Ray told me that he could get out of the dungeon sooner than he normally gets out of the dungeon if he expands his boundaries from information about Seto to information disadvantageous to Ray.When Elena heard the words, she spoke.

"Well, now is the time for a moment.Even a few hours is a shame.It wouldn't be a bad idea to nod to Ray's suggestion, but at least I'd like him to explain exactly what kind of effect the 'evil' has."
"If Mr. Elena says so,"

　After hearing their words, Ray also opens his mouth.

"The seeds of commandment means that if you break the pledge you made when you put the magic on, you literally burn it alive with the flowers of fire.Of course, magic will not be invoked unless the pledge made when magic was used is broken.At the same time, it is characterized by a kind of supplementary effect that those who are embedded with warning seeds become more resistant to heat and fire, and if they can use these magic tricks themselves, they become less magical and more powerful."

　After closing her eyes for a few seconds to explain "Kai-no-seed" from Ray's mouth, Elena nods as if nothing had happened.

"Well, I had already decided to accept the magic of 'the seeds of commandment' in my name when I broke through the fourth basement.It is important to get out of this dungeon as soon as possible and to inform my father of the betrayal of Ver and the Baron Sails, even though we may not speak any more now."
"I have no problem, either.and I have no intention of breaking Mr. Elena's promise to Mr. Ray."

　Ray confirms that they nod and looks relieved.

"Then I'd like to use 'the seeds of warning,' don't you mind?"
"Oh, do it,"
"Elena, I'll go first.
"I don't care. I trust Ray, and I don't think he'll do anything strange here."
"... All right,"

　Elena nods, and Arra nods as well.
　Confirming this, Ray begins to chant spells while concentrating his magical powers.

'Flame, thyself is a seed.When the host breaks his contract with us, use his life to bloom the beautiful flamboyant flowers.'

　As Ray chants the spell, the flame appears on the death-size handle, which is also the magic engine, and eventually it is compressed to the size of a flower seed in a few seconds.
　He touched the death-size handle on Elena's head...

"The seeds of commandment"

　At the same time as the magic takes effect, the seeds of the flame sink into Elena's head.

"This is..."

　Elena muttered in spite of the unfamiliar feeling of the seeds of the flame being buried in her head, but the discomfort disappeared in a few seconds, and it seemed as if it had been a dream to have something called a "seed of commandment" buried in her head.

"Is the magic embedded...?"
"Oh, it was completed without any problems.It's Arra next."

　Perhaps it was because she had seen Elena calmly accept "the seeds of commandment," and Arra just nods silently and approaches Ray without looking particularly nervous.

"Go ahead, I'm ready,"

　nodding to the words, and burying "the seeds of commandment" in his head, as in Elena's case.

"...well, now I and Arla can't tell anyone what's going on against Ray.Wouldn't it be time to tell them how to get out of this dungeon quickly?"
"Yes, you kept your word.I'll keep my word, too."

　He nodded a little to Elena, and took out a pair of oves from the mistling.All eyes are on a fist-sized crystal ball that suddenly appears in Ray's hand.

"What is that?"
"It's a magic item called a pair of obes.You are free to communicate with the oven, which is paired with the oven, as the name suggests."

　Ray, explaining to Elena, casts magic into the oven in his hand, and...

'Oh, who are you, Ray? I got in touch with you quite early...'

　After a few seconds, a skeleton in Ray's hand was projected on the crystal.
　This is Grimm of Rich Road, an old magician who once admired Zepail.

"This voice..."

　Even if he didn't see his face, he might have heard the voice echoing in his head.muttered Elena involuntarily.

"Yes, I was in the space behind me where I wandered on the fifth basement."

　answered Elena, and turned to the Crystal.

"I had no intention of contacting you so soon, but for some reason.I want to help Grimm who can use spatial magic."
"Well, now...All right, from the reaction of the pair of oves, are you now in the fifth basement?"
"Oh,"
"Well, wait a minute,"

　If you just say that, the video will stop.

