The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

Here we are, deep down. My room.

I don't think it's been long since I've been back.

In the meantime, I'll put Elibel around there.

"Oh, hey, treat me a little more politely! What are you gonna do when you get a crack in it! Because I'm even more brittle now than the lowest class undead!

Uh, yes, yes. Ok.

Gently, place Elibel (bone) on the floor.

So, do you want to make a body?

In the meantime, mix the soil with bones other than Elibel's head. Connecticut and.

"... heh..."

Elibel is watching the work.

Well, from what I've just seen, my golem-making arm hasn't gone as dull as it gets.

In the meantime, make this dirt a big mess of people.

So, what kind of golem shall I make?

It's been a long time since I've made human shapes here lately because I've only been making animal shaped golem homunculus.

Hehe, I'll try the masterpiece in a while.

What do you want me to do?

The biggest masterpiece in the human form so far would still be the Thousand Hands Kannon Golem.

Loaded with gimmicks and lots of gear.

I haven't made a masterpiece in a long time that goes beyond array with pure golem.

Speaking of which, you were here yesterday to report that Ann was acting strange about Thousand Hands.

………… Do you want to go later?

Oh, yeah.

I'll tell Ann to get my skin and nails upstairs.

I finally peeled off the skin the other day and got a new material.

Because of this, let's use it.

That's what I thought, and when I tried to send Anne a thought call,

"Wait."

"To?"

Elibel called me.

Hmm, what's going on?

Oh, you were free while I was waiting?

Do you want some tea?

"That's fine."

'Huh?'

I've been doing this. Stop the hand.

That's all right, what do you want?

"That's what I said. I will make the earthly shape of that state my body."

.................. what?

Huh? That's it, that's it?

I'm not using any material, it's really just dirt, okay?

At best, I just mixed your bones and made you human?

"Huh? No, but because of this, I put my hands on a variety of colors, and I got something elaborate..."

"It's okay. Actually, there's something I'd like to try too. It's just a simple guy."

Uh, I was motivated because of you.

The one with wings like an angel, the very muscular statue of Asura, and all kinds of creativity.

"Are you sure you want feathers, tails, horns? What about your arm? You'd better have about eight arms, wouldn't you?

"... I'm glad I stopped. Yeah, I really don't mind that."

Well, if it's your wish, you can't help it. Too bad.

In the meantime, I was right about Elibel, and I put Elibel's skull on the head part of my body.

Then Elibel seemed to snap some chant and connect herself with the dirt.

Grrr. Grrr., and.

The body, which was just dirt until earlier, forms a splendid bone.

………… and, eh?

"Why Bones!?"

Without it, my soil quickly became a human bone like a human body model.

Wow, my image. Then I can't reproduce it so far in real life.

Heh - Is that how I should shape my ribs? Learn.

Boulder, sage.

Does that mean that its imagination is exactly spiritual kingship?

"... I feel like I've been ridiculed endlessly right now"

'It's my fault. So, why did you make it bone-shaped?

"Oh, why, well, I'm a bone now, aren't I? Then you should bone your body. It matched my head and boned my flesh with the“ alchemy ”of earthwork. Well, I guess I'd be right to say bone-shaped metal, to be exact."

Elibel poses as a model with a bone figure.

Hey, is that okay?

Aren't you usually supposed to meat it and make it look human or something?

But Elibel seems satisfied.

"Yeah. Bones aren't so bad inside either. It's well-ventilated, and you call it beautiful skin? You're so cool in white!

Oh, well.

This guy was a freak.

I forgot.

"I think you're making fun of me."

"It's my fault."

".................. Okay, that sounds okay with this"

Elibel turned this way after checking her body movements all the way through.

"Hey, do you still have my“ Evolution Demon Stone ”left?

'Hmm? There is. There's still a couple more left. "

Evolutionary demon stones aren't the ruins of Elibel, they're bringing them to this depth.

