"I'm feeling better now, and it's okay to go out in front of me."

Petro offers to step forward for his enemies, but...

"No, this intricate terrain doesn't mean much to Petro's enemies.I don't see anything when I know it's there.I'm more afraid of being attacked by a sudden appearance in front of me.If so, the opponent is Beta Ten and Nine, so we absolutely need Saddle's power to stop that attack. "

"If you suddenly come out in front of me, you may not be able to deal with it.All right, I'll just figure out what's around me. "

"Oh, please."

Petro's ability to search for enemies has been very helpful since he went underground.I will rely on you until the end, but there is no need to be at the front.

With Saddle at the forefront, we move on to the intricate terrain.

It's not a maze, it's just that there are countless gray and black crystal pillars standing there.I don't get lost, but my vision is slightly worse.

Walk around and reach the back wall about a kilometer, as Petro told you.

"It's a dead end here."

"It looks like there aren't any monsters in here."

"I'm glad the monsters aren't here, but I don't see any beta."

"I see... did you come here?"

"There were traces earlier, so I'm pretty sure you're here."

After escaping from Aytovarus and getting inside, I found some beta traces.There's no doubt he passed through here.

Intercept Aytovarus and Beta! It was lucky that it didn't happen.Aitvarus is not interested in beta, but that is not an absolute reason why Aitvarus will not attack beta.

I'm afraid you'll get caught attacking us, and if you blow it off with that giant body, no matter how hard the beta body is, you won't be safe.

In that case, you should think that Beta's aim was to escape the chaser by using the presence of Aytovarus rather than asking for help...

And the key beta, I know it went through this place, but I don't know where it went.

I tried not to overlook it, but I came to the opposite wall without looking at Beta.

"Did you miss a hole or something?"

"It's such a complicated terrain... it's no wonder you overlooked it."

"Would you like to call me back and check again?"

……………………

Master?

Everyone was trying to wrap up the story by turning back, and I stared at the wall.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No... do you feel anything strange about this wall?"

"What's weird...?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable..."

Everyone will look at the wall again in my words. [M]

"Nothing... ordinary gray and black crystals?"

"Well, I don't think there's anything weird about me either."

"Isn't that why you're here?"

"Hmm......"

When everyone says that, I feel like it's not weird... but I still get hooked on something.

If we don't find out who this uncomfortable feeling is, we can't concentrate even if we go back and look around again.

It looks exactly like the surrounding gray and black crystals.There's nothing strange about it. The colors are the same, and the vertical bands are the same.

In other words, the gray black crystal itself does not have a sense of discomfort.

So... when you look at the big concept of walls, do you feel uncomfortable...?

I knew everyone was making me wait.Still, everybody didn't say anything like, "Let's go quickly."

Ning, because I care so much, if there must be something, you'll care about it again.

"............ ah! I see!"

"What?! What did you find out?!"

Someday, everybody was tilting their necks in front of the wall, and Petro jumped at me.

"This wall. Why is it so flat?"

"Let's see... is that true...?"

Promerte cannot say with confidence that there are irregularities and protrusions that are similar to other walls.

Unlike other walls, however, when you look at the whole wall, it stands almost in a straight line.

The other walls are skewed and bent as they come out and pull in.It looks like it was deliberately partitioned here.

That's the kind of wall. I was told that maybe so, but when I noticed it, I couldn't wipe the discomfort.

"Master! Why don't you take a look at that item?!"

"Ah! The Ring of Truth!"

I will immediately retrieve the Truth Ring from the Inventory that I obtained from the Event Rewards.

A ring that ignores visual camouflage by magic.

Wearing the Ring of Truth that I took out...

"Hmm? Nothing in particular... ah!There! There's a hole! "

The front wall that I cared about.After wearing the ring of truth, there was no change in the wall.I found out the identity of the discomfort and thought there would definitely be something, but there was nothing.

I was disappointed that it was my mistake, and when I turned my eyes away, there were holes in the side wall that allowed one person who had not been seen before to pass through.

If you think about it, it's only natural.Anyone who becomes aware of a discomfort will look at the wall that is the source of the discomfort.There's a trick there, so it's easy to break through.

However, if you look behind it and put a trick on the naturally made wall, the attention will go to the front wall, making it difficult to find it, and if there is nothing to investigate, people will think that there is nothing there.

It's a good camouflage.

But...

"This is... magic, right?"

"I'm sure it's magic."

