Xellos and the others continue on their way through the unchanging mines, kicking aside any demons that appear.
　However, it takes most of the time to get to the mineable area.

　As they progressed to the lower levels, the number of demons continued to increase, and their strength also increased.
　The demons supplied with magic from the dungeon do not starve, but at the same time, their sense of appetite may be numbed.
　For this reason, demons tend to give themselves over to their s*xual desires for reproduction or their fighting instincts, and basically sleep the rest of the time. They seem to be lacking in some way as living creatures, but they are still a threat.
　However, for mercenaries, strong demons are a good opportunity to earn money, and they can earn extra income by selling materials and magical stones.
　Depending on the situation, this kind of hunting can often be a better way to make money.

　The lower you go down, the more traps you'll find, and the more you'll have to avoid them.


There's a trap in there, sir. It's a good thing there's no explosion involved.
"Don't be a prick, Uncle. I don't want to be trapped.
If you like traps, you're a dominatrix. I'd like to see that.
Sometimes I don't know who you are, Lena. ......

　So far I've only found pitfalls, but some of them are poison gas, electric shock, and worst of all, explosions.
　In the game, there is no loss of body parts when caught in a trap, but in reality, some people lose their limbs in such traps.
　It is impossible to regenerate a part of the body cleanly even with recovery magic, and even if you could, you would not be able to supply enough nutrients to rebuild your limbs.

　Regardless of how much regenerative ability a creature has, it still has to meet certain conditions in order to repair its missing parts. This is where the discrepancy between the game and reality arises.
　In this world as well, it is impossible to regenerate a defective part of a person in reality.

　In particular, reincarnated people tend to rush into reckless situations without hesitation, probably because they are prone to be overwhelmed by the common sense of the game.
　To do so in real life would be like throwing away one's life, and if it were possible, it would only be possible if one possessed a level of separation.
　For example, a level of over a thousand, like the Zeros.

"Enemy ahead, Big Spider. Shall we destroy it?
"How many?　How many?
Three of them. Three of us should do it. What should we do?

　The three of them look at each other.

The spider's magic stone is good, right?
But they're hard.　It'll ruin my sword.
But I want experience, so... let's do it.
The word "delicious" reminds me of a spider that was fried in oil and tasted like shrimp. I wonder if they can be eaten too?
"Are you going to eat the spider?　Did you eat it?

　When I went on a business trip abroad in the original world, I went to a restaurant that was supposed to be a sumptuous meal, and I ate a fried tarantula that was served there.
　He had also eaten a giant centipede, and he had demonstrated that he had the skills to live anywhere.
　The employees of the company he was doing business with in the area thought it was just a joke to surprise him, but they didn't think he would really eat it.
　Satoshi Osako, a.k.a. Zeroth, may have an unusually good ability to adapt to the environment.

"It tasted good with alcohol~......
"I ate it!
The cold monkey brains were indeed disgusting. .... I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it again. With a grudging look on his face. ......
""・・・・・・・・・・・・"

　The smoke from the exhaled cigarette drifted in the air.
　For some reason, there was a breeze blowing through the air, like the melancholy of a sad man.

　In a different sense, I can see that this was a hard time for Lehman.
　In a sense, the all-nighters may seem like heaven.

The calf's brain was delicious, right?　The calf's brains were delicious. They looked a bit like raw cow's heads, but they were cooked, and they were thick and smooth to the tongue. ......
Please don't do this to me. ---------! No!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!　I can imagine it!
・・・・・・・・

　Janae, mental breakdown.
　He froths at the mouth and passes out while standing.
　The three of them had a very vivid imagination.
　The three of them had very vivid imaginations. They could imagine the ghetto food with high quality.

By the way, what should we do with Big Spider?
"You want me to fight him like this?　Are you a dope?　You're a dope!
I can't get the monkey's head out of my head!
・・・・・・・・・・ (ah...I see a field of flowers)

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　Normally a manly woman, Janae, she was mentally fragile.

　Xelloss smokes again, exhaling a cloud of purple smoke.

A woman has to be tough to survive. If you're not gentle, you're not a woman.
"Uncle, you're not hard-boiled enough for me.　Why don't you stop wearing that smelly outfit?
No. That's my policy.
You're lying. I don't think you have it in you.


