The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

Well.

Right now, we're assembling in a hall deep inside.

The families were all gathered together.

Beginning with Ann, there are four chiefs of the woods: Pulp, Tress, Lassetes and Gonzo, and Farbnil's family. Farbnil himself is not here because he is being treated.

Heard Farbnil can't participate, Tsumugi is unfortunately drinking nut juice. Lovely way to make pokopoko bubbles with straw.

Well, you're all right.

"Guys, I'm sorry for the sudden gathering, but I'm in a hurry."

My relatives squeal at my words.

'Master Earth, what the hell is wrong with you? Or who is that...?

Ann turns a disturbing glance at Kushasra sitting next to me.

One hand on the Great Sword, already in a state of battle.

The rest of my family feels the same way.

No, my stomach hurts.

"Her name is Kushasra. It's the Gibble's family."

When I say that, my relatives flatter.

Elibel is the only one in the capital who has ever been in Kushasra.

Kushasra, by the way, doesn't move while leaning all the way down from earlier.

From time to time, he groans, "I can't go home..." and "This is what I am dispatching..."

She came because she felt like she was using it, but all of a sudden she was upset that this was happening.

Well, is it better than talking to Heta and rubbing with the Anns?

Let's keep it like this for a while.

Ellibel will explain the details.

Yes, so, Mr. Elibel, please explain.

The Round Throw.

………

You should talk to Choi yourself, right? 'My gaze hurts.

No, I can't. My stomach hurts even when I greet you in these places.

Look, please.

"... Shit"

Is that it? You just tongued me, didn't you?

"Yes, sir. Well, you've been nominated, so I'll explain."

Good Lord, with a sense of roundness, Elibel manipulates the terminal and explains the video demon stone that Kushasla brought.

The video demon stone was not disposable only once, so Elibel puts in supplements everywhere while streaming Gibble's footage again.

"- It feels like. It's very annoying to us."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"You know, Autel?

"Yeah, the days when we were still alive were only about a hundred years after the Demon King was sealed."

With that said, was it more than four hundred years before Robben and the others lived?

The seal on Azil was five hundred years ago, so I guess the name was still roaring.

Roben nods nostalgically in arms too.

"I miss you. There were still demonic remnants back then, and speaking of which, I met Emilia, the female knight..."

"So, the next thing you know, Una and the others."

"Is my story through, Mr. Elibel!?

"Elibel, go on."

"Yes."

No, 'cause I don't want to hear old stories about Leah charging, and wow - I don't care.

For that reason, the next step is regarding Harsha's request brought by Una and Dos.

After that, Una and the others contacted me and told me that it was the Holy City.

Harsha's request, about helping the demon king Azil crusade.

... It's too good a time.

Too much is done to say coincidence.

You should think of it as a guru from the start.

As Elibel finishes her explanation, her intentions gradually increase.

At the end of the explanation, Anne raised her hand first.

'I have a lot to say, but first of all, assuming what Gibble, Harsha is saying is true, why is the Imperial Beast - the Demon King Azil, going for this dungeon? They're after the Holy Land, right? Why do we need to attack our dungeons?

I think it's the most serious question.

That's what I thought at first.

"About that...... Elja"

"Yes."

Elibel tells me, Elja stands up.

"Probably... I think it's because of your father's abilities"

"Ability, is it?

"Hih..."

Ann looks at Elja.

Reflectively frightening Elja.

"Uh, Elja, it's nothing. Ann's not mad, so go on."

"Yes, sir"

'...... eh. You won't have to be so scared......'

Anne is a little snaggy.

Whoa, I cough really gently, Elja re-divides.

"As you all know, Saint Dragon has the ability to have an intrinsic technique called 'purification'. But your father, apart from that, has another unique formula just for you."

'One more thing...?

"Yes, sir."

Elja moves with two fingers.

"-" Sanctuary Junction ". That's the name of another unique technique your father has. As its name suggests, it's the ability to create boundaries, but it can create powerful boundaries that are so powerful that even the divine disaster class cannot break them."

What's that, awesome?

However, Elja continues.

"No matter, it's not omnipotent. It's a terrible drain on your health and magic, and once activated, you won't be able to move. And once activated, it cannot be disarmed until the magic is exhausted."

"How long is it?

"I think maybe six months."

It's too long.

Well, if you're an awakened dragon king species, can you do that?

"If that 'sanctuary junction' is activated, at least for six months, Azil cannot attack the sanctuary... But how does that connect to our dungeons?

Some people nod as if they would follow Robin's question.

"Nor is your father's kingdom omnipresent.“ Way out ”exists. It's an instantaneous movement through a metastatic procedure. However, only if there are the transfer coordinates originally fixed within the junction."

Originally, for the metastasis gates immobilized within the junction, they become bare.

A surprisingly big weakness, but if I crush everything before activation, is there a problem?

"Metastatic Gate... Ah"

So, Ann raises her voice as if she noticed something.

'Wait a minute, please. Deep down, there was a gateway to the sanctuary, wasn't there? - No way.'

Yes, Azil aspires to the Holy Land.

But Harsha's connections stand in the way to the Holy Land.

The only way is to move using a metastatic formula with fixed coordinates.

Currently, fixed transfer gates are installed in the sanctuary.

Yes - there's a transfer gate to get through with our dungeons.

So far, you'll understand.

There's a reason the Demon King's army is attacking this dungeon.

If Harsha activates the Sanctuary Boundary, they intend to attack the Sanctuary in the footsteps of the transfer gates set up in our dungeons.

"But then I wonder. Where the hell did you get that information? There's a connection between the sanctuary and this dungeon, and only a few of us in the dungeon and the sanctuary know it."

Hard to believe it leaked at least from within the dungeon.

If so,

"No way, there's a traitor in the Holy Dragon...!

