61 27 Tales: Courageous Escape

"Goblin."

Notice the identity of the impending shadow and whine.

Goblin - a green-skinned demon with a similar physique to a human child. The demon of the human form is easy to preface action because it moves close to a person, but its power is not comparable to that of a human being. Even in a child's physique, strength is more than an adult.

"It's not just goblins... Hob Goblins mixed up too"

Gran told him in a nervous voice.

Behind the goblin, there was a big goblin.

Hob Goblin - It's a goblin that's grown to adult stature. If it's about goblin, Mize can handle it, but if it's Hob Goblin, it's dangerous if you're caught off guard.

A glimpse of the three: Gran, Mize and Elysia.

The number of goblins is four. What the hell is Hob Goblin? It is clearly unlucky to encounter enemies of this magnitude on the one hand. Elysia is in a cold-blooded position, but Gran and Mize are bewildered.

- Perhaps the thief is after us.

If we get weirdly impotent here and turn back to the ground, we could run into thieves.

Besides, I want to lure you a little deeper into the labyrinth in order to defeat the thieves.

"... Oz, can we go"

I whispered to Oz, who was beside me.

"Yeah. Oh, but when you think about the escort, you have to figure out how to fight. … how far should I use it?"

"... you can use it until you start parallel. Multiple parallel activation...... don't use synthesis (...) and outbursts (...)"

"Rikai"

Oz, who nodded small, jumped before us.

"Can I take care of this?

"So, but Mr. Oz alone..."

"Haha, it's okay. Because it'll be over soon."

That said, Oz stuck his arms forward.

A green light shines around your left arm and a blue light shines around your right arm. No, a high noise sounded, and magic converged on both arms of Oz.

Goblins rushed closer to Oz to see if they had a sense of crisis about the converging magic. But faster than the demon stops Oz...

"Dorn!

Two magics were unleashed from both arms at the same time as Oz screamed.

A cannon of wind and a cannon of water thrust into a herd of demons.

Two shells exploded in the heart of a herd of demons.

A roar echoes in the underground space. We flashed our faces at the sound of ear smashing destruction.

"Yes, over -!

Oz, looking back here, says with a full grin.

Seeing, the flock of goblins was scattered without a trace.

"Now, the C-rank magic Wind Cannon and Water Cannon, right? Two at the same time…"

Elicia opens her eyes in amazement, she says.

"Parallel startup, right"

To Mize's whining, I rounded my eyes.

"You know what?"

"Yes. I used to write in books I read in the library. Starting multiple magic simultaneously at once… requires magical instant stress to complete in a short amount of time, but requires magical persistence if activated over time"

It seemed like a diligent Mize, an exemplary answer.

Parallel activation does not complicate the construction of magic itself, so it does not require much magic control (control). However, magic consumes magic power in the body even when it is activated, and thus in order to achieve parallel activation, a magic instant force (speed) is required to minimize the consumption of magic power, or a magic endurance (stamina) that can be tolerated even if magic is consumed.

Parallel activation can be used because in the case of Oz it is good at the latter's ability.

It only takes a little while to build the magic, but the instantaneous firepower is pretty high. - That's why I joined this mission as my assistant.

"Instant power, or main power... this"

"Hmm."

To the warring Gran, Oz flattened his chest with joy.

It's considerably less (...), but (...), but still, as it stands, it's the most firepower among us.

"With that said, I forgot to decide beforehand, but what about demonic material?

Elysia throws an inquiry at all of us.

Oz has almost wiped out the demon's flesh due to the high power of a single blow, but there were still a few parts left that could be recovered as material.

"You won't have to collect it now. There is a demand for the eye for goblins, and some guts in addition to the eye for Hob Goblins, all of which have a trick to remove. And if you collect it here, you'll be the feather of something that stinks of blood all the way to the end of the request."

"I don't like that."

Other facials also expressed their consent to Elisia, who looked distracted.

It is, by the way, the guts of the goblin species, and it is the testicles that trade at the highest prices. Formulated to create an excellent vigor.

◆

The search for the labyrinth "Tomb of the Deep King" proceeded smoothly, reaching four levels.

This labyrinth continues to the lower level to draw a spiral, making it easy to predict the position of the stairs. Besides, some maps I bought at the guild, so far I haven't lost my way.

"Beyond that, pay attention because there are no walls. The road seems wide, but if it falls, it's the end of the roll."

Elisia says.

The walls on both sides disappeared and a suspension bridge-like passage appeared. From here on out we will walk in these dangerous places.

