Episode 96

The information that Spider and Leona dug up through their interrogation wasn’t all that different from what I had dug up.

That the prophets aren’t on good terms with each other, that the fortress of bones is involved, etc.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there was only overlapping information.

“There are those who don’t follow the prophets?”

“Right, it seems like most of the people helping the players are those guys?”

It is said that there are indigenous people of this world, although a small number, who do not follow the prophets.

Leona said that it was certain that we were their puppets.

‘I wonder if those guys can be of any use.’

My plan is to start a war among those guys and take advantage of the chaos to kill the prophets.

According to Leona, their forces are too small to be of much help.

Of course, it’s better than nothing, so it can’t hurt to keep thinking about the possibility of using it.

[Commander, how about blaming the second prophet for killing these guys instead of the third?]

Meanwhile, a spider suggests that we use these guys I killed as a fuse for war.

It wasn’t a bad idea, but I shouldn’t have pulled the trigger so hastily since I didn’t know the guys’ true circumstances yet.

If you’re not careful, you might get caught by the Bone Fortress guys.

[… … Then what do we do with these guys? They say that their disappearance will be known soon enough. Can we come up with a perfect plan by then?]

“So we have to move quickly.”

According to Leona and Spider’s information, it will take about two days for the guys to return to their original village.

Considering the time the guys moved and other circumstances, the time given to us was approximately three days.

If it takes any longer than that, their disappearance will soon be reported by those who notice something suspicious, and if things aren’t already moving forward by then, things will take a strange turn.

[Don’t worry about that, Father.]

But as if to put an end to my worries, Dracolich looked at me with his chest puffed out and a confident expression.

“Did you get any good information, Dracolich?”

[I got a lot of the inside story of the guys my father wanted, if not all of it!]

At those words, Spider and Leona gaped at Spider in disbelief.

[… … How did you get it? The soldiers you had were probably no different from us… … .]

“That’s right, even if you use interrogation magic, there will be limits…….”

Dracolich smiled as if embarrassed by the attention, but soon began to list the information with his smile gone.

There was so much information that it was understandable why he was so confident.

“The guys I don’t get along with the best are the second and third ones.”

Who among the prophets is the least on good terms with them, how far the Bone Fortress guys are currently interfering with them, and where their base is, etc.

Although there was a lot of information, there was one piece of information about Dracolich that caught my attention.

[… … It seems like there is a guy on this floor who has the same existence as me.]

Another Dracolich.

As soon as I heard that, Spider and Leona were shocked again, and I quietly thought about it for a moment before reaching for my inventory.

Clang.

What was taken out of my hand were a few sheets of paper that were not very thick.

As I flipped through the paper, I was soon able to confirm the name of the guy I was assuming to be him at the beginning of the last paper.

“I am a dragon trainer.”

Since he was on the list of killers that Bella had given him, it meant that he was an irreplaceable force for the Bone Fortress.

The part the guy is carrying in his bone fortress is in charge of aerial firepower.

As befitting his name, his role was to create undead not only dragons, but also many species that had wings and could fly, and attack them from the sky during battle.

[Are you trying to kill that guy?]

But if you were to ask if he was going to kill the guy now, as the spider said, then absolutely not.

“Our top priority is to get to the 25th floor without being noticed by the guys. It won’t be too late to kill the guy after that.”

You’re trying to kill the prophets as secretly as possible and let them know as late as possible, but then you kill their irreplaceable force?

As soon as they realize I’m on the 20th floor, they’ll give up their defense and try to move the treasure from the 25th floor.

“Anyway, if you just reach the second level, you can kill half of the guys here right away. Rather than doing something useless, just focus on the 25th floor.”

[… … Okay, I understand.]

As the true spider became quiet, the Dracolich who had asked for this information spoke.

[The fact that they were spilling all that information to me was largely due to me mistaking them for one of the guys he was dealing with. I guess they’re still staying on this floor.]

“That’s right.”

For now, it would be better if the Bone Fortress guys at least stayed out of the war between the prophets.

Because I’d rather eliminate any chance of them staying behind and finding me.

[I don’t know who you are… … but I’m curious because I think you’re of the same species.]

Meanwhile, the Dracolich muttered something like this, as if he was curious about other Dracolichs like himself.

[… … Arthur. As you can see, that necromancer guy will scold you for even thinking that.]

Of course, the spider muttered pitifully through my mouth towards that Dracolich… … but this time, my opinion was similar to that of the Dracolich.

“We need to find out if that guy is an undead dragon or a dracolich. We need to figure out his power so we can devise a plan to divert their attention.”

Probably because the guy’s power is so great, he’s practically the leader of the bone fortress guys on this floor.

It would take a lot of effort to catch that guy’s attention.

‘Should I make you think I’m back?’

