Along the way, they avoided typical traps such as holes in the ground, walls of guns, spurting poison mist, and falling stone pillars. They were not confused by forks in the road and kept moving forward.
Meredi confirmed to Bandhu:
"Can we go directly to where the subjects are being held?"
"No, the front leads to a dungeon. It's said that this was built so that in the event of an armed rebellion, the royal family could pretend to surrender and be imprisoned, but actually use this to escape."
To get to the underground laboratory from that dungeon, you have to go down three more floors.
"Is Ben's real body there too?"
"I'm somewhere else. But you should prioritize transferring the subjects. If I'm alone, I can escape on my own in the worst-case scenario."
"I understand. But don't worry! Xiao Mi is no longer incompetent! Xiao Mi is not incompetent!"
"I hope so."
Meredi jumped up and down, emphasizing that she was "not incompetent", but Bandu's expression did not show any sign of annoyance.
Perhaps he was nearing the exit, and others could see that he was gradually getting nervous. To ease his nervousness, Milady and the others said in a strong voice:
"We will definitely save you."
"Leave it to us."
"I may not like you... but I promise I'll save you."
“…Hmph, of course.”
Bandu turned his head away, showing his tsundere side.
A few seconds later, Miredi and others arrived at their destination.
Bandu stood in the middle of the unmarked passage, knelt on one knee, and pressed hard on the corner of a floor tile. Then, several red bricks slid open before his eyes, and a handle appeared inside.
Bandu pulled the handle and a corner of the wall was easily pulled open, revealing a cave that an adult could crawl into.
Bartram quickly extended his tentacles to check the situation at the other end of the cave. Seeing that there seemed to be no problem, he immediately slid through the cave and entered the dungeon.
No one said a word after that.
After making eye contact with each other, they immediately and quickly went into the dungeon.
There were three cells lined up in front, but they seemed empty. Although Bandu should have confirmed this beforehand, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
Meredi and the others looked around the unpleasant and cold dungeon.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that Bartram had disappeared. The next moment, Bartram appeared from the gap in the iron railings and waved his hand. Miredy and others opened the iron gate and went out to the passage, only to see two soldiers collapsed on the ground.
It seems that it helped them get rid of the jailer first.
Bandu walked ahead, waving his hand to indicate the direction. Meredith and the others followed him, stepping over the unconscious jailer and reaching the iron gate.
Soon, they came to a staircase connecting the upper and lower levels.
The group walked down the stairs. The stairs were dark, and just being there made one feel gloomy.
After passing one or two stair platforms, they finally arrived at what seemed to be an underground passage at the lowest level.
There was a corner in the passage, and the light from the oil lamp on the wall kept flickering. If anyone approached, the shadow would reveal their whereabouts.
"..."
Meredy frowned slightly, and a beat later, Oscar and Niz showed the same expression.
Because the smell of blood was overwhelming.
It was a stale and strong stench, a lingering smell after years of bloodbath.
How much blood has been shed here in the past...
I seemed to be able to hear the sounds of pain and resentment towards my own situation in my ears.
"Let's go."
Meredy exclaimed impatiently.
Then, a shrill alarm sounded, probably because the garrison in the mountains discovered something unusual.
However, there was no anxiety on Meredith's face. Instead, she had a proud smile on her face.
of course.
Because──
"Genius beautiful magician Mimi! It's time to show off her power!"
The sirens are the signal that can liberate power.
Meredith rushed out like a cannonball.
Around the corner, two soldiers guarding the entrance to the testing grounds were surprised to see the girl suddenly appear. This was an unacceptable mistake for them, as they were trained to report any unusual activity immediately.
However, this is not their fault.
Because the girl completely ignored gravity and ran on the ceiling.
With a cry of "Hah!", Meredith leaped from the ceiling, dropping down the corridor at the speed of a free fall. Then, when the two soldiers snapped back to their senses, her feet had already slammed down on their faces.
The gravity field, inverted backward, also caught the two soldiers, causing them to crash into the iron gate behind them. Trapped between the soles of Meredith's shoes and the iron gate, they were hurled into the experimental field along with the gate.
The iron door crashed to the ground in the room, clanging loudly. Two soldiers spun in mid-air, their noses bleeding.
Meredi landed in the experimental field.
"!"
She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands.
Oscar and Niz who arrived later were also too surprised to speak. They opened their eyes wide and stopped unconsciously.
The situation is so tragic.
There were three layers of small cells lined up against the wall, and people were crammed in there...without any regard for human dignity.
Everyone inside was naked, covered in wounds, and emaciated. Some simply stared blankly into space, some groaned in fever and pain, and some grasped at the ground meaninglessly.
Bottles filled with large amounts of blood and parts of internal organs filled the cabinets, and dismembered monster corpses and parts of human bodies were piled together haphazardly.
In this hellish place, there were several demons in white robes and many guards, who looked at Meredith with surprised expressions.
"Sink."
Her tone was "Laison's tone," the tone used by the executioner clan to announce an execution.
