Maou no Hajimekata

"Well, as for exploration, this is where it comes from. Don't get distracted."

The volcano, which had been transformed into a dungeon, had a different atmosphere than the lava sinus, where rock walls had burst out like before.

The cobblestone is laid beautifully on the bumpy ground, and the lava flowing river is carefully filled to become a regular passage down the road.

"It seems easier to walk than before."

"Right."

In Hodeli's words, Oulu put up a cube. When the rectangular block of stone unfolds with a patter and becomes a long cane, it pokes at the floor about eleven feet ahead. As soon as the ceiling opened, filling it from the tip of Oulu's nose to ten feet away with lava flowing like a waterfall.

"... was silent"

"Seems to have gained an understanding. Above all."

There were traps like this when the Ouls went, but it was just Sakya moving the lava on her own every time as she watched the Ouls move.

What we've just activated against that is purely a mechanical trap set by Oulu.

If you stay alert, you will soon take the life of an intruder.

"This could be coupled with Sophia's obstruction. Don't be alarmed."

There was an ominous noise, as it blocked the words of Oul.

"Run."

It wasn't lava that cracked the ground and blew it out, it was tons of sea water.

There's only one person who can do this. If so, staying on the spot was a lower measure.

"Owl, excuse me."

That said, the slowest leg of all is Oul, a mage. Eunice lifts his body and runs sideways. Where in the small body was such a force, Eunice nevertheless ran faster than anyone else.

"My lord! This wave, if something stands for nature!

"Wait, Hodeli!

Sooner or later, Hodeli's body turns into a giant bamboo. And not long before Oul stopped, he threw himself into the turbulence.

"Get in, my lord!

"Don't stop, Hosseri!

Hosseri stops for a moment at the hodeli screaming as he makes his body dance in the pushing sea water. But to Oul's scolding she snorted, and ran after Eunice.

"Don't worry, my lord! This figure carries God and belongs to the beast, and if he gets on his back, he can breathe."

At that time there was a noise with Gacon, and there was a hole in the floor where Hodeli was going.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hodeli struggles against the stream of water that falls like a waterfall and swims to climb. But his tail was drawn by his daughter, who also had a tail similar to a fish.

Tatsuki, by the time Oul recognized his face, Hodeli's body had already disappeared into the hole with massive amounts of sea water.

"Oulu, which one!?

Still fleeing the pushing seawater, Eunice pointed the way forward.

"Right!

Not lost in Oulu's words, Eunice heads to the right path.

but that leg sank in as I took a step.

It's a pit here, too.

"Shit...... Huh!

If it were the usual unis, I would have kicked and jumped and avoided the lid of the pit that would open even from that state. But now she had Oulu in both hands. She can't even jump in that state on a boulder, and she falls as-is. After the two, Hosseri jumped into the pit without hesitation.

Good decision, whining inside, Oul stretches the cube to attract Hosseri's body.

"This is good. This is the shortest route."

With Eunice and Hosseri in his hands, Oulu covered his surroundings with an invisible labyrinth (La Burinthos). This pit wasn't meant to kill, it was meant to capture intruders.

The captured prey is naturally taken to the back of the labyrinth, and passageways for it are also set aside behind the pit. Therefore, it was the quickest way to go down this road.

The owls jump straight into the pool where the liquid is perceived to be. It was a buffer to cushion the impact of the fall so as not to kill the intruder, but also a trick to capture at the same time.

"What, this!?

But the contents were replaced separately from those found in Oulu's memory. What he has prepared is a kind of adhesive with strong adhesion. Therefore, an invisible labyrinth could have been avoided without being captured if it had been deployed and surrounded.

But what was there was a much less viscous liquid than Oulu had assumed. The invisible labyrinth that covers the Ouls is, as its name suggests, a defensive wall in the shape of a labyrinth. A viscous adhesive would have prevented it, but that liquid, almost no different from water, poured vertically and horizontally into the labyrinth and swallowed the owls.

"What is this..."

Nevertheless, it is easy to escape for less viscous minutes.

As the owls crawled up the aisle leading ahead, they glanced at the mucus tangled in their bodies.

"It's not poison."

"Oh. Something like poison degenerates as soon as you let it touch the air. I can't use it like this, so don't worry about it..."

Oul leans his neck inside as he explains to Hosseli, who says with a smudge of liquid on him.

That liquid, which was neither toxic nor particularly magical, was really only a little sticky enough liquid. Instead of sealing the movement, you won't be able to sharpen your combat power slightly. It seemed pointless.

"I wonder if Hodeli will be all right"

"It fell with all that sea water. If you don't have to worry about drowning, you'll be safe."

