Chapter 756 – One Pit Hire (2)
─Puff!
When the thick door was torn apart by the aura, the trap that reacted to the mana immediately spewed out the monster.
There was no monstrous roar. For monsters from the other world, he might have been on the intelligent side.
‘It looks like a toad.’
But the lower body was like a snake.
A chimera of a toad and a snake. The pouring monsters stretched their tongues out of their gills and aimed at Nord, who was at the forefront. He massed his auras, fired them, and charged.
“Just run forward! Because if it moves, it fits!”
Tyrsi fired the magic she had chanted. The jewel part of the new wand shone like a snake’s eyes.
“
─Bad! The rushing toad snakes froze.
High-level ice magic that turns the target into ice. It was a magic that was difficult to match and the risk of harming colleagues was high, so it was a magic that was not often used, but it was okay to overdo it now.
It is the effect of the wand that makes magic projectiles faster and grants induction ability. Since it was smelted with the eyes of Tonashillucatl, there is no need to ask for more performance.
“It is quite useful.”
Nord broke 3 or 4 frozen statues as he passed by, and slaughtered the toads. The taste is lighter than expected. It was because the defense was low.
“Younger than I thought… “
Nord, who had been muttering, closed his mouth and twisted his body.
Whoop-!! The toad’s hand emitted black magic. As soon as I dodged, I put a back fire on his head, but when other toads activated their magic at the same time, I ran out of hands.
Magic rained down on the retreating Nord. ─Toukwagak! The sword of light rained down and pierced the mass of curses that appeared to be magic from another world.
“He has the intelligence of a human.”
Dana fires Valkyrie’s sword, created with the mana of light, according to her gestures. The curse that escaped from time to time was burned by Veronica without even chanting a spell.
When the magic arrows fired by Ralilura were mixed with it, it was utterly confused.
The firefight between wizards was splendid, but it was hard work for the warriors who rolled there. Nord said to Nefertiti who was holding a silver whip.
“It’s a little crazy here. Let’s go inside by ourselves.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll go too.”
The magic circle is inside. Nord, who took Fran and jumped in while slicing the crowds of toads, saw the fat toad camped next to the magic circle and clicked his tongue.
As soon as he found it, he threw an aura spear.
The rune of leaping into space and the spear including [Gerture] Flew in, but the moment it approached the toad, it was scattered. Mana itself was released like a thread.
【Wer u’daha Kutau… 】
Toad wizards casting spells.
Unlike the clumsy people who crawled around, they stood up properly. Even more so, she wears accessories that feel cultural.
“Nor, is it translated?”
“At all.”
“Feeling bad Mana. Full of hostility.”
Nord and Fran were cautious, while Nefertiti was slightly bolder.
─Boom!! The whip made of Monsieur Hrellittle’s sinews stretched and shattered the defenses.
It was a shield specialized in magic defense. But before the whip could extend further, a toad wizard sang. A shield of a different texture blocked the whip.
“Shield, multiple layers. Be careful.”
“It’s four layers.”
Fran added, throwing a knife to find a gap in the shield.
The toad mage, who spreads one shield each, totals four. It was possible to maintain it almost indefinitely by activating magic like a revolving song.
【Kuas… H’amnr Vhil!】
And the more the fat toad chanted in the center, the stronger the light of the summoning magic circle became.
Even if it is not, there are many magic circles in the ruins. How much will it increase if you go at that speed?
I could understand the desire to enjoy an outing, but I couldn’t help it.
“Nefertiti defends. Fran, take out the golem and use it as a wall. You can destroy some ruins.”
By slaughtering the toad, Nord shared the role.
“When I signal, both of them destroy the nearby magic circle.”
“Okay. 〈Doll of White Clay〉!”
“… Half words, surprisingly not bad.”
Fran summoned the golem, and the whip whipped in all directions like mad.
─Whoops! As soon as the toad brushed, it tore like a wet tissue. It is a forbidden killing space. It was one of Nefertiti’s skills.
【ᚱ(Raidō).】
Nord, assisted by the rune stone, flew the dissolution ceremony far away.
When the magic circle collapsed as the magic circle collapsed, the toad wizards chanted, but stopped when Nefertiti kicked the corpse and shook the shield.
“Dissolution is over! Role shift!”
-Kagak! Fran’s knife flew freely and got stuck in the magic circle. Nefertiti’s whip stretched to 10 meters and then shrank, breaking the distant magic circle.
Doo doo doo… !
Toads crawled inside the ruins, but there was no problem as long as they were far away.
Wind mana wrapped around Brunak.
“The storm wave.”
The oil and yellow blood of the toads were swept away by the mana of the wind around the spear and scattered inside the corridor. The muddy liquid drenched the path the toads were running towards.
〈Summon Cloud〉
〈Lightning Missile〉.
Combines two magics and applies them to the walls of the ruins.
─Fajik. Dark steam, like a cumulonimbus cloud, filled the inside of the damp corridor.
Nord invoked rune magic in that space.
“ᚺ(Hagalaz).”
A rune that can be activated by pronunciation.
I didn’t realize the true meaning because I had just learned it, but the letter symbolizing disaster exploded a cloud containing lightning and turned the only passageway into a slaughterhouse.
Miscellaneous people do not have the ability to penetrate 10-meter corridors.
─Ruleurreung!! The smell of burnt pervasive.
“I heard that frogs and snakes taste like chicken, is that true?”
“Well. After hearing it, it seems like it was.”
“… Fran, have you tried it?”
“Edible snake. Narmer – a specialty of the Nile.”
“A snake? You said you couldn’t eat caterpillars.”
─Poof!
Avoiding the magic that flew through the hallway, Nord pulled out his aura spear. Needless to say, Nefertiti swung his whip and broke his first shield.
