Legend

"Wow... what can I say... wow..."

Ray squeaks as he looks at the sight of Lelew raging all over his mind.

For rock plants, the biggest attack was flying rock leaves in a row.

That too, because a large number of rock plants imitate such, the number of rock leaves was considerable.

However, such an attack could only be possible because the distance between the rock plants and the rays was more than constant.

In other words, if you get inside enemy intervals as Lelew did, the rock plants around you will attack, but you can't attack rock plants at a distance from them.

For Lelew, if such a small number of attacks, it was easy to dodge.

That's how I cut the rock plants one after the other...

"You know, Lew. You said you wanted to secure a living rock plant if you could, didn't you? Maybe you didn't hear me?

"Ugh... sorry"

To Marina's words, Lew bows his head very hard.

If this were someone other than the marina, I wouldn't have honestly imitated it so far as to bow my head.

But for Lew, Marina was the person he took care of when he was younger.

Just because I quit the Alliance Master, I couldn't imitate it so easily to change my attitude.

The others are wary of their surroundings, back to back with Lew, who is so angry.

Ray then stores the remains of one rock plant after another in mystering, surprised by the surrounding conditions.

I decided to keep the rock plants in storage for now rather than knowing what they were like.

That maybe it could be used for something later.

There is no particular problem, as it may not be of any use in the future, but there is no reason to take a place if you keep it inside the mysteries.

(Plus, a rock in the form of a plant, which would be vicious if thrown into a fire whirlwind)

With that in mind, I also think that if it meant securing the rock plants alive, I would have had to go back to Goltz once.

Even in the odd presence of rock plants, if alive, it was probably impossible to store them in mysteries.

And it's hard to move around the dungeon with rocky plants, and if you do poorly, you could destroy them with the shock of battle, even though they live in corners.

With that in mind, it was lucky for Ray in a way that he didn't have to go back to Goltz once.

"Gru!"

Seto squeaks when he puts the remains of a rocky plant that was a little far away on Ray's side.

Seto comes voluntarily with rock plants if he can help Ray at all.

Most importantly, it is a rocky plant with no problems at all if it is to be destroyed, but if it is to be brought under the ray while trying not to be destroyed, it needs to be brought with caution, as is natural.

If it was a monster around there, it was Ceto with a power that could be killed in a single blow, but if you use that power to the full, the rock plants will naturally break.

To avoid that, the rock plants needed to be covered with couchworms to prevent them from breaking.

"Sorry, Seto."

In Ceto, which puts rock plants on the ground, Ray quickly stores them in mysteries, with words of gratitude.

Fortunately...... I don't know how to say it, but Lew's blow is killing rock plants, not crushing them.

In other words, instead of collecting shattered rock species, they can store some chunky rock plants in mistering as they are.

In the end, by the time Marina finished preaching against Lew, the majority of the rock plants that were in this space had been stored in mysteries.

"Well, in the end there are no stairs up or down here... what do we do? Well, I think we're gonna have to go back."

No one disagrees with Vihera's words.

In fact, there's just so much space here. Because it's completely a dead end.

Above and beyond that...... the only option is to go back to the woods.

... Yes, I thought...

"Mmm!"

The voice of Büne, who was checking inside the room, echoes around.

If it were a regular Bühne, such imitation would not be the first.

In other words, Büne had to do something that needed to be imitated like that.

Wall... It's also near the wall opposite the stairs that the Rays came down, and Bühne makes a call towards the Rays.

For Bühne, it emits an atmosphere that seems unusual and delightful.

... Still, I'd say the look on Bühne's face hasn't changed, though, as always.

That's how when everyone gathers where Bühne is, Vihera opens her mouth on behalf of him.

"So, what's up? Did you find anything?

Vihera, not Ray, the party leader, asked, probably because Vihera is still the only one who can interpret Büne's will and words accurately.

Ray and Elaine, too, have been with Bühne for quite a while.

Nonetheless, for some reason, Ray and Elaine don't understand what Bühne wants to say about Vihella.

I even felt that there might be something else around here, not something like getting used to.

Even though I don't know the details, I can understand the general meaning, so I don't have a problem communicating.

"Mmm!"

Softly touch the nearby walls as Bühne is pointed at Vihella, and other facades.

A little force was applied to the wall touched, eventually pushing the wall being touched by Bühne.

Yes, that was evidence until it was clear that there was some trick on the wall.

As the wall is thus pushed in, part of the wall that was inside this space, which was thought to be the end of the line, shifts sideways in the shape of a rectangle.

In motion, as if the wall had become a laterally open door.

"... what a well no more"

It was Lew who squirmed unexpectedly.

I guess I had no idea this kind of trick was in this space.

In the first place, Lew is a warrior with a long sword as his weapon.

I don't have the technology to see through traps like a bandit or to find a place with a hidden passage......

Normally, an adventurer like that parties to eliminate his weaknesses, but in the case of Lew, he rarely originally challenged the dungeon, and with such things as his high physical ability and acumen of understanding, he has managed to do something about it so far.

