19. Escape (3)
Kuwaaao!
The crypt shakes finely with a
“Q” roar.
It is truly a roar that makes the hamstrings numb. Hearing that cry was enough to guess how huge the Underground Lord was.
The existence of the underground lord constantly whipped us, and thanks to that, I was running down the dungeon restlessly with Ellen on my back.
Whoops.
I see a glowing magic circle in the distance. Is this already the fifth trap?
Ellen carefully inspected the magic trap before speaking.
“Water noon run... what is it?”
“water? Hmm.”
The second trap we encountered was engraved with ‘Land Noon Fly’, and when we activated the magic gin, we were teleported to the nest of ‘Lesser Sandworms’.
In fact, I couldn’t even properly sense that it was teleportation, and I blinked once and found myself stuck in a hole. It was a new experience in a rush.
The third trap had ‘Standing on the Water’ engraved on it, and when touched, a strong gust of cold air blew up. The fourth was ‘Land Dawn Run’, in which a group of ‘Red Hounds’ were summoned and attacked.
Ellen, who had been thinking for a while while I was thinking over the past traps, spoke in a calm tone.
“Probably not an attack spell. Because there is no string ‘standing’.”
“and?”
“Um... I’m not sure, but once the monster appears-”
TZ TZ = TZ
A faint fricative sound. It was the sound of the underground lord’s torso scraping the crypt.
It was getting closer and closer to us. There is no time to delay.
“Get ready to order Ellen!”
When I heard Ellen whispering an incantation in my ears, I set off the trap by overlaying the blade of blood on Hrunting.
The magic circle shook with a strange sound like marbles being rolled on a silver tray, and then it spat out a huge boulder.
With a heavy sound, chunky limbs protruded from the rock that had fallen to the floor.
“...turtle?”
What appeared was not a lump of rock, but a tortoise’s shell. That, too, was not an ordinary shell, but the shell of a tortoise as large as a decent SUV with sharp protrusions.
While I was frozen for a moment, something black jumped out of the shell and charged at me like a dart.
nettle.
“Sigh!”
I reflexively flew sideways to avoid the black object. Then the object bounced like a rubber band and returned to its place.
Krrrrr!
The identity of the black object was none other than the head of a turtle. It had instantaneously stretched its neck and attacked like a snake.
The monster that appeared was a ‘Werewolf Turtle’ with a tough jaw, thick leathery limbs and a tail.
He lowered his neck and growled, but occasionally bumped his chin and made a menacing metallic sound.
wow you’re so big It is by far the largest size among the monsters I have encountered so far.
But being surprised is being surprised, and the important thing now is to break through him. I braced my nerves and fixed the hrunting with both hands.
At the same time, the werewolf turtles attacked again. The jaws that are bigger than my torso are wide open, and the sight of them rushing in makes my cheeks sigh.
“Oops!”
I jumped sideways to avoid his attack and at the same time I lowered the hrunting with all my might.
However, even Hrun Ting, who scattered red light, was not strong enough to decapitate him. If it had been an ordinary knife, not a Hrunting knife, it would not have even scratched the leather.
Kkeek!
But that alone must have been quite a pain for him. The wolf tortoise made a grotesque sound like the scream of an old man and shrunk its neck quickly.
“Huh?” Then I, who had been stabbing the knife in his throat, was taken along as well.
“Oops!”
Right before I collided with the wolf’s shell, I quickly turned and stepped on the hard bump.
Whew Whew!
The wolf turtle tried hard to hide its head inside the shell, but the hrunting stuck in the nape of its neck was caught in the shell.
“O ” —–9
“Calm down dude!”
Ellen shook her head and said in a trembling voice.
“Fly in the sky at night?”
“sky?”
Damn, ‘Sky’ is a string I’ve never seen before...!
But aside from the string, the symbol floating in the middle is unbelievably ominous.
The traps passed so far were often ambiguous in understanding the meaning of the symbols.
A dog-shaped sign that looks like a hand. A wind-shaped sign that looks like a flower. A sign that’s confusing whether it’s a snake or an earthworm
. A human body, a beast’s head, and a pair of horns protruding from its forehead, wings resembling those of a bat... It was a typical demonic form.
“What a rotten thing-”
I looked back, gritting my teeth.
Wow!
Just then, I heard a tremendous roar that made my skin tingle. Even a handful of fighting spirit seemed to be broken.
The devil in front, the underground lord behind.
No matter how weak demon-type monsters are, you have to be in the late 20s to be able to deal with them.
Ugh, if you get caught by the underground lord anyway, you will die unconditionally. Then...
“Go closer to Poi.”
“what?”
” hurry!”
At Ellen’s insistence, I approached the magic trap. Then the boy started muttering something to himself.
“This looks too proud to be a trap. If it was a real trap, he would have hidden it so that no one would notice. At this level, it wouldn’t have been difficult to mix invisibility...”
“Ellen, I don’t have time for this right now!”
“There are too many unnecessary spells to call it a trap. It’s like revealing a clue with a string, or having a symbol engraved in the middle...”
Kung Kung Kung!
I turned around at the roar of the ground. And at that moment, I almost stopped breathing.
The underground lord, who crawled like a giant snake, slowly spread his legs close to his body. The light emitted from the magic trap flickered and scattered on his sharp legs.
The Underground Monster was a monster that looked like a giant snake with the legs of a centipede attached to it.
All that came into view was a huge head, part of the body, three pairs of blade-like legs, and scales shining dark red.
But with that alone, he showed off a more terrifying appearance than any monster in the legend.
“Yes, the reason this spell is included is to change the way it is activated. then?”
“No more Ellen.”
As I was about to trigger the trap out of desperation, Ellen reached out first.
The mana flowing from his white hands clung to the magic circle. I prepared my heart, but the trap didn’t work.
“This?”
Ellen muttered something incomprehensible and waved her hands. Then, the string engraved on the bottom left of the magic circle flashed and changed. Ellen recited a string as if cheering.
“Sky noon fly!”
“what?”
“Look at that!”
Ellen pointed to the symbol in the center of the magic circle. The demonic form was shattered and took on a new shape.
Pats Tsutsut.
The newly emerged symbol was an intuitive shape bird that anyone could understand at a glance.
“...sun?”
“Poi jump!”
Suwaang!
When I heard Ellen’s cry and a vicious gong sound, I instinctively threw myself.
Just before the blade-like legs of the underground lord pierced us, my hand touched the magic circle where the sun symbol appeared.
bang!
With the roar of the earth crashing, Ellen and I were enveloped in a strange magical power.
