, that was now spreading in front of Ray. The walls are similarly lit, as are the breadth of the road and the extent to which Seto can easily fight. There's just one different place.

"Gru."

Seto sounds sad. Ray soon found out why. That's...

"Odor, dude."

Yes, the rotten stench of meat drifting from all over it.

(No. Sounds rotten... not really. This is the hierarchy where the undead come out, so should we think that the meat actually smells like rotten corpses)

"Sure it stinks, but is it that bad?

Arla leans her neck at the rear of the line and squeals. Ver, who was listening to it next door, accidentally opens his mouth as he covers his nose with his palms.

"No, this is definitely tough. If you have a normal sense of smell, like Ara, you won't have a problem, but if you have a sharp five senses, like me or Seto, it's pretty harsh. I hear Ray did the same thing."

I guess I didn't think that even the five senses were sharp on the same level as me, even though I had previously intended to understand Ray's high combat ability. Ver looking at Ray with some unexpected eye.

(No. Maybe he has a sharper sense of smell than I do because of the way that face looks)

"Well, he said I'd have to put up with this hierarchy because one way or the other I'd have to pull it out. If you smell this, you'll get used to it."

"I think that means paralyzing... well, fine. Either way, it's true that I'd rather just walk through this hierarchy than foot in this hierarchy, as Ver says. Let's go, Seto."

"Gru."

It rings with a voice whose power has returned somewhat more than earlier, and begins to move forward.

Luckily, I guess it was lucky for one line that we didn't get lost any more than it was the main road at the moment.

Hold your hand so that you can swing the death size at any time while walking down the aisle of the dungeon, and unwittingly frown at Seto's figure in your sight.

(Can't you guess Seto's sense of smell due to the smell in this hierarchy?... No, it should still be considered salvation that we can still rely on sight and hearing. Or I have a sixth instinct)

And eventually walking straight down the aisle for about 10 minutes. Seto's leg stops perfectly as he walks next to Ray.

"Seto?"

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto roaring low to be vigilant looking across the dark.

Having just seen how it was, Ray figured out what was going on, holding onto the Death Size pattern he was holding onto so he could handle whatever was going on.

And Elaine and the others, who were going behind Ray, would also have seen how it was and figured out what was going on. Each puts up a weapon and looks beyond the darkness.

Kacha, kacha, kacha, kacha.

Such a light noise gradually approached the Rays.

"These footsteps... are they skeletons?

Ray whines in memory of an undead item I read in the Monster Dictionary.

It turns out that the answer was correct less than a minute later. Two white skeletons appeared in the light of the wall.

(No. Two because it's a skeleton, should I count)

It's like a human body model, made up of white bones that don't have a single piece of meat in them. I felt outrageously impressed that the eyes in the skull were also hollow. The most different part of the human body model is that it exists so that the object is protected by the ribs in the skeleton's body? When defeating the undead with a physical attack that does not use magic, the quickest way is to destroy this demonic stone directly.

He had a long sword with the right skeleton rusting toward him, and the left skeleton had a spear with its sword tip and tip toward Ray and Seto.

And those two skeletons come at the Rays silently.

Two looming as the bones slap the dungeon floor with footsteps such as Katja, Katja. Ray opens his mouth looking calmly at such a skeleton.

"Seto"

Seto takes a step forward with Ray's instructions. In the meantime, the skeletons come close, but breathe heavily in no matter...

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Flames are spouted out of that couch with the roar. Firebrace, Seto's only Lv.2 skill. Its power instantly swallows two skeletons approaching itself with a weapon. In the passage of the dungeon, the temperature rises by a few degrees Celsius due to the effect of the firebrace, at the same time illuminating the perimeter brighter than the bright light emitting the walls of the dungeon.

A few seconds later, when Seto stopped the firebrace he was spitting out, all that remained was two long swords and spears that were melting in half with a bunch of bones that were burning black and collapsing to the ground.