・・・・ Is this the place to cry?

　It's a terrible thing to say, but it's true, he just likes to look smelly.
　Normally he was no different from a peasant.

　While he was doing such foolish things, the three big spiders had gone away.
　And the three girls lost their chance to make money.

　In the end, Zeroth was resented by the three girls who had lost their chance to make money.
　The old man was lonely.

　By the way, we don't know if he ate the cold monkey brains.


　　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇　　


　The cold stares of the three people whose lives were at stake prickled at his back, but he continued on, and came to a T-junction.
　If you listen carefully, you can hear some kind of fierce metallic clashing coming from what seems to be a mining area in the back.
　It sounded strange for a battle, like they were hitting each other over and over.

It's not a battle, is it?　It's like something metallic hitting something in the dark, what is it?
I don't know. Maybe it's just my uncle's imagination?
If there's anything other than combat here, it's mining. It's not unusual.
Mr. Xellos, we haven't forgiven you yet, have we?

　It's hard to keep a woman in a good mood once she's bent over.
　The tormenting glare was painful.

　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.
　When the three of us heard that, we all covered our ears at once.

Why are you saying that now, I'm imagining it again!
・・・・・・・・ (pause)
You're a douchebag, aren't you .......? Ugh, I was just about to get it out of my head.
No, it doesn't mean anything. It's just that being indifferent to a strange presence may lead to death in a dungeon.

　He has a really nice smile on his face as he quietly says this.
　He had a surprisingly deep-seated personality.
　And he has a good personality.

"Forget that nonsense... oh, it's the Big Spider. They're heading in the direction of the sound, but there are ten of them, so... what do we do?
"I'd like the spider's filamentous spines if I could. They're used to make spider silk.
I know they're expensive, but aren't ten of them ...... too tight?
But they're expensive, aren't they?　Then we might as well give it a try.

　The three of them seemed to have decided to hunt.
　Life as a mercenary is not as lucrative as you might think.
　In addition to the wear and tear of weapons and armor, there are always medicines and food.
　In addition to the wear and tear of weapons and armor, there are also the usual medicines such as restorative medicine, food, and living expenses for the time being when there is no work.

　Without extra income, their lives would be difficult.
　Their lives are on fire.

　Following Vic Spyder, the four of them turn right at the T-junction and quietly head in the direction of the metallic sound.
　There, the metallic sound changed to a fierce sound, as if they were fighting.

"d*mn, those spiders are coming!
We'll hold them off, you get to Christine!
I know, but it won't open!
I know, but I can't open it! Hurry up, there's too many of them!

　It looks like there's trouble.
　Four mercenaries were engaged in a battle with the Big Spider.
　Normally, I would stay out of this, but before I could even think about it, the four of them moved.

"Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but I'll be able to.

"Iris!
I know, 'Rock Blast'!

　Iris unleashes numerous rock blasts into the flanks of the Big Spiders, killing three of them.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing in the future.

There are four left!
Thank you for your help!　Thank you for your help. We'll...
We'll talk about this later, but for now, let's deal with these spiders quickly!
Oh, yes!　Sorry.

　With the help of four more men, they were able to defeat the attacking Big Spider and escape the predicament. .
　Lena and Janae happily went to work dismantling it, while Iris tried not to look at the scene.
　I guess it's physiologically unacceptable.

"Thanks for the help earlier. Let me thank you.
"No, no. Helping each other is important in situations like this, so what happened to you knights? Are you in some kind of trouble?
What?　Why are we with the knights?


I've been a tutor for a nobleman for a while.　I was a tutor for a nobleman for a while, so I've seen the distinctive mass-produced swords.

　Even with the appearance of a mercenary, a knight never changes his sword.
　This is an important item that can be used as identification when moving without the knight's armor for some mission.
　Because of mass production, all swords are uniform in shape and have an engraving on the hilt that indicates the knight of this country.

　Those with the family crest engraved on the hilt of the sword are the ones who are trusted by the noble family and are called the entourage.
　It's a great way to show your identity and distinguish yourself from other knights of the same family.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.　I would like to ask you to lend me your wisdom here.
I'm not sure I'd call myself a mage, ......, but is there a problem?
Our servant Christine has just fallen into the Pit Shooter, and we're trying to get her out, but the opening won't open.
What?　That's not good. ......
"Who would set up such a vicious trap?

