123 Lesson 122

When you reach the entrance to the mine, you feel strange heat. Unlike a common mine, this mountain seems to be volcanic, with magma flowing in the back. It was also natural to impose mountaineering regulations because of the environmental stringency and even more demons.

"It's better than when I was here."

Antogal is looking up at his face with his hands, saying so.

"Sure, the temperature's a lot higher."

"Well, I've read about volcanoes in books, but I've never been here before, so I'm looking forward to it."

Aotearoa and Deena, while saying so, had not had a single sweat on their foreheads.

"... you guys must be using some kind of cooling tool, right? It's strange not to sweat at all."

There is a large amount of sweat on Antogal's forehead like that.

"I use water and wind magic to regulate the temperature."

"Me too, with the power of Mr. Spirit and Andine..."

When Antogal looked closely around them with an astonishing look, he saw the magic drifting and the air slackening.

"Something's off! I'm hot, I'm patient, and you can magic me, too."

Antogal, who is not good at magic manipulation, can't stand the fact that he is the only one feeling hot, and he raises his voice to shrink at the two of them.

"Oh man, I can't help it. Do you want to cut this off for weapons too... wait a minute"

Aotearoa stuck her hand in the magic bag and when she took the cloak of water attributes out of the sub-empty vault, she gave it to Antogal.

"This can be used without magic. The equipment itself carries the magic of water. This isn't entirely true, but it should be more than just now."

"Oh, thanks. That would help... oh, wow, that would be great."

When Antogal wears his cape, he feels the heat subside until earlier and exasperates.

"When the magma gets closer, it may not work very well but it still reduces the heat"

"Whoa, enough. There's a difference between heaven and earth."

We were able to clear the heat issue, so we set foot inside the mountain cave. No demons were visible around the entrance, but just like that, ore was taken around here, and no ore was found anywhere.

"All the ore in the safe place is taken, so we need to go deeper..."

Antogal says as he looks behind the aisle.

"You've got a lot of magic in here, I remember some of this feeling"

Aotearoa remembered a dark place of magic vegetables he had visited before.

"That's not a very pleasant place..."

The Elves, sensitive to magical currents, of which Deena is highly sensitive, make her complexion slightly worse to the anomaly of this place.

"Deena, keep this on so you don't get magically drunk. It should be a little easier."

Aeta, who sees how it is, takes out the devil-resistant bracelet and makes Deena wear it.

"Thank you...... you can do this"

Around the bracelet, the membrane of magic resistance covers the entire body, and Deena's expression returns to normal.

"Okay, then let's get to the back. You shouldn't stay too long."

When Aotea confirms that Deena's condition has improved, she speaks to the two of them and leads the way.

Antogal also had weapons at his disposal, but he follows the two nervously as to whether he has less combat experience.

"Hey. You don't have to go too far back.

"If you can take the ore, that's fine... maybe they've picked up everything in a safe place, right?

Aotearoa answers Antogal, but goes back without stopping that leg.

"That's right..."

Antogal drops his shoulder plainly.

"It's okay, don't worry, when it's a fight, me and Mr. Sota will fight. You saw the battle earlier, and you understood my power, didn't you? Sauta is strong enough that I have a few of them."

Deena encourages such a powerful grip on Antogal.

The three of them move on to the back with such interaction. There were also a few times on the road when demons attacked them, but they were nevertheless low-ranking demons and there was nothing like mountaineering regulations. After several battles, he eventually made it to the place he opened it. It is a circular square, with magma flowing on its walls.

"Oh, come on, there's a strong demon on this level."

"Ko, this is..."

…………

The three of them marvel at the sight in front of them. Aotearoa made a frightened voice, and Deena stopped speaking, and she couldn't even speak with her mouth open if she was in Antogal.

There he was, a giant dragon wrapped in flames around him. Seeing that dragon, a sense of fear and despair springs up in Deena and Antogal's mind. But Aeta was staring at the foot of the dragon. It was the knight in black armor who was there.

Aotearoa was no surprise there because if he were a dragon, he would still be fighting in the past and since he was re-summoned. But the black armor is familiar, and the expression is harsher on the heterogeneity of the magic that resides in it.

"Hey, that guy sucks. I've fought the same type of one in the past, that armor is hollow, but its power changes according to the ability of the armor on which it is based, and it should be strengthened when it is further demonized. And that armor looks familiar"

The name of this demon was Living Armor, and I had a bad feeling Aeta was not the enemy I feared so much, usually, but the armor on which it was based.

"Hey, what armor is that?

Deena also notices the anomaly of the knight in that armor and asks Ethereum a question.

"I don't know the official name, but the one I was using was the one near the Demon King who got into conflict with Laugo."

To the words, Deena and Antogal shook themselves.

"Besides, it was supposed to have been damaged in Laugo's attack, and it doesn't look like it either. You must be in complete condition...... that one is strong. Besides, there's that dragon on that side... we need to deal with him at the same time. Can you do it?"

Deena wanted to answer Ethereal's question instantly, but she swallows the answer for a moment. Comparing the powers of demons, perhaps Ethereum will be the opponent of the knight of armor. When that happens, Deena inevitably ends up dealing with dragons by herself. I couldn't answer immediately because of that.

"I had no choice, I didn't really want to fight, but I'll do it too"

Antogal said so with a ready look.