Of course, if I did that, the guy would come towards me naked, but the problem is that if there was even the slightest trace of me actually coming back, the guy would definitely figure out that I really came back.

So, what I needed was an incident that was big enough to make them think I was back, but also have to have clear evidence in their eyes that I wasn’t back.

[… … That plan, is it possible to use those guys?]

In the meantime, the spider muttered as if a good idea had occurred to him.

“Those guys? Who are you talking about?”

[I’m talking about the people of this world who don’t follow the prophet. Anyway, isn’t the goal to defeat the prophets, whether they or us? Then we can cooperate and it wouldn’t be bad.]

“Hoo.”

I was wondering how to use it, and it seems like it could be used like that.

But the problem is, I don’t know where those guys are.

At that moment, Mephet, who had been listening to our story, came to me with her ears twitching above her half-folded head and said.

“Ke… Keheng… There are people I know.”

At those words, my gaze, that of Spider, and Leona all turned to her.

She was a little nervous about the sudden attention, but soon began to explain in detail.

“When we first came here, we were lucky enough to be able to contact them and cooperate with them… I know some of them, so we can cooperate… but there’s a problem.”

She looked around with a trembling expression and spoke in a slightly creepy voice.

“I don’t know where they are now, but the technology to erase their tracks in order to avoid being noticed by the prophets has been developed tremendously… It’ll take too long to find them….”

Her anticipation quickly cooled when she heard that she didn’t know the most important position, but she continued talking as if desperately trying to prove her necessity.

“That… Still! Do you know where they stayed? If we go there, wouldn’t there be some clues?”

[Didn’t you say earlier that the technology to erase traces with your mouth has developed tremendously?]

The spider muttered to Mephet as if it was disgusting, but since it was not a lie, Mephet quickly became discouraged and sullen.

Of course, the guy’s feelings didn’t matter to me, but I couldn’t just stay that way since I had a clue.

“Lead them to where their tracks were. We’ll find the tracks ourselves.”

“W, how dare you. There really won’t be a speck of dust left…….”

Mephet said the same thing to me, perhaps because he thought I was wasting my time.

“I clearly said that if you were going to get in my way, I would kill you.”

As I took a step forward with a request mixed with threats, she was startled, straightened her ears up toward the sky, and quickly ran off somewhere.

“Hey, this way, Keheng! Follow me!”

While we were wondering whether we should call her amazing or foolish as she guided us while running away, our footsteps soon began to follow her.

The forest that had been hiding our figure until now gradually became thinner, and after going over a few hills and pushing through pathless bushes, we finally arrived at the place.

“Right here!”

It was a corner of the forest where the grass was a little less dense and there was no trace of anything having been built there before.

A place where there was nothing left, so much so that if she hadn’t told me the circumstances, I would have thought she was just joking.

[… … There are no noticeable traces. It looks like they’ve cleaned up any footprints or marks left by someone passing through the grass.]

[Let’s try using detection magic.]

Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re going to give up.

The spider immediately opened several of the magic eyes on its body, and the dracolich began to cast spells related to detection.

And I started stretching out my legs on the ground to check if there was anything around me.

Since I had just summoned the undead, I didn’t expect anything to go wrong since there wasn’t much damage.

“……There isn’t any.”

When I actually couldn’t detect anything, I couldn’t help but stick out my tongue.

I was worried that someone might be hiding nearby, but I really thought there was nothing.

[All that is detected in the eyes of the demon are insects and flying creatures. If they are not this guy’s relatives, then there is not a single human being.]

[Even detection magic won’t catch it… … I’m sorry, Father.]

And then came news of the failed quests of the spiders and dracolichs that followed me.

Looking at that sight, Mephet muttered that he knew it.

“……It’d be hard to find them even with magic, they even have magic that prevents detection……”

But amidst the muttering, I heard something I couldn’t miss.

“A magic that prevents detection?”

“Keheng, are you even thinking of doing a reverse investigation? Give up, that’s closer to a miracle than magic…….”

I immediately lit a white flame in my left hand, leaving Mephet behind, who was predicting my failure without even looking.

Hurrruk!

And asked the spider.

“I ask you with the eyes of slowness.”

[Huh? Not the Eye of Acceleration?]

The spider was puzzled, but it was best to follow the flames slowly, as if the white flames were sweeping past too quickly, our eyes might miss them.

The white flame, imbued with the spider’s magic eye, slowly moved into the air like a flower.

Whoosh whoosh… … .

I moved my feet, watching the flames, which had spread slowly and like a painting, continue to move in some direction.

“let’s go.”

“K, keheng!? Huh, how!?”

Of course, Mephet was surprised to see that sight, but I paid no attention and just followed the flames.

And finally.

“……Hoo.”

As the flames suddenly stopped, a village came into view.

It’s a small village hidden in the forest, completely green.
