Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Wearing a blindfold, Toka starts swimming deep into the cave. It looks like you already have a detailed map in your head. We'll chase after her so we don't lose sight of her.

I can't believe I really found it...

Well, in the end, shopping for Ledge--

"Yes, it's all right if it's over." Come on, let's go! "

The tent gazes suspiciously and swims bumpily to escape. Don't forget to retrieve the markers along the way. It's an important item that I bought with nearly 100,000 bits. I can't make it cheap and disposable.

"Torka, watch out for the baboons, they may be swimming."

It's okay, I don't think there's anything like that nearby.

"Can you sense the presence of protozoa..." It's a super-powerful ability, isn't it?

Previously, Torka was as strong as the top players, but the ingenuity of his sword technique in reality was only utilized in Virtual Reality. Now, the surprising ability to cognize the surroundings in more detail by blindfolding has emerged.

She doesn't see the shards go astray, but goes beyond many branches. I was pretty far away from the place closest to the "Temple of the White Abyss", but I was wondering if I could.

When I felt so worried, Toka finally stopped.

You've arrived.

Yes, but I can't break the wall...

When she got to her destination, Toka finally took off her blindfold. The wall she touched with her hands was just like any other rocky skin, and it didn't look particularly fragile. It seems that both Xingo and Ishimi destroyed it with their [Mining] skill, but none of the members here have trained it.

Letty could break it if she smashed the hammer, but the trouble is, she doesn't have a wetsuit for her.

Well, I'll take care of it. Now it's time for the markers.

That's where I come in.

Bring the Attache Case and step forward with enthusiasm. I asked Toka to tell me the exact location of the brittle wall, and I pierced the marker into it.

What are you going to do now?

“Simply blasting. It's time for an explosion marker."

It is a single-use marker, but it is convenient to use in such a place. It is not poured under water because it hits the wall directly, and it does not get damaged by moisture. The advantage of markers is that they can be used in any location or environment.

Everybody stay away from me.

I don't know how the impact of the blast spreads in the water. I took a great distance just in case, making sure everyone was evacuated before triggering the trap.

Trap Activation

After a gong, a strong shock spread, and a red flame could be seen in the bubble for a moment. The walls collapse, debris and sand soar. The smoke curtain that was already dancing was not clear enough, and the time to mingle for a while had passed.

Oh? Oh, it's open!

With this, the hole finally appears.

The hole in the middle of the wall was big enough to make the tent move with ease. It was dark inside, and I wasn't sure how long it would last, but there was space behind the wall anyway.

Wow, some tension's rising!

Looking at the tent window, I could see Luna clinging to it with her eyes shining. She says she usually travels around with the muffs, and will be happy to find these hidden lands.

Kagura and Mizuki open their mouths and cheer on the shrine. On the contrary, Kizuki seemed not very interested.

For now, let's check inside and go inside.

Ok, well then, Ai-san, thank you very much.

Torka blindfolds again and the eye makes a sound.

Hmm, it was quite powerful because it would complete the search.

"Ai, why don't you come to the [White Deer Anchor]?"

Haha!? What are you doing all of a sudden!?

"No, I'm just kidding." The synergy with Toka is so high that exploration is likely to progress with Eye. ”

When I said that with a smile, the surprised eye suddenly had a calm face.

Is that so?

Yeah?

I don't know about that, but I don't think it's a good idea. In the first place, she was the deputy leader of the [Knights of the Great Eagle], so she couldn't switch to another band.

The Knights of the Great Eagle are also on a business trip. I can lend it to you as long as it fits my schedule. "

Hey, you idiot!

From the side of the tent, you hear Astra laughing. Speaking of which, the Knights were in the mercenary business. Players who go to dangerous fields to collect items are hired to escort them.

However, hiring a deputy commander can be quite expensive for half a day.

Ledge-san, what are you talking about in front of a girl?

"It's not like that..."

Letty said to me with cold eyes and waved her arms in a hurry. If you calm down, I think it was certainly a rather dangerous dialogue.

"Hmm. The interior is almost a main road, and it seems that there are no native creatures." It's not going to be dark, so let's move on slowly. ”

Well, yeah, let's go.

