Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Goo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o'
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
"Oh my gosh."

　Screams, screams, and sounds of anger are heard through a crack in the space in which the thrown spear plunged.
　Is it because it comes from a crack in the space, or does it simply live like that?
　Ray didn't know what was going on in the area, but there was more than one scream, but it was a layer of screams.

"... for the time being, the physical attack is effective. It seems that there is no such thing as a tentacle as flexible and sturdy."

　Next to the muttering Ray, Vichela, who had escaped from the front of a crack in the space, finally arrives and looks at Ray somewhat dumbfounded.

"What do you say when you hear that scream? I think it's better to show a different response."
"Really? Well, when I heard the screams over there, it didn't really slow down... and it seems like it's different from Seto's skill. Maybe it's just a scream of pain."

　In Rey's words, Vihela looks around... precisely at the adventurers and guards scattered in this underground space.
　As Ray says, some of the people there are now able to move, and many are trying to get away from the scene and move up.
　Before Ray can say anything, they realize their situation and immediately begin evacuating.
　The judgments around here are probably due to the superiority of adventurers and guards.
　It may actually be because Vihela just shouted for refuge from here.
　It was commendable to hear that scream and not forget it.
　At least Vichela, who shouted earlier, nods admiringly at the sight of such adventurers and guards.

"I hear you're going to do something about it. ... So what are you going to do? Do you want to continue with your current attack?"

　While acknowledging Rey's words, Vihela says she doesn't think a similar attack will work.
　Vichela's words were convincing to Ray, given that unlike the spear in twilight, he could not penetrate his tentacles and hurt them somewhat.

"First of all, I don't know how intelligent they are, and maybe one or two more attacks could pass, so I'd like to try them."

　Returning words to Vihela, he takes the disposable spear out of the mistling again.
　And the moment I try to throw it again, the screams that come from the crack in the space suddenly disappear, and the tentacles fold over as if to protect the crack in the space.
　That's only in front of Ray, too.

"... he seemed to have some intelligence,"

　The multiple layers of tentacles were in front of Ray's eyes as a shield of tentacles.
　Even in the situation where the shield of his tentacles was created, Ray never stopped his posture for throwing...

"Show us how strong it is!"

　With a sharp cry, Ray throws his spear.
　The swift release of the spear, cutting through the air...

"Is it impossible?"

　The spear penetrated the gap between the tentacles, but it stopped moving when about half of the spears were buried.
　Then he was broken in the middle of the handle, perhaps because he couldn't stand the pressure of his tentacles.

"What are you going to do?"
"...yes,"

　Whispering, Ray moves from where he was.
　I thought that if the tentacles were forming shields only for Ray, he would be able to ignore the shield if he moved from where he was... but I think that Ray's idea was that a lot of new tentacles would grow out of the cracks in the space and cover the whole area around him with tentacles around him.

"I don't know how you recognize me, but if you're intelligent, it's only natural for you to respond to me moving."

　You can contract with humans to produce countless covolts and manipulate them to some extent.
　Of course I should have expected to have high intelligence, but it was still difficult to think I had high intelligence when I saw pink tentacles, which were also coated with some mucus.

"And what are you going to do?"

　Ray comes up to Vichela's side and asks, and after a moment he thinks, he opens his mouths.

"When I think of the time I had saved Vichela, I think that with the spear of twilight I could penetrate the shield of my tentacles to some extent."
"The spear of twilight will come back if you tell it to come back to you, will it? Then you can throw the spear of twilight, break the shield of your tentacles to some extent, get it back to you when the movement stops, and then throw it again?"

　It was Vichela's suggestion that we should try to attack them with half force, but this case is not so wrong.

"I don't know if I can knock you down or not, but I'm sure I can hurt you. But do you really think I can knock you down? What do you think will happen to the contracts that you have made with them if you knock you down badly here?"
"You're saying that now? You've already attacked me enough. ... I'm saved, and I'm going to say this."
"Ah... yes, that's true, but when I think about it this way... and I had to help the others in this basement."

　As I said, I checked the underground space, and found that there were no adventurers or guards left.
　While Ray was fighting against that tentacle... no, I guess everyone was evacuated.
　Ray's choice was never wrong in terms of directing his tentacles' attention to himself.
　whether he was aiming for it or not

"Hmmm ... so what are you going to do now? If you don't fight, do you think they'll quietly overlook me?"

　At Vihela's words, Ray once again turns to his tentacles... now to the dome or fortress of his tentacles.
　As far as I can see, there is no sign of tentacles attacking me.
　If so, I think I can leave it alone here, but in the battle I've been fighting so far, it's true that I've offended the tentacles by attacking the tentacles.
　If so, it was very likely that if we were gone, we would be in trouble now, but later.