　It's a common trap in dungeons [pit shooters].
　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.
　In extreme cases, you might be in the upper levels of a dungeon, but this trap will drop you into the deepest level.
　Naturally, the strength of the demons varies, so if a novice mercenary falls into this trap, he will not be able to save himself.
　Depending on where you fall, you will be facing powerful demons, and if you are not good enough, you may end up as dungeon fodder.

I realized too late that it was a dungeon. The question is, where does this lead? ......
A dungeon, you mean this abandoned mine?
Uncle. Those people are the friends of the girl you repaired the sword for.　They probably fell into .......
You don't have to tell me more than that. But since it was opened once, it wouldn't be surprising if it was opened again.

　The Xellos casually stepped onto the closed lid of the [Pit Shooter].
　The lid is so tightly closed that even the weight of an adult will not budge it.

It won't open. It's going to take a long time to get around it, so I'll just go to ----.

　---Gakon!

　Just as he was about to say, "Let's just blow it up with magic," the lid opened inward and Xellos disappeared into the hole.
　It was like a badly made comedy.

"Uncle ---------?
"Mister Mage?
"Hey, ......, aren't you going to be in double trouble?
You didn't do that on purpose, did you?　
"But this is how we got to Christine. I'm sure he'll be fine since he's so skilled, so we'll bypass him and head for the rescue.

　The knights started to move in a hurry.

　Iris decides to wait for the two who are still dismantling.
　She wasn't worried about Xellos at all.

　Because she knew the anecdote of the Annihilator.
　Rather, it was this dungeon that worried her.


　　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇　　

　
　Fortunately, this [Pit Shooter] was a slide type.
　However, because I was dropped from a height of about three meters and hit my buttocks hard, and then slid down the smooth, uneven surface of the tunnel for a long time, my buttocks hurt a lot.
　My back also felt a little numb from the blow.

I hope I didn't scrape ...... my butt. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Xelloss walks away, rubbing his back while he grumbles to himself.
　The place where he fell was a narrow space about three meters up to the sky.

　The path seemed to lead in one direction, but he was wary of what might come at him.
　The walls of this tunnel were also illuminated with a faint blue glow.
　Xelloss stopped suddenly and began to think with a grim face.

(This light is not radioactive, is it?　(This light isn't radioactive, is it?) As long as the laws of physics are the same, it's not surprising that such a substance exists. (What if my hair starts falling out while I'm walking? ......)

　The true nature of the light is a glow-in-the-dark stone called [pyroxene], which does not emit dangerous substances such as radioactivity.
　However, he was afraid that it might be dangerous and was trembling with fear.

　If this was radioactive material, he was already OUT when he entered the mine.
　But it took him a while to realize that fact.

　---Oh, no!

　The roar of a demon was heard, and Xelloss came to his senses.

It's no use thinking about it, I'd better hurry and find it. It would be a shame if those in distress were used as bait.　

　Xellos, who had made rescue his top priority, started to run and was amazed at the sight.
　At the end of the passage was a cliff, with only a narrow foothold about thirty centimeters wide for a person to pass.
　There was no other way to pass through here but to put his body against the wall and grab the rocky ground.
　Before that, the foothold was too narrow for the adult Xellos to pass through.

What kind of untamed land is this? ....... I've never been rock climbing before.

　There was no doubt that Christine was going to continue on.
　But he can't go there.

　I'm at an age where I'm worried about my metabolism.
　He'd have to lose weight to get through here.
　It was a bit much for an old man to go through.



　Directly beneath me was a huge space that looked like it could hold several spherical domes, with several pillars of rock rising like towers in the center, and countless worms writhing in the vast sandy area around them.
　It was a sickening sight to behold.

(It's not huge for an underworld, but I can't see the outer edge of the other side. ....... How deep underground did you fall?

　The worms seemed to be moving in a certain direction, as if they were being guided by something.

(Subterranean monsters, with the exception of a few animals, are supposed to have degenerated eyes and ears, so it's highly likely that they're using their skin or some other organ to detect vibrations and locate their prey.
　The beings that emit vibrations here are either other demons or ....... It looks like a sand worm, and if it can't dig through the rock, it's reacting to the slightest vibration emitted by the rock. .... With a body that big?　That's not possible.

