The mouth of the octopus is open horizontally and its sharp teeth resemble those of a shark.

"It's the first time I've seen them," Conou said.

Not only was it the first time he had actually seen it, but he didn't have any information about it.

Apparently, he did not know what their rank or name was. He didn't know what kind of abilities they had.

"Interesting. ”

Grano adjusted his glasses.

"But they're still octopuses. ”

Having acquired a new body and equipment, Ed became extremely confident.

"It's true," Conou agreed.

After all, how strong is an octopus?

In addition, they have a mid-200s mage Granno.

Conou looked at Grano.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes. ”

Granor retrieved a blue sphere from his subspace. It is about the size of a basketball but looks similar to a pearl.

This is a "orb", an item that mages use to replace personnel.

"So, take action first. Con said.

The mages are all a powerful blow. In addition, Cono also wants to see how strong Granor is.

"I understand. ”

Granor begins to cast a spell.

"The tranquil ...... of the blue waves"

Unlike skills that can be used immediately, spells usually require spells to be cast.

In exchange, spells that require spells are more powerful than skills.

“... Sweep away all the hidden stuff!"

He pushes the ball towards the octopus-shaped monster, and the water starts to flow out of it.

Riptide!

Chuck!

Six water cannons attacked the monsters.

Half of the monster was swept away by the water and crashed into the wall.

"Oh. ”

Conou was in awe

Compared to Eder's mediocre bones or cursed magic, it's refreshing to see real magic from a mage.

Ruta!

Tulu!

Those who were not swept away by the waves let out strange cries and rushed towards Granor.

They move forward with their suction leg legs. However, they were surprisingly fast.

Universal Developer!

Ed stomped on the ground.

The Star of David at his feet turns into black lines that stretch in all directions.

He's using the Cursed Lands: Ruined Walls!

Ed placed the shield in front of him, blocking the path of the approaching monster.

Eat!

The vanguard octopus rushes towards Ed's shield.

It tried to tear Edel to shreds with its sharp teeth.

"Die!"

Ed wielded his mace.

Bang!

A mace with a nail in it struck the octopus in the head.

Then, the head of the octopus becomes flattened, like a dried fillet.

He brandished his mace again.

Whack!

Prosperity!

After his mace made contact with the octopus, it erupted with a small explosion with a "boom".

Kyushu!

The octopus falls to the floor.

Grano completes another spell.

Water polo!

Grano shot a fist-sized water projectile from the orb.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

The water balloon hits the head and legs of the octopus.

Ed Octopus, who was hit by a water balloon, fell.

Conou has not yet joined the battle and continues to spy on Eder and Grano.

"Ed turned into a full-fledged tank. ”

Back when Edel became a skeleton, he was more of a supporter specializing in utility, but by owning the body of the immortal king Arummod, he could both weaken and attack enemies with curses.

"Granor is a mage throughout. ”

Grano is not a battle mage. He is a magician who works to create magical devices.

Therefore, his combat abilities and the destructive power of magic are not very high. However, he is not a weakling either.

He is good enough for the job of 1 or 1.5 people.

Then

The octopus, swept away by Granor's spell, is brought under control.

There are more than twenty.

"I think I should go there now, too. ”

His body itched.

Con'ou gripped the demonic sword tightly and entered the battlefield.

Darkness is coming!

His demonic sword unleashed the Kuroshio Tide along the path of his sword.

Prosperity!

Huge fragments of light color the sky. The octopus that was hit by the Dark Strike drooped.

[You defeated Chestnut Horse.] ]

[Data has been stolen via "Dark Strike.] ]

[Physics +1]

"They're called chestnut horses, aren't they?"

The octopus-shaped monster is called Chestnut Horse.

They are stronger than the Thunderbird Agats.

Despite this, Conou knocked out Kurimas faster than his Onyx.

The reason behind this is none other than Ed, whose effects in the Cursed Lands are incredible.

Due to the influence of the Cursed Lands, attacks that would have required two or three attacks to complete only required one.

"Good. ”

Conou felt that providing Eder with a new body had paid off.

Tailu!

Maxima's cry shocked Conou back to reality.

It opened its mouth wide.

A snake-like tongue emerges from the black, gaping fish maw.

Cono moved to the left, avoiding Karima's tongue.

However, at the end of Karima's tongue there are sharp teeth like saw blades.

The tongue is in the mouth.

The end of the tongue punctures the air. The sound itself is intimidating.

However, Conou's ultra-instincts warn his tongue.

While the tongue is a powerful weapon, it is also a chestnut horse's weak point.

Conou slashed his tongue with his sword.

。

The chestnut horse's tongue splattered with red shards.

Kailulu!

The chestnut horse trembled, trying to withdraw his tongue as quickly as possible.

However, Cono is coming.

Conou cut his tongue again.

Southwest!

The sharp tongue trembled, glowing red.

Then, its eight eyes began to glow red. Its body also changed color, turning red like a cooked octopus.

Super instincts warn him of danger.

Danger, danger!

Conou quickly defended himself with his sword and withdrew from Kulima.

