Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"This place..."

It was in the middle of a plain close to the sea.

And in front of us stands a gate without doors made of crystals.

Apparently this is the entrance to the ruins of Magna.

When I look inside that gate, I see a staircase leading down to the basement.

At the end of the stairs is deep darkness because there are no lights, and I don't know how far it lasts.

This vibe... I knew it couldn't be a glimmer.

"Then Master Jill, I'm with this"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work"

"Ha... good luck"

That's what the user of metastatic magic said and disappeared.

After Jill drops it off, he turns to us again.

"So, do you really have supplies?

Put your hands on your hips and stare at us with a suspicious eye.

Wow......

Mr. Graudi sighed, repeating the explanation, which had earlier been West Gate.

"I just got ready... As I said earlier, keep it down with the power of the load and don't worry, we'll have it separately for three"

Tents, cooking tools, food and water, etc. are dwarfed by the power of Kadukeus, which ensures a considerable amount.

We're splitting it up just in case.

"Fine...... then let's go"

Finally convinced, Mr. Jill begins to descend the stairs without hesitation.

We rushed after her back carrying a giant spear, too.

There are no lights on the stairs leading down to the basement and I can't even see my feet well.

"Jill! Use this. Take this."

"Mmm...... oh, sorry. I can see it even in the dark."

Mr. Grawdy lights a pine light and hands it to Mr. Jill.

Jill's skills are "night vision".

As its name suggests, you can clearly see things even in the dark.

"Let's go with caution. I've never been over it early, but if they do, there's no ex or kid. I'm sure these four will be fine."

Slowly descend the stairs illuminated by the pine light that Jill holds.

Mr. Grawdy said it would take as early as a week or so to get to the deepest point.

It seems that this site has been quite a few days since its discovery, and the route to its deepest depths has been established to some extent.

Still, it doesn't cover all the vast underground labyrinths, but there are still many mysterious parts.

"The problem is demons and dragons. I want to keep my magic as warm as I can because it will be a long street. Waste of battle should be avoided"

"Then I'll come forward. If we get some distance, we can sense life."

I could ask Richvek to help me, but Mr. Graudi's right. You shouldn't use as much magic as you can.

I don't consume magic if I just sense life.

"Then Lord pines. I'll give you directions."

"Fine. Alert the back with me and Levi"

"Yes, sir."

Reunite and we'll even go down the stairs.

A few minutes later, the stairs finally ended and we entered a narrow passage like a cave.

From all the way down the aisle, we see a thin, pale light, and we continue down the aisle so that the blue and white light can lure us into it.

Eventually what arrived was such a large space that it did not seem to be underground.

"Wow..."

"I've never been in there before too... wow this is..."

Looking up, something is brilliant in the distance, as if it were a star glow.

As tall as it was down the stairs... how the hell did you build this?

"Don't fall, okay?

"Huh? Wow!

I didn't realize because they were all distracted up there, but the scaffolding we're on was like a cliff, and there was so much darkness down there that I didn't know how far it was going.

Looking further forward, a number of things stand like giant columns made of rock, each of which is connected by a bridge.

The pillars also seem to continue deep underground.

"I don't need a pine light for a while. Shut up, Lord."

"Oh yes... this is... what is this"

"I'm talking about the residence of the guys who built this dungeon. The columns are hollow and there are a number of rooms inside. The brightness is probably due to the luminescent crystals found in the rocks. I don't know why they've been emitting light like this for over 10,000 years."

"I see..."

"Have you finished your lecture? Then let's go."

"Wait."

Mr. Grawdy stops Mr. Jill for trying to cross a bridge that stretches out of the scaffold.

"Shit... if there's more to it, I'd like you to stay on foot?

"Oh man... it usually takes a day just to get down this pillar. The columns are hollow, but they're not built to go all the way down. I have to go down like a whale through a bunch of columns standing in line."

"Thanks for the detailed explanation, Grawdy. But I know that. I guess that's why we're in a hurry!

"You've never been to the depths... or yell at me one way or the other. Damn...... you forgot my magic?

"Ah... hey..."

Mr. Grawdy's magic is the magic of manipulating gravity.

So sure......

The moment I thought so, Mr. Grawdy's body fluttered.

"This is the main road down there. Let's just get down there. Touch my body and your gravity will be lighter too. You said a week early, didn't you? That means if I were here, it would usually take more. Follow me if you know what I mean."

"Hmm...... ok"

Placing his hand on Mr. Grawdy's shoulder, he feels his body lighten as soon as possible.

That's amazing... this is my first feeling.

"Mr. Grawdy didn't use this then..."

"Oh, that makes it easy to get it out of the office if you use this... you know what I mean? It was the final because of it, and I'm not happy to win like that. Miscellaneous fish blew it up and ended it, but I wanted to bee with you guys who endured it."

"Ha... I see"

"Come on, Grawdy!

"Ugh... don't yell at me in the ear. Okay, let's go."

That's how we started falling into the dark.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Slowly falling downstairs looking at the huge number of columns.

I've had a few trips to the dungeon, but this is the first time you've seen it from the outside.

Once again, I can see the enormity of this dungeon.

Nevertheless......

"Grawdy, are you sure the monsters aren't coming?

"You persevere too...... not in the pillars but it's fine out there. It's almost from the lower tier that the dragon appears, and the only thing here is the Miscellaneous Fish Demon. I've been down here many times."

I've known him for a long time, and I recognize his strength... but I don't trust this light-hearted guy.

"After all, will the monster be strong enough to go downstairs?

"Oh yeah. This dungeon is divided into upper, middle, lower... and deepest. This upper echelon, where we are now, is often driven away before demons become stronger because adventurers come frequently. But in addition to the fact that not many adventurers come from around the middle, demons eat dragons, and dragons eat demons and become stronger with each other. It's because only a strong man will survive."

"I see. So the dungeon has its own ecosystem."

"That's what happened. Pretty funny, huh?

"Dear Grawdy, I'd like to ask you something too."

"Ask me anything. Because I know this dungeon very well."

These guys...... Hi, I'm not nervous enough.

Whatever Grawdy is, all I care about is Lord and Levy.

I do know you have good magic.

Well, admit that guy... he's here, and I couldn't help but wipe my anxiety because there weren't any other powerful adventurers...

In the worst case scenario, you should also think about fighting the Divine Beast with me and Graudi alone......

"... n"

"What's up, Lord?

"This... from below...!

When I look down in response to Lord's voice, I rip out the darkness and the dragon shows up.

Is that... Winged Claw Dragon Species (Wyburn)!

"Dear Grawdy......!

"Stupid...... there shouldn't be any dragons here!

Shit... so don't trust me!

I don't know if we can fight in this state, but we have to do it anyway......!

"Talaria, Lizil"

"Dear Lord, whenever"

"I got it."

"Hey! You guys are on your own......!

Without even asking for a halt, Lord falls rapidly away from Grawdy.

Soon his hand was held by a golden sword, and Lorde was unquestionably headed straight for the Winged Claw Dragon Species (Wyburn).

But then...!

"To feed the breath" Brace "......!

"Ha!

Shortly afterwards something was released from Levi's hand, overtaking the road, which captured the face of the Winged Claw Dragon Species (Wyburn).

"Gwow!?

At the next moment, the top had disappeared from the neck of the frightened pterygoid dragon species (Wyburn).
