The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

22. VS Demon King Army Part III

In Area Four...

The Demon King's Army Unit III, led by Hauroto, and the demons of the Yugur Great Forest, led by the Four Forest Chiefs, were in a state of engagement.

On the number were the demons of the forest, and on the quality, the demon king's army prevailed.

All in all, fight, almost each other.

But...

"-" Charmed (Charm) ""

And it came to pass, when Haurot said so, that the demons of the woods that had come before them turned back on their heels and struck their companions.

"Gah!?" "Gah, gaaaaaa!?" "Goaaaaaaa!?

Suddenly they are attacked by allies, confused forest demons.

Howlotto - or the intrinsic technique of Sacubas, 'Charm'. As its name suggests, it is a magic trick that attracts and manipulates the target. This overshadowed the advantages of numbers.

Likewise, the other Sacubas use 'charm' and cage the demons one after the other.

"You guys need to be very supportive! Don't set us up, wait for us to destroy ourselves!

Only aim to fight each other, and your own army will thoroughly support the enchanted demons.

If the fascinated demons die, they will once again fascinate the other demons who fought until then.

Especially not the fierce ones who can prevent Howlot's 'charm', the captainship of the Demon King's Army.

Even if you can't attract it, if the movement is dull, that's fine. Only bump fascinated demons into golems and other things that don't work. No matter how you fall, you can do the least damage to your own army and do the most damage to your enemies.

The third unit led by Howlotto, the undercover mission, was also a force of unparalleled strength in these mass battles.

Nevertheless, Houroto thinks.

(I don't see that girl and Slime...... Where the hell are you hiding?

That's all I care about.

From earlier on, even if the magic sensing is fully open, it will not catch any traction.

No, to be precise, from all over, I feel the magic of that slime.

But the magic is too scattered to capture the exact positioning.

Where the hell are you?

Regardless of the girl, that slime is troublesome.

Gratney Hell Slime.

Of the currently confirmed slime species, the species is nearly the strongest.

It can absorb not only matter, but also magic, magic vegetables and everything, and in terms of "eating”, even ground dragons boast more performance, truly a carbide slime.

Besides, there is no such thing as a "demon nucleus” in this slime. No, to be precise, the whole body is a "demon nucleus”. Therefore, the only way to defeat it is with ultra-high-powered extermination magic, which leaves no flesh to dust.

A very troublesome slime that is hard to knock over strong.

That's the race called Gratney Hell Slime.

It's too scary to turn to the enemy.

(I miss you when you were on my side...)

Once upon a time, a slime of the same kind existed in the Demon King's Army as a captain.

He was a wonderful companion who was cute and still dependable.

But at the turn of the war, it became an act of letting ourselves escape, and was crusaded by the brave men and their companions. Though a completely different individual from that slime, it's her true meaning that she didn't want to deal with it if she could.

"Well, that's no reason to get out of hand..."

"What? What has been done, Captain?

Howlotto deludes himself by saying that his men look surprised, but it's nothing.

Anyway, now we have to focus on the fight in front of us.

"It's time for fewer demons to 'fascinate'. Then..."

I tried to attract my next enemy again, that was then.

"" Extremely Flaming Song Burial ”-!!

Many polar columns of light poured down, along with a hanging voice from directly above.

"- Eh! All, defensive tactics unfolding!

Almost simultaneously with Howlot's voice, his men develop a defensive surgical formula.

Make a noise called Godjuwu, and the pillar of light burns the defensive technique.

What power would it be to bake even the world?

Looking up, there was an earlier girl - Tres.

In its hands is the degraded version of the Holy Sword Levertine.

I see, did you use the extension of the power of the Holy Sword to perform the ceremonial bottom-up?

Plus, behind the girl is a spider demon.

They used yarn to stick it to the ceiling.

"You did it..."

The unconscious attention to the ceiling was distracted by the enemies in front of us, by the unlikely environment in the dungeon called the forest, and by the light source of the falling light demon stone.

It's a great ambush that poked at their void.

But that's all.

