We stepped into the room to get to the back passage. This time I let Sisha put her hand on my back so that I can be safe from being blown away.

''........I knew it would happen.

But it's not like it's metastatic.

　As we advanced to the center of the large room, a magic circle appeared, as expected. At the same time, the passage we came from and the passage leading to the back was blocked by a wall coming up from below.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be blown away, but as the magic circle increases in brilliance, light particles pour out from all over the wall.
　And multiple blobs of light form around us.
　I was wary of what would appear, but it was the usual purple-colored goblins that emerged from the light.

'You've made me nervous and now this?

All that bravado, all that crap and it's just mind-blowing.

　The goblins that appeared about 30 of them raised their clubs and ran towards us all at once from all directions. The situation of being surrounded by demons is pretty bad in itself.
　However, the opponent is the weakest goblin. No matter how many times you are surrounded, there is no way you will become a threat, and you will take out the ones coming at you from one side to the other.
　Both me and Sisha can take these guys down with a single blow. On the contrary, a swing of the crowbar can take out several of them together, so these guys were quickly wiped out.

''It's over.........''

Now you have a sword?

　Without a moment's pause, light floods out of the walls again. The next to appear in a mass of light are the goblins with swords that were in this labyrinth. As far as combat power is concerned, there's not much difference between them and the first goblin, so these guys don't change the way they handle things either.
　When these guys were also annihilated, light flooded out of the walls again in the same way, and this time about 30 goblins with spears appeared.
　What's this.......how long is this going to go on?

You're getting stronger, aren't you?

Well it looks like we're going to have to stick to our guns and not get carried away.

Yeah, I know.

　A group of bows, shields, mages, black and red goblins appear in turn, and we take them down. They seem to be getting stronger and stronger, which is kind of creepy.
　The only ones we've seen are the Red Goblins. Then, the next one might be the one we haven't seen before.
　The entrance and exit walls are still closed. It shouldn't be over yet.
　I regained my spirits and looked at the light flooding out of the wall again.

''Ugh... what the hell was that?''

An octogenarian goblin?

　The one that appeared was not the usual goblin, whose height is about the size of our knees, but a goblin that was taller than me. They have black skin, and their pecs and abs are stocky and bigger than mine.
　There are about 30 of those as well. It's honestly creepy. It's like being surrounded by muscular naked men.
　Since it's a new species, let's check their status for now.

　Is it that strong?　He looks strong, but his status isn't that high. And since they don't have any weapons, they don't seem to be much of a threat.
　The Evolucian goblins that appeared all got into a bent position with their hands on the ground at the same time, kicking the ground with great speed and running.
　The first goblin to reach me is stepping on the ground with his right foot and swinging his left fist and delivering a powerful blow.
　As the blow hits my armor, there is a dull thud. But there is no damage to me at all. When I look at the goblin arm in front of me, I see that its arm is bent in a direction where it shouldn't be bent from the wrist onward. That's what would happen if I hit him with such armor bare hands.

　In return, I raise my Excalibur and stab it into the brain, pulling it out and stabbing its body a few times. That's all it took for the goblin to run out of HP, and it collapsed and turned into a particle of light.
　Looking at Sisha, she avoided the attack from the goblin and countered and attacked in the process.
　She entangles the outstretched arm with both arms and tosses it straight to the ground. She then restrains the arm without letting go of it, holding it by the shoulders with her legs and twisting it into her arms, crushing them with a gurgling sound. Then, in the final blow, he smashes his head with his cane, killing him.
　What the hell is going on, throwing him away while holding the cane?

Wow!　Huh!　Hmm, the bigger you are, the easier it is to do.

You're... you're a straight shooter when it comes to that sort of thing.

Stress builds up, you know. But I do try to keep a low profile in general, don't I?

There's something wrong with your modesty...

　As it was, she fought the Evolutio Goblin for a while. She grabbed the last goblin's head by the scruff of its neck and smashed its head into the ground, turning it into particles of light.
　This one took a bit of work........ Still, it looks like Sisha usually wears a cat, but as far as combat goes, there's not much of a difference. I think the grossness is up a bit though.
　He usually says he's modest or something, but that makes him modest.......and so does Esther, but I don't trust the word modest at all.

