Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

What you see right now is the Hell Light that you may have noticed here.Because there is no face, I don't even know if it is facing this way.

But it doesn't matter, we have to do it now.

The magic team at hand glows blue.

Turner and I used advanced water magic, Aquaground.Promerte uses its backward-compatible Aquafield.

Originally, it is magical in the range that activates the effect against the ground, but by designating it in the air, a large amount of water is generated, and it will fall downwards at once.

As the bulk of the generated water falls simultaneously toward the Herculite below, air resistance and surface tension cause the combined water to break apart in detail.

So far, so expected.

It may be said that it would have been better to deploy water magic to directly wrap the hero lights, but if the hero lights were completely trapped in the water, it would take time for everything to freeze.In contrast, the finer the water, the shorter the time it takes for each to solidify inside.This will give the Coldfield effect to the Hell Light more quickly.

The balls I gave Donnate and the others were mixed up in the falling water.

Because it is a difficult distance to target the hero light on the boulder, it was appropriately scattered.You don't have to hit all the balls you throw.If some of them are hit, then the conditions can be achieved.

Water magic alone is enough water, but it doesn't make much sense to freeze the falling water droplets,

So, here comes the polka dots. The balls of crystal are thrown, and the water releases vigorously around them.Then, only for a short time, there is a water bridge that connects the heralds to each other.If you activate Coldfield for that moment, nearly a dozen Hell Lights will freeze as one bundle.

With water magic, the whole body of the hero lights gets wet like rain, so the hero lights themselves should freeze.

Bashh, bashh, bashh!

Moisture is ejected from the dropped polka dots, and the water bridge hangs like a complex silk lining.

Because only about three times the volume of water is released, it's less than expected, but... it's not bad.

They have noticed our attack, and a magical formation is drawn in front of the Hell Lights.Advanced Magic Faction.

If advanced magic is released simultaneously from nearly a dozen hero lights, the scaffolding that was created simply will melt in an instant.

I begin to prepare for the magic of the Holy Spirit.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

You hear a sound like your usual tinnitus.

"Here it is!"

When Nil exercises his magic, the magic team glows pale.

Bucky! Bucky!

A well-timed cold field freezes the hero lights and surrounding water as expected.

Preparing for the magic of the Holy Spirit...

After the Hell Lights froze, all the magical formations depicted disappeared.

Looks like we got the Hell Lights trapped.

The fluffy, floating hero lights freeze your body and slowly pull it down to gravity.

"Seems to have succeeded..."

"The disappearance of the magic circle means that at least when it was frozen, you couldn't exercise your magic."

"Probably. Ice magic may have been a weakness."

The question is, did you kill him...

We all peek down, but we don't know if he's dead or not. But...

Gasiaaaan.....

If something happens, everyone peeks silently, and the ice cracks from below.

Right now!

Tana asks Petro happily.

"Yeah, definitely the bottom.Almost there, I think we're finally getting to a firm foot. "

"Almost there... it sounded pretty good, didn't it?"

"If you think about the journey, you're almost there, right?"

"Well... I guess so."

Donnathe looks up, and everyone who is caught looks up.

The sky is already about the size of a bean grain and can be seen from the entrance and exit.

I don't even know how far down... I can feel it anymore.

"This area could be Hell Light territory, so let's head downstairs.

If we get to the bottom, we'll be able to take a break. "

If you go to the bottom, you may see new monsters and get into trouble, but it's dangerous to be in Hell Light territory.If both are dangerous, at least it is better where there is no risk of falling.

I dared to use the word "break" because it would be easier.Rather than thinking that you are heading to an unpleasant place, if you think that you are moving now to take a break, then your strength will also spring up.

Is Tana still okay with her magic?

"I'm still fine. You can still fight at least a few fights."

"Everyone, including me, is starting to get a little tired, but let's go downstairs at once.Once you get down there, you can dig a hole in the wall or floor and close it, and you'll be able to take a break. "

Tell yourself to step on one more step and focus on the arm holding the rope.

After dropping the Hell Light, a slightly lower ranking monster appeared, but instead of the number of things, I quickly knocked it down and headed downward.

"Guys, it's time to see the bottom."

Petro's words made him feel a little lighter, slightly faster down.

I see it!

When Tana said happy, she saw the bottom of the crack in my eyes.

It is a bottom surface that is not a rough plane, and I can't walk, but it looks like a difficult terrain.

"I dare to go down."

"... no! Wait a minute!"

I know what it feels like to be at the bottom of your eyes.I'd like to go down and take a breath right now...

"Don't you think that's funny?"

"What happened?"

"There are no monster carcasses."

