The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

20. VS Demon King Army Part One

In Area II Ford Desert, Unit I Captain Spunta had not yet set foot in the dungeon.

That should do the same.

Coming to his sight are countless ants who just fill the desert. That number will not drop tens of thousands.

Born from a superior species called Imperial Ant, they exert unparalleled power in mass warfare. Besides, unlike Killer Ant, the lowest species, the hell is an army of nightmares with intermediate-line power.

Their collaboration is amazing enough to have an anecdote that is said to have created a new formation in reference to the forces of Imperial Ant once. There is nothing more terrifying than a perfectly controlled number of violence.

But...

"Don't be cowardly!!

Nor has the opposing Demon King Army First Unit lost.

Spunta's sword cleaves the whole Killer Ant.

Then, as soon as possible, the movement of the surrounding ants slowed.

Pushing the ants away, Spunta advances.

"Look! Approximately an integral proportion of the ten bodies exists an ant that serves as a command tower. Identify the difference in behavior! Top priority, crush them! That would disturb the formation! Don't let the numbers fool you!

"" "OOOOOOOO!!!

The ants are not indiscriminately attacked by the Demon King's Army. Or that not all ants are moving based on the actions of queen ants.

In that attack, there is a controlled movement, there is a pattern, and there is a command tower that conveys it. With Queen Ants as their apex, they are perfectly collective in action by pinching the command tower between them.

(These are the numbers… there must also be ants that will further lead the command tower. We have a winning chance ahead of us to identify and follow that organizational chart!

Find it and crush it.

I think so, he runs the battlefield.

But his predictions were betrayed lightly.

- You're the captain, right?

Rin on the head, then a clear woman's voice.

"- Huh!?

At the same time, a great sword looming in front of you.

Quinn! And it sounds tall.

To a tremendous shock, he steps back.

"Nooo...?

Billy and arms numb. What a heavy and sharp sword strike.

If you look in front of you, there was clearly a different individual there than any other Killer Ant.

- Queen species. It also holds a sword in its hand and weaves a cape made of the skin of a dragon.

Same characteristics as those found in the report.

That is, this demon...

"I see... Is it the same thing to think about..."

Between those who also lead the flock.

The thought comes similarly.

Crushing your head is the basis of tactics.

"The Imperial Ant queen species Anne. I am Captain of the First Army of the Demon Kings“ Sword Holy Beast ”Spunta.

Therefore, Spunta raises his name.

It is at least a courtesy to the proud enemy who did not hide in the rear and went to the front without cowardice.

"- Come, come!!

The next moment, a tremendous amount of sand and dust danced through the universe.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Around that time, in Area IV...

The invading Demon King's Army Unit III was steadily moving downstairs.

The third unit is made up of man-shaped demons, captained by Houroto of Sacubus. Armed and hiding their horns and tails, they can barely tell them from human adventurers. Troops specializing in intelligence, conspiracy and assassination.

There was tension and perplexity running on their faces like that.

Why?

Because there was nothing.

No golems, no traps. There is no divide, even a monotonous main road.

Too well on the journey.

But how well it went was returning them to solicit their vigilance.

"Are you all right?," "Why is no one here?," "Where did the golem go?," etc., they say of anxiety in their mouths. Though I wouldn't put it out on my face, that's what Howlotto, the captain, agreed with me.

(... what the hell is going on? I can't believe we've gone down to the third level and there's no contact.)

I don't like it, but I suspect some kind of trap.

No matter what, we are proceeding with great care so that we can deal with it immediately, but it is too creepy that there is nothing like this.

Eventually, my vision became brighter.

"Is this... forest?

There was a forest spread out there.

Trees as far as I can see. Growing grasshoppers. I can hear little birds chirping, even river spirals.

There was such a stunning forest in front of me that I accidentally suspected this was a dungeon.

(Some dungeons have a special environment inside, but I've never seen you so precise...)

To its flourishing, Houroto accidentally leaks his breath of admiration.

How much labor and time did you spend? Is this completeness no longer entirely an area of hobby rather than a defensive device?

I'm sure the producer must have been extra cohesive.

Even in the details, I can't stop thinking about it.

"Wow... Sister, I was so impressed..."

Full of enemies.

Then there is one thing to do.

