Chapter 33: Day 281 ~ 285

* * *

Day 281

Since starting the conquest of 【Blue Roses Zoo Park】, I felt that the condition of my body had somehow improved.

At first I thought that it was only me, but when I asked Kanami and Avenger's company, all the members said they were also in excellent condition. If it was only one demon it could be a misunderstanding, but when all of us are affected there must be a cause.

When considering the cause, the first thing that came to mind was the sweet fragrance of the various roses that wafted in the surroundings since the beginning.

As expected, since the 【Demigod of Roses】 created this 【Age of the Gods Dungeons】, a great variety of roses grew wildly here.

Come to think of it, the different types of roses that I can see here easily surpasses 100.

There are many dungeon monsters with appearances and traits related to roses. The flowers hidden in the shade that couldn't be seen which I could perhaps spot if I bothered to look at it all in closer detail means even more varieties could be found I guess.

Possibly the number of them I recognize may even double, simply put there are a lot of roses here.

Then, along with the aroma of the different roses that are sweet and refreshing, it wouldn't be strange for some to have effects like providing a restful sleep or stamina recovery.

If the ambient smell was influencing the quality of our physical and mental conditions at this time, it would explain our current condition.

In that case however, as opposed to improving someone's conditions while they breathed the air in, it's a little strange for them to not have a poisonous aroma mixed in.

In fact I can confirm that there are several species of poisonous dungeon monsters.

It cannot be that there are only fragrances that help improve the physical condition of the challengers, it's unlikely to think the 【Demigod of Roses】 who would be in trouble if the dungeon was so easily conquered would do so.

In the first place, I do not think I would have the confidence that the dungeon could not be conquered if I was in the situation of the 【Demigod of Roses】, thus it would be appropriate to mix in aromas that hindered the condition of conquereres along with the ones that improved it.

Even in the case that there weren't originally any roses with such an aromatic effect, it's hard to think that the 【Demigod of Roses】 would be unable to create a new species.

However in reality, our bodies are in good shape and without any sign of negative effects presentsly.

Maybe we were fortunate and were only moving in the areas where fragrances of those kinds could not affect us, however the chances of that are low.

Alternatively, the aromas of the Abnormal State (Bad Status) group may be weak while being many in number.

Well, it's simple to think about for myself who has [Abnormal State Nullification] and as for Kanami-chan, [Abnormal States] are incredibly poor against her race. Since the [Hero of Sunlight] Avenger and the four people part of his [Vice-Important Figures] have various tolerances stronger than an ordinary person, the effect is thin, I suppose it is such a thing.

Since there's no time to examine it any further I'll stop thinking deeply about it now and at any rate, the comfort here isn't bad.

If there is the ability to repulse the dungeon monsters here that are stronger than those in the outside world, the scenery here is beautiful, the water that's so pure its crystal clear is delicious, you're healed by the clean air with the sweet smell of roses mixed in, the place is like a rich, natural resort.

Without being troubled by natural phenomena such as typhoons and earthquakes because it is a labyrinth, it seems like I could leisurely pass the time away here.

--It's decided.

When I conquer and obtain this place at daybreak, I've decided to build a health resort for exclusive use by the general firm (mercenary group) Parabellum.

This environment looks good for when one wants to temporarily forget the brutal everyday life.

The dropped items that can be obtained here will be very useful in various ways.

The aromatic oil, aromatic candle, rose tea, and rose jam that can be processed from the roses will certainly sell well and it seems like it'll become one of the main axes (weapons) of our business.

Not only is it stable and can be put up for sale in newly established stores in various places, if I make use of mass production through an undead factory using Black Skeletons, I can put up products of the highest quality on sale for royalty, nobles, and wealthy merchants, even achieving a brand wouldn't be a dream either.

While I was thinking about all sorts of details, incidentally, I remembered that the fruit of a rose could be used as an ingredient for liquor such as rosehip liqueur.

Although there are other necessary materials besides the fruit of a rose such as a sealed bottle, distilled liqueur, and sugar crystals, it is still a liqueur that can be brewed relatively easily.

--Liqueur made by my own hands, I want to drink it by all means.

