Sanzen no Souru Supina
Night ■145: Sludge King Kakuri
I see, that's what happened.
With his arms framed, the Imperishable King: Cure the Bain roared and showed him.
"I understand that the location of the Dragon Grotto is a taboo for you. So this time, we will not enter through that passage of the Underground Empire. We just want to make sure that someone has not dived across the barrier before.”
I'm talking about Izuma, the Earth Spider King.
“I understand that there will be a mutually inviolable arrangement between you and Smaugard. Even if it is a one-sided coercion, there is a reason why you cannot appear in the earthly world. Isn't that right?"
"Mmm."
And the king of the sludge roared again, as though he could not bring it out of his mouth.
As Ashlee deduced, it must be in conflict with taboos.
"Perhaps if there was an intruder in the Dragon Cave from the Underground Empire, you would have been severely punished, from the exceptional Dragon King: Smaugard"
Imperfect King: Cure the Bain will not speak in silence.
"Perhaps, but it's not just about your own behavior, is it?" Wasn't it, for example, an arrangement to defend against alien incursions from the Underground Empire? "
"Squeeze"
The impure king's attitude, which was only shortened, reinforced Ashlee's confidence in his own discourse.
"If Izuma stepped into the dragon hole from the rift that was opened in the accident, like the passage in the example." Won't you be held accountable by Smaugard? Of course, the dragon king disappeared: if Smaugard were alive──. And that blame is fierce and intolerable, isn't it? No. Isn't that right? Cure the...... even if I take you with me. "
Probably destroying intelligence, thoughts, and emotions, Ashlee imagined the suffering of the Cure The Sludge (Ooze) Knights.
Ashlee's hypothesis is correct.
If there was only one discrepancy, the Unclean King: Cure the Bain was not afraid of pain.
He was frightened that he would not be able to understand or feel the distinctive beauty of the civilization that they had built, the distorted but sludge knights had created underground.
With all their cultivation, intelligence and sensitivity, Smaugard can be destroyed via the Crown of Pain.
I mean, culture.
The man who was called the Unclean King was scared of the loss of their cultural base.
It is extremely difficult to read the heart of an impure king who is not a human from his expression.
However, his distress was imbued with stubborn silence and the strength that appeared in his arms.
Assuming that, Ashlee continued.
"That's why I want us to settle this mess." This is our squad's problem. At that time, I still had no alliance with you. They were rather enemies. But not now. One of our squadrons might have broken your taboo. If so, our squad will have to take care of it. If it's the tyrannical Dragon King: touching the backsliding of Smaugard and causing trouble for you, this is── definitely a case we should take responsibility for. ”
The King of Sludge (Ooze) roared briefly at Ashlee, who had finished his speech.
Close longitudinally cut eyelids and sink.
Once again, when his eyes were opened, his intentions were settled.
"I will allow you to investigate the crack in the dragon hole." However, it is strictly forbidden to cross that border and enter the other side. Is this all right──? "
Ashlee nodded deeply at the judgement of the alien but now aspiring sludge king.
As a result, the investigation of the passage leading to Dragon Hole has borne fruit.
Specifically, it was further proven that Izuma had reached the dragon hole through the hole.
A fat tail that he had always lowered on his waist fell a thousand cuts into the aisle.
The passages were decorated and, at the same time, tightly sealed thanks to the unique culture built by the Knights of the Sludge (Ooze).
The Ashleighs investigated as they managed to dive through the gap.
"This... I thought it was just a hole because it was a crack, but it wasn't." Is the dimension distorted? It looks like the landscape on the other side is beyond the oil film, and it can be seen swaying in rainbow color..... "
“That's right. Don't get too close to the bypass, Mr. Ashlee. As soon as you wave, you're dragged to the other side. No, that's all right. How long can you maintain this steady state? This is still the same as the Overlord's Sealed Earth (Domain)... [Closure Corridor]. This is the dimensional passage created by colliding with the reality on our side."
Spatiotemporal twist = Ashlee's view that visually confirmed the identity of the aisle was confirmed by a potash reinforced by the princess of the earth spider.
Ere, who had identified some items Izuma had left behind that he had processed into his tail, was still telling Ashlee.
"This fox's tail is a powerful spell tool made by processing the Nine-tailed Fox's tail." It can only be used once, but it has the ability to transfer several people together. It's one of the trump cards. "
Nine-tailed Fox
"It's the strongest demonic beast with an oriental origin." Izuma possessed his tail only because he surrendered to it. it's been left behind in a place like this..... "
"It may have been played at the boundary that is also in the active state of dimensional twisting." Or...... the Dragon King's barrier without going through the demon beast. "
Elma gives her opinion to her sister, Ele.
Anyway, that was all the clues we got in the investigation in an instant.
If I could find the footprints, I would have been able to confirm them even more clearly, but Izuma the Earth Spider, who is said to have been the origin of the human world's── secret detective, is the king.
A perfect hideout that deceives even the sharp vibration sensors of the Sludge (Ooze) Knights.
Not even Ele and Elma could find any trace of it.
Ashlee reported the clues she had learned to the Unclean King: Cure The Bain, and asked for additional information about the Dragon Hole.
"When it comes to the Dragon Hole, the approach from the underground world has no other means than that passage." All I can know about the dragon hole is that it is the sanctuary = sanctuary of the dragons. Although rare, the dragons were also deeply wounded. It's an earth spider trap that points a distorted affection at the things that symbolize the sky. This is even more unusual, but it depends on whether or not the dragons are in love with each other..... "
That's all I can say.
Ashlee shook his hand and asked the sludge (Ooze) king, who was somewhat ashamed of his impudence.
"That's enough, Cureza." That was a tip more than anything. A sanatorium. But a sanatorium in an aerial garden. How the Dragons heal their wounds. I wonder if there is also a hot spring (terme). But we need a volcano for that, don't we? I wonder if there are other sources of heat. Hmm. I don't know how you keep it, but it's somewhere. The landscape that you see across that aisle is in the basement of this aerial garden. "
"Be careful, Ashle Dow. I don't know why Smaugard disappeared, but his attempts to set foot in a very private place, such as his territory or his sanctuary, are unconditionally a dragon adversary. It will be clear from the fact that Kaoru has imposed a forbidden contract on us. and....."
And what?
"I was concerned that the other side of the aisle you saw was divided by the boundary with the [Closed Corridor]." Normally, it's something you can't visualize... but perhaps it interfered with my forcefulness as an overload. Now I can see it. if possible, ”
"You're telling me there's an overload over there, right?" When there is a mighty being, "
Slowly, Cure the Bain nodded.
"Thank you. It's a useful warning with a warning." I'm going to fulfill my promise. "
"Don't die, Ashley Dow. This is the end of the picture, but my heart is shifting from being a knight to being a knight. I don't want to lose my buddies at this age."
"It's a pity I can't drink with you."
"If you can get rid of the pile of pain and the crown that has been pushed into us, there is no better reward than that. I don't think you're the kind of man who would hand over beautiful princesses."
"One way or another, I'm thinking about how to get you guys back to human form." If we can get back to being humans, I'm sure you'll be in good hands. Much more than me. "
Ashlee's remarks to the Imperishable King: Cure Thebaine apparently did not view them as mere jokes.
He smiled bitterly and said he couldn't help it, but he sent out a good fight.
"I pray that your [dream] will come true."
Say that.