When I light the bottom, I see things like blood and flesh fragments, but there are no remains of the monsters that have been defeated so far.

Especially since Cave Bat's carcass is supposed to have fallen off quite a few times, and I can't see the hero lights that were supposed to have frozen and dropped earlier.

I can see the trail that would have fallen off the Hell Light.But I can't see anything that looks like a carcass.

"Something happened, and they took the carcasses?"

"If it didn't evaporate naturally, there must be something that took the carcass."

Petro, can you hear me?

"Yeah, I can't hear anything in particular."

"It's been a long time since the carcass fell, and it's possible he's gone... but it's not going to be that convenient.

Let's assume there's something going on. "

"I came right in front of you..."

"Let's start by building a scaffold around here.

It's a height that won't kill you if you fall, so you'll be able to take a breath. "

I'm a little worried about the monster the opponent is flying or jumping, but if it's such a monster, it doesn't matter if the height has changed slightly.

"If we know what's in there, we can put in place a countermeasure, so let's take a break while keeping an eye on the bottom."

"Having come this far and finally taking a break in a high place... I can't help it, but I'd like to say something resentful to the monsters."

Promerte stares at the bottom of the crack illuminated by light.

I understand that it is really disgusting to be unable to reach the place I was aiming for before my eyes.You'll have no choice but to be frustrated.

In order to restore health and magic, I took a break alternately and glanced at the bottom, but in the end, there was no sound and there was no sign of anything.

After the break, looking at the bottom again, we decided to discuss our future actions.

Whether the agenda goes down to the bottom or not.

Me, Nil, Turner, and Donnate are against going down to the bottom.Promerte, Petro and Saddle disagreed.

Donatee is the leader of Eagle Crowe, basically in the form of him putting things together and following them all, but in rare cases, his opinions don't agree and he develops into discussions.

"Even if there's something, you don't know that you're not going down there?"

"I think we should go carefully here because if we get all blocked up when we get down, we can destroy them all on the spot.

That disgusting monster was an unknown monster, and there are plenty of other monsters we don't know. "

"That said, if you keep going at this height, how much magic is not enough?"

"I don't think it's necessary to step on it even though everyone doesn't feel the signs, not just the claws."

Conversations go and go, and you can't see the exit.

Wow ~ As we were talking, Turna, who had been silent for a long time, opened her mouth.

"I... think the unknown is more dangerous than anything."

It was usually a fluffy and loose type of turna, but only then did I talk to everyone with a serious face and voice.

"When I was waiting for everyone in that forest, I resented my ignorance.

If you knew, yeah.If I had wanted to know, I wouldn't have been distracted.

I think it takes courage to jump into danger, but it is not courage to fear the unknown, but recklessness.

I don't want to feel like that again, and I don't want you to. "

Turner puts her hand on her hat.

"... yes, Tana is right."

"Atashi and the others were wrong.I certainly don't want to feel that way again.

We should go carefully here. "

"I admit my mistakes. I felt a little rushed."

Honestly, I didn't think it would settle down in the end.It's impossible for an adventurer who mistakes courage and recklessness to rise to S rank.

Perfect darkness, the presence of unspoken monsters, fatigue down long distances of vertical walls, a break in tension that something may be nearby.When things overlap and people are mentally cornered, people blunt their judgments and sometimes make mistakes.

However, Eagle Crowe has been able to overcome this crisis many times before.I wasn't worried because I thought we'd solve it without saying anything.

Me and Nil...

Sadly, I'm used to this kind of situation, both naturally and in the combat experience so far, so I don't have to lose much calm.

I'm used to situations I don't want to get used to.

Perhaps it would be a pleasure if we could get out of the death crisis...

"I have to think a little bit more about my behavior of being taught by Tana..."

"Ah! Promerte! That's terrible!"

"Fufufu. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Thank you for calming me down.I'll be careful from now on. "

"I can't help it. I'll forgive you!"

"Fufufu, thank you."

Even if we have an argument, the air doesn't get worse and it doesn't feel like it stings.The atmosphere is characteristic of those who have been partying for a long time.

"I've decided on a policy... but I can't keep building scaffolds in the future... and I wonder what's going on."

"Why don't you throw something?"

"Hmm... that may not make sense. Here."

Petro raises a lantern and points to something that is falling in the bottom corner.

"Is that... the Shinya item you just threw?"

It's cracked and bumpy, but I can see some of the balls are falling.

It must have fallen with the Hell Light.Probably fell near the carcass, but it's all gathered at the bottom.

"You don't think it fell so neatly, do you?"

"Did you take the carcass, or did you bring something unnecessary to the edge?"

"Maybe."