Such thoughts sprang out.

In fact, these days, not only buying it from shops and collecting the labyrinth liqueur from labyrinths, wouldn't it be good to start producing it myself too? I started to think of such things.

There was no time because of the hectic work of my past life and the law was also an obstruction that stopped me from trying, but I somehow became able to in this world.

For the time being, though, there's the feeling that there's a prohibition against illegally brewed liqueur, isn't Princess Tomboy part of the royal family? Although I don't want to rely on them too much, I would easily get permission even if I ask the First Queen.

If there's permission, not only at our base in the Great Forest, we could produce it with dignity in the mansion at the kingdom's capital.

Fortunately, among our comrades there are several people with the knowledge and experience of brewing liqueur.

Those being the elves. Members of the clans who made the elven liqueur appeared, although I did not intend to take them in the past troubles, they mixed in with us.

Perhaps I should say the elves in question seemed to work as assistants in the process, the skill of elves that live a long time gain mastery equal to the amount of time they spent, the knowledge was also abundant.

Although a 【Job】 revision is not provided, it seems like I can still expect satisfactory results.

However, I understand that to brew a high quality liqueur, good quality materials are needed, multiple years would also be necessary, a lot of failures will be experienced repeatedly before we succeed.

Although I hesitated whether to go through the trouble because of all the time it would take, the time to make a decision seems to have come.

--Alright, let's start making it in earnest.

It was a lucky day that I was able to make up my mind, I immediately contacted Princess Tomboy through the ear cuff. When I explained the circumstances and applied for permission, it was accepted with an immediate response.

As expected of Princess Tomboy, the footwork is light.

While feeling admiration, a souvenir was asked for. It seemed like Boy Knight's birthday was nearing, so she seemed to want first class equipment from a labyrinth.

Because she was helpful, I consented and finished with out communication.

Good grief, Princess Tomboy was prudent as usual, I couldn't stop myself from smiling wryly.

At any rate, when it was decided to brew liqueur just now, one more reason to absolutely conquer this place was added.

Although it's bad for the 【Demigod of Roses】, shall I plunder it without mercy? For the sake of brewing liqueur of the highest quality.

The liqueur made by one's own hands will be delicious, setting aside the growing delusion, while thoroughly enjoying the breakfast using the drop items I obtained yesterday, let's organize all the matters which quickly increased.

First of all, it's about Gladiator King who obtained 【Gladiator Demon】.

Gladiator King, because of the strengthening and revision from the title 【Gladiator Demon】, the ability for battle greatly improves.

Especially, the rate of improvement in physical strength that's been forged through many years of training is distinctively higher than that of other people, the muscular strength that was improved from the past makes it possible to easily handle the heavy weapons he specializes at like a twig, overwhelming an enemy with attacks from a superior attack without allowing for retaliation.

In addition to this, he seems to have received the new ability 【Gladiator Demonization】.

The backlash is big when used, after the effect ends it becomes impossible to move according to the time it's in use, 【Gladiator Demonization】 temporarily raises the physical ability of a human body to a state more than equal to a 【Lord】, and to Gladiator King who had 【Gladiator】 and 【Grappler】 from the beginning, it was an ability with high level 【Job】 revisions added to it.

If it's hard to understand, he acquired the ability to become a [Chaos Species 【Mix Blood】], it can be thought of that way.

If he uses this, Gladiator King can temporarily become an existence in the same class as a 【Legendary Hero】.

However, to be honest, I did not think Gladiator King would be chosen to be part of the 【18 Demon Warlords】.

No, well, Gladiator King is a strong person among my subordinates, it's certain that he plays an active part as a teacher in combat for the children.

Because he is a believer in pure power, the loyalty to me who pinned him to the floor from the front was great, there's no worry of being betrayed--in the first place it's not possible because of my clones and 【Parasitism】--he is a capable subordinate.

Talking about his stance towards fighting, should I say he's fond of it, his body is in good agreement with his mind, the evaluation by his peers is not bad either, he's assimilated himself quite naturally.

I expect him to be a talented person who'll play an active part in the future crusade.

