The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

8. The beginning of the feast

Valed was in a suburb a little further from the heart of the Empire.

It's on a hill a little open.

From the top of the high hill you can see the Emperor well.

"... was there anything, even a case in Imperial City?

When I look at it with my hands, I feel strangely inside the Empire.

Even from the hilltop so far away, so much so that you can feel the anomaly.

(... especially in Imperial Castle... this magic... Master? No, I think there's a lot of turbidity in magic for that. Well, it's about the master, and I think he's safe.)

Vared's magic sensing abilities are not very high.

When it comes to sensing, Beldee is in the top position.

Even so, what you can feel so far is that something like that was the Empire City.

Hilariously, Valed looks at her walking next door.

"Well, I don't know what happened, but it helps not to let our actions get in the way."

To say so is Lias Aurora, a woman with eyes reminiscent of a cat in secretarial style clothes walking with Valedo.

When I say why Vared is with her, it's because it's a request from Lias.

He wants me to escort myself all day today instead of thanking him for healing the wound.

If it's true, he wanted to rush right under Beldee and Farley, but if he couldn't disdain the benefactor of his life, Valed took on the request.

Sadly, she also gave me information about that witch knight and the Leonaroid.

"Well. By the way, you... you said it in a rear. What kind of magic are you using? Who hasn't spoken to us so far?

"... I use the magic of perception inhibition. You won't notice unless you're a very good magician."

Lias answers somewhere lonely.

In the middle of talking to Vared. Occasionally she does reactions like this.

Ha, and Valed wonders.

It's almost the first time I've seen this woman, but somehow she knows herself.

Did I ever meet this woman anywhere?

I can't remember. Like I remember.

"Hmm. But did this make sense for me to escort you? With such convenient magic, where can you go by yourself?

"It's not even that convenient of sorcery. And I'm a very helpless woman myself."

"Right. Well, let's do that. I owe you for getting the wound healed. I don't. I'll hang out with you for a day or so."

"Yeah, that helps. Maybe a scary undead or a dragon will attack you."

"Heh... that's the other way around. Looking forward to it... well worth the fight"

In the meantime, Valed deepens his grin.

A dragon.

I once fought a dragon in the Erdo wilderness.

I lost, but that was fun.

Valed wanted to try that dungeon again someday.

"Hmm...?

That's where I think Valed is.

Ha...? With that said, who gave you the information that there was a dragon in the Eldo Wilderness?

From Ecleus...?

No, before that, I had been informed by someone about the dragon.

That's... who?

I can't remember.

Vared asks questions as he shakes his head and shakes off his clutter.

"So why did you come all the way to such a remote place? Isn't it time you told me why?

That's what they say. Lias looks back.

"Yeah, that's good. Vared, you were once the owner of the Holy Sword Levertine."

"Huh? Oh, yeah?

Suddenly he shakes a story without a pulse, and Valed snaps his neck a little.

"So you also know about the function 'Dungeon Destruction' granted to the Holy Sword?

"Oh, of course. But... how do you know that?

All I know about the Dungeon Destruction Function of the Holy Sword is Vared and his master Lynn, and then Beldee and now the late Ecclesius.

Perhaps few people know about the 'Dungeon Destruction' function itself.

But Lias' answer was beyond Valed's imagination.

"It's up to me to know. Because I'm the one who modified the Holy Sword."

"- Huh?"

"It's not just the Holy Sword Levertine. As you may not know, there are other weapons that have been granted Dungeon Destruction. One of them is the Demon Sword Gram held by the Emperor of the Hazan Empire, and the Dragon Sword Ascaron held by Lugios, the Witch Knight, whose other wave struck you. There's more, but there must have been six of them."

"Become... eh...?

For a moment Vared is frightened.

But Lias continued not to care.

"Well, the theory itself is not me, it's something created by“ her ”who was once my disciple and lord.... I've had a hard time. Stir her up, let her assemble a theory, look for a weapon that fits, modify the artifact together...... oh, I was so full back then when I thought about it...... it was so much fun for her and me to swing by and do a sorcery quest"

Lias says as he misses somewhere.

So, uh, Lias looks at Valed as if he remembered.

"Oh, yeah. That was the reason you left the Empire. It's easy. I don't want you to die when I get caught up in an alley."

"What do you mean?

"It's easy."

chuckles and Lias laughs.

To that smile, a chill ran on Valed's back.

And the intuition was right.

She said something incredible.

"We're going to do 'Dungeon Destruction' against 'Farbnil' now. Inevitably, the imperial capital will also be involved in the form. That's why we evacuated all the way here."

"Become...!?

It must be a very simple reason, she said.

- There's what I call the Great Eight Labyrinths.

It's about the eight mighty dungeons that exist in this world.

More than a few hundred years after he showed up, eight dungeons have never been attacked.

So 'Dungeon Destruction' is valid for that dungeon?

In response to this question, Elibel replied:

- All eight dungeons are dungeons that cannot be used for dungeon destruction.

The first reason is that in the case of a dungeon of metastatic lineage, as in the case of a dungeon made by Elibel, the effect of its destruction is limited in part.

