95 Episode 95: "The Fourth Hierarchy of" Elusion "and Flora-Zamel Rescue Requests" (1/2)

- A few hours ago. The Zamelites are searching for Elusion.

The ”Zamelites” party reached the fourth tier of ”Erución”.

There was no wear and tear at all.

Because if you use a hidden passage in the second tier, the stairs behind the third tier are just around the corner.

The party members are one C sorcerer and one D and E sorcerer at a time.

Two other avant-gardes hired in the Adventurers Guild. One luggage carrier.

In addition, there was Flora-Zamel, who put together the prototype armor.

”You don't have to be afraid of demons if you have that 'replica road'. Don't worry about exploring. Flora.”

”Yes, sir”

What Flora-Zamel is putting together was pure white armor.

This is an ”ancient artifact replica” made by my grandfather, the Class A sorcerer Zamel, and the ones from ”The Zamelites”.

It is developed with the aim of being equivalent to the legendary King's Knight (Road).

It's still in the prototype phase, but far beyond normal armor.

The difference in appearance from King's Ride is that there is no helmet.

The joint is not made of metal, but of leather or cloth.

Around here, they don't have a choice because they're still in the process of development.

”Do you have instructions on how to use 'Replica Road'?

”The Zamelites,” said the C-class magician.

”Yes, strengthening physical abilities using the magic of the wearer and the occurrence of defensive fields. My grandfather told me to protect myself.”

Flora nodded.

My grandfather probably cares for himself.

He put a C-class magician on the party so Flora could dive into the lower level.

The party leader is Flora because she foils her career.

Furthermore, my grandfather gave me the prototype 'Replica Road' to protect herself.

Now you'll hit a bee if you're dissatisfied.

”Flora has already achieved the merit of defeating Giant Auga. Plus, if you get credit in the fourth tier, you'll be promoted to C without an exam.”

”… I do not wish to be promoted in a hurry”

”What do they say, Master Flora!

The C-level magician screamed.

”Now that the 'Cains' are gaining strength, the 'Zamels' must be as powerful as they can be confronted. You, the granddaughter of old Zamel, are the one who should be the banner of the new era!!

”... I'm not that much”

”Didn't you defeat 'Giant Auga'”

”You've said it many times! He said I wasn't the one who knocked that one down. Something like a black shadow dancing in the sky helped me! Yet...”

”The 'Zamelites' have decided to put it in your hands. No further changes can be made. It was Flora who defeated Giant Auga!

”... ugh”

”We, the 'Zamelites', are a collection of those who shared Old Zamel's desire to 'excel in witchcraft'. Even if it doesn't reach Ancient Sorcery Civilization, I want to see with this eye what the Church of the Sanctuary sees… that's the kind of wish we all have.”

The C-level magician said as he jerked off the flora.

”I mean, the 'Zamelites' are the ones most enthusiastically involved in witchcraft. You need results to know that. Old Zamel makes this” Replica Road, ”and Flora wears it as a young flag and achieves results. It has to be!

”... ok. I will do whatever I can......”

Flora-Zamel looked at the door in front of him, sounding his armor.

Both doors open. Ahead lies the fourth hierarchy of 'Elusion'.

The fourth level is Graveyard.

Countless headstones lined the doors, and the undead were nestled, ”Magic Guild” scouts said.

Most importantly, the scouts can't move on from there.

Besides around the entrance, it's an unknown world.

”Everyone, you're taking care of the undead!?

”” ”” Yes!!

”... Yes”

Flora-Zamel answers the words of the C-Class Mage with the other members.

The avant-garde warriors are equipped with a magical weapon to fight the undead.

The sorcerers are preparing the fast-activated 'Ancient Sorcery' and the Sorcery of Purification. As soon as I open the door, I'm trying to let the magic go.

The back of the luggage carrier (porter) is filled with bottles of holy water.

Holy water is a valuable item that can damage the undead.

The 'Zamelites' flora party was well prepared.

Even if we could not step through the fourth hierarchy, we should have been able to explore fully.

”Let's start exploring.”

On the signal of a Class C mage, the Flora-Zamel line set foot on the fourth tier.

And...

─ ─ Currently, at the reception of ”Magic Guild” (Yuki perspective) ─

”… the measures were supposed to be adequate”

This is the reception building for the 'Magic Guild'.

The 'Zamelite' class C magician who sat on the floor kept talking.

”What was unexpected was that the ghosts nesting in the fourth tier reacted unusually quickly to 'ancient magic'. The Ghosts flocked massively when they worked with the chant of Ancient Sorcery. Some demons were like golems. It was as if someone was leading us.”

The people at the reception are listening in silence.

Me and Odette, so is Gisele.

Some officials just popped out of the building.

I thought you were screaming to contact ”Old Zamel” and ”His Highness Cain”.

The party, which was about to head for a low-tier exploration, is also now stopping moving.

It's as if the 'Magic Guild' has stopped functioning.

”While we were dealing with the Ghost - Flora-Zamel was possessed by the high-ranking Ghost that emerged from the ground - no,” Replica Road ”- possibly by the armor that was put together. Shortly afterwards, Flora-Zamel ran off with every armor.”

”What about holy water!? What's wrong with the 'ancient magic' of purification!?

To the voice raised from the sorcerers around him, the C-level sorcerer shook his head beside him.

”I told you. When the undead pushes me when I try to use 'Ancient Magic'. The bottles of holy water... have all been destroyed by Flora-Zamel himself...”

Class C magicians keep talking to squeeze it out.

That Flora-Zamel has started attacking themselves from behind.

That she was crying.

That the armor still kept rumbling.

Eventually, she ran away across the fog.

I tried to chase him, but he blocked my hands from going to the massive undead.

─ ─ The ”Zamelite” C-level mage kept talking with his head in his arms.

”... Flora, you should still be in the fourth tier... please. Send me a rescue party. The information on” Replica Road ”gathered by Flora... will be leaked (and) by everyone in the Alliance... but I can't replace that person's life. So...”

”An undead that comes together when you use 'ancient magic'... then the countermeasure is...”

When I snapped, the people around me looked at me all at once.

... I thought I said it in a whisper.

It was just quiet, so the others seemed to hear it.

”No, it's a simple interest... maybe Ghost has been swarming with 'ancient objects' too...?

”Ah, oh. Exactly!

The C-level magician screamed.

”Flora's” Replica Road ”is made by imitating (also) ancient objects. The Ghosts could have come after it.”

”... that's it”

Unexpectedly, my voice sounded.

Several men stood at the entrance to the building.

An old man with gray hair looks at me so that I can be protected by a young magician.

He's the head of ”The Zamelites,” old Zamel, a Class A sorcerer.

”... we shouldn't be talking aloud about the mistakes of Washi and the other 'Zamelites'”

With a faint voice, Old Zamel said.