"Ray, you're still... no, I don't have time to hear the details.But I'll have you explain it in detail later."
'Hahaha. Don't bully Ray too much.'

　It was not a voice that I heard through the oven just a few seconds ago, but a voice that sounded directly into my head.It was easy for Arra to understand where she heard Ray and Elena's conversation, even though she didn't know who they were talking about.

"Oh, this!"

　Grimm appeared right next to us without any sign.The crown on top of the bare skull.A cane held in the right hand.And above all, their overwhelming presence.At first sight, Arra instinctively realized that she couldn't win, but when she gripped Power Axe, she said, "It's just one blow to protect Elena."

"Your presence, Grimm, is a little too exciting for us.Hold it back a little."
'Oh, I'm sorry.If I am living a life devoted to research alone, I can't help but be naive about it."

　Three people and one of them have a wry voice in their heads, and the pressure from the Grimm disappears suddenly.

"Well, it'll be troublesome to see us out of the dungeon with spatial magic.I want you to take me to a place where there aren't many people around the first basement of the dungeon.Is it possible?"
'Well... well, there's no problem.Fortunately, there seems to be very few people around the first basement of the dungeon now.'
"... Mr. Grimm, did you say?"Did you find out how many people there were on the ground floor in just one moment?"
"Well, it's so difficult... Huh? I see, you're the one who's been given the succession ceremony."

　The Grimm answered, looking at Elena for a few seconds.

"Yes, there have been many things in the ceremony, and I want to get back to the ground as soon as possible.Mr. Grimm used that kind of magic as we headed to the altar of succession.I hope you will lend me your assistance again."There was a moment for Elena, who bowed her head deeply...

'Cook! Hahaha! It's fun.Do you bow without hesitation to be killed as a monster?It's like last time, this time, Ray's friends are having fun.-- all right, I can't refuse at the request of anyone related to Ray.'

　Grimm shook his cane in his right hand as a hearty laugh echoed through his head.
　Then the space a little further away from the lays begins to distort.

"That's all right. It should automatically move to the first floor of the dungeon when it enters the space."

(I can't believe that I could use such magic without even reciting... as I thought...)

　Elena bowed again at the sight of the distortion, thinking in her heart.

"Thank you very much.I'm sure I'll owe you one day."
"Well, if we have another chance, we may see each other.So, let's say that 儂 is going back to the laboratory soon.Ah, that space will disappear in a few minutes, so if you want to go, you'd better hurry up.'
"...thank you,"
"Glu".

　When Ray bows his head in an unfamiliar way, Seto, who was next to him, bows his head small as well.When Grimm saw it, he disappeared again with laughter in their heads.

"Was that real?"

　It's been a few seconds since the grimm disappeared.muttered Arla, waving her arms in the grip of Power Ax.
　She was quite exhausted mentally, confronted directly by a different person than herself, and was first exposed to what could be described as the stench of death and the magic of darkness.

"It must be real, or the distortion of the space there will be no explanation for it...or, if Mr. Grimm's story is correct, the distortion of the space could not be maintained for that long.We'll hurry before we know it."
"Wait a minute! Is it really all right to trust Rich?"

　As Elena tries to take a step toward the distortion of space, she asks.
　No, it's not Elena who's asking, but Ray.It's only natural that Ray contacted Grimm.

"At least I believe in Grimm.In fact, I have received an expensive magic item called a pair of obes.And you knew Grimm's ability instinctively, didn't you? You shouldn't be so immature that you couldn't tell the difference in ability."
"That's..."
"To be honest with you, I'll probably not beat Grimm if Seto and I play together.You've got that much difference in ability, and if you want to do something to us, you can do anything about it without being so fussy."
「……」

　Arra doesn't say anything more to Ray's words, and she goes silent.
　However, his eyes clearly showed that he was not yet convinced.
　That's how she looks at Ray, and Elena puts her hand on her half-glaring shoulder.

"Dear Elena...""Arla, seeing Ver's betrayal, and seeing that Custe had passed away, I can see that you cannot believe others so easily.But with the power of Lord Grimm, as Ray said, he could have done without bothering to deceive us.and I didn't see Mr. Grimm deceiving me.Right, Ray?"
"... oh,"

　He nodded to Elena's question, but questioned her slightly.

