The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

The black fog was as black as if it had melted ink.

"Is darkness an inch away?"

Not even in reality.

"Not even at night."

Me and Mr. Bell broke into the Announcement region on foot.

"Oh, you can't see it from outside."

I flew the observation plane and checked from the sky, but I don't know after all.The person who entered will not come back, so there is no way to know what is going on inside.

Do I need a light?

"But you're going to have to take a different position."

Ms. Bell said with a Deathbringer on her shoulder.

"After all, it's natural to see that the beast here has done it."

"I can't tell you that the Beast just did it."

I tilt my neck.

"The Stigma Empire fleet has emerged.I mean, there are likely to be vampires here. "

No, it's really dark. When I see magic, I change my vision.The dark black world rises in a bluish, dark blue.

This is a little better.

"Because the fog contains magic."

Mr. Bell follows the terrain.I walk around with my magical eyes.

I see, it's a forest. The feeling of stepping on the grass conveyed by the shoes.Walk toward the center while dodging the trees.

"... I'm not here."

Mr. Bell murmured. A few magical wolf-shaped beasts are moving to surround us.I smiled bitterly.

It's quiet.

"Ah, this is a place you wouldn't normally see in the dark.I suppose he was going to sneak up and surprise me without a sound. "

"But we know."

Shall we do it?

Mr Bell tried to hold the Deathbringer, but I shook my head sideways.

"We're here to scout.Let's just leave the fish alone. "

"Sure is barren."

Well, let's move it all at once.

I changed my body to blend into the magic around me.The same goes for Mr. Bell. If he had seen it, it would have looked like a human suddenly disappeared into the air.

Travel away and earn distance.We have arrived near the heart of the Announcement Region, with the wolf in the air.

"There's a hole in the basement? Bingo."

There was a huge hole in front of us.Is there a diameter of about 4,500 meters?Their Battleship is 300 meters in class, so we can afford to get through.

It is so deep that you can't see the bottom even with magical eyes.

They said we were terrestrial.

I recall a declaration of war from the Stigme Empire fleet that appeared in the Elves.

"I didn't care much about the survival of the nascent Apollo Empire, but they might have called us grounders because they were human beings."

I'm not looking down at Earthlings as heavenly people, I'm looking up at Earthlings as underground people.

Mr. Bell opened his mouth.

"The center of the realm is a big hole.It's not like there's a castle, it's not connected to any other space. "

"Then we'll have to go down."

I once again blended into the magic around me and jumped into the big hole. Mr. Bell also continued.

It's a deep hole. How far does it go?Deep... really deep.

Maybe it's just falling to the center of the world - I saw some purple light in my eyesight.

"Can you see the bottom...?"

"I hope it's the end."

Mr. Bell slaps lightly. Eventually, it went into a huge cavity.It was an underground city that shined with purple.

"Oh! Is this the Stigma Empire!?"

We'll land on the ground.If it had jumped off normally, it would have been instantly dead.

From the hills outside the town, you can see the ground.

"There is a world underground....."

There is not only a town, but also a vast earth.It is subtle to call it the sky just because there is a ceiling.However, the height of the underground and perforated ceiling is quite small, but it is possible to fly by aircraft or airship.

... I don't know. Somehow, it feels like the world inside the cylinder.

It was reminiscent of a cylindrical space colony by Dr. Gerald O'Neill of the United States.Because artificial urban facilities were also visible on the ceiling.

"Depth..."

"Anyway, it's big."

Mr. Bell looked up.

"It's so deep.That way, you won't be able to come back if you fall. "

"Even if I escaped the beast in the dark, some of them would have died in a pattern of falling without noticing a hole."

None of those who entered the search returned, either because of the Dark Beast or because of the hole in the ground.

"It seems attractive to sightseeing, but it's going to take a while to look around."

"First, let's find a place to hide and set up a portal."

It was the harvest that showed that they didn't come back because they were flying into different spaces.

There are huge spaces and cities underground, probably the Stigma Empire, but it's really hard to explore.

Buildings like the town buildings were marked with the same symbol as the Stigma Imperial Ship.A winged emblem reminiscent of a dragon on two swords.... the sword is pointing down, reminiscent of the vampire's fangs.

This should be a base and should be investigated.

"It's not a place where we can find out in at least a day or two."

Me and Mr. Bell go down the hill and into the woods.Avoid urban areas and find secret entrances and exits.

Nevertheless, it's a plant I've never seen before.Must be in the woods.

It's a strange feeling.

Mr. Bell turned around.

"This is just an artificial light source.Because it's underground, there's no sun, and I know it doesn't reach the light. "

"It always feels like night.The view is beautiful at night. "

I can see the lights in the underground city.These people can't stand the light of the earth.

I wonder if it's okay around here.

I came out of the woods where there were some giant rocks dotted.It's hidden in the bushes and the town is invisible.It's a neck that's dark, but I think it's wrong to expect bright places in the ground in the first place.

"Portal Installation"

I split the magic that makes up me and developed the portal.
