"Squeak!? Squeak!"

　The moment it moves to the 16th basement stairs or to a small room with a magic camp, Yero on Seto's back screams softly.
　The reason for this may be that the 16th basement floor is filled with the rotten smell of meat.
　Ordinary people would only have to frown slightly, but it was a powerful blow to the members with a keen sense of smell.
　Still, Ray, Elena, and Seth, who had experienced the same undead hierarchy in the Dungeon where the altar of succession was located, managed to endure it, but for the first time, the smell of this odour was half-confused, forcing his nose against Seth's back and trying to escape the odour.

"...Yero, I understand your dislike of this rotten smell. However, as long as we capture the dungeon, we cannot avoid it. I don't want to say this to you, who are still little, but you will get used to it."

　Listening to what Elena is saying to Yero, Ray is wary of the surroundings.

(It's right to get used to it, or rather, to stop feeling the smell because your nose is paralyzed.

　with that thought in one's mind
　Fortunately, the 16th basement floor where Ray and his colleagues are now located is an ordinary dungeon with walls glowing side by side with familiar stone floors.
　It's easy to notice that some people are approaching us, because we don't have a vast expanse of land like the desert hierarchy.
　... yes, like now.

"Grull".

　With Yero on his back, Seto chants when he hears the sound.

"Oh, I know," Elena, it's a quick customer. Get ready to welcome me."

　Returning his words to Seto, Ray takes his death size out of Mistilling and holds it up.
　Fortunately, the passageway leads straight from the small room, so Ray encourages Elena while paying attention only to the front.
　After hearing the words, Elena also draws a connecting sword so that she can respond at any time.
　Cutlets, cutlets, cutlets.
　The sound of something so hard pounding on the pavement gradually approached, until the light of the glowing wall revealed what it really was.

"As expected, it's as expected." ...set, please."
"Gruly!"

　Three skeletons appeared. What you have in your hand are rusty swords and spears.
　As a skeleton, he must have tried to attack all at once. As soon as I saw them, I tried to lay down my weapons...

"Gurling!"

　With such a voice, a blazing flame is exhaled from Seto's beetle.
　The Firebreath, which reached level three, was overwhelmingly aggressive against Skeleton.
　Three skeletons try to move forward, but the flames that come out of Sett's mouth won't allow it. No, I'm pushed backwards as if I were going to succumb to the pressure of fire.
　as he was burned by the flames.
　Eventually, the three skeletons don't make any sort of attack, but just appear and are burned to the bone core by Seto's Firebreath and crumble onto the cobblestones.
　It happened about 30 seconds after Skeleton's approach, literally killing him instantly.

"The firebreath of Seto is quite powerful in this way,"
"Squeak!"

　When Elena muttered in admiration, the yellow that had moved over her left shoulder, as if she agreed, to keep out of the way of Seto's attack.
　It's a bitter laugh to hear such a compliment from one of them, but to be floating around Ray's mouth.

"It's certainly powerful, and it's convenient to clean up small fish. However, there is also a drawback that we cannot recover materials and magical stones because we burn everything up. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Now that you mention it, couldn't you get the Skeleton's magic stone at the altar of succession?"
"Oh, for the demons were burning up as they are now."

　Flickering, Ray murmurs, turning his eyes to the embers of the bones on the cobble.
　The ambient temperature has risen slightly due to the effects of Seto's firebreath, but it doesn't seem to be tolerating, whether it's Ray or Elena.

"Glu?"

　When Seto asks if it's not working, Ray shakes his head and caresses his head, saying that there's no problematic.

"I'll go further than that," Fortunately, this is not such a complicated road, so if you go straight without stopping by, you'll get to the basement stairs in less time. "Well, that's why the enemy is so dense."

　The desert hierarchy did not encounter monsters very often, not to mention its environment, but also its size.
　Except for the 15th basement, which was an oasis on one side.
　However, the 16th basement is paved with stones, walls, and ceilings, which are incomparable in size to the desert hierarchy.
　As a result, monsters were denser.

"Well, I'd like to capture this class early and move on." I don't think the undead hierarchy was as successive as the desert hierarchy?"

　When Ray asks, Elena nods uncomfortably at the odour that hangs around her.

"Yes, there are some undeads in the next tier, but at least the next tier of the 16th basement where we are now is a forest. ...it's not as hard to live in as the desert, it's a pretty good environment where you don't have to worry about the smell or the smell like in this hierarchy. ...but because of its environmental excellence, there are many different monsters."
"But it's still better than here,"

　Keep walking away from where you knocked the skeleton down for about 10 minutes. It was a single road extending from the small room, but finally a forked road appeared.
　There is no shadow of a person around and no shadow of a monster. The walls were just glowing faintly, and at the same time the odour of the zombie undead was seeping around them.
　I don't think he's used to the smell if he's been in this environment for a while, but he doesn't make the first heartbreaking cry.

"And which way?"

　Elena takes out a map and spreads it out to Ray, who asks, looking at the left and right roads.
　Fortunately, the walls, ceilings and floors were dimly illuminated, so it was not difficult to see the map in particular, and I knew the way to go.

"On the left is where there are a few small rooms, but in the end it's a dead end." It is to the right that leads to the back."
"Then to the right... Oh, wait."

