"... this"

The protrusion of the second tier of "Elusion".

Above that wall, there is a tiny switch.

"You don't normally notice. This."

"Sumiko in the upper left corner of the poke, wearing dust. There's no sign of someone touching you."

"Iris and Odette stay away. I'll look into it."

This is the site of 'Ancient Sorcery Civilization'.

I don't know what the trick is.

"I'll take a look around"

I activate 'Flight' skills.

Kick the ground, flutter, and float.

The switch Dick and the others found - or this is a round projection.

Iris is right, there are no signs of people touching him.

The place is in the corner of the wall near the ceiling, and there's cockroaches all around.

The lights won't even reach you, so you won't realize you're not such a careful person.

"But you said the second basement was explored."

"I don't think you can just go around every corner."

"There's a place around here where demons come out. If you're cornered at this end, you can't escape either. So I guess not many people came."

"Is that what this is about?"

I touched the switch with my finger on "Magic Blood".

Just in case. Let's "Erosion (Hacking)."

"─ Sorcery Structure Analysis: Complete… is that a concealed door switch?"

With magic, it works when you press full force.

Not so different from what I used for the old castle stash room.

"Dick and the bat corps, guard the perimeter. If there's a demon across the door, protect Iris and Odette."

"" "It's Ourselves -" "

Fourteen bat regiments become walls in front of Iris and Odette.

I magically pressed the switch.

A gibberish, and a heavy noise, opened the wall.

"It's amazing. My Road!"

"Hidden doors… there's even a passage. Aren't we the first ones to find this place?

"I don't know."

It's been here nearly 200 years and it's hard to imagine anyone noticing.

Was someone noticing and hiding it?

Or didn't you leave any information because you can't use it......

"You know why it's hard to find. The dungeons have high ceilings, and the magic lights haven't arrived up there. I don't even know what a small switch is near the ceiling."

"Mr. Bat sees things with sounds that people can't hear..."

"That's too convenient..."

"What's going on inside... Dick's, please"

"" 'Ouch!

Half the bat corps jumps across the hidden door.

─ ─ I came back as soon as I thought.

"Behind this, it's a short passage."

"There's a door on the poke."

"There's no one in the aisle."

"Looks fine. Let's go."

"Yes, sir"

"Yes, sir."

If no one's ever been in the aisle, there might be something left.

I left only one bat (when the concealed door closed, so that I could press the switch) and went inside the aisle.

As expected, the concealed door closed automatically when we entered.

But there was also a switch on the inside.

Make sure the door opens that way, too, and all bat corps rendezvous.

I checked my readiness to move on, and Iris fumbled and opened his mouth.

"I have a favor to ask. My Road."

"What's up, Iris?"

"Can you tell me how to use enhanced 'physical enhancement'?

"Enhanced? You mean twice as much as' physical enhancement '?

"That's it. I want to be able to fight alongside Mylord."

Iris had serious eyes and was looking at me.

"I'm also a magician. I'm not just protected by My Lord, I want to be more useful. So tell me how to use the enhanced 'ancient magic'"

"Fine, but I'm still a beginner about Ancient Magic."

"But My Lord was in his previous life, and he was teaching Alice normal sorcery,"

"Usually magic is my specialty."

"But he didn't just tell me 'Unlock'"

"If I told you, Alice would come into my room on her own."

"Uh."

"... Kohon"

There was a noise of blackmail.

Odette was looking at me and Iris with a jit eye for some reason.

"Save the story of my previous life… I want you to teach me ancient magic, too."

"And Odette?

"Strong magic is needed to compete with C and above mages to explore Elusion."

"Okay. I'll figure out how to do it."

I don't think I can...

Maybe Iris and Odette could do something similar to me.

"Ancient Magic" is activated by chanting and drawing a crest in the air with your fingers.

But in my case, magic is activated by simply drawing a crest with "Magic Blood".

That's because I have the skill of ancient magic aptitude.

Originally, "Ancient Sorcery" is activated by concentrating magic with chanting and drawing crests in the air with that magic. So, in my case, because of the enormous amount of magic in "Magic Blood," they activate it just by drawing a crest with it.

