404 Episode 0404



About half an hour after taking advantage of a falling stalactite trap to knock down the window bat. Walking through the dungeon through several forked paths, Bune suddenly stops.

"What's the matter, Bune?"
"Yes,"

 Viehra's question as an avant-garde, muttering a word to the end of the aisle.
 If you look over there, almost everyone in the room understands why Bune stopped.

"A sword is no good, with a hammer... no good!"
"O, leave it to me," Get out of my way, Ramlos! My hammer is better for this stony bastard!"
"Oh, my God! Such a doll will hurt my Kalsana and destroy her!"
"Well, it's troublesome. I'll attack you, so avoid it yourself! I don't know if you hit me! You go around behind him! Oops!"

 It was because I heard such a voice, albeit'slightly.
 Everyone in the room has five senses that are sharper than normal. That's why I heard the voice.

"Huh?"

 Bune asks in one voice, "What do you do It wasn't Ray... it was Vihela who had known Bune the longest. Considering the experience of diving in the dungeon, it was no wonder.

"Well, rather than fighting for nothing... no, you said you were a stonemate." Then, there's no doubt about the stoneappet. Is it true that we should show Ray and Elena the Stone Puppet?"
"But is it okay? I don't think it's good to surprise other parties where they're fighting."
"Squeak!"

 Elena's words indicate her consent by a small sound of yellow perched on her left shoulder.
 But Vihela thinks for a few seconds and shakes her head slightly while listening to the angry and screaming voices coming from across the aisle.

"It's a tacit understanding that it's bad manners to interrupt a battle. However, if it is requested by them, it will be a different story, so if they don't need any reinforcements, let's not take part in the battle. Any objection?"
"... I am a little worried about the sparkle in your eyes."

 Vichela, who says she wants to help them, has a fighting instinct, or a fighting desire.k.a. desire to fight. The reason why we don't put the viewer at risk is probably because Vihela has good control over the needs that exist within her.
 Vihela ignored Elena's words. He pats the back of his hands against each other and looks at them.
 Knowing that no one in particular has anything to complain about, he immediately kicks the ground and runs towards the sound of a cry.
 ready to exude fighting spirit from an attractive limb, wearing only the instep and instep of the hand, except for its thin coat.
 They go straight through the cave and run with the slippery steps of Vihela. Then a shadow much larger than the Mad Puppet came into the Ray's view.
 The shadow is one head taller than the Vihela, which is about 175 cm tall. a stone doll probably over two meters
 Two warriors clipped arms from behind into what appeared to be a small stone-puppet to call a Golem, but a large one to call a Puppet.
 Just visible from Vihela, a sword-wielding warrior from behind a stone puppet, and a huge hammer from the front that is as large as a human head.

"Vihela, what do you think?"

 Elena, who had been watching for a few seconds, rushes up to Vihela and calls out.
 Next to it was Ray and Sett and, of course, Bune.

"Well, I guess that party went a little too far up to the sixth basement. Here you go."

 Her right arm, wrapped in the back of her hand, points to a woman in light clothing who appears to be a thief lying a little further away from the giant Stone Puppet. Next to him is a man with a bow shooting an arrow to keep him in check.
 But...

"It's no good,"

 a muttering ray at the result
 In fact, the arrow was not compatible because it was called a stone puppet, and although it hit a rough face like a madpuppet, it was being shot.
 Or if the arrow had an arrowhead of magic metal, or if the bow itself was a magic item, the story would have been different. If the archer had been more skillful, he might have been able to shoot through the body of a stone or whatever.
 But he didn't seem to have the technology to do such a thing, and he could only get a little attention.

"Here... Ray, can I ask you?"
"Is it me?"
"Yes. I think a man like Ray would be better off than a weak woman like me in this situation."
「……」

 They also look at her, Elena, and Bune, but they both nod softly, apparently without objection.
 Next to him, Seto and Yero were also whispering their approval. ...but in the case of Yero, it is more likely that he nodded because Seto nodded.

(I think it's definitely better for Vichela, who is famous for Egzil, to talk to her than me.

 While thinking so, I can't wait to see adventurers fighting huge stone puppets at a disadvantage in the first place.

"Hey, do you need any help?"
`Come on, don't bother me!'

 A man who instantly responds to Ray's words. The screeching sword was played with a shrill shrill sound without cutting through the body of the stone.

(... high-pitched? Hit a sword against a stone?)

 Ray had a momentary doubt about it, but the cry of a man with a hammer interrupts the idea.

"Ramros, don't speak with emotion! I'm sorry, help me if possible... oh my gosh!"

 A man screaming at Rey and his colleagues escapes Stonepuppet's fist in a hair's breadth and breathes a sigh of relief.

"Well, if you're going to help me, I'll welcome you! Please!"
"Don't be silly! I'll... destroy this stone doll!"
"That's enough... you know!'

 Stonepuppet changed its sights from a man with a hammer once at a distance to a man with a sword. swing a hammer down from behindMan. Unlike a sword blow, the impact is not repelled, but rather the stones that make up Stone Puppet's body are chipped and scattered around.

`Oh, my God!'
"Yes, don't stick it in! Get rid of it!"

