Maou no Hajimekata

"... are you sure you want to go this way?

Filled with the smell of sulfur and smoked lava sinuses in front of her, Tena gave her a thoughtful look.

"You must be the one who recommended this mountain."

"That's not true..."

It was a cave made of high mountains, apart from Tatsuki's indication that there was a 'guy'.

Tena says it is a spiritual mountain with strong powers from ancient times.

Even if not, volcanoes are often places where the magic of dragon veins is erupting into the surface. Even from the point of view of obtaining magic, Oul saw it as the best place to create the next dungeon.

It's extremely dangerous in here.

Then why didn't you dungeon the volcano before, that's why.

Digging the groundwater and drowning is the most important thing to be aware of when making dungeons, but in lava sinuses it is a boiling rock. I can't even make dungeons automatically with dungeon seeds.

On top of that, it's filled with high fever and fierce volcanic gas, so making a dungeon wasn't a place for humans to live.

"That's why I made sure it was complete."

There are seven members: Eunice, Marie, Utsu, Spina, Oulu, Tena, and Sofia.

He left a message because he gave Lil the role of protecting the dungeon seed.

"Leave it to me!

Tena stared at the frigid smell of Eunice trying to make a lot of strength.

Little red-haired girl almost the same as herself when it comes to her height.

Taller than that, but a thin, silent brunette.

And a blonde girl whose death was promised, and a green-haired baby.

Not very much, but I didn't think I deserved a line through the harsh volcano.

In fact, if we continue like this, some of us can see a prediction of death.

I've already told Oulu about it.

"With your abilities, the danger should be avoided."

"That's not true..."

The problem is that we don't know what fate it will be after avoiding the danger until we actually try to avoid it. One or two crises, even if avoided by prediction, could have been blocked.

"Be prepared. Let's go."

Oul's hands gleam amber, and the light spreads through the ground to the walls and ceilings.

The part where the light licked up instantly transformed into a stone aisle.

"Blow it up, Sophia"

"Yes."

Sophia puts up a pin and a hand on Oulu's instructions.

As soon as I could, there was a storm in the passage I had just been able to do, and the toxic gas was swept away.

"Wow! Did Sophia do it?

"Sophie, I did it!

"... what is that face?"

Sophia squeezes her chest in a patchy, hand slapping unis.

Marie looked at the spina with a grin on her face that seemed somewhat complicated.

"Nothing constitutes a dungeon but passageways and rooms. What's inside of it is naturally part of the dungeon. Moving the air is tantamount to exhaling for Sophia"

The road leading up to this lava road is Oulu digging the underground. In other words, the lava sinus was connected to a Sofia dungeon, and if paved there seemed to be recognized as part of nature and Sofia.

"Then we move on. Tell them if there's any danger."

"... I have no choice"

Tena exhales loudly, with a short knife on her fingertips properly and a ju on her lid. With fox ears and tails out, her predictive speed and accuracy increased dramatically. The old flesh cannot keep the heavenly fox grated for a long time, so don't thank Oulu for this, Tena whines inside.

"A little further now, the lava pours down from the ceiling. Your Lord will die wearing it."

"Right. Let me know when you're three steps away."

To the prophecy of death. Oul walks away with Stasta without changing one expression.

Following its steps, the cave twitched and turned its appearance into a dungeon.

"We're leaving!

Exactly three steps from Tena's warning Oulu walked and a red-hot magma poured through the ceiling without any foretaste.

But that doesn't just take a drop of the oul, it splits left and right and flows off. Because the Cube of Oulu, the Invisible Labyrinth, became the way to prevent it.

"Sophia, open your mouth."

"Ahem."

As Sophia opened her mouth wide, at the same time, the floor opened wide and swallowed the magma with pleasure. In the meantime, Oulu repairs the torn ceiling and pulls the magma out.

"Hmmm...... still, that's unnatural"

Oul strokes his jaw in the dungeon where he regains peace as if nothing had happened.

"Wait! Hurry up and run!

That's when suddenly Tena started making so much noise.

"Tell them exactly what's going on. What's gonna happen?

"In lava! That, too, is massive! Nong and all the others will burn to death!

"I told you exactly. From which?"

Grabbing Tena's collar neck trying to escape, Oul asks calmly.

"In the back, in all the aisles!

The moment Tena screamed, the magma pushed over like turbulence.

It's not like water. It's a boiled rock that causes severe burns without touching it.

It is much heavier than water, and then the velocity is almost as bad as that of water.

It wasn't like it could be prevented by thin stone walls.

Sophia, it's water.

"Aye!"

Sophia gently put her arms forward on Oul's instructions. Then there are two holes in the floor, from which water blows out with tremendous momentum.

"Seawater, right?"

"Yes."

Feeling the slight smell of the tide crossing there, Spina glanced at him. The semi-slime girlfriend doesn't have access to swords or magic, but her only weakness is saltwater. When she bathes in salt water, she can't keep her body as a slime, and she can't absorb magic. Of course, sea water fell into that category as well.

Although not slimy, well cooled sea water was also extremely effective against magma.

The sea water, which hits with lava and makes noise all the time, instantly snatches away its temperature and lets it clot. Even if it's torn, the leaking magma turns into a wall repair.

As we continue with that, there can be a layer between the solidified lava and the pushing magma that is neither cold enough to solidify nor hot enough to melt the solidified lava. If that happened, it would have been okay to stop the water.

"You pulled water from Tatsuki's coming sea dungeon, didn't you?"

"Oh. The logic is the same thing that moved the air in the dungeon."

That's what Oul explained to Marie, who raised her voice as impressed.

"Is that it? It's an underground labyrinth, so it's natural to be able to move stones and soil, which means you can manipulate wind and water..."

Fu and Eunice realized that there was, and looked at the lava wall that could be done in front of them.

"Yes, if we keep this volcano in our hands, we'll have all four attributes"

Another aim that Oulu came to the volcano is that.

"... that, maybe Sophia, is more useful than me...?

"She's my daughter, of course."

Marie is stunned that I am smaller than when I came to the dungeon.

Sophia stroked her depressing head, okay.

"It's more than that. Tena, you weren't able to predict the lava until just a minute ago, were you?

"Speaking of which... I guess so"

For the first time since being questioned, Tena notices and nods.

"Is it the effect of the Lord blocking the ceiling first?

"What changes can happen to that extent?"

To a tena twisting his neck, Oulu exhales in fright.

Even with his ability to predict corners, he was a treasure spoiler in this way.

"Your prediction is confirmed. I can only see the future. And if the prediction changes the future, you can't see it until it actually changes."

"Then your future changed when the Lord blocked the ceiling and didn't die. Is that what this is all about?

Tena's words are not wrong word for word.

But only the most important information was missing.

"That's right. But that's not why blocking the ceiling changed the pressure of the lava or the direction of flow."

"... what do you mean?

"It's a simpler story."

Oul had thinly guessed it before stepping into the lava sinus in the first place.

"I killed him, so I let go of the chase. That's all."

"What? Then it's like..."

Proceed unpredictably and you will die, Tena said.

Though somewhat dangerous, there is no way that a party with two dungeon masters, Oulu and Sophia, escorted by hero Eunice, would die so easily in just an exploratory row.

"Doesn't this cave seem to be trying to kill Noona?"

"Absolutely."

Then this is not just an exploratory line.

"Precisely another dungeon master who will unite this cave,"

It meant he was already in the enemy's stomach.
