Chapter 675: The Demon-Sealed Cave
"The seal is over, but, will someone release it by accident? Well, only a fool would approach such a suspicious thing. To be on the safe side, prepare a countermeasure. Put it in the cave where the demon is sealed..."
Aqua said something surprising.
Xiao Lin said quickly: "What...?! Is there any countermeasure? When I read it before, there was no mention of such a thing anywhere!"
"Hehe, Xiaolin is really careless. For something like this, you have to take off the cover first, then open the fold... Look!"
“Fold, fold…?”
As he stared in astonishment, the stupid goddess Aqua opened the book and, like a magic trick, opened a fold in the center of the book - it was much smaller than a normal book and could not be seen at all if one did not look carefully.
"Who could have thought of such a thing! It's not a super powerful martial arts secret manual, is it necessary to protect it so secretly?!"
Xiaolin couldn't help but complain loudly.
That old man from the Red Demon Clan, should we say he is an idiot or does he have a dream of becoming a martial arts hero? He always does such useless work in such a weird place. If he thinks there is a problem, why not just destroy the Slime Walavi or just put the method of destruction out in the open?
"Really, Xiaolin, you are so stupid. If we put it out in the open, wouldn't Raph find it and destroy it before us?"
"...Ah, yes, I forgot."
Xiaolin slapped his head.
Aqua said cheerfully, "The strategy for the fight is written on the fold! Use the power of the goddess to cut it open!"
She raised the scissors proudly and cut towards the fold.
"I didn't expect that they would come up with such a little trick... Not bad, it feels very secretive, I think it's great!"
Huihui praised.
She loves this kind of thing the most.
Darkness was more concerned about something else. She murmured, "Are there any strategies to fight back in the demon-sealed cave?"
"Yes."
Aqua took something out from the cut leaf.
"Look, there seems to be something here... a map? There are even dangerous signs on it."
“I can only go and have a look…”
Xiaolin sighed.
At the moment, not to mention that it is marked with the word "dangerous", they have to go there even if they are sure to die. After all, the key to solving the Slime Walavi is there. If they don't go, no one else will go.
"Hoho, 'Demon Sealed Cave'?"
“What’s wrong, Megumin?”
The sudden pretentiousness of the Crimson Demon Clan's Loli Grand Mage made Kobayashi feel that she was about to reveal some bad information again.
"In the 'Demon Sealed Cave', the Great Magician and the High Priest are unable to exert their power because the magic power is sealed."
"...What?! That's troublesome!"
Kobayashi said this subconsciously, but quickly changed the subject and said, "No, if Huihui and Aqua were useful, that would be another matter, but the fact is that you two won't be of any use even if you go there."
"Wait a minute, did I hear you saying something bad about me?"
"No no."
"Let me make it clear first. I'm going to the 'Demon Sealed Cave'!"
Megumin seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and immediately stated her position, “If anything happens, Explosion Magic might be necessary, right?! Also, that labyrinth can be said to be a training facility for the Crimson Demons, so leave the leading to me!”
"I didn't mean to leave you alone..."
Forget it, it's the same whether she's there or not.
Darkness soothed him, “Forget it, forget it. As for the members who are traveling with you, come to the guild to gather them tomorrow.”
“Xiaolin, you must bring two or more people from the Crimson Demon Clan with you. After all, it’s very dangerous there.” Huihui said this, and Xiaolin already had a corresponding candidate in mind.
the next day.
"So I have to go there too?! It's the 'Demon Sealed Cave'! Xiaolin, do you know what the Demon Sealed Cave means? You can't use magic! You're the high priest, but you can't use magic?!"
Aqua yelled in dissatisfaction.
I really hope she can be like Huihui, who insisted on going along even though she knew she couldn’t help... No, after thinking about it carefully, it would be better for her not to go along.
It was as if he could see through Xiaolin's thoughts.
Huihui turned her head and said, “I’m also worried that I won’t be able to help... But at the critical moment, I will break the seal and release the explosion magic for you to see!”
