I wonder if I should replace the guard dog. Inside the enemy base, there were monsters everywhere. And it's not just a monster. They're all powerful monsters of A rank.
Nonetheless, Noyn and the others are all capable of exceeding even the A rank. Therefore, even if it was an A-ranked monster, it did not constitute an obstacle to stop its progress.
The wandering monsters are quietly cleaned up by Rustrada and Saizo's hands.
"Inside is not a small elite arrangement."
Block your mouth before the monster barks. If the monster shows signs of using magic, seal it quickly. And I'll drop my neck before they notice.
Saizo was better at undercover than anyone else here. The technique is that of a ninja that comes to mind correctly.
"Nevertheless, I don't see any big monsters because of the size. For that reason, I thought I had a powerful individual!
Sleep away, then gently break your breath. It penetrates the sharp spot precisely after tangled with spider thread. And return to the dust without even leaving any evidence.
There were many types of lassada techniques that were suitable for covert behavior. The monsters are buried in brightness that no longer leaves even a trace of battle. It looks like a magician.
(It's still amazing. All I can say is boulders. None of the elements will ever be noticed. Mr Hanzo, of course, and Mr Rustrada, of course. I was told that Alkite was in charge of intelligence, but I didn't know it was this close.)
With his two arms in sight, Nein wraps his tongue around many of his mastery moves.
Apart from the rhizo technique that is conscious of ninjas from the appearance, I can no longer even feel impressed by Rustrada's operative style, which doesn't suit that bloodthirsty hero.
(If Grandpa Summoner, Luminaria, Maylin, and Gottfried were here, this would never have happened!
Yes, he thought strongly. Definitely, if one of them had been on the undercover team, they would have already left a flashy trail.
That's why this teamwork was perfect, and thank Kagra for proposing it, Noine.
In this way, the undercover investigation team will continue searching for the "Ira Muerte" base.
It was like a labyrinth. In addition, the materials that build them are not known as stones or metals. Walls, floors, and ceilings are made of something magically shiny, red and black.
There are narrow corridors, small rooms, and countless stairs everywhere. There are many places that are just getting complicated or similar, so even if you are careful, you are likely to lose sight of your current position.
But here, Rastrada's demolition magic glowed. Because the magic of descent gained from labyrinth bats gives you a general picture.
Furthermore, it was also possible to ascertain the position of the rhizome by intangible secret technique.
If the two of us were together, we would no longer need a map. Even the first labyrinth will be able to grasp the whole picture at first sight.
In addition, Artesian sacred magic enhancements were added, so the two moves became sharper.
Noin was only able to focus on protection with confidence. However, Mira's figure, which she had seen before her departure, suddenly appeared in his head and disappeared.
(Kh... don't let me fool you, me!
While telling herself that the outer surface was only striking and the contents were different from her liking, Nein shaken Mira's underwear floating behind her eyelids.
Oh, you're a doll.
Bury a few monsters in the dark and move on for a while. Far forward. It was not a fierce monster that appeared there, but a creepy equivalent-sized doll.
Moving unnaturally like a puppet is extremely horrible. And, as the creepiness suggests, it's a demonic monster named Stea Papet.
Steer Puppet, a doll with evil spirits. In addition to using spiritual magic, it also has the troublesome power of a curse. However, its combat power is not as high. The opponent obviously fell several stages when encountering all A-ranked monsters.
However, no one doubted that such monsters were placed here.
Moreover, despite Artesia's ability to curse and manipulate sacred magic with special effects on evil spirits and others, the tension increased.
The reason was the ability of the stair puppet.
That's an alarm. When you find anything but monsters, you send out an alarm to summon them. It's not much of a problem to gather monsters this time, but I'd like to avoid breaking into them.
I'll take care of that.
That's what I told Elise, the Necromancer. She quickly liquefied the resulting mud golem and allowed it to crawl through the ground.
Steer puppets look around carefully. The mud accumulation gathers at its feet and spreads gradually. And shortly after Steer Puppet tried to move on next.
The Mad Golem, which grew out of the ground at once, quickly wrapped up the stair puppet.
So what do you say? If you get attacked, you should sound the alarm right away, but you shouldn't even say yes.
"Well done."
Noine sends praise for her quiet work, even though it is stable.
Last up, Elise pierced the stair puppet from above the Mad Golem with a dagger. The blow settled it lightly.
"Easy win"
A bit of a good Elise answered Noine's question about how she did it.
