Chapter 185 – Encounter
Her goons’ eyes were on her as Ignis ransacked her.
She took advantage of the gap and pulled out her wagon.
Just in case, it was necessary to protect the two weakest armed forces.
“Eileen, Marie. Get into the carriage.”
“All right. Master.”
“Master. I will help too.”
“Eileen, it’s okay. I don’t want to show you, my disciple, a bad look.”
“S-Master…”
Eileen made a moved expression as if the line had worked.
“Is it time for a new wave drama? Ignis-sama, what should I do?”
Ayla pours cold water on the affectionate atmosphere between the priests.
“How do you do it? Ignis alone will be able to organize everything.”
Seeing Ignis’ confidence on the way here, the party nodded their heads tremblingly.
She’s the one who used to play and tank with that big mid-level erosion body by herself. If she put her mind to it, she would have been able to deal with it in an instant, but it can be said that she sacrificed in a sense for the sake of the party.
There was no one who could be a threat to Ignis.
There’s no way a guy like that would be guarding a place like this.
Their purpose toward us was clear.
Is there any reason to show mercy?
For that reason, there was no need to dry Ignis.
“Stop!!”
“Oh, looks like an Auror Master?”
“Eh, Master is human too. You will be tired Push!”
You might be tired
That wasn’t the future for them.
Ignis was running amok like a lion among the rats.
I saw guys stealing their butts.
I blew a magic spear at those guys and stuck them in.
I could see the guys shooting arrows at Ignis from the top of the wooden fence.
Although he wouldn’t be a threat to her to that extent.
It was time to show off my magic.
Although Explosion had wide-area damage, it was useless in party battles.
It’s magic that’s optimized for use in something like that.
Is it finally time to show the power of the upgraded Explosion’s maximum output?
It blew magic enough to make the wand tremble.
A large sphere of magical power the size of a gimbal.
An extra-large Explosion was created.
Seeing that, Luna and Ayla look a little fed up.
“Hey, can we drop it here?”
Ayla’s eyes.
It was the assistant instructor’s gaze at the private with a grenade.
I aimed at the left wooden fence.
“Good. Maximum Power Explosion.”
A large orb of magical energy fired from the tip of the staff flew rapidly.
And hit the wooden fence.
– Kwaaaaang!!!
The wooden fence literally exploded with a spectacular explosion.
The ground vibrates at the impact, and the hair flutters pleasantly in the warm after-storm.
The wooden fence on the left completely collapsed with a single Explosion. Of course, those who were shooting arrows on top of the wooden fence also disappeared.
It was a heart-breaking sight.
I aimed the Explosion on the other side as well.
I saw those who had been dazed by my great magic, contemplated when they saw me about to launch an Explosion, and then jumped down the fence.
Explosion also exploded on the right side of the fence.
-Quaang!!!
Now the wooden fence surrounding the cave has disappeared without a trace, leaving only a little bit at the end.
In the meantime, Ignis also grabbed one of them by the hair and dragged it.
“Lord. One guy left.”
It had lost several teeth and was bleeding from the corners of its nose and mouth.
At first, he was the guy who grabbed the poop in front of us.
“Keugh…”
The reason why Ignis had to bring him alive was…
Are you asking for an interrogation?
I don’t really have any questions right now…
Ignis’ gaze was hot.
In that gaze, I could feel the eyes of a dog that was hoping for something.
Are you asking for praise?
“Good job. Ignis.”
“Whoops. Lord. It’s nothing.”
“Keugh! You guys are no ordinary adventurers. Where did you send it? Are you a slubber lord?”
Even though he was beaten by Ignis, his eyes were still alive.
“I ask the questions.”
“Hey, do you think I will answer?”
It was a great gig.
“Okay?”
I wasn’t interested either.
As I glanced at Ignis, Ignis raised the spear.
In a little while, his head will be smashed to death.
The boy’s eyes trembled.
“Now, wait.”
Didn’t know that I wasn’t interested.
Or is Ignis’s spear scary?
Still, it seemed he didn’t want to die.
“Belong.”
“…All of them are the Dark Blood Clan…”
“Everything, Dark Blood!!”
“Haha. Now do you know what you guys touched?”
-Puck!
“Kuuk!”
The bastard who kicked him in the face broke off a few more cobs and added more teeth that were vacant.
“Tsk. He pretended to be surprised, but then he became arrogant…”
If it’s Dark Blood, aren’t they the ones who tried to rob us a week ago…
“Is this your property?”
“…That’s… Not. This place is jointly owned by our clan and the three adventurer guilds. We’re just managing it.”
Are the 4 groups all in one?
