There's nothing wrong with the range of vision in my right eye for now. But there's no guarantee you'll be safe all the way to the third level.

　While hanging from the edge of the cylindrical hole with a rope, he looked at the back of the channel with his 'right eye'.

　In the time between repelling the Demon Beast Dagon and the present, I haven't come across anything that looks like the defense system set up by Agart Ram at all, and not even a trace of it has come into view.

　It could simply be that Dagon's next defense system was farther back, but there was no denying that it was indescribably eerie.

'What do you think, Alexia? Do you want me to take a look deeper?
'My job is to establish a means of getting the ship into the path of entry, so I can't just say that from here on out of charge ......, can I? And we may need another finesse along the way.

　The trouble is that finding an entrance doesn't solve everything.

　Since this is just a water supply canal, it is not expected that a human being will be able to pass through it comfortably by boat.

　We need to scout it out as much as possible without being noticed by the other side.

'We should have brought Noir with us on this one. I think we could have scouted safely if we had visual sharing with the messenger.
By the same logic, Roy would be a good fit. I'm sure some of his spirit animals can move underwater.

　As with any search, not all of the choices you make are necessarily the right ones.

　The guy you chose for being useful may not be able to make use of his strengths, and regretting that you should have brought him along is an everyday occurrence.

　This is even more so if it's the first time you step foot in a place like this one, and both Alexia and I calmly accepted the fact that we didn't choose the right person for the best solution as a matter of course to reflect on.

'Shall we go back upstairs for a moment? The prospect of being able to lower the ship with a simple crane and finding a route of travel from the bottom onward is a blessing in disguise.
Yeah. Garnett, Chandler. Let's pull it up.

　He gave instructions to the two men in charge of the escort as well, and they clambered up the vertical inner wall, relying on the ropes.

　Along the way, Alexia mentioned a casual question.

'...... Come to think of it, there are wizards in the White Wolf Knights, aren't there? Can't Sir Hild and Sir Ambrose use a messenger or something?
'It seems that messengers are a black magic-type territory. The same is true of Melissa, the attribute magic user, but I thought we were told that Hild couldn't use it. Ambrose is ...... an unknown quantity of what he can do and how far he can go.
''Oh, I think it would be more efficient to share the results like the Wizard's Secretive ...... clever engineer. Of course, there's a set of patent-like mechanisms as well.

　We continued to climb up the wall while exchanging such conversations in the sense of chit-chat, and crawled out of the hole where the waterway flows down.

　Then, as soon as I deactivated my 'right eye', I called Ambrose and consulted with him to see if he could use a messenger or something to search the depths of the channel.

''Well ...... that's about right. I can only link my vision with myself, so leave it to me here.

　As Ambrose raised one arm to chest level, a large hawk-like bird slithered out of his long sleeve and began to circle around, flapping its wings powerfully.

　How in the world did he summon it, he wouldn't be able to answer the question if I asked him.

　So we decided to assume that he used some kind of skill or magic, and left Ambrose to scout the depths of the underground channel, while we took a break near the confluence of the above ground portion of the channel.

　But that's when it happened.

　From the previously quiet shores of the lake, we heard the sound of a tremendous wave popping, and then the earth shook as far as the center of the island.

　It was as if a giant creature was crawling around the lakeside.

'......!　The white wolf!　No way Dagon is still alive!
"The medallions have been collected!　At least it's not Dagon!　Anyway, let's go check on him!

　I took Garnett with me as my escort and rushed out towards the direction of the sound in a great hurry.

　Even though this is an unexpected situation, we can't just throw all of our forces into it all of a sudden.

　First of all, I, who can use my 'right eye', should go check out the situation.

　Although I made that decision on the spur of the moment and took action, I immediately regretted this cautious measure.

　We ran up the side of the gentle slope of the waterway, the sheer walls on either side of us lowered, and when we reached the surface of the island, what jumped into our field of vision was a huge, large snake................ -).

　It could be described as having several necks and tails sprouting from a single body - that's how it could be described.

　This is a huge body that is still more than enough to swallow a human body.

　I'm not sure if this is the case in my knowledge of demons, but it's just too big.

'Hydra!　But such a big, stupid individual, a neutral city (Asropolis) couldn't possibly have grasped it: ......!
Hey, Luke!　Is he a demon?　To my eyes, all I see is the lower half of that monster beast from earlier!

　Hearing Garnett's statement, I stopped thinking for a moment, and then immediately came to a terrifying idea.

　I immediately activated my 'right eye' and looked at the giant hydra.

　In the previous battle, he had only paid attention to Dagon's upper(...) half(...) body, which showed glimpses of intelligence and malice, and had only paid attention to the lower(...) half(...) body, which had sunk beneath the surface of the lake, at least the Serpent's neck, which was constantly being extended.

　However, once again, the several necks that Hydra had grown out of were very similar to those that had grown out of Dagon's lower body.

　Furthermore, if we remember well, when Dagon was deprived of his medallion and disappeared, we couldn't see the lower half of his body disintegrate and he sank to the bottom of the lake before we could see it.

　In other words, we hadn't confirmed the disappearance of Dagon's lower body.

'I knew it was ...... so. ......

　The truth that my 'right eye' has been telling me is that the hypothesis that I didn't want to be right was correct, and I can't help but feel that I was right.

...... ma-zha-hi-hi-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. That's also the medallion's magical beast...... what we thought was a single magical beast called Dagon, a substitute for two magical beasts that were combined together......!
What?　Then no way!
'We've only beaten half the defense system!　The other half tried to grind the intruder out from behind!