However, I still did not think he'd be chosen, it's my honest opinion.

But, well, it's fine. He's not a bad guy, there are no problems if he gets results. Let's just say that.

Thinking too deeply about it is useless.

Next, about 【Purgatory Sword】 which Fire Lord-kun obtained.

Fire Lord-kun, for a certain period of time, trained together with Wind Lord-san, and Illusion Lord-kun. I somewhat felt nostalgic for the time when I first left the Great Forest, let's set that aside.

It's not clear whether it was an opportunity due to my having personally guided him, or because the 【Fire Demon (Fire Lord)】 originally has a tendency for battle, since that time I found him training eagerly, achieving military results on the battlefield, and challenging labyrinth expeditions daringly and raising his level.

When going to challenge a labyrinth he often paired up with Wind Lord-san the 【Gale Demon (Gale Lord)】 and Illusion Lord-kun the 【Illusion Demon (Illusion Lord)】 with whom his relations are good, from having conquered a labyrinth at this time, the three demons simultaneously underwent 【Existence Evolution (Rank Up)】, however it seems only Heat Demon-kun obtained a title.

Although the possibility that Wind Lord-san and Illusion Lord-kun are part of the 【18 Demon Warlords】 strongly decreases, let's settle things first for the time being.

Fire Lord-kun who was a 【Fire Lord】 became a 【Blaze Lord - Subspecies】.

Wind Lord-san who was a 【Wind Lord】 became a 【Storm Lord - Subspecies】.

Illusion Lord-kun who was a 【Illusion Lord】 became a 【Vision Lord - Subspecies】.

When all three experienced 【Existence Evolution】 at this time, each respectively received a 【Demigod's Divine Protection】 and became a 【Subspecies】.

Unfortunately they did not seem to arrive at the 【Sovereign】 class, still there is no doubt they've become a powerful demon species.

The respective features of each have changed a little, what 【Divine Protection】 they get, since describing such trivial details would be troublesome, I'll omit it at this time.

As for Fire Lord-kun, just like Gladiator King, the straightforward ability for combat has improved.

Although he always forged himself through daily training, the synergy can be seen in his becoming a 【Flash Fire Demon】, which is superior in close quarters combat to a 【Scorching Demon】, being added with the reinforcement from the title, the racial limit of the 【Flash Fire Demon】 is exceeded, it seems he could reach for a stage above that of a 【Legendary Hero】.

And just like Gladiator King, he got a new ability called 【Purgatory Demon Sword】.

Heat Demon-kun's Demon Jewel (Orb) becomes a flamberge gushing flames when released, it becomes gigantic when 【Purgatory Demon Sword】 is used, and he enters a state where the flames he is clad in are strengthened.

Because he becomes just like a miniature sun in such a condition, if there is no 【Tolerance】 or 【Complete Tolerance】, it seems like it would be difficult to approach first.

Although there is the drawback of rolling up allies in it accidentally if used unskillfully, since you need only take measures beforehand, the convenience isn't so bad.

Anyway, the enhancement of the war potential to be used for the crusade is a happy thing.

Since I am happy, I'll send the other two demons items of quality as celebration. Because they often act together, the Magic Items for Intense Heat will be needed immediately.

And finally, the Five Demons Squadron that obtained 【Five Karma Demons】.

First of all, I began with being troubled about what to question these fellows on.

Why it is those five demons are treated as one, and so on. If the five demons aren't together will any limitations in ability occur, and so on? If one dies or there is even one demon missing from their number, does it become impossible to demonstrate an effect in unison, and so on.

Though I can think of various things, well, I'll set that aside.

The Five Demon Squadron also, just likes Heat Demon-kun and the others, experienced 【Existence Evolution】 upon obtaining the title.

The race the five demons became was 【Karma Demon (Karma) - Subspecies】.

To describe a 【Karma Demon】 briefly, it is not of the 【Demon Man (Lord)】 system but a higher species of the 【Big Demon (Ogre)】 system, it's such a thing.

With massive, muscular figures over 3 and a half meters, brutal features which can naturally frighten adversaries, the tough hair which grew down to the waist, and each individual possesses different living body weapons and living body protectors.

