"This is another much more splendid 'tower'... no, you're a 'fortress'"

Hikaru's first visiting roots were surrounded by solid rocks around him. The rock was also in close proximity to the well cut out stone, and the stacked cylindrical shape was obviously built by someone.

Hikaru, who thought everything but immature roots was "egg" quality stuff north of Lanzharvest, was astonished.

"At the end of the day, someone is making it - well, it would be the eighty-nine Koukimals. Is that why you're going to be these artifacts? But how did you make such a fine thing?"

Secondly, it was Hikaru who put his mind to architectural technology, but it wouldn't have to be now to think about that.

On the surface of the fortress is already crawling with twilight, a building with a season. I don't have an entrance as well as an "egg," but the stone wasn't exactly cut off, so I can climb on my feet. The height is about 10 meters, so if Hikaru's physical abilities now - he also has "muscle strength" 3, so he can easily climb up.

Hikaru started climbing the wall with bouldering guidelines when he did so, trying to think about it then if there were no route into the roof as well.

"With that said, I never thought I'd have any connection to bouldering, but with proper power, it's such a fun thing."

It is an idyllic forest surrounded by pimples and birds. Although there is a strong magical reaction inside the fortress, there were no defensemen here like Stonegolem.

So maybe.

Hikaru was completely alarmed.

He quickly came to the roof and went down there alone. The floor on the roof is a bit of a different quality building material than the wall - I thought.

"... Huh?

My feet sink in.

"Uh, eh!?"

The floor makes a noise as if it were a mess.

If you look at it, the whole floor falls out - the floor runs cracks like a vortex, which turns into a single giant snake (...).

"Huh -!?"

Hikaru, who was about to fall free, reached for the wall.

"Activate!"

Activate the Gravity Balancer and your body floats in space for a moment. I stuck it on the wall in that gap.

It was dangerous.

A giant dragon stone emitted an incredible magic reaction in "Magic Detection", so I didn't realize there were other creatures overlapping on it.

Instead, the creature had little magic reaction - until just now.

- Shlorololol......

It is the serpent who looks up to us on the ground as the sand and dust reign. Serpent, though its size is different.

At the center of which the snake wrapped around the tunnel, there was a stone pedestal, and a giant dragon stone was seated. But there is no light in the dragon stone - moss is growing surprisingly around it, trapping the light.

One snake head and weighing 100 kg is going to cross lightly. The body supporting it is dusty, but Hikaru thinks it may have been in a state of temporary death for years. They went into a low activity state (sleep mode) to keep waiting for intruders and continued to live with very small amounts of calorie consumption.

"... a genuine creature (...) who is not a demonic conductor life form like the Golem, but you mean absolute obedience to orders like the Golem?

It may not be that surprising where those life forms were.

I just didn't imagine at all that such a giant snake was shaping the roof of the fortress like a lid (...).

Now, the snake is slowly starting to flood with magic - it's starting that giant.

And his eyes are firmly pointed this way.

Unfortunately, Hikaru is in direct sunlight. I can't hide a once recognised Hikaru with his "hidden" ability.

"... run away"

Only to escape before the snake moves out - Hikaru climbs the wall. Even though I was able to climb in no time when I did so earlier, now is the time to escape, and I can feel myself moving slowly.

The distance from snake to self is 10 meters. It's not the distance a fallen snake can come right at.

Usually.

The magic hasn't reached the snake's body yet. The serpent, who felt Hikaru trying to escape even though he was, stretches up at once from the state of shrinking his body.

"Ugh!

The rapidly approaching serpent has his mouth firmly open. Hikaru flies through the wall and his body flies out into the air.

The snake's torso passes through where Hikaru was, scraping the walls and making a gory noise.

"Chip."

Wind pressure from rising snakes blows Hikaru's body. The opposite wall approaches in an instant but lands on the wall with both hands and feet (...). The impact runs on the body but manages to devour the wall. I didn't have to fall.

(How do we take them down? If I shoot Livolver here, I'm going to seduce him into dragonstone. Given the big bang when "eggs," obviously I eat the convolutions too, considering this narrow space)

serpent with his neck slightly over the "fortress" on the "?" But I look down at this one with a face I've said.

The loss of Hikaru for just a few hours, and Hikaru's entry into the shadows, began to make Hikaru work. Even during this day, you will be able to hide Hikaru's appearance thanks to the effectiveness of Soulblaze, an additional skill on the Soulboard in addition to the fact that the "blocking" system is Max.

