Legend

Though the nucleus of the dungeon found in the vault managed to destroy it, the slime appeared in such a way that it was produced from the nucleus of that dungeon. And the purple fog that that slime spits out, or leaves when it's defeated. Ray, who went outside the storage yard to inform him of the danger of that fog, saw two guards falling to the ground.

"Shit, can that fog be fiercely poisonous after all!?

It was Ray rushing over to the two falling down as he threw up...

……

I notice that the guards nearby are looking at themselves in desperate shape.

"This is not poison.... Paralysis!?

I guess I heard that voice. A guard whose body is almost immobile, but who nevertheless manages to make a small snort.

(Damn, does this purple fog have a paralyzing effect? Why didn't it work for me or Seto? Is that still magic power, considering the case of Devil's Fever? No, it's more behavior now than worrying, anyway)

As we turn our gaze to the storage areas where we came out, the open doors, as well as the purple smoke, are overflowing from all over the building.

"Seto!"

"Grr!"

Understand what you want to say to Ray's voice and squeal sharply, pointing your back towards Ray.

Check it out, Ray also put the guard he was in charge of on Seto's back, and yet another guard on Seto's back as well.

Only one person could fly in the sky if it was meant to be, Ceto, but fortunately in this case there is no need to fly either. Running on the ground didn't affect me as much as putting two people on its back.

"Let's go. Anyway, rendezvous with Sasanas!

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Nodding to that voice, one and one after the storage area.

Fortunately for the inhabitants of the city of Bahr, the nucleus of the dungeon would have emerged as a storage area with few private houses around it. As a result, the damage caused by purple fog was significantly less than if it had appeared in the middle of the city. But.

"Run! You touch that fog, you'll be paralyzed and you won't be able to move!

To say that there are few private houses, on the contrary, there are a few. So Ray runs toward the center of the city, where the guild and the hall of lords are located, shouting loudly to the surroundings.

Whether it is purple fog or something like some will, it moves slowly and very slowly, unlike normal fog, when you make sure to cover the storage area and show up.

For this reason, the residents around them who heard Ray's voice also perceived the anomaly and managed to escape the fog of purple.

"What, what the hell is that fog! Purple fog!? I've never seen or heard of anything like that around here!

"Dad, my dad's got a demonic fever and he's still home!

"Riggles, where are you, Riggles!?

A man who becomes semi-frequent and calls, a woman who was desperate to escape the mist and couldn't help her family, a mother desperate to find because she can't see her child.

Bite your lips small and scream again as you see how such a resident is doing.

"Head to the center of the city! If we stay here, we won't be able to move with that fog!

Ray also heads to the center as he screams and watches the surrounding people start moving.

In the meantime, a few residents stood on the spot to see if their hearts had been broken by the phenomenon that followed the Devil's Fever, just watching the fog approaching them.

"Ray!"

Arriving near the center of the city, he is finally breathing a sigh of breath and suddenly he can speak. Needless to say who the bearer of that voice is, because I've been acting with the bearer of that voice all morning.

"Sasanas!"

"What the hell is going on!? What the hell is that purple fog!?

Is Sasanas confused again, too, grabbing the chest of a dragon robe and pulling it hard and yelling.

Fortunately, the fog is very slow and has not yet eroded the city so much from its eastern storage depots. For this reason, most of the people who lived in the eastern part of the city had gathered in this central district, where nearly hundreds of people had already gathered. In the meantime, Sasanas was able to quickly find Ray because Seto, still a griffon, was noticeable.

"Calm down. The residents of the city are also anxious because you are the captain of the guard. … explain. But first, the reports against Mr. Deer Logo and the Alliance Master. Show me."

"... ok"

Nodding small, Sasanas quickly gives instructions to the guards who were present in the vicinity to lower the guards who were on Seto's back and lead them to the Lords' Hall. Seto was asked by Ray to descend onto the roof of a nearby building and watch to see if there was any change in the fog movement.

The guards have opened the Lords' Hall to accommodate the elderly, women and children, or the sick. Lay is passed to Dear Logo's office, looking sideways like that.

Inside the office there are several other figures of old and middle-aged men and women, in addition to the Deer logo and Seyce. Seyce opens her mouth as if to restrain the others at that moment when she tries to open her mouth with the look of what some of them said to Ray, who came into the room.

"Oh, are you here? Can you explain what's going on?"

"... Yes. Simply put, I'm pretty sure the cause of the Devil's Fever is the nucleus of the dungeon that I and Sasanas found."

Dungeon nucleus. Regarding that story, the Dear logo was asking me when Sasanas was going outside to see what was going on. But still, when the words came out of Ray's mouth, which he had actually confirmed with his eyes, the complaining mouth movement stopped and encouraged him to continue the conversation.

"So can I assume that the purple fog and the mess outside is the work of that dungeon's nucleus?

Ray snorts at Seyce's words. Those who remain surrounded, as well as the gaze from Sasanas, continue to explain.

"If the dungeon's core came out, there was no way I could do that in my existence, so I asked Mr. Dearlogo and Mr. Seyce to go to Sasanas to give me instructions..."

"Mm-hmm. That's why we had this noise when we were listening from Sasanas."

