I love time travel the most!

"We already know why the monsters are wandering around, but what's behind this wall?"

Although the question was directed at Asphie, everyone's eyes were on Kobayashi. They hadn't known each other for long, but the other's eyes had already won their approval.

Unfortunately, I don't know either.

Kobayashi shrugged.

Even with his "omnipotent vision," there are limits. He couldn't see clearly the complex, monochromatic vegetation corridor hundreds of meters deep.

Such an answer naturally made everyone uneasy.

This is the drawback of relying too much on them; once the main player can't exert their full strength, the rest of the people are like headless flies.

No, they also have a regimental commander.

"Asphi..."

"...We have no choice but to move forward."

Seeing Lulune hesitate, Asifi sighed.

She clearly noticed that the members of the clan were hesitant in this situation, which caused their abilities to decline considerably.

In the center of the green wall, there is a petal-shaped door.

Or rather, an organ similar to the mouth.

The door is large enough that even a level 2 baby dragon can easily pass through it.

If this were an entrance or exit, perhaps they would open their mouths, but it seems they are being turned away as intruders.

"It seems the only option is to destroy it."

"Should we cut it?"

The Fiora made a gesture as if to draw her slender sword from her waist.

She looks like a well-behaved girl, but her words are quite extreme, showing the characteristics of a naturally naive girl.

"No. I want information. Let's try magic instead."

Asphi refused Ais and instead ordered a dwarf mage named Melie to use magic.

A petite girl, whose height barely reached Kobayashi's waist and whose presence would trigger an alarm if touched, stepped forward, raised the metal staff used by dwarfs, and began chanting a spell.

As she swayed, the magic hat on her head also swayed back and forth.

A fiery red magic circle unfolded, from which a giant fireball shot out.

The impact on the green flesh wall caused a deafening roar and shockwave, and the flesh wall burst into flames. At the same time, there were chaotic burning sounds like screams and the smell of burning, and the part that was the entrance was completely burned.

"Xiaolin, thank you for your help."

"receive."

As before, Kobayashi, who had excellent reconnaissance skills, led the charge.

The crowd lined up and walked in.

But as everyone walked in, the fleshy wall behind them began to repair itself, and was completely healed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the wall of flesh seemed to be deliberately leading them into a trap, Lulune and the members of her clan all shut their mouths, and the tense atmosphere returned.

"Just blow up a hole when we get back."

To prevent morale from dropping, Asifi encouraged everyone, and they immediately regained their composure.

Upon arriving here, I was dazzled by the surrounding scenery. The entire interior had turned green—the walls, the ceiling, even the floor—creating the illusion of entering a living organism.

Everyone was visibly nervous.

No wonder Kobayashi, who has excellent eyesight, said that he was hindered. The better a person's eyesight, the greater the impact. And to be able to see hundreds of meters away in such a complicated place is already quite amazing.

"Watch your step, it's time to go."

After giving a brief instruction, Kobayashi led the way.

The mysterious green wall space that suddenly appeared in the underground city was a true anomaly. The unknown territory naturally made everyone proceed with caution.

"Speaking of which, if these swollen tumors are all monsters..."

"Hey!"

"enough!"

"Stop talking!"

It seems the Hermes family members had had enough of Lulune's jinxed words and launched a barrage of criticism, not giving her a chance to finish.

Thanks to this, the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Kobayashi did not join them.

Everyone else could relax, but he, who was responsible for checking the safety of the surroundings, could not; he even had to continue to concentrate intensely.

The light source in this area comes from the walls, vines, and withered flowers that have given birth to newborns.

The flowers are colorful and adorn the entire space.

But it's uncomfortable.

Kobayashi, who is sensitive to sight, felt that someone was watching them through the flowers. Moreover, Ais, the swordswoman at the back of the group, seemed to have noticed as well.

After walking for a few minutes in the dimly lit, dark passage, Kobayashi stopped, facing four paths: front, left, right, and above.

"It's a fork in the road."

"Xiao Lin."

"No problem, just follow my lead."

With his "All-Seeing Eyes" ability, Kobayashi is the strongest dungeon explorer, and these side paths are no problem for him at all.

Without much hesitation, they found the direction to move forward.

We walked inwards.

They encountered no monsters in the green maze, and it was eerily quiet. The only sounds were the increasingly heavy breathing and heartbeats of the people around them, a result of the oppressive atmosphere.

What's truly terrifying in horror movies isn't the scary music and explosions, but the maddening silence.

Just as everyone began to feel a chill run down their spines, they discovered unnaturally scattered dust in the middle of the cleared passage, along with the remains of wild animals buried beneath it.

"Monster?"

"They were probably caught up in it."

"But what killed him?"

Clearly, this place is not safe.

From this point on, the atmosphere became tense, and everyone, including Kobayashi and Ais, quietly drew their weapons and remained on guard around them.

Because the big one is coming!

"--above!"

Xiao Lin shouted.

Asifi and the others shuddered and looked up.

Guided by the loud voice, they saw several long, thin bodies wriggling in the shadows.

On the ceiling, tiny monsters crawled, dripping slime from colorful petals and opening their mouths full of sharp teeth.

A large group of carnivorous plants suddenly fell from the ceiling.

Just like the monsters we encountered at the festival!

Ais's eyes narrowed.

"Hooohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo——————!"

The giant carnivorous plant roared like a broken gong as it relentlessly approached the adventurers below.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

Asphi shouted orders, and after dodging the descending giant beasts, they waited to engage the enemy.

"Its magic stone is in its mouth!"

Kobayashi, who had combat experience, immediately told them the monster's weaknesses.

Upon hearing the method of victory, Asphie stared at the man-eating flower's chin, used her special cloak to deflect the whip lashing from above, and took out a small bottle filled with red liquid from the leather watch on her belt.

With a flick of his wrist, the small bottle was immediately thrown into the cavity of the carnivorous plant.

Then explode!

"Gaa!"

The screams of the man-eating flower in its mouth were forced to stop, and the magic stone turned to dust immediately after being destroyed.

With Asphie taking the lead, the members of the clan were also encouraged and switched from defense to offense to begin clearing out the giant man-eating flower.

Kobayashi apologized after witnessing their battle.

Despite their individual lack of strength, their teamwork was excellent, maintaining a perfect formation from start to finish.

The well-organized battle was highly entertaining to watch.

However, due to the limited space, some characters seemed unable to unleash their full potential.

Just as the giant man-eating flower's whip was about to strike the dwarf mage Melly, the swordswoman Ais instantly appeared beside her and saved her.

But because she was unsteady on her feet, she was also sent flying.

Fortunately, he managed to parry with his rapier in time and was not injured, but this also put him at a distance from the others.

suddenly!

A green wall of flesh appeared, moving incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was positioned horizontally between the two sides.

"Fiora!"

"Oh no, we've been separated!"

As if it had been premeditated, the Sword Maiden Ais was left on the other side.
