To Deprive a Deprived Person

"Kia Yee Yee Yee"

Along with a strange squeal, Cocatris flies heavenly high with a rooster on his head, a lizard on his hands and feet, and a snake's body on his tail. The sunlight illuminated the entire body of the cocatrice rising at a tremendous rate, but only to highlight the toxicity of the red purple color.

"... leave it to me"

When Lena says so, she crosses Mithril's throat and goes up after Cocatrice. Furthermore, Lena increases her speed and leaves Cocatrice intact to unleash Thunderstorm, the sixth floor of black magic from above. Cocatrice aiming wild thunder and wind blades pour down.

Now that she wins, Lena shrugs inside. Just like when you knocked down Wyburn before, many of the demons that make the sky the main battlefield halve that threat if they drop it to the ground.

Against impending magic, Cocatrice spits out a large amount of gray braces and hides herself in the ash smoke.

"... Huh!?

Lena, who was sure of the victory, gives a startling look. It should also petrify when the thunderbolt of "Thunderstorm" comes into contact with the wrapped braces of Cocatrice, and one thunderbolt-shaped stone after another falls to the ground. When the remaining blade of wind comes into contact with the ash smoke, it scratches the body of Cocatrice, who was hiding himself, all the ash smoke while raising the sound as if it had collided with the stone. But ash smoke acts as a shield, and the wounds on Cocatrice's body are shallow, resulting in stirring up the struggle.

"Kick-ass, kick-ass!

Cocatrice descends sharply to the ground as she raises the roar of anger.

"You guys, licking it because it worked in 'Enrio in the Decay Realm' is gonna hurt, huh?

"I know ~"

"My lord, I am not alert to fine dust either"

Don't take your eyes off the steep descending caucatrice, Nina and Marifa reply to Yu's advice.

Currently, the Yu and the others are located in the deepest part of the C-rank labyrinth, The Devil's Bird Cage, in the fortress city of Molygour. This labyrinth, as its name suggests, is home to many bird-based demons, but unlike other labyrinths it is not divided by hierarchy. The 'Devil Bird's Cage', made up of one floor, is a vast labyrinth, but when you enter it, there is the sky, and eighty percent of the earth is a wetland zone. This wetland was home to demons classified as inferior, such as single-horned thunder fish, poison toads and water snakes, which, from the Devil Birds, were a dressed feeding ground and a labyrinth suitable for the Devil Birds to reproduce.

"Huh!!

Cocatrice opens her mouth wide. It was Nina and Marifa waiting for the petrified brace to come, but there was never a way for the brace to come out of her mouth. I thought you just opened your mouth, Marifa, but soon you realize the mistake.

"Ugh......!? You sound like a deafening growl."

Marifa holds her ears down with her hands. Blood was pouring out of my ears. Late I squat by holding my ear to Nina on a colo or run. It was an attack by Cocatrice's skill 'Ultrasound'. "Ultrasound" causes watermarks in the freshwater that covers the earth, and the trembling water ripples like a creature. And the attack of "Ultrasound" reaches to Yu and the others who were watching the game away from Nina and the others.

"Sound..."

Yu, who has the unique skill 'Hearing Rise', had taken more damage than Marifa to his ears.

"Ma, master! Blood."

It was Russ watching the game as well next to Yu, but when he sees the blood pouring out of Yu's ear, he is disturbed. I rush to put up a junction that blocks the sound, but Momo moves faster than that. Momo, who was sitting on his shoulder rather than on Yu's head, the usual constant position, notices Yu's anomaly and unfolds Fairy Tree House (Fairywood), the eighth floor of Fairy Magic. A branch of a fairy tree that rejects all malicious things tends to protect Yu.

"Knock..."

Russ teeth Momo as he pieces against Russ with a Doya face. Namari, who is not here by the way, is being tested on Nameless Island today. It was a dead end for Namari because if he took a bad spot in the test, he would skip a snack.

"Russ."

"Grunting...... Momo, even I noticed."

"Russ."

"Make a proud face of it like that"

"Russ!"

"The only good thing about myself in front of the master - yes! Master, what's wrong?

"It's not funny to be here, is it?

"That's not true," Russ said loudly and wanted to deny it. Recently, I was pursued by my work in the nameless kingdom and my time spent with Yu had been greatly reduced. Just stay on Yu's side and Russ's frozen heart will dissolve like a snowmelt and warm up. Whenever he made a joke about the operation and alchemy of Yu and the nameless kingdom, Russ's heart jumped and only then could he forget his revenge.

"If you go that way, you might find something interesting."

"Over there......?

Russ looks in the direction Yu points out. Others don't have to know, and Russ knows Yu won't say this without meaning.

"Okay. Now, let me leave your side for a moment. Momo, I'll take care of the master."

Momo answered Russ's words in a gutsy pose, dropping off Russ as she drifted off her hoof.

Meanwhile, the fighting between Cocatrice and Nina and the others was still ongoing. By the spitting petrified braces of Cocatrice, the wetlands had transformed their appearance on one side into a stone earth.