The Steer Puppet did not sound the alarm because Mad Golem had been given the Spiritual Tie. Therefore, if you are trapped in this Mad Golem, you will be able to seal up most of the special abilities possessed by demonic monsters.
(Delicate manipulation and a secure strategy. The boulder is Eliuse-san)
I'm sure Mira and the others would have told me to get rid of it without a trace before the alarm went off. With such a scene in mind, Noine was relieved that Elise was here.
Noyn and his team worked brilliantly to get rid of the monsters and infiltrate into the back. It was then that I came to a small room similar to the previous one.
"Mum, don't wait. This room is very uncomfortable."
Saizo said as he looked around the room, where he couldn't tell anything from it.
"Feeling uncomfortable? ─ ─ As far as I can tell..."
Noine stops her legs and looks around the room carefully. At first glance, no such changes can be seen. Nevertheless, the intuition of Saizo, an undercover investigator. The ability is certain.
Then maybe there is something.
"Okay, let's find out first!
If Saizo says so, Rustrada starts immediately. I used a demolition technique called "Scale of Eye" to scatter the powder of light around me.
It has the properties of flashing in response to fine pressures and even changes in mana. It is a technique that helps capture the movements of invisible enemies and objects as small as mosquitoes.
There was another useful use. That was the discovery of hidden doors. It reacts to minor mana pressure changes that leak from gaps and the like.
However, this time, the reaction was a little different than usual.
"Whoa, this isn't normal."
A corner of the room. Rustrada looked at the wall and hid her eyebrows. In addition, Nein and the others also float confused colors before doing so.
The powder of light raised the outline, indicating that there was a hidden door there. But it was originally about a slight flash along the boundary between the door and the wall. But for now, some of them are repeating brightness and darkness intensely.
In other words, there is evidence that the leaking mana is abnormal.
Rustrada says. Waiting ahead is certainly a far cry from daily life.
"Oh, my God, that's terrible."
I just have a bad feeling about this.
Artesia and Elise felt intuitively mischievous from it. He looked vigilant.
"Well, let's check it out!
It's obviously not unusual. But there must be a good reason for hiding it. Besides, it's a cleverly hidden place on this island.
What lies ahead of this hidden door? To confirm that, Rustrada began to look for a way to open the door immediately.
I'm sure there's nothing quite right ahead. But what if we don't get into the tiger hole?
Perhaps the boss of 'Ila Muerte' is lurking ahead. Noines look around with such expectations in their chests.
Then I found a way to open the door a little bit, again, it was a rhizosphere.
"It doesn't seem like a mechanism that opens in response to key surgical instruments. It is a pretty good substitute. But in the hands of the handicapped ─ ─"
Saizo, who had discovered how it worked, stood in front of the hidden door, telling him to continue and leave it to him.
And it's been less than a minute since Saizo started to get dry. A hidden door opened with the sound of catanism.
"Driftstone, Saizo-san. You can also unlock surgical keys."
Unless it's too much, surgical keys are tougher to break than physical keys. However, Noine admired Saizo's arm, which was unlocked vividly enough to make her feel the difference.
Saizo responded confidently to such a Neu 'in. "Atlantis's magic skills are amazing!".
What Saizo had. It was not a kind of ninja technique, but an extremely high-performance surgical release tool.
I use anything useful. That's the Saizo Ninja Way.
"This... doesn't stink."
Slightly open concealed door clearance. As the air drifted slightly from there, Saizo backed back with an expression.
"Sure, this is tough....."
No matter how close they came, Noine also left the scene as soon as she felt the smell coming out of the gap.
One of them talked about the smell.
"This smells like death."
It's Elise. I'm sure he's a Death Magician, and he's got a lot of chance of getting in touch with that smell. She was the last person to say anything, but she still didn't come to mind.
"The smell of death... in other words..."
There is some kind of monster, such as a corpse or a zombie. Noine, who sensed it, showed a clear sense of disgust. He was bad at grotesque things.
"Oh, what should I do..."
"Because of this smell, it's pretty..."
Nevertheless, it would be unusual for those who are good at such things. Not only Neuin, but also Artesia and Saizo didn't like it.
And Elise, the only one who seems to be resistant ─ ─ "I'm watching this place," she said with a stubborn refusal. There are many opportunities to touch death, but it doesn't seem like I'm used to it.
"Well, I finally found it. We have to go!
There are obviously terrible physiological aversions ahead. Before that, which was intuitive because of the smell, it was Rustrada who did not waver at all. I searched all this way and smiled with all the clues but the monsters I finally met.
