The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

She should have held her breath for less than a few dozen seconds, but everyone was breathing lightly.

"Ha-ha, at first it was disgusting... but now I can handle it..."

"There is still a feeling of some magic being sucked in, but there is no lack of fluidity."

"It's like this when you absorb magic.I wonder what would have happened to us if we hadn't had the people who were fighting me like this.... "

"Yeah... it's been smoked a little, but it's within my expectations.Ruth... as Grandpa Tomash said, he's barely gone down. "

"Looks like it."

Although there was an unpleasant feeling, Ruth had almost no sense of loss of magic.

This was taught in advance by Tomash, and Ruth says it is due to the very small holes that release magic.

(I can't believe Ed told me this before.Is it good or bad...)

In other words, Ruth is less susceptible to magic than Cyrus and Ed, followed by the ark.It can be said that there are fewer restrictions on movement than other members.

(Cyrus is right, even if it's a doll's body, it doesn't amplify magic.)

Cyrus, who was dealing with the same doll body, used big magic, so I wondered if Ruth could deal with ordinary magic if his body was different, but that wasn't the case.Ruth is still unable to release magic, and his magic amount is faint.

(Thomas said it's true that magic and its nature depend on the brain.)

Thomas, who has been studying it for over a thousand years, has not been able to elucidate everything, but he still knows that the amount of magic, nature, and release of living things depend on the brain.No matter what kind of thing the mind integrates with away from the body, the amount of magic or release will not increase unless the brain of the Loose body changes.

I mean, in order for Ruth to unleash his magic, he needs to change his brain.

(Well, if you change your brain, it won't be me anymore...)

I was able to tell from my own experience that the soul and body can be separated.But after all, the soul is the original body (or brain?), and even if the body disappears, it will not be released from it.Thomas said something else was difficult, but that's all Ruth could figure out.

"So, is it okay for everyone to move?"

They all nodded at Ruth's words.

If there are members who are heavily influenced here, I was thinking of getting them out of the worst intrusion team, but I feel relieved that I don't have to do that.

"Well, let's move on... so I'm at the entrance..."

I couldn't find anything like an entrance on the outer wall of the ark.

"The survey team said that there are holes around here... is this number... a little lower?"

The investigation team was unable to cross the border, but Ruth and the others have been able to trace their infiltration ahead of time.But the entrance was a hole in a giant ark that people could put in.It's pretty hard to find without a target, even though they teach you the general location.

"Ah, it smells different from the outer wall from here!"

Kia raised her ears and pointed downwards from where Ruth and the others were.As I followed the instructions, I found a hole on the other side of the place that looked like a big filling, to the extent that people would put it in.

"Here, here!"

"Kia, that's amazing! Karen, is that what the survey team was talking about?"

"Yes, that's right. The numbers match!Don't do it, Kia! "

Ehehe!

Kia looks good when they praise her.

(This place is like a boulder kia.)

Although she calls herself “smelly," Kia is the sharpest of the members.You can observe magical differences that are impossible to find in Silas and Ed, and subtle changes that are impossible to measure in Karen's Sabine version.It seems that there is something like a wave in the person, and it is difficult to rely on Kia every time, but when the three people raise it, it shows the most reliable policy.

Following Kia's instructions, Cyrus approached the disc into the hole.

It seems that holes like two people standing at the entrance lead to the back of the ark.Something that was originally a large vent or something must have chipped when buried on the ground.

"I don't feel the magical flow of traps or intrusions."

Ah, the investigation team is right, it seems like there is a real coincidence hole here.Zagres himself wouldn't have noticed. "

Well, let's go in. Yuan, please. "

"No problem."

One of Yuan's men stepped down carefully on the ark in advance.

Yuan is in charge of leading the team.Because he is light and alert, he can move quickly to inform Ruth and the others when something happens, but he can escape.Kia is of the same type, but he tends to run a little ahead and has a lot of sensory expressions, so he asked for Yuan's next.

"My feet are stable.It looks like we're going deeper... everybody come in. "

Ruth and the others also lowered their legs in the ark in response to Yuan's voice, which confirmed the surroundings.

The entrance area was narrow, but there was a slight spread when I entered.It seemed to be just as close as the connecting parts of the ducts to each other, and it was so large that even if everyone stood side by side, it would be unimpeded.

"This is the entry point. I'll put a marker on it."

Karen takes one hand off the Sabine and draws a magic cube on the ground.At the same time, a green lamp lit up at the edge of the rustic version that I had.

It is an application of the means of communication used by Karen's Spirit Magic of the Earth, which was previously used during Dungeon Exploration.

At that time, there were many constraints such as having to touch natural objects, but Thomas added improvements to the magic and put it into the Zabin version.

"Guys, I can't do this anymore... okay?"