　When you are a giant, your senses are dulled in accordance with your size.
　The vibrations transmitted from the rock would be very small and would be drowned out by the surrounding sounds and the worm's own movements.

　As I looked up, a swarm of black bats flying in the air caught my eye.
　As if to accelerate his thoughts, he instantly considered the situation and made a prediction.

　In dungeons, there is often only one kind of demon on a certain level.
　There are some dungeons that have more than one, but they are old dungeons that expand into large areas, but at least this abandoned mine is still young.
　Based on my knowledge of the books, there are at most three types of demons in the area, but the ones I've seen so far are worms and bats [howling bats].
　Howling bats are small, but they feed on bloodsucking behavior, so they don't attack small prey. They live in symbiosis with large demons.
　The biggest feature of this monster is that it uses sound waves to guide large monsters.
　Although it cannot manipulate the mind, it creates a certain natural vibration by resonating sound waves against the walls of the entire group, which moves the worm.

　The worm will lead a large demon to its prey, and while the prey is eating, it will suck the blood of the large demon.
　However, in dungeons, where people can survive without food, this action is meaningless, so the ability is used for defense, to eliminate foreign enemies.
　Even if a human were to walk on the rocky ground, the worm itself would be too large to detect the vibration.
　From the worm's point of view, there would be no threat.

　But what about the smaller Howling Bat?
　This creature is basically a predator. It is the size of a palm and lives in groups.
　They fear predators that are larger than them, and the predators that are their enemies are small enough to be preyed upon by the worm.

So we're ahead of the pack. But that bat is in the way. Well, thank God it's closer than I thought.

　Xelloss knew that if he didn't get rid of the bat swarm, there was a good chance Christine would be eaten.
　If she concentrated her natural vibrations in a certain way, the resonance effect could create heat, and she could be attacked and thrown off the rock at any moment.
　He concluded that it was necessary to ensure her safety first.

　She thrust out her right arm and concentrated a huge amount of magic power to activate the magic formula in Idea.
　A high-density magic formula was deployed at the tip of his palm.

"'Purgatory Flame'.

　The magic released diffused around the ceiling and turned into a tsunami of flames that attacked the Howling Bat.
　The Howling Bat, a weak demon with no fire resistance, was burned to the ground by the thousands of degrees of heat.
　The surviving bats, realizing the existence of a new enemy, scattered and fled in panic.

　Then he used his flight magic [Wings of the Dark Bird] and took off from the cliff.
　The goal is to get to the place where the Howling Bats were swarming.

　He was sure that there were probably people in need of help there.


　　.


　Christine took her time moving sideways across the narrow foothold.
　Her clean hands were covered in numerous rock cuts, and she braced herself for the pain as she fumbled for the slightest bump in the rock.
　A swarm of bats flew by, and for some reason the worms followed her.
　Fortunately, the worms can't climb up the rocks, but there's no way she can escape if she falls.
　And now she was facing her biggest obstacle.



　When she had first fallen from above, she had been at a loss.
　The area around her seemed to be a rocky hollow, but she couldn't tell if it was safe, so she decided to move on, as it would be dangerous to stay in the same place.

　As she walked through the narrow tunnel, she saw a large space.
　There was a swarm of worms, more than a thousand of them, right below her, and she knew that if she fell, she would surely die.
　I found myself on a cliff about 20 meters above the ground.

　All around me was a rugged rock face, and there was no way to move.
　The word "helpless" came to mind.

"What should I do? ......

　At a loss, she sits there helplessly for a while.
　I don't remember how long I stayed there.
　But then she happened to look over and saw that there was a slight foothold.

(There's no point in staying here forever. I have to get up there somehow. ......)

　She decided to put her toes on the slight foothold, grasped the unevenness of the rock, and started to move forward.
　　　.
　　　.
　　　...
　I don't know how much time has passed since then.
　Every minute feels terribly long, forcing her to concentrate on every step she takes forward.
　Before I knew it, my hands were stained with blood and dirt, and I was gradually losing my senses.

　When she looks down, the sight of worms swarming around her catches her attention, and the thought of being eaten if she falls terrifies her.
　She has no choice but to go on, not wanting to die, but at the same time, fatigue and frustration overwhelm her.
　The swarm of bats flying above her was always noisy, and she felt the rocky ground vibrate slightly as if it were trembling.

