Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle ~The Black Mage Who Got Kicked Out of the Hero Party Due to His Unnecessary Debuffs Gets Welcomed by the Top Brass of the Demon King's Army~

Waiting for the non-combatants to join us, we resumed our dungeon exploration.

In conclusion, the third tier was a success.

We were able to set up a safe room in the passage connecting the third and fourth floors and return to the camp.

And no one leaves.

It was a result of everyone's combined efforts, but the contribution of the EXPARTY was particularly impressive.

Speaking of the third tier, the most important one is Mr. Merlin.

She froze the land of ice, and the underside thereof, and thickened the ice.This prevented underwater monsters from easily breaking through the ice.Also, even if it came out, we could expect an attack from vibrations and cracks.

That's not all.

When a giant elephant beast with two teeth rushed in, he intercepted it with a giant "air spear" and knocked it down.

Thereafter, various threats appeared, such as dwarves using ice attributes, subbeasts mixed with crocodiles and lizards, and crystal golems, but we broke through them.

Without hesitation, it was much more troublesome than an ordinary dungeon.

If you put a lot of Floor Boss Class in, it will make adventurers struggle.The first group nodded repeatedly.

"Um... Mr. Margrethe.May I have a moment? "

"Yes, Mira-sama.What is it?

"Well... the magic equipment I recovered from today's investigation."

Mira and Maru are talking.

Yes, I also found magic equipment today.I found a lot of magic tools as well.

For example, Mr. Fulcus stabbed the Crystal Golem, but the Crate fell out of the collapsed Golem.

When I opened it, the gold coins that were once in circulation in the destroyed country were jammed.

Found in the original dungeon can be divided into two types.

What the Spirit gathered and what the Spirit made.

The gold coin will be the former.Rather than finding value in money, I think that's why I like shaping and like sparkling things.

Incidentally, Mira-san's magic equipment fell near where Kraken was defeated.

It was a metal cylinder with a bottom and a lid.It's a cavity inside, and Maru says it's a water bottle.

When it comes to magic equipment, it's the capacity.

I tried putting a lot of water into it, but it never overflowed.I mean, even if I peeked, the contents were still empty.

However, when the person who poured the water leaned while remembering, the water came out.

I don't know the exact capacity, but it's definitely quite a lot.

Perhaps the liquid in it will not deteriorate.

"Is it the water bottle?

"Yeah, can't you just give it away?At the right price, of course. "

"The more...You're going to use it with blood. "

Mira has been able to attack over her own blood volume with the blood of enemies that she has been letting bloodsucking bats and leeches suck.

It's hard to pull blood out of your body and save it for defense.

Some of the magic objects (avatars) are equipped with conditions and require information that they possess them.

For example, there is Aruba's magic sword.

In order to reproduce this with a magical body (avatar), of course, the presence of the body is necessary.

It loads the body's information and reproduces it with magic.

However, if this were enough, for example, Aruba could lend and sell a magic sword, and various adventurers and monsters could use the "stretchable magic sword".

Although there is only one main unit in the world, various magical bodies (avatars) can use it at the same time.

In order to prevent such a thing, when reproducing special equipment with magical bodies (avatars), it was decided that you must possess the main unit.

It is not the blood that flows through the body, but also the blood that has been separately removed.

Therefore, in order for Mira to use an extra amount of her own blood in her defense, she must have the same blood as the one registered in the Magic Body (Avatar) equipment when entering the Cocoon.

I have to drain my own blood on a daily basis and it is a heavy burden.

But if you have a water bottle magic kit, the blood inside won't deteriorate.

It is also possible to clear the problem of preparing the same one as the one registered.

Moreover, because the capacity is large, it can accumulate more and more blood.

It leads to the strengthening of Carmilla, a [blood manipulator] who specializes in manipulating blood.

"Yes, can you do something about it...?

The huge cost of this dungeon survey can be seen only by the number of people involved and the equipment.

We also have the rewards, and basically the ownership of the acquired items lies with Fellow and Maru's Chamber of Commerce.

"Nothing in my life....."

"That's right...."

"However, it is safer for Mira-sama to use it than to put it in the hands of rich people I don't know anybody.I promise I will do my best to provide you with good answers. "

…… Thank you, Mr. Margrethe. "

"If possible, Maru.That's what close people call it. "

"Ufufu. Yes, Mr. Maru."

"By the way, Mira-sama. I would like to ask you one thing, but I am not used to the feeling of flying, and I am still worried about the treatment of" Heaven Wings ".Mira-sama was dancing beautifully in the sky with wings created by blood, but are there any tricks?

Ah, that was...

Near the two beautiful women smiling and blooming in the conversation, [White Mage] 's Jos looks like he was shocked.

"Reme-san... is Mira-san rich?

Huh?