"Beta can't use magic... right?"

"My whole body is made of materials for magic specialization.Even if I try to use it, I think it will spray quickly. "

"I mean...."

"There's something here besides us and Beta."

"Besides, if you're going to be able to make a trick like this, maybe... people.Or a monster with a similar intelligence.

If you become such an intelligent monster, you will become quite a powerful monster, and I think you are probably an SS ranked monster.But if it's such a dangerous opponent, there's no need to make such a clogged scheme. "

"If you become an SS ranked monster, it's a natural disaster class.All the monsters in this cave, including Aytovarus, can be twisted with one hand. "

In fact, if Heavenly Fox and Ricca came here, all the monsters would be desperate to get off the ground.To protect my life.

However, not doing so means that the line that there are SS ranked monsters is extremely thin.

"If you think about erasure, people... do you think there are people in places like this?"

Until now, everything was a large cave made naturally, and there were no traces of people being found, so there was no idea of people being there.

If the five Eagle Crow hadn't lied, this underground cave would have been unprecedented.In fact, there were many strange monsters in this big underground cave.That would be evidence of unprecedented arrival.

That's... something that looks like a human trail came out of here.

"Shouldn't we discuss the fact that we actually found traces of it, rather than whether we think it exists?"

"Donnate's right.

If someone were to be in a place like this, they would definitely not be a bum. "

"Well, why aren't you surprised?"

"What are you talking about?There are people on the side who look like amazing chunks, but I'm not going to let this happen anymore. "

Everyone will see me.

A chunk of surprise seems to mean me...

I'm surprised that there are people...?

"Solution..."

I accidentally put it in my mouth.

"The problem is not that there is a person here, but that person is an enemy or an ally."

"You don't want others to find you because you're using this kind of magic."

When Promerte touches the tip of an arrow on my exposed wall, something like a ripple spreads over the wall, and only the camouflage shakes.

"The reason why people don't want to be found by others is largely clear."

Somebody's after me for something.He hides something bad when he finds something.There are a few possible, but none of them are largely for any reason.

Well, there are more problems.

At the tip of Promerte's finger, there are traces of beta.It is not obvious that traces lead into the camouflaged wall, but if there is a beta around here, it is likely that it entered the camouflage.

Because camouflage is also magical, it doesn't work for beta... or does camouflage mean anything because beta doesn't have vision in the first place?

I don't know if Beta came here by chance or by chance, but she's right to think of the former from the perspective of the undisputed movement.

When that happens, we thought Beta cried to Aitvarus, but it was incidental and meant that she cried to someone who would have been ahead.

The mechanical existence of Beta is more reliable than that of Aytovarus… so it seems better to keep your mind tight and move forward.

"Sinya, when this job is done, I'll have to take a lot of rewards from Grandma Arten?"

"That's true."

I was supposed to ask only for Beta, but in the meantime, where are we going with the underground maze, the underground caves, the unidentified monsters, the worms, the Aytovarus... the original plans?

I feel like I want to get it from the store.

Nevertheless, we can't come this far and turn back.

"Shall we go...?"

"We have to go, right?"

"Isn't that right..."

I don't want to go, but I have to go... How many times have I felt like this since I got off the crack...

While checking for anything like a trap, proceed to the front of the wall cam collage.

It's like a camouflage made of something like shadows, and it doesn't feel like it's touched.

As you carefully enter, the narrow passage continues to bend.

It appears to be connected to the back of a partition wall.

As you slowly advance your feet, you'll see light from the back of the aisle.

Most monsters in this world don't use light.

Even though the number is small, there are some monsters with light attributes.However, light is the most eye-catching thing in the dark, and just using it leads to being targeted by other monsters.

In fact, since we entered the Great Cave, we have made the light stronger and we have been fighting monsters sent by the light several times.

Lucky or because it's a place where no light reaches in the first place... few monsters were sent to the light, but none of them were there.

Meanwhile, using light means you need it.

Many monsters are basically less sighted than others and prefer to live in the dark.

Without light, other senses, such as smell, touch, and hearing, are developed so that you can grasp your surroundings.

In other words, the people who use light here are more likely to be human beings if they don't rely on sight, like us, to recognize their surroundings.

In addition, the light leaking from the end of the passage is swaying.I mean, I'm using fire.It is people who use fire for purposes other than attack.

Almost everyone concluded at this point that there were people ahead. That was the timing.

"Looks like you're here. Hihihihi."