(Forward: ...... There's a ledge just ahead. Dad, protect me. ......)

　She managed to gather her strength and came close to the ledge, but there she faced the biggest challenge of all.


　Beside the ledge, there is a rock wall that juts out at a steep angle, and it requires a great deal of skill to climb it.

　Up until now, we had been able to rest when we were tired because the slope of the wall was such that we could lean against it, but the slope of the wall in front of us was in the opposite direction.
　Without ropes, carabiners, harnesses, or other equipment, it was impossible for a novice to proceed with only her bare hands.
　It would be even more impossible for a teenage girl to conquer the wall.

Oh, no. ......

　The girl's mind is filled with despair.
　She was so focused on moving forward that she didn't check the situation on the rock.
　But it would have been cruel to point this out to her in her extreme condition.
　She was so desperate to get back alive that she made a mistake.

　But she can't stay there forever.
　She is trapped in despair, but her priority is to move forward.

　---Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What's going on?　What's ......?

　There was a sudden explosion.

　You can't turn around, so you try to find out as much as you can about the situation.
　Then a slaughtered bat fell from the sky.
　It was probably a bat that had been blown away by the explosion.

This means that there are monsters that can do this ......?

　Despite her frustration, Christine's priority was to get as close to the ledge as possible.
　She already had no strength.
　Still, she couldn't give up.

　The inverse slope was taking its toll on her strength, and she was losing strength in her fingertips.
　As time went on, she was pushed to her limits.
　And then...

"Ah...

　---She felt a floating sensation in her body.

　A feeling of floating in her body.
　She realizes she's falling.

(Dad, I'm sorry. ....... I might die here.

　(I might die here.) She apologizes to her dead father in her heart for dying when she is not even at the starting line yet.
　Her mother is also on her mind, but there is nothing she can do about it now.
　Rather than regret, she is filled with sorrow for not being able to do anything, and tears flow naturally.

　She might be able to survive in the sandy soil below, but she didn't have the confidence or strength to escape the countless worms that crowded around her.
　She prepared to die and closed her eyelids, but ......

"Whoa, nice catch!

　She opened her eyes when she heard a dumb male voice.
　She opened her eyes to see a man's arm holding her from behind and a familiar gray robe.

Oh no, that was close. You almost didn't make it.

　The foul tone of voice was familiar to her.
　It was the mage who had repaired her sword earlier this morning.
　Christine was relieved to be saved, but then she saw something she couldn't believe.
　It was floating in the air.

What?　I'm not sure what to do.
"Can you please stop flailing? I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this. ......
I'm sorry. ......
It's okay if you understand. And now...

　They slowly ascended and landed on the ledge.

"Are you hurt?　Your companions were worried about you up there.
I'm fine. Thank you for saving me twice.
Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. In dungeons, it's important to help each other, so I don't mind about this.
"What, a dungeon?

　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.
　There is a swarm of worms swarming and wriggling around with nowhere to go, and you can't escape unless you do something about it.
　That's what she thought, but Xelloss was different.

If these numbers get out of control, they could be dangerous. ...... Should we eradicate them?

　I'm not sure.

Didn't you just say something disturbing, ...... mage?
"Well, my name is Xellos, so you can call me that. Christine.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean.　How are we going to get rid of all these...?
It's easy enough to do if you want to, but slaughter, well...

　If you take the words as they are, the mage in front of you can destroy this number of worms.
　But he couldn't hide his confusion because he didn't look like that.
　Moreover, he was looking at the worms and muttering to himself.

I don't want to slaughter them, but there are so many of them... To be honest, at my age, I'm too embarrassed to say, "I'm TUEEEEEEEE! But if we leave them alone, they will be released from here and the damage will increase... It's a pain in the ass.
　I'm just here to mine... .... I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea. There will be some lava, though: .... We need worms in the field, but...
"What, lava?　Damage?　What are you talking about? And worms are omnivorous, not earthworms!　And they eat badly!



　Xelloss did not hear her.
　He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, exhaled languidly, and raised his left arm.

