After all, the structure of the fortress can be roughly understood after observing it from the outside, and where the cells may be located can be completed in just a few minutes by simply searching.

"Well... this place was not built by the Knights of the Round Table. It seems to be an ancient relic that has been directly preserved and used."

The underground cells in the fortress seemed to be quite old. They were deep and dark places that had been directly dug out, and they contained many not-so-good things.

It seems that the Knights of the Round Table did not clean up this place at all, and just used it as a temporary cage.

But it is true that the Round Tables don't really need cages.

Most of the prisoners will be executed when the Knights of the Round Table arrive. The Iron Aggravon does not recognize servants other than the Knights of the Round Table.

This underground space would inevitably condense some undead creatures, but just a few undead were still not enough to stop Hassan.

"Secret passage...⑻We found a Servant5, huh?⑺It's a man⒍...This6 shouldn't be the one that Lord Bedevere4 needs⑷ to rescue2, but he is also a Servant. If we can win him over, he will be a good force."

After passing through the corridor of the underground prison and finding no trace of any living creatures, Hassan quickly found a secret passage on the side. Walking into the secret passage, Curse Wrist saw the Servant guarded by a huge stone elf.

The man who looked quite energetic at that time, although imprisoned here, still put on an innocent smile and stayed in the cell. Judging from his exposed strong body, he should be a servant of the fighting faction.

However, we still have to do the real work first. When we don't know which camp the other party is in, we have to rescue the people who need to be rescued first, and then try to negotiate with them to avoid any accidents.

So Hassan bypassed the stone elves guarding it and walked deeper into the secret passage.

In the cell further ahead, there were two imprisoned girls. Cursed Wrist sneaked in the darkness and went behind them.

"You two, I am here with Lord Bedivere to rescue Hassan the Cursed Arm who is imprisoned in this fortress. You are the friends that Lord Bedivere mentioned who are imprisoned here, right?"

"Bedivere, please. I'm Mr. Sugihara. Yes, I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru who's traveling with Mr. Bedivere. That's Mashu over there. Excuse me, Mr. Curse Arm. It might be quite troublesome to sneak into the fortress."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded slightly and spoke in a very small voice.

"Lord Bedivere is outside attracting the attention of the knights in the fortress. There is no more power here except the elves used for guarding, otherwise I would not be able to sneak in here. Do you still have the strength to stand up?"

Cursed Arm Hassan said this modestly as he released Fujimaru Ritsuka from captivity.

"It's okay. Although I'm imprisoned here, I haven't been abused too much in the past few days. The knights are fully focused on torturing Miss Hassan in the cage in front."

It seemed that Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have any problems. He held on to the wall behind him and moved a little, then he was able to stand steadily and walk.

"Great, then please rest here for the two of you. I will rescue the other Hassan who is imprisoned here, and then I will meet you and escape from here together."

After receiving the quiet news, Hassan nodded happily, put Mashu down as well, and then merged into the darkness again, walking towards the cage further ahead.

"How come the Undead suddenly appeared here? The soldiers of the Round Table shouldn't be so careless, right?"

But soon after leaving the cage of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, undead monsters emerged from the surrounding walls. Although they were not too threatening, they still made Hassan a little confused.

But the most urgent task at the moment was to rescue Jingmi, so Hassan did not dwell on it any further and rushed forward with all his strength.

Near the end of the secret passage, on the right side, there was a closed iron door. Curse Wrist quickly opened the door, and Quiet Hassan was imprisoned in this cell.

Jingmi was tied to the wall with chains, various torture instruments were around her, and blood was splattered on the ground.

"...Who is it?...You haven't given up yet...? Give up, no matter the pain or the poison...it's useless..."

Quiet Hassan seemed to be unconscious under the torture of the torture instruments. When he heard someone coming in, he just muttered to himself and didn't even raise his head.

"…No, there's no need for that. It's a relief that you managed to hold on until now, Serenity."

"You are...from the East Village...?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Quiet Hassan raised his head with difficulty, and at the same time tried hard to recall his confused memories.

"Let me untie your chains. You've done very well, Jingyi. There's no need to be on guard anymore."

Curse Wrist walked forward quickly, intending to untie Tranquility from the chains that bound her.

"No... don't let me go...!"

But Hassan shook his head violently, and despite his weak appearance, he suddenly burst out with strength to express his refusal to the curse watch.

"Go... Kill me and then go... I can't be saved..."

Jingmi's next words made Curse-Wrist confused, and Curse-Wrist, who was unconscious, couldn't say too many complete sentences and had difficulty expressing his meaning.

"Will we be discovered if we put you down?"

Hassan the Cursed Arm could only guess in the general direction to get a quiet answer.

"Yes..."

Jingmi seemed to think for a moment, gave a difficult reply, and then did not even move her head.

"It's okay. I've brought help to rescue you. After rescuing you, I'll signal him to open the way for us."

