Chapter 381: Demon King (3)
Chapter 381: Demon King (3)
Asil and Flora wanted to help the hero party, so I decided to help them, but I didn't really want to help them.
But ironically, the person who could be most helpful in rescuing the hero was me.
Because I had a radar.
Even if you are locked in a hidden dungeon, you can pinpoint its location.
I don't know if it's underground or above ground. But where is it?
Like Lev, the warrior named Serena will be marked as neutral, so you can see where she is as long as she is within range of the radar.
If you want to save it, you first have to know where it is.
"You mean you had that ability?"
When Lev heard about my abilities, he was surprised but somehow seemed to understand it.
"No wonder. "When I came to visit, it seemed like he knew I would come."
"Isn't it amazing?"
"It's so amazing that I can't even put it into words. Then, all I have to do is take you near the Demon King's Castle?"
"Yes. "Can you do it?"
"Hey. Who do you think I am? Even ordinary people can tour the Demon King's Castle with my guidance."
No way. Anyway, I think that's unreasonable.
Anyway, I took it as a sign that I was confident.
"Then shall we leave right away? No. "Wait a minute."
After rummaging through his luggage for a moment, Lev took out a pretty headdress with jewels and gave it to Flora.
"Ruler. Miss. "Take it."
"I... What is this?"
"I said I would give it to you if you help me. "This is prepaid."
Prepaid?
After hearing those words and taking a closer look at the item Lev gave me, I realized that it was not just a pretty headdress.
Magical Tiara – Emerald.
It was the last part of the magical girl set that Lev had promised!
"What. Are you going to give it to me now? You haven't even helped me yet. Why?"
"I originally wanted to give first and then get help. It's such a dangerous place. It's better to be a little stronger."
"Hmm. What if we leave like this?"
"Then what? I had to give up because I didn't have eyes for people. Still, just the potion you gave me has already helped."
There's nothing I can say about him because he's such a cool guy.
I suggested Flora to try wearing a tiara.
"Youngcha... Huh? Nothing's wrong?"
"Okay? "Don't you say you can see something like an invisible fairy?"
"Not really."
It seems that collecting the set does not immediately make you a magical girl.
Then is there some condition?
"This is it. "That."
"You know. Do you have any guesses?"
"Flora. Come here. Do it like this, like this..."
Asil touched Flora's arms around and made her pose.
Extend your left arm forward and raise your right arm above your head... I'm not sure, but it was a strange pose.
"Ruler. Shout! Transformation!"
"Rice, transformation!"
When Flora shouts transformation as Asil tells her, Flora's body is suddenly wrapped in light...
Flora's clothes were gone.
Flora's naked body was revealed, with only the protuberances of her breasts and the crack between her legs barely visible thanks to her strangely sparkling light.
"Oh."
"What are you doing? Hey. "Aren't you going to turn your head right now?!"
Whether Lev was blindfolded by Silpierre beside her, a new swarm of light fell on Flora's naked body.
The cluster of lights that seemed to melt together and emit bright light eventually began to take the shape of a costume.
When her last cluster of light had melted away, Flora was wearing a completely different outfit than when she first started.
On her head is a tiara decorated with gold and jewels.
Her slender neck and shoulders were wrapped with a flowing ribbon, and her breasts were highlighted by the size of Flora's breasts, bringing out her charm.
The hem of her sky-high skirt is translucent, showing off the soft inner skin that is not covered by the over-the-knee socks that cover her legs... Oh, it's too long. In any case, it was a flowy, frilly outfit worthy of being called a magical girl.
"Wow..."
Flora herself was curious, turning her body this way and that and looking down at her own clothes. She wished she had a mirror.
"Flora. "That outfit is so cute."
"Huh? Lol. Thank you, Soira."
"But what about performance? "I don't think it's just pretty clothes."
"The magic power jumped..."
"Ah. Want to find out the performance of your equipment? Wait for a sec. We have a status scroll."
Silpierre, who was listening to the story, handed over a scroll.
Thank god. I can see the status window, but I have no way to let other kids know, so I was wondering what to do.