(Why did I meet him for the first time... and believe him so far, even though he had not yet been betrayed by his own man, Ver?"

　Ray muttered inwardly, but perhaps at last he had settled down with Elena's persuasion, Arra nodded softly and turned her eyes to Elena.

"I understand that Mr. Elena believes in Rich, but I will be the first to enter the distortion of the space, just in case."
"Okay. If that makes you feel better, I won't say anything more. I'll leave it to you."
"Yes,"

　He nodded to Elena's words, held his power axe firmly in his hands, and turned his eyes to the distortion of space.
　Then, in a few seconds or so, he says, "Are you ready?"

"Here we go!"

　Shouting, he kicked the floor into the distortion of the space... and disappeared from the fifth basement.

"Well, there seems to be no problem.Ray, let us go, too.
"Oh,"

　He nodded to Elena's words, and the two and one of them, left here, began to walk towards the distortion of space.





"This is... the first basement, indeed.

　muttered Elena, looking round, through the distortion of space.

"It seems so....what about Arla?"

　Ray answers Elena and looks around, but realizes that there is no Arra who should have gone into the distortion of space first.
　And when he muttered,

"Oh, I'm sorry.I ran a little too fast."

　Elena and I smile in spite of seeing Arla popping up from the end of the aisle.

"Well, let's get out of the dungeon right away.I think it was about ten minutes from the time I got down to the dungeon."
"Well, if you turn down the aisle and go straight, you'll find the stairs above ground."

　Even though she entered the dungeon only a few days ago, Ray remembers passing by, feeling as if it had been months.Elena nodded softly, perhaps the same, and began to walk towards Ray's suggestion.





　The place has changed and is located a few kilometers away from the dungeon.
　About 10 people were currently building a camp at the site where monsters would have swarmed.
　It's been a few days since the camp was built here, if not just overnight, and that's probably because it's close to the dungeon and there are fewer monsters than in other parts of the world, and most importantly because 10 of them are quite skilled.
　and if anyone had seen him, perhaps he would have rushed into the Adventurer's Guild at once.for most of the ten people on the spot looked very much like human beings, with their faces made of rock like golem, their feet like plant roots, and their eyes in several parts of their faces.
　Meanwhile, the leader of the party suddenly looks up.He is wearing a robe and holding a cane, and only the upper body looks like a human wizard, but the lower body looks like a spider.It looked like a monster called Arakne, but it was clear that his upper body was not Arakne's.

"... here you are,"

　muttered the deformed wizard, and the other deformed beings around him turned their eyes to the wizards in the centre of the camp.
　If the upper classes of the kingdom of Milliana had seen their existence, they would have recognized them at once.These are the so-called "magic beasts" who were born in the ceremony of the succession of the Vestia.Like its name, there are many different people who look like monsters rather than people.
　a few seconds after the deformed wizard muttered.The magic camp in the center of the camp shone intensely for a moment... the next moment there was a human being in the center of the camp.

"The assassination of Shogun Hime failed.Was it wrong to expect a traitor after all?-- you incompetent man."

　At the end of his gaze was Ver, who had lost his head from his left shoulder, his face burned to ashes, and his feet passed out with sharp needles.The Wizard muttered a disdainful glance at Ver.

"I'll retreat. If I could assassinate General Hime, I would have attacked the villages around the dungeon, but if I failed, I don't need to stay longer."
"What do you do with this fool?"

　There is a gills beside his face, and he turns his eyes to the man who is fainted by the magic team when asked by the man who only looks like a fishman with his face covered with scales.
　If we leave them alone, they will probably die within hours, but since they are, on the other hand, obedient to the Empire of Bestia, we judge that they will be of some use to us if we take them with us.

"I'll take you.If we don't have enough information, it will be useful for human experiments."
"I understand,"

　The magicians, under the direction of their leader, the Wizard, quickly but violently began to prepare for their return to the Vestian Empire.
