Chapter 126.1. Botanical Garden Tour

It was an eerie dungeon. What was scary was the environment.

It was a very wide passage. It was probably 30 meters wide. It was unexpectedly wide. It was a place where enemies could deploy.

In the darkness, the light source created by Ninny illuminated the area, but there were ivy-covered walls and floors, bumpy bumps, and even small hills where the ivy was tangled.

The sun’s rays never fully reach the area, and because of the magical light sources to the contrary, the areas where light doesn’t reach are pitch black. Even with Miu’s game specification [Night Vision]. It’s impossible to tell.

The flowers, always in poisonous colors, are blowing out poisonous pollen as if they were blowing out gas. Ivy is wriggling in the dark, and the environment is too scary.

I don’t want to be here, even with full protective gear. I might get parasitic or something.

However, as far as I can see, the level is low, so I don’t have a problem with it. It’s a matter of mood. The reason I judged it low-level is simple.

[Received Paralyzing Poison I. But it didn’t work on Miu!]

That log gets displayed endlessly in the air.

Yes, it was very annoying. If it was a net game, I could set the log display to be disabled, but as expected, I couldn’t set it to that level for an offline game. That’s because net games output various logs endlessly.

The log is output at the rate of one line per minute. I’m going to minimize the screen.

I’ve determined that we’re walking through poisoned terrain. Everyone is walking with a stern look.

“Everyone, if you run out of mana, you’re finished. Both your mana and your anti-poison mana!”

“I understand. As soon as we find Mashiro’s brother, we will escape.

“Okay. But I have to leave the mana for the [Mirror Walk]…”

Ninny is at a loss to say what’s next. She seems to have a good grasp of the situation. It’s too dangerous to engage Gerz in battle, but he also thinks he can beat him. He seems to be considering the rate of mana depletion.

“Leave it to me! I’ll knock him down with a kon-kon.”

“It’s time to show the results of my practice.”

Yamiyo also seems to believe that Tamamo can win. Despite their young age, the three are strong as magicians. They would indeed be no match for any ordinary enemy.

The problem is that Gerðr is no ordinary enemy. One of the five members of Nidhogg Gerðr, the director of the Laughing Botanical Garden, has an uncool nickname, but his fighting ability is extremely high.

However, he doesn’t stop Yamiyo and the others because the event occurs much earlier than in the original story.

In the Night of Magic, this event occurred after Shin entered the school. In other words, it’s an event that can’t have occurred yet.

This nightmare botanical garden has grown up and become a vicious dungeon. However, now I can prevent its poison with only [Anti Poison Ring I]. The surrounding monsters are also weak.

It’s too early. In the game, even though it’s a boss that gets stronger as time goes by, it feels like I’m the first to attack it. Even the 6 heroes were small fry when they were first targeted.

The new botanical garden must have been freshly created, and they probably haven’t even obtained the Sacred Artifact that controls and strengthens plants, the lodestone tree Mistilteinn.

In this state, even the current Yamiyo should be able to escape, and they may be able to manage the depressing development.

We need to see what is going on with our own eyes. This is a story event, but it’s not the event as it was in the story.

“Everyone, it’s a monster!”

As I walk along thinking, Yamiyo’s sharp voice alerts me. Quickly regaining my composure, I readied my bow and took a battle stance, and as I checked my surroundings, I saw the monsters.

Walking from the shadows of the ivy, moving its roots in place of its legs, is a monster with petals that look like windmills. Many monsters followed behind it.

Hugin could analyze the monster that appeared one after another without any instruction. It’s a very good owl.

[Blade Flower: Level 18, Weakness fire]

The petals of the flower spin around like a windmill as it approaches. If you look closely, the petals are as hard as metal, and the tips of the flowers have turned into blades.

As they slithered out of the crevices between the swarming ivy, using the plant’s body, they gathered around, happy to have found their prey. There must be 30 of them.

[Blade Petals]

The blade flowers release their petals to Mi-chan and the others. The petals were detached with a snap and sent flying.

It was not a gentle attack that flew like a fluttering flower. It was extremely dangerous magic because it flew with great force like a boomerang, and the sides of the petals were sharp blades.

“Hah!”

[Darkness Sword 1st Style, Giant Skeleton Swords]

The black-haired beautiful girl raises her voice and pours mana around her jet-black sword. Skeletons cover the blade as it creates a frightening aura of darkness.

Yamiyo wields a 10-meter blade that she created. With a light movement that doesn’t feel heavy. She flipped away all the attacking petals.

Stepping hard into the ground, Yamiyo wraps her pigtails around her neck and cuts back with a strong look in her eyes.

[Giant Sword Shotgun]

The skulls covering the sword’s blade laugh and break apart to fly as scattered bullets. The dark projectile made up of countless skulls bites into the blade flower and devours it.

It’s a martial art that is bad for emotional education with a terrible effect. Somehow, I can’t sleep alone at night.

“Down there!”

At Tamamo’s warning, Yamiyo flies away from the spot. A root that has turned into a spear shoots out from its place, but it does not hit.

The ground rolls up, and the root spear chases after Yamiyo. Spinning her body around, with barely a glance, Yamiyo dodges all the attacks.

“Thorn Princess! Be careful! It turns its roots into spears and attacks!”

Ninny gently floats in the air and avoids the roots that attack her.
