Underfoot you can hear the sound of a do-on, a do-on. Along with that comes a tremor from the soles of the feet.

A giant is rampaging.

I'm going through the dirt, building scaffolding, trying to climb up.

The damage caused by falling off the bridge appears to be minimal.

Hikaru takes out the "Holy Demon Ball" twirling from the bag to the Bilord.

"VOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Hikaru puts his face to the scream like him with his tympanic membrane.

"I knew he was after (...)"

technology of the ancient Poerne senior dynasty. The key lies in the existence of the "Holy Demon".

Hikaru's guess is that "Holy Demon" is close to "electricity." If you think of a weapon "that was on Earth" like "Revolver," you can easily imagine that the Earthlings who came to this world would have tried to recreate modern science.

If so, what is "Holy Demon Ball" —— Holy Demon, or "battery" that encloses electricity.

No, it's more squeamish.

Anyway, it was this "Holy Demon Ball" that was supplying the Holy Demon of the entire Royal Castle.

Earlier, the treasure trove was bright. But after the giant raid, it was dark when Lavia and I left the treasure trove. Even though it was bright until just before.

Suddenly the source of the light was interrupted —— if so, it would be natural to assume that at the time Hikaru brought up the "Holy Demon Ball".

It was still bright around the time I got Revolver, so sticking the "Holy Demon Ball" in my bag would mean that the Holy Demon remained for a little while.

And a giant.

The giant attacked Hikaru, who was supposed to be in a "secret" state —— but the story is different if the giant's purpose is "Holy Demon Ball". Maybe the treasure trove was blocking the existence inside. By Hikaru's opening of the door, the giant grasped the position of the "Holy Demon Ball". And at the same time, I noticed the presence of someone approaching the "Holy Demon Ball" - Hikaru.

That's how they attacked me carefully to avoid making footsteps.

After that, Hikaru's "mass blockade" didn't work well because of the "Holy Demon Ball". For the Titans, the "Holy Demon Ball" emitted more brilliant lights than the Magic Guide lamp.

"That's what you're here for, isn't it?

"Holy Demon Ball" is a mass of energy.

I don't know why the giants are after this. But if we let this go, we'll probably no longer be tracking giants —— that's Hikaru's guess.

Or you don't have to go away. You should be able to return to a "secret" state as long as you let go of "Holy Demon Ball".

"Lavia —— stay away"

"Yes."

Lavia stopped about 20 meters from Hikaru.

When Hikaru confirmed it, he unraveled and showed it to the giant who was still rampaging.

A square object that emerged from the inside. As usual, there's something like a spark scattered inside.

It's a square piece of shit named "Holy Demon Ball".

(What generates electricity... it's not nuclear power or anything, is it?

It's not at the level that I would have been exposed if I was carrying something like that.

Hikaru threw the "Holy Demon Ball" toward the giant, per billord.

Fluffs and billods flow through the universe, and the "Holy Demon Ball" falls drawing parabolas.

Giant's neck moves loosely.

Turn your gaze to "Holy Demon Ball".

"--I didn't say I'd give it back, did I?

Hikaru had a Livolver in place.

And pulled the trigger toward "Holy Demon Ball".

Route Hubbard's Adventurer Guild was quieter than usual. Instead, there was cool air flowing.

"-- with all these adventurers! Who are you to go to the" Underground of the Ancient Divine People "with me? He says the reward is off."

Gafrasty shook his fist up a leather bag with gold.

But the adventurers react badly.

That's because we all watched Gafrasty interact with the Rank C Adventurers earlier.

"I can't give up my life for getting paid."

"--Rank C Adventurer really hated it."

"-- there's a new monster out there, isn't there? In such a move that even Rank C can't react...... what, did you take the map?

"--You 're also concerned that you left the map you took and disappeared somewhere. Because intelligent monsters are hard to do."

The boy adventurer, who approached him "in secrecy" and borrowed a few Gafrasty files, was treated at some point as a "novice monster".

Because of that, the Rank C adventurers who were working with Gafrasty apparently refused to dive into the dungeon.

Gafrasty doesn't like the cowardly adventurers.

"Money! You don't have enough money--"

"Sir Valves"

Agreia, standing behind Gafrasti like a shadow, slapped him gently in the arm.

"Let's go outside. Something strange -- there are signs."

Gafrasti trusted Agreia's "investigation".

Don't listen to that. Jump out of the Adventurer Guild.

All he cares about is the "Underground of the Ancient Divine People". Look in the direction of the dungeon —— and.

Still, early hours for the sun to go down.

In other words, the sky is bright enough.

Nonetheless —— a dragon-like lightning bolt rising into the sky was visible from his eyes.

"... hey, dude"

Something happened (...).

That's all for sure.

"Let's go, Agreia!

"Ha."

Neither of them took the adventurer and headed to the dungeon entrance.

"Ugh... fuck... what the heck is that..."

Hikaru, drenched in dust, stood up.

"Hikaru!"

"Lavia...... here. Are you okay?"

"Is Hikaru the one who's okay?

There is still terrible sand and dust, but Lavia has come to grind.

In the meantime, check the flesh. I try to touch it everywhere, but the pain doesn't seem to be where the bones of something are broken.

Eventually the sand and dust will subside.

…………

…………

The two were suddenly watching the sight.

The bamboo was half-baked and recessed in a rind bowl.

The same is true of the outer walls of the royal castle, most of which have collapsed in conjunction with the buildings destroyed by the giants.

"... don't be shy"

Hikaru recalls what happened earlier.

The bullet emanating from Revolver was a light so sober that it gave a sense of divinity.

