Episode 25: Out of Growth Route

There was nothing in particular to say about encounters with demons until they reached the Ten Hierarchies.

Well... the demons that came out didn't seem like they were dealing with each other.

If we change our point of view, we can also say that we were bitten off by our own growth.

If I were you, I might have spent half my term attacking Ticky Holy Ruins, while living a school life that grew a little bit.

But by the time we got here, there were too many harsh irregular events.

Deadly struggle with a flock of bluegoblins.

My first encounter with Hibigami.

Operation Giant Crusade.

Killing each other with the Four Ferocities disaster.

A showdown with Noise.

The Great Sacred Ground Raid of the Final No Ten Display Army.

Death Struggle with Skorbanger.

I don't know...... I feel stronger on the changeball route off the regular route as I dive through abrupt combat events.

What's more, I had a top swordsman like Mr. Currier and Captain Sochute do some archery.

"Gahhh!?

If you noticed, we were defeating the Great Lizardman, a ten-story guardian species.

Cecily smiles furiously at her weakness.

"Yes, breaking ten tiers in a day...... isn't that the fastest record when you do poorly, this?

I don't know what this feeling is.

Yes - a game or something, for example, that might be close to the feeling of being back in the main route dungeon overwhelmingly above the aptitude level.

With a smile, Mr. Cecily looks a little blue.

"My built long-term offensive plan, it might not have made much sense..."

In the wind of skipping a follow up for some reason, I said.

"We still have a long way to go! It's not just the strength of demons in the future. Difficulties may arise - yup, don't be alarmed!

First we defeated the Protective Species. We reached the Eleven Hierarchies.

I found the right room again and decided to take a break there.

I haven't felt tired yet.

Check your pocket watch.

The usual time for dinner had already passed on the ground.

"It's true that you're not that hungry when you're inside the Holy Ruins."

Thanks to this, a month's worth of food also fits into this backpack.

Does this hunger thing feel like eating one meal a day?

"In the Holy Relic attack, when you're done with the day's strategy, the rest is basically eating in a safe room and going to bed."

By the way, it's a safe way to tell a room, but the more rooms near the stairs that connect the hierarchy to the hierarchy, the lower the rate of monster intrusion and appearance.

Demons can't move the hierarchy in the stairs.

Maybe it has something to do with this too.

"What do you want to do?

Sitting back, Mr. Cecily spread the parchment.

Knock down your torso and start writing something down.

Looks like they're modifying the schedule.

"Hmm... I thought it felt like finishing day one around the ninth tier at the earliest, because you've come to the eleventh tier. Considering the time you've been in, it's an amazing tactical speed."

"What do we do now?

Mr. Currier asks, leaning against the wall.

Mr. Cecily raised his face.

"What shall we do?

"Did the difficulty increase from the hierarchy around here?

"Hmm, honestly, it's hard to tell the difficulty with this offensive squad..."

"I hear there are restrictions on the hierarchy you can move on to in a day, so is it any harder today?

"Even so, it's only a rumor, too"

Mr. Cecily gets his upper body up and pens it.

"They say the difficulty does increase a lot when you cross the ten tiers. So there's a theory that a lot of people feel like they're being held back by the offense at that point."

I see.

"Increasing difficulty means increasing the strength of demons all at once, after all?

This is a room that has just entered the eleventh level.

I have yet to see the difference between the eleventh and previous hierarchies.

I think we can get over it to some extent if the strength of the demon just changes.

But when the structural difficulty also increases, the story changes slightly.

Traps, for example, or a maze of illusion granting?

"Until the twenty-sixth tier, there is no information that a trap-like trap existed. But after the twenty-sixth hierarchy, there will be a record of the trap in the information the brothers left behind. Your brothers returned without fighting a thirty tier guardian species because one of their companions was fractured in a trap."

The fracture cannot be completely healed even by a healing procedure.

I should be careful, it might not be a healing system like that.

"I mean -"

Mr Currier said.

"Is it reachable up to the twenty-sixth tier just by kicking the demon?"

