Legend

Ray told me that if I extended the scope of tying my actions in "The Seeds of Commandment" from information about Seto to detrimental information for Ray, I would normally get out of this dungeon faster than I could get out. Elaine opens her mouth when she hears the words.

"Be good, now is the time to contend for a moment. Even a few hours is a shame. It wouldn't be a bad idea to nod at Ray's suggestion. … but I would like you to at least explain to me exactly what effect that 'seed of admonition' has."

"If that's what Elaine says."

Hearing those two words, Ray also opens his mouth again.

"" The seed of the commandment "means that when you break the covenant when you hang that magic, you literally bloom the flaming glow in your body and burn it alive. Unless, of course, you break the vows you made when you used magic, magic will never be activated. At the same time, those who are embedded with the seed of the commandment are more resistant to heat and flames, and if they can use those magics themselves, they have a kind of auxiliary effect: less magic to consume, more power."

When I close my eyes for a few seconds to explain the "seed of the commandments" out of Ray's mouth and sum up my thoughts, Elaine nods like it's nothing.

"Let's be good. In the first place, I decided to accept the magic of" the seed of the commandments "in my name when I broke through the fourth basement. It's important to get out of this dungeon and inform your father of the betrayal of the Ver and Viscount Sails family, even if it's a little more important not to talk right now."

"I don't have a problem with that either. I'm not going to imitate anything more than what Elaine promised Lord Ray."

Make sure the two of them nodded, Ray with a relief look somewhere.

"Then I'd like to use 'Seeds of Commandment' as soon as possible, okay?

"Oh, do it"

"Dear Elaine, I'll go first..."

"I don't mind. I trust Ray, and I don't think I'm gonna do anything weird here."

"... ok"

Elaine nods, and Arla nods as well.

Having confirmed that, Ray begins to cast a spell while concentrating his magic.

"O flame, thou art a seed. When the host breaks my contract, use his life to blossom beautiful flames."

As Ray casts his spell, a flame appears in the Death Size pattern, which is also a magical activator. Eventually that flame was compressed, and if it were the size of a fist, that flame was compressed to exactly the size of a flower seed a few seconds later.

Let that death-size pattern touch Elaine's head...

"Seeds of Commandments"

At the same time that magic is activated, its flaming seeds sink into Elaine's head.

"This is..."

Elaine squeaks by surprise at the unfamiliar feeling that seeds made of flames are embedded in her own head. But the discomfort also disappeared within seconds, and it was felt as if it had been a dream that something called the 'seed of the commandments' had been buried in his own head.

"The magic is embedded... right?

"Oh, it's done fine. Next up, Ara."

I guess it was because I watched Elaine flatly embrace The Seeds of the Commandments, no particular nervousness, just shutting up and approaching Ray.

"Please, I'm ready."

He nodded at the words and implanted the 'seed of admonition' in his head, just as he did in Elaine's time.

"... Well, now me and Arla can't tell anyone else what happened to Ray's disadvantage. Isn't it time for me to teach you how to get out of this dungeon quickly and do it?

"Oh. You kept your promise. Let me keep my word."

Nod small to Elaine and remove the pair of orbs from the mistering.

My gaze gathers to the crystal ball of fist magnitude that appeared in Ray's hand from nowhere.

"What's that?

"It's a magic item called a pair of orbs. I can communicate freely with the orbs that are paired with this orb as the name suggests."

Ray sheds his magic into the orb in his hand as he explains it to Elaine. Then...

"Oh, Ray if you think of someone. I've been in touch with you a long time ago... '

A few seconds later, what was reflected in the crystal in Ray's hand was a crowned skeleton.

It's a grimm on Rich Road, also an ancient mage who once admired Zeppyre.

"This voice..."

Even if I hadn't seen his face, it would have been because the voice that struck his head sounded familiar. Elaine squeaks in unintentional ways.

"Oh. He was in the back space lost in this basement on the fifth floor."

Answer Elaine and face the crystal.

"I didn't mean to get in touch with you so soon, but there's something going on. I want to help Grimm use space magic."

'To Non, hey... let's be good. Based on the reaction to the orb, we're on the fifth basement now, right?

"Oh."

"Hmm, wait a minute."

That's all I'm saying, the footage interrupts putrid.

"Ray, you're still... no, I don't have time to listen to the details. But I need you to elaborate on that later."