I left it in a box made of alchemy so the others wouldn't eat it on their own.

I take the Evolutionary Demon Stone out of the box and give it to Elibel.

"Mm, okay. And there's still a normal demon stone? I like him like you usually eat. I'd like quite a bit more if I could."

'I do. I mean, if you dig around here, you'll come out as much as you want.'

Excavate the Demon Stone from scratch.

Yes, I'm out.

I dig the area properly and give Elibel the Demon Stone.

I gave him about twenty.

"... digging a demon stone so easily... really, you're a monster. Especially if you're not aware of it..."

What is it?

If you dig the Demon Stone, you'll come out as much as you want, right?

It's all over the place.

"... ha, it's nothing"

Elibel observes as she rolls the demon stone I gave her in her hand.

"Seriously, that's a hell of a purity, you demon stone. I knew the generating cycle of demon stones in the Erdo mine, but I can't believe there was such a demon stone in the ground next door in the Erdo wilderness..."

'The way you put it, two hundred years ago, you didn't?

"Yeah, when I was alive, you had a little less than average magic concentration around here. And yet I can't believe it's changed so much in the last two hundred years...... the terrain? No, based on the concentration, maybe it's the stellar vein... but... the concentration conversion efficiency is higher in the Erdo mine... but then..."

Elibel snapping bumps and talking to herself.

Hey, come back.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I've been thinking a lot."

Oh, it's nothing.

Meanwhile, I was digging another demon stone.

For my dinner.

What are we gonna do with the Demon Stone and the Evolutionary Demon Stone?

"Hmm? It's settled, you eat it."

'Huh?'

That's what Elibel started eating the demon stone I gave her.

What, you were hungry?

That's what I thought, but Elibel kept eating the Demon Stone and finally mouthed the “Demon Stone of Evolution”.

Hey!?

"Hey! What are you doing, you!

I was surprised to see it.

Naturally. Evolution's Demon Stone has only a 10% chance of success.

Ten percent. If you fail, you die.

She knows that best herself.

Whatever, she made it.

And yet, why?

But the next moment, something even more amazing happened.

Elibel's body was engulfed in a blurry light.

'This is... Huh!

I know this phenomenon.

Evolution.

Same as when Anne or Plump.

It's the light of a successful evolution.

After a while, the light stopped and Elibel stood arm in arm.

"I knew you were right..."

Without a doubt, she was evolving.

The digits of magic I feel are different from the ones I felt earlier.

What the hell kind of race have you evolved into?

"Uh-huh, from this magic, maybe it was Arch Skeleton who evolved. You weren't Richie. Still, a general-designated species? Well, it's new, and if it's evolving from the lowest species, it's a reasonable place around here."

Elibel observes what has happened to her.

It's as if I knew this was going to happen.

"You knew you'd succeed?

"Sort of."

She says as if nothing had happened.

"In the first place, do you really understand the principle of the demonic stone of evolution? You saw my research, didn't you?

'... uh, demons evolve if you eat them, right? with a 10% success rate'

"That's talking about the demon stone effect! I'm asking you what principles evolve!

"Erm............"

Don't bother if you say so.

No, I understand. I understand that, don't I?

But if they tell me to explain that again, I don't know what to say...

I have knowledge, and I know what it means.

But if they tell me to explain it properly... Uh-huh, that's hard.

This is one of the reasons I wanted Elibel to be an advisor, right?

Elibel, who saw me troubled, sighed and spoke.

"Ha... Okay? Evolutionary demon stones are demon stones that“ forcibly reassemble ”the physical composition of a demon. Evolution is inherently something that lasts hundreds of generations. It is the demonic stone of evolution that forces it in a generation. So far, okay?

"Yes."

"And if you force evolution, cell and magic degeneration will require enormous energy. This is the reason for the high mortality rate. Simply put, there is not enough energy in the flesh to evolve, which leads to fuel shortages and death. Evolution's demon stone effect cannot be stopped once it begins. The energy of the flesh is empty, but you try to squeeze it out, and it self-collapses. I was doing some research to figure it out, but I couldn't find a way to do it in the end... until I saw your memory."