Although their forms are not compact like a Demon Man's (Lord), their physical strength seems to be considerably high in exchange.

Because the ability for magical power or intelligence improves for the two demons of the mage group, they seem to fall behind in physical ability to the other three demons but they still surpassed theaverage Demon Man.

The fighting techniques driven in to them up to now, it's certain that the ability for battle has improved greatly.

Additionally each one's body is dyed in their iconic colors of 【Red】, 【Blue】, 【Yellow】, 【Green】, and 【Grey】 making them easy to distinguish, there seems to be a slight difference in ability according to each color.

And like Gladiator King and Heat Demon-kun, the Five Demons Squadron attained a new ability.

It's called the 【Five Karma Squadron】.

When they activate it, the Five Demons Squadron have their whole bodies dyed in their symbolic colors and are equipped with a special living body protector of metallic armor added to a rubber suit.

As for the living body protector that covers the whole body without an opening, there seems to be something like a power assist system similar to the external skeleton I have, it seems to improve their physical performance even further.

Moreover their appearance, the design was somehow like the heroes that appear in a squadron.

Originally it could be said that they cared deeply for their companions, compassionate towards others, punishing evil doers, it was an appropriate ability for the Five Demons Squadron who had such characters.

It did not seem that they had a secret technique like a union attack or anything like that, I'll take the time to ask them about it at the next opportunity.

I compile the approximate information, arrange it, and switch my thoughts.

Although the Five Demons Squadron is an unusual case that hasn't happened before, since it makes little difference, I should continue.

Now then, once preparations are over, let's energetically continue our capture today.

The number of monument challenges we've cleared so far is 88. Although it's a considerably quick pace, the end is still farther yet.

To end it quickly and continue, let's begin clearing the simple tasks first.

Day 282

"Deliver 3 pieces [Aruman Roses]"

"Kill [Skunk Smelling Roses]"

"Deliver the roots [Pink Arbabesa], fiery spikes [Pink Knight], lunar drop [kertifii]"

"On the lake Anbar there was a wreck, there are growing "Anbararoshitora" and delivered it to the grave of the captain of the sunken vessel on the lake Anbar."

"In the area of the park Brustela, runs with [Red Pink Dragons], you must win."

"On the grave of my beloved, bring roses filled my senses. This is my last wish."

Setting monoliths were very different from the simple committed to nearly impossible.

Frankly, the job, like, kill some monsters or something more personal.

And although there are mixed monsters similar to floor field bosses, Avenger's team managed to cope.

But the delivery job was very problematic.

First, finding the necessary items among the foliage was very difficult.

I have [Analyze], because even as it copes without it, to quickly to conquer this place is not exactly will come out.

Secondly, to have prepare special magical items, give special creatures, train and so on.

It's certainly troublesome, but still there is nothing serious.

Much time is spent on the monoliths required to solve a particular puzzle, in such cases brute strength is no use.

Among them, those which respond to certain keywords are the simplest.

And what to do with tasks such as "On the grave of my beloved, bring roses filled my senses. This is my last wish" it was not clear.

In order to solve these puzzles, you need to look for clues in the stone tiles dropped from monsters in certain areas.

That in itself is time consuming.

The one who created this place the 【Demigod of Roses】, their head bolts is clearly lacking.

While it is true, this place is hard to conquer. Among the powerful head he thinks not all. Even saying, it is quite the right idea, in order to prevent the conquest of the dungeon.

But judging by the conquerors, the conversation will be different.

How to get to the dungeon? I will personally give him straightened. Of course, again, only the ruins remain, but this has nothing to do about it.

I so hate this dungeon, I was ready to give up as yet unknown taste to me .

That's just such a pace, we are behind schedule. We ought to speed up.

Day 283

Currently, spending a few days to conquer the number of monoliths passed 168 pieces. By creating a set of clones, using strong ability, I calculated that a total of 200 pieces.

That is, there are only 32 more pieces left.

Also among them are located quite far from the exit, monoliths with tasks like "Deliver 3 pieces [Sapphire Roses Fiery Star]," "In the area Armadroz bring an offering to the altar," and the like, a relatively simple tasks - 15.

