"Blade of the wind, slay and tear my enemies."
A spell is cast, the world is transformed by magic, and the magic of the wind gathers around Elaine.
"Air Cutter!
The magic was completed with the words, and nearly 20 wind blades were released.
The invisible attack of the blade of the wind multiply the body of the Mad Papette, which was approaching with gucha, gucha, and dirty footsteps, eventually losing as much power as it could form its body and collapsing to the ground.
Later all that remained was the magically wrapped mud and the demonic stone buried in that mud.
"I see. No flaming magic, but if it's wind magic, it doesn't seem to be a problem."
"Well, the problem is evaporating mud moisture and turning it into soil, so if it's wind magic, it's not going to be a problem."
To Elaine's whining, Vihera nods as she agrees.
Next to that, soon and only, Büne had taken the demon stone out of the mud and handed it to Ray.
"Mmm."
"Oh, I know"
It was the dagger of running water that was taken out of mystering with that word. Wash the demon stone with water produced by letting magic flow and store it in the mistering as it is.
After that, take out the barrel and pack the mud for four, and store it there again.
"... it's kind of weird."
Ray whining in sigh.
Regardless of washing the demon stone, the task of stuffing the mud that was forming the body of the Mad Papette into the barrel takes about 10 minutes.
That's three times already. Surely whenever you defeat Mad Papette, stop moving and collect the mud... then it will be true that it takes time.
But...
"Considering the amount of time it takes to strip material from a monster, I'd say it's short, wouldn't it?
"... I see"
In fact, unlike regular monsters, it was true that there was no place to throw them away in vain because all the mud forming the body could be bought as alchemy material in terms of income.
Most importantly, if we were to bring back the mud naturally, it would weigh the same weight, so it would be impossible to recover this mud without the porter at least. Plus you have to have a separate barrel-like container, so Mad Papette is not a delicious prey for a regular party. If you're bringing home mud for one Mad Papette, you'll earn more money by bringing home more Demon Stone and more expensive materials.
This time there was a barrel Ray had been saving up in the mistering, so I never had a hard time bringing it back though.
Therefore, taking home mud from the Mad Papette or stone from the Stone Papette is not even an item box… but most of the time someone with a magic pouch, like Elaine.
Inside, there is also a fierce person who can use the transfer device to transfer directly to the desired hierarchy to pull the luggage and transfer it to the sixth basement floor, then defeat the Mad Papette or Stone Papette as it is to recover the entire material.
Having completed the material collection of Mad Papette, the Rays once again proceed through the cave, the sixth basement floor of the dungeon.
Occasionally, a trap existed, and while Büne, who found it, taught Ray and Elaine the existence of the trap, he also taught them how to disarm it.
But it's basically a beaune who doesn't speak the language, so it was some kind of artisanal way of educating people to look at it and remember.
Walking in the cave that way, Büne, who is walking in the lead, reaches out and signals a stop.
"Another trap?
"Mmm!"
Büne nodded small at Vihella's words, leaving the Rays on the spot about 5m ahead of him and kneeling into the ground, to begin untying the trap.
I guess I didn't invite Ray or Elaine over at this time because that was the only dangerous trap.
In fact, Ray, who turned his gaze to the place where Bühne was working, could see something like a thin spider thread present at a height of about 20 cm from the ground. The spider's yarn-like leads to the walls of the cave, which continue further up to the ceiling stalactites.
Seeing that, I could also imagine half of what the trap that Bühne was currently unlocking was like on Ray. Perhaps if you touch something like that spider's yarn, the overhead stalactites will fall.
Even more pernicious would be that the switch on the trap is like a spider's yarn. Thin, light. Especially if you're an adventurer exploring the dungeons, most of them are equipped with protective gear, so you won't notice if you touch the yarn.
Even for Vihela, which has the least equipped protective equipment of the Rays, the toenails wrap up to the tibia, so you won't notice it touching the yarn strapped 20 cm high. Or if Ceto isn't wearing protective gear, you might know by the feel, or you might be able to find it with sharp vision before then.
"It's a very noisy trap."
"Oh, you got it?
Surprisingly, Ray nods to Vihera, who comes with a small, open eye to surprise.
"Hmm? Did you find out who the trap was?
To Ray like that, Elaine asks me that I couldn't tell the trap from just looking at it.
"Oh. Simply put, that's a trap to drop the stalactites from overhead. If a stalactite of that size fell from overhead, those who knew nothing would surely die first. … it looks like the trap is suddenly increasing in danger since the 6th basement."
"Well, actually, if you're new to this basement on the 6th floor, a few people die or get seriously injured from hooking up to this kind of trap. At one point, the guild seems to be paying attention, but they're overconfident that they'll be okay if they get here."
"There's that everywhere...... hmm?
"Grrrrrrrr"
When Ray tries to say something, Seto, who was on guard around him, sounds his throat on guard.
That gaze was pointing towards the end of the aisle where the Rays were about to go.
"Apparently, a new enemy has arrived.... Mad Papette again?
Squeeze and shake your head to the side immediately.
I've heard it so many times before, because I can't hear the footsteps of Gucha, Gucha, And I can't even hear a stone slamming the ground that a stone papet would stand that I haven't encountered yet.
(Then, is it Wind Bat? No, there are other possibilities for monsters other than that than the trap being set)
Thinking of it that way, I noticed something accidentally flying around me, reflexively waving Death Size Ray.
At that moment, something invisible and a death-size blade collide... something that you can't see casually smashes and scatters.
Still, I almost reflexively grabbed the identity of that something, probably because I was looking at a similar method of attack a while back.
"The blade of the wind, huh?
