77 Episode 77: Ruins and Chimeras

"Okay, I'm coming!

Everyone in Camp II hails Mr Liseau's declaration.

"I'm expecting a souvenir!

"Don't be alone!

After the battle with the Anthraptors, we decided to take enough rest before embarking on the search for the ruins.

We are the S-rank adventurers and several A-rank adventurers serving as escorts to the entrance to the ruins.

Among them was Mr. Liliera.

We'll protect Mr. Rex until the entrance to the ruins.

Mr. Liliera punches the spear stone poke to the ground in a temper.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Liliera"

This was a consideration that we S-rank adventurers should not waste so much power because the search for the interior of the site is our main concern.

And the rest of them were on the run to escort the second camp, dismantle the defeated anthraptors, and further strengthen the camp's defenses.

They also have a lot to do for people who are not directly involved in site exploration.

◆

"Ha!"

"Shit!

The escort adventurers crusade the demons on the road.

"Sai!"

Mr. Liliera also defeats the demons with a series of quick spear thrusts.

"You're the boulder boy's partner. You're no better than my people, spears."

And Roddy lauds Liliera with a smile.

"Thank you. I'm sure Liliera would love that."

"Well, my partners haven't lost either. Well, this time I turned to the camp escort."

It seems that Roddy's party members were unable to participate in this escort because they were running to reinforce their treatment and camp.

"Man, it's a shame you can't retrieve it when you say you've crusaded a demon with a high corner rank"

"You won't have a choice. Our job is to escort the S-rank team. If you want to recover the material, you're going home."

"I hope the other demons don't eat me till then."

Unfortunately, the adventurers of the escort are unable to retrieve the demons they defeated.

It takes time to dismantle the demon.

That's why I was told that we were behind in collecting demonic material that we defeated to prioritize escort duty this time.

By the way, Mr. Liliera only kept the demons she had defeated properly in a magic bag for herself.

I'm curious that you didn't retrieve everyone's demons, but maybe there's some reason to be Mr. Liliera there.

◆

After that, he continues to travel through the cave while being attacked by many demons.

And about half an hour after I started exploring, I finally reached the site I was looking for.

"There are truly ruins in the basement..."

The ruins are covered in white exterior walls and decorations can be seen by the way.

Because of the familiarity with its design, it is probably a relic of an age close to the time I lived in my previous or previous life.

But why did you bother making it underground?

"Then we head to the site survey. Gentlemen, take care and go home."

"Yeah, take care of yourselves"

"Don't be too obsessed with collecting demonic material on your way home."

He said, "I know."

Mr. Lissoe and the escort adventurers make light jokes and exchange farewell words.

"Take care of yourself, Mr. Rex."

Mr. Liliera comes with a worried face to say goodbye.

"Well, if it's Mr. Rex's strength, it might be an extra favor."

"That's not true. But I'm so glad you're worried."

Because in the past life and previous generations, no one worried about me personally, even if someone worried about losing their power as a wise man or a hero.

I'm just so happy about that.

"Hey, let's go home -!

An escort adventurer calls Mr. Liliera.

Then I'll be back.

"Take care, Mr. Liliera,"

"Yes."

That's how Mr. Liliera and the others go home.

"Then suppose we work too!

Mr. Roddy lifts his voice so as to change his mood.

"Shut up, sunny storm, we're going to explore the unknown ruins, so why don't we be quiet? I don't know what's in there."

"This is rude."

Mr. Lisaw scolds Mr. Roddy for shouting out loud, but it looks like Mr. Roddy at the time is not reflecting much.

"In exploratory magic I feel numerous demonic reactions around the entrance. This is the only demon with an A-rank average. This is bone from the beginning."

And when Mr. Ramies tells him of the information obtained by exploratory magic, Mr. Liseau grins with a niggle.

"I don't have a choice. Try to force me to break in."

I mean, it's because it helps.

◆

"Sorry to bother you!

With all due respect, Li Soo with two big fangs jumps into the ruins with his gains in his hands.

The demons in sight noticed this way and turned around, but suddenly they suffered screaming.

The reason for this is because of the magic of the powerful lights unleashed by the Heavenly Devil's guide to float behind him.