"The parks Alice kill [the commander of the Knights of the Queen's roses]" or "Catch without killing mimic [Pink Rabbit Fugitive]". Tasks like this are little troublesome job that requires high level of combat power - 12 pieces

"Flaming rose wearing a kingfisher, a blue, should not bring the golden pot" (* Yes, yes it is direct and it is written ... *) "Mother of life, embracing the blue seeds, flowering before the ominous, does not disintegrate" (* see there also Hemp grows *) just such tasks to perform that, we must also understand what they are - 5 pieces.

Perhaps, in such circumstances, may best be acting on the basis of information received my clones.

Targets for the delivery performed using the most optimal routes. Before training for Avenger, I particularly did not interfere, but he had enough training, because their need to finish quickly .

Anyway, the time it took quite a few, and in the evening we completed the last task monolith.

After that, we heard the music as if to bless us. Echoes of it has been heard, it may be more likely to hear only those who carry out the task of monoliths. The music was just in my head.

Again thinking of useless things, together with the implementation of the last job the earth trembled and there was a sound "Gogogogogo..." Instead of standing up for us monolith appeared staircase leading to the boss room.

I admit, very theatrical. Going down the stairs bluish, made of silver metal, illuminated by glowing roses that were growing on the walls.

The staircase was much shorter than I expected. We went down a minute.

Along the way, we found the last place to rest and test equipment, just a few tens of meters in diameter, was then only a room where we waited dungeon.

Normally, we would have to rest, but we just ran past, throwing opens the gates, and went inside.

From the entrance straight ahead stretches stone paving of the road width of 4 meters.

Above it is located a few arches of roses, all the rest of the space is filled with red, white, yellow and purple roses separated by color.

Like a sea of roses. So it seems that just went down to the stone road, you can drown in this sea.

On the ceiling, the color of the night sky, like a star in the center, has a huge blue rose (probably the same type as in the city center), which emits blue light, than like the moon.

Illusion show.

Room boss width of approximately 300 meters and a height of about 100 meters. Not to say that it is very broad. Compared to the first floor here it seems to be very modest.

But apparently, to such an extent there was some reason. And the color of roses, like a fold in the picture, that interested me. Surely in this there is no any sense.

As I thought about it, we have raised the throne, made of huge blue rose, which sat dungeon.

Dungeon boss [Dark Blue Roses] [Empress Colors Blue Roses], incredibly beautiful, like Doriane-san, the Dryad.

Silver blue hair woven into braids, elegant tiara adorned with roses.

Her deep blue eyes and slightly sad a great person with a devilish [charm] on so strong that one look was enough in order to pull out of the human soul.

White soft skin on many tender that seems ready to melt under the touch, and dressed her gorgeous blue dress, decorated with ornaments, only emphasizes her charm.

The skirt, like an inverted blue rose, looked very cute, but at the same time gave the impression that underneath lies something quite unprecedented.

Frankly, she looks more like a flower princess than the Empress.

But being a dungeon boss, her skills are real.

Within a few seconds after we entered the room, she slowly and elegantly rose from her throne, in her hands, nowhere appeared the staff of blue roses, and in the room rang her beautiful voice.

The voice echoed throughout the room, along with the surrounding Rose began to move.

Gathering together, they began to forms a humanoid figure. [Pink Knights], we have them on the first floor already had seen enough.

Individual abilities are not so high, but there are already around 1,000.

Do not allow approaching the [Empress Colors Blue Roses], their lady, they are obliged to protect. Before we lined up the ranks of the Knights, hiding from view the [Empress Colors Blue Roses].

In addition, apparently depending on the color of pink knights appointment varies. Ahead of yellow lined rows of knights, carrying a huge shield which is bigger than their own size; then knights in red, armed with enormous spears, long under 5 meters, which they put forward through the gaps in the wall panels; purple knights, armed with bows and arrows in the back of the white knights with staffs and wands.

At the same time they are very coordinated, moving like a single organism.

Normally, to fight them is like trying to fight with an army.

But I do not care.

