The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

"... you have too many"

Five meters wide is a wide hallway, nearly ten people, even just thirty meters beyond.

The Corlnites, who continue to walk silently and faintly, have a splendid but creepy attitude towards fulfilling their duties.

Everyone is quite capable of exploring with atmosphere, magic sensing, etc.

Individual combat power is somewhat inferior to Reese's, but she might also be in danger if surrounded by large numbers.

Plus, there's Corlnite upstairs, so it's tough.

The temptation (temptation) of the Demon King Corru, which enchants this number, can be seen at one end of its awesomeness.

That's why I'm not giving up.

Though it would be tough to break through unnoticed without a ring.

With as much power as this to explore strength with magic sensing, perception inhibition should still pass.

I don't even have time to stop, so I start moving.

My presence is recognized as not in front of me due to perception inhibition, but I walk with great care.

Keep out of contact with Corlnite... because if you bump into it, the recognition inhibitory effect will be lifted.

Convenient mirage ring but not omnipresent.

While activating recognition inhibition, a little caution should be exercised when passing through places where these large numbers of beings walk.

People don't bump into each other because they walk in recognition of nature and where they are with each other like they breathe.

I bump into people when it's a popular place, like downtown.

If the opponent moves to the right, he creates a path to the left…

That's pretty scary because when only one of them gets unrecognized, they don't hesitate to stick it over here.

Well, it helps that no one suddenly dashes or makes irregular moves.

We are additionally disguised as equipped with full body armor and hood in addition to the ring, considering the pattern that activates the ring and makes it difficult to move...

Supplementally, Mirage Ring is not only a perception inhibitor that erases these beings, but it is also possible to cast phantom magic on itself that entails phantoms.

It's just hard to handle phantoms compared to perception inhibition, which you just need to activate.

Can't you use it without having a solid image?

Even if Gargoyle's I suddenly try to be an elf, because I don't have a solid image of my body balance, my ear length, or anything like that, I can't reproduce it well using the phantom and my opponent suspects me.

Plus if the exterior is too characteristic like mine, you have to imagine a full body image to show it to another species.

Originally people-shaped, like elves and vampires, it's easy to apply because if the appearance is common to some extent, you just need to change it partially.

It is also possible to change the color of the skin, hair, etc. and show it to someone else.

Some of the Corlnites were not just walkers in the hallway, but waiting by the hallway like figurines.

I guess they're going to pretend to be figurines and ambush the intruder they tried to pass by.

Well, I wasn't particularly problematic because I wouldn't be recognized.

I was surprised by the number of Corlnites, but the wide corridor made it easy and helpful to move around.

Magic sensing explores the position of the stairs while traveling.

Find a staircase that leads from the sixth to the seventh floor, safely and without engaging.

Thirty minutes have passed since we broke in, and if we find another staircase later, it's the top floor.

Though there's a ring, it's too good to be scary.

I haven't heard from Reese either, so it'll be fine outside.

There were also massive corlnites roaming on the seventh floor.

Well, that's the same as on the sixth floor, so there's no particular problem.

Continue walking while dodging Corlnite.

Magic sensing was used to discover the stairs leading to the top floor.

... but.

"... that?

At the end of the stairs, the doors on the top floor side were closed.

There's no way I'm gonna smash the door, so I'm gonna turn around and look for another way.

But with magic sensing, I can't even find clues to explore my surroundings.

Even if we check the rooms on the seventh floor, all we can confirm is the room that has nothing to do with the weapons warehouse, and the Corlnite that is also in the room.

Five minutes, enough time passes and you start to feel a little uncomfortable.

One floor of the castle, about a hundred meters wide at a straight distance to see the diagram.

I'm not exploring a vast labyrinth.

Even so, we have not been able to discover characteristic structures like stairs.

This stuck situation, is it possible that I'm embedded in a cognitive-inhibitory magic operation?

