141-140 ◇The first layer, guard dog and "hell flame" area (middle)




 


 There were cheers all over the video room.
 It was because the plan had been put in place at a time when the timing couldn't have been better.

 Nevertheless, the important thing is the enemy's response after this.

 Not only in the first layer, but also when asked for my opinion, I responded each time.

 Basically, each dungeon has a "recommended attack level".
 This corresponds to a level rating that is given to adventurers separately from rank.
 A dungeon or area in the same level range as the adventurer's is considered to be worthy of a viewers' attention.

 Then, the dungeon side can't make changes to each attack too explicitly.
 If the structure of the monsters, traps, and areas that appear in the game changes significantly, the worst case scenario is that there will be a gap between the recommended level and the game.

 The dungeon is expected to expose you to the same kind of threats no matter who is challenging it.
 There are exceptions, of course, but the basic principle is this.

 That's why there's no culture of researching the adventurers who challenge you, looking for weaknesses and taking countermeasures.
 The only place you can do that is in an all-level dungeon.

 However, if you recall how I was recruited by the General Staff, it's a different story.
 I'm here to make the viewer believe that it's okay for me to win, even if I'm a demon.

 If the idea doesn't exist in the first place, let's start by instilling it.
 In any other place, it might be a problem, but this is an impregnable demon castle.
 It's the only dungeon that has never been completely conquered by people.

 I wouldn't be blamed for doing something different to drive the adventurers back to earth.
 Fortunately, the demons in the Demon King's Castle are greedy for victory.
 It may be that my words have become more persuasive since I defeated Fenix and the others.

''As expected of Remegaton-sama's leadership.

 I shake my head slightly at Carmilla's words.

"Only if they're good at it themselves.

 I'm an adventurer geek by nature, so I can provide information much faster than they can watch a vast amount of strategy videos.
 The time I spend gathering information has been put into training, and it is the first layer of people who have made it to a level that will work in the real world. 

 No matter how good a strategy you come up with in front of your desk, it's meaningless if there's no one to execute it.
 And no matter how well things seem to go, the one who can break through is the creature called 【Brave Man】.

 I used to see 【Flame-Brave Man】 up close and personal, and I know what I'm talking about.
 Even after falling into a desperate predicament, the brave men and women snatch victory.

The battle is not won.

 He muttered in his mouth.

 Multiple threats hit the adventurers at the same time.
 So naturally, multiple things happen at the same time.

 First, the aerial party.
 This is indeed the first place party. There was the least amount of fluctuation(,).

 If we were to break them down, the first person I could think of would be [Gale Hero] Yuan-kun.
 After all, he's a newcomer who just joined.

 I asked Gura-san to be his opponent. It's the [Invisible Murderer] Grasshara Ballast.
 His wings, which are reminiscent of a bird of prey, are huge to match his large beast-like physique.

 Just before he released his own invisibility, he put down the multiple [Black Demon Dogs] and - [Trainer] that he carried on his back.
 The sudden descent after undoing the invisibility is to prevent him from realizing the landing of his friends by turning his consciousness towards himself.

 Even that Beulah-san made a mistake in her first attack.
 [Black Mage] Reme wasn't incompetent, was he? Even she, who was always more sober in her judgments than usual and unconventional to the point of being able to think how could she think, had a tendency to feel overwhelmed.

 No need to think it over.
 She was taking on the final attack target of all adventurers, just out of the cultivation institution.
 And as a rookie in a high-ranking party.
 It would be impossible to tell him not to be nervous.

 In fact, Ewan-kun was so impatient with the sudden attack that his interception was lackluster.
 But he wasn't going to be chewed up by Gura-san.

 Mr. Gura, who had crashed into an invisible wall, was played with a pained groan.

'Calm down, Ewan, we're here,'

 It's Aerial-san, the brave man of the storm.
 His other companions didn't move when they could have attacked Gura-san.

 --Limited, no, no.

 That was Ewan-kun's mistake. We can and usually should cover for this as friends.
 But that's if Ewan-kun himself is comfortable with this party.

 If his friends covered for his mistake in this situation, Yuan-kun would lose his confidence. He would blame himself terribly. It's not easy to regain lost confidence.
 The Aerial Party is going to have to make up for it themselves at this time.

"You're going to prove to everyone who watches this that you are who you say you are. You're going to prove to everyone who watches this that you are who you are.