I would just like to quickly deal with all of this, because Kanami-chan and company stepped back, and I alone came forward.

Ignoring the lance aimed at me , I took the scarlet spear and put it in 10 times more mana in than is necessary to activate the [Army Bloody Scarlet Copies].

After that, the shape of the Crimson spears strangely beginning to change, while violent radiating glow.

Feeling the expected response, I began to pour more mana into it while I still adding to the accumulated part of [Divine Power].

Before that, following the same infusion mana [Calling Lightning Shark Rope] became [Demonic Shark Rope Thunder Dragon].

This time, I decided to do the same thing, but added another [Divine Power].

In the context of almost no difference, because the chance of success is quite high. Here, just at the moment when I added a [Divine Power], something unusual happened. In the center of the Crimson Spears sank like space.

Feeling high risk, Kanami-chan and company quickly retreated to the walls.

Space began to roll into the funnel, the dungeon itself began to crack at the seams.

Even if I just carried the spear in hand, doing nothing, all who just approached me, addictive.

Before such a distortion, as expected, pink knights apparently could not move.

It may sound strange if I say it myself, the mana is nothing, but to pour [Divine Power], I think I went too far...

It is interesting that all will be okay? Even I'm excited, looking at how a spear likes devouring the space.

Fortunately, a few tens of seconds, the phenomenon successfully completed.

At that moment in my head sounded an alert:

[Magical object of the 【Legendary】 Class of conditions [Arms of The Living God]]

[Magical items 【Legendary】 Class 【Starving Impaler of A Thousand Thorn (Kazıklı Bey)】 conditions of release the 【Use of a Living God】, 【Demonic Hammer of Living God】 【Transcendental Shipping] made】

[【Starving Impaler of A Thousand Thorn (Kazıklı Bey)】 becomes a magical object 【Phantasmal】 Class 【Device Istesannogo Fierce God, Thirsty Scarlet Spear Pole】]

Without thinking I took the highest grade subjects, in order to verify its capabilities.

Title: 【Device Istesannogo Fierce God, Thirsty Scarlet Spear Pole】

Classification: living god device / missile weapon

Grade: 【Phantasmal】 class

Ability: 【Bloody Feast thousands of Copies Fierce God (tsenpesshu.varudora)】 【Temple Thirst for Fresh Blood】 【Bearing ScarleDesperate Proclamation of The Kingdom (w? ruzepia.goshute)】 【The Two-Headed Dragon Source End Fierce God (tsuvarubu.geshupen)】【Heretical Retribution】 【Transformation of Divine Power】 【Pierce the Wicked】 【Equipment of the Living God】【"" ""】 【"" ""】 【"" ""】 【"" ""】

Note: 【Yatendouji】 as a subspecies 【Living God】 investing 【Divine Power】 in 【Starving Impaler of A Thousand Thorn (Kazıklı Bey)】 converts it into a magical object 【Phantasmal】 class 【Device Living God】.

This spear painted in a sinister scarlet piercing everything has many terrible abilities.

Only 【Yatendouji】 can touch it, or the one to whom he will allow.

Touching it without waiting for permission leed to unimaginable disaster.

As the 【Device Living God】, to destroy it for a special exception, is not possible.

Do you need more information?

［≪YES≫ ≪NO≫］

Everything seems clear, except for the [Device Living God], because I decided to click "Yes"

term: 【Device Living God】

Meaning: something that has created by a subspecies [Living God] extremely close to the [Divinity], investing his own [Divine Power] in a magical thing [Legendary] and higher class.

His abilities are on par with [Sacred Treasure], it contains a special ability and when certain conditions are clear capable of further improvement.

[Furious god] will be [Device Living God] and [Dragon God] will be [The Sacred Treasure of The Dragon God Dragolorda], depending on the race, the name will be different, but they are classified the same way.

All clear.

It is clear why the Scarlet Spear, becoming [Device Living God] now has became a sinister color of blood, the tip was now thicker and longer.

And at the base of decoration appeared in the form of an infinite dragon devouring its own tail.

Also, if you look good, his eyes move, and if you bring your finger, he might even try to bite. I do not live there, he.