The Curse Wrist sounds like a chain or some magic that would sound an alarm when Serenity is released, but they didn't sneak in to rescue people. They had the intention of a strong attack, so they sent the Curse Wrist here just to find the person first.

Thinking of this, the curse wrist no longer felt too much pressure. He spread the prepared cloth on the ground and untied Hassan Quiet from the chains.

Quiet Hassan also looked like he had spent a lot of energy in the previous action, with his head down and no movement, and as the chain was untied, he fell on the cloth on the ground. :

The Cursed Wrist wrapped Serenity with cloth again and took her with him, preparing to walk out of the cell to meet Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Boom——

Just as Hassan the Cursed Arm took Hassan the Serene away, a terrible roar sounded from underground at the end of the secret passage not far from them.

As the violent sound rang out, the earth began to shake violently, causing damage to the fortress on the ground.

Although he didn't understand what exactly happened, the current situation was obviously irreversible. Zhu Wan looked at the shaking passage and falling earth and rocks around him and quickly quickened his pace.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu have walked out of their cells and are waiting for Cursed Arm Hassan.

"We can talk about the extra things after we get out. It's hard to say when this place will collapse."

"Ah."

Cursed-arm Hassan shouted before he even reached them, and the two girls quickly nodded and took steps, running towards the exit.

"Phew, I'm really hungry and I don't have enough strength."

The tunnel ahead was experiencing a fierce battle. The sturdy man seen before also broke free from his chains and was fighting with the guardian of the secret passage.

Although the man was carrying a large bow on his back, he was actually fighting the elf whose body was made of stone with his pure flesh.

"It looks like we can't get through without help. Mashu, meet the attack!"

The huge stone elf directly blocked the exit of the secret passage, and Fujimaru Ritsuka had no choice but to stop and give Mashu the order to fight.

"Mm, well done! It was a wonderful contest. If this place wasn't about to collapse, I would have to give you some praises."

Seeing the reinforcements coming, the Servant immediately took down the bow behind him. Instead of just playing around, he drew the bow and cooperated with Mashu to pierce the stone elf.

"It seems that the monster under this land has been released by you. Those knights are just reckless. They actually built a fortress on such a terrifying monster. Run away quickly. It is not inferior to the giant centipede monster I conquered."

The servant was none other than Tawara Tota. After defeating the stone elf, he turned his head and looked at Hassan of Tranquility who was being led by Hassan of the Cursed Arm.

"Are there monsters here?"

"It's a bit difficult to explain. I only discovered this after I was caught here. Let's go up first. I'm afraid that the girl over there can't survive the collapse of the ground."

Tawaratouta didn't seem to be panicked, but since there were still humans here, he still spoke out to remind them.

It seemed that the beast below did not awaken very quickly, or perhaps the fortress above had been reinforced or even sealed. Several people ran out from underground smoothly. Only cracks appeared on the ground in the center of the fortress, and cracks continued to appear on the walls of the fortress.

"Phew, if you want to know anything, just ask. I'm really hungry. Let me fill my stomach while answering your questions."

After crawling out from the ground, Tawara Tota immediately took out his rice bag and took out the abundant food from it to fill his hungry stomach.

"Oh yeah, you must have been hungry for quite a while, come eat something together, we can't fight on an empty stomach, we will face a very scary enemy soon."

Tawaratota did not forget the people around him. He not only produced food for one person, but also covered the ground with it.

"Ah, we've finally got in touch! After you were taken to the cell by the knights of the Holy City, the communication has been lost for three days. Finally, we've got in touch again.

What is going on there? There is a terrifying magical reaction under your feet. The strength of this zero-based power has surpassed the level of a Servant! "

The voice of Dr. Roman beside Ritsuka Fujimaru was heard at the same time as they left the underground.

"We are fine. It was Mr. Bedivere who brought the rescue. Mr. Hassan rescued us from the underground cell, but it seems that we also released some kind of monster underground. This is..."

"Hmm, I forgot to tell each other our names. What happened just now was too urgent. Servant Archer, real name is sOuSUo:珥′∠㈨№si∏楞▲▲㈣3㈤镏‖;私念藤太."

"Tawaratouta... that's the samurai known as the Dragon Slayer of the Far East."

Dr. Roman promptly supplemented his identity.

"You want to know what the thing below is, right? It's a dragon, and a dragon of considerable size.

Although it was quite deep, I had only lived here for one day when I discovered something similar to the giant centipede I had defeated before."

Tawaratouta said, wiping his mouth with his hand and standing up.

"I'm full now. It's time for the things below to come up and for me to start. To defeat this kind of thing again must be the purpose of my coming here."

A set of relatively luxurious-looking armor appeared on Tawara Tota's body, and then he grabbed three arrows from behind and put them on the bow.

"Namo Hachiman Great Bodhisattva, let this arrow do its job and kill the great demon!"

