Ars, who had been talking about the policy, suddenly switched his consciousness.
　Similarly, everyone's consciousness also diverged from Ars's story.

　Although it can't be said to have a good outlook, this basement level two is still a large space unlike the upper floors. It can be said to be vast in terms of space, just because of the large number of pillars that stand in disarray.
　That's why the doubts about allowing the enemy to get so close to us arose.

　A swarm so large that I didn't even have to look around--.

　I've been surrounded," Fanon said lightly, but her eyes turned to the detection mages of her unit.
　There was no doubt about Exeles' ability to be the number one ranked detection mage among the detection mages. Despite this, she noticed its presence at the same time as the other magicians.

　Loki also curled his lower lip and bit it, as if he realized his own unawareness, but in this case, no one could blame him.

　There was no need to check the situation, but Ilyce took the initiative to open his mouth.

''Lowly dwarf, [Bodos].

　Ilyce's sharpened gaze is gazing at the deformed dwarf that has been surrounding him for some time now.
　The individual name Bodos--the threat level is considered to be D-rate, and it is not such a difficult opponent for mages who go out into the outside world. For some reason, there are few reported cases of the dwarf in Alpha, but it is a species that has been commonly seen in neighboring Rusalka and Krebidito.
　It is small in stature, with a slender build, and closer to human form than the Ledgemonkey. While the Ledge Monkeys use the trees as their territory, the [Bodos] mainly operate on the ground.

　Their outer skin cracked like dried mud, each one small as a child.
　The threat of magic is relatively low if you are wary of their arm strength above their size.

　But that's if it's as per the database of demons common to all countries.

　Ilyce spat out with a tongue-in-cheek momentum.

''Why would Bodos have a weapon?''
'Don't ask me. I know it's a bit shallow to call it demonic evolution, but...
Evolution is evolution. Think later, Ars, think later.
I know.

　It's a bit premature to determine that it's a weapon, but it looks like a sword-like shape or a shield-like armor, and that's what you'll see. The reason I said I could not determine is because they resembled the outer shells of demons. To the demon's unique black it.

''Al, apparently that's not all there is to it.

　Bringing his hands to his hips, Loki slumped down and braced himself to fight at any moment.
　Seeing where Loki had communicated with his gaze, Ars breathed in dismay, "Looks like it," he said with a disgusted breath.

　The reason he hadn't noticed Bodos' approach.
　It was the pillars that supported the floor and ceiling of this vast space. Equal to the trunks of giant trees, they stored a mithril glow inside, but Bodos was crawling out of them one by one.
　It was as if they had been in a long sleep.

　Of course, they weren't materially buried. The pillars from which the bodos emerged showed no signs of collapsing.

'Mutation rate confirmed.

　It's difficult to determine what threat level they are currently included in based on their magical power perception and other factors.
　The D-rate is for one individual, and swarming-type demons are much more powerful in numbers.

　It can be assumed that the reason why the interior of the deposit is different from the demons in the outside world is because the deposit has been closed for a long time. In particular, the underground hierarchy could be determined by looking at the map of Balmes.
　In other words, it was only within this deposit that the competition for survival was taking place.

　The countless red dots glowing suspiciously were burning with rage, or perhaps it was a somewhat insane eye light. They were so blood-rushed that the eyeballs themselves seemed to be filled with the color of blood. Bodos's steps, which were somewhat unconscious, were shaking his shoulders from side to side.
　The number of demons crawling out of the pillar one after another continued to grow as if they were filling up the vast space.

　Their rough breathing appealed to me that it was a creature.

　It became completely surrounded, and both Ars and Ilysses entered a battle stance.
　Even if you release the [Permanent Freezing Realm 《Nibbleheim》], it will probably be taken care of in an instant. However, I can't assure you that the current Arus won't have any problems assembling it.

　--Well, what should we do?

　In a moment of contemplation as he held out his hand to the AWR, Loki stepped forward in front of Ars.

'Leave it to me!'

　It was Loki who shook his silver hair and spoke so forcefully, but immediately afterwards the ground shook with a grand impact sound.
　In the center of the faintly dancing dust, Fanon leapt on the spot, pointing the muzzle of the huge AWR gun like a mortar in the air to the ground.

　The feverish barrel of the gun needed a cooling period, and the complex and bizarre magical formula that floated in the barrel of the gun dimmed the light in a thin line.
　Landing heavily, Fanon tucked the barrel into the tubular compartment that had been prepared in advance.
　Looking through the hole he had made with his own magic, Fanon put a finger to his chin and said, "Maybe I didn't need a hundred? I muttered.

'Well, all right. Get the hell out of this hole.
You're cute.
'Shut up. When you finish cleaning this floor, you can help me out while you're at it. I'll be free soon anyway.

　Taking advantage of her goodwill, Ars, Ilyce and Loki immediately jumped into the hole she had opened for them.

'Very well. Help Ilyce if you can.
'Woah!　Remember that, Ars!　I don't remember being old enough to have this sniveling little girl help me. I'll help you.
Let's not hold our breath.
'Al!　I can see it.

　At one of Loki's bracing voices, Ilyce started to prepare to go downstairs.
　It was unclear about the magic Fanon had unleashed, but the ground was probably hollowed out more neatly than Ars would have done.
　So in an instant, with no vibration, he had made a huge hole in the ground.
　Thankfully, the hole continued through the next three underground levels to the fourth level.

''Well, I'm going to go and get rid of it as soon as possible.

　Ilyce, who was in charge of the three underground levels alone, slowed down and let Ars and Loki go first.

'I'm sorry, but when you're done, either Fanon or Ilyce, one of you can take the upper guard.
It's obvious. You should have just picked me, you f*cking idiot!

　Ilyce, who was descending while shaking the hem of his robe violently, said such a thing with his mouth agape.
　In fact, it would be more convenient in some way for Ilyce to return to the ground after requesting it directly, but as Ars, he was only suggesting it just in case.

　Ilyce kept Ars and Loki below in sight and adjusted his speed by kicking the wall surface several times to the level where he should descend. The two of them continued to pass through the three levels, diminishing in size as they made their way to the fourth underground level.

　I've landed on the level that I was assigned, Ilyce stretched out her slightly slack legs and slowly looked around.

'Well, I have a job to do,' he said. From the way he talks, I'm sure the guys above him are worried about him too.

　It's not hard to understand. A colleague of the school who is an acquaintance of Ars was taken away. Regardless of the outcome, Ars will be exhausted and will have a high rate of return to earth.

I'm not sure what to make of it. Kuhk.

　With a bit of a stifled laugh, Ilyce reminded herself that this was true for her.

'Well, that's why I'm here now. Good good good.''

　This kind of thing is also a magician.
　A beautiful image of a wizard that he himself discarded long ago. That's another thing, Ilyce lifted the edge of his mouth to inspire himself.

　Then with a bang, Ilyce shook the sleeve of her robe and lifted her left hand. The small, thin child's hand closes one of her amber-tinted eyes.
　When she shifted to wipe it off, it was filled with a pure blue that reminded her of azure skies.

''Let me hunt with all my might from the beginning.

　Ilyce opened his magic eye and started to run with unnoticeable speed.