"Right. Looks like a wind bat. Beaune!"
"Mmm!"
"Hey, Vihera?
When Vihera calls out to Bühne, who was about to come back this way, she nods quietly, even though she says she knows, and for some reason she returns to the one with the trap.
Elaine asks as she watched it, but Vihera kept a grin on her face and stared at the end of the aisle without answering anything.
What are those two after? That was revealed when a giant bat about 1.5m long appeared without a sound from the end of the aisle.
"Now!
With that voice of Vihera, Büne, who was still killing signs near the trap, cuts the thread and at the same time quickly returns to near the Rays.
And I cut the thread, so naturally, the trap starts and several stalactites growing from the ceiling pour down.... but not over the heads of the Rays, but over the heads of Wind Bat.
"Hey, you wouldn't come down this way, would you?
Ray asks unexpectedly when he sees a pointed stalactite slammed to the ground as he pierces a wind bat.
Next to such a ray, Seto also looked forward to the sight of several stalactites pouring down his throat sounding worryingly.
"It's okay. If it's a trap near this hierarchy, the range of effects isn't that wide. It's a few meters radius around where the trap was. That's why I needed to attract Wind Bat."
Return words as you look at the wind bat crushed by stalactites in such a way as naturally.
Under the influence of the fall of several stalactites, the ground has a small mountain of stalactites. Naturally Wind Bat is completely crushed by stalactites, beyond being in such a situation, and I can't even see the blood flowing through one part of my body.
Most importantly, the smell of blood drifting from the stalactites because all of them have a sharp sense of five senses: Elaine, who inherited the Enchanted Dragon's demonic stone, Griffon's Ceto, the dragon's porn, and Vienne, who is more acute than a normal adventurer as a bandit.
"In this way, if you have bandits, you can also use the traps set by the dungeons to damage the monsters. Ray and Elaine may not be very helpful because they're not bandits, but remember, you're not gonna lose anything."
"You've certainly learned. I never thought I'd use the trap the other way around."
"Naturally, you'll need the right amount of skill to imitate this. I don't think you can do it with me or Elaine, the amateur."
"I know about that. I don't have bandit skills in the first place."
"Oh, that's a little surprising. I just thought you were gonna say something back."
Previously...... Especially given what happened with Ray the night before, I guess I didn't think I would agree very much with my opinion. Vihera gives a small, surprising look.
But against such a vihella, Elaine tinkles her nose and opens her mouth.
If it wasn't the same woman watching that, scratching up her vertically rolled blonde hair with a trick she might have been in love with.
"Certainly there are a lot of things I think of you...... there are a lot of things really. But that's not a dangerous place to talk about in a dungeon."
I tell him that much, and he opens his mouth again, staring sideways at Ray, who inadvertently exhales in relief inside.
"I'm going to ask Ray to give a good explanation on that matter after he leaves the dungeon today. So now you don't have to worry about it."
"Oh, yeah.... it's hard to have a jealous lover."
Ray unexpectedly turns his jito eyes to Vihera, who smiles small and speaks to Ray.
Whatever you think, protest that I'm seeing this because of you.
But Vihera turns her gaze toward the stalactites that are mountainous on the ground without looking like she cared for Ray's gaze like that.
"What do you do with Wind Bat? Whatever the fangs at the demon stone or crusade proof site by purposefully dropping the bell milkstone, I think it's a little hard to peel the material off."
"The material was... wings and eyeballs?
"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure your head's crushed, and I think your wings are broken."
"... well, fine. I'm not getting Wind Bat's Demon Stone, so I'll do it."
That's what he tells them, and Ray leans up to Mount Stonehenge with Seto. Even if it's just a giant stalactite, many things are shattered if they fall from the ceiling to the ground, one size at a time is not as big as that. There were also a few stalactites inside that were barely broken, but with the power of Ray and Seto, it was not that difficult to move them.
"You stop glowing when you crush it.... No, it's not. Off the ceiling or something."
Ray groans as he lifts all the stalactites about the same length as Ray's own height.
The light has already been lost from the stalactites that are actually falling to the ground, making them very ordinary stalactites.
"Right. If this stayed glowing, there might have been some more adventurers coming here. This stalactite is like a glowing wall, and when you leave the dungeon, it stops glowing.... If the mysteries around here are solved, the night will be brighter in every city, city or village."
Unfortunately, Vihera groans looking at the stalactites that Ray lifts and leaves at the end of the aisle.
While hearing those words, Ray and Seto finally succeed in getting rid of the stalactites that have fallen over Wind Bat.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto peeks into Wind Butt as he rolls his stalactites on his forefoot and sounds sorry for his throat.
The stalactites have fallen in large quantities, so naturally, Wind Bat was crushed to the point of not retaining the prototype, leaving little room for safety.
That safe part... That said, the fangs at the crusade proof site were only safe and the head was crushed.
Ray reaches out and grips his fangs as he sees the sight of the average person about to frown unexpectedly when he sees it.
"The Demon Stone... no"
I sigh when I see the Demon Stone I wanted the most is crushed all over my torso by the stalactites.
"Like I said, right? Well, still, let's just say I was able to recover the fangs from the crusade proof site.... Beaune, how are you? Any sign of a new monster?
"Mmm!"
"What about Elaine?
"I don't have a problem with this one. Isn't it pointless for me to be more vigilant than for Büne to be more vigilant than...
Vihera smiles meaningfully at Elaine's words.
"Well, maybe I am....... but it must be a coincidence that you had a party with Bühne, right? Then I've never gotten used to it. More than that, let's move on if we can."
Using Vihera's words as a signal, the Rays proceeded again through the cave.