"I mean, buying magic equipment at the right price... is enough to build a mansion in the city, depending on what...?

That's right, but Mira-san doesn't seem to be wasting her time, and she has been working as a monster since before working at Demon King Castle.Suppose you've been saving up money all this time... will it arrive...?

I wonder. But if Mira-san can pay, I'm sure she can.

"I wonder...Besides, you were doing well today.You said you were aiming for an adventurer, but aren't you really going to a training school?I felt kind of used to it. "

"Hey... the training institute (school) was opposed by the parents.I'm sure Lemé's familiar with it is during the battle...?After all, I've been trained to fight, hehe.... "

When I see Jos laughing ambiguously, I don't seem to want to remember much.

[White Wizard] Train your son in combat...?

"Hmm...I look forward to the future. "

"... eh?

"I mean, I'm agile, I know how to fight, and I can cast multiple white magic on all my buddies.You mean you can be such a [white magician]?

Joss opened his eyes and then smiled.

"I want to be.Reme-san.... "

Hmm?

"Does Reme intend to go to some party?

"... that's right.Unless you're going to a tag tournament or something, you can't go back to adventurers traveling the world. "

"Hmm... that's a shame, very much."

Jos raised his troubled voice.

"Reme"

Hyah, it was Mr. Fulcus who looked up at us.

What is it, Mr. Fulcus?

"This is Leme's hometown."

At first, I called him Lemé, but he was already off.I deepened my relationship on the journey... and I'm sure you're going through it in a positive way, and there's nothing wrong with it.

"Yes"

I heard there was a river.

That's why the pin comes in.

"... oh, yes.I can catch fish too, but it will be late from now on, so let's do it tomorrow. "

"... in the morning"

Ahahaha, let's do that.

I think I lost my nerve when I fished for Kraken.I couldn't eat there.

Mr Fulcus nodded satisfactorily and walked somewhere.

... the one in the kitchen, that way.

"... Reme-san, aren't you nervous?

"Nervous?"

Looking at Joss, his face is a little strong.

"'Cause she... Ms. Fulcus pays quite a bit (,,), right?"

"That's right.Mr. Fulcus is very strong. "

"Since the Warrior corresponds to Demon King , in order for the monster to defeat Warrior , it usually requires multiple cooperation.This makes it possible to successfully defend a dungeon without the [Demon King]. "

It sounds like a long time ago, but it would also be included in "Working Together in Multiple Ways" for me and everyone on the first floor to destroy the [Thunderbolt Brave] party.

They still felt like they were still growing up, but it was still difficult for the latter to win by combining [hero] alone with [black demon dog].Almost impossible.

It never means it's bad.That's the reality.

"Mmm...."

"But there are exceptions to everything.Arthur, for example, won't be able to pull the strings of [brave men]. "

I think so.

Of course, [Job] is only [Job].

Even if you say "brave man" in one sip, you have different abilities.

If [Storm Warrior] is above, then there are even young people who have failed the intermediate dungeon repeatedly and sink into disappointment.

Both special and special [heroes] in humankind will be further rated as an industry full of [heroes].

Still special among humans.

They are by no means invincible.

Like Arthur just said, some of the best warriors think that they will win by fighting the [brave] on their own.

And Mr. Fulcus, too.

"... that's right."

Fulcus is a companion of Demon King Castle.I don't hate being praised, but I was a little worried about how to say it.

"What happened with Mr. Fulcus?

"Huh? No, no way.I've barely spoken. "

It won't be a lie.Not just Mr. Joss, Mr. Fulcus doesn't talk much in the first place.

"I feel like I'm actually feeling something."

"... I know a lot of demons.That's why my skin understands how much stronger it is than other species...Honestly, not so many people are pure blood. "

I wonder how much pure blood there is in this day and age.

Even humans (normal) have research results that suggest that there is subhuman blood somewhere back in the day.

Still, there are still places where we stick to marrying people of the same race.

"Do you believe demons grow stronger with thicker blood?

"Yes...."

Does Mr. Fulcus mean that he is a nervous opponent?

An adventurer may be similar to being nervous in front of Aerial.

Well, let's go fishing tomorrow, too, Joss.

"Eh...!?

"I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's the same party.You can't keep your head up all the time, can you?

"That's... that's true, indeed."

"It's okay. I'm not scared.It's nice, yeah, I see it, I joke a lot. "

"Reme-san... you have a fat liver."

"Oh, I see...."

"You're not afraid...I'm going to study...!

What...?

However, I think that Jos's greedy feeling for growth is very good.

"Uh-huh. Okay, so we're going tomorrow, right?

"True or False...!

"Of course, I'll give it to you, too.

I noticed Mira-san standing next to me.

Yeah, let's do that.

I'm used to it, but Jose is stuck in surprise. [M]

Reme-sama Ex-sama May I have a moment? "

Maru called me and I left.

