Legend

Rays continue to walk upstream of the river, for about two hours.

The roads without paths were somewhat daunting, but the Rays, who continued to walk somewhat easier than the beast roads, accidentally went out to the place.

Plenty of space.

Of course there are trees growing around them, but nothing stood in the way of walking around them.

And in the middle of the space...

"Stairs, huh?"

Ray shrugs, but there was a surprising mix of colors in that shrug, probably because that staircase was the reason.

From the first floor to the second, there were stairs that naturally headed up.

So that's exactly what I was thinking in this dungeon, it's a form of going up instead of down... what's currently in front of the Rays was the stairs down.

"Stairs."

Elaine also whines the same words as Ray.

I don't understand why there are stairs down there.

"Well, it's not weird to have this kind of development. It's a dungeon, so whatever happens, it's not weird."

As a former guild master...... and Marina, who worked as an adventurer in the war before becoming an guild master, squeals so.

"Right. It's a dungeon, and it's not particularly unusual."

"Mmm."

Two people, Vihella and Büne, who worked in the labyrinth city, also agreed with the marina's words.

"To the dungeon of Eggzil, once we head downstairs just like this, then from there we head up to the top floor, from there we head further downstairs... well, should I describe it as 3D? It's not uncommon to have a structure like that, is it?

To that word of Vihera, I just have to say, is that what Ray and Elaine are...

Neither Ray nor Elaine, it's not like this is the first time they've dived into a dungeon.

Still, such a three-dimensional dungeon, Vihella said, has never been experienced before.

"It's just... if it's a three-dimensional dungeon this way, it's rare that the next staircase is one. Even considering the size of this forest, there are probably several other stairs... what do we do?

Do you want to look for some more stairs, or do you want to go down to the first floor on the stairs in front of you?

Which one do you want? To Vihera, who asks, Ray wonders what to do...... eventually makes the decision.

"Let's go down. This forest is too big, and if you miss this staircase, you won't be able to find the same staircase again."

After all, Ray, who made the choice to head downstairs, heads to the first floor with everyone.

It's more than not knowing what's going to happen the minute you get down to the ground floor, it's naturally a trip with vigilance around you.

So, eventually, down the stairs...

"Are you here?"

Ray's whining leaks around.

Located where we went down to the ground floor, it wasn't that there was a passage, it was one big space.

The reason Ray shrugged when he saw the space was because there were so many rocky plants there.

Even on the same ground floor, a rocky plant that had grown at the end of the line, from where the entrance to and exit from the dungeon was located to the Y-shaped road.

Such rocky plants existed densely in this space.

"I wanted a rocky flower, but seeing this sight, it's not very rare"

He was a reliever who wanted to bring home rock flowers as a souvenir to his wife Schmine, but how many, dozens, hundreds of spreading in front of him...... in some cases, he sees more rock plants than that and squeaks.

In fact, if you see all this growing, rarity and gratitude are not there.

Rarity or gratitude is what you feel because it's scarce.

Seeing it grow so massively, scarcity exists nowhere there.

"Anyway, if you want me to check out this rock plant in the guild, the more in kind, the better."

"Right.... It's just that that rock plant, it's not like it's a monster, but it's going to attack you. It's not that powerful of an attack, but with all that number, it'd be a bit of a hassle, wouldn't it?

Marina gaze is directed at massively growing rock plants.

This rocky plant attacks a nearby opponent even though he is not a monster.

(Most of all, even the Earth's plants have eating plants such as Haetrigtha, and if they are Elgin's plants, is it any wonder that there are plants that attack their opponents more aggressively?... As of rock plants, I doubt it quite a bit)

At the point of being a plant made of rocks, it's paradoxical...... if it's Elgin, I guess it's a sign that Ray's getting used to this world, too, that he doesn't find it particularly strange to have that much going on.

"Anyway, I'm gonna pick up that rock plant as much as I can and take it home. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about your luggage."

No one speaks against Ray's words proclaiming so.

I guess everyone is interested in what a being is called a rock plant.

Of particular interest is the marina.

Just the dark elves, even the rocky plants looked intriguing.

"I'd like to take it home from the roots if I could... you can't"

"You can't."

Ray answers to Marina immediately.

If they were alive, the rock plants would attack themselves in a prolonged manner, as was evident from the way they had been in contact before, and most importantly... now the rock plants at the end of their gaze were in an offensive position by judging the Rays as prey to see them.

"Marina!"

To Ray's words, Marina uses spiritual magic quickly.

What is also to be called a barrier by the wind was created, and the leaves of the rock, which were flown from the flock of rock plants, were successively diverted from one another by the barrier of the wind.

If this was the forest upstairs, near the river, it would have also been possible to create a stronger water barrier in the sense of defense... unfortunately, we cannot imitate that now that the river is not flowing.

No, I can do it if I take the time, but what I need in the present situation was that time.

"The attack itself isn't that troublesome... but with all these numbers, it's a bit of a hassle. Ray, I want to step forward, okay?

With a long sword in his hand, Lew asks Ray.

Exactly at a density that should also be called rampage rain, Leaving the rock leaves one after the other released from the rock plants to the wind barrier, Ray turns his gaze to Relieu.

