The Zions go their way towards the Kingdom of Valencius, which is also the birthplace of Aria. Take a few days to relax and travel.

The route is going well and we are now moving around a place called the Rock Zone.

We'll be at the border post in a day, but the weather is getting suspicious enough for Aria and Haku to talk about the weather.

"Cloudy weather continues."

"It's going to rain a lot when we get into Valencius. There's a swamp right across the border."

"Like a woman's heart, I hate transportable weather."

"If I hack, my heart doesn't sound like I understand. Anyway, why don't you take a break? Let's have some afternoon treats too."

'Nice eh!

Near one of the big rocks that can be scattered, Haku stops on his feet.

Theon takes cookies out of the dark bag and discusses the future while eating sweets.

Since there is a church nearby that combines accommodation, Aria's suggestion led to a convergence of opinions that we would be staying there today.

"Huck and Aria, you can rest a little. Few demons, and I'll keep an eye on them."

"Thank you, gentleman."

"Sweet for kindness ~"

Haku rests in a lying position, and Aria falls asleep with her back in her torso. It's a totally familiar sight. Theon also sits on the spot and looks at it. Humans and demons can get along very well, he smiled.

After about thirty minutes I was a little concerned and decided to walk around the area.

Somehow there are signs of organisms. I can't detect magic because it's not night. I just had the feeling that they were after me.

"Is this hole………?

There was an unnatural hole about fifty meters away. That's more than one. I immediately pulled out my sword because I realized it was the habitat of the worm.

The decision is correct and the whole worm comes out of the hole.

It looks like it made the blemishes huge, but it features a big mouthful of bitches and fangs.

The body surface is null, and the body of the habit is stiff, so it is difficult to slash or strike. Many of them are more than ten meters long and do not scream at their habits.

Still from behind, silently eating on Scion.

"Kuh."

When he flies, the worm goes straight into another hole.

This is the tactic of the worm, which keeps passages in the ground and moves them from hole to hole. That means the enemy's counterattack will rarely arrive, and they can continue to attack unilaterally.

Even intermediate adventurers are often swallowed when caught off guard because of their high level of agility.

Not long ago, Worm assaulted Zion again. Avoid while quickly flanking, then slash it once.

"Was it shallow.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

When the worm enters the hole, the area close to the tail becomes swollen. It's like when a snake swallows a rat, that's how it is.

"I don't think so…………."

Regardless, it is likely to be an animal or other demon. Worms are carnivorous, but they don't have much taste, so they eat anything.

But since no animal was more bloated around here, Theon would refrain from using the magic of destroying his flesh to tear it apart, just in case.

Clear your ears and focus your consciousness on the sound of moving through the ground.

I sensed the next direction to jump out, so I put out "Dark Ball" and let it float in my right diagonal direction.

After that, it will not be slight. Even if the worm opens its big mouth from the front. Because it's better to feed yourself.

When there is a feed in front of you, most demons lose a lot of attention to it. Same as a worm.

Predict the timing and release the blade of the wind from the dark balls. It was too powerful to destroy the enemy.

Worm's fangs don't reach Zion, they fall in two and bottomed backwards. Theon walked closer and stabbed Todome with a sword in his head.

The other half of the torso was unworked with the gnaw for a while, but it soon became quiet.

"I wish it was a cow or a pig."

Place the blade near the swell and cut. Goro and a large, blunt mass came out of his body.

Unfortunately, Zion's wishes were not received, and it was human beings who were inside. I put my hand on my forehead and realized that although it was a hectic sion for a moment, there was still hope.

The victim was a full plate.

Although the lethality rate is high if swallowed up alive, it's different if you're wrapping your whole body in armor. I'll take your helmet off right away. He was a man in his third or forties. Check your breath.

- Alive.

So with a gentle tap on his cheek, if he keeps speaking up, the man leaks a groan, although not in response. It also seemed like I could wake myself up after a short wait.

"Oh... that... me..."

It seems to have regained consciousness, so it is never a bad result.

Theon stroked his chest down and asked the man what the circumstances were.