"'Purgatory Flame Annihilation Formation'

　Suddenly, an enormous amount of magic power erupted from Xelloss.
　A sphere filled with a huge amount of magic power created from his palm shoots out near the center of the large space.
　It eventually expands and develops a dense magic formula.

　The magic formula is a dangerous magic that rapidly takes in the surrounding magic power and transforms the magic power into the power of destruction as the power of physical laws in order to carry out the prescribed orders, turning this vast floor into scorched earth.

　The collected magic power turned into super-heated flames that enveloped the worms.
　The heat reached 10,000 degrees instantaneously and spat out the flames of purgatory in the form of a shockwave that blasted the surroundings.

"Oops, fifty 'stacked absolute freeze walls' deployed.

　The next moment, a high-temperature blast struck with flames.
　Even though it was a large space, it was not a magic to be used in an enclosed space.

　---Gogogogogogogogogogogogo

　A tremor ran through the mine.
　It might be similar to an underground nuclear test somewhere.

　The heat will continue to rise without limit, but there is nothing above absolute zero.
　Barriers exposed to high heat will crack and won't hold for long. 　

"Oh no, Gaia Control.

　Determining that the barrier would not hold, he used earth manipulation magic to surround himself and Christine with a thick wall of rock.
　The cigarette in her mouth fell onto the ledge.

　She deploys multiple barriers just in case, and waits quietly until the tremor subsides.

　Magic transforms magic power into physical destructive power, but the transformed power has the tendency to return to magic power immediately.
　The flames of destructive power that you have generated will be extinguished in a short time.

　After the vibrations subsided, I manipulated the rock wall and stepped outside, and all at once I broke out in a sweat.
　It was a scorching world where the rock surface had melted.
　The ceiling had collapsed, and another level could be seen.

Ouch!

　The heat rapidly spread through the multiple layers of barriers.
　The temperature outside the barrier was too high to be inhabited.
　In addition, the heat conducts through the barrier into the air inside.

"Oh no, standard magic 'Cocytus' continuous maneuver!　At the same time, the range magic Calamity Cyclone.

　I'm not sure if I had a bad feeling about the speed at which the high heat began to be transmitted, but I shot a series of standard freezing wide range magic to cool the surrounding area, and the outside temperature dropped rapidly, and I managed to release the barrier.
　Without cooling, he would have been in the same state as if he were in a blast furnace.

　Furthermore, there was a possibility that the air around her was low due to combustion, so she activated her wind range magic to force the air back in.
　The tornado that reached the ceiling created a convection flow of air, replenishing the oxygen-deprived field.

　The lava world rapidly cooled and solidified, forcing the air back in.
　However, the surrounding area was still emitting heat, and some parts of the rock surface were still melting and turning red hot.
　It was a hellish scene.

Did I go too far?　I think I should have used a normal wide area spell. I hope there are no victims in the upper levels. ......

　This was the moment when I realized the difference between the digital world and reality.
　No matter how ridiculously powerful a spell is, the damage in the game is only judged by the numerical values in the data.
　That's why there is no damage in the real world at all.

　However, if you perform annihilation magic in the real world, much less in an enclosed space, the situation is completely different.
　No matter how much the transformed flames are turned back into magic power, the enormous amount of heat generated will still remain on the melted rock surface.
　Furthermore, the heat would continue to stay in the enclosed space, and the internal temperature would continue to rise.

　A cold sweat ran down his back.
　He realized that he had underestimated his own magic, which he had said was dangerous.
　More importantly, he had forgotten the results of the widespread annihilation spell he had used in the Deep Green Zone.

"Here, widespread annihilation magic: .... Mr. Xelloss, who are you?　I'm not sure what you're talking about.
"......, just a dull, unemployed old man!

　The answer is deceptively simple, but it is also true.
　A cold, unbearable wind blew between the two of them.

"...... Annihilator.

　Christine muttered in a trembling voice, and that one word cut into his heart.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　That's because Xelloss himself was initially taking advantage of the unrealistic space in the game to get carried away and play to the fullest.
　His friends even thought he was actually a junior high school student.

　Who could have predicted that such a painful daily life in the virtual world would become a real reality? 　　

　On this day, Xellos was called the name "Annihilator" for the first time in the other world.
　He took out a cigarette and lit it as if to deceive himself.

　He says that the taste of the cigarette at that time was really bitter.
