"Did you escape from that space?"

　muttered Elena, turning her eyes to the chamber before her.
　While Ray nods to Elena's words, he turns to the door in the same way.

"I think this little room itself is probably the trigger for enticing adventurers into a spatial loop."
"Then the dog with the bone hidden in the treasure chest is a dummy to prevent it from being detected."

　Elena looked bitterly at the door, but when she exhaled loudly, she turned her gaze down the aisle.

"It is no use being stuck in a trap once caught.Now we're going down this aisle anyway.There are traps like this, Ver, so be very vigilant."
"Ryokai, Ryokai,"It's a matter of pride to be caught in a similar trap many times, so please look forward to it."

　Ver returned to Elena in a light tone, but his eyes were filled with the indignity of being caught in a trap.
　Custé bites his lips, wondering if it was humiliating to be caught in the same trap.

"You don't have to be so frustrated, you know, because Custe hasn't had that kind of training, let alone Ver.They're both ahead of us, and we'll be left behind."

　Elena and Arra follow Ray, patting Custe on the shoulder with a magical spear.
　When they realized the situation, they hurriedly followed.

"...to be honest, it hurts me to be caught in such a simple trap."
"Well, you've got a little pride left,"
"Hey, Custe, isn't that too much? It's amazing why you're so frustrated."
"As an aristocrat, I was caught in a monster-inspired trap, so I deserve to feel humiliated."

　When he hears Custe's words, he takes a water bottle out of his waist pouch and moistens his throat.

"Here you go, drink it, too.It's no use being angry here.We should be careful next time."
"...hmm,"

　While laughing with his nose, he took the water bottle firmly, moistened his throat, and returned it to Ver.
　As they communicate like that, they catch up with the Elena and others who were advancing forward, and they start to rearrange themselves into the front guard, the center guard, and the rear guard.

"If you think of the above trap, you may as well think that there are other traps.Let's be careful.and Ver concentrate more on the discovery of traps than on the vigilance of the people around him.The people around you will be safe as long as you don't have much time left."
"Gruly!"

　She moves forward with Seto, who sings like she wants to leave it to him, and Ray, who is next to him, at the front.
　And it's been about 10 minutes since I started to go...

"Grull".

　Seto begins to growl low, staring down the aisle.

"A quick enemy. We didn't think we could break through that infinite loop, so we hurriedly intercepted him."
"Well, there's a good chance of it, but you must be on your guard."Elena, who responds to Ver with a connected sword, is ready to fight at any time, with other people armed as well.

"Arla, Custe.You two keep a sharp lookout behind you.If the undeads in this hierarchy are driven by someone else's orders, they may come in for a front-and-rear pincer attack."
"All right.Leave the rest to me!"
"I won't expose you to such an ungodly act as I mentioned earlier."

　As Ray hears a voice answering like that from behind, he soon hears footsteps coming from the end of the aisle.
　Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.
　The sound of something watery hitting the floor.I could hear quite a few of them.
　And at the same time...

"Glu".

　Seto makes some kind of unpleasant sound.At the same time, Ray's nose, which is sharper than any other person, has a strong odor of rotting.

"Ugh!"

　Elena and Verle look at Ray, who is holding his nose with their left hand, without thinking of holding his death size, and then a few seconds later, Ver, who is not as sharp as Ray, moaned and held his nose, and Elena frowned silently and held his nose.
　Eventually, a clattering sound of footsteps approaches and reveals the true nature of the wet footsteps and odors.
　Some individuals have become semi-rotten and have exposed ribs, while others have their eyeballs protruding from their orbit with liquid.
　There are countless shadows that come toward the lays, splashing meat and liquids that give off a bad smell with a clatter every step they take.Of course Ray knew what a monster it was.

"Zombie?"

　muttered Ray abhorrently.Due to his keen physical ability and five senses, he has already lost his sense of smell due to the direct impact of the odor.It's the same with Seto, who has five senses that are even sharper than Ray, and looks at the nearly 20 zombies approaching them with a groan in their throat.
　Meanwhile, Ver notices a fact while watching the zombies and says reluctantly.

"Well, there are some of the zombies in armour... by any chance,"
"... I suppose.It's probably the result of the adventurers who lost their lives in this hierarchy."
"I don't want to be like that, after all."

　Elena affirms Ver's prediction and turns to the zombies who approach her with genuine reluctance.
　Since adventurers have challenged dungeons, it's natural to avoid dying there, but diving into dungeons is always accompanied by the danger of death.But if he should die, he would have liked to be excused from having his corpse turned into a rich toy....no, it's not just Ver, it's everybody's opinion.
　The effective means of attack against zombies are sacred magic and fire magic, just like ordinary undeads.Or, if you don't hesitate to touch the rotting body, you can aim at the magical stones buried in the rot.
　And, fortunately for Elena and others, there were wizards and monsters at the party who could handle the flames.
　Even Elena, who was famous as a princess general, thanked Ray and Sett from the bottom of her heart for their presence, as it was a terrible event to go out of her way to deal with zombies.
　It's the same for Custe, who is rapidly getting on bad terms with Ray, and frowns that if it had happened to him, it would have been a very unpleasant battle.

