Chapter 417 – #4-5 Hero in the Trap (3)
I stomp, and step on the floor.
In the damp and humid basement, the floor was covered with mud and mud.
Because of this, walking is difficult in many ways.
Getting his boots dirty was frowned upon, but he couldn’t help but cry.
‘Fog… ?’
Spade was barely able to notice it while going down the dark passageway that looked like the jaws of a hellish beast, not knowing how many floors it would lead to.
Fog fills the corridor.
It adheres to the skin stickyly, as if to let you know that it is not an ordinary fog.
No, not fog… It must be a special gas… !
‘Why, this now… !’
What on earth was the self from a moment ago thinking about when he came down?
It’s nonsense that you didn’t notice until it got this dark.
“Club, go back——”
“I will not run away. Inexperienced heroes advance without fear of the fog.”
Chii-i-i-ing… !
“Ugh… ?!”
It was hot, and my head hurt.
And after a while, the spade turned its head toward the club and turned to the front again.
“Seniors? Just now…”
“… No, it’s nothing Is your vision okay?”
“Not yet. But this fog… It seems to be imbued with magical power, so it will be difficult to see through it like an ordinary fog.”
“Huh. So do i. And it sticks to the skin… I feel like my senses are getting dull all over…”
Spade said as if grumbling, but she moved on again with her steps that had stopped for a moment.
Break through this strange fog, and just move forward.
“So, don’t neglect your surroundings. … You’ve been trained to this extent so that there are no problems. Show your guts, Club.”
“Yes, senior!”
Spade encouraged the club with an arrogant spirit, and the club responded to Spade’s decision without any complaint.
Judging from the look on Club’s face, it seems that if Spade had brought her up to go back, she would have asked her to go on, even if she was stubborn.
—Both were strange.
The mood is bizarrely elevated, and the original style of ‘Safety First’ seems to be driven to the edge of a precarious precipice, as if it had been given away.

And, the change came just then.
Jureugh… !
“Uh… ?!”
“Eww… ?”
The floor the two of them were stepping on.
The mud on the floor suddenly began to roll up as if climbing up the legs of the two.
“For a moment… This, what… !?”
Mud that clings to the body while wriggling.
The two people whose entire bodies are entwined, as if sucking up mud from the floor.
In the blink of an eye, the mud soared up to cover the two of them from head to toe.
In this way, new mud adheres to the mud that covered them both, and covers it in layers.
Slapping, slapping on top of it, mud is added.
How many layers, how many layers.
With the momentum to completely imprison the two, the mud gathers and sticks… In the end, a coffin made of clay was created.
『… !!』
『… !』
A mumbling sound is heard, but there is no sign of escape.
Even if it is ordinary clay, if it is hardened to this thickness, it will be stronger than most iron plates.
Furthermore, this mud is not ordinary mud.
Because it is clay imbued with magical power, which once hardened becomes harder than steel.
So, there is no way for the person inside to get out.
No matter how powerful a hero may be, he cannot get out of this coffin of mud.
It can’t be anything but an ability that matches the name [Mud] Amazingly well…
“… Are you caught?”
Meow meow, the cats that followed the club scratched at the feet of the solid clay coffin.
Meanwhile, someone approached from across the hallway.
The villains of the villain organization [Mud].
The people waiting here under the direction of Olivia, the client, are slowly approaching, observing the reactions of the captured heroes.
“Gee, really? Are you done with this?”
“… It seems so.”
“…”
Unbelievable.
How can those fearsome heroes be captured so easily?
He said that the opponents were promising heroes of the 7th Division, so he prepared the place with a pounding heart and put in a lot of effort, such as turning the entire hallway into mud.
Aside from that, I also made a few other plans in preparation for this and that, in case the plan didn’t go as planned.
However, in the end, everything went according to the first plan, and the heroes were captured very easily.
There’s no way this could happen.
Originally, the clay they manipulate is slow, and if the first surprise attack fails, the second is impossible… It is such a means.
However, the heroes came to me in the middle of the muddy water, which was bizarrely careless and foolishly easy to capture.
They also didn’t care about the 『Mist of Delusion』, Which was the magic of mud and obscured their presence.
Moreover, perhaps it was because I was so surprised that I couldn’t resist at all in the early stage when I was able to escape.
The plan would not have been successful if the opponent thought even one thing was strange, if they were wary of even one thing and retreated back, or if they tried to find a different entry route.
However, it has been successful.
That fact was so bizarre.
It’s so easy.
It’s so easy.
It was frighteningly easy.
I had already heard about it, but I was dubious.
I never thought it would be this easy.
Haha… !”
One of the three villains, a woman nicknamed the Wild Moon by No. 13, laughed unbeknownst to me.
This request is awesome.
Because they captured the hero so easily, and what’s more, they were promised a huge reward for this.
You can’t help but smile when you think of the huge amount of income you’ll get from taking on this easy job.
“Haha, ahahahaha! Got it, got it guys!”
“Success! Money! You’re getting paid! At least this much money——”
Poop, do it
An arm sprouted from the clay coffin surrounding one of the heroes, with a terrifying sound.
A solid clay coffin made by stacking several layers of clay, which is stronger than an iron plate.
However, an arm protruded through the thick mud wall.
“100 million… !”
Back… Koo!!