"Hmm?!"

Words that might have been directed at us can be heard from the back of the aisle.

Unique endings. Unique laughter.

Auntie Arten?!

When we came out of the aisle, there was Grandma Arten and Beta.

"Nah, why are you here?! And beta?!"

"Hihihihi."

Grandma Arten smiles happily.

"... that's right. It's funny to think about it."

"What do you mean?!"

"In the first place, you can't make a doll that has so much technical power but doesn't work on your own orders.

It's too scary for a vicious doll to go wild in disregard of his orders. "

"You mean it was set up from the beginning?!"

"Hihihihi."

Grandma Arten laughs instead of answers.

"Besides, it's careless to leave such a dangerous doll in an easy place to touch anyone.

I was listening because I heard that I was dating five Eagle Crowe, but someone who can make such a complicated thing can't make such an easy mistake. "

"Were you cheating on me?!"

"I won't deny it.I'm not trying to deceive you and kill you. "

"Can you send me to a place like this...?"

"Well, if he's dead, that's it.I really needed to try.I wonder if you have the strength to fight my beta and survive. "

"Was it a lie that you said it was incompatible with those who couldn't suppress their intellectual desires?"

"That's not a lie. It's not a lie why I came out of the magical world, or what I've been chased after."

"In this situation, you want me to believe it?"

"I don't want you to believe me.I hope you believe me. "

"... why did you trick us?"

"... do you guys know these black dogs?"

"Black dog?!"

Of course I do. We... are a different faction from the neo-Knights targeting Nir.There are many strong people, and they have been hit several times.Using poison makes people feel that they are seriously coming to kill, and they don't know the purpose.

I didn't think those people's names would come out of Grandma Arten.

"Black Dog? Black Wolf?"

"No, it's not. It's an assassin. Nil is being targeted by them."

"Eh?! Why?! The neo-Knights?!"

"No, it's not."

It was Grandma Arten who answered in my place.

"The black dog... is an assassination unit directly under the current demon king."

"Hmm?! Is that true?!"

"It's not a lie. Well, you may not believe it.

But the truth is, I'm also being targeted by those black dogs. "

"Well, what do you mean...?"

I look at the face that says I don't know what Pro-Merte is talking about, but I don't know.

"I don't call it a black dog.It's an assassination unit under the Demon King. They do everything they can to carry out their orders.

When you try to put together the demons, it doesn't all fit together in a clean way.Sometimes we have to use dirty methods. "

Grandma Arten tried to trick us into fighting Beta.If this story is true, Nil will be targeted by an assassination unit directly under the Demon King...

"Why Nil...?"

"I don't know that either.But I heard you were being targeted. "

Which means... I'm disguised, but I don't know Caidoo, I know Sinya.She said she had connections with other witches, and she must have heard about it somewhere.

"... even if that's true... is Grandma Arten going to catch us and sell us out...?"

"Even if you do that, it's not going to work for black dogs.They're just the troops that were made to carry out the killings they were told.I will not accept any bribes or negotiations. "

"If so... why us?"

"Remember what I told you about the Devil King going crazy?"

Ah.

"I don't know why.Maybe something happened to the Demon King.

Thanks to my skill in making this magic tool, I have had the opportunity to face the Demon King several times.I've heard so many stories. "

"Did you have a stronger connection than just the relationship between the demon clan and the demon king?"

"Even so, I'm a witch, because I'm a grandmother who put one foot into a coffin.It's not that strong, though.

But even I do know that the Demon King is not an easy person to change his mind. "

"What do you mean...?"

"The Demon King is not a person who imitates the people of the demon tribe to put them in danger.There's no doubt about that.

But it happened.

Behind it, something other than the Devil King... no.Someone must be here. "

"I mean... now that the Demon King is going crazy, is someone's mind involved?"

"That's what I'm talking about.

And the people behind it... I think they're probably called Lampardo. "

"Lampard?"

"Simply put, they hate the demon king now."

The Anti-Demonic King organization...?

"I'm not mistaken about that perception."

"Those guys...?"

"There are opposition forces in any organization.

It is the same in the magical world.Especially since there are many bloodthirsty species.If there are many such species in the opposition, it would be no surprise to do radical things.

Those witches who can't suppress their intellectual desire to coexist with other races are in the lampald. "

Grandma Arten's skill as a magic artisan is not only top-notch, but also super top-notch.

I don't think all the witches have that much power, but at least a lot of research has been done.