(No... there's no way)

It would be impossible to do such an imitation even in Berea without an extra hefty trick.

Only moments and hours pass.

I definitely don't need to see Cliff in this break-in, but at least I want to get some clue and get out of the castle.

I'm in a bit of a hurry. The footsteps of Corlnite that sound like you're grinning at me in your thoughts.

I get frustrated and want to kick Corlnite walking in front.

Shall I decide on the perfect slap-free?

"... Phew"

Let's take a deep breath first and calm down.

You should be calm before you rush to consume your time.

I give up my covert actions and give up my urge to smash through the ceiling.

I felt it was going well up to the seventh floor, but I'll try to think back and see if I really didn't feel uncomfortable so far.

Speaking of which... on the floor from the sixth floor to the top, I haven't seen anything but Corlnite.

It seems like it would be nice to see one of the scubas or maids working in the castle.

To think, the sixth and seventh floors seem to be the exclusive space of Corlnite.

Unlike the slave magic that had befallen me, charm still requires a meal or sleep after spiritual domination.

Since several rooms had beds, dining tables, etc., it could be inferred that it was their living space.

Quite a thoughtful floor configuration, or something.

This floor, when we get here, it's like a pack of soldiers.

I'm the one who made it this far, but the average guy can't even reach the seventh floor.

Almost perfect on the defensive side...... but.

(Isn't that too much of anything?

Thoughts, questions that keep coming up.

At a meeting the other day, Cliff said he came from the stairs to the top floor. It's not a sprinkle.

So I guess it also opens the door of the stairs to the top floor that I just discovered, but without any other means of travel to the top floor, the convenience of the castle is too bad.

If the stairs were sealed off, how would they travel during normal times?

Corlu usually goes through the window to the top floor?

Besides, if anything goes wrong on this floor, how is Corlnite going to let Corlnite know?

After all, there has to be some other route. I'm not convinced otherwise.

Yes, thinking...

The footsteps, which had been followed by a hiatus, stopped perfectly.

(... yeah?

The roaming Corlnites suddenly stand still.

also, could they have noticed that there is an intruder?

Did I do something to get suspicious?

For a moment, I got anxious... but apparently not to see how Corlnite was doing.

The end of their gaze is pointing in a different direction from mine.

After a few moments, the Corlnites began to move all the way down the stairs.

"... co, lulu, dear"

"I'll be right there... Dear Corlu"

"Dear Corlu, oh... Dear Corlu"

Corlu, Corlu knights traveling with bumps and whines with Corlu.

He can't see the expression because of the helm and doesn't know what the purpose of the move is, but he's headed to Corul.

I think about what to do after this while I observe them.

Normally, while there is no Corlnite, we should do a detailed survey of the seventh floor.

But I haven't found the stairs yet after spending more than twenty minutes.

Current situation where we haven't found one clue to the top floor.

I'm afraid even if I stay on the seventh floor, it's going to just consume time.

then...... dangerous but why don't you put the back of the corlnite on it?

If you go with me, inevitably, you'll see Corlu.

But I'm equipped with the same full plate mails as Corlnite right now.

There is a large number of corlnites, although recognition inhibition will never pass to Corlr.

The type of armor Corlnite is equipped with falls apart.

You could delude me if I were in a group.

Wouldn't you find out if there was about one more? That's the idea that comes to mind.

We're talking about Corlu living on the top floor, and if we can track Corlu's position well, we might be able to get to the top floor.

Uh-huh, that's the trouble.

Reese told me not to push it, but what should I do?

There's a good chance there's no berea in the castle. Now's the time.

Corlu alone should be able to handle it in case.

Seems worth some impotence.

If you don't get into a tiger hole, you have to have a tiger child... That's the one.

I make a decision.

All right! Let's follow Corlnite.

That's what my instincts are complaining about... I feel it.

It's my instinct to live without dying for a thousand or five hundred years.

It should be enough to believe... I guess.
