"I feel ...... lightheaded when I'm here. ......

　Lara said as she reached the lower levels.
　She looks a little pale.

I'm not sure.　I'm not sure if it's because I've been in the same boat as you.
You don't feel anything, do you Kurt?
I can feel the magical element, but it doesn't make me sick.

　But for the two of us who have only advanced to the third level of the ...... "Treasure Labyrinth", the magical elements here may be quite difficult.
　But in my case, a thousand years ago, I experienced a magical element that, if inhaled by a person without any kind of warding, would cause him to lose consciousness.
　Compared to that, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

I knew it. ...... The Cave of Payago. It seems to be a pretty good quality dungeon.

　I'm getting closer and closer to the daemons I've detected with my detection magic.
　It seems that this layer has not been entered by many people,.......

　There might be some good items left.
　It's a shame, though, that we can't expect to find much after using our detection magic.

　We proceeded onward, defeating the demons. .......

"Oh, Lara. Stop for a moment.
What?

　I'll hold Lara's shoulder to stop her.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
"Kurt. What are you talking about all of a sudden?
"This is another point of caution in the dungeon. Take a good look at it.

　I said, picking up a nearby pebble.
　Then I throw it on the ground, which looks like nothing at all.
　Then .......

"Oh, there's a hole!
"Is it a trap?

　A large pit suddenly appeared on the ground where the pebble had hit.

Yes, a trap. There are many such things in dungeons with high levels of magical elements.

　Basically, dungeons are filled with magical elements.
　Basically, dungeons are filled with magical elements, and these elements recreate dungeons and create traps that trick adventurers like this.

　According to some theories, dungeons have a will of their own and refuse to allow people to enter.
　That's why there are traps like this, and why they create demons that serve as guardians.
　When I explained this to them.

"I've never heard of such a thing!
"That may be true. Well, even I don't know much about it yet. I'd like to figure it out someday.

　I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get stronger.
　It is only natural that I want to analyze the dungeon thoroughly for that purpose.

If Kurt hadn't told me about this hole ......, I would have fallen for it.
"The hole goes pretty deep. If Kurt hadn't told me, I would have ...... been horrified.

　They looked into the hole that had been created.

　By the way, traps are relatively gentle when it comes to pitfalls.
　Even if you do fall, you can survive the shock of the fall and get out of it.

Be careful of traps like this when you attack dungeons. It's a good thing that this was just a pitfall, but there are also traps that spray poison gas all over the area just by stepping into the layer (area).
We'll be wiped out!
You have to be careful. ......

　The two men looked horrified.

　Of course, it is a prerequisite that you don't get caught in a trap.
　But if you do get caught in a trap, recovery is also important.

　For example, the trap of ...... spraying poisonous gas can be dealt with by either a disarming spell or a spell to heal the poison.
　I'll have to teach you that too.

So let's get back on track and get going.
We'll have to be careful of traps.
I'll work on my detection magic this time.

　"I'll try my best to use detection magic this time." - Just when the two of them were getting back into the swing of things and were about to proceed...

"Wait a minute, you two.
"What?　

　I'll stop them.
　It seems that detecting traps is still too difficult for you two.

　I stepped ahead of them and deployed the Rockfall spell.
　I could have used a trap release spell, but I wanted to show them the threat of the trap.
　A large number of rocks fell to the ground in front of them.


　Then, holes began to appear in the ground where the ...... stones had hit, one after another.


"Wow!
There were so many!

　They shouted in amazement at the sight of the holes being made.

...... Looks like this whole area is full of pitfall traps.

　Stop Rockfall's magic.

"Kurt noticed and ......?
Yeah. I'm aware of the location of the traps throughout this layer.

　As soon as he stepped into this layer, trap after trap was caught by the detection magic.



　The ground in front of us was so full of holes that it was almost difficult to just walk on.
　But it was not impassable.

"Wow, ......, there's a skeleton under this hole. There are skeletons under this hole.
"Are you one of the adventurers who ventured into this layer?

　Lara peered down the hole and saw Marise's blue face.

"Yes. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why this dungeon has not been explored. Even if you do manage to get here, you'll get caught in a trap and never return.

　The hole is fairly deep.
　Even if you survive the impact of the fall, you'll probably break a bone or two.
　If that happens, it will be extremely difficult to crawl out of here without using magic.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
"Don't worry about it for now. Traps can be traps because they are unnoticeable in the first place. Inevitably, detection magic will make it harder to catch them.

　Lara's unfortunate magic is particularly good at attacking, but not so good at detecting magic like this.

　But she seems to have understood the fear of traps well enough.
　That's enough for today.

　We go deeper and deeper, trying not to fall into the hole.

...... I'd still like to have a wizard who's good at disarming traps.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I don't know about in this world, but people who mainly use magic to detect and disarm traps are called "Thief".

　Green magic corresponds to that. .......
　I haven't seen any since I came to this world.
　I'd like to recruit them when I find them.

Well, that aside, ...... you're close.
What's that?
The reason we're here is ...... because of a powerful demon.

　Both of their faces tightened up at my words.

Where are you?
"In that little room over there. They know we're here. I'm sure they'll set us off the moment we enter the room, so ...... stay alert.

　He's pretty good at concealment, but it's obvious when you get this close.
　We entered the small room with caution.