"Even if you can release it, don't release it in the maze!"
Xiaolin yelled at her.
I really don't know where this guy gets the confidence to break through the demon seal.
Even the stupid goddess Aqua didn't dare to guarantee it, and even had the idea of escaping.
Darkness stepped forward and said, “It’s okay, don’t worry. I’ll protect you all! In the Demon Sealed Cave, the monsters probably won’t use magic. In that case, I’ll defend against them! Ha… ha… just come at me from wherever you want!”
These guys are really energetic.
I hope this journey can end smoothly. If something unexpected happens during the journey, he will be so angry that he will curse.
Come to the Adventurer's Guild.
At the counter, the eldest sister Luna seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She said to everyone, "Are you going to look for clues to repel Walavi? Many people are already troubled by the destruction of fields and buildings. I really hope to help them as soon as possible. Please do your best!"
"Oh, oh...there we go."
Being stared at by her with such earnest eyes, Xiao Lin felt really pressured.
"Mr. Kobayashi, you're so impressive for taking the initiative to help others. I've prepared a lot of bubbly for you today!"
"Ah, we will come back with good news, please stay tuned..."
how to say.
We are the culprit, I'm sorry.
Under her expectant gaze, Xiaolin and his companions fled from the guild and came to the Crimson Demon Tribe's training ground, the 'Demon Sealed Cave'.
What should I say...
"What a cave."
"Xiaolin, do you have any comments?"
"No."
The Crimson Demons are a bunch of brain-dead chuunibyou, and their names are all pretty weird, so when I heard the 'Demon Sealed Cave', I thought it was just an ordinary dungeon or training ground, but I didn't expect it to be a real cave.
Really, why do you have to match the name at a time like this?
Darkness shouted, “We can’t use magic in front of us. We can’t do things like usual. Everyone, cheer up!”
Hearing her shout, everyone in the team drew their weapons.
But after hearing the excited gasps of the perverted female knight, he felt that there was no sense of crisis in this trip.
“Darkness is the most relaxed.”
"Yes……"
"She is beyond help."
Several people held their foreheads and sighed.
At this time, Huihui explained to everyone: "In the 'Demon Sealed Cave', the Grand Mage will challenge the warriors to practice! Because the better Grand Mage's ability to deal with situations where they can't rely on magic also needs more training. I am very motivated!"
"Then I won't lose! Even if I can't use magic, I can still be of use. After all, I'm a goddess, a legitimate goddess! And, you see, as long as you take me with you, you'll be healed, right?"
The stupid goddess said to everyone with a smile.
I really don't know where she got the audacity to brag like this.
"I should have left yours behind..."
Xiaolin complained slightly.
the other side.
Axel Adventurer's Guild.
The counter lady Luna said with a little concern: "Mr. Kobayashi and the others are almost there, right? Huh? What's this shaking?!"
The ground of the guild began to shake.
No, not the guild, but the entire Axel began to shake!
"Wow, what is that?"
"Is it bigger than yesterday?!"
“That’s…! So, so big…?!”
Luna staggered out, and when she saw the huge shit-yellow slime, she was immediately frightened.
That tall figure almost covered the entire Adventurer's Guild.
But the Slime Walavi did not attack the town, perhaps because it felt it could not be defeated or the time was not right. In any case, it did not attack.
But the direction we were heading...
"Could it be that they are heading towards the 'Demon Sealed Cave'...?! Please be careful, Mr. Kobayashi...!"
She prayed as she quickly ran back to the guild and shouted to the anxious adventurers, "Guild members, although Valavi is still advancing on a road that few people have ever taken, we don't know when the damage will spread! So, please help with the defense if you are free!"
Summoning the guild's adventurers to resist foreign enemies is the guild's basic operation. This town has survived almost entirely with the help of the adventurers.
"But how?"
One of the adventurers asked everyone's question.
His question caused others to whisper.