　Even after defeating the Evoluciogoblins, more particles of light flood out of the walls. It looks like it's not over yet.
　The next thing that came out were eight-headed goblins with more than thirty staffs. They were clad in rags to the point of apology. And immediately, a small magic circle is deployed next to the goblins with their wands raised.
　This.........could this be a mage type!　Oh no, if we don't, Sisha will be involved!

"Sisha!　Cast a recovery spell on me!

'Yikes!　Wait, Okura-san!

　I can't get away in time because I'm surrounded and already ready to activate it. So I hold Sisha in my arms and hold her in front of me. As much as possible, I try to prevent her from being hit by the attack.
　Immediately after, I feel the impact of something hitting me here and there. And it also sounds like it's going to explode. It's like they're shooting all sorts of magic at you.
　I'm not sure if it's because it penetrates the defense, but it's a sober pain. However, the pain will soon disappear as she who is holding it in front of me continues to cast a recovery spell on me.

''Aw ... are you okay?''

Yes, yes....

All right, then, let's wall me off and eradicate them all!

　I withstand the magic attack and as soon as the sound stops, I let go of Sisha and head for the goblins. I have to take those guys out before they shoot their next magic.
　I'd like to check their status, but we have to defeat them before they do that. Besides, their appearance is similar to the one from earlier, so there shouldn't be that much difference.
　I reach the first one and gut its body with a crowbar. At the same time, Sisha also struck the goblin with her staff. With that alone, the goblin crumbled down and became a particle of light.
　Apparently, compared to the goblins from earlier, their HP is low...I finish killing one and immediately head for the next other goblin.
　Magical fireballs and earthen bullets fly through the air while moving, but I guard the ones that seem to hit me. By repeating that, I was able to take care of all these goblins as well.

''Phew, you managed to get through it........hurry up and get it over with.......''

I'd like to think it's time for the end. It's a little hard to deal with magic-using demons on our own.

　How long is this goblin rush going to last? We've already defeated more than 100 of them, and it's time for it to end.
　As if our thoughts were understood, the light that had been pouring out to create demons again changed.
　Compared to the past, an unusual amount of light was generated from the wall, and it all gathered at a distance to become one giant mass of light.

''What the hell was that thing?!''

''Oh, it's big. Even I can't deal with that one, as expected........

　The light stabilizes and its form is revealed. It is a huge body, just like an ogre or cyclops. It is a quadrupedal demon with its hands and feet on the ground.
　Its entire body is black, and its hippopotamus-like head, with fangs sticking out of its mouth, has two jaggedly bent horns. On its back, there is a transparent, round, membrane-like substance, and a black goblin can be seen inside.
　What's that?　I've only seen goblin-type things before, and now all of a sudden there's something that looks like a monster.......
　And anyway, I have to check the status.

　....Heh?　Hey, hey, hey, hey, you're not kidding!　What the hell is this thing?
　I mean, you're on a behemoth and that's foul!　You're kidding me!

They're coming!　Sis-Ha, that thing has an attack power of 4500!　Don't let the attack hit you!

'Wow!　I don't know if it's that expensive!　And, for now, there's only one of them, so let's run!

　The hulking, quadrupedal monster on which the goblin rides begins to move, and with each step it takes, this entire room shakes violently.
　I walk faster and faster, and the room reverberates with constant earthquake-like shaking and thumping sounds.
　There's no way I can stand up to this kind of thing without thinking about it, and Sisha and I turn and run.

''What the hell is that!　It's also very defensive!

'Magic ... there's no other way!　Okura-san, you were able to attack the wind attribute, right!

I can do it, but it's going to take a lot of work to pull it off!

　I discuss with her what to do while running. Fortunately, there's only one enemy, so we can run around.
　At one point, it has a wind attribute attack, so it's possible to attack through that defense. However, the behemoths themselves don't have the HP to be defeated, and it's tough to get them to reach that goblin. Or rather, it's impossible to hit it while it's moving.

　That extra goblin that's attached to it is probably its main body, but it's also dangerous to climb up there and attack it. Besides, that membrane looks thin, but it might be hard if it's benefiting from defensive power.
　We'll just have to run away from this one but then we'll have to leave Nol and the others behind. If we can defeat the goblins at our backs, there is a chance that we can break this situation as well. What to do........think, think, me.