What happens if demons who make dark places their territory and rely on a tiny bit of light to live suddenly have a strong light?

The answer is, this is how the light burns your eyes and temporarily loses your eyesight, right?

"All right, I'm going through it! Clear storm, my lord! Big time eaters and celestial guides are backup!

I storm two swords like a pig's horn in front of me.

The linear demons don't even know what's going on and blow up under the assault of my partner, Double Big Fang.

Some die as they are, some survive.

But the stops don't sting.

Due to the high number of demons, it is just not possible to deal with all the opponents.

Just because you're an S-rank adventurer doesn't mean you're tough on bullshit.

The trick to living longer is to instantly identify and move who you don't fight.

Some of the demons who dodged my advance will fight back instantly.

Good reaction while enemies.

He bites me from the side I walk through to the arm, but an attack like that would make it impossible to pierce my protection.

"I'll give it back!

When I waved my black fangs and cut the demon under one knife, I put up my sword again and resumed the rampage.

I don't care about my damage.

If you have to, there is a Virgin.

My role is to storm and clear the way.

"Mm?"

If you look forward, a dozen demons are blocking the way.

Just how hard is it to break through an array?

"Spiral Rain!"

Then a voice of celestial guidance sounds from behind, and dozens of water crushes pierce the demons as they spin at high speeds.

"Good job!

He's a little difficult, but he's a man who can do his job.

Seeing as an opportunity for the demons' walls to collapse with their magic, I jump into the herd of demons as I wield two great swords.

Demons fall further into assaults that don't care about counterattacks.

"Shh!

Then a big eater cuts off a shallow demon from the side to cover him.

It's quite a business because you cut the demon into one sword with that thin sword.

It helps because it was just me and the Virgin and the Devil's Guide were going to be attacked when they broke through.

And I saw a door before I broke through the demon wall.

"Holy Virgin! If you go through that door, put up a line to avoid demons!

I'll take care of it.

And then I get to the goal, and I roll inside with my sword swinging down, opening the door instantly.

I am a violent ambush measure.

But apparently there was no ambush.

On the contrary, this place was not indoors.

The ceiling I had seen until earlier is not there, and the dark darkness is spreading.

And I see dirt at my feet.

"Did you go through the building and get out on the other side of the cave?!?"

"Lord! Holy blessing! Fieldwall!"

Then the Virgin who came in puts up a line to avoid demons.

"All right, let's go!

When I make sure all the people following me from behind have rolled into the junction, I close the door in a hurry.

And once I had ascertained that the sight of the demons coming after me had been blocked, I hurried into the kingdom.

"Clear storms, big eaters are on perimeter alert! The Heavenly Demon Guide uses exploratory magic to explore the reaction of the chauffeur of the room!

If you break through the door and come in, you won't be able to find us.

All we have to do is sit tight in the junction until the demons give up looking for us.

But strangely, there was no sign that the demons would break the door.

On the contrary, it doesn't even sound like a knock on the door.

When I'm suspicious, the devil's guide snaps my neck.

"What's up?

"Weird, the demons suddenly turned back"

What's this all about?

Are you saying that our territory is the only one in the building?

Well, that would help.

◆

We made sure it was safe for a while, and we'll be looking around soon.

When I came in, the lights only reached near the entrance, but now the magic of the lights lights lights all around me because there is a celestial guide.

"This is the courtyard...?

The doubtful shape is because there wasn't a single grass growing there.

There are just cobblestone-laid paths on the ground and stone decorations that would probably have been implanted.

I'm sure there were many ancients here in a time when this ruin was not a ruin.

Most of all, now it's just desolate and has its remnants.

"Whatever, let's take a break here."

Some of them would have been injured in an impossible assault, so let's just say we get the attitude right.

◆

"Speaking of which, Mr. Liseau's weapon is also a magic item, right?"

If the cure had taken a rest in the junction, the big eater would have said that.

"Well, did you notice?"

"Earlier, Mr. Liseau was not wounded when he was bitten by a demon. Instead, I saw a fang crushed on the back of a black sword."

You look surprised.

"Exactly. This sword is a two-to-one magic item with two big fangs."

