hours after we started exploring in earnest.
Coming to the back of the bamboo grove, he came out to an open place like the forest of Alde.
And naturally, giant trees are in the middle, and there are Trent-like trees around.
"Oh, have we met?"
"I knew you were there..."
Hmm, I really discovered that.
What do we do... should we leave it like this and wait until it develops into a great crusade... bother.
There may be damage to others while we wait, and if we develop into a great crusade, we can't keep it down.
But if it's a big crusade, there's a reward by Gacha... no, let's just stop it.
If you're greedy, you might see painful eyes, and because it's for the chatter, the choice that might make a sacrifice is no.
Then I don't feel comfortable pulling the chatter. I want to feel good about turning the chatter.
"Oh, but not smaller than we fought some time ago?
"Hmm? I do feel a little small..."
When I was troubled on my own, Estelle looked at the giant tree and tilted her neck.
If you ask me, that Grandis, don't look smaller than before.
Could it be another guy? Let's take a look at the status and see.

"... what is this? There's a tentative next to my name."
"Oh, something's come up!
"Eh."
Sissha suddenly raises her voice and points her finger as she is distracted by the variation in the display of the status app.
That was the direction Grandis was in, and if you look at it, something black was coming out of the giant tree.
When the black object comes out of the Grandis completely, it spreads its wings and begins to fly through the sky.
A small creature, like a goblin in the shape of a person, with a horny, ghostly, vicious face.
On his left he had a trident spear with a tip divided into three parts, and on his right he had something like a black gem.
He's looking at us with red eyes, as he observes, flying around our heads.
Hey, what the... is that a demon? and status for now!

――――――
Hey, what the fuck! I'm pretty strong, though!
Besides, the next of the species is labeled a relative... I don't know what that means.
As he was baffled by the sudden development, Diabols suddenly roared.
It's so loud that the air and the ground vibrate that you want to block your ears.
"Gu... uuuuuuu..."
"What is it? - Ah!? Todd, Trent's on the move!
Looking forward, Grandis and Trent, who hadn't been able to move until just now, pulled their roots off the ground simultaneously and began to move.
And now that we can walk, Trent is heading towards us.
"Is that demon manipulating you?
"Sounds like it...... If we don't take that down here, it's going to be a mess."
In addition to Grandis and Trent, the situation is even more like Diabols.
Retreat and rebuild the system, or can we just keep gobbling and knocking it down...
It hurts to run away and lose sight here, even though I could have encountered a guy who seemed to be involved in a freak around Quelles.
I'd just like to kill you here considering the future......
"Um, yeah - abu!?
Diabols, who was in the air, threw the spear I had behind me in my Sissha and Estelle goose hands.
The thrown three more spears come toward us wrapped in black light.
I rushed to bounce it back with the lid of the pan and my body was taken behind me but I managed to endure it.
It's such a powerful attack that the arm you've received is paralyzed.
The bounced spear flies around the air in a circle, quickly becoming a particle of light and returning to his hand.
That bastard... he went for the rear guard first. Does that mean you're pretty intelligent?
Well I don't care about that...... I can't forgive you for attacking Estelle and the others, I can't forgive you!
"All right, he's definitely gonna hold his breath here and now!
"You're superior! Don't fly in the sky, you bastard!
"You're not supposed to come down. Calm down, brother and Sissha."
I shouldn't, the blood went up on my head and cut me.
Trent and the others are still coming towards us. We're being attacked from both the ground and the air. We need to determine the situation properly.
Even though it is one body, it is held up in the sky by demons with the offensive power to be fatally wounded if it hits Estelle or Sisha.
Ignore the ground and somehow defeat it first from that Diabolus, or ignore the sky and process it from the Grandis......
Or both at the same time... here it is.
"Knoll, can you handle Grandis and Trent on your own until you defeat the demons in the air? You can use your skills."
"It's an easy win if you can use your skills!
"Okay, I'm sorry about that, but I asked for it."
"Copy that!
A Silver Aura Knoll should be strong enough to deal with even one enemy on the ground.
And now Grandis, for some reason, has a lower status than before.
