When I picked up the magic stone, I found it to bea black magic stone . In other words, it was a demon of the same class as the Minotaur General. However, it is not possible to accurately evaluate the strength of a demon by the type of magic stone. However, it seems that a higher class of the same race can accurately show the difference, so it is not considered to be a minotaur lord.

'Find the drops fast and get back on the ground.

　Metis seems to be concerned about time. Come to think of it, we are running out of time until the time limit of four hours.

　Komugi helped me look for a drop or a treasure chest. Then, they found a sword stuck in the wall. The sword looked vaguely familiar. He pulled it out from the wall to check it out, and found that it was similar to the Durandal that Saijo had.

　I checked it with an appraisal monocle and it turned out to be a Durandal.

'So it was Mr. Saijo who fought here. You must have escaped with the escape ball because there were no bodies."

'That's strange. I think Saijo-san, with a sword as powerful as Durandal's, could have defeated that minotaur giant.'

He may have had a trump card, but he couldn't play it because of a mishap. But I guess he couldn't pull it out due to an accident."

'A tragic accident?　You could say that.

I have no choice. I'll take it with me."

　I put the durandal away in the storage armlet.

　Then he searched every nook and cranny of the room and found the "fruit of the tree of life. This is one of the ingredients for making the elixir of life. If it were auctioned off, the price would be about 1.5 billion yen.

Now we have enough money to establish a batallion.

Oh, it's worth it to participate in the raid battle.

counter for occurrences

had."

　I was mentally and physically exhausted. Without checking another room, I headed out of the fortress. Outside the fortress, some adventurers are sitting in the meadow.

　He must have been drained of magic power and went outside. I looked around and saw Nagase and Saijo. Saijo seems to be wounded and is lying on the grass.

Is Saijo-san okay?"

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

　I asked Nagase.

When I came out of my room on the third floor, I could have carried him because he was lying outside, but he's probably going to be okay."

　It seems that he is only sleeping because he was given an intermediate level healing magic potion. When an intermediate level healing potion is given to a person, he or she may feel extremely sleepy and sleep as if he or she had fainted. It is said that this happens when the brain receives a shock, and Saijo's condition is said to be like that.

　Nagase looked at his watch and walked toward the fortress. Four hours had passed, and he would signal the end with a resonating bullet. A little later, a tinkling sound like a half-jingle rang out.

　As if on cue, the adventurers began to return, and after about 30 minutes, they all returned. It seemed that no one had died in this raid battle.

　Goto and the others have returned and are talking among the team with smiling faces.

Sounds like you had a good haul."

　I spoke to Goto.

'Yeah, we wiped out a bunch of minotaurs and found a treasure chest.'

　He did not tell me what was in the treasure chest, but I could tell from the look on his face that he had gotten quite a treasure.

Grimm, I think you found a treasure, too."

Yes, I found the treasure chest after defeating the minotaur general.

You're doing great."

　While we were talking about this, Nagase raised his voice. It was a declaration that the raid battle was over. Hearing this, the adventurers began to head back toward the ground.

　I was about to leave, too, when Nagase stopped me.

I'm sorry, but I need you to carry Saijo for me. I hear there's some useful life magic in there."

　It's a good opportunity to spread the word that life magic can be useful, and we could say that we were friends who fought together in this raid battle. I agreed and activated the "Float Box" magic. Seeing this, I nodded as Goto and the others offered me a ride.

　The boat can accommodate six passengers, which is fine, but it is cramped with six people in it. I climbed to five meters and flew to the stairs, passing the adventurers who had departed before me.

　After dropping everyone off in front of the stairway entrance, we now decided to use the D-particle wing to carry Saijo by strapping him to a stretcher.

I'm like, "Wow, I didn't know you could use it that way. That's very convenient."

　Goto says impressed. Saijo has my thermal cloak on him, so the temperature change should be fine.

　We parted ways with Goto and the others and carried Saijo to the eighth and seventh layers using the D-particle wing, and considered what to do in the sixth layer, the undead area where the D-particle wing could not be used.

　We had no choice but to carry Saijo with the D-particle wing while Tamegoro and I protected him. The approaching undead were disposed of by reaping them with the light sword Claw.

'I wonder if we'll ever be able to fly in undead areas.'

'I think that would require something like a barrier of holy attributes.

"Holy attribute barrier or ...... wait a minute, you need a barrier?"

What do you mean?"

No, I just thought it would be nice to have some holy clothes."

'I see. I see.'

　I will teach these things to those who become members of Battalion.

　This time we had no choice, so Tamegoro and I broke through the undead area while protecting Saijo and went up to the fifth layer, then moved from the transfer room to the first layer and returned to the ground.

　On the ground, the Adventurers' Guild officials were waiting for us. I leave Saijo in the hands of the guild official. At this time, I retrieve the thermal cloak and hand Durandal to the guild official. Then I headed for the Adventurers' Guild. Here, the branch manager was waiting for me.

　I was led to the branch manager's office and explained what had happened at the fortress. The branch manager nodded and listened with interest.

"Wow, you beat the Minotaur Monk, the General, and the higher species in a row. That's great."

　Branch Manager Kondo was interested in the "Dodge Armor" that the Minotaur General was equipped with.

'That's a nasty one. May I ask how you beat it?"

It's a way to combine defensive magic, such as "Protect Shield," with magic that causes an explosion or other effect when it hits an enemy."

I see," he said, "you have achieved a method of attack like an anti-aircraft shell with a close proximity fuse by combining two types of magic. That's a good idea."

If it weren't for the five-year rule, I would have kept it a secret."

The rule is to protect the lives of adventurers. Please bear with me there."