"There's no major harm right now, why not wait a little longer?"
"No, now maybe you can get a good reward without doing anything?"
"I see, you can make a lot of money just by watching, let's do it!"
"Big sister of the guild, leave it to us!"
The adventurers gladly accepted the missions issued by the guild, but all of them just wanted to slack off in order to earn the bounty given by the guild.
And Luna became uneasy when she saw this.
"Mr. Xiaolin, please think of a solution quickly..."
"Ah, ah chirp——!"
Xiaolin sneezed loudly.
Aqua was surprised and asked, "Xiaolin, are you sick? It's okay, can I heal you?"
"No, I'm not sick... Never mind. Sorry to bother you."
Even though he refused, the stupid goddess came over and cast healing magic on him.
But Xiaolin hasn't been sick for a long time. Could it be that someone is thinking of him?
Darkness came over at this time, panting.
"Ha...ha...! This is such a great maze! Fierce attacks, one after another...! Ah, I can't stand it! Haha...! This maze is exactly what I wanted!"
This perverted female knight has been attacked since the beginning, and she even used taunting skills, fearing that the monsters could not attack her.
But the result of this guy's actions was that other people suffered.
“Please, attack me! Darkness will deflect the attack and float towards us!”
"Don't worry, I can handle it!"
"Are you listening to me, hey!"
Kobayashi couldn't stop the crazy perverted female knight at all, so he should quickly explore this place, find a way to deal with Slime Valavi, and then leave here.
Everyone moved on.
"...What? It seems like we can't go any further ahead?"
Blocking their way were three special stone tablet-like objects, which were engraved with messy runes and emitted a faint blue light, making them somewhat conspicuous.
"Only two or more Crimson Demons can pass through here."
Megumin said, “In the Demon Sealed Cave, there seem to be several traps that only respond to Crimson Demons. I think it’s to prevent people other than Crimson Demons from entering by mistake. I think it’s to prevent accidents during training, so you can’t enter alone, you have to go in with your companions… or something like that.”
"What, this?!"
Xiaolin shouted, scratching his head.
Looking at the blocked road, he sighed slightly and said, "There should be a countermeasure ahead..."
"I didn't expect it to be hidden in a place like this..."
"Isn't it your fault that you just randomly used it as a training facility? It's really troublesome..."
Xiaolin sighed slightly.
“There’s nothing we can do. Let’s go back to the guild for now. Besides Huihui and Youyou, let’s find someone else from the Crimson Demon Clan to help.”
"Really?! Didn't I tell you so long ago?"
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this!... Let's go back."
With Huihui's reluctant complaint, Kobayashi and the others prepared to go back home. They thought that having two Crimson Demons, Huihui and Youyou, would be enough, but they didn't expect that they would need another Crimson Demon.
no way.
Just as they were about to leave, Vanir suddenly came up to them.
“Fufuhahahaha——, a man who returned empty-handed and was swallowed by emptiness, this kind of negative emotion is good. Of course, I knew that the Crimson Devil Team needed more than two people, but I still followed silently.”
"If you knew, you should have said it from the beginning...!"
His bad taste is still as annoying as ever.
on the way back.
Xiaolin opened the map and said, "From the map on the foldout, the place where the countermeasure is kept should be the deepest part of the maze, but..."
"The road is blocked."
"The Demon Sealed Cave is full of giant spider nests. After destroying the nests, there should be a device. If you operate that device, a way forward will appear. Well, if you damage the nests, giant spiders will jump out... Because they are under the influence of the Demon Sealed, you can't use magic."
Huihui is indeed a member of the Crimson Demon Clan and seems to be very familiar with this place.
"Let's suppress it physically."
"Leave the physics to me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about when you can't even hit me with your attacks!"
Kobayashi angrily cursed at the confident perverted female knight, but she was not unhappy at all. Instead, she twisted her body with a look of enjoyment, and began to pant with a red face.
Seriously, that's enough!
