"Gruuuuut!

　Lil's lightning magic kicks in.

　Instantly, a flash of lightning fills the entire field of vision, but...

"Hah, hah ...... lillll, avoid!

　As soon as she heard my words, Lil activated her unique skill "God Speed" and fled from the spot before she could check her surroundings.

　A moment later, something black and shadowy rushed to the place where Rill had been a moment ago, and in an instant, a thirty-meter radius was rotting away.

　Probably the Demon King of the No Life King also used "dark magic" that the Immortal King fought a while ago, but the range of magic action is too much.
　Even if he didn't get a direct hit, he'd be out of luck if he was in that space.

　And Lil's lightning magic is ...... a direct hit, but without damage.

That's a messed-up version of ......!

　I couldn't help but swear.

　--We are being chased by a monster.

　A head with dozens of eyeballs and a ludicrously wide gaping mouth.
　And from the head, instead of a mane or a beard, a number of thick tentacles sprouted out of it at random, making it very creepy. It's no longer a monster, but rather a creature.

　The body of the fierce beasts, reminiscent of a four-legged wolf or panther, is naturally large, a full size larger than Lil'.
　But what makes it vastly different from Lil' is the fact that its body has no skin (・・・・・・・・・・).

　There is no skin, and muscle fibers are exposed, just like a human body model, which is very gross. Internal organs are normally visible.
　I think that the skin is an important organ that protects the body, but I wonder how the skin evolved to become like that.

　It's an enemy that makes me feel sick just looking at it.
　I'm sure it's quite understandable, even if it's called one of the evil gods of Cthulhu.


　Race: Parasite Lion
　Class: Mad Beast
　Level: ? 10


　For the first time in a long time, the overwhelming strength of my analytical skills can not even see through its ability value.
　I don't even know the order of magnitude of the levels. Is it three hundred, four hundred, or five hundred?
　Two hundred can be seen by my skills, so it's definitely higher.

　Something's gotten into them and made them that way, but I wonder how much advantage that information has over us.

　Normally, this is an enemy that would use the dungeon return device to escape upon seeing it, but it's not a good idea to do so by unleashing ...... this guy.

　It is somehow leaving the west area and invading the south area.
　If it's left unchecked, there's a good chance it will end up in the nearest human city, Alfilo.

　If that happens, it's impossible for the humans to defeat this thing, and the city will surely collapse.

　If the humans are left unattended, there is no doubt that more damage will be caused, so they will form a strike force and dispatch it.

　And the one who will be dispatched will be Nell.

　This is far beyond the level at which Nell can deal with it.

　We don't care about the humans, frankly.
　I don't care how many people died or how many people I knew, I feel sorry for them, but that's hardly the reason I would challenge someone so much stronger than me.

　But if there's a risk of harm to Nell, that's a different story.
　This will be an enemy that cannot be ignored.

　--The demons of the magical forest basically never leave the roughly divided north, south, east, west and west areas.

　It's related to the concentration of magic in each area.
　I don't know why, but demons prefer the areas where magic is rich in magnesium, and dislike the areas where it's thin.

　And the area in the forest of the demon world is the west area.

　It's my imagination, but I think that means the monsters in the forest were attracted by the very rich magen, and gathered in the west area first.

　However, the monsters that couldn't survive in the west area were forced to move to the east area, where the magic element was dense next to the west area, in order to survive.
　And those monsters that can't survive there will end up in the south area where the magic is the weakest.

　This is the reason why the demons in the forest are clearly separated according to their strength.

　I've heard from Leila that the demons that live in some of the world's "unexplored areas," which are said to have a high concentration of magnesium, rarely come out of these areas, so that's pretty much what I expected.
　The human species also take advantage of this habit to form human settlements in areas where the magic is thin.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Sometimes .

　Sometimes there are people like this guy who try to go to other areas.

　Either they're too hungry - or they're just having fun (・・・・・・・) killing.

　Whatever the reason, it's nothing more than a problem for us now.
　Go back to your home and fight against the demons of the west area.

Orochi, Yata, eliminate the demons on our retreat route!　Byak, Seimi, cover them!

　I use the dungeon's Distant Talk function to half-announce to my pets.

　Despite their strength, our pets are still no match for this one.
　For sure, this one blow alone will kill us.

　In fact, I've seen with my own eyes how a single spell from this creepy fellow killed another demon in the west area in an instant.

　I'd like to get the hell out of there too. ...... If things get really bad, I'm going to throw off my pride and run back to the dungeon and ask Lephi for help.

　It's a good thing that it's already in serious trouble, because the corrosion almost swallowed my right ankle and it rotted off, and I was able to recover it with an advanced potion.

　That's pretty much how the battle with the demons in the forest of the demon world is.
　All of the enemy's attacks have the power of deadly force, and you have to know how to avoid them and hit our attacks.

　Therefore, your ability to see, or the ability to avoid the attacks of your opponent, will naturally grow on its own: .......

　--It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what to expect.

　It's a good thing I'm stronger than I was when I fought the d*mn dragon, but against a guy whose status I can't check.

　That's right. We've seen from the battle up to now, this guy doesn't care about us.
　It's as if it's a mosquito, shooting its stupid attacks as if it's annoying, but it's not actively coming to kill us.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get away from the inevitable heavy damage from a single attack, and both me and Lil have successfully avoided it.

　...... To this guy, we're the equivalent of a winged insect, or...

　The fact that we've been harassing him here for a while now only buys us time, since we don't have a decisive strike on our side.

　...... Okay, let's pull it off.
　It's not likely to do that with other demons, but this one doesn't care about us. Perhaps we'll be able to get away from it easily.

Come on, 'gargoyle', 'kraken'!　Get at it, attack it from a distance and from long range, you don't have to hit it, just harass it and buy yourself time!　If they get close to you, run away as fast as you can!



　I pass the magical power to the earth and water spirits suitable for stalling, and create a few pseudo-life forms that will automatically attack me with spirit magic.

　They obeyed my words and quickly dispersed to the surroundings.

　Next, I drink the advanced mana potion to recover the magical power I passed to the spirits, and then give instructions to Lilu, who is fighting next to me.

"Lil', change of plan!　Don't attack (・・・・・), we're pulling out!

"Gruff?

　Leave this guy alone?　I answered in a hoarse voice to my pet, who seemed to be saying, "Oh, I have an idea, so obey me!

Oh, I have an idea, obey me!　Orochi, Yata, I'm sorry, but I'm reversing the instructions you gave earlier, and do not attack the demons on the way, they are dead!　Orochi, Byak and Seimi move to where I tell them to go, and Yata watch this creepy guy's movements from the sky and report anything that comes up!

　Then Lil and I left the evil bastard and headed for the nearest warp door.