"Yo, ho."

The 'ultrasound' emitted from Cocatrice's mouth, the invisible attack Nina expects more than the tremors of the earth, turned into air and stone, and packs the distance. Diving into Cocatrice's pocket, Nina unleashes a dagger move, Two Blades/Swirl Flashes. It's an LV3 dagger move that spins and slashes from body to body, but Nina activated it with two swords. As Nina waves her dagger, whirled by a tremendous rotation in Cocatrice's pocket, Cocatrice's red-purple feathers scatter with blood.

"Huh!!

All in all, Kokatris keeps waving his dagger under his feet. Nina aims to emit 'ultrasound', but as soon as she realizes how Kokatris behaves, Nina is not there, and the stone earth crushes like a substitute and dust rises.

"Gigi yee yee yee............ huh!?

Being on the ground like this was awkward, it was Cocatrice who first tried to escape to the sky, but how many wings his body never floated.

"Eh heh. Shadowbind."

Nina squeaks as she sets up her dagger.

By Nina's shadow move Shadowbind, the shadow created by Kokatris himself was capturing Kokatris like a restraint.

"Colo, run, go!

He receives Marifa's decree and runs like an arrow unleashed by Colo and Run. The tail of a cocatrice serpent, whose neck is still confused without knowing its own situation, eating a colo and screaming in severe pain, looms closer than behind the colo. But the spinous tail hidden in the tail of the run pierces the tail of the snake.

"Von!!

Coro twisted his whole body as he roared, eating a piece of Cocatrice's neck and chopping it a thousand times.

"Gyogegegegee yee yee!!

Cocatrice spits out the petrified braces without hesitation as she screams. In no time, the surroundings are covered with grey smoke and Colo and Run rush to distance themselves from Cocatrice as they remain caught in the impending petrified braces.

The shadow of the 'shadow bind' that had restrained the cocatrice disappeared, either intentionally or by chance, by wearing it with a petrified brace.

"Wow! I'm gonna run away ~"

"Lena, we've got plenty of time."

Cocatrice flies high as she flees from the Ninas. But far above Cocatrice, Lena waited all the time.

"... leave it to your sister"

Marifa, who didn't miss hearing Lena whine on the ground, was making a scene about "who's too big a sister," but unfortunately Lena's ears aren't as good as Marifa's.

By the massive bleeding flowing out of his neck, he vomits a petrified brace without any problem as he refluxes toward Lena, where the half-hearted cocatrice is above him. Release "Stonelance", the third floor of black magic, which was also ready for opposing Lena, facing down. That number, exceeded a hundred.

A stone spear wrapped around the intent to kill pours down on Cocatrice. 'Stone Lance' comes into contact with the ash smoke of the petrified brace, but has no effect on 'Stone Lance', originally composed of stone. Ningro Petrochemical braces increase the weight and power of "Stone Lance", resulting in stone spears of more than one meter piercing the body of Cocatrice one after the other. Cocatrice, who is skewered and falls through his body, is like a sword mountain.

"What an attack. I almost got skewered!

Lena's massive attack magic had pierced the earth with a good number of stone spears.

"Mari, it looks like Mr. Bird is still alive ~"

"Lena's still sweet on the stuffing too"

Marifa activates Screw Blast (Rubber) on the third floor of Tree Spirit Magic in order to stab Cocatrice in the stomach. More spiral tree trees grow than the earth, piercing from the mouth to the anus of Cocatrice, where multiple branches spirally intertwined tree spears fall.

"Awesome! Mari, you did it!

"Not yet."

'Spiral explosion' This is where this magical horror came from. Spirally intertwined branches explode, unraveling and expanding in momentum. The blood and flesh of Cocatrice, torn apart more forcefully than in the body, pours rain mixed with purple blood and organs.

Leaving room for Nina and Marifa avoiding the rain, Colo and Run run into the rain to compete. Eventually, Lan will find what he is looking for, the magic balls of Cocatrice. A complete demon ball was obtained from the famous Cocatrice, and the Run, who held the demon ball, delivered the demon ball to Marifa in a relaxed walk. Colo roars remorsefully as he watches it.

"Run, well found"

Run, praised by Marifa, could stroke his jaw naturally. It was just an attitude, but his tail stood peened and he could not hide his joy.

"Master, this way. Perhaps the demon ball of the Lord in the deepest part of the Cage of Demon Birds."

Marifa kneeling before Yu and offering her demon balls, behind which Nina and Lena were expressing their dissatisfaction.

"Ah, ah! Mari, it's sloppy. We took them all down."

"... what a sister"

Marifa realizes, however, that Yu's reaction is not fragrant.

"Master, what's wrong?

"Oh, yeah. Cockatrice material."

Cocatrice, that's famous too. Blood is decorated in the material of the potion that cures petrification, and the blades are decorated from arrow feathers to protective equipment. The mouth can also be a weapon material. I mean, it's a precious demon with nowhere to throw it away, but Marifa's tree spirit magic had made Cocatrice's body a piece of wood dust, and much of the material was useless.