In the meantime, while I protect you, I'll have Runa and Estelle do an anti-aircraft attack and drop that Diabolus.
If you end up with enemies on the ground, if you're at a disadvantage, that one might escape, and we'll beat it at the same time and knock it down first.
Asking Knoll for it just now, she ran into Trent and the others as she was wrapped in a silver aura.
Now I don't have to think about the ground for a while.
"He's bound to pierce here. Being after Sisja deserves to die."
"Le, mr. Luna... I can't believe you're so angry for me..."
Luna was staring at Diabols with a sharp eye.
The usual state of pull is like a lie, raising my fighting temper on my face and holding my spear.
It may be since the Smythe battle that I see him like this.
"Whoa, well, then go with Estelle and attack Luna, too."
"Yeah, okay. Luna, I'm gonna shoot you down."
"Um, I'll take care of it."
Only two people can attack Diabols in the air, Estelle and Luna.
My centipede bra is out of the question because it's too late to hit it at all.
So I just decided to ask Estelle and Luna to do the offense.
Estelle puts out a fireball and shoots it out toward Diabols one after the other, but he flies around lightly to avoid it.
Because of her fast movement, her attacks have not even plundered.
Even while I'm avoiding it, I look at the gap and throw the three more spears in my hand towards me.
I will prevent it and get Cissha to heal the damage that went into plain sight.
"Mm-hmm! You can't hit it when you move!
"Leave it to me. Phew!"
Towards Diabols, who continues to avoid Estelle's onslaught, Luna threw a spear overflowing with red aura.
A murderous blow using skills.
Diabols trembled at the attack and did a surprising trick, but winged it and dodged it critically.
Luna's spear flies in the direction of the day after tomorrow at high speed, wrapping around the red light.
"Chip, did you avoid it"
"Dude, you can't even hit Luna's spear!?
"Don't panic. It's no use avoiding it once."
"What?"
I didn't think I could avoid Luna's blow.
I was surprised at the avoidance, but Luna just tongued regrettably and calmed down without panic.
It's no use just avoiding it once...?
Diabols, who avoided the attack, laughed as he pointed at us to make a fool of himself.
And as I said in return, the moment I raised my arm to throw a trident spear while avoiding Estelle's attack - a red spear tip pops out of my belly.
Pierced through his belly, Diabolus falls straight to the ground losing control of his wings.
"I've avoided it, my spear twists and bends the space but flies towards my goal... only once"
"... Speaking of which, it had automatic tracking on it"
"I don't think you know what happened to that demon, either."
"That's Mr. Luna! Let's get it over with now!
Apparently the avoided spear flew toward Diabols again once in the rear.
I couldn't see the effect because I'd always hit it with one shot before, but automatic tracking is pretty egregious... he said he'd bend the space twist...
While I think it's unreasonable - I now begin to attack Diabolus, who crashed to the ground in gratitude for Luna's spear.
The spear that stabbed her in the belly was already back in Luna's hands, but she was crawling holding her belly without flying again to see if the damage was terrible.
Make it impossible for Estelle to tie up her limbs there with dirt magic, and beat out her body one after the other with water magic.
I also fly a centipede bra and stab it all over my body with it deformed like a thorn.
Luna has also thrown spears many times in the meantime.
The three of us rarely hit each other from a distance. It may be a bit of a tragic sight, but if I show a gap, I'm going to be able to escape into the sky again...... I need to finish here at once.
Sisha was oronic because he had no means of ranged attack, but he picked up stones that were falling nearby, throwing them and attacking them plain.
You don't have to attack that far... well, it's better than being stormed.
Continuing to attack for a while, when Luna's spear pierces the middle of her forehead, she finally disappears into a particle of light to see if her HP is gone.
"All right, then, Knoll's -"
He finished defeating Diabols and looked back to take on Grandis opponent, whom he had left to Knoll.
There's no longer a Grandis figure there, and there's a sight of Knoll ravaging Trent moving around wrapping a silver aura.
Just one swing and some of the trees are disappearing in pieces. It moves too fast and there is no fine dust in how it is caught on the tentacles of the branches.