It was simply a story that four large corporations got together and monopolized from the 11th floor.
“Your lord?”
“Do you know how strong the power is when the four groups join forces? Even the lord can’t do anything to us.”
“Is that all you know?”
Perhaps feeling my words live, he said urgently.
“I know the secret of the tenth and eleventh floors.”
“Secret? What is that…”
“That…If it saves my life, I’ll let you know.”
“…”
“It’s a really big secret!! I will never tell you unless you save my life!”
“Hmm…That’s an important secret enough to risk your life.”
“Yes!”
-Puck!
A magic spear was placed on the guy’s face.
“It’s more important than life, but I can’t help it.”
I was thinking of going back anyway.
I wasn’t even curious.
You’ll find out later when you go downstairs.
I raised my senses to see if there were any survivors and looked inside the mess.
Inside a wooden building, a survivor came to his senses.
But he was a common man.
I was wondering what to do and decided to just leave it alone.
He’s a stupid common man
Is there any reason to find it and kill it?

After destroying the guys blocking the entrance to the passageway on the 11th floor of the labyrinth, we decided to take care of ourselves and return.
In their situation, you might wonder why they would come back anyway.
I also had no intention of devastating this place simply because I didn’t like it.
At first, I thought I would just check it out and go back.
It’s what the guys did.
It’s not my fault.
The goal was also achieved, and following Ayla’s guidance, they quickly began to return.
However, low-grade erosion bodies often appeared, but intermediate ones did not.
3 points left…Nimi…
It also doesn’t come out when people want it.
The closer you get to the Labyrinth Fortress, the fewer the corroding bodies. Even so, it was ambiguous to go back to catch the erosion body.
If you can’t find it, you can’t help it.
Points do not disappear over time…
While making a rather quick return march.
It was time to take a break and take out the wagon to have a leisurely meal.
“Someone touched the alarm magic.”
Said Luna.
Are they robbers again?
Annoying… They’re the kind of guys you never get tired of.
He grumbled and went out of the carriage.
And soon after, a suspicious group appeared.
They were wearing dark robes and hoods. Unusually, all 7 of them were wearing the same outfit.
Whoever it was, it was an award.
“Sorry. You touched the magic because you were in a hurry. I never thought you would be resting in a place like this.”
The man in the lead spoke politely.
He had the hood pulled down so that only his nose and mouth were visible, but as far as his voice was concerned, he was a young man.
Contrary to what I thought, it was a surprisingly normal person’s reaction.
I kept meeting only abnormal guys, so these guys looked strange.
“We will go right on the way we came, so you can rest assured.”
He was very full of manners.
I didn’t let my guard down just in case.
I didn’t feel hostility towards them at all.
Surprisingly, it seemed like a normal person.
Looking at the direction we were going, it was presumed to be in the direction of the wooden fence in the entry cave that we destroyed.
If they go, wouldn’t they be a little suspicious of us?
But I am a good adventurer.
I had no intention of committing murder just for that reason.
Because I was a normal person.
In the first place, I didn’t do anything wrong, so there’s nothing to be stabbed at.
It was then.
〈 Demon King follower found.〉
〈Urgent Quest: Deal with the followers of the Demon King!!〉
〈Reward: 1 skill point per person.〉
What else is this
The emergency quest was the first thing after awakening.
That’s two exclamation marks!!
It was the first time I felt that the system message was urgent.
Maybe those guys?
It was clear to anyone looking at who the quest was talking about.
“For a moment?”
We stopped the suspicious guys who were trying to pass us by. They were startled when I called them.
“Do you have anything to say?”
He was a polite guy to the end.
「Unho: What is a follower of the Demon King?」
In the meantime, I quickly asked our elf party members.
「Luna: A follower of the demon king is a black magician.」
「Unho: Is there any way to tell them apart?」
「Ayla: It will be hard to find until you reveal your power.」
「Luna: I know that you hate insulting the demon lord. But suddenly, why is the follower of the Demon King asking?”
「Unho: Those guys look like black magicians… ?”
「Luna: Are they huh, black magicians?!」
Luna and Ayla’s eyes shone sharply as they read my party message.
“I know. Who are you guys don’t know what you want But I had no choice but to call you guys. I don’t think I’m sorry. If I’m mistaken, I’ll apologize later.”
“What the hell…What are you talking about?”
The man asked, bewildered at the nonsense I was talking about.
I don’t even know what I’m talking about.
I tried to catch them, but I talked at length and gibberish.
There was only one thing I wanted to say.
“Try to be the demon lord.”
“…What do you mean.”
He replied as if it was absurd, but…
I could see his mouth twisting in my eyes.