That was, in a way, within the scope of the assumptions. There are four types of bullets released so far: "Ice (Water)," "Rock (Sat)," "Fire" and "Thunder (Wind)". The number of bullets is 6. Then —— I thought there would be two types of "holy" and "evil" for the rest.

But beyond that, it was unexpected.

The bullet smashed the "Holy Demon Ball".

Moment after moment, a thick current erupted —— where was it in that little chunk?

The momentum will not stop. It runs out like a waterfall. The current wrapped around the tunnel and encircled the giant, or destroyed the giant.

At this time Hikaru felt the rank of his soul rise, but not quite.

The current swelled away.

When Hikaru ran out with all his might, Lavia escaped because of it.

Kah --.

Explosive light.

Your surroundings will stain white and you won't be able to keep your eyes open.

The blast blows Hikaru away and rolls him down the ground.

In the white world, it looked like a dragon was going up in the sky.

--Well done. Unsealed. A dwarfed otherworld---

I thought I heard such a voice.

"Lavia... did you hear the dragon just now... saying something?

"Dragons?

Lavia had no idea, so she snapped her neck.

"No... right. Maybe it's my fault."

It's not my fault. But it's too early to talk —— that I'm not from this world.

"! Hikaru......!

Lavia shook her voice.

When I saw it, the undead came out of hiding earlier.

"Magic guide lamp, hang up!

"Yes."

The surrounding area darkens. Hikaru hugs her and activates "mass blockade" because Lavia leans over -- but they are blind to Hikaru and walk toward one place.

(... visible to the naked eye?

I noticed you said you were turning off the demon guide lamp and you could tell what the building was like.

The sky looked up —— the underground ceiling.

There was a white hole worn there.

I guess it was empty when the dragon ran away earlier.

It was so high that it had less light, but it is much easier to see than it is in the dark.

The undead come all the way. From the city. From the crumbling royal castle.

They gathered in one place —— along the edge of the crater.

The stopped undead is just staring down. Ahead is the "Holy Demon Ball" -- no.

(... giant, huh)

Looking down at the giants who turned themselves into undead.

(That corrupt attack of the giant... hiding in the shadows allowed us to avoid it. But all the people in the royal castle and the people in the city are undead. Even though there's no sign of a giant coming into the city...)

Hikaru spins his speculation.

(Which means... the giant had the power to undead all the underground streets without questioning -- but the attack was a one-time means? Or there was an even higher being who would serve the giant...?

Shake your head sideways small.

(Is it useless to just think about it? Six centuries ago)

Two, stare silently at the undead.

undead gathering around the crater. They gathered in a dozen duplexes -- quietly just staring.

Are you dead or resentful?

Or —— do you have something to say to the giant, to someone who created the giant?

The corner of the light-emitting crater was even like the faithful offering their condolences to a saint who fell in the middle of his will.

"Let's go, Lavia"

"... Yes"

Walk out with your back to the remains of the royal castle.

Walking around the city is different from the undead. They are uniformly on their way to the crater and do not notice any of the hikals who activated the "mass blockade".

And unlike humans such as Green Slime, monsters were lurking. I'm not even caught up in Hikaru's "Magic Detection".

After about two hours of walking out, Hikaru said.

I wasn't even different from the undead anymore.

"... not good"

I felt the air deflect.

Somewhere there was a noise called Zuzuun.

"What...?

"Here, it could collapse"

"Huh!?"

Maybe it was bad that the dragon made a hole, or that Hikaru brought up the "Holy Demon Ball" —— maybe it was bad that he destroyed it.

Whatever the reason, something breaks down somewhere far away. The sound is continuous.

I mean, the ceiling's falling.

"Let's hurry."

"--Ha, ha"

I munched at my tired body, and they ran. When Lavia sneaked one shake to "Stamina" because she seemed too annoying, she obviously got more energy.

When they returned to the entrance to the dungeon —— one of the private houses -- they clearly heard the sound of collapse.

Fortunately, the collapse comes from the royal castle side.

Hikaru explores his surroundings with "Magic Detection," but humans —— no adventurers, it seems. There would naturally have been adventurers diving in the same period, but they would just escape if there had been a "anomaly" so far so plainly.

Lavia entered the narrow passage leading to the temple, and Hikaru also tried to follow it.

Finally, Hikaru looks back.

"Hikaru?"

"... I thought I'd know a lot of things if I stepped through the dungeon. Every mystery can be solved and huge treasures can be acquired. That must be the flavor of the dungeon strategy."

Dwon, the sound of the collapse was looming pretty close.

A vibration comes from the wall I put my hand on.

"But that's not true at all... that giant doesn't make sense, and there was even some mysterious technology called Holy Demon. At the end of the quote, the dungeon collapses."

"... right. I also thought it was completely different from what I read in the adventure story"

Hikaru turns his back on the dungeon and steps into the aisle.

Lavia and her gaze collide a few steps up.

"Lavia."

"I wonder what?

"I want to take a bath"

"... Yes?

"Long time no see, I want to put hot water in the hot tub and soak it slowly in the bath... my body is all over me"

Lavia laughed softly.

"Hikaru, once in a while, says luxury."

"Shall I join you, take a bath?

"... idiot"

Lavia walked out a long time ago.

"Angry? Then I'm sorry."

"If we don't hurry, this passage could be crushed."

"Oops, so is that"

"... if you get crushed, you won't be able to take a bath."

"Huh? What now?

"Let's hurry"

"Hey, Lavia. Wait, wait."

Shortly after they arrived at the temple.

A strong breeze came from the passage leading to the dungeon —— perhaps the entrance was blocked.

Thus the first dungeon offense for Hikaru ended.
