I've noticed it following a trio of white beast races, holding the Flame Lizard to central Caldera.

The trio climbs straight up Caldera, but another flame lizard on the map doesn't respond.

If Flame Lizard is an informed ecology, it should be attacked in reaction to non-homogeneous magic. In my case, it's "exorcism", so I can't sense magic. So does Night Rat.

But I don't think it's 'exorcism' until those threesomes - why aren't they attacked?

We followed the trio at a sufficient distance, and the other side of the top began to fall within the range of the sound collecting sensors -.

What you hear is bipedal footsteps, which are a lot of people too - something doesn't feel right.

Stop chasing, take the RQ-11 raven of the drone out of the inventory again, and let it rise high in the sky. First, lock the flame lizard that the threesome carries.

Now you can see a red frame in your vision that informs you of its location and see where it will be carried at any time.

Overtake the threesome and look down from above in Caldera for the Lord of Footsteps.

Inside Caldera was covered in deeper greenery than outside. However, if you look down in FLIR (Infrared Thermography) mode, capture the heat source and display it in red. From the gap between the branches, a large number of red heat sources were seen.

What a number......

Switch to NV (Night Vision) mode and you won't be wrong to look at it. It was the white beast race that stood within Caldera, and it was not one or two. Continue reconnaissance as you swirl through the ravens, screen capture and save the footage that the ravens show.

"... retreat."

The number of white beast races is beyond grasp. Proceed inside Caldera and you will be surrounded instantly. If you shoot all of them, you can escape, but I don't know if the demon stones can be collected from them.

Neither a normal warcraft nor a subrace. I don't even know if it's an overflowing existence by a labyrinth rampage (stampede) - no, I just think it's something that doesn't apply to all of that.

We need to gather information. We need to transfer to Big Sheep once and find out about that white beast race. Plus, I'm worried about that threesome I saw at the dock.

He retrieved the Raven and returned to the stronghold he had built on Rock Mountain, summoned LVTP-5, which laid a magic formation that tied him to Big Sheep, and transferred him to a rented warehouse in Big Sheep.

I'd like to start gathering information immediately, but the time is still before dawn. Big Sheep is still covered in deep darkness, and no one to ask should wake up.

Besides, we may not be able to get any more information around this bigsheep than there was nothing in the information we got from Sierra about the white beast race.

Another set of transfer magic formations was set up in the lending warehouse and now transferred to a trading vessel of the Marida Chamber of Commerce anchored in the Gulf of Amar.

Coming back to Amar doesn't change the time being late at night. I have a few more days until the date and time I set for the next contact committee, but I will keep each attribute demon stone collected so far in the barn.

Later, by dawn, various considerations were carried out assuming Labyrinth Island as a single mission map, including a retrospective of previous battles on Labyrinth Island, a scrutiny of points efficiently tailoring the warcraft encountered and advantageous positioning on the island.

And the next morning, in front of the front door of the Zepernell residence, he captured Prime Minister Ashley and Zepernell, who would be attending the command post of the Amar convoy.

"Schwartz!"

"Morning, Ashley."

"It's an early return, isn't it? Is something wrong?

"Yeah, actually, there's a warcraft I'd like the Chancellor to see -"

Ashley went to the command post because of a morning meeting I couldn't take off, but the Chancellor made time to listen to me.

He floated a screen monitor of the TSS at the mansion's salon and showed the white beast race he had been aerial photographing on Labyrinth Island.

"... what kind of 'skills' is this? No, leave that..."

Chancellor Zepernell sinks himself into the couch placed in the salon, poking the screen monitor floating in front of him with his thin, white fingertips, as he gazes at the appearance of the beast race being shown.

"... your face is small and you don't see it very well, but you've seen this face many times in Kurt Merga, haven't you?

"Yes - if you move your fingers like this, you can zoom in on the image"

"Ho, it's grown!

Chancellor Zepernell cleverly zoomed in and out of the image, confirming each and every white beast race with one fingertip, but gradually the grin of his curiosity disappeared, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Not yet... before we founded Kurt Melga..."

Prime Minister Zepernell and the Founding King's party were traveling towards a labyrinth born on a certain coastline. But what they saw there - a bunch of warcraft attacking the labyrinth.

One warcraft was forming in front of the labyrinth, sending numerous families into the labyrinth, attacking the creatures of nature - people and animals - that inhabit the surrounding area.

Large Insect Shaped Warcraft - Empress Ant. Later, it was a warcraft to be designated as the first first-degree dangerous warcraft in the Kurt Melga kingdom.

Empress Ant is a large ant type warcraft, but its characteristic is in the abdomen so enlarged that it is impossible to walk independently. In addition to taking in people, animals, subraces and warcraft as nutrients, replicate their abilities and appearance to lay eggs.

This spawning capability is the only capability Empress Ant has, other than this, it doesn't even have combat capability.

But it is the juvenile body produced that is the greatest means of attack, possessing the ability to replicate nutrients in addition to the natural capacity of the juvenile body, giving it some freedom to unleash them - the aim of which is to secure food.

Empress Ant is an appetizing warcraft. Prime Minister Zepernell ate and crushed numerous cities, even if he only knew, and devoured and destroyed several labyrinths. It took in a number of great magic stones (dungeon cores) and further evolved and continued to grow its existence as a species.

"So you're saying this white beast race is its toddler body?

"The traits are similar… this toddler is as troublesome as Empress Ant. Using a technique called" pseudomorphism, "the body smells like demons emanating from the body, causing those around it to see and hear hallucinations, falsify themselves, and alert them."

"Look... False"

"That's right. When he was there, the simulation didn't work, so I was able to chase the toddler body... but after it became impossible, I couldn't find a place inside... 300 years have passed."

Body demon odor is a magical scent. For this reason, neither me nor the Founding King, who is a 'demon loose', could get through that pseudonym.

Originally, I knew that in several encounters that threesome looked like someone else besides me. It was also possible to predict that magic was acting in some way there, but - I didn't know it was the creature of the Warcraft.

"But...... I have seen the same face as this white beast race many times within the Kurt Melga kingdom, are they young creatures too? It's not white, is it?

"That explains it, too. Unlike Empress Ant puppets, toddlers have a certain willingness. And as we hunt repeatedly to feed our parents, we evolve into adults… so we can gain freedom as one warcraft and nest."

"Why not... it sounds like a labyrinth, including the features of Empress Ant..."

"Exactly - that's the most troublesome thing about him. Travel in search of food and escape if you perceive danger. And then you're going to lay off your toddler body and eat it and vandalize it."

The whole body of the toddler body is white, and they say that doesn't change either the beast race or the warcraft. But when you're an adult, the color changes. It is the Prime Minister's expectation that the threesome seen in the Kingdom of Kurtomerga will be its evolved adult.

The actions of adults who have gained their freedom are attracted to the last action they were taking. Labyrinth hunting becomes an adventurer, protecting Empress Ant becomes an escort mission, and bait hunting becomes a craving for meals.

The threesome, a longer-lived warcraft than the universal or the beast race, would have moved in unconscious pursuit of them.

He gave one answer about the white beast race and immediately returned to Labyrinth Island to make sure of it. I have the idea of a place - a labyrinth that should exist in the heart of Cresta - lurking in the 'Labyrinth of the Crater' I guess.

We need to hunt it down - Empress Ant is the only way out of the way in facilitating demon stone collection.
