"Pendant appraisal results, we're out."
It was Mr. Diola's words, as Toya expected, that greeted us visiting the Alliance.
Mr. Diola puts the pendant we left on the counter and goes on with the words.
"This was a pretty powerful anti-demon pendant"
"Does antidemons mean you can prevent magic?
"Prevent, or weaken, right? If it's going to be sold, you can get a pretty good price..."
"Uh-huh..."
"What do you want to do?" We shook our heads thinking a little bit about Diora.
"You should have it. Given safety."
If "Life Matters" comes from us in the basic policy, some money and the safety of our people will not be on the same scale. Even if I were to cut my life off, I wouldn't have a choice to sell it.
"Is that still true? And then, just a precaution, the anti-demonic effect will be covered by all magic. Please note that assisted magic and healing magic are equally weakened."
"... oh, isn't it just attack magic?
Hulka thought for a moment about Mr. Diola's words and nodded as he was immediately convinced.
"Right. So far, we haven't found anything convenient like that."
Just as attack magic normally involves allies, so does magic prop. It doesn't seem to distinguish between magic used by allies or magic used by enemies.
Unless the magic itself can incorporate even enemy ally identification signals... well, it wouldn't be realistically possible.
Those who can make their own antidemonic props, and use magic, are also required to have a high level of skill.
It is absolutely easier to change the way you operate if you are going to do such an advanced thing.
By the way, we have a skill called [Magic Barrier], but this isn't entirely selective either.
Recovery magic normally works too if you're going to accept it, but if you're not thinking about it, it increases resistance slightly, and if you're going to reject it, it's harder to hang.
Is the difference with the antidemonic magic props where you can switch quickly at your will?
However, we need to be a little careful because we can't resist the attack magic from the front and accept the recovery magic from behind, what a clever thing - at least not as it stands.
Speaking of how hard it is...... the front of the body puts a lot of effort into staying nervous and the back muscles relax, like?
Maybe someone like a master of physical surgery can do it, but, well, maybe we can't.
"For once, there are antidemonic magic props that specialize in certain attributes, such as weakening fire magic in particular, so if you say so, healing magic has little effect -"
"Ineffective when attacked by another attribute?
"Yes. That said, fire magic is commonly used for attacks, so fire attribute anti-demon magic props are traded especially at high prices,"
Our main attack magic is Fire Arrow or something.
Even wind, soil and water systems get enough offense these days, but it's still a habit there.
However, lately, I've been thinking about the future, trying to kill enemies other than fire magic.
Should I say convenient, because we have weak enemies coming out in the dungeon.
"One more thing, the weakness, or characteristic, of the antidemonic magic props... contact and use of magic doesn't work"
"... I mean, if you hold hands directly and use healing magic, you're not affected by magic props?
"Yes, but this is the same as attack magic, so it's dangerous to have enemies who come into contact and use magic. - Especially if it comes into contact, it's dangerous as a pre-magic problem."
"If you touch it with your hands, don't stab it with a knife, rather than with magic."
I shrug my shoulders and Toya smiles bitterly.
In fact, it's not easy to play melee while using magic.
It's not impossible because we train like that, too, to make more trouble, but it would be rather difficult to make contact and say if we can use attack magic.
Especially fire magic. If you suck, it can be suicide bombing.
If the healing magic of the Hulkas improves dramatically, there may be a tactic of 'letting them cut meat and break bones' in case, but even if they just lose their fingers that it's 'regenerating' the status quo, it's not easy to cure.
"The question is who will use it... Toya, do you want to use it?
"Me? Either way, you're nuts. Consider your strength."
When attacking magic is used, the avant-garde or the rear guard, which is easier to avoid, would naturally be the rear guard at a distance if the difference in physical abilities is not taken into account.
And in our case, except for Toya, there's no big difference in physical ability.
"And that pendant, me or Natsuki, which one do you think looks better?
You don't have to answer that.
"Right?"
If one more thing is added, it is also possible to heal yourself if you are injured if you are a nutcase.
In that case, it is magic that you apply to yourself, so there is no effect of the anti-demon pendant.
"See you, Natsuki."
"Is that good?
When I took the pendant and offered it to Natsuki, she glanced a little reluctantly at Haruka and Yuki, but neither of them snorted with any particular objection.
"I knew Natsuki was out front."
"In the unlikely event that the magic of the abnormal system is hung, it is reasonable."
"I understand. Thank you then...... because of this, Nao, will you put it on?
"Me? Well, good."
"Wait a minute."
Haruka grabbed Gasili for my hand in trying to pull back the pendant he was offering.
"Oh, what's up?
"I gave up my pendant, but what about that? I wonder?"
Natsuki smiles like a prank at Hulka with a slightly drawn grin.
"Heh heh, so, Halka, will you put it on?
"Damn... I can't help it."
Halka, who took the pendant a little hard from my hand, turns behind the nuts and puts a pendant on its neck.
No, it's nothing good... my arm that was grabbed by Hulka is a little sore.
"Hmm...... Mr. Nao, how hard is it?
"... about what?
"Well, take care of things. Relationships within a party, that's important, right?
"Thank you for your advice"
I don't think Natsuki is that serious, so maybe there's no problem... no problem, right?
Somewhat reluctantly answered me, Mr. Diola smiled a little bit and changed her story.
"So, you guys were going to the dungeon, right? How'd it go?
"That was a bad idea. I found about 10 chests..."
