Crushing the 9th level foe, the Phantom, we went further upstairs.

"Manu, let's take turns holding baggage"

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

"Just give it to me. I've lost a little magic, but I still have the extra strength I put on my salary every morning."

Humph, and when he showed his less powerful kobu, Manuferno smiled.

"Thank you. Thank you"

"Mm...?

Receive a backpack with food and water from Manuferno and bear it. On top of being a bit heavy, the cloak of sage is in the way and hard to carry. Well, now.

Looking out through a small window next to the stairs, the sky after 3 a.m. is still dark but seems to be gradually changing from east to dark blue.

The wind was...

I can't hear the earth trembling due to the walking of Demon King's Castle, nor the shocking sound that rocks the atmosphere, let alone the sound of treading down trees and stones.

Infectious attacks by my magic inhibitory system formula (...) and reverse osmosis (virus) autonomous drive formula (apict) are beginning to produce unexpected secondary effects.

There seems to be no doubt that an anomaly has occurred in the magic transmission network of Demon King's Castle and that the magic transmission to the legs of Demon King's Castle has stalled.

"Hey Greg, is the princess okay?

Lentomia says potpourri while walking.

"I can't say that....... but when I looked under the nine floorboards, the stretched 'Magic Transmission Network' flow was going from the basement to the top. Just as trees suck up water."

"Does this castle's power source mean it's underground?

"Maybe. What's more, there's no sign of Princess Snoovel's magical fluctuations mixed in either. So it doesn't seem to be absorbed..."

Even if Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel had been imprisoned with the castle's 'maw system', she would not be supplying the castle with her magic.

I'm not sure, but a different role… I wonder if they would have given me a role like 'startup factor'.

Apart from how far it is at his will or by the hands of whomever (...) he intends to use.

"I see. I just thought with Grey's extreme reverse osmosis (virus) autonomous drive formula (apict), I hope the princess doesn't have to suffer."

Lentomia laughs couscous and climbs the stairs with a light foothold.

"Well, if it affects the princess, the magic will be inhibited for a while. That's not why it's painful."

"Hmm?

Eventually climbing the stairs, we reached the tenth floor.

It was divided into several rooms, formerly known as the 'SS of the Demon King', a place like the 'stuffing' of man-shaped demons and subhuman beings in armor.

But now it was turned into a graveyard scattered with decaying armor and dry, whitened bones.

Apparently, though the resurrected Demon King Castle, it really can't play dead living (...) demons (...) etc.

"I hope we can make it through here."

"I hope so... You have low expectations."

Exploring the Enemy Boundary (Circle), we found a dozen red light points slowly approaching from beyond the dim darkness. Gasha...... Gasha! Tension rises over the sound of armor that

"Lord Grey, something has come!

"Apparently, the bodies that were in the armor became mummified and upgraded to the SS version of Moving Armor/Demon King with magical and chilling effects... and so on"

"Wogo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o...!

A subhuman mummy warrior appeared in a disastrous pitch-black armor. The armor is highly defensive and does not accept concurrent magic. From the shoulders and helmets, the beard sticks out to the point of being too decorative.

He has a large sword, a mace, and a planetary weapon (Morningstar) in his hand, and even some of them seem to possess magical weapons.

"I deactivate the magic weapon that the opponent has. Lentomia needs fire support!

"Yes, me first!

It's getting better. It's a powerful flame magic pre-emptive attack on Lentomia.

"Lu! 'Resonance Crushing Ceremony (Reginancia)' for Metal!

"Thank you!

Lu slashes with a love knife with my "resonant crushing ceremony (Reginancia)".

When you jump into the opponent's nose from a low position, you slice through a single-edged knife with one leg on it and cut it. Use your handsome feet even more to stir up a group of enemies.

Faria and Ergonote folded all at once where they dispersed their attention.

"Ooh! Don't interrupt...... ugh!

"Until you push through!

As if Ergonote and Faria gradually regained their old sense of collaboration, alternately wielding swords and axes, steadily crushing their enemies.

