Lesson 14 Let's Burn the Coward -2

"Run!"

"What, eh?"

Sophia flies out of the room, as if she could be rushed by Oul's voice.

"Capture me!

"Uh, uh!?

There Xana's order flew, and the soldiers arrived at her. Holding the paperwork that was on its way to reading it as a stone thrown from an oul on its chest, Sophia manages to scratch the arms of the men stretched out from all directions.

"Hey... wait, whoa!

I manage to escape by utilizing my small, small, effective body, but Sofia, who left the dungeon, is only a girl. Although I acquired the ability to act away from my dungeons as I grew, my power as a God could only be used in my own realm.

I just want to master this ice castle itself as my dungeon if I can, but that doesn't come true either. You have to have your own dungeon adjacent to make the building your own.

For example, if you dig tunnels into the ground from a Sofia dungeon to connect with the bottom of this castle and occupy it from there, you can do it. But without the preparation of such a tunnel, it was unlikely that we could even reach the bottom.

Sophia loses her escape path, surrounded by tenacious soldiers without a gap.

"Oh, this..."

Sophia noticed unexpectedly before the men jumping.

At the same time she squeals, the soldiers are suddenly blown away and roll down the ground.

"hey...... what happened!?

The platoon leader, who escaped difficulty because of his slight rearward position, turned a blind eye to the sight in front of him. There is no question that it was that girl who rolled down the ground and blew up her groaning men, not even at her old age.

But I had no idea how. The girl didn't wave her arms or cast any spells. Their Lord, Xana, the Ice Queen, and the activation of the ultra-fast technique are accompanied by minimal but chanting. But Sophia didn't see any such signs.

Besides, we don't even know how they attacked us. It wasn't like the wind was winding or the light was blinking, just the soldiers rolling down the ground.

Then we'll have to stun them sooner than they attack us. The captain's spear, which protrudes the shortest distance, will not reach Sofia's body, however, blocked by something invisible and rigid.

but at that moment he realizes the way he defeated the soldiers.

"Ok......"

His consciousness interrupted the moment he tried to scream.

"I'm sorry, you know, get out of the way. Hey!

There was a voice of a girl somewhere out of place in the hallway where the soldiers crowded in a gloomy way.

"Stop it - get out of the way! Please, don't interrupt!

Every time those words are raised like screams, the soldiers are blown away and roll down the ground.

One of the soldiers who boiled the business holds a bow and shoots from behind Sofia.

"Wow!?

Sophia screamed after the arrow bounced in front of her and rolled to the ground. That means that attacking her blind spot from outside recognition is prevented.

"... a giant!

One of the soldiers screamed.

"Think the invisible giant is protecting him!

Sophia's blow is so strong and heavy that a trained soldier becomes incapacitated by a single blow. You're manipulating the wind, this isn't how you're supposed to go. There is some irrationality with colorless, transparent giants, etc., but if I knew so, there was something in my hand.

With a slight glance, the soldiers strike Sofia from front, back, left, right, and four directions simultaneously.

... and at the same time they were all blown away.

"- There are more than two giants!

That desperate information is immediately shared.

"Stay back!

A soldier dressed in a coat of law comes forward and casts a spell as he sets his mark. A fierce cold air blew out of its palm, enveloping Sofia's surroundings.

"What, what!?

Sophia gave a cheerful voice, unchanged, even though she was surrounded by cold air that allowed even the dripping droplets to freeze in their intact form, but it worked. The slight moisture present in the air became a fine particle of ice, which gave rise to the appearance that surrounded Sofia.

"... what is this..."

And to its unspeakable appearance, the soldiers uniformly lost their words. What I imagined was a giant without a weapon armed with a shield or armor.

But what actually emerged was a strange monster, stretching out countless tentacles as if it were an isoginchuk. That's completely covering up Sofia. Now it was pointless to attack in any direction and at any time.

That's a chunk of stone that Oulu threw at him. Turn it into a weapon that only he can handle in this world, a small dungeon for mobile use. It was the Dungeon Cube and its basic function, the Invisible Labyrinth (Labulinthos).

"What, what's going on!?

Along with Sophia's screams, tentacles twist and fly the soldiers around her. That's not exactly a tentacle, it's a small dungeon aisle.

Outside his realm dungeons, Sophia is just a girl who looks like she can't use witchcraft or martial arts.

But there was the only exception.

If it is a dungeon granted and lent by its owner, it can be manipulated according to its own accord. For Sophia, the god of the dungeon, it is naturally as if it were breathing.

The result was this. The passage that swings in confusion is what jumps the big man like a giant arm, and neither the sword nor the spear can destroy its outer wall. The technique of blown cold air is also pointless in front of a stone labyrinth that contains little water and air.

Oulu is an extremely fine combination of witchcraft that changes the shape of the Dungeon Cube tens of thousands of ways, making it more than a hundred functions. But if you put it on Sophia, it's even raw.

Sofia is a dungeon, and the dungeon is Sofia. It reshapes as she wishes and moves like a creature without any need for movement. He was a craftsman impossible even for Oulu, such as sifting through an invisible labyrinth (Rabulinthos) aisle like a weapon and knocking his enemies out.

"No...! Pull!"

Sophia stroked her chest down relieved at the soldiers who saw no hitter or were withdrawing quickly. Even though we know that the exterior walls of the dungeon will never be broken with that degree of armor, it's still horrible for a young girl to be surrounded by hostile opponents. And attacking it.

"Maybe this way..."

Relying on memories of just walking once, Sophia follows the path. It's Marie's room across the street. Inside the castle is large, and Sophia doesn't know which room the Maries were led to. Because I was guided separately and headed directly to my seat at the meeting.

But the castle is only large, not a labyrinth. The aisle was not designed to lead people astray, and the placement of the room is very honest. In light of the inevitability and convenience, the location of the room where Marie and the others were guided was roughly considered.

The conference room Sophia popped up in is at the tip of a high spire, in other words, the deepest part of this castle. By contrast, it should be a room close to the entrance. Structurally, conveniently or psychologically, there is no hand to stay elsewhere.

I mean, we have to step from top to bottom of this castle. Noticing that fact even more now, Sophia shuddered her body small.

The soldiers pulled away, but naturally I don't think I'll give up on that one. We turned the Oul completely against the enemy. At any rate, it must be interfering with Sofia's behavior. We have to cut through it by ourselves.

"What shall we do..."

In a properly quiet, icy passage.

Sophia's little voice sounded slightly.
