The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

25. I was expecting it

* * *

Nau, who sensed something by using his magic, stepped back with a slight frown.

“It’s magic radiation… ….”

“What!?”

“Damn it.”

The other party members were frightened by her words and stepped behind her.

Magic radiation. A phenomenon in which strong magical power contaminates the area and exposes everything in its place.

The main causes of this phenomenon are as follows. A nation-wide magic experiment, super-high-level magic, and a magical life form commonly referred to as demons.

“It’s dangerous.”

“Are you going to go in more?”

“Of course not. I have no intention of going back here.”

Either of these things were dangerous, but the girls rather welcomed this fact. Traditionally, risk = reward in this industry.

They immediately rummaged through their arms, pulled out a mask that covered their faces, put it on, and moved forward.

Evan, who was watching her, followed them after putting on the mask she had been given in advance. My vision was a little blurry, and my breathing was a little difficult.

‘If you meet an enemy in this state, you will be at a slight disadvantage… ….’

Evan handled the hilt of his sword, paying attention to possible situations. Fortunately for her, no monsters appeared.

It would be impossible to place monsters in an area that emits magic radiation. Golems, which are inanimate objects, lose their magic and return to stone if exposed to radiation for a long time.

Through that, the group who went inside found a space that looked like a laboratory with a plaid pattern. A desolate space with only one door barely enough for one person to pass through.

“Here it is.”

And that was the source of the magic radiation. The most valuable item of the dungeon they are aiming for must be there.

Evan consciously stepped forward and stood next to Lainia. Rania, with her shield on, looked at her door with a slightly strained expression.

Click-.

“It’s done.”

The moment Rogue unlocked the door, the door that had been firmly closed opened at will.

“Log! Why is the door suddenly open!”

“My, I didn’t open it! It opened on its own!”

As soon as the door opened, the scales that grew on Evan’s armor reacted even more violently. The pressure was strong enough that even the party without expensive armor like Evan could feel the magic radiation.

Contrary to the pressure that caused Lynia to swallow her saliva and retreat, Evan took the lead, trusting her own sword and armor.

“I will stand in front.”

“Evan…… ?”

“This is expensive, so I can easily block this much.”

Evan said that and touched my armor. Lainia laughed lightly at his words and stood behind Evan as she bowed her head apologetically.

Leading the lead, Evan ignored the pressure pushing him away and stepped inside, inside. Unlike the white space outside, the inside was a dark space without a single light.

At the same time that the wizard Now, who felt uncomfortable with securing his sight, created a light orb- Evan sensed that something was flying in front of him.

‘─What is it?’

I didn’t have time to think about what it was. Evan immediately drew his sword, and the dragon roared.

─Kwaaang-!

The dragon spewed forward with a light roar and collided with something that attacked Evan and the others.

Until now, no one had been able to withstand the blow, so Evan, who had stopped swinging his sword, was blown away by the attack of something that pierced the dragon.

“Evan—!?”

This is what Lynia and her colleagues saw during this long process. There was light, and as the dragon roared, Evan flew away.

I couldn’t understand what had happened, but they were adventurers. An adventurer who moves not with understanding and theory, but with experience and sense.

Lainia immediately took out her shield and blocked her in front of her. She stopped when she saw something dark in front of her.

“…… What is that?”

From her head to her toes, everything black stood there. It had a human form, but it was not human. That kind of thing can’t be human.

Seeing that figure, Nawu remembered a certain being he had seen in the literature. A demonic creature made up of magic.

Among them, the aristocrat of the Demon Realm who has completed himself beyond the ranks of senior or superlative. Named.

After blowing her Evan away, Raimu, who had been standing in a daze for a while, carefully opened her mouth.

─To be the first to attack…… Cheeky on the subject of bugs.

Raimu took her eyes off Evan, who didn’t move in the distance, and looked at Lainia and the others standing in front of her.

The gaze of fear. Sensing that gaze, Rania reflexively moved forward. She uses the tower shield that protects her body as a weapon and slashes it as if pushing it away.

Too-woo-! Having succeeded in her attack, Lainia felt her own touch and cautiously poked her head over her shield.

‘Success to the attack… ….’

─You.

However, Raimu, who was behind her shield, looked at Lainia with a nonchalant expression.

—Die.

As if squeezing an insect.

Gently press one of her fingers onto the shield.

With just that, Lainia was under the pressure of a mountain.

“Keuuugh-!”

“Rainia!”

The comrades who came to their senses belatedly shot arrows and magic, but nothing worked. As if cutting her water with a knife, every attack lightly passed through Raimu’s body.

Raimu, who crumpled her Lynia’s body lightly, looked at the rest of her party. Five people, including that guy from earlier. The meal I had in a long time seemed to be quite rich.

“Oh come, don’t come…… !”

─You can do it first.

She moved between her party in an instant, and Raimu lightly lifted her trembling log, which fell to her floor, and she swallowed it whole. His arms stretched out wide like a net and swallowed the log’s body.

Raimu, who finished digestion without leaving any bones or pieces of clothing behind, approached the remaining humans, expressing satisfaction with his meal after a long time.

It was an image of saving food, but after eating one, I started to feel even more hungry. I can’t stand it. I have no choice but to eat all the other guys…….

Suddenly!

—Huh?

And at that moment, Raimu’s right half fell to the floor. Raimu looked at the right half of his body that had fallen to the floor, then glanced in the direction where the sword energy flew.