I hope Tatsuki hasn't eaten me, but that's not in my mouth, Oul said.

I know it's ok because you seem to be budding lately, but the woman named Tatsuki is the one I can hardest imagine what she's doing in the next moment.

I didn't even know if I was lending Sophia a hand or simply playing with a joke.

"Yeah. My brother is a bummer. Don't worry about it."

"Oh, yeah. I'm not worried about my life."

And, Eunice seems somewhat hard to say.

"Only one of you got caught in a trap and you're not depressed."

Oh, and Hosseri nodded. Sure, right after I vowed to serve Oulu again. I might care.

"I know somehow because I have a brother, but a man can be strong but quite mentally brittle,"

"There's definitely something like that"

Listening to the conversations of his sisters with his brother, Oul, the only man, made a uncomfortable tannic surface.

"Sora. Not if you're wasting your breath. Guests."

Showing the demons arriving from behind the aisle, Eunice's expression quickly transformed from a sister to that of a first-rate warrior. This moment of switching is what Eunice depends on, and it is also horrible. It should be noted that Hosseri is always faceless, and this one cannot be bottomed out here.

What struck me was a strange warcraft with a tiger's body, a serpent's tail, in a man's face.

That's what's making the herd with dozens, coming this way.

"It's a warcraft called Manticore. Watch out because there's a potent poison in the tail."

"That's . The poison of the tail snake is strong, so be careful."

Looking to it, Oulu and Hosseri said at the same time and looked at each other.

"Well, either way, if you slash it, it's the same."

Eunice says so in a light tone, flashing her sword as she cuts into the herd like a thunderbolt. The blow cut off the thick neck of the Warcraft, three heads together.

"Wop!

I wonder, the corpse becomes a lump of leaves and pours down on Eunice.

"Is this the art of Utsu!

"Oh already, depressing...... sorry Oulu, one went that way!

And to the sight, Oul finally understood the aim of the trap that had been put up earlier.

Low viscosity adhesives are not meant to seal motion.

It was meant to make the leaves stick.

Eunice waves her sword as she wraps the leaves around her whole body. Every time I wave, the Warcraft turns into a single leaf, which snaps further into her body. The leaves of the snagging tree blunt the movement, block the sight and take a normal heart at the unpleasant feeling.

Plain, but it was an effective trap.

"It shouldn't all be leaves of trees! There's one main unit somewhere. Take him down!

"I don't care what you say, Wapu... which one is it!

Eunice screams as she receives a leaf of tree on her face. It's easy to see through if it's just illusion, but because it's made of leaves, or because it's not magic, Utsu's illusion is hard to see through anyway. Even Oulu couldn't have broken through in an instant.

"Now I'm gonna broil it out."

But it's not like there's no way to deal with it. When Oul lays his mark and speaks a spell, he lays his hands flat on top of his chest. In the meantime, I wondered if a flame had arisen, and it quickly swelled up, becoming a running stream and enveloping the Warcraft.

Make it a manticore, and it's not as yawdy as dying from a flame of shine. but even if the figure is turned into a demon, its essence is the leaves of a tree. It worked on the surface if I lit it.

Hosseri hangs from the ceiling and inserts his sword into the last remaining neck muscle.

That seemed real and definite, and how the Warcraft fell and fell to the ground.

Whenever I think I can't see Hosseli, Oulu is impressed.

"Sasa but Oulu. I haven't seen you use attack magic in a while, but it's as accurate as ever."

Oul's flames had filled the entire aisle, but Hosseri and Eunice didn't have one burn to burn. Not as powerful as it is, but in terms of the precision of its aim alone, Oulu is undoubtedly one of the best magicians of our time.

"I can't burn all that on a boulder."

Take a leaf of tree on Eunice's cheek and Oul sighs.

One was just fighting on the front line, and she was almost full of leaves all over her body.

With so much tension, it's unlikely you can take it a little or softly on a boulder.

"Yeah. Let's just attack and take a bath together"

I'll give it to you then.

"When it's over. Don't relax."

Oul sighs as he pounds Hosseri's head as he leans over subtly.

I wasn't alarmed, but my vigilance also diminishes against traps that don't have lethal effects.

It would be Sophia's handle rather than Oulu's lapse that did not proceed after drying the mucus......

Again, I could not deny that I was happy and sorry for my son's growth in the idea of a trap that I did not have.

"Ah."

Further down the aisle, Eunice sounds delighted.

What was ahead of her gaze.

"Owl, it's a hot spring!

- It was a pond filled with hot water, whipping up hokahoka and hot air.