"It's too early to think that, Elja. Excellent magic sensors - well, if you were a joker class, it wouldn't be weird if you noticed the magical connection between the Holy Land and this dungeon. And Lias was looking for a mighty dungeon, and he was bright about the metastatic formula."

“Dream Mist” Joker, huh?

With that said, he used the fog junction, too.

"Right..."

Elja lowers her chest.

Even for a moment, you're ashamed to have doubted your family, you look sorry.

"... well, that's not a zero possibility either (Bosoli)"

"Eh."

"It's nothing. Let's get back to it."

Knock on your hands, Elibel makes you resume the conversation.

'But then if you close the metastasis gate, wouldn't that be good? That'll give them no reason to go after this place, right?

"That's right..."

Me and Elibel scratch long silver hair.

"A transfer gate connected to the sanctuary. That, with speciality. It'll take a while to disarm."

'How long is it?

"……… six months"

It is almost identical to the period of maintenance of the Harsha junction.

It was here that I made it sturdy so that it would not be destroyed on its own (with Harsha's eclampsia or something) from the other side.

"But then I can't understand the matter yet. Then why don't we wait six months and then just attack? In six months, the junction will be lifted, and Harsha will be able to be nullified, right? So what's the reason to hurry? What the hell is in the Holy Land?

………………

Everyone on the spot silences the question.

I wouldn't struggle if I could figure that out.

But...

"…………………… there is a“ gate ”in the Holy Land"

Pompous, Kushasra, who had been silent until then, opened his mouth.

Everyone's gaze gathers on her.

"... Kushasra?

Face up.

That gaze looks straight at me.

He looked like he was determined to do something.

"Answer me, Master Earth. Over there is the entrance to the dungeon of the star vein where we live. That's why they call it a sanctuary."

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"I see. That's why Azil's going for the sanctuary, the gates there."

"My Lord Left."

Guestrooms passed after a glance.

So Leonaroid was gracefully drinking tea.

I thought I'd be thrown in a holding cell, but it's a pretty good deal.

However, a bracelet is fitted that seals magic properly and reduces physical ability.

Isn't it terrible to do this to a woman you want?

"But you guys don't punish me either... That's how I failed five hundred years ago..."

Sitting in front of her is a muscular man with a lion's head.

The appearance of the strong side is backwards, dressed in black swallowtail clothes, while not being like a butler.

Name is Zahark.

He is the Supreme Commander in the Demon King's Army.

"Things were different then."

Zahark denies Leonaroid's words.

"It is true that Lord Lias is dead and that our plans have been hampered. However, the battle against Tianlong Yamu and Dead Dragon Uronus has drained the power of the Kamikaze Dragon King to an unprecedented extent. Besides, the quality of her family is not far from that of the full season"

"Sort of. At the time that calf was doing the Seventh Hierarchy Guardian, I was guessing..."

Oh, this tea is delicious.

Let's get another drink.

"Now that her wounds are not healing, this is the last opportunity to maximize them. If we miss this opportunity, we have no next. In six months, Gibble's wound will heal. That's why we trembled with joy when we heard there was a gateway through that nasty junction..."

"Should you have planted the transfer gate in advance so Harsha wouldn't notice?

"I wouldn't have a hard time if I could do that. Because all the family members who were our Lord were trapped in the dungeon with Lady Azil. A month after the seal was unsealed, I scrutinized the information brought to me by Mr. Rias, and I did a lot of activity-"

Oh, whatever.

I want Eli back soon.

Oh, isn't this treat delicious, too?

"... are you seriously asking?

"I'm listening, I'm listening. That's it, I figured it would be better to drink tea as it is without honey or anything. He said he'd enjoy the flavour of the ingredients?

"What are you talking about!?

"Oh, did you possibly change your hair? Zahark, you're surprisingly fashionable, aren't you?

"So what are you talking about!? And this hair hasn't changed in five hundred years! As always, that's appropriate, you are."

"Because you've already met Azil. I've finished my errands, so I'd like to go home now."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to return it....... ask again. Aren't you willing to cooperate with us? Aren't you one of those people who once fought hand in hand with you? Again, with us..."

"Yah. I'm more important to Eli than Azil right now."

Before Zahark finishes saying it, Lenaloid cuts the suggestion and throws it away.

Now she has more important friends than the Demon King's Army.

"... that you're more important than us?

"Yeah."

Without hesitation, Leonaroid nods.

Seeing her like that, Zahark looked complicated.

"... well, after five hundred years, even I'm familiar and a scumbag princess, you know someone other than us."

"Guuuuuuu!"

Unexpected damage.

Word thorns pierce my chest.

What a terrible word.

"Well, fine. But you're gonna have to make a big deal out of it here until it's all over, right?

"Don't you have to kill me? It's better for later, isn't it?

That's what Leonaroid said, Zahark looked sincerely uncomfortable.

"Kill you? Even with a joke, please don't use that as a word. I don't want you to think of us in the same line as humans or that gibble."

"Hmmm......"

"What is it, those eyes?

"No, nothing. I just thought Azil and you were the same."

"Really?

"Yes, I am."

………

"I get it. I'll make a big deal out of it here. I will not intervene with you. [M] At best, you work hard."

"I don't care if you don't tell me."

That said, Zahark leaves the room.

――――

―――

Quiet indoors.

In a guest room where no one is present, Lenaloid is alone.

"It really doesn't change, Azil, Zahark...... Because of its sweetness, it shrugged my feet five hundred years ago..."

Looking up at the ceiling, Leonaroid sighs.

"... and do the Azils really know? How troublesome and powerful that dungeon is. Or do you have enough" trump cards ”to break through it...?

No one answers the question.

She reached out to tea and tea contractors again.

The tea I thought was delicious was completely cold.
