Legend

Ray and Arla continue to remain silent. And Ceto just meditates on his eyes and takes Ray's weight.

At the heart of the magic formation in front of those two and one, Elaine woke up with her eyes closed as if she were asleep when the sand on the hourglass was about to fall for the fifth time... i.e. after about 10 hours.

"... mmm..."

"Dear Elaine!

The voice of Elaine, who had quietly lost her mind in the middle of the magic formation, sounds small but surely between the altars of inheritance that were surrounded by silence.

Ara accidentally tried to hang on Elaine in response to that voice. But Ray stops grasping that Ara's hand.

"Lord Ray!

"Calm down! Take a good look around!

It was Arla who yelled at me just to stay out of the way, but what I got back from Ray was a voice stuck in my feathers so much that I couldn't beat it.

Ara looking around at that Ray voice.

"This is..."

And Ara also accidentally clogs the words with the sight of what is happening in front of her.

An altar that was right near Elaine, also the cause that became known as the altar of inheritance. In the middle of the ritual, that altar, where the demonic stone of the enchanted dragon had remained crushed by Ver, turns into a summer, as if it were an illusion that existed there until now.

Altar of inheritance, a magic formation that existed in three directions.... and the magic formation that Elaine was falling into. All of that changed into Kasumi… The next moment, she was sucked into Elaine's body as if she were sucked in.

"Ara, is this a normal event in the ritual of inheritance?

"Yes, no. I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with inheritance rituals..."

"Right. I'm worried I don't know if this is a normal process."

That's when Ray shrugged.

"Don't worry. As I said before the ritual, only once can rituals be performed on the altar of inheritance. That's why."

Where the magic formation was, now I don't think there was already a magic formation there. Open your mouth as Elaine wakes up her upper body on the cobblestone.

"Dear Elaine!

Arla hugs to Elaine with tears in her eyes.

Watching how it goes, Ray also walks toward Elaine again.

"How far do you remember?

"... Ver"

"Oh."

"Until he destroyed the demon stone on the altar."

Mumble, look around...... hold your eyes to beings hung with cloth.

"... Custe, huh?

"Oh. Protect you from Ver's golem."

"Right.... it was my mistake as commander not to notice Ver's betrayal"

Take the cloth hanging on the part of Custe's face, meditate on his eyes for only a few seconds and turn his sight towards prayer ray for his soul.

"Ray, I need you to store Custe's body in the item box. I'd like to at least deliver the body under my family."

"Okay."

Nodding small at Elaine's request, she houses the body in Mystering.

"... so what happened to the ritual of inheritance and the others in the end? Elaine would have absorbed the demon stone and it was destroyed by Ver along the way."

"Wait a minute."

I will reply so that I can meditate on my eyes and see how my body is doing.

"... I can't say I've completely inherited the power of the Enchanted Dragon, but about 70% of it is someplace."

"70%? I don't know if it's high or low."

"It wouldn't be such a bad thing as a result of being interrupted on the way through the ritual. Considering that the worst inheritance altar is broken, and that the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone is destroyed, there is nothing to gain, and yet there is a danger that Custe was dead. His failure was to destroy the Demon Stone, not the altar of inheritance. Because altars are more important than demon stones in inheritance rituals....... Ver Sails. I'll make sure you pay me back this debt."

Only the last part squeals in her own mouth, Elaine. There is a strong light of determination in its eyes, which at the same time emits an atmosphere like that of a hunter after his prey.

"Dear Elaine, so you have inherited the power of the Enchanted Dragon... what exactly has changed around you? Even if it's less, it looks just like Elaine ever did."

Erena strokes her head with a grin as she erases the fierce atmosphere that floated until a few seconds ago to ask questions about Ara's horrors and other appearances.

"Right. If the ritual had failed because of Ver's obstruction, maybe I could have abandoned people and become a dragon myself. But don't worry, fortunately I've got the physical strength of an enchanted dragon, the powerful magic, in the hands of a man.... I can't do it yet, but I might be able to use some preliminary dragon language magic."