In addition, there is a strange difference in the details, but let's leave that for now.

Once again taking shape, emitting an overwhelming presence of the Red Spear, I stuck it into the ground, putting enough manna, and activate abilities

[Activated hereditary unique ability to 【Thirsty Scarlet Spear Pole】 【Bloody Feast thousands of Copies Fierce God (tsenpesshu.varudora)】]

At the time of activation, it was all over.

Everything in sight filled forest of Red copies. First, at the time of activation [Army Bloody Scarlet Copies], there is a lot of red spears, but this time a little differently.

[Bloody Feast thousands of Copies Fierce God (tsenpesshu.varudora)] is able to even change the size of the copies themselves. Length changes 5 times, and the thickness is 20 times as much.

Increased to the limit, it becomes the size of a tree.

Body caught in the forest Pink Scarlet Knights copies have been transfixed by the feet to the top, or torn to shreds. In the middle of the chest, protected by them the [Empress Colors Blue Roses], exactly where its core was sticking a spear.

And not a minute had passed since the battle ended before it really started. I was letting off some steam, because, I think, so come down.

Taking real body Scarlet Spear of land, forest of copies are gone, collected the body of the [Empress Colors Blue Roses] got me in a very good mood, as long as it has not yet disappeared.

[Dungeon boss [Empress Colors Blue Roses] successfully eliminated]

[History of God [Blue Rose Garden] conditions of passage [The Murder First Strike] [Destruction of The Army] [Capture of Empress] have been met]

[Performer granted a special ability [Skies Blue Roses]]

[Performer, as a bonus for the first elimination of the boss, will be sent the treasure chest 【Princess Blue Rose】]

［As a privilege for conquering, the ban on the use of the Warp Gate is lifted］

［Please note that only those who conquered the dungeon can use the Warp Gate］

［For those who have Awakened the Psalms／The key figures of God’s Lost Psalms, a part of the 【Demigod of Roses】’s divine power will be granted］

［As the collector is an important figure of a Greater God, the quality of the Divine Power collected will be inferior］

［Portions of the Divine Power rejected by this rule will be turned into an object］

［【Yatendouji】 has obtained the 【Demigod Rose Pruners】 !!!］

［Conforming to the conditions, it is possible to seize the 【Blue Roses Zoo Park】]

［Will you do so?］

［≪YES≫ ≪NO≫］

This time I received [Sacred Treasure] 【Demigod Rose Pruners】 vygldeli as small blades that can easily fit in the palm, describe the arc, falling into my hand.

After putting the [Sacred Treasure] and Treasure chest into my item box, I chose <<Yes>>.

［Special Ability 【Dungeon Plunder】 has been invoked.］

At this moment, control of the 【Blue Roses Zoo Park】 will shift from the 【Demigod of Roses】 to Yatendouji］

［From now on, please manage the Dungeon at your own discretion］

With that, our goal has been achieved here.

Gripped by a sense of things, to his own surprise, I felt I did not want to engage in conquest dungeons of this type in the near future.

Having dealt with the cases using the Warp Gate, we moved to the street of the city, in order to have a rest in the hotel.

Day 284

The dark sky with shining stars was barely giving way to the sunrise when I noticed a suspicous presence near our hotel.

Still half asleep, I looked out the window in order to assess the situation. I found men hiding in the shadow of nearby buildings.

Three of them were visible from the window.

But it was not only them, the [Sense Enemy Detection Zone] and [Sense of Space] found a total of 12 beings, and almost all of them belonged to the [Demon Race - Midian].

They acted in groups of four. Their equipment consisted of black cloaks heavily enchanted to concealed their presence, under which were military-grade body armor, gauntlets and greaves made from magic metal. Magic accessories such as rings and earrings were also used to increase their stealth.

They wore matching unfiroms, although their weapons were all different - various swords and spears that were of [Unique] or [Ancient] class.

The way they hid themselves that seemed like they were dissolving into the envirnoment as well as their silent movement clearly displayed their skills. Rather than adventurers or bandits, they were more like an elite squad.

Still half-asleep, I recalled one report in particular.