"Yes. After Sasanas ran to the report, I was watching to see if there was any anomaly in the nucleus of the dungeon. Fortunately, there was a paragraph on Devil's Fever, so I was wondering if there was anything in particular..."

"Is something wrong with that?"

"Yes, when I wondered if the nucleus of the dungeon had started pulsating, suddenly infinite slimes of indefinite form were released from its nucleus"

"... slime?

I was inside the office, whining as if a middle-aged man had been poked at the impression.

That would be so. I didn't know the cause was slime when something was happening that even the total annihilation of the city had to worry about. It was just the earliest word I could joke about for a man. That was the same for the others, but only three. Only the Deer logo and Seyce and Sasanas were different. Seyce knows how much magic Ray has, and the Deer logo is about an adventurer seconded by his former party member, Marina, or that his best friend, Seyce, is thumping at his prowess. And above all, he felt Ray's strength as a former adventurer. Because Sasanas likewise had enough strength to discern how much Ray's strength was.

"You weren't just a slime, were you?

Like slime, Seyce opens her mouth so that she can wear it to a middle-aged man who tried to open her mouth.

Because I don't have the time to argue or rub my responsibilities.

A small salute to such a Seyce, Ray, who goes on to explain.

"Yes. I was blowing purple fog out of my body. We attacked him as dangerous as we thought, but when he took deadly damage himself, he turned his whole body into purple fog and disappeared."

"Purple fog.... I see. Is that the big book of fog that now exists in the east? By the way, do you know how that fog works?

To Seyce's inquiry, what floated behind Ray's brain was the appearance of two guards guarding the eastern reservoir.

The symptoms were not investigated in detail, but it was clear that the body was still paralyzed and unable to move. And that Ray and Seto were able to act normal even when they inhaled that purple mist.

"What we now know is that if you inhale or touch that fog, you will be paralyzed. That's what the two guards who were in front of the east vault looked like. It's just that that's only an immediate effect, so maybe there's still some other effect. And..."

"And?"

"Me and Seto could work normally in that fog. Especially since I'm knocking down quite a few mist-producing slimes. Yet there is no feeling of paralysis in the body. … Perhaps this can be automatically deactivated if you also have some magic as well as Magic Fever"

If you have magic, you can disable the fog effect. Those in the office who heard the words breathe relief knowing that they were going to manage to put this matter away.

But there was someone waiting there to hang up. We were listening to Ray in this room together, Sasanas.

"Ray, give me a minute. I repeat, the soldier in front of the east vault was paralyzed, right? That's definitely the soldier we talked about when we walked into the vault, right?

"Hmm? Oh. That's for sure."

When Ray sees him snort, he slightly frowns and exhales in a small sigh to open his mouth.

"Then... Mr. Deer Logo, Mr. Seyce. And everyone else. This could be a little dangerous."

"... I see"

I guess I understood what you wanted to say to Sasanas' words. Seyce also had a bitter look on her face.

Next to it, again, the Deer logo flaunts his face.

"What's the matter with you? If you can operate in that fog, isn't it possible to deal with it somehow?

To the question of the city's mighty man who was inside the office, Sasanas shakes his head small again and opens his tease.

"The eastern depositories… or the guards who were active today were those who possessed enough magic not to hang on to this epidemic of satanic fever. I mean, I was wondering if disabling that fog would require someone with even more magic than not infecting with Devil's Fever."

"Well, how much do you know exactly?

"Unfortunately. Ray there seems to have a powerful magic power to say, and I don't think it's a problem first because he's actually been disabling the fog with it."

"So you have to entrust the fate of this city to have someone there named Ray destroy the nucleus of the dungeon!?

Do we still have to entrust fate to Ray, who can't help calling him a boy, to the adventurers of other cities, not of this city? He was a middle-aged man who slapped his fist on his knees with such anger, but Ray pinches his mouth there.

"Southern. I forgot to tell you, the nucleus of the dungeon has already been destroyed. He kept spitting out a lot of mist-producing slime. I kept asking you what to do with the nucleus of the dungeon, but I want you to understand that it's an emergency measure."

……

The surroundings silence Ray's words.

Of course it is not something like silence due to despair. It is simply the silence of the late, which was made flamboyant.

Somehow, I thought I had to haunt my head about how to destroy the nucleus of the dungeon, the purple fog that is going to cause paralysis, because I was already told that the key cause had been destroyed.

"... maybe there was a story going on with the policy of turning it into a labyrinth city?

It was Ray asking even as he subtly had a bad feeling about the silence around him, but that worry ends needlessly.

For the next moment the faces of those who were in the office sparkled with hope.

And the lord of this room, the Deer logo, approaches Ray with an excited face, slapping him on the shoulder again and again with all his strength.

The power was such that if Ray was wearing a regular robe instead of a dragon robe, he would certainly have been damaged.

"You did a good job. Sure, it's a shame to say that the dungeon's nucleus is a shame, but when the city asks if you want it to be damaged, it's not. All I'm tasked with is keeping the city safe. No, you did really well. Seyce!"

Praise Ray and then call on Seyce.

Its gaze is not filled with joy until a few seconds ago, but has already become its face as the proxy for the lord who governs this city. I guess the speed of switching around here is why the Deer logo is excellent.

And Seyce also snorted instantly just because she had such a long-standing relationship with the Deer logo.
