Chapter 182 – 8-Beast Flood (12)
Dark and damp. We were running hard in the damp basement.
The place we entered was an underground facility that the Lilith family had built and used for a long time. It is no exaggeration to say that this place contains the essence of the Lilith family, which produces and researches magic tools.
Dozens of underground passageways and underground facilities made up of layers were absolutely not inferior to modern construction abilities, and were renovated and built with all kinds of magic tools and magic, so in terms of convenience, they were better than modern ones.
Of course, there were limitations in technology, so even moisture and light could not be resolved with certainty, but the glowstone installed underground was at least playing the role of light.
And we were fighting a fierce battle as we descended one of those passageways.

Blue thunderbolts poured down towards the demons flocking from all directions.
The thunderbolt shocked the demons like a storm, and the demons couldn’t do anything and were pushed back, and we went down quickly while weaving between those demons.
And there were only 4 of us like that, and the other 3 are currently divided into two groups apart from us.
“Senia! The current situation!”
“For now, me, my brother, the princess, and Mist are following me well. But Mr. Ruri and Mr. Rubel… Lastly, Mr. Russell has moved away from us!”
“Ttsk! Is it because of that demon’s ability at that time?”
Currently, the Princess and the others, including me, and Rubel and the others, including Russell. The reason why they were divided into two groups was because the suddenly appearing demon moved Russell and his party somewhere.
It was a demon guarding the entrance, but he was short and had a bent waist.
Seeing us, they screamed loudly and rushed at us, so while cutting down other demons, they also cut their heads.
But even after being decapitated, he moves and uses strange abilities before we notice. Scattered us
Even I couldn’t react to the situation that I couldn’t even feel the sudden portent, and after Russell and the others disappeared, I found out that they had been moved somewhere by searching the entire underground with my detection ability.
We worried a little about this situation, but in the end, we decided to go straight, praying for Russell and his party to be safe.
Of course, I knew that they were safe because I sensed them in real time.
No. Rather, demons flocked to us, making them safer, and Ruri and Rubel even found the magic tool storage they wanted.
In other words, the most dangerous thing here is us.
“For now, keep going down! Follow me behind me!”
“Okay! You focus on the front. I’ll take care of the rest!”
Once again, I created a thunderbolt and charged through the demons, and at the same time, Asuna’s sword cut the bodies of the approaching demons to pieces.
Demons are generally similar to humans, but different. Had a strange appearance.
Some looked similar to beasts, but had horns on their heads, while others had bodies made of hard metal.
In addition, one hand and arm were abnormally large, and all of them had strange appearances.
They were running at us and I swung my sword too.
First, the hand and arm in front of me cut off the arm of an incredibly huge man, and the demon, who was slashing his teeth at me, pulled out the horn on his head and drove it into his head.
In addition, the one-eyed monster pulled out a single eye by inserting a hand into the one eye and pulled out a heart by inserting a hand into the chest.
However, the demons showed no sign of fear even after seeing this scene.
Rather, they constantly rushed to see us and catch us.
“Catch! Don’t miss those intruders!”
“Don’t send me any lower than this!”
“Move quickly!”
The demons are busy moving around and aiming their weapons at us. In response, Senia created a large amount of ice and threw it at random, and Mist summoned several more strange plants to gradually encroach on the underground.
Occasionally, a strong man who would treat Senia like something or a magic of tremendous power flew in, but I shot it down or cut it down with my thunderbolt.
Now, since I am serious to a certain extent, I have detected the entire passage with my own ability, while at the same time unsparingly pouring out my magical energy and killing the demons again and again.
Every time I picked up Darkness and Cloud Solas and swung them sharply, black lightning and golden light sprayed out and wiped out the demons, and I cut down the magic flying at me or shot it down with thunderbolts, so from the point of view of the demons, I would be no different from a monster.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Damn it! There was such a monster among humans!”
The endless screams of demons and the oozing blood constantly wet the floor.
The demons didn’t back down an inch in front of us, so we also went down killing those demons at random.
It was sensed that they were gradually moving away from the ground and going down to the deep underground, and at the same time, I felt that Russell and his party were also coming down, albeit through a different passage from us.
Haha! Anyway, it’s a relief that the aisles here are narrow. If the aisles were wide, it would have been really difficult!”
“Certainly! The aisle we’re going down isn’t wide like this! Just by dealing with them in the form of a straight line, we can easily break through the road!”
The passage we are currently in was narrow on a typical downhill road, so we were able to deal with the demons relatively easily, and thanks to that, we were able to go down underground quickly.
In addition, with my ability, I figured out all the facilities and locations of this underground, the number of demons, and the strong ones.
Currently, there are two Four Heavenly Kings in this basement, and none of them have moved yet.
The Four Heavenly Kings are the most powerful and elite among the demons. They are monsters with great abilities.
So while the Four Heavenly Kings aren’t showing interest yet, I have to go as low as possible and send the kids away, and I have to deal with the Four Heavenly Kings by myself.
Now that the demons have to work properly, the time has come for me to quietly hand over the stone I got before.
Of course, I don’t know which of the four heavenly kings will show interest in me and when.
As I was thinking so leisurely, Darkness and Claus Solas shouted, as if my movements had slowed down.
[Hey! Wake up and swing straight! If you make a mistake here, I will be dragged away by the demons and have to work!]
[It’s dangerous to lose sight of the filthy demons while killing them!]
I shouted with different intentions, but the sword attack had slowed down a bit because I had been thinking about it until just now, so I regained my senses and swung the sword vigorously once again to raise my magic power.
“What… For now, let’s focus on going down!”
Chaaaaa!!!
Asuna and I swung our swords even more violently as we watched the demons continue to appear even after we killed them.
And how long did it go underground? My detection ability detected our party and Russell’s party, which had reached the lowest floor, and at the same time, I felt a strong magic power approaching me at high speed.
At the same time, the demons who ran madly at us turned black and disappeared.
As if it never existed in the first place.
As a result, I noticed one thing.
That is, all the demons we killed while coming down here were fake.
“I see… The demons we killed were fake!
To sum it up in a word, we were caught, and the guy who caught us has just started moving.
The guy who catches us is sticky and radiates black magic that is extremely sinister and has the energy of a demon that we are not familiar with.
Feeling that energy, I hesitated for a moment and saw the rapidly approaching demons. That demon is a monster I have faced before. Parshi, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
I felt like I was going to get goosebumps all over my body when I felt that I was slowly approaching through the wall while being wrapped in darkness, but for now, everything went according to my plan.
I didn’t think there would be a Parsi, but I thought there would be four kings, so it’s just as I thought.
And now all that’s left is to send the rest below me, so I saw the kids who followed me well so far.
“Senia, Mist, Asuna. From now on, I’ll be in charge of this place, so you guys go downstairs. Then search the place and rescue the people!”
When I shouted that, Senia, Mist, and Asuna briefly exchanged glances with me, then turned around and cheered me on.
“Yeah! If it’s onii-san, then I believe in it… So, make sure to win!”
“No matter what, the master will win, so there is no problem.”
“You’ll take care of it, so I’ll leave it to you.”
As they said that, they collapsed the floor with the plants they had planted in advance to get down and jumped down.
And after seeing them once, I endowed Darkness and Claus Solas with a large amount of magic power for Parsi, who gradually approached.
“I’ll give you the stones you guys need here! But in return, I’ll thoroughly destroy this basement!”
I will destroy the Lillit family and the people of the Lillit family.
And the simplest and safest way to realize this is to collapse the underground and bury the manor.
