Chapter 256: That's why I'm in a hurry.

According to the report from Ts'doari, there are more than a dozen of them moving in. It seems that they are moving in three teams of three or four people. Considering the existence of demons lurking in the shadows, the number would probably be a bit higher, but the number was roughly as expected.
There is no sign of the Knight of Taze or the Holy Knight of Medis. They must have been sent to guard the perimeter in case we tried to escape. The more people we bring into a place with traps, the more likely it is that we will be rounded up. They will probably break through with a small group of people who can protect themselves.
I'm curious about the person hiding in the ...... robe. Is this a ...... countermeasure against me?
The people of Yugra expect that I will be able to change my response according to the situation. That's why they're withholding information from me so that I won't be aware of their team composition. Only T'Dwari has access to the information in the ruins. It's difficult to get accurate information when you have to analyze it based on that information.
However, it's not that difficult considering the compatibility with the people ahead of us.
The first team was led by Ecdysius, with the Blue Demon King and the robed figure behind him.
The second team is led by a robed figure, and behind him are four people: Wolfe, the Purple Demon King, and a robed figure.
The third team will be led by Harkdok, and behind him will be three robed figures, for a total of four.
The second team would be led by Mix. The second team is likely to be led by Mixu, as they have to go through a corridor where traps are waiting for them, and if they lie there, they will not be able to deal with the traps and take unnecessary risks.
Similarly, we will complete the identification of the rest of the people, taking into account their compatibility with the person who is showing up. Rakhra Sarv and Masetha Neuchith will surely be there. If there is a connection to the Blue Demon King, then it is highly likely that his demon tribe, the Neelryathes, are also included. The great demon Duvvleoris may be lurking in the shadows of the Purple Demon Lord at ...... right now.
I've decided that Morari and Jastet are not likely to be included. Those two will not betray me completely, but will act to protect themselves in the event that I am defeated. If I let them get in contact with Arcturial, they might ask for Arcturial's help on the spot. Those two would have been brought to Serende, but they would be waiting outside the ruins. And when they defeat me, they will use the communication crystal to summon me and keep me away from this place.
"...... This is it. I guess they want to pit the third team against me.
I can roughly guess the composition of the first and second teams. But the third team is the only one that exposes its true face to the public, and it has eliminated as many elements as possible to make you think. If there's an unexpected irregularity, it's probably there.
By restricting the upper level route to the Tudori, he can lead those who are divided into three groups to the middle level route of their choice. The people of Yugra have decided on this formation with all of this in mind. Moreover, by remaining beside Arkreal himself, he is even appealing for 'no further changes'.
If that man were to join any of the teams, Raheit and Ceraes would be too much for him. I was going to face him directly, but this lineup was unexpected.
My reading was that they would come in with a two-man team of Ilias and Wolfe, or perhaps one or two others. It wouldn't be so difficult to make them miss their readings. But that's just throwing away a chance to win.
What I read was a winning strategy for the people of Yugra's planet. I don't even need to read that they will only lose. This formation is just a pattern that once popped into my head, but I eliminated it from my thoughts because it was 'unwinnable'.
It is true that if the man remains above ground, there is a way to stall Arclial for a sufficient amount of time. But that would mean that he would not be involved in all the uncertainties that await him underground. Of course, he should have understood the consequences of that.
"There's no point in worrying about it. We just need to do what we do best.
The first thing to do is to hurry up and identify those who are hiding and get a complete grasp of their pawns. Then, even if the people of Yugra have a plan that surpasses mine, I should be able to recognize it and respond to it.
Even the use of a strategy to upset the war situation requires a premise. Even if I were able to carry out an unconventional plan that defied my expectations, the subsequent development would be stifled if I was ostensibly hit hard. There may be an attempt to catch me off guard, but what those who like to play this kind of trick hate the most is to stick to a set routine. Never let your opponent take the lead.
I'm sorry.
There are too many traps in the underground ruins.
There were various traps everywhere in the underground ruins. All of them are cleverly hidden, and some of them are only noticed after they have been triggered. I had heard that the talent of the bastard known as Ts'doari, who is skilled at concealment, has some influence on the skill of setting traps.
"As much as possible, consciously follow the foothold I've taken. Keep your stride as narrow as possible.
"You can't do that on mud!
I can. It's leaving a faint footprint of my magic. You can see it if you're a little conscious.
There are many kinds of traps. Some are made of strings, while others are triggered by contact with the wall or ground. Some are detectable by magic, some are not, some are difficult to detect even if they are, and the mind and consciousness cannot get used to the many differences.
I'm not sure what to do. Slow down a little ......!
"Ecdysiac, Lakra is late!
The one in the hall is Lakra, who is hiding behind a robe. It's not a lord, it's pure delay. Lakra is not good at doing more than one thing at a time. It must be quite a burden for her to keep her robes from revealing her true face, while at the same time keeping an eye out for enemies and traps. But that doesn't mean I can't afford to stop. Even as we speak, the resuscitation spell is being perfected. We have to hurry as much as possible.
"Don't worry about the trap, Lakra. Just run along the tracks I've set!
"But--
"As long as you don't trigger the trap, I can take care of everything else. Don't worry, I'll protect you!
Yes, yes! But you should tell that to Ao instead of me!
You have a lot of time on your hands, don't you?
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. If that's true, then it's not surprising that he could take advantage of a gap in our consciousness at any moment.
Basically, they are mainly traps, and occasionally people who seem to be followers of Raitis attack us. They don't attack us head-on, but rather when the traps are triggered. However, they are not as troublesome as the bastards, and our strength is sufficient to deal with them.
In the meantime, I avoided the spear that was thrust from the ground, and at the same time, I counterattacked the believer who attacked me from above.
But the timing is perfect.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
However, you must avoid counterattacking without assessing their strength and judging them as small fry. If you try to act like that, Rytal will surely hit you with a strong one at that time.
"Right. But it won't be a problem for Exduk, will it? I'm even using my detection magic to look for where we're going and what's behind us each time, while concentrating on sight, hearing, smell, and magic perception.
I'm having a hard time with the detection magic, though.
I'm sure there are some magic seal stones embedded in the corridors of the ruins. In the event you're a follower of Raitis, you might want to launch a surprise attack, but it won't do you any good if your location is known by detection magic.
Therefore, the magic seal is embedded in the wall at the corner, and most of the detection magic before the turn has been canceled. Fortunately, the timing of the spell has only been used twice so far, and it has been successfully avoided.
I'm worried about the rest of the team. ......
I'm sure they'll be fine. Mixu is familiar with traps, and Harkdock has the instinct of a bastard. Most traps don't even make sense to Wolfe or Duvraeori.
For Ritual, this upper level trap should be just another way to buy time. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. That's why we need to get to the middle level in the shortest time possible while keeping Lakra hidden.
"Well, I'm most worried about the two people I left on the ground. I'm not sure what to make of it. Can they handle it?
While we were fighting in Trinh, Ilias was continuing to hone his swordsmanship. But no matter how much his skill improved, he would never be able to eliminate the gap between him and Arcturial. If Ilias had been left alone, even I would have been worried. But now Ilias has his own people by his side, and they're willing.
"If the two of them can't stop it, then there's nothing anyone can do to stop Ark Real. That's it.
You want me to run when I have time to worry. I get it.
The sooner we stop Nektohar's research and get back to our people, the better. Let's hurry.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