"The reason I brought the carcass is because of the meal… I eliminated something unrelated to it.If you think so, at least you have the intelligence of an animal... "

"At least, it doesn't seem to be an unintelligent type... does that have anything to do with Petro not being found?"

"What are you doing to get rid of the signs?"

"There are types of insects that do pseudo-things, and if they have intelligence, I think they will hide.

Looking at it from above, I don't know anything other than a rough terrain, so I wouldn't even notice it if it was a pseudo-state. "

"The only thing I can hear is the sounds that accompany my movements, so if I don't move or hide behind, I won't notice the boulders."

Eagle Crowe's five people gather their opinions one after the other and follow the path of guesswork.

"If we don't know what kind of monster he is and where he is hiding, we won't be able to plan a countermeasure..."

"Well... I'm pretty sure there aren't any carcasses of monsters, and they're gathering carcasses for food, for other purposes, or greed.

So if you throw the remains of the monsters in my inventory down, they'll react? "

"Ah! That's it! Sinya had an inventory!I completely forgot because I can't use it! "

"Sure enough, there were some monster carcasses in the inventory.I wonder if you'll let me use it. "

"Most of the monsters I killed are in my inventory.Besides the monsters you defeated here, there's a lot of them... If you want to be sure, why don't you defeat them here and use the monsters they'll have taken away from you? "

"What I said was, could I use something that I could sell as a material..."

It seems that I received the meaning of Promerte's words by mistake.

"Oh... is that so? There is no problem at all.

It won't be a lot of money. "

"Big forehead... I don't know about Cave Bat, but I think it would be worth a fortune if it were used as a material for an unknown monster... I might faint if I found out what's in Sinya's inventory."

"I don't think so... do you see any?"

"I'll stop. My values are about to collapse."

It was categorically rejected.

"If so, I'd like to move quickly.May I ask you a favor? "

"Leave it to me."

I'll open the inventory and retrieve the body of the Cave Bat I just knocked out.

It came out from an individual whose neck had been removed beautifully, and because there was no blood drainage, blood came out from the cut neck at the same time as it came out.

"Let's do it."

Grabbing the legs of Cave Bat's dead body, Saddle uses his strength to throw it into the bottom of the crack.

Dotcha!

A vivid sound echoes around, and the carcass of the illuminated Cave Bat lies unconventionally on the bumpy bottom.

I don't think there are any creatures coming out... but I don't need to conclude right away.So, I've been watching for a while...

Oops.....

"What...? The ground didn't move right now?"

"That's what I looked like..."

Shit. Shit.

I knew it!

As Petro says, the ground looks moving.

To be precise, there is a thick, cobbled rock covering the ground, not the ground.

"But, are they all monsters?!"

While Petro was surprised, the nearby cobbled rocks moved and gathered around the fallen carcasses.

At the very least, almost all the cobbled rocks in the area that can be seen by the light are moving.

"Are you really glad you listened to Turner?"

"Ugh... I won't be able to answer Tana again..."

"I can understand how shallow I was when I thought I was stuck inside..."

"But... what the hell is that monster?"

"I know. That's probably rock mic."

Promerte groans at the moving rock.

"Rock Mick? You're a monster I've never heard of."

"It's a rare monster, so I don't know much about it.I've never actually seen it before.

Senpai, I've heard of adventurers before.It's a monster that eats the surrounding rocks, wraps them around its surface, and blends into the surrounding landscape.I'm sure it's an A-rank monster.

It has an omnivorous appetite that eats even rotten carcasses.I heard you were in a crowd and didn't leave any bones. "

"As far as that explanation goes, there's no doubt about it."

"Some of the surrounding formations seem to become monsters that don't fit in A rank because they change to a surface similar to the rocks they eat."

"I don't like the nature..."

"Thankfully, I don't fly or jump, so if there's so much distance, I don't think I'm going to do anything... be careful because I use earth magic."

"I don't want to deal with that number..."

As far as I can see, there are dozens of them.Including the number of people lurking in the dark, it's definitely a few hundred.I don't want to imagine a future where people come down and gather.

"This deep formation should be eating pretty hard rocks, so it won't be easy to slash."

If you knock on the wall near you, you hear a hard sound.

I don't think you can slay Shimizu sword and War Hua, but there is no advantage in daring to penetrate.

"What do you want to do? That's why it's hard to carry a scaffold along."

"If we can't get down... Hülina's care will be very helpful."

I'll retrieve Hulina's items from the inventory.

Unlike simply going down the wall, he has prepared a variety of things with his eyes thinking about moving laterally.

For example, it's like a pile that sticks into a wall, or a tool that holds the rope in place.