 While the two men with swords and hammers communicate like this, the archer, who was shooting an arrow on the robbers' side, approaches the Reyes.
 Knowing that his aid had little effect, he probably prioritized talking to the Rays anyway.

(Well, he's quite calm compared to that swordman.)

 Ray calls out to the man who approaches him with admiration."Do you mean you need help?"
"For God's sake... forgive me for Lamros." My girlfriend met that Stone Puppet and got hit on the head..."

 At the end of her gaze is a thief's woman who fainted on the ground. Understanding why the man, called Ramros, has blood on his head, Ray nods softly.

"Then I'll knock him down, but you don't mind? If he complains about it later, you'll take care of it, will you?"
"Oh, I can't believe Stonepuppet is so strong..."

(No, I don't think so.)

 Vihela muttered in her heart.
 Having worked in this hierarchy several times, I have naturally fought against Stone Puppets. But even with such a Vihela, the Stone Puppet in front of his eyes was very different from the Stone Puppet he had fought in the past.
 first of all the size Ordinary stone puppets are the same size as mad puppets, much larger than them. Even if it is a stone that makes up the body, it should be safe to be destroyed by hammering. At the very least, hammering like that will never result in a scratch.

(I wonder if this... was unexpected.) I thought it would be enough to see the battles of Ray and Elena on the side.)

 A battle-seeking flame burns up in the Vihela, which brings a belligerent light to the eyes.
 Glamorous beauty. Vichela's face, with a smile at her lips in search of struggle, could have been described as such.

"Ray, Elena, Bune, I'm sorry, but I'll have that game." You don't mind?"
"Wait a minute! He's not the one you can beat by yourself.

 The archer manages to speak out, despite the tremendous sensitivity that springs from Vihela's body.
 The unfortunate thing at this time was that the man didn't know about Vihela. The Vihela is called a mad animal, but its name is only known to those who know it after all. It is different from the notoriety that prevails in neighboring countries, such as crimson and general princesses. and therefore it was no use knowing of Vihela."

"Oh, are you going to get in the way of my struggle?"

 Vihela glances at her with her eyes glancing at her for battle.

"What!"

 Under the pressure of his gaze, the archer was ready for his own death in an instant. an intense gaze
 That alone makes him snort and look at Ray, from the man who sits on the ground sitting on the ground.
 However, the gaze is not for permission. It's a check‐and‐balance attitude to keep out of the way.

"... oh, I see. Come on, but don't hurt the two fighting there."
"Well, you know me very well, don't you?" As expected, Ray. I'll give you a lot of thanks later."

 Announcing this, Vihela kicks the ground and pauses for the Stone Puppet.

"Vihela!"

 against the back of Elena's angry voice

"d*mn it, what a hard stone it is!"

 Ramros slaps his tongue and never gives up, swinging his long sword down the back of the stone puppet.
 a task that would have been repeated over and over again The work has been repelled on the body of the stone, leaving it unscathed.
 The reason why I couldn't stop it was probably because I saw my girlfriend hit him with a stone-puppet fist and blew him unconscious.
 Of course, it's true that as long as it's a dungeon incident, it's all you have to do if you're told that an adventurer who's off guard is to blame, and Ramros, who is attacking Stonepuppet without learning, understands it. But he still attacked her because he couldn't stand his lover's injury.
 To see that all of my attacks have been undamaged, I clench my tongue in my heart.
 in that moment

"Get out of the way!"

 Something runs past Ramlos, leaving words behind.
 As a warrior, I couldn't comprehend the whole movement. That's why you look surprised, and the next moment you open your eyes to the smoothness of the movement, which you can even call fluid.
 Without knowing -- or even caring -- that she was staring at him, Vihela magically works her way through the back of her hands to form nails and mow them away.
 without slowing down to the wall of the cave...

"Oh, that's dangerous!"

 While listening to the man with the hammer, he thrusts in without slowing down, bounces back against the wall and heads straight for the Stone Puppet again.
 Stonepuppet, who heads straight to Vihela and sticks out his fist to intercept him.
 However, Vihela strikes a balance by dancing in the air the moment she sees it, bending her body wide and creating a space for the stone fist to pass by.
 He touched a stone fist through an empty space, suspended for a moment, and in the next moment, he took advantage of the power of the fist itself wielded by the stone puppet, with his larger body slammed to the ground.

"...what happened?"

 Ramros muttering in a momentary accident, completely incomprehensible. It was the same with the man with the hammer, who was dumbfounded and could only watch the sequence of movements.
 But that is not the end of Vihela's attack. When you kick the ground lightly, it floats into the air and forms a blade on the heel by applying magical force to the instep. Shake down the heel of the blade on the stone-puppet as it tries to get up. At the same time, they continue to wave their fists and feet using the back of their fingernails.
 Ramros and the Hammer men had been attacked unnoticed for several seconds, and by the time Vichela had satisfied her desire to fight and ended the attack, Stonepuppet had already lost nearly half her body and was unable to move.
 Vihela's face, looking down at it, has only a glamorous smile on it.
 Ramros was glued to the glamorous smile of the Vihela, only to be brought back to life by the voice of the archer.
