The next day.

departed in the morning to take down the unique individuals, but they suddenly ran into trouble.

The priest who had been scheduled to meet them at the temporary base was not there.

”...That’s strange”

”That’s right. The temporary base is ready, so something must have happened during the scouting”

This time, since the temple had requested it, all the preliminary preparations, such as scouting, had been done by people belonging to the temple.

They were supposed to meet up with the person who had been monitoring the unique individuals here, but there is no one to meet up with. A bad feeling came over to them.

”I guess it’s no use staying here, let’s move on”

”If something happened during the scouting, we should find him quickly...”

”Don’t panic, let’s move quickly”

Renka restrained the enthusiastic Alvin and Milis.

With Renka in the lead, Alvin and his team left the temporary base and ventured deeper into the desert.

”Al-kun!

It is happened when they walked and explored the desert for a while.

When Milis raised her voice, she found a person lying face down on the deserted ground. Milis could tell from a distance that he was a priest, as he was dressed in vestments, though in tatters.

”Let’s help him, Mil!”

”Yes!”

Alvin and Milis ran out. Renka and Shinji followed, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

”Are you okay? ...Aah!!”

Alvin rushed to the fallen priest and turned him over to treat him... The man had been slashed in a straight line from his mouth to his belly button, and he had died. Milis gasped.

” The enemy’s presence in all directions! They’re coming!”

Renka shouted.

When Shinji looked around, he saw that a swarm of had risen from the sand piles in the desert and surrounded Alvin and the others around the corpse.

They roared and rushed at them all at once. Alvin swung his great sword at the rock lizard, which had a body twice the size of a human and hard scales as weapons.

”!”

There is a flashing on the side of his great sword. The magic blade stretches out and cuts the rock lizards together. He released it once again, eradicating the swarm of rock lizards approaching from the north and west.

”... Flair ”

* * *

As they continued their search, Renka found the footprints of rock lizards.

They seemed to be a swarm and there were quite a few footprints. They concluded that if it was a clever unique individual, it could be leading a pack, and they started tracking it.

”It’s so obvious...”

”Yeah, but we have to go”

The footprints led to a dried canyon.

The path was wide enough for two people to walk side by side. The further the path goes, the more it slopes downward, and the further they go, the more they are blocked on both sides by high walls of earth.

This path, which can only be traversed backwards and forwards, would be perfect for an ambush.

Shinji and Alvin looked blatantly uncomfortable, but they made up their minds and decided to continue on.

”Freri, please help me detect the monster”

[...Leave it to me]

”I’ll be on the lookout for traps”

Freri, who had been summoned, used her detection magic as she walked away, followed by Renka. Alvin, Shinji, and Milis followed suit.

As they proceeded, the cliffs on either side of them became deeper and deeper... the sunlight was getting harder and harder to reach, and it was getting dimmer and dimmer.

They all stopped to avoid the darkness, and Shinji and Renka lit the torches.

It was then that the torches began to light up the dim surroundings.

”Up!!”

Freri shouted.

Judging that the situation was so urgent, Shinji was the first to look up. Alvin and the others immediately looked up as well.

A rock lizard was jumping from the cliff right above Alvin and his team.

The rock lizard does not have the ability to fly.

So, a lump of rock, twice the size of a human, was falling.

There was trouble.

Can they handle the unexpected death of their guide who had been cooperating with them?

The unique individuals are very smart!

They’re in a pinch.
