In the mysterious vaults that resembled outer space, demons that were thought to be extinct were stored.
　These demons have been running rampant, releasing miasma.
　I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who would love to see the miasma, but there are a lot of people who would love to see the miasma.

　But even more than that, even though things are scattered around, this space, as well as the furnishings that have been erected don't seem to have been broken, which makes Lord Leinster's greatness stand out.

''Luciel, those demons have already been turned into undead, haven't they?
''It seems so. Considering the fact that the demon race was ahead of me, I guess I'm just sorry I couldn't get to the forest that leads to the World Tree...''
　I wanted to say out loud to Brad that his parents hadn't taught him not to waste food, but since he was already a Buddha, he decided to clean up his mess as soon as the Pope ordered him to.

It's a shame, but it's worth it. If you can't eat it, then, Luciel, you must purify this place too.
　After hearing my view, the Pope made a decision while looking at the demons with disappointment.
''I understand.''
　Behind me, everyone in the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad seemed to have a lot of thoughts about the burning of a precious demon that had never been eaten before.

　However, I still don't have enough opinions to overturn the Pope's decision, so I wanted to have another barbecue with the Holy Order of the War Maidens once this was all over, while I tried to activate the purification wave to control the pantry.
　Then the demons that have been indifferent to us opening the door to the larder now turn around and try to rush to us all at once.
　But it is already too late.

　As soon as the demons turned to face me, I released a cleansing wave, and as usual, the demons touched by the cleansing wave were enveloped in blue-white flames, dropping the magic stone and disappearing.

　
''Pope, is there such a thing as demons that had already lost their magic stones and were saved as food generating magic stones again by becoming undead?''

Basically, it's not there. I would like to say that this is also the work of the evil gods, but it's hard to know for sure since there are studies that create demons.

If this study was done, I'd like to destroy it completely somehow.
No.

　After purifying the magic stones that were lying around, I collected them into my magic bag and put the food that was scattered about in the first place and came to the door that the demons were rushing through.
You can only reach the doorway as few as possible.
What?
Mistress, Luciel, and the only other person who could possibly see it is Lumina.
　When I turned around after hearing Pope-sama's words, everyone except for Lumina-san had an obviously puzzled expression on their faces.

　Come to think of it, when Lydia and Nadia first entered this larder, they hadn't said anything about this door, and maybe they couldn't see it.

''Gentlemen, can you see the door here?''
I don't see it. Is there a door there?
　Elizabeth answered on behalf of me, but apparently this place may need the same qualifications as the sealed gate.

''Do you see it, Lumina-san?''
'I'm surprised because I can see it. Is it really safe beyond this door?
There's a great deal of forest ahead of us.
　We also know that the World Tree is on the side of that white fruit. It's just that Lumina-san seemed to be frightened.

'Lumina-san, do you see something?'
''It appears to be similar to the magical power that that door carries and the magical power of the demon race that Luciel-kun just fought against...''
　Could that be......... I had a bad feeling, so I decided to rush ahead.

''Lumina-san, I'll take Pope-sama and go on ahead. What about Lumina-san and the others?
Mr. Luciel. I will go with you. I want you all to stay here and be ready for any new enemy attacks.
""What."
　The War Maiden Holy Knights salute in front of Lumina-san.

''For God's sake, the War Maiden Holy Knights.
""What."
　And at the sound of the Pope's voice, he kneeled and prodded and hung his head.

'I leave it to you to guard this place to the death.
'Luciern, I've left the Pope and the captain in charge.
Master Luciel, I'll take care of this one.
You are in charge. We'll defend this place to the death.
　Marluka-san, Ripnea-san and Queena-san approached me in turn. I could sense the same willingness from everyone else to protect the two of them as well.

''Leave it to me. We'll open it then.''
　When I boldly opened the door, what jumped into view was a forest and the sight of a demon wandering around that should not have been there last time.
　And just as I had an unpleasant feeling a moment ago, I found an explosive sound that sounded as if they were fighting in the distance.

''It seems that they can't afford to be nonchalant. Pope-sama, please conserve your magic power. Lumina-san, I'm relying on you.
Assigned. Pope, I will protect you, Your Holiness.
You're both to cooperate.
"Yes, sir.　
　Normally it would be better to have Lumina-san lead the formation, but since Lumina-san doesn't know the location of the World Tree, I'll be in the lead, with Lumina-san in charge of the rear with the Pope in front and behind me.

　I draw my illusionary sword and activate the area barrier before advancing through the forest.
　Immediately the demons notice us and rush towards us, the demons like boars and wolves block the path, but--.
''We're too late, even slower than our masters, even slower than the demons in the labyrinth.
　If you slash the illusionary sword with magical power, it will immediately burn pale and disappear, leaving behind a magical stone.
　The demons that appeared in this forest did not seem to have turned into undead. Even so, they still disappear, leaving only the magic stone behind.
It's like a labyrinth...
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

　However, the troublesome thing here are the spider and snake type demons that set traps in the forest.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

　It's a good idea to put on the power of sanctuary armor and fire dragons and pretend that the trap itself didn't exist.
　This way, even if you're caught in a trap, the trap will burn on its own at that moment, so there's no hassle.

　Even so, the state of borrowing the power of the dragon consumes a lot of magic power, and since we don't know what's going to happen in the future, we really don't want to use it too much.
　However, I can sense a look from the Pope and Lumina-san from a while ago as if they want to say something, but we'll have to meet up with the spirits first.

　In the meantime, when the place where the World Tree was supposed to be located came into view, I caught sight of the visible wind wards and the exhausted figure of Lydia with those wards in place.
''Not good.''
　When the wind boundary that Lydia had put up became uneasy, I saw a number of rocks that seemed to have considerable mass flying towards me.

　I decided that it was too risky to shoot them down from this distance, so I immediately activated my sanctuary warding to cover the wind warding, and immediately afterwards, an explosion sounded and dust rose up.

''Luciel!''
　I nodded to the Pope, who looked worried.
'Both Lydia and the World Tree are safe. It just looks like it won't be good if we don't defeat the source of the problem.　　
　I don't know if there's more than one demon or if there's a vicious demon in the area, but if this is the case....
''Luciel-kun, go. If it's only the demons here, even I can protect the Pope, even if it's me, Luciel-kun, I'll protect the Pope rather than have him come back.
　Then Lumina-san pushed me back.　
''If the World Tree is destroyed, the point of bringing them here will be lost. Pope, may I have your permission?
Of course we will. We will save you, my son.　
Ha!
　I moved low to Lydia's front as I glided with the help of the Holy Dragon, Wind Dragon, and Thunder Dragon, and I found out who was attacking Lydia.
　Lydia had more than one hydra, which was probably traumatized by Lydia, as well.

''Luciel-sama, thank you for your help.
　Lydia smiled in relief when she saw me.
''Good job. I'm going to go take them down quickly, so use this to restore your magic power.
　I tell her that and toss the magic crystal sphere to Lydia, and also use the extra heel to recover it.
''Thank you, Luciel-sama,''
　With those words at my back, I ran towards the multiple hydra.