The outstretched arm approached at close range and grabbed the collar of the wildcat who was spitting congratulatory words at once, and pulled it as it was.
The slender body of the outspoken body was slammed into the wall of the hard clay coffin.
“Leader?!”
Chai shouts, and Yin-chim catches her breath in surprise.
Whoops… !!
“Ugh, ugh… !! Let this… !”
Caught by the collar and clinging tightly to the wall of the mud coffin, the wildcat tried to get his hands out somehow, but to no avail.
In her squirming ears.
A voice came from beyond that coffin of clay, beyond the hole that had been drilled there.
—『Kill it.』
Called.
Oh wow… !
“Hey, hey!”
I felt goosebumps rising all over my active body at the sound of his deep life and intense sense of intimidation.
She is also a person steeped in darkness in her own way, but this level of intimidation and murderous intent was the first time she had experienced it.
And the next moment.
Wooooong!!!
“Ugh?!”
A coffin of mud, a wall of mud surrounded by several layers.
And, likewise, the villainous runner who was clinging to the wall while being grabbed by the collar.
She flew away as if bursting in one breath.
The runner, who had been blown away like garbage along with the mud heap, pierced through the fog and rolled awkwardly down the muddy corridor beyond.
Tuduk… Took…
“Seed… Whoa… What’s this. All muddy… Annoying.”
The person who exploded the mound of mud created by magic at once.
Spade appeared with his whole body covered in mud.
A strong-looking red aura was surging up from her whole body.
“Club, are you okay?”
Spade, as if casually digging through, reached her hand toward the mound of mud towering beside her.
Then, with a force that could not be believed to have come from her slender arms, she ripped out the wall of the mud coffin in which the club was trapped.
Kwaji Jijik!!
“Ugh… !! Coke, Coke… ! Seniors… ! Thank you… !”
From beyond the mud coffin, which has been torn in half, the club comes out with a frown on her face.
Like the spade, the whole body is covered in mud, and in many ways it feels disgusting and dirty.
“… ?! Hey, hey! Run away!”
“Leader… ! Hurry up, stand up… !”
Seeing the club come out following the spade, the villains run away in a panic.
The fog, thicker than before, instantly hides the villains.
However, they are not two people to be missed with both eyes open.
“Club! Let’s go after it!”
“Yes, senior!”
In the direction where the villains fled, two people run.
* ***
The thick mist obscured my vision, and the sticky mist clinging to my skin paralyzed my senses.
Not only that, I wondered if this fog also had a hallucinatory effect, and when I noticed it at some point, I was going in the opposite direction on the way she was going, and so on.
It was simply going through the basement level of the building, and there was even an illusion that it was like falling into a labyrinth in a myth.
Also, in between, a mud golem and a mud wall rose up from the muddy floor, blocking the path of the two and trying to attack them.
This basement floor is completely the other party’s game board.
All kinds of devices prepared by the Villains to take down the hero attacked with their malicious teeth to stop the two, or go further, to subdue them as they were.
However.
Even so.
“Kyaaaaa?! Run away~~~!!!”
“I will do it in moderation… All of my colleagues have been caught! Be sure to catch me! A little!”
One person passed out after being hit directly in the back of the head by a coin sniping from a club.
One person passed out after being hit in the stomach by a fist of a spade.
Now that the obstruction of the fog and free-moving mud had disappeared, as if the game of tag was over, the spade chased the last person left, driving it to the brink of catching it right away.
The spade, which has strengthened its body to the fullest, pursues it with terrifying momentum, like a fired bullet, even though the floor is all muddy.
Just before Spade’s hand grabbed the last remaining villain.
“Hey… !!”
Koo!!
Flutter!
With the last of his strength, the villain blew his body open, opened the heavy iron door with a bang, and rolled inside.
“It’s over now.”
The club left behind to inject anesthetic into the two previously knocked out and fill the restraints.
So Spade, who was chasing the remaining villain, stepped into the wide space that the villain jumped into.
Ha… Ha… Ha…
‘Here…’
I calmed down my slightly rough breathing and calmly looked around.
The hallway just before was a dark space with almost no lighting.
However, this place was slightly brighter than the corridor, and it was also very wide compared to the narrow and narrow corridor that was like a maze.
‘A place to meet the mafia… ?’
Could it be that she was trying to make a deal with the mafia here?
It was cumbersome in many ways to have to go down such a deep underground and pass through that complicated passage, but it also seemed certain in terms of security and stability.
Although it doesn’t seem reasonable.
It was a space that seemed suitable for doing dirty work.
Perhaps it was because the designated time hadn’t arrived yet, it seemed that there was no mafia known to be a trading partner in this space.
However, even so, Spade couldn’t even rush at once to arrest the last remaining villain.
“… You, who? A colleague of these guys?”
The underground space where the villains escaped.
Inside the space, a woman dressed in armor like a medieval knight was standing there as if she was waiting for a spade.
At least, not Asians… Occidental.
America or… Or maybe Europe?
It was a person who did not appear in the [Mud] Data that Spade had received, but since she was here, she would not be an unrelated general public.
Thinking so, Spade tensed up and straightened up.
“I am a hero from the 7th Division of the Hero Association.”
“You have to tell me why you are here and what your relationship is with these villains.”
“If you don’t answer straight away, Can attackPlease know.”
“… Oh, I have to say this in English so you can understand it? What to do?”
