Chapter 385 – Pandemonium (4)

Hearing a voice from somewhere, Dojin stopped and looked around. There would be no one in the party who has less hearing than Dojin, but the girls looked at Dojin and tilted their heads as if they hadn’t heard anything.

“…… Didn’t you hear something just now?”
“No? Nothing-.”
“I think I heard something like a brother….”

Do-jin, who thought she was in a bad mood, looked around her and was wary of her monsters. Although no monsters came into her field of vision, there could be monsters out of her senses her, such as the underground monsters on the 71st floor.

Considering such a case, she couldn’t be caught off guard – Do-jin moved forward without letting her guard down.

While she was on the alert for a long time, Emilia, who had grown tired of her vigilance her, expressed her dissatisfaction.

“Why are there no monsters on this floor?”
“…… It’s not that there isn’t, it’s possible that it’s something we haven’t found.”
“So what, do you mean all the monsters went underground?”

Saying that, Emilia began poking the sand beneath her feet. She didn’t feel the touch of anything underneath her.

She poked her bottom her a few times, but Emilia, who didn’t find anything strange about her, opened her mouth as she removed her winter sword her.

“Wow, what is this? What kind of sand is so sticky?”
“What?”
“No, this- the sand sticks to it and doesn’t come off?”

Hearing Emilia’s words, Do-jin checked the sand on her sword. She brushed off the grit as she thumped her sword, but the grit clinging to her sword her did not come off easily.

She was improbable given her strength. No matter how strong her sand is hers or other electromagnetic force is, it won’t be able to overcome Emilia’s muscular strength hers.

“Eh, this time in my hands…….”
“Aderange.”
“Okay, master.”
“Yes? What is it, master Why all of a sudden…”

Ade Lange, who received a signal from Dojin, shot her own blood toward the sand on Emilia’s hand her. The blood was sticky as well, but it was enough to wash away the sand.

If this sand had been ordinary sand, the sand on Emilia’s hands would have washed away in no time. But no matter how much blood she shot, the sand on her hands she did not come off easily.

“Whoa- Owner, it looks like you’ve already been hurt.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
“What, what are you talking about that only you know?”

While Emilia, who still did not understand the meaning of her, tilted her head, Dojin let out a sigh and pointed to her surroundings and said.

“Emilia, you said there were no monsters here, right?”
“No…… You really don’t have one?”
“It’s nothing. It was already surrounded by monsters.”
“…… Already under siege?”
“Okay.”

Wherever? Emilia clamped down on the question that was about to come out of her mouth. At this point, it was strange that she didn’t even notice.

Emilia quietly looked down at her hand her. Tiny grains of sand were embedded in her hands.

By channeling her magic her into her optic nerves to enhance her eyesight her, she could see that she was not just a grain of sand, but something so small.

They were chewing on her palms and growing little by little.

“This whole class is our enemy.”

Dojin said that and pointed at her ground her.
Countless vast deserts of sand-all of which were their enemies her.

* * *

It is extremely difficult for humans to fight and defeat beasts.
Even if you use tools. The reason why it was called the lord of all creation- Even after the invention of gunpowder, hunting a huge beast alone was enough to be called a feat.

However, it is impossible for humans to fight against nature and win.
It is the same with a fully developed scientific civilization, and the same is true for a superman who has easily surpassed humans. Humans cannot fight nature and win.

Thus, the shock that Do-jin and his party must have had to fight against nature and win was something that could not be explained.

‘The number of enemies is probably in the hundreds of trillions.’

I got a rough idea of ​​how wide this tier was. A little over a few kilometers in radius. Do-jin does not have the mathematical knowledge or ability to figure out how many sands are filled in it.

Even so, I know that there are too many enemies. It’s such a big number that I don’t even need to count it, a number that existed only as a concept until the Middle Ages.

“Now what?”

Emilia asked in a calm tone. That’s what she said, but she was actually the one trembling with her most anxiety over her. Soon after she realized that grains of sand that had grown to a certain size could be removed, but that was no comfort to her.

Isn’t it a situation where you don’t even know what the grains of sand that were stuck to your body took? Whether it sucked blood or even sucked mana…….

I couldn’t do anything against an opponent who didn’t know what to do. Even more so, a swordsman who only wields a huge sword.

“…… Aderange, did you find the stairs?”
“Not yet-but… Considering the time it took, it would make sense that it was hidden somewhere.”
“I guess so. If this sand itself is a monster, now we are riding on the monster’s head.”

Now that I’ve found out that monsters can steal something just by touching them, I didn’t even think about doing anything to dig up the sand.

Similarly, no one could do anything about those tiny grains of sand. Right now, I wonder if those are real monsters…….

‘…… A real monster?’

Thinking so, Do-jin suddenly stood up and touched the floor. The grains of sand that touched his hands began to suck something out of him.