When you hold your right hand, Elaine radiates magic to the surrounding area, though unconsciously.

The magnitude of that magic was clearly beyond the pre-ritual Elaine, and I could understand how much power was inherited to Ray, who also had no ability to see magic.

"... as far as I'm concerned, this is fine. Ray, can you tell me more about what's happened since I lost my mind?

Erena turns off the magic she was releasing and turns her gaze to Ray. In response to that gaze, Ray also nodded and told Ara more about what he had told her earlier.

"Right. Has Custe died satisfactorily?"

"Oh, I'm pretty sure he didn't care, but he still died protecting the one he was supposed to protect as a knight."

"... well. Then I'd have to be what he deserved even though he died satisfactorily."

"Dear Elaine..."

I nod with a pale smile at Arla as she looks at herself with care, trying to change her mood and gazing at the exit of the room.

Ray opens his mouth watching Elaine like that.

"More than that, I have to get out of the dungeon than the ritual is over... three, huh? It might be a little harsh to think about when we got here."

To Ray, who shrugs, Elaine smiles and shakes her head.

"Certainly the absence of Ver and Custe would be a numerical problem. But I can see for myself that my powers are now considerably stronger than before. A silver lion defending the nucleus of a dungeon won't be able to do it, but a Rank A monster would be able to manage it on his own"

Elaine squeaks as she grips the pattern of the connecting sword.

It did make me feel more powerful from Elaine today than before performing the ritual. The beauty that draws in the beholder stays intact and also gives Ray the impression that he has become a deeper being.

"If that's what Elaine says, that's fine too. If we go back now, around the sixth basement, there's a chance the monster hasn't been re-summoned yet."

"All right, let's go. As far as the formation is concerned, the avant-garde is Ray and Seto, considering collaboration. The rear guard will be me and Ara. I need to get out of this dungeon as soon as possible and let Father know about Ver's betrayal. I want to give Custe back to his family."

"If Master Elaine is going, I will offer you everywhere!

Ara proclaimed so, and Seto went out between the altars of inheritance again, ringing in the back of his throat in favor.

"Gah."

A herd of three emerald wolves showed up as soon as they exited the aisle on the sixth basement floor. Seto immediately uses the King's intimidation against those monsters who were attacked as soon as he saw the Rays to blunt their movements.

That's how the dull emerald wolf was only a duck for Ray and Elaine already, and not one of the remaining ones was literally instantly killed just about 30 seconds after he got picked up, before Ara was smashed in the head with a blow to the forefoot that Seto wielded.

"Hmm, aren't you familiar with your body yet"

Elaine shrugs as she shrugs away the blood on her torso, shrugging off her neck, avoiding Emerald Wolf's attack by whipping the torso of her concatenated sword.

Because of the grumpy state of affairs, I was unhappy that I had not used enough of my newly acquired powers.

"But Dear Elaine, that was amazing right now. Speed of reaction to enemies, power when you wave a linked sword."

Elaine shakes her head even as she smiles at Arla's words.

"No, you still have the impression that you're wielding the power you've gained. You'll need to train from the start when you get out of this dungeon. More time is wasted than that. Let's move on."

"Right, you should say you're lucky you're unhappy, because the trap Ver unlocked hasn't been repaired yet. I don't know if this is the work of the Dungeon Nucleus or any other monster, but I want to make as much distance as possible before I do."

Ray quickly stores three emerald wolves into mystering while responding to Elaine's words.

"All right, let's go!

A line that nods at Ray's words and starts running and moving. That speed is in line with Ara, the slowest leg of all, but it's still a story compared to three people: Griffon's Ceto, Ray, who has an extrahuman physical ability, and Elaine, who inherited the power of the Enchanted Dragon, a speed that goes in fast enough as a normal human being.

Note that when a row first came down here, it was the sixth basement floor where traps were set just wondering if this was still the case, but the trap that Ver had disarmed, as Ray was putting it out in his mouth, has not yet been reinstalled, and that is a huge help to be able to run and move.