Already 90% of Trent is gone.
"You don't have Grandis anymore..."
"Trent's almost gone, too. That's Mr. Knoll."
"Is it that strong in that state..."
Estelle and the others have an indescribable look when they see Knoll rumbling around.
I guess it's just the strongest status in this party.
If Diabols were Knoll too, I'd feel like I could have knocked him out even if he was in the sky...... if I jumped it would seem to arrive normally.
I left the rest to Knoll, and I went to Diabols' vanished location to collect the drop items.
What was falling was a black horn and a trident spear. The black gem I had in my right hand had also fallen... but it was falling apart and scattered in pieces.
He didn't look like he was using it during the fight, but what did he have it for? Let's collect the fragments just in case.
Upon finishing the collection and returning to Estelle and the others, Knoll returned to us after defeating all of Trent.
And then the silver aura disappears from her...... as usual it falls on the spot.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
"Oh, you did a good job. I'll be home in a minute, so you need to get some rest."
"Powerful, but you still fall"
I carry the crying knoll, as I always do.
... Ah, speaking of skills, so was Luna.
"Luna used her skills, too, but are you okay?
"I've only used it once, so I'm fine so far. If you can't, let me smoke from Heihachi."
Luna said that as she stared at me with her jito eyes.
Ugh... you're scared of getting bitten in the neck and sucking blood...
But they used my skills, and should I be patient to offer them about that?
Besides, it's bad for a toddler girl to bite me... no, this sounds kinda weird to me.
"Well, nothing."
"No! Then suck it from me!
I tried to answer that it was good, and Sisha broke in.
He kneels in front of Luna and desperately asks me to hold his hands together and suck them in front of his chest.
Yeah, this is the real pervert. I'm not going to, but I'm not going to be able to imitate you very much.
Luna, asked for, deflected her face from Sisha and squealed with a very sorry look on her face.
"... I don't like it because it tastes bad"
"I didn't say that because I hated that one, it really didn't taste good"
"Oh, it feels like my tongue is paralyzed and I can burn it in my mouth, and the unpleasant smell blows through the back of my nose refreshingly"
"Oh, I don't know... I can't believe it smells bad... ugh"
What do you mean the unpleasant smell comes out refreshingly......
It still sounds like Sissha's blood, even if it's a cleric, isn't a very good thing for Luna.
Said Sisha is regrettably slamming the ground and crying.
"How is it that clerics are saddened that they can't get their blood to suck..."
"It's Sissha. I can't help it."
"That's right..."
Knoll and Estelle, who were watching how it went, have a frightened look, but they don't seem to be going deep anymore because it's already a sight of course.
I left the crying Sissha to Luna and I decided to ask Estelle what she cared about.
About the jewels that Diabols dropped.
"Estelle, do you know what this is like? The guy who was flying in the sky had it."
"Oh, is that the gem that the demon had in his right hand? It's not fragmented. Give me a loan."
I gave Estelle a piece of pieced black gemstone.
When she covers it with both hands, she begins to focus on closing her eyes and exploring something.
"Hmmm...... I'm not sure because I fell apart, but this is close to Demon Light Stone. There's only a little magic left, so maybe there was some magic in it."
"A demonic stone... He came out of that demon Grandis, and he seems to be involved in the weirdness that's going on around Quelles... he didn't seem capable of that status. Then…"
"Does that mean the stone might be the cause?
"I don't have any certainty, but I don't know what it is - feels like?
Diabols' unique abilities and skills are not such great things to do.
But he jumped out of the Grandis, and I'm pretty sure he was doing something in the demons.
I am also concerned that it was [tentatively] attached to Grandis.
I never used a gem during the fight, and I don't think I had it for another use... at least I wish it wasn't broken.
It's also likely that Diabols broke it himself before he could do it.
Plus, the status said something about family members, and there's a chance there's someone who was manipulating that...
With that in mind, the smartphone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.
"My smartphone...... oh!? This is it!
"Is that reaction, chatter?
Take it out of your pocket. Just look at your smartphone, [Box Gatcha Held!] and it appeared on the screen.