Nodding, Howlotto gives instructions to his men.

- Burn it down, he said.

It was a natural decision.

My men follow the instructions without getting lost.

And that attack was about to be unleashed - exactly then.

"Don't burn it!

"Pulu!

Somewhere, I heard voices like that.

If I turned my gaze, there was a little slime standing with a girl about elementary school.

"This is a playground for you and your friends! So don't burn it!

"Puh-puh!

The expression "pussy" was perfect.

"Oh, you've got some pretty cute kids out there."

Howlotto unexpectedly greets me with that loving look.

But in an instant, he erases his expression and commands his men in a cold tone.

"- Everybody, don't be confused by the way you look. Especially if you're slime, Azil told me you were the target."

The words change the complexion of the demons.

Transform the presence in front of you from a child and slime to a clear “enemy”.

Set up your weapon and unlock your magic.

Twitching, approaching both of you.

"Huh?

"Pulu?

Howlotto lifts his hand softly.

And a word.

"- Kill him!!

Shortly afterwards, an awesome explosion echoed through the forest area.

The trees are knocked down, and a crater can be made there.

But...

"Oh, you've avoided it well. No, should I say boulder......?

Pepper, Howlotto licks his lips glossy.

There was no one where they attacked.

Apparently, he got away.

"Always keep your magic sensing fully open. Whenever and wherever you get ambushes."

"" "Ha!!

My men nod simultaneously and quickly explore their surroundings.

Regardless, Houroto and I concentrated on all nerves and followed the whereabouts of the two of us.

(Good way to hide the signs...... no, this is enemy formation. Naturally...)

During the current attack, one with that one - especially the magic I felt from that slimmer.

I can't even feel it and be alert.

"... Gratney Hell Slime Individual Name Plump, That and Golem Homncrus Individual Name Torres. Both of them, Chan and what's up in the report. You don't look fooled. I'll do everything I can to get it done."

And in the shade of a tree a little further away, he was soaking up tresses and puffiness and sweat.

"Huh, I'm surprised, Ploo"

"Pulu......"

It was quite dangerous.

He managed to avoid it thanks to the instantaneous power he worked out in his daily chase with the pervert (Autel).

"Everyone seemed strong, but it was amazing magic, especially with that Banban guy."

"Pu Pu Pu Pu"

Reminds me of a part of that body, and Tres goes to war. That was menacing - no, it was chest-threatening.

What the hell are you gonna eat to grow up so much? I still don't even wear a bra.

I look puffy and worried about trembling tresses. Rabble.

"Pulu......"

"Oh, it's okay. 'Cause don't worry, Pull. Me, too, because there's a lot more to it than that!

"P!? Pulu, pulu!

No, if you don't, I'll shake your body.

"Plus, we're many times stronger than those guys! Looks like everyone's ready."

"Pulu!"

Apparently, he didn't even realize we had already set a trap.

"Okay, here we go, Plump. Everybody."

"Pulu!

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Meanwhile, in the Fifth Area...

Fabnir's family, led by Robn, were fighting Demon King's Army Unit IV.

Robin is in command.

The brilliant combination with the family, the dungeon trap and the golems instantly catch up with the Demon King's Army.

"Watch it, Mr. Elibel. I'm offering you this victory."

That's it.

There's nothing in particular I said about this, so Robin will do his best on his own after that.

Phew.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

In the Sixth Area...

Elja, along with the other Saint Dragons, was waiting at the midpoint of the dungeon.

"You won't come inside..."

It had been quite some time since I had been drilled into the ground area.

At the earliest, it wasn't strange to come around the fourth or fifth floor.

I now hear that in the fourth and fifth areas we are already engaged with family members.

But the signs of the enemy are far superior.

It stops all the way in one or two layers or so.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"Elja, would you like to see what's going on at the top with the video demon stone?

"Right. And don't call me familiar, will you?

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry..."

Porolo manipulates the video demon stone as he drops his shoulders.

The video shown showed the demons rolling through the first layer.

In it, a nervous ghost man with glasses is skipping instructions.

'Yes, okay, gentlemen! I don't know where and what kind of trap there is! Carefully, yes! Proceed with caution!

"Copy that! Captain! '

Apparently they intend to thoroughly examine the first layer.