A secret door hidden in a secret base of evil organizations. The smell of impurity that comes from behind. It appears that his Hero soul reacted to the bin there. He said throughout his body that he had no choice but to pursue it.
"I guess I just have to go...."
In fact, Noine decides that Rustrada's words are correct. The fact that the entrance was hidden means that there is something beyond that. We have no choice but to investigate.
Nevertheless, we do not imitate stepping into a dead smelly place without protection. In consideration of not only taking anti-odour drugs but also generating toxic gases, Artesia was given a sacred technique that allowed for clean breathing.
"All right... let's go..."
I'm ready. I'm done. However, it is expected that the sights that I do not want to see will spread in the future. Therefore, the step taken by Noin was heavy.
However, if you can only take the first step, you can continue to take two or three steps. So the Noins went beyond the hidden door and into the back.
I can't do this. I can't do this.
Elise was the first to make a sound.
The more you advance, the more unpleasant the smell will be, and there will be signs of something unfamiliar approaching.
Though it is endured by anti-odour medicine, it smells like it gets psychologically tough. In addition, the magicians, other than Neon and Saizo, felt the spiralling mana ahead.
"This is definitely something. Evil Ground or Evil Cadre!
Definitely a mana pellet that is not natural. Rustrada alone doesn't seem to have swayed at all in front of him. Rather, it was in excellent condition.
In this way, we go through a long passage, a few hundred meters. Having finally arrived in the hidden room, Neyne and the others were stunned in front of the sight spreading there.
"What is this...?"
"Well, that's terrible...."
Noin reveals disgust and Artesia leans down with a painful look.
It was the largest room I had ever seen at this base. There will be twenty meters in height. It is wide enough to exceed fifty meters. It's a big warehouse.
What was in that room was a friendly number of bodies.
Not only a large number of monsters, but also wildlife, as well as the Holy Beast species, were rolled there.
What the hell is this place? Is it a tomb or a treatment plant or something? Though such thoughts came to mind slightly, Noine intuited that they were different from such kindness.
"From what I've seen... it looks like nothing."
It was Rustrada who stepped forward and checked the situation, as everyone was frightened in front of a thousand dead piles. He looks at the room filled with various bodies and tells them it's not at least as bad as it sounds. At least there's no one in the visible cadaver pile.
"Exactly, not evil work."
What is this place? What was the intent behind creating such a place? We need to investigate it first.
Saizo moves to explore the purpose while frowning at the scene of too bad hobbies.
It's hard to think about just collecting corpses. If it's just a morgue, you don't have to go all the way to the hidden door.
There must be some kind of secret. On the basis of the idea, Neyn and the others proceeded with the investigation of the room separately.
"This is strange. None of them are scratched."
Artesia looked around the bodies of many monsters and noticed one thing in common.
It's a corpse. As far as I could see, all the bodies had no noticeable wounds.
In other words, they did not lose their lives due to strife or trauma. In addition, since many of them are corrupt, it is unlikely that the materials were hunted for the purpose.
What is the meaning of this room? I will explore further for a while. "Can you guys come over here," Rustrada cried.
"What is this...?"
Noin took a breath and walked carefully ahead of what Rustrada had found.
A corner of a large room with countless bodies rolling around. Especially behind the mountain of big corpses. What was there was something stained with some sort of device and two large vessels installed there.
"It's kind of like an evil ritual."
It was Elise who gave the impression he felt when he looked at it.
As she said, the device had a complicated procedure engraved on it, and there was no doubt about it.
It looks like a stone staircase, followed by a coffin-like stone box. And from the bottom of the box, a thin conduit is coming out towards the top of the vessel.
"As an awkward man, I'd like to hope it's still a ritual... but..."
Judging by its appearance, it was close to something like a press. In other words, it puts something in the box above and extracts something.
Also, since the procedure is engraved, it is not such a gentle thing as squeezing fruit juice. And at this point in time, the question arises naturally as to how this is used.
"This black one looks like blood..."
Unpleasant imagination passes through the brain, distracting eyes and creepy noines. But Rustrada was paying attention to the dark black that remained at the bottom of the left vessel.
It looked like a liquid, dark black enough to boil down the darkness, creepy enough to be frightened when seen.
Probably had something that made me think it wasn't a simple substance, like blood.
"There's no way this is transparent... water..."
Rustrada continued, moving her eyes to the bottom of the right vessel. There was a small but transparent reservoir there.
At first glance, it's just water. But after that, I still felt something that might be good.
But unlike the black one earlier, I didn't get a creepy impression. It was strangely transparent that there were no words that could be used to make a name for something that felt like something.