"... Come on, Custe,"

　Arra pats Custe's armour next to her, imagining such a terrible future.
　Custe comes back to himself with a knock and looks at Arla.

"What's the matter?""Well, I think it's going as you'd expect, Mr. Elena. What do you think?"
"...what?"
"Listen, listen,"

　Following Arra's words, he concentrates his attention on hearing.Then you can still hear zombies walking.But I heard the sound very well...

"Phew!"

　Custe turns behind him, holding a magical spear while clapping his tongue.
　Yes. The footsteps you hear are from zombies, but there are also footsteps that you can hear at a time difference from the footsteps that are approaching you.Not from the front, but from the back.

"My dear Elena, from behind, as you might expect.Judging from the sound of footsteps, it's probably a zombie!"
"I don't know who they are, but they seem to be welcoming us with all their might.Arla, Custe, hold out till Ray and Sett are free!"

　When they hear the order from Elena, they hold their weapons against each other as they see the zombies approaching with a dirty clatter of footsteps.

"If I attack a zombie with an axe, I'm afraid I'll be in a lot of misery."
"And so do I,"
"But Custe's weapon is not a spear.If you think about it in terms of time, it's definitely more advantageous."
"But I'm very reluctant to stain this evil spear which has been handed down to us with the rotten flesh of the zombies and the like."
"Then we have to make time for Ray or Set to do something about it."
"...hmm,"

　He probably doesn't want to rely on Ray.He snorted and answered with displeasure, but looked at the zombies who approached him without any complaints, and chanted a spell with magic, touching his right ear ear pierced earrings.

"The Spirit of the Great Water, reveal the five fierce tusks."

　The world is modified through the piercing, which is also a magical engine, and conical spines made of five water are formed.It is about 10 centimeters in diameter, but in fact it is the strongest offensive magic that can be used for custes.I'm good at water magic, but I'm not that good at attack magic because I've basically focused on recovery magic.

"Water Fang!"

　The spines of water released with magic stick to the faces, bodies, and limbs of zombies walking silently.
　However, since zombies do not have pain in the first place, they stop for a few seconds due to the impact of water spines landing on them and immediately start moving forward.

"It's no good!"

　Arra, who had no expectations, or just had a ray of hope in case, thrusts in without thinking.
　Meanwhile, something suddenly passes over Custe and Arra and lands right in front of them.

"Gruly!"

　It was a set of glyphons, of course.
　A zombie-like presence was already charred and lying on the ground when Arra turned to the avant-garde.Still, several zombies are still moving, but Ray's fireballs wipe out false lives.

"Arla, Custe.The avant-garde came true thanks to Seto.Leave the zombies who attack you from behind to Seto, and you'll defend yourself!"
"Yes!"

　Arra replies to Elena and warns against the zombies approaching her with Power Ax.She breathes heavily at the zombie who approaches her, raising his hand silently, perhaps trying to hit her.

"Gurling!"

　Then the firebreath is released from the kuchibashi, and the zombies approaching are enveloped in flames.

"Oh, come on!"

　You can use a fire brace, but as long as it's only Lv.2, it's impossible to burn the zombie in an instant, and the zombie approaches Arla, Custe, and Seto all over the body.The distance between Arla and Sett, who is standing in front of Custe, is about to reach zero...

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Release the firebreath from the kuchibashi again with a shriek that reverberates into the dungeon.
　Even though it's Lv.2, zombies cannot resist being enveloped in flames twice, carbonizing the carrion, and falling down on the spot without waving down their raised hands.
　The scene continued two or three times, and Arra suddenly realized that the zombie that had attacked her from behind had all been burned down to the ground.

"Slurrurling.

　In front of such a charred and carbonized zombie, Ray, who cleans up all the rest of the zombie that attacked him in the avant-garde manner, approaches him and pats his head.

"Well, you did a good job.Thanks to Seto, I was able to overwhelm the zombies."
"Grull".

　While praising him and giving him the dried meat he took out of the mistling, he turned to Elena.

"Elena, let's get away from here for now.I don't know who it is, but if we stay here, there is a danger that some kind of undead will be sent out as reinforcements."
"...yes, sir.Surely a series of battles should be avoided as long as only Ray and Seto have effective means of attack against the Undead.I'll go, and I hope I'll find the way to the sixth basement within the day."

　Everyone nods to Elena's words and goes straight through the dungeon.
　Incidentally, the charred zombies naturally destroyed the magical stones they had in their bodies, and they could not obtain any materials.
　In fact, Ray was hoping to learn some skills in skeletons and zombies, but he would have tried to learn skills in death size if he had gotten it.