"Heh, my memory?

So, is that it?

of that time when Anne and Plump evolved.

Yeah, but how does that get us to where we are?

You're saying that wasn't a coincidence?

"By consuming large quantities of ultra-high purity demonic stones, you compensate for the energy you need from the outside. Honestly, I thought it was an airspace theory on the desk. I didn't think there was some idiot who could practice it."

Tons of demon stone intake?

Oh, speaking of which, you did eat a ton of demon stones before Ann ate a plump evolutionary demon stone, too.

"In addition, through the bypass of the family and the Lord, we will replace the shoulders of magic in the event of further shortages..." Is sleep or unusual appetite caused by that...... no, is there anything else? You're really funny. It's a way I would never be able to do it if I were normal. In the first place, there can be no such thing as such a high-purity demonic stone or a Lord with such a foolish amount of magic as you. At least not in my living days. Exactly, an exceptional way. Well, that's pretty meaningful for research data. "

'Oh, yes. Really?'

"... you weren't conscious."

Elibel has a face.

... To be honest, I didn't really know what you were talking about, but for now, Elibel has evolved.

Yeah. In the meantime, that's fine.

"Oh, you just gave up thinking, didn't you?

You're falling apart!

Sharp. Boulder, sage sharp.

"Abandoning to think is the stupidest thing to do. Thinking, worrying, regretting, this is a duty and happiness for those who think. No, you're not."

'Oh, he seems to be saying something decent. Boulder, Sage'

"Oh, come on. I can light it."

Oh, sage, hey.

"Ma, for now, it's something I've got and enough body, and then shall we talk about the future again?

Oh, finally there.

I mean, is that good for your body after all...

It's been a long time since I've had a fever.

Stone Statue Series.

Yeah, I'll make it later. Personally.

Well, that's my reward for working with you.

"Ooh, ooh. Suddenly, there. '

Elibel stands three fingers in front of me.

"Three rewards"

"Three? What, you can't be too mundane?

"That's not a big deal. First, let me dissect you for now."

That's a big deal!

I'm gonna die!

"I'm sorry, I can't"

"Can't you? I've never seen a living dragon individual before, and I thought I could get a lot of meaningful data."

Elibel speaks with her hands moving.

Oh, shit. This guy really sucks.

I'm totally willing to kill you.

'Um, the autopsy is just impossible, so can you at least put up with scales and skins and stuff?

"... what about the eyeballs, the guts? And brains."

"Give me a break"

That is, the dugout.

So he said he was going to die!

"Hmm, well, now that's okay"

What do you mean, now?

Hey, what's going on?

"Then the second. Creating a dedicated lab for me in this dungeon."

'When I say lab, is that the kind of room you were in?

"Yes, because I'll manage equipment and stuff with alchemy. For now, I'd like a room, or a whole hierarchy. Can you?"

Well, that won't be a problem.

I shake my head vertically.

"Okay, whoa. See you at the end. The third one."

"Oh."

"The third is, well, this is my personal reason. I need your help."

You want me to help you?

"Yes."

That's what I said. From Elibel's body, a black aura creeps out.

What the fuck?

... Is this anger?

"... two hundred years ago." That's all I have to put on. That's one of the reasons I tried to “immortalize" in the first place. "

It sounds like someone else who hit and changed.

"What does that mean - -"

It was the moment I tried to ask.

Communication entered.

The communication demon stone that I had placed beside me glows.

... Is this Una?

I'll take the communications demon stone.

"Father! It's Una! Can I have it now?

Una's voice was in a lot of panic.

'What's the matter with you? Una, in such a hurry?

"Father! It's an emergency! The army... '

'Huh?'

'The army... the armies of the humans are marching towards the Eld Wilderness where your father is!

……………………………… Yes?