Before the second shot was fired, Houroto moved.

"Demons! Be our shield!

Fascinated demons move to shelter them.

Come on, what do we do? Do you mind if we keep attacking? Or...

"Huh! No!

It turns out, Tres missed his magic.

The columns of light are distorted and extinguished.

At that moment, Houroto approaches at once with flying magic and packs his distance.

"Hehe, that's sweet. It was a good surprise attack, but it's ruined, right?

"Fluffy......!?

Houroto tries to pierce Torres with a dagger in his hand.

"Kissi!!

but Turan manipulates the yarn and forcefully diverts us from our position.

Houroto's dagger plundered Tres' cheek.

"Oh, too bad. And this too? -" Thousand Horse Fireballs. ""

All in return for earlier, countless flamebullets to be unleashed.

"Wow!?

"Kissie!!

I've had a breakdown in my posture, and Tres and the others can't avoid this, and I get hit.

The thread also burned, and one and one fell straight into the woods.

"You don't love him... but why is he the only one? Where the hell is Slime...?

Overlooking from the air, I don't see it like that.

Well, fine. Then I'll just tailor the girl first.

"Ugh... one more time!" Polar Flame Song Burial ”-!!

Trying to make a chase, Tres activates the surgical ceremony again.

But Howlotto flaunted it.

"There's no way an attack like that could hit you, is there?

Off-target, the pillar of light passes beside Houroto and hits the wall.

I ended up shooting for nothing.

Yeah, I thought.

But...

"- Shit!? hey... to...?

Incredibly, the polar flame song burial that hit the wall reflected intact and hit Howlot. Completely, to the unintended from outside consciousness, the defensive technique doesn't even make it, and he eats it by Moro.

(What do you mean? No way, magic reflexes on the wall...?

It just looks like a wall from what I've seen. What the hell kind of principle is that?

Not surprisingly, the flying technique is lifted and the foot is lowered to the ground once.

"You're done, Bunban."

Then, Torres, and Turan were a little further away.

"Over...? Wounds like this, I can fix them right away, right? You're gonna get in trouble for licking your sister, aren't you?

"I'm not. 'Cause I've already bought enough time."

"What...?

At that moment - Guru, and.

I heard a strange noise from my feet.

……

Feel uncomfortable and look at your feet.

There, there was just the ground.

And for some reason... my own leg, it was sinking.

"- Eh!"

My fear runs all over Howlotto's body.

"Everybody, flying tactics unfolding! Get off the ground now!!!

Howlotto's decree, which also resembles a scream.

Those who immediately developed a flight technique, and those who were instantly upset by their voices.

The slightest patrol divided their light and darkness.

Shortly thereafter, the place that was on the ground changed in an instant, like mud.

Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzu, and.

It's not just the ground.

The walls and ceilings are melting out on one side.

"This is... no way... eh!

And her anxiety-meddling “voice” echoed from everywhere.

"" "" "PLUGH!!!" "P" "Ru! ♪ Pulu!" "" "" Pu "Pu!" Pulu!!

That's the voice of that slime.

From the walls and ceilings, the floors and the trees, and from all places, the voice was heard.

Howlotto immediately understood what that meant.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat immediately!!

The ground, the walls, the ceiling, everything that's around them, it's coming to take them in.

Those who have missed the escape will be taken in and digested with a noise of ju 'u.

The demons who have fought before also sink into the sea of slime.

"No way, all this forest...... that slime pseudo......!?

I don't believe it.

I don't want to believe it.

But the space in front of me gradually changed into one giant slime.

Little by little.

I heard the girl.

"One by one, one by one, I switched dungeons with my plump body."

Her body also sinks into the slime as she seeds.

I was feeling the magic of slime from everywhere, is that why!

Why didn't you think about it better? Now Howlotto cursed his shallowness for stupidity.

But you can't even think of that.

There's so much out of common sense to be able to simulate into such a huge dungeon itself!

"It's a counterattack... opponent..."

And the girl's whole body sinks into the slime.

in that state,

"-" Extremely Flaming Song Burial ”-"

Cut! And the perimeter glowed.

