"Francis, how long have we been gone?" said Randygrace, already a little impatient. The road on the mountain was not possible to ride at all, so Francis tied his horse to a tree and walked up the hill himself.

"It's nothing, it's only an hour!" Francis disagreed.

"I said, are you on the right path, and we haven't found anything for so long?" No wonder Randy Grace was impatient, and Francis walked straight ahead without saying where to go.

"It's not that you didn't find it, but you can't find it!" Francis stopped, pointed to the grass and said, "I followed the traps on the road all the way, these are all traps set by the hunters down the mountain!"

"It's fake! Why didn't I see it!" Randy Grace followed the direction that Francis was pointing, and sure enough, there was a trap there.

"And ......" Francis frowned, if it was true, then the matter was a little troublesome.

"And what!" asked Randygrace as she watched Francis stop talking.

"Didn't you notice? These traps, including those traps... It's all new!The people under the mountain haven't been here to catch wild beasts for a long time......" Francis said solemnly.

"What do you mean?" Randygrace swallowed, the air around her seemed to be a little cold.

"These traps, the day they were set up, they didn't catch any prey!" Francis looked up, he didn't feel anything from what he saw, the mountain was really quiet......

Randy Grace hugged Grey tightly in her arms, and her body slowly leaned towards Francis. "Are you saying that all the creatures here are dead?"

"Not all of them are dead, but many are still alive!" Francis said coldly.

"What is it?" said Randygrace nervously.

"Ants!"

"......" Randygrace's hand tightened, nearly strangling Grey to death, "It's not funny!

"I think it works, isn't it?, our knightesses aren't so scared anymore!" Francis tugged at the brim of her hat, "I guess you won't be able to laugh if you want to!"

"Goo!" Randygrace swallowed, Francis gave him the feeling that it was more dangerous than the mountain.

"Ti... Child... I... I'm going to die!" Gray had already rolled her eyes.

"Ahh

"Roar――――――!" Grey transformed, from a kitten to a three-meter-long leopard with a white body. On her forehead there was also a white gem that shone with a holy light.

Is this what she is? Francis observed slightly, a little less domineering than his own Gary.

Seeing that Francis didn't react, Gray cut off with disdain, "Little ghost, now you know I'm not a cat!"

"yes, the cat isn't that big!" Francis turned away from Grey and walked up the hill.

"Hmph!" Grey glared at Francis's back, this guy, as Till's said, was very annoying.

"Is it true that Gray Francis said that all the creatures on this mountain are dead?" Randy Grace rode on top of Gray and followed Francis.

"I don't know if it's dead, but ...... There was no trace of life left in my senses!!" Grey looked up, what had happened to the mountain......

"Goo!" Randygrace swallowed, her previous mission wasn't so terrifying. "Francis, where are we going?"

"Go to the place where the accident happened!" said Francis, who was no less fast than Randy Grace on Grey's rugged mountain road.

"Do you know where the location is?" asked Randygrace curiously.

"I don't know!" replied Francis.

"Then you dare to go on so confidently!" said Randygrace angrily.

"No! I have my own basis!"

"What evidence? What evidence have you found?"

"My gut tells me that the place where the accident is ahead!" Francis's words annoyed Randy Grace and Grey.

This time I will definitely ask the Bishop to change my boss, this guy, if this continues, I will go crazy sooner or later...... Randy Grace made a decision in her mind.

"Huh!?" Francis paused, looking ahead of him.

"What's wrong? Stop suddenly!" said Randy Grace, riding Gray and Francis side by side.

"The elements here fluctuate...... It's weird! I've never experienced such elemental fluctuations!" Francis whispered.

"Elemental fluctuations!" Randygrace looked at Grey below her, she was a knight, she used a fighting spirit, and she was not very sensitive to the fluctuations of magic elements.

"That's right!At least the light elemental is very unstable, it's bad!" Grey looked down and sniffed, "There's a strange smell here!"

"Smell?" Randy Grace quickly asked, is there anything here? Francis also looked at Grey, wondering what Grey smelled.

"The sweet smell of blood...... Dirt, and the smell of bed bugs!" Grey closed her eyes and slowly analyzed, the smell of the wind.

"Blood, dirt, bed bugs!" Francis closed his eyes, his eyes wide open, and he surveyed his neighborhood.

This is...... Is this it?

"Let's go, come with me! I know where the accident is!" Francis turned and walked to the right.

"How do you know where it is?" Gray chased after Francis in three or two steps.

"Keep going, there's a cave there! I thought, we're all puzzled...... We'll get the answer there!" Francis strode forward, not trying to explain his domineering appearance.

"Is it intuition?" Randygrace had begun to fantasize about Francis's strange abilities.

"That's it! and...... We're here!" Francis paused to look at the cave in front of him, and cracks in the ground were spreading out of the hole. This cave inhales gas one moment and exhales it again, like a mouth.

"The people down the mountain haven't mentioned this cave to me!" Randygrace looked at the cave solemnly, even she could feel the strange elemental fluctuations in the air at this moment.

"How's that, do you want to go in?" said Francis, standing in front of the cave, "Bishop Ivanov said that even if the mission fails, we will be considered successful, what do you think, Randygres?"

"What about you?" asked Randy Grace, looking at Francis.

"This is my first mission, so I can't give up halfway! Although I'm not the kind of person who pursues perfection, this task must be completed!" Francis thought of his system mission, if this mission fails, I don't know what will happen......! That system can do everything.

"Francis, aren't you afraid?" Randygrace looked at the bottomless cave in front of her, as if it were a demon's open mouth, and below it was another world......

Frightened!?mmmm

"You can't go down, but I advise you not to go, I don't know what is in here?" Francis was worried that there would be something down there that he would not be able to take off guard against, and that if something went wrong with Rantygrès, he would not be able to explain it to Ivanov.

"Hmph, I've got a Holy Rank Grey, you're still worried about yourself!" the knight's pride didn't allow her to run away from the battle.

"It's going to be dangerous, just in case ......"

"I'm a knight! Even if I die, I will choose to die in battle! When I fall, my body must never turn its back to the enemy! That's what my teacher told me, if so, even if I die, I'm his proud student!" Randygrace took out her knight's sword and looked at Francis solemnly.

"Oh!-Do you have a good teacher!!! Let's go!" Francis strode forward, stepping straight into the cave, Randy Grace riding Grey right behind. Taking advantage of the fact that Randy Grace and the two were not paying attention, Francis casually left his palm print on the stone at the door, and Aiolos hung far behind, hoping that he would not get lost.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Illumination!" Francis waved his staff and cleared the way in front, Randy Grace following closely behind, and at the back, the jewel on Grey's head also glowed softly. The cave gradually becomes low, and riding on Grey instead affects Randy Grace's movements.

"It's so deep!" the cave kept diagonally downward, as if there was no end.

"Well, now we're at least a mile above the surface," Grey exclaimed, her hoarse voice terrifying in the cave. As a Saint-Rank Demonic Beast, her intuition is definitely superior to that of humans.

"Francis, we haven't ...... yet" Randygris was about to ask if Francis was there now, but Francis stopped, and she almost bumped into Francis as she followed.

"The end is not there, though, the hosts don't seem to like us uninvited guests very much!" the illumination in Francis's hand grew stronger, and the situation ahead was clearly visible.

"This is ......" Randygrace looked in horror at the dense giant beetles in front of her, what is this?

"Appetizers! The feast is yet to come!" Francis saw a bigger bug in the back, what was this...... Wormholes?
