An oddity that occurred in my right eye - the 'Right Eye of Wisdom'.

　When I try to draw out a certain amount of power, a ceramic-like crack appears around the eye, and the range of blue flame-like magic power spreads.

　Since it's my own face, I myself haven't been able to actually see it visually, but it seems to be a big enough transformation that Garnett, who was watching from the side, was impatient.

　The fact that the Demon King Gandalf knows about the change that occurred in my 'right eye' is no longer surprising.

　Not to mention that he himself is unfathomable in every sense of the word, it's also possible that the demon generals who previously engaged in battle at the fourth level have raised a more detailed report than I imagined.

　In any case, Gandalf would have only one thing to say.

'Not just the body, but even the soul is getting closer to Alphasul: ...... Is that what you're trying to say?'
That's right. That's right. You are getting closer and closer to Al-Fazl. But if you hesitate to use your power for fear of it, you will suffer a cruel defeat at the hands of Agat Ram.

　I couldn't help but feel thirsty when he said a few words, neither threats nor exaggerations, but because he was the one who had fought with the real Agat Ram.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that," he said, "but I'm going to be the one who can defeat you. Then there is no way to resist without the power of Alfazl.
...... You don't have to tell me. If I didn't have much power, I wouldn't walk away from a fight with Agat Ram. I'd still fight through it even if it bit me in the face with a stone.

　I put my hand on Garnett's shoulder and looked straight into the Demon King Gandalf's guileless eyes.

　I'm no longer a victim of the Demon King's scheme.

　I'm standing here of my own volition, and I'm the one who has to face my mission.

　I cannot cower and cower in fear of an inhumanly intimidating presence.

　You can't cower in fear of an impersonal, intimidating feeling.

　As the commander of the White Wolf Knights, who was taken directly from His Majesty.

　And most of all, as a man who decided to live with Garnett Alma Argentia.

　There was no way he could escape from the role he was supposed to fulfill for the sake of self-preservation, though it wasn't very possible.

But I'm not going to let Alfazul take over, as you guys wanted. I'll use whatever power I have ......, magic or not.
No, thank you. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

　For the first time here, Gandalf turned a smile that seemed to be a smile at me - although it was a change in expression to the point of raising the edge of his mouth.

''Open the 'God's Eye of All Wisdom'. Wield the power of creation. Use the Divine Beast Factor. You have the potential to resist Ivaldi. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with it.

　At that moment, there was a sudden vibration in the underground space, and the floor and ceiling began to shake in small increments.

　Garnett and the brave Ezell immediately alerted their surroundings, while Ambrose looked up at the ceiling, which should be empty, beside them.

　And both me and Hild reflexively got inside Garnett and the others' guard, leaving His Majesty Alfred the only one who was at ease among us.

　Of course, Gandalf and Eil remain standing without a single change in color.

It's not a problem. It's just a regular occurrence at the fourth level. The aftermath only reaches the fifth maze as a vibration.
Is this a natural phenomenon ...... of the dungeon?
Have you ever wondered where these ...... dragons that populate the first and fourth levels of the hierarchy are emerging from?

　Gandalf looked up at the high, dim ceiling and cast his gaze on a certain point without hesitation.

At the end of the fourth level, there is a divine beast sleeping in the depths. Its body is incomplete and it's far from being awakened. Just as the demonic beast Skoll creates Fenrir Wolf as a family member, this divine beast has created a family member to protect its imperfect self.
That's the dragon in this dungeon: ......
''These vibrations are the aftermath of the divine beasts periodically releasing their subordinates. Since an enormous amount of magical power is rushing through the fourth level, painting over any other signs of magical power, it's the perfect time for a major prep.

　Once the demon king's army was defeated by Agart Ram and ousted from the third level, they were thought to have moved their base to the first level ...... demon king's castle realm via the second level.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the article.

　It seems that this natural phenomenon was the reason why Agart Ram was unable to locate the main body of the Demon King's Army, despite the fact that so many years had passed so far.

　When a divine beast unleashed a large number of subordinates (dragons), an enormous rush of magical power and violent physical vibrations would occur at the same time.

　During this time, even if you make a flamboyant move at the fourth level, you will be camouflaged by the divine beasts' self-defense actions.

''Even so, a divine beast that produces dragons as its subordinate ...... is something that would make our dragon slayer cry and be happy.
Tell him not to kill the beast by mistake. If he cuts you off, you'll never get your life back.

　It should have been a serious word, but somehow it sounded like a joke and I couldn't help but lose my expression.










　The sword fights that were taking place in the scorching fourth level were interrupted by a sudden vibration of the earth and a heat wave blowing from the deepest part of the city.

　Sakura kept her distance from the demon general Suzuri while maintaining her divine descent, stamping both feet on the spot and maintaining her posture to endure the gust of wind that was tinged with immense magical power.

　--You can find numerous dragons flying away from the rock ceiling.

　Each and every one of these magical beasts, which could make the cherry blossoms struggle in normal times, crossed overhead in a mass like a starling at dusk.

''Not good!　Dragons at the search base: ......!
Don't worry about it. They weren't sent out to hit a specific target. They will be scattered before they reach your base. Shouldn't you be concerned about your current situation?

　Suzuri looked at Sakura with a cold demeanor, leaving the face of the kamihatsu vessel exposed.

　Although Sakura had barely maintained her divine descent, her output was diminishing.

　Her hair, which had been dyed in a flaming glow, kept losing color and coming back to life like an extinguished candle, and each time the heat of the fourth level hit her bare skin, she was repelled again.

''Perhaps I was wrong in my expectations. You're still not quite good enough.
Don't lick it!

　Sakura shouted to drown out Suzuri's words, and then readied her cherry-colored sword.

''I won't be able to stand up to Luke-dono and my father if I give in at this level!　Demon General Suzuri, I'll show you what I'm talking about!