"Then can I leave it to you?

Don't you think you can go? I don't even ask, and that's all I'm telling you lightly, Ray.

If you think of it as rank, Lew is bigger than Ray.

Worrying about such an opponent in front of an enemy of this magnitude is an insult.

I thought so, but it was Ray's word.

In fact, Lew returns a strong grin that there is nothing wrong with Ray's words.

"Okay. Marina, please."

"Yep. Lelew ran straight for the rocky plants. 'Cause to go with that, I'm gonna unbarrier the wind."

To Marina's words, Relieu nods...... with a long sword in his hand, rushing out at once with no hesitation or anything.

There was no question about Marina's spiritual magic arm, and it was such a sure way to run when the wind barrier was definitely lifted when I ran through it.

And... Without any betrayal of Relieu's trust, the moment Relieu tried to hit the wind barrier, the wind barrier that had so far prevented the rock leaves disappeared in an instant.

That's actually abruptly, as if you can believe it when they say there was nothing there.

As a result, Relieu succeeds in jumping out of the wind barrier without any slowing down.

If you jump out of the wind barrier, countless rock leaves will fly, naturally, that you've been preventing.

But Lew never slowed down in any way, and he kept moving on avoiding or slashing down countless flying rock leaves with a long sword.

It was countless flying rock leaves, but to be honest with you, if you try to relive it, the battle you've been going through has been somewhat tougher.

Only the top adventurer in the guild, the alias Rank A Adventurer, has dived through several battles against enemies that Lew has never survived in a normal adventurer.

For such a reliew, an obstacle of this magnitude is not an obstacle that cannot be dealt with, even if it is cumbersome.

"Heh... I'll do it"

Even from the barrier of the wind, one could naturally see the sharp sword judgment of Lew.

Viewed it, Vihera squeaks as impressed.

We had a couple of mock fights with Lew, but at that time it was just a mock fight, so I guess we weren't really fighting each other that much.

That's why Vihera was blinded by the way Lelew fights now.

Even though she is applying lipstick, the way she licks her red, glossy lips deserves to be described as slutty.

… What is in Vihera is a struggle to fight a powerful enemy.

As far as the wind barrier is concerned at all, I have a steady way of fighting so much that I don't think you need to worry about Lew at all.

"Now, as it's safe to leave Lew alone... shall we not go forward and turn to cover?"

It is still Vihera who makes Ray dissatisfied with his words.

There is not much more that can be done when it is a cover from behind than there is no means of ranged attack.

Still, I don't complain because it's Ray's instructions, but at least pick up the stone that's falling to the ground as an act of.

Whether or not it worked by throwing rock plants at their opponents was a delicate thing, but it was still the end result of thinking it was better than doing nothing.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Twenty wind arrows that Seto squeals and produces around it.

Regardless of the speed at which it is unleashed, the power itself is never a high attack… it is only if it deals damage to the enemy.

The power itself need not be concerned, because the purpose of covering for a reliever that is going in like this one is to divert the attention of the other from the reliever.

Most of all, I don't know if a rock plant would divert consciousness from its purpose by being hit with a wind arrow.

In the first place, we still don't know what the rock plants are.

I don't even know if there's a kind of self.

In some cases, you may be slightly out of consciousness from Relieu, but on the contrary, there is the possibility that you will continue to focus on Relieu without worrying about any of the attacks that have been made on you.

Other faces are ready to attack...

"Marina, that's good!

With that word, once the wind barrier disappears.

At the same time, thrown dusk spears, wind magic, wind arrows, long needles… various attacks are unleashed.

Many of them naturally hit countless flying rock leaves, attenuating their power… many of them vanish.

On the contrary, however, some of the rock leaves did not diminish their power at all.

One of those attacks is the twilight spear thrown.

Ray's magically dusk spear destroys the rock leaves from the edge of the bump...... no, it crushes.

The way it thrusts through one rock leaf after another will be just as vicious and in a nutshell.

The spear of dusk thrusts without diminishing any speed or power, and eventually even passes too far next to the reliw.

If I tried to relive it, the attack would have been totally unexpected.

But Lew keeps going without any movement... eventually, he arrives just outside the rocky plants.

... Originally, the rock plants here would have tried to fight back against Lew, who had come so close to himself.

That's just like when Ray first found a rock plant, not a leaf but a fruit… or a rock twat wrapped around a branch or body?

But Ray's thrown spear of dusk had pierced and crushed a significant proportion of the rock plants.

From the point of view of the objective of securing rock plants, it is obviously a failure… to the extent that there are more rock plants present in this space than to the extent that they have been crushed in the present blow, there is no problem at all.

As a result, there was little room for rock plants to be able to attack reliew after the spear of dusk had passed too far

Still, there was some counterattack, where a backup attack carried out by facades other than Ray was hit one after another, inhibiting the behaviour of the rock plants.

"Shh!

Arriving in front of the rock plants, Relieu flashes his long sword with a sharp voice... cutting off the rock plants.

That blow didn't stop Lew from moving, and the next thing I knew, he was cutting off the rocky plants that were growing around him.