I will stop exploring and shake the black of the two swords.

"This black is the black fang, and the 10 fangs that grew from the back of the attack will replace me on the shoulder. Every time you take a single attack, your fangs crush, and once crushed, it takes a day to play one. Multiple fangs break at the same time when attacked too hard again"

And then the big white sword.

"The white one over here is White Tooth, and when attacking, he rides up the attack he has received so far and returns it to the target. If I use it right, it's my trump card."

Yes, this is the biggest secret I've ever survived as an S-rank adventurer.

Some people think it's cheating to rely on the power of tools, but this is an item I found in the lower level of the dungeon.

I mean, because I had the strength, I was able to get it.

I mean, the people who came after me mostly shut up when I said that back.

"... are you glad I told you that much?

You didn't think you could tell me that much, the big eater shows his surprised face.

Ha, I want to see this face, so I'll tell you.

"Never mind, these two big fangs are as big as they look. There are no humans who can grab two of them at the same time. One sword at a time doesn't make it worth it."

Yes, the reason I teach the abilities of two big fangs at all costs is because there are rarely any big swords that can handle two big swords at the same time.

With unusable magic items, it's hard for buyers to find them because even if they perform better, they just get more expensive.

So much so that the finesse is embellished on the walls of the noble mansion.

"Besides, you've never known more about your people than to fight at the same party, have you?

"That's true."

The big eater has nodded over and over again.

"Well, that's why I don't have to teach you my trump card. Yesterday's companions can be today's enemies. In my case, this was a good ticket to teach."

It's just harsh to tell a young man to expose his hands.

"Well, then you've recovered, and suppose it's time to go? If it's too late, the campers will be worried."

◆

"Ko, is this!?"

When we resumed our search, we decided to look for any doors in the courtyard to return from the other routes to the ruins.

You'll be less likely to encounter demons from another entrance.

But along the way, we came across an unusual sight.

It was a mountain.

But the mountain is not a mountain made of earth or rock.

It was a mountain made of golem.

"Is this... the remains of a stacked golem?

As the Heavenly Devil said, all the golems that were mountains were broken.

"It's like a graveyard in the Golem."

A clear storm jokes and says, but it doesn't even sound like a joke.

This sight was exactly like a graveyard.

It's as if the golems in this ruin gathered here to die.

Golem's body itself even looks like a grave marker.

"What the hell happened here..."

We were fascinated by this unusual sight.

"These golems are damaged, not swords or magical wounds."

And, in such an unusual air, the potpourri and the big eater squirm.

"What?"

"Look, these are bite wounds and scratches. It's like being attacked by some big creature."

So the golem that the big eater pointed to was engraved with a round hole where my arm was going to go in and a large nail trace that would have torn the torso of a golem the same size as a human.

Or if this is a scar with nails, how big is the Lord who inflicted that wound!?

"More importantly, this wound..."

A big eater sets aside for a beat and tells the facts of further shocks.

"It's relatively new."

"... what?

New? I mean...

"Considering the condition of the golem, it's a recent wound."

"Hey, what?!?"

It was then.

Wow wow wow wow wow!!

"" "" "Huh!?" ""

There is so much groaning going on all over the ruins.

It also sounded like a roar, but it didn't seem like the sound of a decent creature.

"Something's coming! What happened to exploratory magic!?"

"There wasn't! I've never had such a huge reaction before!?"

The Heavenly Devil's Guide speaks like a scream.

You're saying there's something right next to this guy messing up this far!?

"Coming!

I gave it back to me in a big fool's voice, and I set up my hands to prey.

Some fangs have been broken in earlier battles, but they are still there.

Even if they were dragons, they'd still have time to get away.

The vibrations are approaching this way.

Looks like they're totally grasping this one over there.

Creepy intimidation looms from beyond the darkness.

And I saw it.

its blasphemous appearance.

"Hih!?"

To the very ugliness of the sole, the Virgin screams.

Sole had a giant lizard torso.

Its front foot was the foot of the beast, and its rear foot was the foot of the bird.

The tail had an eyeless snake growing on the tip, with occasional glimpses of a bright red three-day moon-like mouth.

