68 The Good Man Destroys the Food Man Mountains




 The wise man drew his sword and cut the man in half from his body.
 The man crumbled to the ground.
 The man who had taken human form just moments before melted and was sucked into the ground as he vanished.

It's gone! What does that mean, Mr. Alec?
Maybe ......

 I pulled out a few strands of hair and dropped them on the ground.
 As soon as the fluttering hair touched the ground, it melted with a sizzling ...... sound.

It melted! Ehhh!
I knew it. Do you know what an insectivorous plant is? Angers
"Yes, catch the bugs, dissolve them and digest them. ...... Ah!
Yes, this place is like that. It's a cannibalistic cave, not an insectivorous plant. Look at that one.
That's ...... the dead minotaur. You fell in together.
They don't melt, they only eat people, this cave.

 The situation had changed, so I asked the Philosopher's Stone based on the newly acquired situation.
 It turned out to be a cannibal cave.
 The cave itself is like a living creature that only digests and eats people who wander into it.

That's right: ...... Oh, then we have to get out of here.
I guess so. Let's go, Angier.
"Yes! Oh, Mr. Alec!
What's going on?
"There! People over there!

 Angier pointed to a prison-like structure.
 As I got closer, I saw a figure caught on the other side of the fence.
 It's a beautiful woman, her clothes are tattered and she's slippery-looking, trapped in her cell.

 It wasn't there earlier (、、、、、、、、、), but then Angel approached and called out to her through the fence.

Are you all right?
"U....... This is ...... haha.

 The beautiful woman looked around vaguely, then hurriedly turned her gaze to me.

People! Ta, please help! I slipped in the mountains, and the next thing I knew I was here!

 The beautiful woman was a desperate plea for help.

Please! I'll do anything!
"Dear Alec!
"......

 I staggered up to Angel and stepped in front of him.
 And then silently waving my wise man's sword.

 The whole fence cuts the woman on the other side of it in two.

Master Alec?
It's funny that there's a woman in here. Remember the warding we had when we came in?
"Oh, Mr. Alec tore and re-stretched ......
"So it's funny that someone is . So it's funny someone's there. And there was talk of a prank, but there was no mention of a missing woman. If people were missing, they would have asked me to look for them.
"Indeed it is!
"Besides, his clothes were tattered. If they were torn up like that, they would have melted through the skin that was in contact with the ground. Maybe he was going to dress me up as a thank-you for saving me.
"...... Shit!

 The woman who was cut off from both sides swore and disappeared like a melting pot.
 It's the same voice as the man from before. It's also a dummy or fishing bait created by the cave itself.

The... ...... Mr. Alec...
What's going on?
"Why do you do the coloring?

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
 ...... If you're successful with your color scheme, I'm sure I'll have to take off my clothes and stay here for a few hours, just to get my mind off of things, but it's a little awkward to answer Angel with a straightforward answer.

"You're just trying to keep me busy.

 I cheated just fine.

 But it's a dangerous cave.
 And they've been stalling us with this stuff for some time now.

 Maybe it's been doing this all along.
 They confuse and eat anyone who wanders in, melting them.

 The cannibal cave, huh?

"Master Alec? Let's get out of here. If it means we're going to be stranded, we'd better get out of here soon.


"No, let's destroy this place.
"Is it destructive?
"Yeah. I thought I could just seal it off with warding. It's dangerous here. In the beginning, it was just a small prank to lure you in, but it's really dangerous. A lot of people get caught off guard that it's not that bad if it's just a prank.
"Ta, sure.
The way you look at it now, this place is very well acted and versatile. If left unchecked, more and more victims may appear in the future. So I think it's best to destroy the whole cave.
Yes, it is! But what should I do? I walked a lot and I fell twice. I think this cave is bigger than the mansion--no, I think it's bigger than your palace.
That's okay. Ange, hold on to me tight.
"Yes, yes!

 You don't know what's going to happen, but Angier, as usual, listens to me honestly.

 He comes over to the side, wraps his arms around me and squeezes.

 I thrust my wise man's sword into the ground.

What are you going to do?
Gathering and releasing the power of life. I know I'm not very good at this, so I'll take care of it all at once.
"I see!
I'll go to ...... then.

 The wise man's sword.
 The magical superconducting properties of the babes.
 Infused with magical power.

 SSS-ranked magic power, which amplifies the life force of the philosopher's stone.

 A healing light spreads around us.

 Melting from beneath our feet, each clinging Angel floats with flying magic.

 The light spreads explosively, and the cannibal cave is consumed by it.

 Eventually--

"Wawa, wawa! Hi, the mountain has disappeared!

 I was also surprised at this result.

 The power of life to erase only the cave.
 The result of putting it out there without hesitation.

It was as if the plant had taken root in the ground.

 What we thought was a cannibalistic cave was apparently a cannibalistic mountain range.