That being said, Toya lined up on the counter, including potions and ingots found from the crate. I haven't defeated the bossy stuff this time, so I don't have enough to ask for an appraisal.
Even as Mr. Diola, I probably figured that out at a glance, but after taking one by one and checking, I got a troubled look on my face.
"Sounds like you were sorry this time. Do you want to buy it out?
"This time, or basically an unfortunate dungeon, but over there. Please buy it."
"Okay."
We had other demon stones and materials bought together, and in total it was us who received hundreds or so of gold coins... but it's just a lot of money.
I can make more money in a day in the winter.
- No, I have a sense of being a little extravagant.
◇ ◇ ◇
After about three days of rest, we went to the dungeon again.
This time, I left Mary and the others saying, "It may be a little longer" and "Don't hesitate to eat the dishes in the vault," so depending on the situation, I plan to dive longer.
No matter how many demons you ignore and keep running, by the fourth tier, you'll need about two days to get there.
If we don't dive long in this, we won't be able to take time to explore.
Given that, I would be very grateful to have the magic formation for return at the end of the two levels, but if I were to say luxury, I would like a magic formation at the entrance that can travel to the desired hierarchy.
If the dungeon's hierarchy overlaps beautifully up and down, you can skip it on Area Transfer, Area Teleportation, but it's off to the side, this is it.
Of course, there are some overlapping parts, but with the location of the stairs to the three floors and the entrance to the dungeon, as far as the map is concerned, it is about 5 km away at a straight distance.
Even at that distance, I manage to sense the transfer point, but at present, it doesn't feel that the transfer can be carried out to such an extent that the distance can be measured.
However, I feel like looking at Yuki's made maps and the top and bottom positions are quite overlapping as far as the 3 and 4 layers are concerned, so I'm hoping that if I'm good, I might be able to shorten my travel time.
Day 2 I came as far as 4 layers of unexplored areas like that.
Within that day, we collected about two crates and proceeded to five layers, and those five layers were just filled with obvious maps, and Yuki roars as she shows us that map.
"Um, maybe, but looks like there's a boss ahead?
"Why... oh, somehow, that's not the arrangement"
I'm only really under the impression that there's going to be a boss room on the map.
Besides, it's about three layers down from the last boss, so maybe it fits when it's not weird to have bossy enemies.
"But it's a little short interval, isn't it? The book said five or ten layers."
"Often, right? Sometimes it's not there, so sometimes it's short."
Some of the books we've bought include multiple books about dungeons, according to which the dungeons are placed with powerful enemies at every level, so that we can't move on without killing them.
That interval is often every 10 tiers. Occasionally every 5 tiers. There don't seem to be many other cases, but 'not many' just seems to exist.
In the case of here, suddenly there's a bossy Tyrant Pickaw on the second level, and does that mean an exception?
By the way, just like we're ducking Tyrant Pickaw, we can't do it barely because we shot him once, and even if we never did, we can usually get through if we're not back together then.
We can't proceed without killing the boss, but we don't necessarily have to kill ourselves.
"If there's a boss, what do you think it is?
"Thinking about Piccaw, is it Tyrant Goblin?
Yes, I don't dare to talk about it because I haven't even had a great deal of difficulty, but it was actually a whole goblin floor, from these three to five layers.
There aren't many normal goblins out there, but all the goblin subspecies appeared anyway, including Goblin Scouts, Goblin Fighters, Goblin Archers, and Goblin Leaders.
It's just a bunch of miscellaneous fish from us, but it's ideal for combat training in a way, as they party and attack us in multiple occupations around the bend.
Note that Goblin Leader is the strongest enemy.
General, King, they didn't come out. I didn't come out...
"If you think about it normally, the boss is King. Isn't there a chance he's gonna come out with a general or something?
If Tyrant, or 'tyrant', comes out, it's not strange that a normal 'king' comes out.
Because while this is all the goblins out there, there's still no King out there.
"No, that's just how tough King is, isn't it? When you think about orcs, King is more than 10,000, right?
"That was hypothetical, wasn't it? I don't think you're wrong."
"So, Captain, or if it's bad, maybe General?
I just argued, for example, that I couldn't possibly get an answer.
We'll be ready and stand in front of the door.
The lead is Toya. One nod back at us and we open the door all at once.
"-! Captain 2, General 1! Kill the right!
"I'm going left!
That's what Toya screams when she sees inside the room and moves out instantly.
At about the same time, Natsuki also runs out.
As Toya screamed, there were three goblins in the room.
All of them are in better shape and have weapons in their hands than regular goblins.
One of them draws a line in the center, and the weapon in his hand is also a slightly larger sword with left and right goblins being rusty swords, while leaving a metallic glow.
Needless to say, he must be the Goblin General.
"" "" Fire Arrow "!
The magic flew almost simultaneously.
Three flaming arrows head for Goblin General.
Speed precedence over number.
Goblin General is pierced by three arrows reached instantly - the next moment I thought, the sword held by General is sharply swung through and one of the flaming arrows is extinguished.
but that was it.
There are 3 arrows unleashed. I just cut one off and can't deal with the two arrows that arrive with no time difference.
One drops its arm across its shoulder and the other erases about a third of its face.
It should be said naturally, there is no way that he can live in that state, and Goblin General falls to the forehead and ceases to move while in that position he has swung through his sword.
Without putting it almost between them, Toya confronted Goblin Captain, who was crushed in the head, Natsuki cut off his neck and the battle ended lightly.