Scaled arms stretch multiple times from the back like tree branches.

And the head was extremely unusual.

An adorable cat-like face at first glance.

However, both eyes have fangs like goose eels, and both ears have gourmet eyeballs.

There are different beast legs growing from the mouth, and that creeps.

It was a monster of physiological aversion, as if God had created the wrong parts to install.

Kruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

Naturally, it is impossible to make a decent noise with such a mouth.

Sole was groaning nauseously.

"What are you..."

Obviously not a normal creature.

Even the ugly warcraft said to have been created by the Evil God was in a slightly more decent form.

So much so that the presence in front of us was in a messy shape.

"... that's a chimera"

In the meantime, the big eater shrugged small.

"Chimera? Is that you?!?"

Chimera, that's the name of an ancient civilized creature made of multiple organisms.

From the Church to which the Virgin belongs as an insult to the life created by God, it is abhorrent in a different sense from the undead and so forth.

"Yeah, I'm not a proper creature shaper. It's obviously a chimera created in bad faith by someone."

The big eater assures me.

Rather enough to reassure me of that assertion.

It can't be good that such an unusual being exists naturally.

That's how unusual I was.

urolo swia ea ea

I shake my forelegs as the chimera rises up a strange roar that I don't even think is roaring.

"All scattered!!"

Three people move in response to my voice.

But only one Virgin missed her escape.

"Shit!"

When I push the Virgin, I get a chimeric claw with black teeth.

With the power of Black Fang, you can withstand a few shots no matter how strong the Chimera attack is!

A chimeric nail comparable to my black tooth hits the black tooth.

I killed the nail impact as best I could while flying back and tried to return the attack there with white teeth.

"Avoid it!

To the imminent voice of a clear storm I stop the attack and jump further back.

Shortly afterwards, my body was blown straight to the side.

I felt it wasn't a direct hit from the feel.

But I still get the pain of my body about to be torn apart.

A blown body hits the ground and bounces.

I thought it would fly everywhere as it was, but by hitting the mountain of wreckage of the earlier golem, I was able to stop.

It just hurts the wreckage of the fallen golem.

"Sorry, I'll recover!

The Virgin soon recovers from the magic.

The pain keeps my body from moving, apparently it's pretty badly wounded.

Move your eyes and look at the black fangs in your hands.

I want to compliment myself for not dropping it.

"Become!?"

Somehow, all the fangs on the back of the black fangs are broken.

This means that all the Black Fang protection was taken in the earlier attack.

Dude, one of these fangs prevents a B-rank demon attack!?

Does that mean his blow is for a few B-rank demons, probably more than A-rank demons?

And this wound despite all that damage being done to me by Black Fang?

You would have died without the Virgin.

Now Clear Storm and Big Eater are in tow and the Heavenly Guide is magically attacking them.

But the flesh of the chimera regenerates from the end of the heavenly demon's powerful magic.

"What is this playback capability!?"

"I think he's probably using Hydra or some kind of regenerative demon on his torso. So, didn't that cause the flesh to grow abnormally and become such a monster?

"Big guy eating, you know how to chimera too!?"

He looks happy despite the fact that the Heavenly Demon Guide is in battle.

Damn it, his knowledge idiot is in trouble because he doesn't pick a place.

"If you're going to exorcise Hydra, burning the wound is the basics. Clear storm, big man eating, I'll burn it, so don't you guys loosen your horn attack hands on the rabbit!

"Okay!

"Okay!

The Heavenly Demon Guide unleashes the magic of restraint, and clear storms and big eaters head for the chimera.

Well, if you hit him once, there's no life.

"Wait, guh!

I tried to raise my voice to the two of you to watch out for the attack, but the pain kept me from making all sorts of noises.

"Please remain at rest now. Because it's pretty deep!

The Virgin scolds me for trying to move.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear it's my job to be a party wall and open up the situation.

Besides, they were already fleshy to the chimera.

I just had to wish him and the others well when this happened.

"Ha!"

Even though Clear Storm cut off Chimera's thick forefoot, just a few slices of thick fur didn't make it an effective hit.

"What's his fur! Like iron!?"