“Teacher!? What are you doing!”
“Wait for a moment.”
“Wait, what is that…… Why are you eating that!?”

Do-jin chewed a grain of sand that was large enough. Indeed, the taste and texture were the same as grains of sand. I was sure because I ate a lot of dirt and sand.

After confirming that the sand was certain, Do-jin spat out the grains of sand. It, already large enough, slipped contentedly among the grains of sand.

“Are you okay, master? I wonder if I’ve finally gone mad.”
“It’s okay. I just needed confirmation.”
“I’m really curious to see what he checked while picking up and eating the sand.”

Hearing Ade Lange’s sarcastic remarks of her, Dojin smiled at her and looked at her. She didn’t show it, but it was clear that she too was feeling frustrated by the situation.

If it was n’t for that, I would n’t use that kind of tone to my master- Do-jin wanted to unravel her inner feelings of her, and she confessed what she found out.

“Aderange, what do you think this muddy sand is?”
“Isn’t it a monster? An unidentified monster that inhabits the Demon Realm.”
“Does such a monster really exist?”
“…… What do you want to say?”

Dojin responded by snapping his fingers as if it was nothing.

“Living things have a meaning of existence. No creature exists without a reason. The same is true even if it is a creature of the demon realm. Did you see it from below?”

“…… I don’t know what you want to say.”

“So—these are not creatures.”

Saying that, Dojin pointed to the sand piled up on the floor. It was a natural story. Isn’t it sand, no matter where you look at it, it’s a creature—.

Ade Lange, who was about to say that, hesitated and recalled the thought she had just conveyed. Yes. These are sand not a creature Even so, it behaves like a creature.

It was a contradiction. And there are no contradictions in reality. If there is a contradiction, it means that something is wrong.

“…… Are you saying that these aren’t creatures, but magic controlled by something?”

“Yes- Just like the bat you summoned by Aderange isn’t a creature, this is magic controlled by someone.”

So it can just exist without any purpose – we don’t fight this sand, we have to fight the existence that creates this sand – Do-jin explained that.

After hearing Dojin’s explanation, the party fell into deep thought. I even found one problem.

“…… So, how do you find that someone?”
“Simple. I said I heard a voice.”
“Is it so?”
“It was. No one heard it, so I wondered if I had heard it wrong… It wasn’t.”

Puwook- Dojin’s feet dig deep into the sand. The grains of sand stick to the skin and extort Do-jin’s motivation. As time passed, Do-jin realized that he was losing his will to do anything.

A spell that makes people lazy. By doing so, Dojin was able to find out the identity of the existence that created this sand desert.

‘Sloth.’

Seven deadly sins like arrogance.
Seven Deadly Sins.
It was on this level.

Dungeon Spirit fell into great confusion. The reason was that the adventurers started a riot. Not all, but by no means few adventurers spontaneously created a disturbance at the same time.

Even the guards, who would normally have lightly stopped the disturbance, couldn’t deal with so many cases at the same time.

A major case that the guards alone could not handle – some vested interests saw this as an opportunity. The mage tower and guild were part of that vested interest.

“Therefore? Do you want us to help you?”

Seoyoon opened her mouth as she faced Raise who came to the mansion. Rize leisurely dipped into the car in front of him and explained why.

“Because it’s a strange thing to see.”
“So- it doesn’t seem to have much to do with us.”
“It must be Do-jin’s fault.”
“…… Any evidence?”
“Your maid told me. Magical power leaked from the dungeon.”

Magic that drove people crazy leaked from the dungeon. I can’t assume that this is Dojin’s fault, but…… The timing was tricky. Wasn’t it right after Do-jin entered the dungeon?

In a situation where the high-ranking people in the city knew that Do-jin was the owner and ruler of the dungeon, it was not very good for Do-jin’s reputation that the mana that drove people into madness leaked out the moment they entered the dungeon.

In fact, whether it was Do-jin’s fault or not, that’s the case. Even so, Do-jin was accused of heresy and whatnot. The church couldn’t do anything good.

“Eh…… Seriously, even in a place where you are not there, you make me suffer.”
“So, what are you going to do? Will you speak?”
“I have to. Do-jin is wrong? The husband’s fault should be covered by the wife.”

At this time, Rajee held out one of her staffs without saying a word without asking Dung’s question why Seoyoon was her wife her.

Looking at Seoyoon’s expression of her, as if asking what this was, Rajee calmly explained the identity of her cane her.

“A magic wand. We have to publicize it as something we took the initiative in, so transform into it and fight.”

“…… Could this be it? A dress full of lace?”

“Right. If you don’t like it, your wife can do nothing and just sit and watch.”

At the extremely provocative tone, Seoyoon picked up her magic wand while shaking her hand.

After a while, Seoyoon appeared in a cute dress that was humiliatingly cute.

She trembled her hands and howled the name of her Dojin.

“Kim Do-jin…… Just come back…….”
