The young girl's thoughts are painted over with fear as her duties as a magician and troop member are erased.
　Seniat's scream was immediately delivered to everyone as a warning.
　And before anyone can see the source of the scream, Seniat pulls away from his friends like a de-rabbit.

　Even Ferrinella, who was about to say "Seni", cowered at the sign of goosebumps.
　Fear is easily propagated by inexperienced troops. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　In addition to that, an unusual odor that I am not accustomed to smelling - that's right, a faint smell of decomposition pierces my nostrils.

　In any case, Ferrinella, who immediately judged that it's not good enough in this small space--.

''Run!''

　He instructed everyone in a strident voice.

'I can't do that one!

　Seniat, who had leapt to the front of the pack in one fell swoop, shouted that and fled furiously.
　You can't blame Seniat alone, of course. You are a little inexperienced to be able to fight valiantly. The threat of demons is not limited to power in any way.
　It is an odd shape that is outside of the natural world. Eerily, inexplicably, the horrific shape of the demon is almost enough to make humans fearful.

　If possible, Felinella did not want to fight that thing. It makes me feel deeply disgusted and uncomfortable.
　If I were to tell you the truth, I would want to rip them off in one fell swoop, like Seniat from the tail end of the line. Barely the captain's sense of responsibility had calmed her down - she didn't want to be exposed to the abomination.

　A succession of footsteps gradually closing in on her.

　--What's with the [Corpse Covered (Gooper)]!

　While swearing inwardly, Felinella considers her response.
　The metallic sound that can be heard from behind is caused by the three legs that resemble the hardened stakes of the [Corpse Covered (Gooper)]. Perhaps they are emitting a high-pitched sound when they hit the ore or hard bedrock.

　However, if it's to this extent, there's not much difference in the type and shape of even demons that take the shape of a [Spider].
　Yes, the problem is the main body that hits the upper half of the body.
　The [Gooper] wears the skin of a corpse, and because of this, it sometimes emits a strange odor, which is close to the smell of decay. And what they wear is without exception the rawhide of a dead body.

　It's on the top of the list of demons you don't want to encounter, in a sense, even among mages.

　Felinella flew her voice towards Illumina, who was at the front of the pack while running and could not accurately grasp the situation.

''The [Corpse Covered (Gooper)] is on the way!　I'll return fire somewhere in the open!
Yes, sir.

　It was Illumina's voice that responded, and the two remaining boys seemed to be having none of it. A beat later, an understanding is returned.

　We have to think about a strategic retreat, but the possibility of [corpse cover (goopers)] encountering other troops is not unlikely. It's a demon that moves instinctively, but in recent years, there have been a number of individuals with wisdom, reportedly. And [Gooper], even if instinctively, becomes hardened or mimics the body by covering it with a corpse.

　It's hard to believe that that horrible appearance is mimicry, but it's also hard to think that it's done for mischief.

　Originally, the body of a [corpse-covered (gooper)] was extremely soft. In some reports, it is even said to be gel-like. That's probably why it's clothed as a nesting receptacle like shellfish. However, of course, it is not the body of a demon, so decomposition proceeds.
　This is the cause of the strange smell.

　Right now, the 【Gooper】 that is closing in on Felinella and the others is...
　It may be covered with some kind of skin, but judging from the progress of the decomposition, it is already darkened and reddish-black as if it were rusted, and it looks as if its entire body was covered with some worn-out robe.

　The unnaturally stretched sleeve-like arms and hooded silhouette must have given Seniat a human-like appearance.

　I don't want to imagine it, but if it had just died, its upper body would have looked like that of a human. I wondered if the dimpled eye sockets would be all black, and the paper-thin skin would ripple with air.
　For a moment, but as far as Felinella could see, it must be covered in some way, but it was already hardened and its body part was armor.

　However, it was certain that they would eventually catch up with him if he continued like this. Even if they continue to run away like this, the odds of being able to escape would be low.
　Obviously the continuous footsteps hit the ear folds violently.

　There are other voices in the ears of Ferrinella, who is at the back of the pack, as well as Illumina's voice as she tries to calm Seniat down at the front of the pack.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a large room or a pocket, as if Seniat, who was running at the front of the pack, had found a ray of light.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about this.

''Illumina, we'll meet you there!
Yeah.

　Illumina certainly received Felinella's intentions. With the exception of Felinella, Illumina was the only one with the power to hunt instantly in this place.
　The first group enters the room "Pocket" and immediately reverses, and at the same time as Felinella jumps into the room, she intercepts the corpse-covered (goopers) in the passage.
　The problem is the rate of the corpse-covered goopers.

　Now that Seniat, who is also the measuring officer, has escaped, he was unable to measure it accurately.

　--Originally, the C-rate.........but.

　Felinella grips the hilt of the AWR inserted into her waist to test her concerns. Felinella's AWR is a stabbing weapon like a rapier, but her large-scale magic with it is limited. Now that she can't even draw it out in time, she keeps her movements to a minimum and spins her magic as fast as she can.

　The scabbard floats, and magical formulas are carved into the rounded sword blade in a spiral pattern.

　Gripping the hilt and floating the blade slightly out of its scabbard, Felinella poured her magic power into it.
　Without slowing down her running speed, after a soft and light step, Felinella lifted her body into the air and caught her target with half her body.

　The arm opposite to the one that gripped the hilt was thrust out--.

　--【Compressed Bullet Air 【Blast】

　The magic power concentrated there as he opened his hand, making the mithril around him shine intensely as well.
　Immediately after saying the magic name inwardly, the magic power made the proof of its light source disappear. Of course, it wasn't a dud, and the proof of it was a localized blast that slammed down from the front of the demon. It is a wind system magic included in the middle class. Air bullets are shot into the demon to block the passage.

　Normally, this would be accompanied by a shock that would peel off the exterior of the demon--.

　--I knew it.

　My guess is correct.
　The demon that was supposed to be a direct hit turned its upper body upside down and stabbed its feet deep into the ground and endured it. Once there was a large impact, but it soon subsided, and the demon began to run again.

　The location of the demon nucleus was almost certainly at the top. But the outer skin of the cover that was supposed to be a decoration protecting it neutralized the magic.
　It wasn't completely pointless, but something black and blood-like liquid dripped from the upper body.
　And rather than drifting, it was obvious that it was emitting a strong, strange odor.

　Felinella picked up speed and followed, seeing that her companions ahead of her were out into the open space.
　The plan was to wait on both sides of the exit as a legitimate attack, and then attack the demons that had escaped at once, but--

　Right after Felinella jumped into the room 《pocket》.
　The companions were not prepared to intercept the [corpse-covered goopers] at all.
　On the contrary, they were in the center of the room, preparing themselves against a different direction.

　The voice that started out, "What are you doing?" went back to the back of my throat right after Felinella confirmed the situation.
　All of them are ready to fight with their backs to the ground.

What do you want, Feri?

　Felinella couldn't return the tingling voice that questioned her immediately.
　There was no guarantee that the destination was safe.

　Surrounding Felinella's troops was the appearance of a new demon - four of them.
　Felinella, who turned her back on her comrades at the back of the line, looked at the [Corpse Covered (Gooper)] behind her. Although there is no confirmation, but still, in light of the situation..........

''Lured in.