'Ha ha. Don't bully Ray too much. Just do it.'

A voice that sounds directly into the direct prefix, not a voice that was heard in your head through the orb about a few seconds ago. That was something that immediately made me understand where the voice I heard, even if it was Arla who I didn't know who she was talking about when I heard Ray and Elaine talking.

"Ko, what is this!?

Grimm showed up right next to us without any sign. The crown on top of the exfoliated skull. A cane that is gripped in your right hand. And above all, its overwhelming presence. It was Arla who instinctively realized she couldn't win herself just at first sight, but still, even a blow to protect Elaine... and Ray opens her mouth when she grips the Power Axe.

"Grimm, your signs are a little too exciting for us. Keep it down a little bit."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I really have trouble sweetening up the area when I'm living a research-picked life by myself. '

A bitter, grinning voice echoed on three people and one head, and at that moment something like the pressure that was being released from the grime fades away.

"So, fast, but space magic puts us out of the dungeon... no, it's troublesome to be seen. I want you to send me to a place where there aren't too many people around the first basement floor of the dungeon. Can you do that?"

'Right...... Hmm, no problem. Luckily, there's hardly anyone near the first basement of the dungeon right now. "

"... Lord Grimm, did you say that? So you're saying that in just one moment now, you checked to see how many people are on the first basement floor?

'Mm-hmm. That's so hard... hmm? I see you're not the one who received the ritual of inheritance. "

Grimm, who answered, looks at Elaine and asks to observe for a few seconds.

"Yes, there was a lot going on in that ritual, and I want to get back to the ground as soon as possible.... Lord Grimm used the same kind of magic when we headed to the altar of inheritance. Please, I need you to lend me that power again."

A moment is available for Elaine, who bows her head deeply...

"Come on. Ha-ha-ha! Interesting. Don't hesitate to bow your head to the monster if it is meant to be. Last time, this time, Ray's people are delightful.... well, at the behest of Ray and those who are close to him, you can say no.

When a heartfelt delightful laugh echoes in his head, Grimm waves loudly the wand he had in his right hand.

Then the space a little further away from the Rays begins to distort.

'That's good. If we get into that space, we'll automatically move to the first floor of the dungeon. "

(I didn't know you would use all this magic without even chanting... still...)

While thinking inside, Elaine looks at that distortion and bows her head again.

"Thank you. This grace must someday."

'Well, I guess we'll see each other when we get another chance. So, is it time for Noon to return to the lab? Yeah, that space disappears in a few minutes, so if you're going, you better hurry up.'

"... thank you"

"Gru."

When Ray lowers his head in an unfamiliar manner, Seto, who was next to him, also lowers his head smaller. Grimm, who saw it, disappeared again with a laugh into Ray's head.

"Was that real?

seconds after the grimm disappeared. Mumble to no one as Ara makes her wave her arm holding the Power Axe.

Ara, who was confronted from the front by an opponent with a different digit than herself, and who was properly struck by what should be called the smell of death and the magic of darkness that seeped out yet, was quite mentally depleted.

"It would be real. Otherwise the distortion of the space there is unexplained.... If Lord Grimm's story is more correct than that, the distortion of this space won't last that long. We have to hurry now."

"Wait, please! Are you sure you want to trust that Rich?

That's what Arla asks Elaine, who tried to take a step toward distortion of space.

No, one way or the other I'm asking, it's towards Ray, not Elaine. I guess it was only Ray who got in touch with Grimm.

"At least I believe in Grimm. In fact, they're giving away an expensive magic item called a pair of orbs. Besides, you instinctively perceived Grimm's strength, didn't you? It's not so immature that you don't know the difference in strength."

"It's..."

"To be honest, you probably won't beat Grimm if me and Seto hang together. That's the only one with a difference in strength, right? If you want to do something to us, you don't have to do this nasty imitation."

……

No more words in Ray's words, silent Arla.

But only his eyes clearly show that he is not convinced yet.

With a strong gaze at Ray that way, Elaine puts her hand on Ara's shoulder, which is half-starved.

"Dear Elaine..."

"Ara. I see Ver's betrayal, and I also know that you can't believe anyone else so easily if you think that Custe has passed away for it. But as Ray just said, if Lord Grimm had the power, he wouldn't have bothered to imitate us.... Besides, I didn't look like Lord Grimm would fool this one. Isn't that right, Ray?

