Maou no Hajimekata

There are no stairs in the lowest level and in the space Floro and the others call it. It is literally the lowest level that spreads flat to the side, and the lowest floor. That was all they lived in.

If you return the back, the staircase leading up is no longer the lowest level.

"Stop."

It was the lower realm, where the lowest human being was not allowed to step in.

"In a good place to step on your feet before this..."

"Is that it? Can't I, too?

Against the guards who put up their spears and commanded them to stay high, put a face from Oulu's back, Radico.

"La, Lady Radico! The... these guys."

"Yeah. Master Folio asked me to take you. Ooh."

"Excuse me!

When Radico answered as Nico nicked, the guards quickly pulled the spear and paved the way.

"Is there a rank among the lower human beings?"

"That's right."

Sarnak while scouting guards dropping off the Ouls in an upright immobilization.

"Those guys are down there among the lower levels. These are the kind of people who would be blamed for having direct conversations with Radico, who leads the Middle-Wall clan."

It's overlooked because of who it is in the line of duty and more than that, Radico herself doesn't care about such things, but I can't complain about some of the other people getting hit in the neck for disrespect. Someone in that position.

And even such are above Sarnak, the lowest ruler. And all that dwell in the lowest realm are slaves, and the bottom of all that dwell in this wall.

"... I didn't know we were going to leave the bottom tier this way..."

Abominably groaning, Sarnak steps on the stairs.

"This way. Hey, Oul-kun!

Without noticing any swirling thoughts inside of it, Radico lightly runs down the lower hallway.

"... no"

"What's up, Oulu?

Floro tilted his neck to Oulu, who grumbled as he followed him.

"The age of the floor stone is different."

"Of floor stones... age?

And to the utterly meaningless words that returned, she stared at the floor following Oulu's gaze.

"It looks the same..."

"No, it's not. A hundred or two hundred years? It's older on this floor."

Even so, Floro has no idea what's different from the floor I've seen enough to get bored at the bottom. But Oul seemed certain.

"Which means the bottom tier was later created."

In the first place, floors and ceilings are made of the same material as "Mother's Wall". I mean, it doesn't decay, it doesn't break, it doesn't hurt. There shouldn't be any degradation due to age, and there shouldn't be any reason to make a difference in appearance even if there was a century-old difference, as Oul put it.

"Really?"

But Floro was not particularly interested, so he hammered without denying or affirming what Oul said.

"Everything in this world has its own inherent magic fluctuations, emitting it around, albeit in polar traces. But this gradually diminishes when it is detached from the magic stream. If it is life, it is when he dies, if it is rock, it is when he is cut out of the earth. Even so, it doesn't consume magic itself, so the decrease in volatility is very slight. It is extremely slight that it will be halved in about five thousand and five hundred years. But even though the lowest floor stones were almost constant magic fluctuations everywhere, the fluctuations in this hierarchy are clearly diminishing. If that's all, then maybe the original stones are just different in nature."

"I see."

Floro had come to understand step by step that Oulu's words at times like this should be heard as hard as possible.

"... that?

Unexpectedly, Radico's leg stopped walking forward. When I saw what the hell was going on, the aisle was blocked by the ruins of a stacked bed and a desk.

"Who did this to you? Get out of the way."

"Wait, Lady."

Oulu rushes to stop Radico from spinning his bragging iron arm.

"It would be annoying to hear a loud noise blowing with your power. It would take time if you were doing one thing at a time. There's no other way?

"Yeah, well, over here"

Floro stroked his chest down relieved by Radico, who could honestly pull his arm in. This is the corner where the enemy can break in undetected. I almost ruined it if I destroyed all this rubble at once.

"... that? But wouldn't Oulu have been able to move through the wall?

"Which way can you use your precious magic for such a thing? I told you, it requires a lot more advanced manipulation than it looks."

To Oulu's answer, Floro is convinced that's what it is. To be honest though, what he called the "amount of magic" was not a very pinnable concept for Floro.

Without it, you can't use witchcraft, but Floro, who freshly remembers witchcraft, doesn't have the feeling that magic is gone. On the contrary, I don't even know how much magic I have or how much it takes to get rid of it.

"Ah!"

Again, suddenly Radico, who goes forward, stops his leg. But it was different when I hit it earlier, and it was bright.

"Dear Folio!

Because at the end of the journey there was a figure of a winged tribe with green hair.

"Wait."

"Kiku. What's wrong, Oul-kun?

Oulu holds down Radico's roots as he tries to rush over reflexively.

"I'm sorry."

Lightly open the pastries and wings, says Folio.

"I wonder if you could give it back to me, that child."

Strange thing, Oul thought. The ceiling of this dungeon is not that high. It's about ten feet at most. It's too narrow for a winged species to operate like that. At a height that you can reach even if you fly, you have little advantage in flying.

"What if I said I can't do that...?

Oul tries to hug Radico from behind and asks.

"Well, sometimes, you can't help it."

A flame came up in Folio's palm.

"I'm just going to do the job you told me to do from above."

It instantly becomes a giant flame and is thrown towards the oul. I'm going to burn all the Radico that Oulu has.

"Chip!"

When Oul takes out the dungeon cube with his empty right arm, he manipulates the invisible labyrinth (La Burintos) and creates a wall like a shield. The flames that came into contact with the wall exploded with a roar and scattered sparks around.

I'm understanding it accurately.

Oul raved to Sarnak that dungeon cubes could also prevent flames and poisons, but that's half, not true. Although it is true that it can be prevented, high temperature flames were one of the weaknesses of the dungeon cube.

Because even if you can prevent the flame itself, you can't prevent it until the heat it emits. However robust the walls surrounded it, in front of the enormous heat it is only the camad that bakes up the oul.

The scorpion bee I used for Radico is also pointless in front of a flame that emits such a wide and high fever. As soon as I let it go, they'll burn everything to death.

"You've prevented it in a long way."

Folio laughs as he floats the next flame in his palm.

"I knew I could manually manipulate that wall."

"Dear Folio! Stop it. Hey!

Radico spreads his short arms to the fullest and covers his oul. Folio looked at the figure with indifferent cold eyes.

"I'm totally stuck. I'm sorry, but I don't want one of those guys."

Then throw the flame that you have created in your hands as soon as you can with your arrows.

"No, ugh...!

The heat travels even apart the walls as far away as possible, and that accelerates even further.

"Radico."

Oulu bows slightly and squeaks in his dog-like ears on Radico's side head.

"... Huh?

Unexpectedly she looks back and looks up at Oulu.

Oul kicked the back out of his head.

"Become...!

At the same time it opens the wall created by the invisible labyrinth (La Burintos) and closes it again as Radico passes through it. Inevitably, Radico was exposed to countless flames in his defenseless appearance.

And the next moment.

"... you were right, weren't you?

"Ugh."

On the verge of hitting Radico, all the flames were extinguished.

"As Oul-kun told me to believe in Master Folio, you turned it off properly, Master Folio!

Namely, it was all Bluff who was trying to engage Radico and attack him. It's an attack to claim to Oulu that the hostages won't work.

"... nigga"

Folio bites his back teeth tightly. In fact, I couldn't put out the flames in some time. To be more precise, the flames burst on the invisible walls before they hit Radico and even more before the folio disappeared.

Beyond the shield made of an invisible labyrinth (La Burinthos), there was an invisible wall like a small room wrapped in Radico. This means that Oulu didn't intend to sacrifice Radico.

"You're gonna do it."

If you're the kind of person who shields Radico here and kills him, it's always been easy to do. Folio rewrites Oulu's character reviews in his mind again.

He said it's a few steps more troublesome than I thought.
