"I'm surprised,"

　Elena's voice echoed into a small room at the scene unfolding before her.
　A dog made of bones suddenly attacked from a treasure chest in the room.Regardless of Ray, who prevented the blow from the surprise attack, the next moment, with his own judgment, and with his strong forefeet pounding, the series of actions which literally smashed the bone dog, was a remarkable reaction to Elena.

"Grull".

　You must have found out that he was praised.She swings the lion's tail happily while singing in a good mood, and sings in the back of her throat.
　Elena quickly checks the situation in the room while smiling at it for a moment.
　Fortunately, there were no traps in the room other than the treasure chest or monsters hiding.

"In other words, it's a perfect room for adventurers."
"...but I don't think an ordinary adventurer would fall into such a blatant trap."

　muttered Ver, turning his eyes to the treasure chest in which the dog lay.

"Well, that's true,"
"But, you know, we're actually stuck,"

　Ver can't help but smile bitterly at what Arla says.
　Custe called out to them with a bitter smile on his lips.

"But we didn't open the treasure chest.It's probably the kind of trap that makes a surprise attack when someone comes near you even if you don't open.-- no, Arra would have opened the treasure chest and been caught in a surprise attack."

　While listening to the conversation behind his back, Ray was checking on the state of the bone dog that was literally crushed by Sett.

"Magical stones are... impossible.As for the bones, they're broken, so it's impossible for them to be used as materials."
"Guru..."

　Because it was crushed by the force of Seto, not only the bones that constituted the body but also the magical stones that were protected by the bones were crushed as well.
　Ray shakes his head slightly at Seto, who approaches him with an apologetic cry.

"Don't worry, if Sett didn't jump out, he might get hurt."

　He stood up scratching his head and shook his head to Elena, who was looking at him.

"No, I don't think there's anything else in this room, and I think we should move on."
"Well, sir, I shall resume my search.Ver, Arla, and Custe."

　At Elena's call, the three of them, smiling, nodded instead of looking serious.
　Just as Ray and Sett enter the room, Elena and Ver are in the middle, and Arla and Custe leave the small room and go down the aisle.

"...what?"

　It was about twenty minutes after Ray left the small room that he noticed it.

"Glu?"

　Seto is also leaning his head slightly, perhaps because he felt something was wrong.
　Elena, who was suspicious of one of them, looked round again, but could not feel anything particularly unusual."What happened, Ray?"
"Ah... no, this passage seems to be the place I've been through before."
"What? But there's no such thing as a fork in the road, right? Isn't it just your imagination?"
"Well, that may be the case... it might be better to mark it just in case, Set."
"Grunt!"

　He must have understood what he was looking for.Seto scratches the wall of the dungeon with his claws.

"This will serve as a landmark, just in case,"The rest goes on like this..."
"If there is a set wound on the wall, is there no doubt that it is caught in some kind of trap.
"Yes,"

　After nodding to Elena, the party again begins to walk along the passageway of the dungeon.While only the sound of footsteps and equipment echoes around him, Ray calls out behind him.

"... Ver, what do you think of him as a thief?"

　Ver, silent as if to think of something for a few seconds before he opens his mouth.

"I remember seeing a trap that loops through space in a book I read before coming to this dungeon.But if that's true, the core of this dungeon could be quite powerful... or perhaps there could be an undead with spatial magic."

　Spatial magic is a high-level magic that is difficult to obtain.The first thing that comes to my mind when I'm called the undead who can use that space magic...

"Rich?"
"We should consider the possibility.I honestly wish you would forgive me."

　Rich. It's a wizard resurrected as undead.The wizard himself is reborn as rich by performing a ceremony, and in rare cases, he is revived as rich when the wizard dies leaving behind a grudge, hatred, or strong regret.
　The degree of danger varies widely depending on the wizard's ability in life, and in some cases, a wizard of rank G was revived as rich.
　For this reason, the monster rank is not clearly determined for rich people, and some rich people are as rich as Rank A, while others are as rich as Rank G, as in the previous example.Basically, people usually have human consciousness, but some rich people don't even have that consciousness and go wild with their instincts.

"It's a magical monster, and the undead and the most troublesome.Let's hope there's no possibility to do so."

　Everyone nods to Ray's words -- including Custe -- and begins to move on, paying attention to the wall on the right, which Seto has scratched.After about 20 minutes of walking through the dungeon, you'll eventually get to where the wall is scratched.

"That's all right?"

　Ray's words come out with a sigh.However, the words are mixed with strange colors rather than conclusive ones.
　There is no doubt that the wall in front of you was damaged by Seto about 20 minutes ago.But...

"Ray, is this really the wound you got?"

　It was Ver, who was behind Ray, who asked.There is something incredible about the tone.

"Yes, there is no doubt that this scar was caused by Sett's blow.I don't have one, but..."

　Ray glances at the wall.
　and indeed there was a scar of Cet's claws on the wall.However, the reason why Ver could not say for sure is that the depth of the wound on the wall is different.Although Seto's nail marks reached a depth of about 5 cm, the scar in front of Ver is only about 1 cm deep."Probably, the walls themselves have some sort of magic on them, and they will heal themselves.It's the most disgusting combination of infinite loops."
"Oh, that's the worst,"

　The quickest way to make sure you're stuck in an infinite loop is to put a mark somewhere.And as long as they are adventurers, most have weapons, and they will mark them with wounds.However, if the wound were to be repaired gradually like this wall, it would be very difficult to leave a mark.It is possible to leave some kind of tool as a mark other than the wound, but that is not certain, considering the possibility of it being taken by monsters wandering around in the dungeon.