And the few monsters that appear on the way out mostly come out to Ray, Seto, and Elaine, two and one. They expose the dungeons to unbroken figures such as being slashed, torn, burned, and crushed.

"I saw the stairs!

To Ara's voice, a line exhales with relief in view of the staircase leading to the fifth basement floor. But as soon as I remembered what the fifth basement floor was like, it gave me a depressing look.

"... this is tough..."

That's what Elaine whines about going up to the fifth basement.

It was Elaine, reinforced in the physical sense by the ritual of inheritance, but also by the five senses, and the rotten odor that was spreading underground on the fifth floor, like Ray and Seto, hit the sense of smell directly.

All I can say is get used to it.

"Gru."

That's what Ray tells him with a look of giving up somewhere, even as he smiles at the stench of corruption. And Seto next door rings his throat to say the same thing again.

The sharpest sensation in this line is Ceto, so I guess the damage I'm taking to my sense of smell is also considerable.

"Hmm, I don't think it smells that bad"

The only human physical ability or five-sensed Ara leaned her neck gently and squealed like that.

"The smell is irresistible. What are we gonna do with this hierarchy?"

That being said, Elaine opens her mouth with a frown about whether she still can't stand the smell.

"What do you do, what's wrong?

I don't know what Elaine's talking about, but I ask Ara back like she said. Ray opens his mouth laughing bitterly at the way it is.

"When I came down, they would have built a staircase to the sixth basement floor with the power of the Lord of that voice because I had entered the space behind me and into it. I mean, unlike the sixth or seventh basement, we didn't break through this hierarchy on our own, so we don't know where the stairs are to the fourth basement."

"... ah!

After thinking about Ray's words for a few seconds or so, and understanding what he was talking about, Ara screams unexpectedly.

"Duh, what do I do!?

"Nothing to do, dear...... no, wait?

At that time, Ray remembered a pair of orbs that were magic items that Grimm had given him.

It reminded me that if Grimm could use it to contact Grimm and use space magic, that would be the only way he could get me to the ground.

(But...)

Using a pair of orbs means that they will know about their relationship with Grimm.

"Lord Ray?

Arla calls out to Ray about how he's doing.

And I try to shake my head that it's nothing... I recall that it's me, Seto, Elaine and Ara who are on this scene and one.

Yes, there is no such thing as a traitor, Ver, or Custe, who was disgusted with Ray. There are only two of them, Elaine and Arla, who are almost unconditionally intoxicated enough to follow orders from Elaine.

(Then you can stop at 'Seeds of Commandment', right? I didn't know it would be helpful in this place to not use 'the seed of the commandments' on the altar of inheritance because of Ver and Custe.)

"Seto, ask for perimeter alert. Elaine, we need to talk."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ask Seto to be on perimeter alert and then call Elaine.

Elaine leans her neck against a sudden call but comes close.

"What's up? I want to get back to the ground as soon as possible, so I don't want to waste too much time."

"It's about that. If we do well, we can be back on the ground in an instant... there may be a way"

"... what?

"But to use that method, you need to tell me all kinds of secrets I want to keep.... Remember what we talked about on the fourth basement floor, The Seeds of the Commandments?

"Oh. With that said, you sure had a lot going on and you didn't get that magic. Although it was a very painful lapse to let Ver escape before using that magic.... Do you want to use it now?

Ray snorts small at Elaine's words.

You must have seen how it went and understood it was a serious story. Elaine also waits for Ray to say his expression again.

"I think we can get out of this dungeon a lot faster than we normally would if we were to say that we could change the extent to which the magic activates from information about Ceto to information that is detrimental to me and Ceto.... What do we do?

If I tell you that much, Ray just shuts up that it's you who decides.

(It certainly hurts not to be able to use the 'seed of the commandments' on Ver, but the fortunate thing in his misfortune is that he is not known to absorb the demon stone, which is a trait of warcraft? The perception that Griffon's rare species still helped.)

Mumble so inside and wait for Elaine to reply.

Think about it for about 10 seconds with your hand on your chin watching Ray like that...... Elaine opens her mouth.