─Zeuong!! Chaeng!!
Even the wall of physical resistance was shattered by the endlessly continuous throwing. The toad wizard in charge of the 4th shield was absorbed in self-defense without much agitation.
Their brotherly race of god-worshipers possessed considerable intelligence.
The third and fourth had to maintain their shields while the first and second cast new spells. If I unfolded four shields in order, the defense was perfect.
If the number of enemies increases, ride the magic circle and go back to find a gap.
I had to slay those humans and go up to the North Sea to find out why their god disappeared. The battle of the gods would have ended in some way, but their gods did not give any oracles.
It was the moment she thought so.
─Puck!! A stick rose from the third’s head.
“Sorry, Brunak! I’ll clean it up later!”
Thrown with the Rune of Space Leap, Brunak quietly hummed.
The toad wizard who was making the third magic defense shield passed over. Unlike the window of aura, a window with substance. It was also hit by a spear that jumped over the physical defense shield.
─Too bang!
The fourth shield was also in the blink of an eye. The very thick obsidian oxtaedos rotated like Chinese kitchen knives, separating the toad wizards’ necks from their bodies.
“Last one!”
Fran, who caught Sotaedo, returned like a boomerang, and threw it again with all his might, saving the greatly increased mana. The fat toad mourned its dead children and spread its defenses.
The power of that sword was confirmed the moment the children died.
Seeing that he could block it enough, he turned his upper body to return to the original world through the magic circle without delay. The snake’s tail rose to kick the floor.
─Damn it!
However, the tail that was about to hit the floor was cut off by the sword that broke the shield.
The fat toad immediately fired magic at the rear and turned his back, but Nord, who covered the aura tightly, pierced the magic through his body and punched him in the stomach.
Bang-!! The blows pierced the body, causing entrails to pour out on the back.
“After…”
Nord, who pulled out Brunak and cut the toad’s neck neatly, turned his clairvoyant across the magic circle. There was an alien world of civilization that could hardly be called uncivilized.
Its style was quite similar to the cities seen in the underworld.
“What’s up?”
Nord, who tilted his head, dismantled the magic circle and turned his back.
Wow-! Mana gushed out of the fat toad and was sucked into Nord’s body. At this point, I’m almost certain. Nord wiped away his blood from Brunak with the wind.
Fran asked while robbing the artifact Sotaedo.
“Nor, why?”
“These guys, I thought they looked like Ortla Whipper.”
It was good news. Nord used the clairvoyance and runes to dismantle the inner magic circle before summoning Valkyrie. He gave them mana and said.
“Clean up the inside. All the magic circles have been destroyed, and the rest are rubbish mobs. Try not to break it.”
“Aren’t you going?”
Nefertiti asked, and he shrugged.
“We’ll look around here.”
***
After being beaten by the Valquiriers, I rummaged through the bones of the people who were rolling nearby.
The three of us rummaged through the rags until the wives came back, but what I wanted was in the hands of the Valkyries who returned from the end of the ruins.
【Hittite sea chart? Was this inside?]
Dana, who was holding her nose at her stench, received a metal disc of mithril and blinked her eyes.
[The body of a human male was found. Collected.]
【… Did you get inside and die? It’s not that strange, but.]
Listening to Rune’s conversation, Tirshi twisted his hair.
“Isn’t it strange? They wouldn’t have sent people who didn’t know when to retreat or who were weak enough to be unable to escape from a dungeon of this size to Azteca.”
“Aha♡ Unexpectedly, maybe we’re too strong?”
“Otherwise, I think we would have been annihilated from the inside like these people.”
Frank chose his words carefully.
“It’s not a structure where you get trapped when you enter, but you kept going inside and lost your life there? I don’t think there must have been a reason why you should ever go.”
“But, then why was it annihilated? Was there a more dangerous trap inside?”
Veronica asked, but according to Valquirie, there was nothing special inside.
The ruins themselves were not very deep. As my sister-in-law says, the words are ruins, and at the time they were built, they are just buildings. There is no reason to make dozens of floors like a game.
“Ugh. Could there have been monsters? Why, the super-strong monster always comes out last! Something like a huge giant toad is hissing or… ”
Having said that, Lalilura shook her head.
“Then the Valkyries couldn’t come back, right? Would you like to go inside yourself?”
“I saw the inside with a clairvoyant. It’s just a dead end wall and a broken magic circle. But there must have been monsters. By the time the Hittites came.”
Having received the stone tablet from Dana, I shook my head.
“When I asked where the gods of rain came from, they seemed to have come through this door.”
“… Did you come here by car?”
“No more, no less, just the soul. And he must have borrowed the bodies of those toads here.”
Even if the others didn’t know, it was clear that Ortlawifer came that way.
Because these toads are a race with the mana of the Old God.
Just like the frost giants of the underworld that they fought often.
Dana sighed, crossing her arms.
“There’s no way the Hittites built this place, they must have been unlucky enough to be there.”
“Uh. But even if it was bad luck, it might not have been a coincidence.”
“Isn’t it a coincidence? What else does that mean?”
“It means you came to Azteca to come here.”
Asherad’s son flew to another dimension while exploring the Hittite ruins.
Isn’t there a magic circle that connects to the other world?
Maybe the Hittites were looking for the technology of dimension shifting from the beginning?
If that’s true, it was a pleasure for me.
If the Hittites were researching dimension-shifting magic, he might be able to find a way to Earth if he rummaged through its legacy.
I put the chart into the
“I’ve got everything I need. Let’s go home.”
All drop items, including the heart of Tonashillucatl, were moved to Atlantis. There is nothing left behind in Azteca, and it should be possible to return while analyzing the nautical chart.
It’s time to return to Britannia.
It wasn’t long before I moved into the manor house to miss home.