The five party leaders were assembled.

"Again, thank you for being tired today."

After bowing gracefully, Maru continued.

"I'd like to hear your opinions on today's survey...."

"Was the third tier originally 'adapted' to the first tier?That's why we got through well, even though it was troublesome.Of course, because they were good friends. "

Meet Mr. Ex.He raised one lip and laughed.

I don't know how many people get caught up in these trivial tricks.

"Hmm, for us, the next fourth floor is real."

A demon man. He was holding Hydra's neck up with his arms.

I'm the leader of a party that includes a subcat woman who calls Mira Onee-sama.

"For example, in a place full of narrow corridors like a mining area, the massive magic that Dr. Merlin is good at is sealed."

This is the wizard woman.One of the people who is learning magic from Merlin on his journey.

"Ah, is there such a pattern? Yes. Hmm, aren't monsters strong?How can you defeat an enemy that's too tough? "

She's a bunny rabbit.Extremely strong legs, especially jumping.The kick from there is enough to make a hole in the belly of the monster.

Incidentally, stiff is used in the sense that it is generally durable.

There are two types of monsters that came out of the floor boss battle.

Half a horse, half a fish, Kelpy.It was a sub beast of a horse with the bottom half of a fish, and it was green.

They said they lived in rivers and lakes and ate people.

The other is a giant with hard skin and tough flesh.Mr. Fulcus said it was Glendale.

It was hard to defeat Glendale.

It was painful that most attacks were blocked by the skin, and the damage to too many masses was not likely to be effective.

In addition, the field is destroyed by an enemy strike, making it more and more difficult to fight.

It was also difficult to get Kelpy on the lake stage.

Eventually, Maru summoned Mr. Fulcus's armor - this is how he uses Mr. Fulcus's armor - and while Mr. Fulcus was holding down Glendale, everyone prepared.

I prepared "Defense Down", Merlin and the wizards moved to stitch up the enemy's shadow, Maru created a huge axe, and Mira created a huge blood blade.

They knocked everyone's attacks at once, dealing massive damage over enemy defense.

"I think Glendale himself was meant to see our power.In addition to Merlin's magical powers, he wanted to see the maximum attack power of other members. "

"... so the fourth floor is going to be a more intense adventure than this one."

"I think I'm as expected from Reme, but there's something I'm curious about."

"Too reluctant?

Kokuri and Maru nodded.

"Yes, the original dungeon is created using natural magic accumulators, not the dungeon core.Even if it is enormous, it is clearly limited.Considering the re-emergence of the monster, even if we keep hunting the monster on the first level, it will eventually disappear. "

Spirits will not be fun, so if you realize that humans have chosen such a countermeasure, you may release monsters from the second layer onwards.

When approaching the attack and investigation in the frontal attack method, consideration was given to not damaging the spirit's mind as much as possible.

I feel like I'm totally looking forward to this strategy with a chest.

"If you think so, the third layer alone would have consumed a lot of magic."

"I'm sure it is.It takes a lot of magic to reproduce things like regeneration and durability. "

A demonic man and a wizard say.

"Um, I mean, I mean, I mean...?

A bunny rabbit saw me. [M]She is grinding her own plump ears.

"... I mean, I don't think the 24th dungeon is that deep."

"Ah! I see. Perfect.You're too much of a magician for monsters, so you can't build lots of layers.I mean... "

"Hmm, but the Spirit has its own magic, so I don't know exactly...."

I nod to Maru's supplement. [M]

After a while, our conversation continued.

After all, we have no choice but to proceed with the investigation.

The most important thing is to ensure the safety of the surrounding residents, but the treasure that comes out of the Chamber of Commerce is also important... For us investigators, we are also concerned about the "Spirit Trial" that may take place in the deepest depths.

We dissolved and each shared information within the party.

Go to the tent to eat and sleep.

Of course, it was separate for men and women, and the place was far away.

Night.

I woke up.

…………

I usually exercise my black magic. [M]Black magic, duration, and magical organs.Even unconscious magic can be controlled before Master's Hell exercises.

That's why I'm sensitive to magic reactions.

Escape the tent and enter the forest away from the camp.

If you go too deep, you may get lost, but it's a familiar place, and I can sense the magic of my people.

I think I woke you up.

It was Marlin.

It's glowing. She's not.

A swarm of butterflies that shine like moonlight.It must be Merlin's magic.

In the middle of the night, one of the great wizards creates a butterfly of light and makes it dance.

I don't know what it is, and I wonder if I'm dreaming for a moment.

"... it's beautiful."

"Fufufu, thank you. But the real thing was more beautiful."

"Is it real...?

"... ahh.... hmm, I just wanted to talk to you.Can you listen to my old story first?

That's what the Wizard of Foresight told me.