"It's certainly troublesome, but let's say it's all right because Seto has made me aware of it early."

　said Elena, calling out to them.
　It is true that it was only at once that Seto had the extraordinary power of a glyphon compared to a human being, and that he had the magic item of the braces of strength to amplify the power.If you had walked around the same place many times, you would have exhausted your energy as well as your physical strength.It's fair to say that you're lucky that it didn't happen.

"But, Elena, how do you get out of this infinite loop?"
"I can't think of anything now.I'm sorry, but let me think a little.As long as there is an infinite loop here, it is better for everyone to preserve their physical strength rather than wastefully move around.And tell me if you can think of anything."
"But I don't think we'll come up with anything that Mr. Elena can't think of."
"Ara, I am not omnipotent.You may think of something that I cannot think of, and don't despise yourself so much."
"... I see.I'll think about it."

　Then, with Arra closing her eyes and thinking about something, each of the others starts looking for a way out of this situation.
　Elena looked down the aisle arm in arm, and Ver gradually examined the wall, which had been repaired by Seto's scar.Custe looks around him, putting his hand on his chin, and Ray is absorbed in his thoughts, caressing Seto's back.and determined that he should not disturb them, he lay on the floor and watched the undead attack.

(Spatial loop: somewhere we jumped into the trap ourselves.Then should I know which part of it is? ... No, I can't.The quickest way to do this is to knock down a monster who set this trap... isn't it just the monster that set this trap in the first place.and even if they were monsters, they might not be in this space.)

　Ray looks at the wall and looks for a way out, but the scratches on the wall that Seto made have been repaired, and we can only see traces of them.

(It can't be helped, is it to bring out Zepail's knowledge for the first time in a long time?. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Whilst muttering so inwardly, he draws information on spatial magic...no, spatial magic from Zepile's knowledge.

(How to get out of looped space...refuse to knock down the person you set up.I use magic with more magic than the looped space can tolerate...I can do this, but I'm too exhausted, so hold it.Destroy the space itself with space magic... I can't use space magic itself, so I'll reject it.The surest and simplest thing is, after all, to destroy the starting point of the looped space, which I understand is the easiest, but how to find the starting point...Well, I see. Is it worth trying, since I am not so tired of this?)

　After exploring Zepyle's knowledge, Ray turns his eyes to Elena, who thinks he can do something about it.

"Mr. Elena, I have come up with the possibility that it might work,"
"Well, it's interesting.Please let me know."
"""Even though this space is looped, as long as we have been incorporated into it, there must always be a place that is connected to the original space.""And if we destroy the starting point, the looped space will be broken and we will be able to return to the original space."""
"But now, how do you find the starting point? Are you going to break down this aisle little by little?" No, that's a bother.How hard is it to break down walls that can be repaired by nature?"

　Ray shakes his head slightly at Ver's words.

"The method itself is not so difficult.My magic is to set fire all over the passageway, and I'll find out where the origin is."

　Elena frowns slightly at the solution, which can only be described as forceful.

"Can you do it? I think it takes a lot of magic to set fire to the whole aisle.""Perhaps there is no problem.and with this bracelet which I am equipped with, I can rob the enemy of its magical powers."

　While saying this, he held out his left wrist, not his right one to which the mistling was fitted, so that everyone could see it.
　and there was a bracelet fitted that seemed to be some sort of magic item.

"This magic item is called the sorcerer's bracelet, and it is an excellent item that can absorb magic force proportional to the amount of damage caused by the attack on the enemy by the wearer."
"...oh, no more. It's just a mouth-watering magic item for a magician.Did you get it from your master?"
"That's the case.Well, as Elena knows, my magical powers are in their original quantities, so I rarely have to rely on them.And basically, wizards don't have the technology to directly attack the enemy and cause damage....and will it be all right to do as I have suggested?"
"As long as you can't think of any other way, it's best to try Ray's method.Do it for me.

　He nodded to Elena's words, and after confirming that everyone gathered in one place to avoid being caught up in the spread of the flames, he chanted a spell with magic.

'Flame, spread the flame, showing the red flame.Turn it into a carpet of flame at will.'

　While chanting a spell, a fist-sized flame appears at the tip of a death-size handle... and hits the ground with the handle!

"A thin flame!"

　As soon as the magic is activated, the flame at the tip of the handle that Ray hits the ground explodes into the surroundings, covering every part of the ground, ceiling and wall with flames emanating from the death size.and the flame rapidly widened its range, and a few seconds later it covered everything in front of him.

"...isn't it hot?"

　While listening to Arra's dumbfounded voice, Ray uses magic to expand the range of flames.It is a low-temperature flame of about 20 degrees Celsius, which is unusual, but its magic is rapidly consumed from the inside of the ray due to its vast range.And just a few minutes.The flame enveloped the entire looped space, which was the opposite of the direction Ray was looking at.

"...I found it!"

　As soon as Ray, who was concentrating on the maintenance of the fire, shakes his death-size and runs away.
　Seto immediately follows, and Elena follows him, even though she hesitates for a moment.
　When Elena and the others caught up, Ray was already pushing his death-size up to one side of the wall.

"Huh!"

　And a death-size blade that is shaken down.The blade cut a part of the wall, and the next moment the sound of broken glass was heard, and the door leading to the chamber where the battle against the dog of bones was fought appeared before him.
