"What the hell is this ......?"



　The moment the ordeal began, we were blown away.

　No, not just us, but the rest of the temple.



　We have survived the trials using information passed down from generation to generation.

　We knew every detail of the trials, and unless we were very stupid, we would not be trapped .......



"Isn't this just like the other ......?"



　Yes, they are different.

　The ordeal itself is the same.

　But the movements are completely different.

　It's much faster and much more complicated.

　One moment you think there's a pillar that sticks straight out, and the next it feints at you.

　Just when you think that, a colleague of mine who was standing right next to you is blown away by a pillar that sticks out from right below you.



The same but completely different, was the impression I got from this ordeal.

To be honest, the only reason I'm still alive is because I happened to be working in an office, hunched over and face to face with papers every day, and was able to avoid the pillar that passed right over me with just a sliver of paper. I feel sad to say it myself.



But I don't think I can keep avoiding all these attacks.

　Not only me, but the other members of the temple are unable to make any moves.

　Who can win this ordeal in such a state?

　Wouldn't this mean that all the temples would be wiped out?



　That's when I thought.



"Hey, look at that!



　For a moment, I thought it might be a trap by the other participants to distract my attention, but then I realized that they could not afford to set such a trap in this situation, so I decided to get as much information as I could from her (?). He looked in the direction where the man pointed.

　And then I saw an unbelievable sight.



"What?



　There was a group of people who were moving forward, avoiding the ordeal moving at an abnormal speed as if nothing had happened.



"Is that ...... the temple of the Lord God?



　Yes, they were the participants of the Temple of the Lord God.

　Their movements were terrifying.

　They avoided the approaching traps as if they were slipping through them.



"Is that ...... really a human being?"



"Are you sure it's not a ghost?"



　I can understand why you would say that.

　But an unclean spirit of death cannot enter a holy place.

　Then it is definitely a living person. I doubt if it's even human, judging from the way it moves.

　But there was one figure in particular...



"What the ......"



"It's as if they were dancing."



　The daughter of the priestess of the Lord God, who was leading the tail end of the group, was dodging all the traps with a single stroke of the paper.

　Her movements were different from those of the others.

　Quite the opposite. But this was not due to inexperience, for the way she evaded the traps with her whole body swaying and turning was as if she were dancing.



"Dancing Princess of the Lord God ......"



　Someone mutters a sigh.

　But that feeling is also understandable.

　That's how beautiful that dance is.

　Beautiful, but I don't see the beauty in ......



"It's so ephemeral, it's as if it's about to disappear. ......"



　As a servant of the night god who presides over the peace of the dead, I saw that dance as if it were the dance of a bodiless spirit or a spirit.



　Tracy



"I'm going to die!"



　I was now, for the first time in my life, terrified of death.



"Hu!



　No really, how many times have I almost died in the past few days?



"Huh!"



　Isn't life a little too dense these days?



"Fnaaaaah!"



　I'd like to dilute it with a lake full of water if I could!



"Oops, this could be dangerous if I'm not careful."



　And you're avoiding it with plenty of time to spare, Janet!



"Everyone, the difficulty level is not so great, but let's be sure to keep moving forward so we don't get caught off guard!"



"""""Yes! """""



　No, no, not so much at all.




　I wanted to say so, but I didn't have the time to say so. ......



　◆ ◆ Foca



"Oh, come on, Foca, that's not what you said!"



　It was Rameez who complained to me as I was desperately trying to avoid the ordeal.



"Yes, you're right!　It's a lot different from what I've heard!"



　Having said that, both Rameez and Roddy can barely evade the attack, which is what you'd expect from an S-rank adventurer.



"But that doesn't mean we can run away."



　Risou can't avoid everything, but he adjusts his hit points and barely manages not to get blown away.



"But, well, it's not bad training."



"You can't even train yourself. Look around you, most of the guys are getting blown up.



　Indeed, most of my colleagues have been blown away, except for Risow and the others.

　The situation is much better in the temple of the Mother of the Earth, which requires S-rank adventurers.



But it seems that all of them are safe.



　As I speak, everyone's eyes turn to the lead group.



"I thought he was the only one who was insane.



"I guess that means you can keep up with the insanity as long as you're one of us."



That's why it's worth competing!



　It's a good thing we hired them.

　An ordinary person would have looked at this situation too calmly and would have given up on going through the ordeal.

　But not them.

　They are S-rank adventurers who can calmly understand the overwhelming disadvantage of the situation, and yet, with even more passion, they are able to find a way to reverse the situation!



"Geez!"



"Rummyyyyz!!!"



　......Because I'm an S-rank adventurer .