Everyone nodded loudly at Ruth's words.

Ruth and the others are only after Alec.It is of paramount importance that extra fights are avoided and not detected by Zagres, who controls the area.

Then there was a mass of magic in the ark.Space may be distorted or suspicious hallucinations may occur.Sometimes things that are inconceivable with common sense can happen. Be careful. "

Cyrus added to Ruth's words.

Geo has told me that whatever happens in the ark is not strange.We needed to tighten our minds.

"Yes, Karen. How's the transmission?"

"Yes, let's try it... Maria, can you hear me?"

As before, Karen started communicating in the Zabin version, but no matter how long it took, Marianne didn't reply.

That's what I expected.

After all, we can't communicate inside the ark.

Because there are many magical disturbances in the ark, it was anticipated in advance that communication with the outside world would be impossible.Ruth and the others were not particularly surprised.

"I told them in advance, so they'll be fine.I think we should proceed as originally planned. "

"That's right. Let's get started... Alec..."

Ruth began looking for Alec's golden light.When I looked at it from a distance, it was the light of purpose that was in my sight, but it was lost from the area that approached the boundary.

(Alec's light is getting pretty thin....)

Alec's light is gradually diminishing since Ruth first woke up.It meant that his presence had melted into the ark. We don't have much time.

Looking at the top and bottom of the left and right while concentrating, I saw a faint shine of gold at my feet.

(I knew it was downstairs....)

As expected, Alec was on the lower level of the ark.

Currently, the ark shows its appearance on the ground, but according to Geo and the others, only about two-thirds of its original appearance is on the surface.Ruth and the others are entering through a fairly low entrance to avoid fighting over the sky, but the structure is further down.

"Everybody, let's go down. Are you ready?"

Oh.

Ruth and the others put each of the small lamps that Tomash gave them to their waists and proceeded to a dark, invisible path.

------------

Loose finally broke into the ark and headed for the lower level, but the Fusion Demon wandered along the way.

The goal was to avoid fighting as much as possible, so I went as far as I could, but I couldn't avoid all my enemies, and I went into battle several times.

For animals and monsters, even if the opponent became a Fusion Demon, it should not have been possible to compete with ordinary people like Ruth.Because you can't even hurt yourself properly without wrapping up special magic.

Though it was predicted that fighting in the ark would be inevitable, Thomas gave him an unusual weapon in advance.

Ha!

Rapidly moving Yuan takes the lead and attracts the attention of his enemies.What he has is a double sword in the shape of a sword.A weapon with a red lettering on its sword seems to increase his speed and polish his acrobatic movements.

Wow!

It is Kia who disturbs the enemies heading for Yuan.Depending on the human and animal type and situation, they change their appearance and fly directly to the enemy.His weapon is a special gauntlet that transforms him into an optimal shape, whether he's human or animal.

"Here we go!"

Karen's spear is in pursuit.Deals a heavy blow to enemies who are being manipulated by Euan and Kia's movements.Karen understood the Magic Machine well, but quickly understood the nature of the weapon given.It deforms the shape of the spear by watching enemy movements, dealing damage most efficiently.

"Watch out, behind you!"

Maxim has a large shield to catch a counterattack from the enemy.Instead of blocking the magic of the Fusion Demon, his shields reflect on some things as they are.This shield also has a special ability to penetrate Maxim's weapons.I was able to sift the sword while holding my shield and defeat the enemy in front of me.The size also seemed to vary to a certain extent, and it was advantageous to be able to lower to the waist when holding the sword.

All four weapons were mixed with Orihalcon and were more capable than ordinary weapons.Also, since it has been made into a specification for the Fusion Demon by a group of brave magicians and moors, it has an overwhelming power in the Ark.

"Don't run away!"

Ruth may respond directly with a knife, but basically with a bow.The main body of the bow is of course Orha.With the integration of Silas and Orha, Ruth can also change the shape directly.Arrows are also separated from the Orha main unit, so you don't have to worry about replenishing them because they can be recovered after shooting.Silas also increased his accuracy and power, making him more powerful than a regular bow.This one would be better than a knife.

"Ladies and gentlemen, stand back!"

It's mostly Ed who stabs a thorn.Ed has a knife, but basically fights by crushing his enemies with the enormous magic that floats around him.It also incorporates a special magic team taught by Moore to cleanse enemies directly.

For those who wander in the ark for more than a thousand years after becoming a molten demon, the trick may be salvation.

"It seems that all the enemies around us have disappeared."

Everybody stay alert for a while.

Once Ruth and the others cleared the surrounding enemy, they all remained alert for a while to see if there were any more.

Even though the party is weak and the Orihalcon we borrowed has been adjusted so that it doesn't have any more attack power than necessary, we are fighting in the ark, because there is no guarantee that Zagres won't notice.
