Mm, it's a little tight.
'This is certainly not...'

　The group had been making good progress since the demon was defeated. However, they now had a difficult look on their faces as they looked at the narrow path ahead. The path that could not be called a path that followed along the wall was so unreliable that if they missed even one step, they would fall right down.

　There is ground at a distance, but it's a 50-50 chance of survival if you fall.

　Seth, who looked fearfully downward, shook with a shaky body.

'Find another way~?

　Now that we can't use magic so easily, we must avoid the risk as much as possible. That was Rulimes' suggestion, though. Wraith takes a step forward.

''No, leave it to me. I'll make a way with 'Transformation'.

　This is where the alchemist's power is on display. Even if it is a narrow path, it doesn't matter if you remake it. By the way, it depends on the scale, but if an ordinary person tried to remake the path with alchemy, it would take more than a month lightly.

　Without regard to such things, Wraith put his hand on the ground. It will be a 'transformation' with a wide range, so it requires a little bit of concentration.

　The shape of the ground begins to change, right before that.

"You are not allowed to tamper with my territory!

　A muffled voice for what seems like the umpteenth time today.

　Furthermore, the sound of birds flapping their wings with a rustle echoes from overhead. But it's not the pretty sound of birds flapping their wings. It's a much rougher, heavier sound.

　The Wraiths looked up at the sky, triggered by the sound of large shadows and wings falling from overhead. In their field of vision, they saw a three-meter long bird-shaped demon with its red wings spread wide open.

　To the rear, there was no way to escape.

''Let's get away!''

　When Raffy said that, as if being played, they all tried to run in unison. However, a moment earlier, the demon flapped its wings forcefully.

　At the same time Raffy's tongue sounded, a gust of wind struck the Wraiths. I tried to lower myself and advance through the gust of wind, but the momentum was too strong. It's not very good, but there's no way to get out of it.

　Raffy is the only one who can move.

"Raffy, can't you do something about it?
I can't, that monster is not coming down here!

　In response to the interrupted Wraith's words, Raffy responds with a voice that is filled with impatience. The demons only use magic from above, so there's nothing Raffy can do about it either.

　She thought about throwing her sword and shooting them down, but it was obvious that the wind would prevent them from doing so.

''Wraith, use the ring!
Okay!

　He decides it's an emergency.
　Seth quickly decides to use the ring and tries to activate the magic.

　He turns his hand to the demon standing in the sky above him - he feels uncomfortable.
　What he's trying to activate is the same wind magic as the demon. However, the flow of magic power was clearly strange from the usual.

　Was it because of this place where the power of the spirits was working, or was it another reason?

　At the same time as Seth wondered, a strange sound of chirping and wind swirled around the place. The wind was generated on the ground, far away from Seth's aim.

''Nah...!

　Seth's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't made a mistake in manipulating magic, not even once in all these years. Something is not right.

　The magic leaves control regardless of Seth's will and goes out of control.

　It absorbed even the demon's magic and became huge in an instant. The wind that had been blowing around subsides for a blink of an hour or so.

　Then - an explosion.

　The tyrannical wind diffuses in a circle and pushes the bodies of the Wraiths. Only this time, even Raffy was enduring the wind, looking desperate.

　As a surgeon, Seth is the strongest victim of the wind. Besides, it caught him by surprise. Before he could endure it, his body was easily blown away and he was thrown backwards.

　To the rear of the cliff.

　Seth, with a look of anguish on his face, felt a floating sensation. It wasn't long before it shifted to the sensation of falling.

　What came to Seth's mind at that moment was a conversation with his brother, Alda. The unpleasant sensation he had felt during the conversation, plus the overtones of the parting words, replayed vividly.

　Goodbye, Alda had said.

'So that's what I think...!

　I've guessed all of this, but it's too late.
　What I saw in my vision was the sight of the Wraiths, who braved the wind and looked at us and opened their eyes.

''Cess!''

　Whatever he thought, Wraith ran up to the edge of the cliff and leapt (...). The voices of Lurimes and the others, surprised by his unusual behavior, follow.

　The fall began, and soon the sounds around him were drowned out by the sound of the wind breaking. Wraith grabbed Seth's wrist with a frantic look on his face. He then turns the palm of his free hand towards the approaching ground.

　There is a sound like a balin and glass breaking, and the 'Shock Resistance' ring that the Wraith wears takes effect. It killed most of the momentum of the fall, and the Wraiths landed without serious injury.

　Wraith throws his body on the ground and repeats his zealous breathing. Seth next to him was also in a thin, cold sweat. His beating heart told him that he was alive.

'Shh, I thought I was going to die...'

　I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it," he muttered as he got up and got down on one knee. I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　You will find that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.

'Are you okay, Seth?'

　He stands up and reaches out to Seth, who is still stunned.

'Oh. I'm sorry, it was my fault....
Well, don't worry about it. You sound surprised. What's going on?

　Grabbing Seth's hand, he tugged at it and made him stand up. Seth's expression was unflattering, and he was apparently looking back at his memories.

''Well it was probably my brother. I think he set up some kind of interference spell the day before.
Really?

　I can't find the words to put on, and I scratch my cheeks with a pollyanna.
　Seth chuckles and breathes heavily.

'Don't mind me, I'm sure you won't mind. More importantly, thank you for the help, thank you.
Oh.

　Wraith complied lightly and looked up at where he had fallen. It was a fall of a few seconds in terms of time, but it seemed like a long fall.

''Well, what do we do now?''

　The situation right now is, to put it simply, very bad. After all, there is no one who can fight. I've used Wraith's 'Shock Resistance' ring, and Seth's 'Magic Enhancement' ring isn't left either.

　Since we know that demons are going to appear in this volcano, we should meet up with Raffy and the others as soon as possible.

　However, we can't know what's up there from here. The Wraiths are thinking, "Should we wait for them to come looking for us here?

'Wraith, this isn't good........'

　Brought back to reality by Seth's voice, Wraith finally understood the situation. The concern didn't take long to hit the mark. He looked back and checked the figure behind him.

　It's the spinning demon that attacked the Wraiths first, the spinning demon that attacked the Wraiths first.

　Guillory turns a sharp gaze at the Wraith and spins his body around. As if it intended to take revenge on its companions, the hostility was poured out only on the Wraith.

　The rate of encounters with demons, as if they were being harassed by someone else, makes me want to cry.

''The shopkeeper didn't say that demons would appear in this volcano...!

　Wraith began to run to survive, disgusted by the escapades with the demons he was becoming accustomed to.