Columns of light pouring down from all directions.

It burns down the demon kings one after the other.

(Well, the slime absorbed this kid's maneuver earlier...!

Slime can't use magic.

But I guess this slime can spit out the absorbed magic as it is.

It also increases its own magic.

Such an idiot...... I didn't even have that ability, the same kind of slime that used to be in the Demon King's Army.

"- I'm pulling!

Houroto instructs immediate retreat.

Not good as this. We need to rebuild our position once and for all.

But...

"No, Captain! The passage is blocked by the slime...!

"What other passage?!?

"No! Everywhere is covered in slime!

Oh, my God.

Exactly. They say they're in their stomachs.

Then Howlotto thinks.

"... All of you, shoot the maximum magic at the point of instruction simultaneously!

"" "" "" Roger!!!

Concentrate all nerves and activate magic.

"-" Ashes Noe "!!"

A giant swirl of flames that occurs around Houroto.

Her largest wide-area extermination ceremony.

Holy Kings Class Fire Attribute Magic “Ashes Noe".

In addition, a variety of high-powered sorceries strike the puffy overhead simultaneously.

"Pruhhhh!!

Clash.

Puffy absorption begins.

"Pwwwwwwww!!?

But swallowing all of it didn't seem to make the boulder plump.

The magic unleashed by Howlotto pierces the puffy flesh and puts a hole in the ceiling.

"Now! Escape!"

"" "" Ha!

From the empty hole ahead, the demon king's army retreats.

But I didn't go to everyone to say it.

Immediately the holes were plugged, and those who had missed the escape were swallowed plump after plump, and digested.

And in anticipation of the demon king's army being completely gone, he unbuckled the puffiness and flesh.

In the process, he spits out Tres and forest demons all the time.

"Phew......, Ploo, good luck"

"Pulu."

Pulp back to his original size, jump right and nod his body to the chest (none) of the tresses.

Lovely trick.

"Haha, it tickles me, Ploo. Good luck to everyone else."

It also seemed to solve the brainwashing of those caught in "Charm".

Though forest demons were sacrificed to some extent, they were first successful in defense.

"But you got away..."

"Pfft..."

"Everybody's graves are to be made later, first we fix the dungeons. Let's go to your father."

"Pulu."

In order to report the results, Torres and Pulp crept through the transfer gate and headed deep.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

And a little further away than the middle fourth area, Houroto was checking his own military situation.

"Ha... ha... hi, what's the damage situation?

"We have lost more than 90% of our compatriots... Dear Houroto, now..."

"I know... let's go home"

More than I thought, the situation in my own army sucked.

In this state, it is impossible to invade the dungeon.

Once we get back, we just have to get our attitude in order.

That's what I thought, I tried to move, that's when.

"- Ha... Absolutely, why should I handle leftovers, etc. Well, it's Master Earth's instructions, and I can't help it..."

I heard voices.

It's a woman's voice.

When Howlot turned around, there was an unlikely presence there.

blue skin, and horns like cows twisted from their heads.

And by the time it was violent, sharp eyes were catching Howlotto upright.

Seeing that, Howlotto trembles.

"K...... kushasra? Hey, why is“ Scared Bull ”in here...... Huh!?

As squeezed out, Howlotto speaks of doubt.

“Scary cow” Kushasra. He is the dungeon guardian of the star vein and a family member of Gibble.

It's one of the obstacles to the ultimate goal they aspire to.

That's why we're here?

Chuckles, Kushasra chuckles, opens his mouth.

"... that's what I want to know"

Zung!! That sounds awesome loud.

That's the sound of Kushasra stepping through the ground.

Digital magic emitted at the same time.

Not only Haurot, but all who were on the spot trembled.

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

"Let's get started. At least let me hit about eight, okay?

Along with the arrogant declaration of war, Kushasra releases his power.

And - the Demon King's Army Unit III was wiped out.

Fourth area - settled.

Demon King's Army Howlotto and Troop III are all destroyed.

Dungeon Damage Status