Looks like this group belongs to Atarakua Demon Empire and reports directly to, one of [6 Great Generals] "Great Ai sumus Herbie Indigo" - [Indigo Secret Squad]. Without a doubt, these elites engage in covert assignments like assassinating the Demon Empire's enemies and gathering intelligence. They are rarely seen in public so the information about them is very scarce.

The question of why they are here was obviously because of us. Whether they were following Tatsushirou's trail or simply keeping an eye on us, we still needed to be wary of them.

Although information gathered from my clones was limited, I was confident in my assumption. It was possible the owner of the inn was part of an anti-government movement, but the chance of that were slim.

They were faster than I expected. It was immediately evident they were professionals. After confirming their skills, I ordered a morning coffee.

Since they are keeping their distance, it is possible they may simply leave. If they do approach us, I will respond according to the circumstances.

With this in mind, I anticipated my ordered coffee.

After some time looking at the sunrise through the window, the form of a great black rose became illuminated in the distance.

The huge blue rose at the entrance to the former【Blue Roses Zoo Park】, now called 【Funeral Black Rose Garden】, was now black, although its function was the same. Since the change happened during the night it was not immediately noticable, but with the rising sun it became obvious and was causing a huge commotion that could be heard all the way here.

It was understandable since the rose that had been blue for a long time suddenly became like this.

While I was drinking coffee with Kanami, the rest had already woken up and we went down to breakfast together.

As expected from an upscale hotel, the food is excellent.

The food here was not only delicious, but also beautiful. Each dish was decorated with roses from the dungeon, like a work of art.

Having dealt with our preparations, we left the hotel and, without stopping by the shops in the maze-like city, immediately headed out of town in the [Skeleton Centipede].

There is not much point in hanging around this place right now.

Although I was expecting the [Indigo Secret Squad] to follow us, that did not happen. They were still tailing us within the city, but did not take a single step outside the city. Perhaps due to the fact that following the [Skeleton Centipede] at its current speed while remaining undected was not possible even for them.

Well, it makes no difference.

For now, we headed towards our next destination, located in the Atarakua Demon Empire, close to the border of the Beast Kingdom, the Labyrinth City 【Deegambling】.

Day 285

There is a considerable distance between the Labyrinth City 【Glory Rose】and the Labyrinth City 【Deegambling】.

Also, there are lots of places impassable for ordinary wagons because finding detours may take weeks.

Since our [Skeleton Centipede] was not hindered by terrain, we could move at incredible speed even without following the existing roads,

Therefore, even if we were being chased, I am confident we could easily outrun them.

It's just that, even though I had the feeling we were being watched from the moment we left 【Glory Rose】, I could not detect anyone despite my best efforts.

It was probably the work of someone who, like Kugime-chan, possessed a race or high-level abilites that specialized in surveillance.

Even though I had a huge radius of detection, I would without a doubt lose out to experts like that. As such, I could not find who was watching us.

I could, of course, send out my clones in an attempt to find the culprit, but if I made a mistake I couldn't pretend to be ignorant and would also reveal one of my abilities.

After all the clones are only effective because nobody knows about them. If they were exposed, it would become much more difficult for me to collect information in the future. 

Since there's no way for me to detect our pursuers I decided to stop thinking too hard about it and focus on increasing our speed. If we were being watched, we just needed to move at a speed at which they could not keep up. It was a simple conclusion.

The [Skeleton Centipede] can cross roads and fallen trees without problems. It will keep moving along the shortest path with its top speed.

Leisurely driving through a sprawling forest, flying over a vast steppe, climbing rocky mountains, literally jumping from a steep cliff, we raced like the wind along a road only we could follow.

On the way, we saw bandits attacking a wagon. Using ranged attacks, we gave them some support by burying the villains into the dust.

Having met some previously unseen monsters on the road, I quickly hunted them. There were a few small events.

By the time stars appeared in the sky, we had traveled a good distance and [Skeleton Centipede] still continued to run forward.

We lost our observers by evening, but they were certainly still in pursuit so we continued to move forward.

Tomorrow we can travel without fear. With this thought, I fell asleep in the [Skeleton Centipede], which does not need a break.