"... no sister. But your sister will forgive you, won't she?

"Damn. Lena, you shouldn't be too well."

"... Marifa has made the Cocatrice material go bad"

"Gu...... Huh! I'm sorry, sir."

"No, I don't care about the material and get hurt. I don't care anymore. And... Nina, what's wrong?

"Eh. Looks like Colo and Ran are going to rank up."

Just like before when Colo and Sucke ranked up in The Labyrinth of the Demon Garden, Colo and Run's bodies glow and eventually the light covers their entire bodies. When the light went out, Colo's bright black body hair had a flaming pattern, and the run was darker and more like lightning with a cloudy golden part of the pattern.

"A golden cloud leopard on a demonic firewolf? Good for you."

To Yu's words Lan answers with his tail tangled in his leg, but Colo seemed somewhat unintelligible as to whether he didn't care that Lan also ranked up at the same time.

A group of about ten people was running about thirty kilometers southwest of where the Yus were.

"Hurry! It's coming right behind you!!

"I know! Is Ali and Luli following you?

"No, you can't. Hyenabad caught me!!

"Fuck off! Everybody, stop! The only way we're gonna survive is if we kill him.

A group that was being chased by a flock of hyenabirds about three or four metres long decided that any further escape would only consume their health in vain, taking their weapons and heading for the flock of hyenabirds. One Hyenabad hook claw had a sister named Ali and Luli captured as his companions. Fortunately, he still seemed to have breath, but Hyenabad's hook and nail broke through his protective gear and he was eating into his body. A lot of blood was flowing.

"Haime, maybe one. Do all these Hyenabad herd opponents have a chance of winning?

"If I had a chance, I wouldn't have run away! But there's just more sacrifice than that. Then we'll have to kill them before they kill us all!

I guess a guy called Haime is the leader of a bunch. No one objected to Haime's words. Everyone knew. He said if we didn't fight here, it would just be a strangulation. Hyenabad is a monster hunting in herds, but he had the habit of thoroughly weakening his prey before he could be held hostage.

"Whoa!!

"Eat it!!

"The power of the wind, gather the blade in my hand, slay and tear the enemy apart!" Windblade "!!

The Hymes magically attack swords and bows, but were not satisfactorily damaged by Hyenabad's tough feathers. In the meantime, one by one, my buddies gets hurt by Hyenabad's hook and nail. Upon realizing it, everyone, including the leader Haime, was in a state of full creativity.

"also... no more, da, no more"

"Aki...... don't give up! You can't die here!!

The Hyena Birds, who decide they have no power to resist prey, strike the Hymes simultaneously. I even thought it was over.

The Hyenabirds simultaneously stopped the movement.

".................. what happened!?

From Hyenabad, who was attacking the Hymes, to Hyenabad, who was vigilant around him whirling through the sky, one after the other fell to the ground, never moving as it was again.

The hymes couldn't hide their surprise at the sudden events, but one of them standing in the center of Hyenabad's body, no. It's too tough to call a person. The undead is in the air - Russ stood. And on Russ's side are the sisters of Ali and Luli, who were captured by Hyenabad. The Heimes didn't notice, but the sisters had already been treated by Russ's white magic.

"Heh... what are you! What can I do for you?

It was a fortifying hyme, but I couldn't contain the fear I felt from Russ. That was the case with the rest of us, who could not even shut their mouths satisfactorily by the tremors that struck their entire bodies.

"It's this one who asks questions. Shall I have all the tablets I have (...) out?"

Around the lass were tablets that had been pulled out of Ali and Luli's item pouch.

"This guy, you stole Ali and Luli's tablet! Give it back!

"Stop!! Do what he says."

I sincerely thanked Hime for everyone controlling the man. Because Russ's whiteboned left hand was gripped with various demon balls, large and small, and there were countless demon balls drifting around as well as tablets. How much did you kill the Demon Bird Cage demon? The Heimes felt their strength just as they were confronting each other, as their spirit was being shredded.

Whoever is in Haime's words pulls the tablet out of the bag that was lowered from his shoulder, and some take it out of the item pouch and stack it in front of the lass. Adventurers may collect tablets when exploring the labyrinth, but that is only when there is room in the item pouch or bag. The number of tablets put out by the highmes was an impossible number for the adventurers to say they had collected.

Russ goes through every single thing written on the tablet. And accidentally murmured the words.

"'Buried People (...)'"

"Oh my god. What are you gonna do with us?

"Stay! I've heard it a long time ago. We're the Buried People... No, who are you?

Russ pierces silence at Haime's inquiry. When Russ set up the scepter, Haime and the others set themselves up, but the wounds of the full creation healed instantly. When I found out that it was the fourth floor of White Magic, High Heel Ink Leash, that activated it, my doubts about Russ deepened.

"I have exterminated the demons around here. It will be fine for a while. As soon as you're done installing the tablet, go home."

"Wait! Answer my question!

"Go back and tell your compatriots. Our (...) time for revenge is near."

Rath left the spot unanswered until the end of the day.