It seems the chimeric fur was harder than expected, and the sunstorm screams.

Olow Aqua Eoaaaaaaaa!!

Even though the forelegs of the angry voiced chimera sweep away the two, they dodge it without difficulty.

But at the same time, a branched arm on the back strikes both of them.

You're the one who attacked me!

Simultaneous attack by multiple arms stretched like branches from the back, which was the identity of the attack that rendered the black fangs unusable in one blow.

"Avoid..."

No, I still don't have a voice.

"Sonic Lancer!!"

Some of the arms that struck the clear storm with the magic of the Heavenly Demon are blown away, and the clear storm manages to avoid it successfully.

However, the big eater could not be supported by the Heavenly Demon because he avoided it in the opposite direction from the clear storm.

This eats a series of simultaneous attacks until the Big Man is eaten!

Besides, he doesn't have black fangs, unlike me.

Immediate death would have been assured had we been subjected to this inevitable attack.

"Physical Boost!!"

At that time, the body of the big eater blew.

"Huh!?"

And incredibly, didn't the Big Eater's arm stretch in all directions at the exact same time, slitting all the branching arms of the chimera!?

"Become!?"

What happened, there are no other words.

"Mr. Ramies! Bake it!

"Huh!? f, Flame Blast!!"

The devil's guide, who returned me to the words of the great eater, unleashes magic, and one of the branched arms of the chimera is burned.

Curorola quaquaqua qua!!

Chimera suffers from a metal stinging disgusting scream.

"Not yet!"

Big guy eating jumping in again.

"Melding Sword!!"

When the thin sword of a big eater is wrapped in a blue and white shaking light, it cuts like a chimeric foot.

I can't, such a thin sword attack can effectively hit steel fur that protects the forefoot...

And that's who I thought I was, but the big eating sword cleaves the left forefoot of the chimera as if it were even cut with cheese, and it rips it straight up to the back foot.

The two legs on the left side are severed and the chimera falls out of balance.

"Become!?"

I cut off Chimera's leg with one blow that was no good even in a clear storm!?

His sword is quite a business, too!?

What the hell kind of price can I use to cut that way!?

It's called a strange attack with more than one arm appearing earlier, it's called an immediate attack, is this a sword move!? Or is it magic?!?

I thought about that, but I look at the amputated surface of the chimera's leg and I remember that it's not the same.

As it is, the severed leg plays back.

Burn the wound, Tendemon!

I was in such a hurry, but I'm surprised Chimera's legs don't show any signs of regeneration.

"What are you talking about?"

And I realize.

The cutting surface of the foot of the chimera is burnt.

And that the sword of the great eater is shining blue and white.

That brilliance must be enchant-based magic.

With that magical effect, you must have burned the chimeric wound at the same time.

If I hadn't seen it from a place so far away, I wouldn't have noticed.

"What a strength"

Normal magic swordsmen are halfway through strength.

If you prioritize sword moves, there is no magic, and vice versa, the sword is immature.

But both the big food-eating techniques were first-rate, no, super-class.

The chimera uses the remaining branch arms to make multiple attacks from all surroundings, but gently avoids them.

This is how I can tell because I keep my distance and watch the battlefield, but there was no body brace in his movements.

If we lose the human balance, the movement becomes unnatural.

Simultaneous attacks like the one we have now are even worse.

But even when the big man was out of balance, his movements were never jeopardized.

Probably wouldn't have noticed that anomaly if we had fought together on the side.

"Come on!

And the big eater burns the body of the chimera one after the other.

Clear storm and the Heavenly Demon guide will cover it, but as you can see from the hatch, it was a useless cover.

And shortly afterwards, Chimera's body was split beautifully.

"Phew... Oh, were you okay, Liso?

The big eater who relieved the tension by knocking down the chimera waves at me.

The figure is a sole of innocent newcomers.

"Oh man, am I still immature too..."

Recently, he was alarmed that even if an enemy attack hit him, Black Fang could protect him.

The result is different.

I was made to realize that I was relying too much on magic items unconsciously.

"Though... I don't feel like I can train to see that move"

You can't normally make moves that look like a bunch of hands are growing.
