Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core

On that day, by the efforts of the preachers of the Yalta religion, the evil spirits who were wreaking havoc on the village were cast out, and the devil struck the village, which was returning to its peaceful days.

And that was the beginning of a new horror (laughs).

"... what is it?"

On that day, the villagers of Bezin village were noticed something like a "voice" coming from a distance.

Those who were outdoors also reached the ears of those who were indoors rather than Susu... It sounded like the howling of a beast or the moaning of somebody. Yi (no) also raised the anxiety of the villagers above.

"... hey... this is..."

"Ahh... you can hear it from the [mountain]..."

………………

Sometimes what they call a "mountain" refers to the mountain itself, which is turning into a bald mountain after cutting too many trees... In this case, in addition to that, it also means the settlement ruins of the plantations that were tragically wiped out.

The ruins of a village that has been avoided as an ominous place due to its history, and it was not until about three months ago that something like a ball of fire emitting light was seen in the urn.

Although there was no actual damage in the village, the preachers who told the name of Yalta were the ones who saved the villagers who were anxiously staying only in the place. Hearing the misery of the village, the rumors came from the neighboring country (laughs). Without questioning whether the rumors had reached the neighboring country of Illustria, the simple villagers appealed to the preachers for their anxiety and timidity. The struggle of the preachers who heard the appeal was worth it, and since then, the human soul (one duma) has been hiding its form.....

"... ohhh..."

"Ah, you heard me again..."

"Damn it... I've got a grudge, it's cursed... it sounds disgusting..."

Oh, well done, Echo.

I'm afraid so.

The "voice" that frightened the villagers was the [Sound Magic] of the new Faker Bat, who became Crowe's follower. For a long time, I was a follower candidate in Klevas, but I took the opportunity of participating in this operation to rank up other follower candidates.

By the way, "echo" is the name I got at that time. Originally, it was the name of the Greek mythical nymph (nymph) who bought the goddess Hela's displeasure due to the passing of the chatter, but no other affordable name could be conceived of. Crowe named it under the motto of gender equality.... I think Echo himself likes it.

Some of the conversations were erroneous, but this time, the "voice" was just camouflaging the direction of the sound source with the [sound magic] of echo, and it was not actually heard from the mountains. Also, the [Sound Magic] makes it audible both indoors and outdoors, but the art is also fine.

And although it's the "voice" of the problem.....

Umu, I just chose it by popular vote, and it's very effective.

... I wonder if it was selected by the votes of the family members from the sounds of effects picked up by Crowe from various horror films in modern Japan. Incidentally, the grandfather who marked the virtuous party complained, but he still participated firmly in the vote. This is the only story.

"... All right, it's about time. Shanoa, Dan, are you ready?

Of course!

Leave it to me, Your Majesty (Majesty)

Everyone's good, right?

Dozens of dark spirits agreed with Shanoa's words.

All right, then, let's do it.

"Whoa!?"

"What... what? Suddenly it's around..."

"Damn it! I can't see anything!"

Suddenly thinking that the villagers were pushed into the darkness, the villagers were left behind in the darkness that they rarely knew by grabbing their noses. Neither the moonlight nor the blinking stars that illuminated the area until then, on the contrary, you can't even see the neighbor who was supposed to be next to you.

The villagers who were driven by anxiety bumped into each other, and the hands that swung in timidity hit the neighbor, and the neighbor panicked because of that... A little clammy screaming appeared in the alley.

In fact, it was because of the [Visual Blocking (Blind)] magic released by the Dark Spirits at Crow's request.

If the Dark Spirit had used [Vision Blocking (Blind)], it wouldn't have been possible to seal off a whole village. However, this time, the dark spirits who were trying to recover their point of failure - the origin of the noise was witnessed by the villagers - are participating, and Shanoa and Dan can receive a supply of magic power from the bounding crow. There was enough room to contain one of the villages in the dark.

It seemed that the effect was sufficient. Eventually, the darkness that had taken in the villagers had retreated and they had regained their sight.....

"... what... what the hell...?"

"The roar, the darkness... it's not some kind of curse, is it?"

"Something..."

Absolutely. Aren't there only the plantationers who died tasting it and swallowing it (laughs)?

"... the spirit of resentment must have been appeased by the preachers, right?"

"But..."

Villagers trapped by mistrust and timidity.

But... this was just a prelude.