Apparently, this unit, it's pretty cautious. I guess that looks right as a dungeon offense, but does it make sense to count to the number of pebbles that are still rolling?

Moreover,

"Captain Morda! There's a chest over here! What will you do? Can I open it?

'No! It could be a trap! It's leaving you alone!

"Captain, there's a staircase here that leads downstairs! Do you want to come down?

'No! It could be a trap! Let's start with all the mapping on this floor before we do it!

"Captain, there's a mysterious switch on this wall depicting" Never push ”!

'It's an absolute trap! It's a trap, no matter what you think! All right! You can never push it!

"Okay - Oh, my hand slipped." (KATCHING)

Gacon.

"Wow, it's a pit. Ahhhhhhhh!!

'That's why you said -!!

"Ghahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

――――

――

What is this?

Everyone watching the footage thought so.

"... it's going to be awhile..."

Elja and the others continued to wait as they were shown a badly done cont.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

And in the surveillance room...

Every neighborhood seems to be struggling with their demon army opponents.

I'll get ready, too, looking at what's going on in each area.

"Eighth area people don't seem to have a problem so far. Looks like everyone's doing their best."

If you look that way, the Skeleton Legion was doing the lion's swift work.

The enemy is Demon King's Army 7th Squad. Is that Armati's unit... You're tough.

But the Skeletons are engaged in a fierce battle that won't even pull a step against the elite opponents of the Demon King's Army by working with the Golems and using traps well together.

In particular, the movement of the five skeletons on the front line is good.

To the big skeleton of the shield, to the ranger-style skeleton that messes up the enemy, and to two warrior-shaped ones, backward support skeleton mage.

Only working with Skeleton Mage is a little too much, but that would be acceptable too.

It's like we've been partying all our lives. Plenty of collaboration.

"That's a pretty old ginseng skeleton. The material is good, and the experience is stronger than any other skeleton."

You noticed my gaze, Elibel supplemented me. Complete. Besides, the eighth area doesn't even have a lassette or a lizard in the back, and there won't be any problems.

Well, and. Shall we go then?

I left this place to Elibel, and I crept through the transfer gate and moved somewhere else.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

A certain room deep in the dungeon.

Moving there, the two people who were waiting for me looked up and looked at me.

"Ah, Father. I've been waiting for you!

That said, it was Tsumugi who jumped on my back a little bit.

Her appearance had changed slightly, either as a result of the evolution from "Off the Road" to "Dream Mist".

The color of the hair that used to be bright white is a mixture of white and black.

"Tsumugi, how are you? Is there any discomfort?

"Mm-hmm. It's okay. Natural enough to think it's been like this for a long time."

Well, good for you.

The Evolutionary Demon Stone that I used this time is a new model that Elibel has improved.

The load on the flesh has also been reduced, as has the mortality rate. More importantly, it is now available to anyone but individuals who once used the Evolutionary Demon Stone.

Well, for that matter, my magic consumption has increased by half.

Anyway, in this evolution of the two of them, I used most of the demonic stones that had accumulated.

"How's Gonzo?

"Bufovo!!!

Gonzo barks well.

Looks like there's nothing wrong with this one.

Gonzo had changed his appearance significantly more than Tsumugi.

The flesh is huge in a large truck-like fashion, and the horns are changing into herculean beetle-like shapes. You're no longer a dinosaur than a rhino. But I'm glad it evolved safely.

'Looks like we're both going to be okay. I'm sorry for being so quick, but can you join me in defending the dungeon?

"Of course. Even I want to be of service to everyone. We have to protect Fall!

"Bufo!"

Looks like we're both motivated.

Good. Tsumugi evolved to the Divine Disaster Class, as did Gonzo to the Disaster Class. With the addition of these two, the dungeon's defense will be even more daunting.

My only concern is that Azil himself hasn't shown any movement yet......

I hope I don't get the worst prediction.

Anyway, we need to do something about the Demon King's army that's invading us now.

After I saw them make the move, I went back to the surveillance room.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

And...

"Well, then it's time to go, Yamu"

"I'll make sure, but we're still heading to the dungeon, right?

"Yeah, I'll be ready before then."

"Well, there first, then."

"Oh. Let's start with the mountains stretching next to the Eldo Wilderness - head to the Eldo Mine"