　There, Ray, who suddenly feels a sense of sight, immediately recalls what happened in the desert hierarchy.
　I remembered a similar interaction in the labyrinth in the rocky desert where Cyclops and Vihela were fighting.
　He also learned his skills by using magic stones toward the dead end.
　I'm not going to go anywhere near the dead end here. The only absorbable magic stone I have now is one that I managed to extract from Desert Lizzardman's corpse found in my stomach when I stripped the material from the sandworm.
　Or maybe we could have waited until then as long as we do a request to strip the material tomorrow, but Ray decides that we should do everything we can because we're still in the dungeon.

(Fortunately, this place is in front of a forked road, and it's somewhat wider.) The walls and heavens are bright, but you won't have to worry about seeing them from afar.)

"Set, Elena, and Yero," Move a little way to the wall. It's a good opportunity to absorb the magical stones."
"...here?"

　When Elena unexpectedly asks Ray what he says, he nods softly.

"Fortunately, there is only one magical stone in the Desert Lizardman. Then it takes only a few seconds, and anyone should be able to find it first if they come near the end of course.
"That's true, but... if Ray has decided so, is that all right?"

　Maybe it's because they understand it takes only a few seconds to absorb one of the magical stones. Elena nods briefly and agrees to Ray's words.
　In fact, to absorb the magical stones, you only need to swallow Seto and cut it off at Death Size.
　However, the most time-consuming part of the absorption of magical stones is to check the performance of the skillfully mastered.Understanding Elena's question, Ray shrugs his shoulders slightly and opens his mouth.

"It doesn't matter if you try your skills. Fortunately, this class is not popular in many ways."

　For a moment, Ray's mind was filled with a party in front of the dungeon looking for wizards who could use the magic of fire and purification, but soon it disappears.
　Sure enough, that party would be troublesome, but, to begin with, wizards are very rare. It's too easy to think that when you're looking for it, you'll come up with something like that.

(Well, if you knew that and were looking for a wizard, you might have to dive into the undead hierarchy for that party. If so, is there a possibility that you will be forced to come without a wizard? and yet, as Elena said, there are other classes of undead people.)

　They gather their thoughts inside and move to the wall to absorb the magical stones anyway.

"Squeak?"

　Yero and Elena follow Ray and Sett in the same way.

"Well, which of them will absorb... the Desert Lizard's Mystery will be available again after tomorrow, and there is no need to think hard about it." set."
"Glu?"

　Ray nods to Seto, who bends his head slightly.
　Seto was momentarily lost in such a situation, but he probably remembered that Ray's mysterious ring contained the body of his fallen Desert Lizardman. From Ray's hand, he bites and swallows the magic stone.

[Seto learned the skills of Wind Arrow Lv.2]

　And the announcement message that plays in my mind.

"Wind Arrow's level two?" Well, if you think you might not have remembered it, you should be happy that your existing skills have been strengthened."
"Guru... Guru? Guru-guru-guru-guru-guru-guru-guru-guru.

　Seto nodded as if he agreed to Ray's words, but eventually looked around and screamed alarm.
　the moment the call comes out Ray and Elena also have their own weapons in their hands, and Yero flies off Elena's shoulder, flapping his wings to keep them out of the way.
　Eventually, I heard a clattering of metal coming from the right side of the forked road.
　frown faintly at the sound
　It's not like a skeleton walking sound, it's not like a zombie walking sound, it's not like an involuntarily.

"I mean... my first enemy,"

　Ray's battle with undead is dominated by skeletons and zombies, not the kind of metal-sounding monsters you hear now.

"Is there a possibility that it's not undead when it comes to the metallic sounds.

　I turned around as if I had been surprised by what Elena muttered next to Ray. 　
　It was because I believed that all the undead people would appear in this hierarchy.
　In fact, according to information previously collected by Ray, we don't hear of any enemies other than the undead appearing on this 16th basement.
　But Ray and his colleagues know that there is an anomaly that overturns it, and above all, they remember that the Silwa adventurer, whom they met the day before on the 15th basement floor, said he had seen an anomaly in the neighborhood.
　As I stood still in the direction of the aisle, I saw the sound of metal approaching me... by the lights on the walls and ceilings.
　Full plate mail with Paul Ax in hand and about 2m tall. It was Ray's first impression when he saw it appearing.

"An adventurer?"

　a seemingly adventurous partner However, you soon notice the discomfort that comes from the person in front of you.
　I can't feel the atmosphere of living things at all.
　You'll notice the full plate mail in front of you almost in a chain.

"Is it a living armour?"

　a living armour It is a monster whose armor is haunted by a spirit of death. Its rank varies depending on the spirit of the dead or the armor in which it resides, but in general, it is often equivalent to Rank D Monster.
　The site of the proof of subjugation is a magical stone in the body of the armor. Unlike ordinary monsters, it is not embedded in the heart, but more precisely in the body... like a skeleton.
　At the same time, that's the weakness of living armour.
　The only thing you can get as a material is a magical stone, which is also a proof of subjugation, but the living armour and the weapon you are using have a high value as magic items with magical powers.
　However, some living armors are cursed, so it is common to have a knowledgeable smith or alchemist investigate before using them.
　You can also use magic items that are cursed to break the curse or dilute them to make other magic items.

　One such living armour appeared in front of the Rays.
