Magica Technica Chapter 165

The switch that was installed near the wall when I entered the last room.

I pushed it for the time being because there was no other clue, and at the same time as there was a metallic sound in the next room, four lesser demons appeared in the room.

For the time being, I slashed them all at once and eliminated the attacking demons, but ... I couldn't feel any sign until they appeared, so I forced them to appear. It's probably a type of trap.

"... I didn't see anything in 《Detection》 right now. I wonder if my skill level was low?"

"But there are quite a few levels of Alice's" detection ", right? That means you couldn't detect it--"

"There are also unavoidable types of traps." There is also a probability that there is. Anyway, if only the enemy appears, it is enough to get rid of it. "

While following Alice who seems to feel a little responsibility, Get out of the room.

I went around all the rooms, but I haven't found any stairs so far.

You should think that there is a way to raise something with the sound you heard earlier.

I don't want to think that there is no way to go upstairs.

Thinking so, when I returned to the first room where I couldn't find anything--

"... Ladder? This time? Do you want to climb this way? "

" I don't like it? "

" I don't like the ladder because my hands are blocked.

Well, you can climb with one hand, but it's still difficult to fight.

While pulling out a small katana with my left hand, I sighed and touched the ladder.

"I will climb first. I will call you when I secure the top"

"I should go first If there is a trap suddenly, it will be difficult to deal with it. "

" I can deal with it. Besides, you're a skirt.>

By the way, I've seen people who are rubbing with the same content a long time ago.

It was said that the member who was underneath while descending on the rope was looking up at the female member who was on the way down, but at that time it was completely armed rather than a skirt. I shouldn't have seen anything because of it.

Well, no one helped me because I couldn't defend when I was looking up without warning of the surroundings right after the descent.

Alice unexpectedly opens her eyes to my words. You probably didn't think I would care about that.

Alice staring at me with a stern look for a while, was a little out of touch and nodded.

"Fufu, then please"

"Aiyo ... and Scarlet"

" This is a caution, you know. "

As soon as you climb up, there is not always a surprise attack from below. You should never be alert to the people below.

For the time being, run up the ladder while returning Ceylan to the demon crystal.

As expected, it would be impossible for the hole through the ladder to pass through with a giant Ceylan.

Besides, if you go up and release it immediately, you can borrow the power of Ceylan as a force.

I ran up the ladder with only one hand, jumped on the floor upstairs, and checked the surroundings.

The appearance of the room is a small room that is not so different from the lower floor.

Speaking of conspicuous elements, the stone statue placed on the wall side of the room-

"chi"

Involuntarily hit the tongue in the hole in the belly of the stone statue and shake the blade.

The flash accurately repelled the instant crossbow blow.

It's a murderous gimmick, but--

"Ceylan!"

" ”

Ceylan, who jumped out of the demon crystal, flaps his wings and charges.

It's not a large room originally, but you can reach it in an instant if you are quick with Ceylan. And the rigid arm that was swung down easily shattered the installed stone statue.

There is no sign that another trap will be activated, and there is no sign that an enemy will appear at the same time. It seems calm for the time being.

"Teacher, a real man?"

"No problem, you can come up"

When you call downstairs, Hishin and Alice start climbing the ladder in order.

Lumina was flying in the sky and protecting their backs.

Eventually everyone reached the second level and we stepped out of the room.

The first thing I saw there was a space separated by a huge iron grid and a staircase extending along the wall on the other side.

"Is it an iron grid ... there is no door"

"It looks like it will open up"

"I wonder if there is a switch to open it"

While muttering, Alice goes to the door on this side partitioned by the iron grid. I turn my gaze.

If all goes well, there may be a mechanism to raise the bar-one, would you like to try it?

When I thought of it, I stood in front of the iron grid while watching the surroundings, and pulled out the blade.

Hold it in the upper row and swing it down with a flash of full power. The blow-hits the iron grid and is repelled.

There wasn't even a slight scratch on it.