Listen to the state of the surroundings. (...) End. (...) Eh. (...) Return to me by coughing up Toka. We quickly entered the Wall after Aye, who went ahead.

Haa, it's really dark.

Turn on the searchlight for the dove and the pigeon.

Most of the "Wadazumi Cavern" is dim, but thanks to the luminous water moss that flourishes on the wall, it has some visibility. However, there was no passage beyond the wall and there was no light at all.

He tries to look ahead by intensifying the light of the dove and the pigeon, but the whole picture is uncertain because of the terrain that slowly bends downward.

But it's really a quiet place, isn't it?

Rather than being a native creature, Letty blurs in her tent as she travels through a deadly passageway that shows no signs of life. No fighting, no split. The same scene persisted, and I did feel a little depressed.

That's not true. Here, take a good look at that wall over there. "

Putting her hand on Letty's shoulder, her ears drooping without strength, was Luna's restlessness. She pointed out the window with her fingertips, her eyes shining brightly.

Is the wall...? Is it a little cracked?

{That's right. That's a vein. It must be a high-quality black iron mine. "

Huh. There's a mineral vein in the sea, too.

The chiffon that came to the window exclaimed as Luna invited her to move. Indeed, the surrounding walls contained a number of cracks of that kind.

Underwater is a hole in metal mining. There's even a miner who builds exclusively for it. "

«Yes.» is that so?

With her mouth wide open, Luna nodded in surprise. She shouldn't be a miner herself, but if she hobbies field work, will she naturally see it around her?

I used to have a Mine skill, but I never came here to dig this far on a boulder. I was unaware of the veins.

In addition to black iron ore, there are also white and blue iron ore veins. It looks like the jewels are buried, and maybe the oil. Even if the back ends, there are plenty of treasures. "

Hah, hahaha...!

Luna's eyes sparkled, and the chiffon roared.

"Don't be sorry that you didn't bring your husk." And before that, there was no skill. "

Oh, that's right. Hmm, that's too bad. "

The treasure is asleep in front of you, but there's no way to get it. Perhaps Luna noticed this too, and her shoulders dropped in a flash.

There's no time for all of you to be happy.

I can hear the voice of Toka who was ahead.

When I turned my attention to you in a hurry, the narrow aisle suddenly widened greatly.

"This is..."

Then, behind the expanding space, an unnatural vertical white wall can be seen thinly. The surface has been washed over the years and there are countless scratches on it.

The Temple of the White Abyss. Coordinates are definitely correct. "

Eye's voice trembled as she looked at the map.

It was on the outside of the [Temple of the White Abyss] that we were aiming for.

Mr. Ledge, please look over there.

Tart scrapes her voice up and points forward. Beyond the white wall--no, I saw a small hole drilled into it.

"Behind, on the dark side, underwater, small, wind tunnels..."

It's exactly as it says in the ciphertext.

If that's the case, there's something in that hole that we're aiming for.

Watch out, Ledge!

"What!?"

Suddenly, Luna raised her voice. She looked up at the wide cave ceiling. I followed my gaze and saw something moving in the darkness.

"Will you let me reach it so easily?" Toka, Ai! "

Leave it to me!

Fufu, I'll cut you as much as I can!

I call my name fast, or two shadows run through the water.

Me, us too!

I'm going!

The four gods instantly regained their positions in battle.

Kuuuuu! Please let Lettie and Lettie go!

Hey, no! I'm drowning!

I can do something with my temper!

Astra, you can't do anything. When you look at it quietly

The tent is noisier, but I don't have time to look out for it.

From the darkness emerged a giant octopus, black as the toes. Only his eyes glowed golden and he was staring at us.

"This is not a normal native creature....."

Just by looking at it, I can see how heterogeneous it is. A presence that would never exist in nature. Above all, I couldn't even notice it until it appeared so close.

Ledge-san, that one!

"--It's the Black God Beast."

Letty didn't have to do the appraisal.

The black raven rolled up its eight thick tentacles and approached Toka and Ai, who stood with their swords.