The chestnut horse's body swells rapidly like a balloon.

Prosperity!

Its body exploded. Sharp teeth flew around like shrapnel from grenades.

Cracks, cracks, cracks!

Several tooth shards struck his sword with a screeching sound.

A few more grasses grazed his body, and he received a message that he was hurt.

Next to him, Ed (Eder), who was in a relationship with Kulimas (Kulimas), was also hit by a barrage of teeth.

Cracks, cracks, cracks!

Ed (Eder) blocks the tooth shrapnel with his four-color skull shield.

"When you attack their tongues, they blow up. Please be careful," Conou shouted.

"Okay. Ed said, smashing his shield at the approaching chestnut.

"And then let's force them to self-destruct," shouted Granno, who was supported from behind.

Conou, who was dealing with the new chestnut horse, glanced in the direction of Granor.

"Forcing them to self-destruct?"

"Yes. I know a spell called Water Prison. It doesn't matter if we imprison the monsters in the explosion or not," Grano said quickly.

Conou quickly considered his options.

Well, in this way, we will be able to quickly dismantle it. ”

If their tongues are struck twice, the chestnut people will self-destruct.

If they can cope with the aftermath of the explosion unscathed, then they can defeat Kulimas in two blows.

"Okay. Let's give it a try. ”

Cono lunged at Kulima whom he had kicked away.

Chestnut Horse fell twice on the floor and stuck out his tongue at Conou.

Cono shook his body from left to right. It was as if he were a willow tree.

Once the target is seen shaking, it slashes into the air senselessly.

Con quickly swung his magic sword and immediately slashed his tongue twice.

Red shards spilled out of the top and bottom of the tongue like glass, hitting the floor.

Kuraha!

Maxima's eyes glow red, and his body turns red.

"Mr. Granor!"

Conou sent him a signal that "the time is up".

At the same time, he defended himself with a sword.

Grano's lips moved slightly. The ball in his hand began to spin.

Squash!

Chestnut horses are surrounded by water droplets.

It inflated like a balloon and was about to explode.

Water prison though faster. It wraps around chestnut horses as if it were fruit smeared with jelly.

Chestnut Horse exploded.

Bubble.

There was no explosion. Instead, countless bubbles rise from the water, and chestnut horses turn into particles of light.

Its teeth remain in the water. However, due to water resistance, the teeth lose their strength and speed.

Several teeth flew out of the water, but they were very fragile.

Teeth that could not escape flowed through the water, and when the water prison ended, the splinters shattered on the floor.

"Got to see every part of the program firsthand. Con said.

"Then, let's do the rest with that method," Grano said. ”

"You know what to do, right?" Conou asked Ed.

Ed nodded.

He repelled his tongue with a mace.

"I'm going to keep going. ”

Cono pointed his knife at the nearest chestnut horse.

Then came the water.

As soon as Conou and Eder start aiming at their tongues, a pair of Kulima begin to self-destruct.

When they do, Granno will surround them with his water prison.

The self-destruction of the Kulimas becomes meaningless and ends up leaving only their teeth.

The devil's lair hunt is too sweet.

By forcing them to self-destruct and then trapping them in a water prison, they can quickly kill the Kulima clan.

As a result, Conou quickly escalated. He is currently level 110.

"There are stairs falling here. ”

Ed, who was standing in the vanguard, pointed to the end of the passage. Unsurprisingly, there are stairs that go further.

Granno illuminated the staircase with the glow of the crystal.

"I didn't see any monsters or traps," Granor said observing the stairs.

"Let's go. ”

Conou's party began to walk down the stairs.

Because there are no monsters or traps on the stairs, it is easy for the anti-Japanese party to reach the basement level.

The caverns on the first floor of the Demon's Lair are larger and filled with seawater, so much so that they actually slow down their advance.

There is another monster that appears here along with the chestnut horse.

The new monster is an ugly fish that resembles a monkfish.

Its body is wide and flat, and it is swollen at the same time. It has uneven skin and a large mouth.

However, it only has one eye.

In addition, the rake is attached to the front and rear legs like a frog.

It's about the size of a big dog.

"It's also the first time I've seen this thing. ”

Like the "Chestnut Horse", he also does not have any information about this monster.

thump

They approached as they splashed water.

The octopus-shaped Curimas scales the wall with a suction cup.

"Ed, keep those ugly people company," Conou said.

"Even though they're all ugly. ”

Octopus and monkfish. For Ed, it's hard to figure out which one looks worse.

"Those. ”

Con'ou pointed to the monkfish-shaped monster.

"Understood. ”

"Mr. Granno. You and I will take care of Kurimas quickly first. ”

Conou plans to quickly take down Kurimas and then focus on the new monsters.

"I'm ready. ”

The sphere above his palm began to spin like a globe.

And then...

Aookka!

Monsters resembling monk fish open their mouths, drool in the process, and then rush towards them.

"Hap. ”。

Following Con'ou's orders, Ed pushed forward to receive them.

This is how the fight against new types of monsters begins.