"... oh"

I nod at Elaine's question but slightly doubt it.

(How come I've never seen you before... and can you believe a grimm so powerful that I can say Rich Road? That, too, hasn't happened so long since my own men named Ver betrayed me)

It was Ray whining inside, but Elaine's persuasion finally calmed her down. Arla nods small and turns her gaze toward Elaine.

"I see that Master Elaine believes in that Rich. … but I'll be the first to go into that distortion of space, just in case."

"Okay. If that makes you feel better, I won't say anything more. I'll leave you to it."

"Yes."

Nodding at Elaine's words, hold the Power Axe firmly in both hands and gaze at the distortion of space.

And keep it that way. You decided to be ready in about a few seconds. Open your mouth.

"I'm going!

That's how he screams, kicks the floor and sticks it into the distortion of space...... disappears straight from the 5th basement floor.

"Okay, apparently there's no problem. Ray, let's go too."

"Oh."

Nodding at Elaine's words, the two and one left on the scene walked straight out toward the distortion of space.

"This is... it's definitely the first basement floor"

Elaine squeaks as she goes through the distortions of the space and looks around.

"Apparently you do.... What about Ara?

Ray answers Elaine and looks around, but realizes that Ara is nowhere that she should have gone into space distortion first.

And that's when I shrugged.

"Oh, excuse me. I gained a little momentum and ran too far."

Elaine and I smile unexpectedly at Arla, who appeared sneaky from the end of the aisle.

"Okay, let's just get out of the dungeon. I'm sure it's been about 10 minutes since we got down here in the dungeon."

"Well, there's got to be a staircase out on the ground when you bend down that aisle and go straight."

Ray remembers when he walked through here, even though he said it was only a few days before he entered the dungeon and was attacked by the feeling as if it had been almost months. Elaine nodded slightly about whether it was the same again, and started walking towards what Ray had indicated.

The location has changed and is a few km away from the dungeon.

There were currently about 10 people building a camp in that place where monsters would have walked wide if they had been.

Anyway, if it's about a night camp, it's already been a few days since we built the camp here. That behavior, which normally only seems to be suicidal, is probably due to the fact that the number of monsters is lower than in other parts of the country because it is near the dungeon, and above all because those 10 people are quite skilled.

And if someone saw that, they probably would have rushed right into the Adventurer's Guild. Most of the 10 people on the spot looked very, but not like people because their faces were made of rock like golems, or their feet were like plant roots, or they had eyes in several places on their faces.

In the meantime, a line of leader-like figures look up unexpectedly.

He wears a robe and has a cane, which only the upper body can see as a human wizard, but the lower body belongs to the spider. It also looked like a monster named Arakune, but it was obvious that he was not like Arakune at the point that his upper body was a man.

"... you're here"

When that alien wizard mutters, the other alien beings who were around him also turn their gaze toward the magic formation in the middle of the camp.

If the superiors of the kingdom of Mireana had seen the presence of these people, they would soon know who they were. These are the warcraft soldiers born as a result of the inheritance ritual of the Bestian Empire. As its name suggests, those who look more like monsters than people.

seconds after the alien wizard shrugged. A magic formation in the middle of the camp glowed only intensely for a moment… the next moment, there was one human being in the center of that magic formation.

"The assassination of General Princess failed. Was it a mistake to expect from the traitor in question?... you incompetent bastards"

At the end of his gaze was the appearance of Ver losing his head from his left shoulder, his face burning to piercing and losing his mind with a sharp needle in his leg. Such a wizard grumbling at Ver with a scornful gaze.

"We're leaving. If we could have assassinated General Princess, we would have invaded the villages around the dungeon, but if we failed, we wouldn't need to stay here any longer."

"What do you want me to do with this moron?

With Ella present beside his face, he turns his gaze again to a man who is losing his mind in the magic formation to the question of a man who only looks like a fishman covered with scales.

Weak beings who would probably die after hours if left alone like this. However, even though it is tentative, rather than leaving it here, it is decided that the information will be of little use to us if we take it.

"I'm taking you. If you don't have any busy information, it could be a material for human experiments."

"Understood."

The Warcraft soldiers followed the instructions of their own leader, the Wizard, and quickly, but abusively, began to prepare for their return to the Bestian Empire by providing first aid to Ver, a man who was losing his mind.