"Nu ... No, I should be able to cut it at this level"

"Maybe it's set so that it can't be destroyed." It's an object, that's it. "

" Is it possible to cut iron or something? "

" This thickness Then it's not that difficult ... but if it doesn't even hurt, it's impossible to break it. "

It is possible to cut it off depending on the reason.

However, if that is not possible, there is no help for it, so let's try to capture it normally.

But--

"This iron grid seems to pop out upstairs if you raise it"

"Oh, that might be"

"So what do you need to do after climbing up? For what? The gimmick is ...? "

" Probably to cut off the retreat. Then, is there some kind of attack on the above?

If you lower the iron grid to go up the road, the iron grid on this floor will be blocked.

If you choose to withdraw there, you will be blocked by the iron grid here.

If you have time to open it slowly, it can be fatal in a busy situation.

Anyway, there is no change in moving forward. For the time being, let's look inside the room.

* * * * *

Go ahead while hesitating the switches and traps hidden in the room.

The fishing ceiling after the door of the room was closed was highly murderous, but I got nothing by destroying the door and jumping out.

I knew that the trap would be triggered, so I would have been fortunate to have devised countermeasures in advance.

"I feel like it's more difficult than the previous Tower of Holy Fire."

"I don't hesitate to trap." I mean, you're coming to kill me. "

After the iron grid goes up, move the lever near the stairs to return the iron grid and sigh.

The fishing ceiling wasn't fashionable. I had confirmed in advance that the door was destructible, but there is a probability that it was dead if I was not good at it.

Traps that have to be activated are rather troublesome.

"Now, on the next floor ... be careful because enemies may come out."

"I blocked the escape Isn't it the story of the battle above? Then, of course, strong enemies will come out. "

" It's the stage of probability, but it's not an impossible story. "

"Then, it's better for the teacher to come out in front? Alice shouldn't stand out."

"Sure. What should I do, Alice?"

"I wonder if I should ask. I'll use" covert "." It's not that Alice can't fight head-on, but it's true that her abilities limit her.

If possible, it is better to have a situation where Alice is not attracting attention at first.

For the time being, "Detection" will be done, but it's better not to come forward.

Alice immediately used 《Secret》 and moved to hide behind Ceylan.

From that position, you can always make a surprise attack.

Looking sideways at Alice, she moves upstairs while being cautious of the stairs.

This floor has more space than before, and the ease of movement is different than before.

However, it also means that the enemy is easy to move.

"... I think I'll come, teacher"

"Well, if I don't come, I'll miss the beat"

I smile a little at the words of Hishin approaching next to me.

Well, how will it come? As long as the enemy comes, it will be kicked off, but due to the nature of this tower, it will not attack normally.

If it's an elaborate attack, it's welcome. Until I crush it head-on.

While muttering in my heart, I passed the center of the room with Scarlet-that moment, suddenly an iron grid suddenly rose from the floor behind us.

"―――― !?"

"Divided, did you come!"

Me and Hishin, and Alice and Tam Monsters.

We were divided into two with an iron grid in between.

I thought this iron grid was for blocking the retreat, but was this a use!

While striking the tongue, pull out the blade and turn your gaze forward again.

What emerged from the surroundings was a large number of demons that filled the square.

Not only lesser demons, but also demon chimeras and evil flame ghosts exist.

――I see, this is certainly annoying.

"Hishin, do you follow me?"

"No, I'll do something about it"

If you glance at the back, the devils are also appearing in the Luminas.

But there are fewer than here. They break through the enemy, go downstairs, release the iron grid and come back to our support-mostly that's the trick.

That's not bad, but ... Oh, it's a disadvantageous situation, so I have to entertain you.

"Lumina, don't worry about this, I'll leave it to you"

"Hmm ... yes, dad!"

I think I want to rush here, but first I have to get rid of that enemy.

By the way, I thought it was a dead rubber match, but it seems to be enjoyable as it is.

Therefore, I smile and tell the devils in front of me.

"Come on, let's slash and throw it away"
