Metis was surprised when Grim suddenly fainted. He is interested to know if the transmission of divine authority is that much of a load.

　At that moment, the entrance to the middle boss room became noisy.

Hey, what's going on?"

　Rough voices can be heard. Apparently, Artif and another adventurer are arguing.

Wait, you can't go in there.

"You're being too loud. The fact that the entrance is unblocked means that the battle is over. And that means the Japanese have won.

　Four adventurers entered the middle boss room.

"Whoa, a Japanese is down. Is it a tie?"

　An unknown adventurer ran up to check on Grim. Tamegoro stopped him.

What is it?　A demon?"

Those are Dr. Grimm's shadow puppets.

　Artif denied it.

Tsk, the Japanese are rich."

Dr. Grimm is just sleeping. There is nothing to worry about."

　Borrowing Elmore's mouth, Metis spoke.

Is this guy a shadow puppet, too? Hm?　Hey, something is glowing in the Japanese's hand.

　Another rickety adventurer tries to approach.

　Before he can do so, Elmore steps forward to stop him.

I would ask you to stay away."

Don't act like you're a puppet."

　Elmore took a geyborg from the storage ring and poked the ground with a thud with the stone stick on the other side of the spearhead. The local adventurers reacted with a start.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

　I watched Elmore and the local adventurers glare at each other.

　The moment I poured magic power into the "Pearl of Divine Authority," my consciousness or soul left my body. I became floating from my body.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

　In this state, information about the Divine Majesty flowed in and was imprinted on the soul, not the brain. It was only for a moment, but a vast amount of information was engraved into my soul, and I acquired a thing called Divine Authority. The "Pearl of Divine Authority" was not only knowledge, but also formed a gate in my soul that led to the source of divine authority.

　Divine authority, it turned out, was a different kind of being than magic. Divine authority was the first power that human beings had ever possessed, a power with a will that transcended dimensions.

　However, I still didn't understand about the Divine Mighty. I was looking around with my soul and body separated. I know how to get back to normal. Just jump into the body.

　But I had never experienced such a precious experience before, and I wanted to experience this state a little more. When I was looking at it with the naked eye, the walls of the dungeon looked like walls made of stone, but when I looked at it in its current state, I could see that it was lined with what looked like blood vessels.

　It was not a blood pathway, but more like some sort of channel of power and information. It was then that I noticed a great force approaching from below.

　Elmore and the adventurers were still arguing. Deciding it was too dangerous to continue, I jumped into my body.

　At that moment, I realized that I had returned to my original state. And the "Treasure Pearl of Divine Majesty" in his hand shattered into dust and spilled out of his hand.

Everybody back to the shadows. It's not safe here, get out of the middle boss's room!"

　I give the order and the shadow puppets immediately jump into the shadows. I then instruct Artif to translate.

　Artif tells the local adventurers to get out of the mid-boss room. The local adventurers foolishly retorted.

　We left the boss's room as quickly as possible. Artif gave me a look that said, "What's going on?

The real middleman is about to be resurrected."

'Eh, but wasn't the middle boss Needsheg?

There's a theory that it's the innkeepers. The theory is that the innkeepers are taking over the mid-boss room to keep the real mid-boss from coming back or to get rid of him."

　Artif turned his attention to the middle boss room. The local adventurers seemed to be searching for anything left. Artif shouted inside. I don't understand it because it was in Arabic, but I guess he was telling them to run because the middle boss was coming back.

　Artif tried to enter the middle boss room again, so I grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him back. Immediately after that, the middle boss room was sealed off. The middle boss must have started to come back.

What will become of them?"

　Artif asked, concerned about the guys inside.

'You either beat the midget and come back. Or die."

　I sit down on the ground to rest. Metis brought Elmore out of the shadows.

Shall I make you a cup of coffee?"

Please."

　Elmore starts preparing coffee. Artif turns to me.

I forgot." You beat Needsheg. Congratulations."

Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I achieved my goal. By the way, I have a question: How did those guys catch up to us?

　We were supposed to be half a day ahead of them because we used hover vehicles. And yet, it was too early to be here already.

　Artif makes a face that says, 'Speaking of which.

Perhaps he used the rumored loophole."

　It is said that there is a shortcut in the Xeil dungeon that only a few adventurers know about.

　I was sipping my coffee and thinking about the divine. Then all of a sudden, some local adventurers showed up. They seemed to have used an escape ball.

　Those adventurers began to shout angrily at us. I look at Artif.

What are these people talking about?"

He said he was attacked by a subspecies of salamander in the middle boss's room. If they knew, why didn't they tell us, they accuse us."

We warned them and they ignored us. Besides, if there were four C-class guys there, we should have taken them down."

　Artif glanced at the four of us.

I probably can't do it. I don't think he got to grade C in any sane way."

　It is said that the adventurers' guilds are also corrupt in Egypt.

　Hearing this made me angry. It triggered a force that seemed to be a divine power from deep within my body. It is a force of will that transcends everything and seeks to dominate the energy around it.

　The local adventurers, sensing this, shuddered. They looked at me with blue faces.

It's an eyesore. Get lost."

　I said it in Japanese, but the local adventurer ran away. When I asked Artif later, he said he felt as if my body had become huge and tremendous pressure had hit him.
