The Tors, who kept walking as they cleared the ants, arrived there in about two hours to a steep passage with a slope.
Apparently, we're going down two levels from here.
"You walk more than I thought."
"We don't have a lot of decent places to go down. You don't have a choice."
This dungeon has only the ground part surrounded by an outer wall, but the basement increases in breadth as it deepens like a lying bowl.
I have to go further and further down to dominate, but as Rammella put it, there are no convenient stairs or anything like that in this nest of ants, home to insects.
I saw some vertical vertical holes along the way, but I can't use them because I don't know where they lead.
In the end, it became quite a detour to the passage where it could safely descend.
As soon as I went down the diagonal passage, I heard bubbles again.
It is a sign of arrival on two levels.
At the same time, something paralyzed Tor's body ran.
There are one to two physical abnormalities that can be prevented by < Defense Foam >, but the trap to the intruder seems to have pushed through it.
"O Lord of the Tree of Life. Clean the affected children quickly -"
Along with Rammella's chant, the paralysis disappeared lightly.
But the girl is whispering with a face that doesn't float.
"... there's no delay in activation, and it doesn't seem to be magic related. … with no change in usable times."
"Oh, don't you see the effect of the root curse? Two layers are weak."
"Probably... what,... Yep!?
"Grandma, do you see it!?
If you are a skilled tree of your own, anyone can see it if they are conscious.
But to the extent that it is hard to know the names of branches and fruits, it is not possible to foresee clarity in trunks, areas close to roots, etc.
Especially since root characteristics and the like are difficult to detect even soul measuring instruments, even the person may not notice them.
That is why I could say that Tor's most effective < temporal column perception > is a slightly less commonsense substitute.
"... I see, that's why you even paralyzed me. Yeah, I don't think so."
The blue scaly skin of the Ethereal Scale tribe has strong resistance to changes in condition.
But by lowering the body's resistance, Tor's words seemed to be convinced that it was easier to protect them.
"Oh, that's amazing!
To Kugase, who raised his bounced voice with a sparkling eye, Thor reminds me of a purple-eyed child who is so wasted about now.
but he was shown the decisive difference in the following words and accidentally laughed bitterly.
"Now it would be a shame to make a fortune if I could see it until someone else's"
"Um, unfortunately."
"So you're not old enough for Dada. Yeah, I reviewed it, old man."
The Tea Horn Girl seemed to have a character to say pretty much anything extra, but her arms seemed certain, not unlike a big mouth.
Stopping unexpectedly, he speaks casually to Straccia, who leads the way.
"Ah, captain. I'm gonna hide next to you."
The cautioned red-haired swordsman gently nods and slows his steps slightly.
And the moment Straccia passed the pointed out place, she stepped forward with no sound and the aisle wall collapsed.
Appearing behind the swordsman were giant ants just like walls.
It is about twice the size of an amber ant, but it is its head that stands out especially.
It is round and flat and also looks as if it has a shield on it.
Looks like he blocked the entrance to the horizontal hole with this head and was faking it on the wall.
When the dirt that was covering his head falls, its green and beautiful body is revealed.
The name of this monster is Emerald Ant.
The shield-like head boasts an unparalleled hardness and is responsible for protecting the other ants.
A bunch of amber ants should still be holding back in the horizontal hole behind the emerald ants.
This ambush first overtakes the avant-garde, then exits the hole and breaks up the party.
And it is the way that the jade ants of the shield will stop the avant-garde in a hurry to return, and the amber ants will attack the rear guard in its crevices.
But if you know what I mean, you can handle it quickly.
"Long roots of great earth trees, stretched and intertwined -"
Big ant movements stopped halfway out of the hole in a magic move that increased the weight of the target monster.
The emerald ants, because of their sturdy bodies, pride themselves considerably more on their former.
Ants in the rear will be unable to move on allies that have become frightening obstacles.
A red ball of burning fire was thrown in there.
Heavy heat causes a blast and it goes wild, putting together the amber ants that were lurking in the horizontal hole and painting them on the wall.
And to the emerald ants who lost their allies in an instant, the stracchia that turned sideways relentlessly inserts a black blade into their joints.
The quickly disassembled shield rolled unnecessarily to the ground.
"The Emerald Ant treasure ball is behind this flat part."
"Well, but you've noticed you're hiding a lot."
"That hardness is completely different, so you won't get in while you're hiding. Eh."
The girl, who also got a good face, let her play the horn of her own forehead lightly with her fingertips.
In fact, that part of the Tea Horn Clan has the ability to measure the hardness of the substance, albeit roughly.
Most Tea Horn clans do not have as much accuracy as Kugase.
It would still mean that the area is just qualities to be chosen for A-rank.
"Already. So I'm telling you not to get along! Idiot."
"Oh, I was accidental. That old man, he's not easy to talk to."
"We're just playing together again -. Look, let your sister in."
"Hey, please don't!
"Oh, too, oh, no!
"Kufu, I don't even want to throw away Ku's gummy ass, but Ram's soft ass isn't exceptional"
"My thirst cannot be satisfied to this extent...... More... more!
Tor scratched under his chin with nothing to say about how the vivid collaboration earlier seemed to be a line of lies.
The three-tiered curse was to reduce the number of times magic moves were available by a certain number.
It seems to be a ratio to the original number of times, and if there is only one time from the original, it seems to be OK.
For Tor, the upper limit of < restore > had been reduced to eight times.
Ninessa and the others used all their lower branch skills because they seemed to be wary of this.
From the third floor, by the way, it became necessary to pass through the large room.
Naturally, there are ants waiting inside.
Here comes another kind of troublesome monster.
It is a quartz ant that produces clear crystal thorns in the thoracic region.
The body length is equivalent to that of emerald ants, who have the habit of vibrating crystalline thorns and disturbing concentration with unpleasant sounds.
Besides that, they also have the nature to interfere with the magic moves of the lightning system.
It is also quite sturdy, contrary to appearance, because of its hardness. Besides being resistant to heat.
However, the movement is as dull as that of the jade ants.
He doesn't seem like a struggling opponent because he is a prey to < magnetic precepts > outfits.
Straccia, who was leading the way in comfort, but suddenly stopped and peered into the end of the aisle.
The caught up Tors peek softly into it, too.
What was spreading there was a huge space, a glimpse of the hissing ants.