I can't accept that statement lightly, but Mr. Cecily smiles.

"Well, yes... Normally, the strength of demons that come out by that twenty-six hierarchy is like a troublesome seed for a candidate..."

"Noise It's many times easier for me to fight Holy Ruins demons than to deal with Hibigami... but so far. So, what's the fatigue like between you two?

Me and Cecily answer Mr. Currier's question.

"I'm still okay."

I'm still fine, too.

"Hmm. Then why don't you go somewhere you can"

Mr. Currier checks his pocket watch.

"So, I'm staying in a room in the hierarchy I was arriving at when the sun changed... how about this flow?

"That's fine with me. How's Mr. Cecily?

Mr. Cecily begins to circle the parchment as he twirls.

"Yeah, that's fine with me, too. Totally… it's just a long way from my contemplative Holy Site attack."

He was a bitter Mr. Cecily, but he also looked happy somewhere.

We took about two hours to get to the fourteenth tier.

And finally, the first giant to be said to be the enemy of that hierarchy - encountering Cyclops.

Thirteen and fourteen floors have high ceilings.

Even when the cyclops were upright, there was enough gap between them and the ceiling.

Structure as if beneficial for the offensive squad side.

But for the giant cyclops it is a terrain that can move around without stress.

Cyclops also move at reflexes and speeds that are never dull on top of the absence of obstacle-like obstacles.

I hear that many of the offensive squads of the past forced this demon to struggle.

But...

"- Second world, liberation"

A spear spanning 100 from a dimensional rift flew into the Cyclops restrained in black chains and pierced them.

Roaring cyclops.

The giant begins to dissolve.

After a while, the first giant disappeared completely.

What was left was a crystal about the size of a carrot.

I retrieved the walk-in crystal.

"Phew."

Take one breath.

"I've been able to defeat this for sure in the past... so I feel I've taken certainty this time,"

Currier, who was holding back alongside Cecily behind him, hun, snorted.

"That's just the power, something like that."

Once upon a time Cyclops appeared on the ground, he also stood by the Ninth Curse.

Some parts of my body moved conditionally reflexively because of the feeling I had at that time.

According to the Curse King, the Ninth Curse is a curse with little load.

It is huge that it is easy to use thanks to it.

If you use a curse, is it also advantageous that you don't have to remove one of your backpacks to make it easier to move?

"Nevertheless -"

See where Cyclops was.

"There's something about losing melt that you don't know subtly whether it's good or bad,"

There are no demonic bodies left in the sacred ruins.

So I can't feed the meat with the feeling of wildlife.

So there is no such thing as cooking with the demonic meat of the Holy Ruins.

Because of the nature of this demon, food needs to be well procured before diving.

For once, I heard that there is no food that can be procured locally.

They have roots in the ruins, roots of trees and occasional edible cereals to be found.

Nor can fur or horns be used as materials for the processed product when the demon dissolves.

The only crystal left behind is a loot-like loot.

The advantage of dissolution is that the rotten corpse does not remain there.

"Not much progress has been made in studying demons because even when they get out on the ground, they begin to dissolve. I hear there used to be some offensive squads that captured and studied in the ruins..."

"Speaking of which... I haven't run into a Fae yet this time"

Fae.

Different kinds of demons as the name suggests.

They appear less frequently than other demons.

You also have a good chance of winning Crystals for high combat ability.

Demons of the Holy Ruins have basic, white skin and body hair.

Blood is blue, eyes are red.

The mystery surrounds why the Fae occur - though it is assumed.

I know who the Fae are from the Curse King.

The whitening demon is a demon weakened by the protection of the holy god Renault Thread that this country believes in.

The Fae are only demonstrating their ability to be close to the "original power" because their protection has not extended enough to discolor.

In short, the Fae are closer to the Original.

I heard that the power of the Holy God has something to do with melting when demons come out of the earth or not being able to come and go down the stairs.

If the power of the Holy God had not been extended, the King's capital might have been regularly littered with demons from the holy ruins.

We went straight into the 15th floor.
