Although demons will occasionally appear in the second layer, the roads have been basically conquered and the roads are well maintained.
　It's like a cushion between the first layer where humans live and the demons below the third layer where they live.

　We effortlessly passed the second layer and proceeded to the third layer of the Necropolis attack underground.

　At the same time, Guardian Warrior Galerus' second unit and Magic Knight Leticia's third unit must have also entered the third layer from different ways.

　Around the time they entered the third layer, Creon said.

''We can't afford for the torches to go out like they did earlier. Sorry, but I'll have some of us take turns using the lighting magic.

　Creon called out to the members of his order.
　All of them seemed to be quite capable sorcerers, and that's why they continue to use only the simple magic of lighting magic.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of the depth of human resources in the attack team.
　However, the sorcerers who will be using only lighting magic will not be happy.

　I'm sure that since this is an unparalleled attack on ruins in history, they will want to play an active role in defeating a powerful enemy in a spectacular manner.
　If you're not, using lighting magic will delay your counterattack and put you in danger.

　One woman objected for that very reason.
　She was still more like a girl than a woman, but she was still old enough to be a girl.

　She was dressed in fine clothes all in black.
　Many other adventurers have worn it, so it must be the uniform of the Creon Salvation Knights.

　It's a functional and good-looking outfit, but the girl wearing it is quite petite, and the fact that her bangs are cut short makes her feel young.
　The expression on her face as she pouted in dissatisfaction was also innocent.

　Since she was chosen for the attack team at such an age, she must have a reasonable amount of magical ability.

''I didn't come here to turn on the lights!　I'm here to fight the demon race!

　Yes, that's right, and about two other sorcerers nodded.
　By nature, adventurers are often strong-minded people.

　They use their own strength to defeat their enemies, obtain the treasures of the ruins, and reap the benefits.
　It's no wonder that those who choose such a life style are reluctant to listen to other people's orders instead of being confident.

　Creon smiled with a smile, not seeming to be offended.

''You're Lisa the White Mage, who was a member of the Golden Seal Order.

'You remember my name?　There are so many of them.

　The girl called Lisa looked a little surprised.
　Creon nodded and said in a calm tone.

'Exactly. 'That's right, because you are my chosen people. I expect and believe that every one of you will contribute to this strategy. Defeating the demon tribe isn't the only contribution we can make.

　Creon cut off his words there, and there was a pause.
　Naturally, all eyes were on Creon.
　Then Creon stated emphatically.

''If this strategy of attacking the Necropolis succeeds, everyone here will have their names etched in history!　So I hope we each do our best to make that happen.

　Creon's speech was masterful.
　Indeed, if they succeeded, Creon and his men would be heroes.

　And those who died in the course of the campaign would be treated as heroes.
　Creon is prepared for the deaths of many adventurers in his campaign!

　As I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a slight sense of discomfort.
　An uncomfortable feeling, as if the flow of air had changed slightly.

　I have an unpleasant feeling.

　I quickly drew my treasured sword tetracord, took a precautionary stance and quickly pulled Filia into my arms.
　And that decision was correct.

　In the next moment, a gust of wind arose and I heard the screams of several adventurers at the same time.
　They were literally blown away by the wind.　

　Something swirling in the grayness rushed straight towards us.

''Get down!''

　Me and Creon both shouted at about the same time.
　Some adventurers, who still didn't understand what was going on, crouched down on the ground in response to the words.
　I also fall to the ground with Filia in my arms.

　Filia screams.

　The enemy plunges over our heads many times faster than a man and crashes into the wall of the ruins.
　A tremendous roar resounds and the area around us shakes loudly.

''It's a gray dragon species........!

　Amidst the smoke of the earth, Notaras murmured bitterly.
　It was a fearsome and formidable enemy that would sit on the thirty or forty layers if it were an ordinary ruin.

　Knights' leaders such as Sage Arte, Astrologer Flora, Supporting Mage Ducas, and Holy Knight Creon were indeed immediately in a battle stance and launched a simultaneous attack against the gray dragon species.

　Since it was a surprise attack, the other adventurers started to fight the dragons as well, although they couldn't respond properly at first.
　It was a spectacular sight to see a top-notch swordsman cut through the skin of the dragons and high ranking magic attacks rained down on them.

　But not all adventurers were able to stand back like that.
　Some of those caught up in the dragon's first blow seemed to be severely injured and unable to move.

　One of them was the white mage girl, Lisa.
　The girl was slumped against the wall, slumped and limp.

　I guess she couldn't move.

　And the enemy wasn't just dragons.
　There was a black wolf-like creature nearby.

　Of course, it wasn't as bad as the gray dragon species, but it was a pretty formidable demon race.
　As I recall, that was a 'magic stone wolf', a species native to this necropolis.

　It's not just a beast, it has a magical stone in the center of its body, and uses it as the basis for its various abilities.

　I read about it in a book I researched in the big library beforehand. I feel that the prep work has helped.

　The demon stone wolf, which was probably twice the size of the petite girl's body, turned its attention to her.

　Hee, Lisa let out a small scream.
　Her teary eyes were rattling and trembling.

　If this was the case, she would be killed for sure.
　No one is paying attention to Lisa, as everyone is too busy fighting the gray dragon species.

　I hesitated for a moment, trying to get in to help.
　The main reason I'm here is to protect Filia.

　But if I stay away from Filia, I can't help her if something happens to her.
　But Filia gently pushed me back.

"Go help that girl.

But...

'I'm everyone's commander in chief, even if it's just a formality, you know?　They have responded to my words. And I'm not going to leave you behind.

　Filia said emphatically and looked straight at me.

　I was lost, but even if I wasn't there, Nasha and Laskarus were also following Filia without a moment's separation from her, as we had discussed beforehand.

''........I understand. As Your Highness ordered, I will save that girl from the demon race.

Thank you. Solon you give us victory!

　I started to run and then pointed my treasure sword tetracord straight at the magic stone wolf.