"Downstairs, you don't see anything..."

"I'm scared..."

Gran and Mize peek into the darkness at their feet and get nervous.

I took the time and slowly proceeded down the aisle.

"... Huh?

Elysia with the map raises questions about the sight in front of her.

Something happened, me and Gran, walking in the lead, looked back and looked at her.

"There's a subtle difference between the map and the information here. Look, look."

"... that's true. Did this place also collapse in the earthquake?"

Peek into the map that Elisia has, says Mize.

Right now, at the end of our walking passage, the floor was falling out. The hole is huge and I'm not going to be able to jump over it using Ligament.

"There you go, there's a staircase ahead. … troublesome but let's take a detour"

Elysia says in a sigh mix.

We decided to take a little back the way we came and go for the stairs from another aisle.

Even though exploration is going well, the consumption of health continues. It was this right after I talked to him about whether it was time to pinch the little pause.

Each has a sense of fatigue on his face, but it's time to step on it.

I walked out in a mood, then...

- Stop.

In a small voice, tell everyone in the rear.

I only put my face out of the corner of the aisle and saw a large shadow nestled in the room ahead.

"It's Kimyra.... I'm gonna break a little bone dealing with that one."

Lion's head, goat's torso, viper's tail.

The apparent demon that unites the three animals - Kimyra. Look, it's distorted, but its flesh is strong, and it can exhale flames from its mouth. Aside from the lion's head, he had the head of a goat on his back and the head of a venomous snake on the tip of his tail, with a total of six eyes vigilant around him.

He's more powerful than Hob Goblin.

Without me and Oz, we wouldn't defeat ourselves, but it's troublesome when we get flamed in this tiny space.

"But the stairs are over there. I can't get through the other road..."

Elisia says.

That's when the head of the viper on Kimyra's tail stared at us.

"Bad, they noticed"

Kimyra roars.

I felt the pressure to vibrate the atmosphere and my skin popped all over my body.

Kimyra turning this way opens her big jaw.

Behind that throat, I saw a burning flame.

"We're leaving!

At the same time as I tell the four of them, a flame is emitted from Kimyra's mouth.

Heavy hot air gushed from behind us as we turned the corner of the aisle and evacuated in a hurry.

"Duh, what shall we do!?

"I can't deal with that! Let's get the hell out of here!

Gran also replied in a hurry to Mize screaming as she ran.

I agree with Gran.

Anyway, here, back off once...

"Tweet, forward!!

Elicia screamed with a tired face.

- I know.

Instantly use Ligament to greatly improve physical abilities.

Receive a huge fist approaching from the front and get in position immediately.

- Hob Goblin.

All I could say was that I was unlucky to encounter in one layer, but it's not so uncommon to encounter Hob Goblin in four layers.

But - it was still bad luck to show up at this time.

"Pinched..."

"This guy, hey, isn't he bad...?

says Gran as he drips a cold sweat from his forehead.

Now that we're pinched by Kimyra and Hob Goblin, we're certainly in a critical situation. With the firepower of Oz, we might be able to sweep it off, but it's more likely it won't take us long to make it.

But it's not like there's no escape route.

Alerting the two demons, I glimpsed the suspension-bridge-like passage I had walked earlier.

Actually, there are five floors under that aisle. It takes courage to jump, but with Ligament, you can get down without getting hurt.

Since it is a route that cannot be used on the way home, I wanted to follow the correct directions up to the fifth level… I had no choice at this time.

Eyes on Oz.

I tried to get her to tell me there was a way out of two demons, then...

"- Downstairs!

Mize screamed.

"There's a scaffold ahead of you jumping down that aisle! It's dark and hard to see, but with Ligament you should be able to land well!

"Ho, is that true, Mize!?

"Yes! - Follow me!

With that said, Mize activated Ligament and ran towards the aisle.

As I follow you, I'll face Oz.

- Why, Mize knows.

It's dark under that aisle. At least with the naked eye, you can't see the jumping floor.

Mize said she was new to this labyrinth. Was that a lie?... No, I remember how she was just in the labyrinth, full of curiosity. I don't think that's acting. And there's no reason to lie.

Mize jumped straight off the aisle, taking us elsewhere.

Mize's body is drunk by the darkness at her feet. But shortly afterwards, Mize, who landed on five floors, was seen swinging the pine lights left and right to let her know she was safe.

"Well, it looks like you could really go."

"Oh. We're going, too."

I have a lot to ask, but I have to survive first.

We followed Mize, activated Ligament and jumped off the aisle.