 Mr. Aerial put his hand on my shoulder, that's all. On the face of it, that's all.
 But for the boy, it's more than that.

 The eyes of the 【Gale Hero】 catch the 【Storm Hero】, the 【Samurai】, the 【Red Lotus Wizard】, the 【Sword Alchemist】, the 【Gale Hero】.
 And in the next moment, his eyes and breathing return to their normal state.

''Yes.''

 The number one ranked party in the world was waiting for me.
 They gave me a chance to redeem myself.
 That meant that they believed that it was possible for me to do it.

 Anyone who would still be scared off by this would never be able to serve as a brave person.
 One wing of Gura-san, who had regained his stance, was cut off from the middle of the next moment.

''----?

 It was due to Ewan-kun's wind blade.

''I'm the Aerial Party's, [Gale's Hero].

 This is not the end of Mr. Gura. He makes himself invisible again.

 On the other hand, the trio side of the Skaha Party, which is divided into two places.

 Once again, [Faceless Archer] Suri-san's skill is tremendous.
 Even I, who know that she is using elven magic according to Lily's information, am surprised. From the perspective of those who don't, it's an unreasonable divine feat.

 I'm sure they interfere with the atmosphere through wind magic and have a rough idea of what's happening within the reach of their magic power.
 It's said that he exerts his 'senses' on the space through the magic power. If something passes within that sphere, they can feel it as if they can touch it with their hands.

 That's why it is possible to perceive objects that pass through the space even if they are invisible.
 Originally, it seems to be a spell to find the location of the prey that is hiding its breath.

 Because it requires very delicate magic manipulation, its duration was originally short, and it's normal to not be able to do anything else while it's activated.
 Although it was impossible to judge exactly through the screen, but from the reaction speed, he activated for a long time and then continued to 'divine speed'.
 That's how much of a proof that his technique is outstanding.

 But it's not perfect.
 The range of 『Sense』 deployment could be roughly measured by the first [Black Demon Dog] attack.
 Also, it turned out that the ones who were falling were not shot through, so it was not deployed in all directions.

 It would be possible if he wanted to do it, but as mentioned above, it was a technique that required delicate magic manipulation. He must have narrowed down the deployment points to reduce the burden at his discretion.

 The 【Black Demon Dog】 is leaving the scene at a tremendous rate.
 But--.

''Be careful, it's not just [Black Demon Dog].

 By the time I realized it, it was too late.

'Huh?'

 A knife pierces the neck of [Magic Bullet Shooter] Karina-san.

 A large 【Black Demon Dog】 running from outside of Suri-san's sensing range, the 【Trainer】 on its back leaps just in time to enter the sensing range.
 The 【Trainer】 who jumped in the air as if to draw an arc, his invisibility was lifted because he got too close to Karina-san, but at the same time, he succeeded in inserting the knife into her neck.

''I got it........!

 In order to draw attention to himself, [Trainer] deliberately shouts out to draw attention to himself.
 It's because if he can take away the consciousness of the other members for a moment, that momentary amount of time [Black Demon Dog] can move forward.
 That decision is not wrong.

 Unless the other party is Carina-san.

''This one too.''

 She's a [hunter] who shoots her enemies and retreats even while she's being blown up by a demon's blow.
 You can't expect to be upset when someone suddenly appears in front of you and gives you a fatal wound.
 If she was stalling for time, she should have left immediately.

 She immediately grabbed the arrow that she had pulled out of the arrow barrel and stabbed it straight into the back of [Trainer]'s eardrums.
 Her face was filled with a thin smile.
 Carina-san, who retreated [Trainer] as it was, muttered apologetically, ''I'm going to fall,'' and readied her bow.

''Master, please forgive my hapless disciple.

 Karina-san had been hesitant to shoot an arrow until now, but then she continued to shoot as much 'god speed' as she could in the extremely short time before she exited.

 If it was true, she wanted to take aim. I should have wanted to find out where the enemy was and shoot them out.
 But if that didn't happen, and another exit was right around the corner.
 It's a good idea to try to cut down the enemy, even if it's haphazardly.

 As a matter of fact, four 【Black Demon Dogs】 and one 【Trainer】 were shot out before she disappeared.
 Even if this one managed to pave the way for their defeat, they would not be killed for free.
 Even against an invisible enemy, an opponent that is unable to make use of its own abilities, it will fight through without retreating.

 [Archer of Magic Bullets] Karina, exit.

 And when those things were happening, Wraith-kun and the others--.
