While traveling to the self-determination island by way of myotone cloud, I fell asleep and woke up ...... to find that we had arrived right above the self-determination island.


I immediately took out the "Awakened Evolutionary Material Radar" from the storage magic ...... and activated the detection magic.
Then I quickly activated the radar's receiving mechanism.


This Radar of Awakened and Evolved Materials is a system that uses the reflected magic power of detection magic to determine the location of specific monsters.

In the first place, detection magic is a magic that sends magic waves around the surroundings and finds out where the demon is based on the reflection of the waves. ...... Magic waves have one important property.
When the magic wave touches an object that has magic power, the ...... wavelength changes from the magic wave of the magic user to the wavelength of the magic power of the object and is reflected.

The wavelength-changing magic wave contains ...... waveforms and other information that show the characteristics of the object.

The characteristics of the waveform of the magic wave are too detailed for human senses to distinguish, but ...... magic tools can distinguish whether the waveform of the magic wave matches a particular characteristic or not.

This is where the information I've collected from demons comes in handy.
One of the information I extracted from demons was the "magic wave function". ...... If I can make a magic tool that compares the "magic wave function" with the reflected magic power of detection magic, and determine whether or not they are similar, then that magic tool can be used as a radar to find a specific demon. I realized that.

Realizing this, I've prepared something like this.


Now, this "awakening and evolving material radar" is set to identify only the "magic waves common to monsters that can be the awakening and evolving material of the Power".
That is to say, the demons in the locations that respond to this radar are the ones that can be converted into the awakened evolution materials of the Power.


When the radar received the reflected magic power, ...... it output the location of the demon on the screen.

It was 4.75km east of ...... the ground.

I moved to the point where the radar showed the reaction to get the awakening evolution material.



I moved to the point where the radar showed a response.


There was not a single ...... demon at the point where the radar showed a response.
Instead, it was like the entrance to a dungeon.

"Hey, there's nothing here.
Is that the demon Valerius was talking about in there?

Belzebub and Caucasus said to each other.

No, it can't be. ......

But I couldn't for the life of me believe that the demon I wanted was in the dungeon.

The radar was indeed responding "near the ground".
But no matter how many times I searched the first level of the dungeon with ...... clairvoyance, I couldn't find a single demon there.

What's even stranger is that ...... this dungeon is designed in such a way that no matter how hard you try, you can't see beyond the second level with your clairvoyant.


...... This is...

And here ...... I came up with a possibility.

I thought that this dungeon ......, or even the one that can be seen in the dungeon, might actually be a "demon that mimics a dungeon".


I've never actually seen one, but I've heard rumors about such demons in my previous life at .......

As I recall, this demon's name was Ihot.
I believe it was a demon that mimicked a dungeon, lured humans inside, ...... imprisoned them in the second and subsequent levels of subspace, and digested them when they ran out of food and were weak.

The reason why the clairvoyant couldn't see the second level and beyond is because it was in the sub-space of Ihort.

If we hadn't noticed this and entered this "dungeon", ...... we would have been able to escape by space transfer, but we would have spent unnecessary time searching for meaningless monsters. I would have spent unnecessary time searching for meaningless demons.


I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you.

I gave Caucasus such instructions.

I've heard that the entrance to a dungeon on earth for an Ihot is like a claw for a human.
If that is the case, then ...... would be the most orthodox torture method.

If you torture the enemy, it will stop mimicking and reveal its true form.
Then, you can attack it with all your might.


The Caucasian slipped his horn under the entrance to the dungeon, ...... and lifted the entrance in one fluid motion.

And the next moment.

"GEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

And then, out of nowhere, I heard a scream. ...... The dungeon vanished, revealing an indeterminate demon with many eyes.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I knew the dungeon was definitely a mimic of Ihot.
While I was thinking this, the two of them attacked the Ihot in waves, quickly draining the enemy's strength.

Soon after, the Ihot stopped moving, and ...... I retrieved its corpse with a storage spell.


...... Now you've gathered all six of the awakening evolution materials.

I'm not sure what to do. You'll have juniors in the near future.

"Oh, finally. I'm looking forward to it.
"Yoo-hoo!

I'm not sure what to make of this.
I think there's still a lot of potential in information extraction magic, and ...... you might be able to find a good way to do that too.

While feeding the two beast chips, I began to hypothesize about how I could find such a monster relatively easily.