Still, if you see Bühne showing off his skills as a bandit in this way, you honestly have the feeling that he's amazing.

Even if I have the impression that it's amazing, I don't want to imitate partying with bandits, which seems to be Lew.

I honestly think it's awesome, but in Lew's case, it ends there.

"So? What are we going to do, Mr. Party Leader?

To the gaze from Lew, Ray opens his mouth instantly.

"Keep going. Back in the woods, it's not like there's another staircase. Then we'd better move on through this hidden corridor."

Sometimes Ray's personal opinion was that there would still be quite a few unknown monsters in the woods up there, and it was an unmistakable fact that your heart would be attracted to you.

But it is also true that, given the strategy of this dungeon, we should move on.

Not to mention, the Rays can't say they want to hunt unknown monsters in front of Lew any more than they are here in the name of attacking a dungeon.

If you don't know about warcraft, the same goes for Büne... in Büne's case, I'm convinced that Vihela wants to fight unknown monsters or if she says she wants unknown monster meat.

The presence of Lelew, which Dusker generously attached to me, was only now, but only in the way.

It's also an unmistakable fact that Lew is helping a lot.

Vihera, in particular, has made a trial and error in trying to create new skills through a simulated battle with Relieu.

Of course, that's not just because of Lelew, it's also probably a conclusion derived from the various piles of combat that Vihella has been going through.

"Anybody want to go back to the woods?

For once it was Ray asking everyone, but I guess the one who actually wants to go back to the woods the most on this occasion is Ray.

The others say nothing against such a ray, and the rays go straight into the hidden passage.

"Once there may be a trap, we'll proceed in the same line as we did on the first floor."

Beune nods to Ray's words and leads the way, as do the others in the same line as they did on the first floor, along the hidden passage.

While looking at a passage similar to the space where the rock plants were, Ray decides that this is the same kind of building as the passage on the ground floor.

(If so, is it Y-shaped again?... No way, you're not that close together)

The Rays were moving on to see what was going on around them, but Buune stops, who was inadvertently leading the way.

"Mmm!"

He signals by hand to those who are moving behind him to stop, and when he crouches, he checks closely the ground, which is the same as the cave on the ground floor.

Eventually, after a few seconds of some manipulation, at the end of the aisle...... that's when a sharp spear suddenly popped out of the side about five meters away from where the Bühne was.

If I had stepped on that trap without realizing anything, I would have eaten a spear straight from the side and skewered it just in time.

Most importantly, if it were the Rays, it would have been possible to emulate the trap as soon as it was activated, so there would have been no damage per se.

Still, the fact that the trap has been lifted is definitely a pleasure if you try to be someone who goes inside the dungeon.

Even if we can deal with it, it's not funny that we're still hooked into a trap.

"Looks like some pretty vicious trap's been set up."

I nod to Elaine, who groans as she looks at the spear, as the others agree.

If it was the Goltz adventurer who challenged this dungeon, it is likely that he could not have done anything to discover this trap.

That's how I hooked up to the trap...... I'm pretty sure some adventurer was skewered by a spear.

Most importantly, there was the question of whether the Goltz adventurers could safely escape through the woods on the second floor of the dungeon… and manage to deal with the rocky plants that were present in large numbers in the large room and find the hidden passage found by Bühne on it.

That's it, and if you think you can finally get to this place, all you have to say is that the Goltz adventurers are loaded.

"Beune, be careful ahead. If anything happens, I want you to evacuate right here.... but it's not that far away."

To Elaine's words, Bühne whines and nods, 'Nm' as usual.

So satisfied, Elaine also turns her gaze to Ray without saying anything more.

Understanding the meaning of the gaze directed at him, Ray opens his mouth again.

"Well, let's just say we move on. Elaine also said, shall we proceed with caution? There's no way that this is the last time in the trap."

No one disagrees with Ray's words like that, and he starts going through the cave in the hidden passage again.

There is no particular kind of humidity, and temperatures are slightly cooler, but it is not enough to tremble when it is cold.

However, the ground does not mean that it is flat, there are parts of it that are exuberant or otherwise there are several stones rolling around which are very difficult to walk.

There were earlier traps, and I couldn't help but think that there was some kind of trap beneath such stones and places of exuberance.

In fact, there are times when Bühne has discovered and disarmed some of the traps in such places, so that's not too much to think about.

"Hmm?...... Hmm!

And now again, Büne, who notices a thin thread planted right on the ground, prompts words of caution before starting to untie them.

"You've had a lot more traps since you walked into this hidden passage."

Troublesome, Lew squeaks.

It's very uninteresting for an unskilled reliever who can discover a trap, a place where there are tons of traps set up like he is right now.

Because if you move around, that's likely to trigger the trap.

However, even if a trap is activated in the case of Relieu, most traps can be managed forcefully on their own.

That's also the trick of spears jumping out of the side that was set near the entrance to this cave, if it's a reliw, and then preventing and avoiding it after the trap is activated, and that's not a hard story to talk about when you're going to chop it off with a long sword.

Ray was worried about the words of such a reliever as to whether he should unlock the trap with his magic at once.