An unresistible and unreasonable force attacked the researchers.
The result came in an instant.
They sank to the ground as ordered.
His entire body made shattering sounds, but he couldn't even scream.
As if to say that it was an action that only "humans" were allowed to do.
It's like declaring that they are not recognized as human beings.
“Oh!”
"I know!"
Chains flew out of Oscar's sleeves, and one chain split into countless chains, which were wrapped around the iron bars of all the cells in a blink of an eye.
Thus, in front of the peerless alchemist, no metal could withstand him. Although the sturdy railings were supposed to be made of seal stone, they were still easily broken down.
"It's okay, we'll take you to safety soon."
Meredith said this with a smile, trying not to scare the subject. The subject stared at Meredith blankly, and Nizu was about to open the portal—
"How is this possible! Why are you back already?!"
Suddenly someone shouted in surprise.
It was Bandhu. He was looking up into space, an anxious expression on his face.
"Hurry, it's a trap—"
After hearing his warning, Meredi and the others opened their eyes wide in surprise, and Bandu's form quickly disintegrated and disappeared.
"Ban!?"
Despite Meredith's calls, Bartram lost his mimicry, leaving only his translucent body. Although it merged with the fragment beside it, it no longer took on the form of Bandu, nor did it convey his words.
Something happened to Bandhu's real body.
Although Miledi and others were so convinced, the situation continued to develop during this period.
Only a sound similar to mechanical operation was heard in the underground experimental field, and then a part of the wall suddenly slid open, and then a black shadow rushed out.
Yes, those two men in black. The torrent of magical energy flowing through them was extraordinary, as if they had initially relied on blood-sucking to boost their abilities, and were in the process of activating their "Limit Breaking" state. Then, about ten more men in gray appeared.
Without saying a word, Miledi cast gravity magic.
The gray-robed men knelt on the ground, but...
"what?"
The two men in black didn't take the supergravity seriously at all, and one of them approached Meredith rapidly.
The gauntleted iron fist swung towards Meredith's abdomen.
"Miledi!"
Oscar unleashed his "Great Demon Sword" just in time, weaving it between Meredith and the man in black. The "Great Demon Sword" became a shield, barely protecting Meredith from the enemy's vicious blows. As the two retreated, the demon sword exploded, successfully creating distance between Meredith and the enemy, but...
The man in black holding the assassination sword attacked Oscar.
The man in black seized the perfect opportunity and stabbed Oscar with the assassination sword while he was looking at Meredith.
Natsu wanted to use space vibration to knock the man in black away.
"!? Disappeared!?"
I didn't expect the magic to not work.
Oscar parried the assassin's sword with the hem of his black coat, but was immediately struck by a kick, sending him flying with tremendous force. He knocked over the lab equipment behind him and crashed into a cabinet, splattering glass and causing him to groan. Meanwhile, the gray-clad figures had unwittingly escaped the hypergravity and pursued the still-immobilized Oscar. Half of them fired powerful wind cannonballs, while the other half charged at him.
“Oh!”
"Oscar!"
The man in black with the assassination sword turned and attacked the screaming Meredith, and Nez was also chased and attacked by the man in black with the gauntlets.
Miredy and Nitze wanted to crush each other with gravity magic, or use space magic to knock them away, but this time they couldn't even activate the magic.
Meredy and Natsu looked stunned, as if they had been suddenly betrayed by their long-time partner.
No one came to Oscar's rescue, and he was about to be hit by the wind bomb that could shatter the rocks... At that moment -
"! You're really good!"
Oscar praised.
Bartram slid in front of Oscar, expanding his body, using his slime-like form, which was highly resistant to impact, as a barrier to block the gray-clad man's attack. Although his body was somewhat scattered, he still shook himself and perfectly received the wind cannonball.
As for the gray-clad men who were attacking past Bartram, Oscar opened his black umbrella and activated the second move, "Wall Charge," which bounced all of them away like ping-pong balls.
Oscar barely escaped, but had no time to breathe.
All the gray-clad men fired fireball magic at Bartram, who immediately transformed himself into steel to resist the fireball attack.
At the same time, Niz flew over and seemed to have been hit hard by the man in black with the gauntlet. Niz hit the glass of a cabinet not far from Oscar, cutting the side of his head and bleeding.
Although he seemed uninjured by the fist, the sword made by Bartram was shattered in the middle.
"That man in black will hinder space magic."
Furthermore, it had been confirmed that the spatial magic attack itself would dissipate. Oscar couldn't help but let out a cry that sounded like a wail.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Before Natsu could answer, the man in black delivered a flying kick to him.
Nizu jumped sideways to avoid the attack, and immediately there was a sound of impact and destruction. The cabinet and the wall behind him were wrecked beyond recognition.
The man in black with the gauntlet even used the impact of the destruction to reverse his body and launch a fierce attack on Nizu.
Judging from the fact that the man in black did not use magic and focused on close combat, it turned out that within a certain distance, the opponent could indeed block space magic.