When Iris was reincarnated, he was under the influence of my magic powers and was in a 'quasi magic blood' state.

Odette is Odette, and he's taking a lot of my blood to direct the Dicks the other day. They both have a fit for 'Magic Blood'.

In that state, in order to use the enhanced 'physical enhancement'...

"Let's start with the same way Dick and the others did."

"Same way, is it?

"On Iris' body, I draw the crest of 'physical strengthening' in 'Magic Blood'. At the same time, Iris uses the" ancient magic "of" physical strengthening "himself. That should double the expression of" physical enhancement. "

"... I see!

"But we start with a weakened 'physical strengthening'. And it would be nice to draw a crest close to the center of your body. so that we can enhance it in a balanced way."

"Where would you like it?

"Around the chest...... no, maybe under the clavicle"

"Okay. Please."

Iris loosened the ribbon on his clothes.

Then unbutton the collar to reveal the area between the neck and clavicle.

"Iris is family, so my magic should be familiar. However, don't raise the output too much. Half of the usual 'physical enhancement' - about 0.5 would be just fine."

"Okay."

"I'll draw it between my clavicles so my clothes won't touch me."

"... hey, hey... that's ticklish"

"It's like we're interfering with each other's magic. You'll get used to it soon."

"Ah... really. It's getting warm."

"Iris' blood is' quasimagic blood '. All right, that's it."

"Thank you. My Lord...... is that it? Odette, what's wrong?

When I realized it, Odette looked like she saw something smiling.

"No, because you two looked like good parents and kids."

"Yes, my lord and I are friends"

"Is that okay? Iris. I said," Like a parent or a child. "

".................. Ha!!

Hey, why are you looking at me and looking at me? Iris.

"Let's start over! My Road!"

"Why?"

"One, one, it was Alice in a previous life. Next time, properly, I'll be shy as Eighth Princess Iris. So paint the crest again."

"Fine, use your own physical enhancement."

"...... ha"

Iris closes his eyes and begins chanting. Draw a 'body strengthening' crest in the air with your fingertips.

"Activated." Body Enhancement "1.5!

Declared, Iris kicked the ground.

A thin body jumps up close to the ceiling.

"─ Huh."

"It's amazing. Iris!"

"This is My Lord's 'Ancient Sorcery' …"

I poke my hand at the ceiling, and Iris comes down.

It doesn't go as far as double, but it's far stronger than the usual 'physical enhancement'.

I'm relieved too.

Iris... No, Alice doesn't know what she's gonna do when she looks away.

I want to strengthen it as much as possible so I don't get hurt.

"What about Odette?

"... please"

Odette, like Iris, unbuckled the ribbon of his clothes.

Then, turn your back on Iris, and then spread the collar of your clothes.

"In my case... you're going to be just like Mr. Dick and the others."

"Right. So I think Odette should make it a little weaker 'physical enhancement'"

"If so, could you make it the crest of the Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)?

"I don't mind, okay?

"I don't like flame-based 'ancient magic'. So with the aid of Yuki, I want to add a flaming element to my magic."

"Okay... hey, this is it"

…………

"Yuki."

"What the fuck?"

"I... am not your daughter, am I?

"I know."

"... if you know what I mean"

Odette looked at me on the side, and then, I got my clothes done.

"Dick. Any tricks on this aisle?

"No -" "Not after people go through -" "There's just a tiny door -"

"So you're saying there's something ahead"

Otherwise, I wouldn't bother building a hidden door or anything.

"While Iris and Odette's 'Additional Seal' is working, why don't you go?"

"Well, that's right." "Okay..."

I made sure they both nodded and I touched the door at the end of the aisle.

Make sure there are no magical traps and push open.

I made a rusty noise and the door opened...

Beyond it was a golem made of stone.

"Vi? Viioooooooooo!!

Golem looked at us and shook up his arms.

It's the type that reacts to intruders.

The one with the golem is a large, circular room.

In the corner of the room...... my worn robe is rolling.

It has an emblem that looks familiar. That's...

"Emblem of the Sanctuary Church."

This means that this is the hidden passage once used by the 'Church of the Sanctuary'.
