The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

The boundary between the Erdo wilderness and the Erdo mine is commonly known as the 'boundary of death'.

It is the border between the wilderness of desolate death and the mine where the humans mine demon stones, the boundary of which is immediately apparent.

"Oh, you see the fort for surveillance."

Pardee sees a small fortress in front of her.

You can say it was built just to keep an eye on Acleto Crowe.

And it's the fort that raised Killer Ant's sightings.

Pardee raises her glasses.

"I've already got your permission, so let's get this straight."

"Are you sure?

It was Rail who asked the question.

"It's okay. In the first place, the soldiers around here don't make a very good impression on us (working in the Royal Palace). It's like each other's manners, in a way."

I don't know, Rayle shrugs.

And nothing in particular happened, and they stepped into the Eld Wilderness.

"Well, you're safe in there."

"What are you talking about? This is the real deal. Yes, this. Everyone else."

With that said, Pardee hands the member of "The Silver Wu" a demon stone the size of a fist.

"What's this?

"A demonic stone with the power to keep demons away, called the" Evil Stone ”. Enter the magic pattern of a particular demon and it will continue to produce wavelengths that the demon doesn't like. It has the wavelength of Acleto Crowe's magic."

It's about a day with the effect, she adds.

"Heh, that's convenient. I didn't know there was such a thing."

Rayle was honestly surprised.

The same goes for the other members.

With such a handy demon stone, adventurers would come and buy it.

Besides, if you have something like this, if you use this for the defense of boundaries, would Acleto Crowe's damage be reduced more?

In anticipation of that, Pardee looks bitter.

"It's still a prototype, this. Based on the research materials of a wise man named Elibel, who existed about two hundred years ago, it was created by a researcher from the City of Sorcery. The range of effects is narrow, disposable, costly, and difficult to mass produce. So Lord Ecclesius donated some prototypes."

Pardee adds that the empirical data were also investigated.

"Uh, Cheng Cheng."

Rail turns the Demon Stone into a tool bag.

"Oh, I know a guy named Elibel, too."

It was the Wizard who raised his voice, the 'Silver Wu' red dot of Lele.

She's a brown-haired girl who looks good with the word cute.

The word magician fits perfectly with a light green robe, long hair tied at the waist, and a twisted cane.

"They call me a rare freak who created the foundations of modern magic."

"Yeah, but at the same time, they say he's an inconspicuous genius. At the time, the record said he was missing at some point."

"Yes, yes. Uh, I wanted to be born two hundred more years early, too. That would have taught him a lot of things. Really, I envy Pardee."

"You know... I'm telling you, you're mostly clerical, and you don't have time to ask Master Ecclesius that? Besides, it's not a straight line."

"Uh, but - tell me a lot - hey"

Lele says as if she were a waste of time.

"Heh, whether it's milk or how to get big, you want me to tell you?

To joke, Ranger Bassack said.

And the next moment, he became ash.

No mercy.

About an hour passed after entering the Eldo wilderness.

"Hmm, Killer Ant, I can't see you"

"Sure. There were about two earthworm raids, but that's all."

"You've come all the way inside, haven't you? Are you sure there's a killer ant out there? I've seen it many times, haven't I?

The face of the silver whale says spoken.

That's what Pardee thought herself.

By the way, Pardee was the first to see the White Fei Ryu.

I was pretty freaked out inside, but desperate not to put that on the table.

But since he was a terrible demon on the street of rumors, he ended up just passing over them.

"... right. In the meantime, explore just a little bit more and go back once you can't find it. Is that okay?

Everyone shakes their heads vertically.

It's settled.

Okay, now take that side -, I just thought, my voice went up.

"... hey, I found it"

I said Bordroy, the party shield.

He points to the western rock.

See also Pardee and other members.

- There he is.

There were two killer ants there.

I'm carrying something.

"What are they carrying?

"Prey, right? So, that? Was there a prey in this wilderness where killer ants could be hunted?

"... no, that's not prey, is it? Some kind of skin."

Those are Ranger bassacks.

He has better eyes than anyone in this.

Its eyesight properly distinguished the identity of the things Killer Ants were carrying.

"You know, go a long way... those guys. It's bigger than a regular killer ant more than once.... and that skin, I've never seen it. Oh, could it be the peeled skin of the White Feilong?

"No, it's not."

It was Pardee who immediately denied it.

"The White Fei Dragon is a dragon that doesn't peel. As it grows, old skins are absorbed as nutrients into new skins."

"Heh, really?"

Bassack says he didn't know.

"Bye, what the hell is that skin? There can't be more lines called Acleto Crowe, can there? I think it's more crooked and gloomy to make an earthworm."

…………

Pardee says nothing.

But she half-expected who it was.

That was conceived because she herself uses a weapon based on that material.

Unconsciously, I do my hand on the hips sword.

"The Sword of the Dragon"

One of the few existing, ultra-first-class products made from the scale of the ground dragon.

Those killer ants are carrying a terrible resemblance to that material...... too much.

Besides, that material is too new.

The freshness is too good.

But Pardee shakes his head.

Stupid.

The dragon was extinct more than a hundred years ago.

You can't be in this modern age.

The materials used in this sword are precious items that have been stored in the Alliance for over a hundred years.

But Killer Ants carry it, as if to deny it.

"... let's go after him"

Everyone nodded silently.

And Pardee and the others slowly followed to avoid Killer Ants noticing.

And then some time later, they stood in front of the hole.

There were about three meld holes.

"... is this the nest?

"Well, I'm sure of it"

Rail affirms.

"What are you gonna do? Going in?"

"If it's Killer Ant's nesting position, isn't there a problem?

Lele and Bazak say.

Rayle looks at Pardee.

"What are we going to do, Pardee, this time at your request. We'll follow your instructions."

Pardee had half a hunch.

Perhaps beyond that, there is a Nanica wary of Master Ecclesius.

At the same time, I get scared that I may not be good at it.

After a slow, deep breath, Pardee opened her mouth.

"... let's go in"

"You said it was settled."

"Watsuya."

"Hmm, let's go."

It was all decided in favour.

Everyone goes into the nest.

But before entering, Pardee was grabbed on the shoulder by Rail.

"Hmm? What's going on, Rayle?

"Uh, that, what. Um, yeah."

Pardee frowns. It's an unusual, laid-back trick.

"... no, not after I get back. Pardee, when you get back to town, why don't you go get a drink?

"Huh? Good, but what's going on suddenly?

"... Actually, there's something I want to tell you... no, it's nothing, it's been a long time since I've only been drinking with you, I just thought"

"... kusu. What, you're crazy."

Right, and Rayle laughs, too.

The other members who watched it still were more or less conjectured.

"Heck."

"Dull."

"That's why I'm a virgin."

"Ugh! You guys can read some air!

Everyone laughed.

I just finished laughing a lot, says Rayle.

"Well, then, let's go again!

"Whoa!"

"Yes."

"Hoi."

"Oh!"

The Pardees were inside Killer Ant's nest.

Sure, one step at a time.

- And they slowly step into the nightmare.

To the nightmare of a dungeon that you will never remember again.
