"Looking good, white wolf!　Let's keep this up and get it over with!

　Garnett smiled fiercely and swung his cold sword at the crowd of demons.

　Of course, the others were not to be outdone.

　Theodore ran through the air with his skills before Garnett could move, ripping the head of the one-eyed dragon as the ice wall was built.

　It is confusing that the swarm of dragons could not react to the too familiar movement, and they finally started to intercept after the one-eyed eye was struck down.

''You're doing it, Silverwing!　I can't lose either!

　Chandler fired nearly ten arrows in rapid succession in a single breath, all of them shooting accurately through the fire elemental.

　Some elementals tried to evade, but the arrows Chandler fired inexplicably changed their trajectory in the air and penetrated all the light balls without a single wasted shot.

　Furthermore, the spell armor attached near the tips of the arrows was activated, and a popping whirlwind erased the fire elementals from the inside.

''That Sakura guy ...... moved a long time ago.

　Kicking away a fire lizard (salamander) as big as a human with a single sword, Garnett looked out at the lake of lava in a remote location.

　There, Sakura, who had taken off her coat and activated her god's descent, was slashing off the lava golem's arm without caring about the heat of the lava.

　The power of the divine descent that doesn't bother with high heat, and the power of [Shrinkage] that reduces the pause to zero in the blink of an eye.

　It was truly a quick work that made the most of his own strengths.

''This should get done in no time at all: ......

　The other adventurers also set out to intercept the demons using their own specialty means, cutting down the siege faster than the convoy could finish its preparations.

''...... and!''

　While relieved that the battle was going well, I didn't miss the salamander crawling through the gap in the ice wall and pulled my auto-loading repeating crossbow out of its holder and immediately fired all of my bullets into it.

　The salamander's throat whistle, writhing undead, was slashed by Chandler with the blades on both ends of the bow to finish him off.

''Heh!　You've got a funny one, General!　Is that one of your specials, too, made by the techie girl?
Yeah. The auto-loader and high-speed firing ...... structure is complicated and fragile, but it's something that I could use without breaking it by [repair]. I incorporated Mithril's parts a while ago, so I think it's more difficult to break than before.
I don't know what 'a little bit of fragility' was, but was it really that bad?

　Chandler is laughing and chatting, while shooting arrows with remarkable speed and accuracy, killing one demon after another.

　I think he said it somewhere, but Chandler's fighting style is more aptly called a warrior than a knight.

　The impression was even stronger when he rode into the fourth level of the scorching heat, wearing light clothing without a care in the world, without wearing a heat-resistant coat or even knightly armor.

　It was also a background that made sense to talk about how the southern warrior group was taken directly into the framework of knights.

''--The White Wolf's!　Upstairs!　It's coming!

　I heard Garnett's voice and immediately looked up.

　Against the backdrop of the dark rock ceiling, several black, nearly elliptical boulders arced out and were closing in on us, trying to crush us.

　We're not going to be the only ones who have to deal with this.

"Dangerous!

　The barrier that Garnett quickly retrieved and deployed to protect me was not the usual transparent wall of magic power, but a physical ice shield in the shape of a physical ice shield.

　The second medallion given to me by His Majesty, its attribute is ice.

　Whereas Skol's medallion 'only strengthens physical abilities at the point of activation, absorbing surrounding flames and high heat and turning them into power', this one directly consumes Garnet's magic power and turns it into power.

　It is literally the opposite in every sense of the word.

''A volcanic bullet?　General, where was that ......!
'The white wolf!　Look, the one with the cherry on top!

　As Garnett told me, I looked towards the lava pool where Sakura was engaging with the lava golem.

　Before I knew it, the second and third lava golems had appeared there.

　It's a good thing that you're not engaging with Sakura, because the one that wasn't engaging with her has just vomited lava into its body, looking up at the ceiling and caving its belly in, spitting out a high spray of lava.

　--It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

As with the last one, everything was intercepted, but it's clear that another attack will be coming soon.

　Sakura is knocking down lava golems one after another, but new individuals are constantly emerging from the lava, spitting out volcanic bombs without mercy.

'd*mn it!　What a pain in the ass ...... oops!

　Suddenly, the corpse of a dragon with its head ripped off fell from directly above Garnett, and Theodore landed lightly on top of it.

　Despite being glared up at by Garnett, who had dodged just before the collision, Theodore didn't seem to care at all and gave instructions to the people around him.

''That attack is something you can't use unless you've sunk yourself into the lava!　Once they move out of range, that's all you need to know!　Keep the lava golems stranded until the convoy is ready to go, so that they don't interfere unnecessarily!
"...... d*mn it!　The white wolf!　Switch medallions, please!　Over there, it's like lava or bait!

　Garnet thrust his sword into the surface of the ground again, strengthening the ice wall that surrounded it even thicker, and then demanded that the Skoll medallion be [fused].

　I immediately complied and pressed the Skoll medallion against Garnet's chest, switching the demonic beast factor that was fused into its body from a silvery ice wolf to a golden flame wolf.

''It's up to you, Garnet.
Oh!

　Clutching the second medallion that appeared in his hand, he watched Garnett's back as he sprinted at an unseen speed.

　Garnett stepped across the surface of the earth and stepped into the lava belt without hesitation - absorbing the enormous amount of heat and making his golden hair shine as he kicked the cold, hardened lava beneath his feet and continued his sprint.

　Then he leapt at the lava golem that was about to release a volcanic bullet, and slammed his palm into its face.

''Whoa!''

　The lava golem was instantly absorbed by the scorching heat, and its upper body, which was peeking out of the lava, was coagulated, turning into a lump of rock and sinking into the surface of the lava.

　If it took two people, Garnett and Sakura, they would be safe over there.

　Furthermore, Chandler also stood on top of the ice wall and continued to shoot at the demonic beasts outside, while Theodore pulled back into the air and resumed his fight with the dragon.

　It seems that the inside of the ice wall can no longer be considered a safe zone.
　Maybe I should back off from the battle and head to help the convoy.

　Just as I was beginning to think about this, the engineer of the convoy called my name.

'Mr. Luke!　I need to have the bogie [restored]!
Okay, I'm coming!

　I was about to run out towards the direction of the voice, and that's exactly when I heard it.

　A section of the ice wall began to move with a roaring sound, coming around as if to block me and my surroundings.

"......!　This guy is ...... no way!

　Looking around in all directions, everything is an ice wall - not something a demon adapted to the environment of the fourth level can do.

　I immediately activated the 'Right Eye of Wisdom' and searched for the person(s) shadow(s) that should be lurking in the ice wall.

''It's not a joke ......!　How could you be here!
You don't owe me an explanation.

　A female dark elf in metal armor slips through the ice wall like a shimmering flame or something, revealing a female dark elf in metal armor.

But I have one sentence to make. I have no intention of killing you this time. Of course, I didn't just come to see your face.