The two exchanged swords with moving armor while keeping their health warm, slamming them down, crushing them, smashing them to pieces.

"... All right, you've cleared the ten layers of coarseness"

"I wonder if it's like this."

"We may be resurrected, but now we must hurry further."

Forty minutes had already passed since I boarded the Demon King's Castle with an iron pile cannon if I noticed.

He defeated a herd of Guardian Dragons, defeated an ancient wizard's disciple, the Wizard Demon, and also dominated this floor.

I'd like to rush ahead, but I'm also tired. I decided to just take a five-minute break from toilets, hydration, etc.

"It's just the right magic charge break for the Barrels."

Going up to the eleventh floor, it was an aerial temple there.

It's about 20 Merte Squares of threaded black stone, lined with a bunch of columns with an extreme bad taste.

"Well, that's a pretty good spot to see!

The fairy rises fluffy.

"Don't let Metti go too far."

"Yes."

This was once the place where Dark Elf Hemperoza, a demonic cleric (...), was offering prayers to the evil dragon god (...) who destroyed the Old World with the mourning of people's fear and despair as his offering.

And, except for the Demon King, it is also the place where the most powerful enemy (Hemperoza) was fought.

- Hemperoza......

In response, the face of a dark-haired apprentice, a cute octave, floats when she laughs "cheerfully at".

Is it still in my dreams by now? I want to get back to work soon.

"Ooh......! Finally."

"Break through here, twelve layers of purpose...!

Ergonote and Faria look around. But there's no sign of the enemy.

As the tenth layer was, biological enemies should not regenerate. If so......

From the floor without walls, the 'Desperate Mountains of Madness' can be seen nearby. At this time before dawn, temperatures drop much, and even though the wind is weak, it feels like you're at the top of the mountain.

"Isn't this a nice street?

And that's when Lu was about to say.

- High Magic Reaction!

An orange ray of magic struck Faria directly. Pan! and when the firepowder scattered, Faria's body tilted grally.

"Ugh!?

"Faria!

"Lord Faria!

"Scream. Faria!

Ergonote rushes over, but Faria squeezes her left shoulder and distorts her face in agony, poking her one knee. I'm still trying to get Manuferno to jump out.

"Come on, it's dangerous"

"Injured. Could have!

"... arms move. It's okay."

Stand up with the axe standing like a shield while Faria is on guard.

Fortunately, it didn't come down to importance because the effect of "The Wise Men's Boundary" and Manu's "Blessing (Fest)" protected Faria from direct strikes in a good way.

Again a ray of light was emitted toward the perimeter vigilant ergonote. Gin! and with the treasure sword. This is defense.

"Nooo...... despicable! Come out!

I can't see him, but I detect a faint reaction in the enemy junction (circle). In the shadow of the black pillar, there are two reactions.

- Right there!

"Sage Grecas! There it is."

"Oh, I don't mean to hit the last executive with a cover-up ceremony (stealth)... there's no product!

I unleashed a bunch of magic thread (MagiWire) in the enemy's lurking position and struck down the curse (Dispel).

Two enemies appeared hidden in the space, as if to shed paint in the shower.

"Oh, hey, hey...?

There's one guy there who's never even seen a blonde. He is an exotic wizard with a chameleon-like face, feathering a green cloak as if he were a clown. It seems this is the one who used stealth magic.

And the other one. A blue-haired woman wearing a robe of Metanostadt's finest wizard.

"Majerna!"

"Gre...... cus"

The colour of bitter tannins seeps into his eyes. Pretty exhausted, all wounded and worn out.

"Inspiring reunion but... we're busy"

"Who are you?

"Hmm? Nhoof. Right, let's just say you name it for once? Thousand Years of Glory Empire, Descendants of the Great Magic Kingdom...... ZOLTAXZAIAN is one, ZACHFRUGEL LEADBURN!

Kihihihi, and the skinny chameleon man had a creepy grin.

"... I don't know. Who?"

Lentomia steps out while increasing her magic power.

"Zortaxzaian, so...!

That was enough to convince us of the involvement of other countries, below the Duke of Automatéria Norard.