Surely, Evan, who had been blown away earlier, was revealing himself, shaking off the dust.

“Killing Sister Rogue.”

─You didn’t manage to die.

“…… I was looking forward to it.”

Evan spat out words filled with anger and looked at Raimu. He didn’t express the fact that he would go back and do it, but he was looking forward to it a little.

He ruined it all.

“You are a creature that should not exist.”

─You are creatures that must exist. That way you can become my food!

Raimu, who regenerated his body by absorbing the right half of his body that fell on the floor, rushed at Evan as it was. Seeing this, Evan grabbed his sword and swung it once more.

“Definitely.”

Infinitely 無限斬.

Evan’s sword, which split into three, cuts Raimu’s body into thirds. That only briefly stopped Raimu, but his sword did not.

Cut, cut, cut again, cut continuously without giving a chance to regenerate.

“Huh-!”

The endless cutting has begun.

* * *

While Evan was dealing with Raimu, Agnes took her nun to recover Lainia, who had fallen to her floor.

After Lainia came to her senses belatedly, Agnes looked at her now and wondered how to overcome the current situation.

“Now, what the hell is that?”

“…… Named. A uniquely powerful being among the demons.”

“Is this a monster…… How to catch it?”

“If you run out of magic power, if you are sealed, or if you find out your true name… ….”

“Damn, these are all things I can’t do right now.”

Anes, biting her lip at the fact that there was no way, realized that there was one more room in the back.

This is the place where the monster was sealed away. If so, wouldn’t something to seal the monster also exist here?

Recognizing that fact, Agnes took the party and headed toward the door.

The door was locked.

“Damn-! Even if the Rogue guy didn’t die… !”

“He is also an adventurer, so he would have been prepared to die at any time.”

“I know-!”

In the end, it was only after Rania kicked her door like crazy that I was able to break it in half and get inside.

The party who went inside looked at the room covered with unknown mechanical devices and looked at the flagship.

“What is this again?”

“The Archmage’s Research Building…… You can’t break any of them.”

“Noisy! First of all, you have to figure out what to do with that guy!”

After hearing her words, the party spread out and started looking for a way.

Agnes, an elf, seemed to have shone through, as she pressed something in front of her mechanical device in succession, and then played a video.

[Experiment Log 131.]

“Uh, uh uh?”

[The experiment begins.]

Someone in the screen started feeding something to the slime. The food was changed every time.

But each time the food was eaten, the slime continued to change. Sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes spitting fire or spitting ice.

After evolving like that—the slime managed to upgrade itself to a non-slime existence.

[Fuhahahahaha-! With this, this proved! Demons and demons are in line with each other—!]

“What is that…….”

“Why? What do you mean by that?”

“The greatest discovery of the century… To prove that with an experiment…….”

Of all the people present, only Nau could understand what the man on the screen meant.

She watched the video to the end after expressing her respect for the man on the screen, presumably the archmage who created this dungeon.

[I invented a drug that artificially boosts the potential of living things. This drug will raise the potential of the creature to its limit. From this moment on, humanity——will become a new, more advanced humanity.]

At the end of the video-she noticed the man storing the medicine he made in a certain space. Agnes, with her keen eye, located where the drugs were kept.

“Ah… ….”

Unfortunately, there is only one drug left. The rest of the drugs were either corrupted or spilled from broken glass.

The only drug left. Agnes, who saw that, remained silent for a while, then looked at Lainia.

“…… Rania, can you do it?”

“If that is the only way.”

Agnes bit her lip and handed Lainia her medicine. It was something she didn’t know what would happen after she ate it—but Rania closed her eyes and swallowed her pills.

Then light began to emanate from her body.

* * *

─Man, do, on, th, kka, g.

“─!!”

The previously inhaled air passes through the lungs and reaches the heart, carrying blood and energy throughout the body. All the energy that was transferred was used up- Evan continued the apnea exercise for more than 5 minutes.

From noble mtl dot com

During the long five-minute period, she cut down Raimu nonstop.

But soon there is a limit. Living things cannot survive without breathing. Evan couldn’t evade the law.

“hahahaha!”

Raimu, aiming for the gap created by the lack of physical strength, attacked Evan as it was. It was Evan who swung his sword and cut down Raimu, but unfortunately Raimu was an existence close to Evan’s natural enemy.

A creature whose entire body is made of liquid like slime, and cannot be cut.

Just as it doesn’t take much energy to combine water with water, Raimu didn’t need to spend much energy to restore his body.

─That’s amazing. But that’s it.

When Raimu burst into admiration at Evan, who almost killed himself, grinning and extending his hand toward Evan, Evan grinned and looked behind Raimu.

“Late…… It is.”

─What?

Rimu reacted to that, and as soon as he turned around, Raimu’s body stiffened. Raimu stiffened as he looked at his motionless body.

─What is this…….

“I never thought it would turn out like this.”

Beyond the inner door, nine fox-tailed Lainia appeared.

Lainia, who had been spewing out her magical energy, opened her mouth while holding Raimu with her magic.

“I will pay off the debt from earlier.”

—You, damned youkai!

“Where are you looking?”

─Whoops!

And then, Evan swung his sword. From the cut-off part, fox fire gushed out gently. Seeing this, Evan grinned and gripped the sword once again.

“Die.”

Infinitely 無限斬.

The endless attacks shatter Raimu’s body.