Perhaps that serpent won't find out if you don't move...

Thought so.

"Roar."

When the snake opened its big mouth here, it fired purple liquid from its mouth all over the place. There would be no single reason to disconnect this from being "poisonous".

You can't escape up against the venom coming down from the top. You fly to the side again? If you let yourself in the air, this time the snake will eat you up. If you jump, you're going to find out where you are. If you don't jump...

(He hasn't got a perfect idea of where we are yet)

That's why the "poison" is extensively spit out.

- Shlorololol......

When the snake puts out its long tongue by the way, as it drifts, it adds its body to the inner wall of the fortress. His neck was in such a state that it would hang from the center of the ceiling as it clogged the ceiling neatly, keeping his eyes closed.

Darkness comes. The dust that was rising with silence descends.

(... it was dangerous)

Hikaru was - in the same place (...).

Even when the venom poured, he remained still.

Snakes were, after all, snakes (...). I understand the habits of creatures, and am optimized as a wild hunter.

Yeah, if you do it and sprinkle the venom, the prey on the side that can be poisoned, no matter how much it was hidden in the grass, will just pop up and try to escape by landing a bullet around it. That's our chance to prey on snakes.

Conversely, if the prey does not escape, we will judge it as "what is not there"; we will not bombard it twice and three times in our minds.

Huge chunks didn't seem to hit me, and I stood still deciding that my coat would prevent me if I had some splashes. The reading hit me, and I felt it hit my coat, but it didn't melt there, it just dripped.

(Let's get down)

The serpent is also returning to sleep mode. Hikaru slowly, walked down the wall like a snag.

(Huh)

There is no vision because of the darkness, but in "Magic Detection," the ceiling was the only place on the ground where there was room for Hikaru to descend, although it was filled with snakes.

It was when Hikaru arrived - took a breather.

!?

On the left thumb, there was a slight shock.

That could not be called alarm. It was alarm. Although the giant mass of venom did not hit Hikaru directly, it passed down the wall - it snapped.

That touched my thumb.

Soon afterwards, the customer developed burning pain.

It turns into incredible pain even though I wear gloves.

(You just penetrate it with contact!

We just don't know how toxic it is. We have to treat it as soon as possible. I can only believe that this palpitation is not caused by poison.

Hikaru immediately moved on to action. Sprinkle water from the water bottle that was hanging on your hips. Say "covert" is working. Be careful not to stand flashy about water sounds.

(Calm down, calm down...)

Is it really just the thumb that feels the pain? You sure about that?... definitely. Is that poison going around your whole body from your thumb? I don't know. But it doesn't pull any numbing pain.

Sweat erupts.

Better get rid of the poison. Now.

Turn your hand around your hips but notice there is no "Shortcut of Arms" there. I left it earlier when I left the wall. I had no choice but to pull through the sidelines. It was fortunate that the blade of pitch-black was not the magical reaction that emitted the light of what was there.

(Huh...)

I feel invisible but sweaty all over my body.

Hikaru stuck his hand plush out of his nose into his mouth.

(Let's go - ugh!?)

Hikaru cut off his thumb by trying to pull forward when he hit the flanking blade against his left thumb.

!!

After the burn-like pain, the incredible pain runs with the chill. The tears overflowed but I managed to eat up my teeth and my voice was heard.

My left hand is hot. It must be because of the blood to get wet. But we've managed to stop the poison.

Revolver has Paula's restorative magic in it, so she should be able to cure her thumb, but not on this occasion right now. Because magical activation involves light. Hikaru empirically knew that he could not extinguish the light emitted "in secret".

(… This failure was expensive. But they let me learn. The question is what to do from here)

We must defeat the snake first.

If we unleash the magic of fire here, we can exhaust the dragon stone and the snake, but naturally Hikaru will also be involved in the Buddha.

When I pulled the hand plush out of my mouth, I managed to wrap it around my left hand, although it was dark and I didn't know. You just have to stop the bleeding for a while.

(You need to climb the wall to defeat the snake. But if you shoot in the fire magic, it could detonate into the dragonstone... the distance is about 10 meters. There is a way to defeat a snake... there is. But there's also a problem)

Hikaru opened the soul board. I can confirm that this is there even though it has not emitted light. The remaining point is three - Hikaru poured all this into "instantaneous power".