"Should I knock it down after all? ... But in this case, I have a feeling that it would be a lot of trouble to knock it down badly. What do you think?"
"You don't want me to ask you that. But isn't that a pretty awkward situation? I think it'll take a lot of time to knock you down."

　Vihela's words make me wonder what to do.
　In the first place, there were no tentacles when we passed through this underground space, but now there was a question of why there were tentacles suddenly.

(Is it not that you need some kind of key to call the tentacles, but that the tentacles will automatically appear at a certain time...?)

　That's one of Ray's predictions, given that the tentacles didn't show up when he entered this basement today.
　The possibility was not so strong, but it was also true that, given the current situation, it was most convincing.

(if the idea is correct, why were the guards and adventurers in such a mass of underground space, not from a single estate, but from many places?)

　a dead body of bones and skin lying in underground space
　Judging from the uniforms, armour, and weapons worn by the body, it was undoubtedly the bodies of guards and bodyguard adventurers.
　While questioning that... Let's take a guess and see how they react.
　Then, instead of a disposable spear, he took the twilight spear out of the mistling and stood ready... but the movement to throw it stops at that moment.

"Ray! Wait a minute! Langa is calling! Don't touch that tentacle first!"

　A female guard who emerges from the steps away screams at Ray, who was about to throw his spear in the twilight.
　If he had been a few more seconds late in calling out, the twilight spear in Ray's hand would have undoubtedly been released at a mass of tentacles.
　That's the perfect timing.
　Ray forces his throwing motion to stop and uses the force to step a few steps."Well... Whoo!"
"Was it good or bad that the movement stopped here... to be honest, it's a subtle point?"

　There is something interesting about Vichela's words as she watched Ray move.
　You think you might still have a chance to fight your tentacles.
　In fact, as long as it wasn't a mistake, Ray could only give such a dumb stare at Vihela.
　Leaving his eyes open, Ray calls out to security guards moving by the underground walls, perhaps trying to reduce the risk of being attacked by tentacles even a fraction of the time with a twilight spear in hand in his hand.

"And do you want me to leave this tentacle as it is, which could cause trouble later?"

　It was Ray, who had actually thrown a spear at a crack in the space, who left it aside and asked the securitywoman so.
　The securitywoman asked speaks apologetically to Ray.

"Mr. Langa knows that, but it seems that it is not good enough to defeat this opponent in this situation..."
"Is it bad? I mean, did Langa get any information about him?"

　As he spoke, Ray turned his gaze to the stairs where he came out.
　There was supposed to be a faint Javis, invisible from where he was.
　Ray brought Javis, who had originally fainted, here to get a lot of information.
　Some of the information is, of course, against this tentacle and the Lord.
　But he immediately shakes his head thinking that Langa already has information about the incident...
　Since it was the mastermind behind this incident, it was certain that Javis knew more than just about the tentacles.
　That being the case, Javis is worth a lot of money.

"So, what are you going to do? Fight that tentacle like this? That's fine with me."

　I'll do well next time.
　Vihela looks at me with such thoughts.
　The woman guard was a little flustered by Vichela's attitude... before the guard could speak again, Ray shook his head.

"No, let's not. Langa is the chief executive in this investigation. If Langa got any information, he wouldn't have to go out of his way to fight that tentacle here."
"Oh,"

　Vichela muttered regretfully at Ray's words.
　But he still refuses to fight the tentacles because he is convinced that Langa is the chief executive in this case and has some important information.

"If Vihela agrees, will she leave here? If things continue as they are, that tentacle may attack us again?"

　Both the female guard and Vihela nod to Ray, who mutters his eyes to a place with a large number of tentacles.
　After confirming it, Ray keeps an eye on the tentacles and asks the female guard.

"Is Langa in the house where you came out?"
"Yes, Mr. Langa is waiting for you..."

　If possible, I want you to come with me.
　Ray nods back to the woman's guard telling her so.

"All right. I have no problem with it. ...Vihela?"
"I know. If you can't fight that tentacle, there's no point waiting here. ... Well, let's go before they move. If you waste your time here, that tentacle could move again."

　The strongest reaction to Vihela's words was still the female guards.
　My strength was average as a guard, and the pink tentacles at present were quite different, although the average person or drunk adventurer could handle it.
　The way he wears some sort of mucus, as well as the color, is probably enough for him to feel disgusted.
　I don't want to be attacked by a tentacle like that... so I take Ray and Vichela with me and quickly escape from the underground space.
　In addition, for a moment, Javis was about to be forgotten, but Ray never forgot to carry it firmly.