With Scroll, you don't have to worry about how to hide your identity as a player and reveal your performance.
A scroll was used in the magical girl costume worn by Flora.
If we exclude the miscellaneous details and just look at the set effects...
「Set effect:
1. Grants a bonus to all actions that consume magical power.
2. Gain temporary "Flight" Ability. Flying consumes magical power.
3. You can obtain specific effects by consuming random gems. The effect obtained is determined by the type of gem.
4. Part of the damage received can be consumed as magical power instead.
5. The form of a magically created projectile can be changed to a gem. At this time, magic has additional physical attack power.
... 」
There were so many.
When I got Flora's first equipment, the staff, I felt like the potential of her equipment was focused on the set effect, and it was the same.
"Flora. It's called flying! Fly!"
"Oh, you know. Wait. I'm not used to this. Like this... ?"
As Flora concentrated her mind, various jewels formed by magical power appeared in a circle behind her.
And I thought the jewel was shining.
– Boom!
"Aya!"
Flora flew up and hit her head on the cave ceiling.
But Flora came down and touched the top of her head with a puzzled look on her face.
"... "It doesn't hurt, does it?"
"Part of the damage can be replaced with magical power... I guess it's because of this."
"Oh. It's true. "The magic attribute has decreased a bit."
It looks like it hurts a lot, but seeing as it doesn't feel like anything, I guess it's quite effective.
Whether it was flight or anything else, it seemed like it would take time for Flora to be able to understand and use the many effects.
"Let's find out while we're back."
"Huh? Soira. "Go now?"
"Huh. "I'll be back soon."
She left the cave with Lev.
◆
How on earth did I find this way? I was able to enter the Demon King's Castle after going through several unbelievable side roads and passages.
"If you go from here to there, there is a food warehouse. I was indebted to him often. And if you want to go further in, this is the way."
"Have you ever been inside the castle?"
"A little bit when exploring on your own. "I couldn't go deep inside the castle because the security was tighter."
"You have to be careful from here on out. Let's go."
Search was slow.
Secretly searching for a target in the enemy's stronghold was more difficult than expected.
If it weren't for Lev's outstanding skills and one of my "Radars," There were several times when I would have been caught.
Still, the risk was finally worth taking.
"... There is."
A sign indicating neutrality was detected at the edge of the radar.
It must be Serena.
"Where?"
"Therefore... Hmm... This much."
I drew what I felt was a radar location on the floor.
It's a bit ambiguous because it's a feeling I get from an ability rather than a real radar, but I was able to draw it somehow.
Lev, who saw my picture, said with a serious expression.
"What? Here is..."
"Why. "Do you know this place?"
"Soira. "Is that tower over there this far away?"
The place Lev pointed on my picture matched the distance felt by my abilities.
"Then I guess this is the right place..."
"Where is it?"
"Ah. Sorry. The distance from here in this direction is exactly there. The devil's throne."
"... Throne?"
"Okay. "It is also the place where we fought the devil."
"It could be a different floor in a similar location."
"No. There was no basement or second floor. It's the throne. I'm sure."
"Then Serena is with the devil."
"Umm..."
"Lev. Let's go back first. Just knowing that I am with the Demon King is a great harvest."
"... Okay. Let's go back."
We turned around and escaped.
◆
Upon returning to the cave, Gaidon, following Berti, had also opened his eyes.
It seemed like my physical condition wasn't perfect yet, but I felt like the dangerous time had already passed.
He gathered everyone together and told them that it seemed like Serena and the Demon King were together.
It looks like the devil is probably dragging Serena around.
So how can we rescue Serena without the Demon King knowing?
While everyone put their heads together and thought about it, I thought a little differently.
Aside from the fact that the Demon King takes Serena with him, it was obvious what they were doing while traveling together like that.
Because this is a night game.
A magic said to have been used by the devil. Serena's personality. In-game, there are absolute WM settings and even the genre cliche of a night game.
All things considered... I didn't know that this matter could be ended surprisingly easily.