And the second is to destroy the dungeon so that the people will suffer some harm.

A prime example of this would be the golden labyrinth 'Farbnil' of the Hazan Empire.

It can be said that the empire was made up of enormous wealth produced over Farbnir.

Assuming that dungeon destruction is carried out against Farbnil, the empire that is built on it will inevitably become involved.

That would be an unprecedented catastrophe.

If using dungeon destruction for a dungeon like that is excessively stupid or madman stuff.

But to the contrary.

We have to take into account the damage that humans suffer.

If we do not take into account what will happen to the Hazan Empire by destroying it.

Farbnil means that dungeon destruction works.

Yes, Lias' target was not a dungeon of earth.

It was the fervnil that got stronger during the transition.

"I struggled...... Most of the time, the witch will soon be noticed. You mess with the information, you mislead your aim... but it's finally over too. Including her, most of the powerful who were the lords of this continent are concentrated in this imperial capital. Now everything is on schedule...... It's about to start, my petition..."

She set up for this time today, when leading players from all over the continent gather at the Continental Conference.

To sweep away all those who stand in the way.

To fulfill her grief with so much bottomless malice as to deviate from the ordinary course.

Rias smiles at Valedo.

It was a laugh colored by ecstasy.

"Come on, Mr. Vared. Let's see together, the moment the world changes."

hands wide, and Lias proclaimed exaltedly.

"The Banquet's Beginning."

And in the dungeon first layer of farbnil -.

Walking in the dungeon are two adventurers.

Lau and Swillen.

The two men, dressed in kimonos, the national costume of the kingdom of Xu, were silently advancing through the dungeon.

The two walking leisurely are not on any alert.

Anyway, this is still the first level.

Unless you're also an extra regular, it's easy to go back.

The occasional dungeon demons also repel without difficulty.

So much less. They get to where they want to be.

That was just about the middle of the first layer.

"This neighborhood is just right..."

That's what Lau says. He pulls his sword out of his nostalgia.

The blade crossing is about a meter.

If he holds it as huge as a bear, the sword will look so small that it will look like a sidebar.

It is a ritual sword with brilliant decorations.

The name of that sword is - the treasure sword Futunomitama.

One of the seven swings that gave the 'Dungeon Destruction' feature.

Watching Lau pull out his sword in a mess, Swiren stares at him kickingly.

"Oh, hey Lau, don't treat me like a mess. Aoba, what's yours?"

"Wow, well, let's get started -"

Lau swung heavily.

At the same time unleash its function embedded in the treasure sword.

A contraindication to the dungeon.

"Come on -" Shatter it. "Futsnomitama!

Lau waves down his sword at the mercy of his strength.

The face was delightfully distorted.

It's the beginning of the feast.

Destroy Farbnil.

An unprecedented catastrophe that winds up.

Overwhelming destruction swallowing everything.

Imagine the people of the dying Empire in that hell painting.

And swallow all of it, and the Dead Dragon Uronus will be resurrected.

The cutting-edge of the treasure sword Futsunomi Tama pierces the ground.

'Dungeon Destruction' built into the treasure sword is activated.

Awesome light filled the dungeon.

Awesome magic.

Awesome vibration.

Shortly afterwards, Farbnil had...

Overwhelming destruction.

- I didn't wake up.

A dungeon that settles in intense light and quiets back properly.

".................................... what?

Flashing lau.

"What?"

Swillen, who was watching what happened next door, also gives a look that was taken aback.

"Become, hey, what's going on!? How come 'Dungeon Destruction' isn't working!?

Lau screaming in doubt.

Wave the sword again.

"" Shatter "Futsunomi Tama!... Damn, what the fuck!? No way, Aoba's guy. I guess he was already using 'Dungeon Destruction'!?

Dungeon destruction may not be activated.

That means it may have already been used once.

Once you use the Dungeon Destruction feature, you'll need a century-old interval.

In the meantime, we're just going back to weapons.

It would be natural for Lau to doubt that possibility.

But on the other hand, the girl a little further away - Swillen was calmly identifying the situation.

"It's not that it's not activated... it doesn't look like it... what do you mean? It's like some kind of force inhibited dungeon destruction... no, it was“ offset "..."

The bumpy and unwrapped thoughts whine to themselves as they are.

And

"- Wow, wow. I really wish Mr. Elibel had done what he expected."

I heard a voice.

"Ah? Who?

"Lau......? What's the matter with you? Even the demon came out?

Lau sees those who speak.

By contrast, it seems that Swillen could not understand his actions.

"Hmm... the guy over there can hear me..."

Sounds like I was just a little interested.

Lough looked at the voice as he raised his guard.

There was a girl about ten years old.

She's a beautiful girl with bright white clothes, hair, skin and everything.

However, only the colour of the eyes exposed by the gold hairpin is the only one with a caramel colour.

That underscored her discoloration.

"What the... Temehe..."

Lau asks.

The voice had a common color of vigilance.

I came all the way out here at this time.

It's stranger not to be vigilant.

But the girl opened her mouth without warning.

"No, you can't, you can't try to break Fall's house."

That's what I said. The off-duty girl Tsumugi grinned.