Tawara Tota pulled the divine bow in his hand with all his strength and shot it just when the roar below reached its most intense. The earth collapsed at the same moment, and the gluttonous beast with a mouth that could devour the world broke through the earth and climbed up.

"Is that... the Demonic Pillar?"

The beast that tore the earth apart and rose from the depths of the earth was a columnar monster like the Demon Pillar.

However, it was different from the Demon Pillar, which was covered with demon eyes and made entirely of flesh and blood. It was a spire-shaped monster with huge alien mouths on the top and bottom.

The alien mouth of the monster was a very strange square shape, with four split lips covered with sharp teeth. The size of the mouth directly occupied one side of the huge body, and all around it were various tentacles.

Along with the huge body, there also rose countless diamond-shaped crystal-like objects. Along with the appearance of the crystals, mist came and gradually filled the place.

The three arrows that Tawaratota had shot in advance also accurately shot directly into the huge mouth at the bottom of the monster that rose from the ground.

But the three arrows that in the story killed the giant centipede whose body was as big as a mountain did not make any movement after entering the mouth of the monster that was like a demon pillar, as if they were eaten directly.

"You call that thing a demon pillar? It is indeed a demon-like creature that can swallow the arrows blessed by Hachiman Great Bodhisattva."

Tawara Tota was still able to see clearly what was happening in front of him, so he took out seven arrows again, put them on the bow and shot them all at once.

It is said that in the legend, Tawara Tota once shot seven arrows at once, destroying Taira no Masakado's seven clones at once.

This time, Tawaratota did not shoot at the monster's bloody mouth, but aimed at the middle part of the two huge mouths above and below. However, the arrow landed on the rose-colored body of the monster, but the arrowhead only penetrated and was powerless.

"Don't just stand there, that guy's attack is coming."

After shooting the arrow again, Tawara Tota, who saw that he had failed to accomplish his mission, grabbed the rice bag beside him and moved aside, while shouting to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu who were still there.

The next moment, a huge tentacle about one or two meters thick stretched out from the ground where they were standing, and slapped the ground with extremely fast speed and force, and the ground that was hit was directly shattered.

"Something is not right. This guy is constantly releasing mist. In a little while, I'm afraid that no one here except me will be able to see anything beyond the range of arms."

The demon pillar-like thing had only just appeared, but the hazy fog it stirred up had already reduced the visible range by almost half, and the fog was still getting thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Not only that, it is also consuming magic power. I feel a little tired after just shooting these few arrows. I underestimated the harm here."

Tawaratouta's breathing was obviously getting heavier, and he no longer had the calm look he had before. He spoke with some distress.

"You are just an ordinary human, right? I'm afraid your magic power cannot withstand being drained in this environment. Leave here quickly. It won't chase you with me here. It was my carelessness that allowed it to escape. I shouldn't have been so greedy for sleep that it delayed things."

"No, Mr. Tawaratouta, if this thing is really the Demon Pillar, then we absolutely cannot evacuate. Destroying the Demon Pillar is exactly why we came here."

Ritsuka Fujimaru seemed to be in good condition, and Mashu also put up a shield to protect the two of them.

"Okay, then let's fight side by side. Don't be too far away from me. Feel free to take the food in this rice bag. You must eat enough to win against this so-called Demon Pillar."

Tawaratota put down the rice bag in his hand, a round helmet appeared on his head, and he took out Baiyu's arrow.

"The change in the strength of Tawara Tota's spiritual base has increased by at least 30% compared to before. Could it be that the helmet is a treasure bestowed by Utsunomiya Daimyojin, and it has changed from the time of the Great Centipede to the side of the Taira Masakado during the subjugation?

However...it is confirmed that the magic power of the enemy suspected to be the Demon Pillar is still increasing, and this level is several times that of the Demon Pillar seen before."

Dr. Roman continued to give intelligence and analysis, making surprised noises.

"Try to knock down the diamond-shaped crystals beside the enemy. The mist seems to be released from those things, and the effect of the enemy absorbing magic power seems to be intensified as the thickness of the mist increases."

"Just leave it to me."

Tawaratou nodded confidently, and once again demonstrated his skill by shooting seven arrows in a row, knocking down the crystals through the mist.

"The growth rate of the mist seems to have slowed down. It seems to be effective. However... the enemy's magic power has not slowed down. Even if it absorbs magic power from the surrounding air, it shouldn't grow so fast. By now, the enemy's magic power has almost doubled."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka and Lord Tawara Tota, as well as the remote communication magician over there, perhaps I can explain this matter. In addition to us, there are also knights and soldiers from the Holy City stationed in this fortress, and they all lost their ability to move when that monster appeared."

Hassan the Cursed Arm, who had disappeared since he came out, appeared at this moment and spoke to the people present.

"That is to say, the Demon Pillar is mainly extracting the magic power of those soldiers. Although each soldier has a small amount of magic power, there are at least hundreds of soldiers stationed here."
