«Guryuu-en Great Volcano»

It is situated 800 kilometers towards the north of the Dukedoe mountain five kilometers in diameter and 3,000 meters in altitude It didn’t have cone-like appearance similar to those of normal active volcanos It has dome-like, flat top igantic hill than a mountain However, the altitude and scale were just abnormal

The «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» was coeons However, unlike «Orcus Great Dungeon», it wasn’t er inside and how troublesoeon», deathered from were scarce… those were the basic reasons, but the foremost was actually because only few people were capable of reaching the entrance

The reason was,

"… It looks just like Laputa"

"… Laputa?"

Haji the scene of that irls look at hied his shoulders and watched the gigantic swirling sandstorht, just like how the floating castle rapped by cumulonimbus cloud, the «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» rapped by gigantic, swirling sandstore that it completely hid the «Guryuu-en Great Volcano», and the tornados of the sandstor wall

Moreover, a large a inside the sandstorm, and they would mercilessly e of view Thus, Hajie ability wouldn’t be able to pass through the sandstorlad we aren’t walking here"

"Indeed, even I doth not wanteth to enter it with iant sandstorrateful to the four-wheeler So" and the four-wheeler dashed out For this case, they didn’t come to conquer it leisurely There wasn’t that o into the untouched depth of the dungeon to obtain the ao into the deepest part, there should be a shortcut similar to what they have experienced until now As such, they would be able to immediately return to Ancadi

Hajime, himself, wasn’t interested in the safety of Ancadi’s people, but he didn’tso, he would at least not to feel guilty towards his companion, Kaori, nor would he let Myuu see a spectacle that would bring great shock to her

While thinking this, Hajiantic sandstorm

Inside the sandstor of«Halteena Sea of Trees», it was hard to see ahead It was also capable of influencing one’s physical condition, so it ic, breaking through this place filled with hidden de froh the diht could not reach Their speed was 30 kot before was accurate, they would break through the sandstorm within five ht and Hajime also reacted, one beat after her "Brace yourself!," Haji wheel

Three sandworthe around, and Haji aithout a care With four-wheeler’s speed, it would be better to quickly get out of the sandstor appeared

Two more sandworms came to attack fronored the previous three sandworood that the four-wheeler’s body would receive body blows However, it would hit without da the four-wheeler at all, and the four-wheeler would only be turned sideways That’s why, once Hajin Perception," he immediately tried to drift to evade However, Yue and Tio stopped him

"…Nn, leave it tothe two, Hajiht as it was Then, the gigantic worms dashed out of the brown colored world

However, the attacks coht side couldn’t even touch four-wheeler

"""Wind Blade"""

Seeing the sandworm on the left, Yue muttered and a blade of as instantly produced outside the four-wheeler and fired, drawing a trajectory using the sand on the air Thus the sandworm that jumped out before them was horizontally slashed, and blood scattered from the divided sandworht side, which Tio had taken care of

"Hood wind"

"… There’s no way I won’t use the wind from the sandstorm Tio, too, as expected of you"

Siic, "Wind Blade," and though it was a beginner-rankedaswind outside Siic power, thus the bestto the condition and environ it was simple, it was difficult to actually do it For Yue and Tio to be capable of doing it, it was indeed as expected of their competency

Behind the They had considerable speed as they advanced under the ground Irritated by the!Such a sound came from back part of four-wheeler and one of its rear part opened Several black, round objects rolled down fro the four-wheeler, they created huge explosions The iround ca flesh and blood Towards the sandworrenades, rolled and caused more explosions that bleay half of each of the sandworms Their upper-bodies were blown off, fluttered mid-air, and disappeared inside the sandstor Hajime-san, just how many functions are installed in this four-wheeler?"

Shia asked Haji at sandworms that were flashily bloay fro ainto huh they wanted to say it was impossible, they knew Hajian to silently look around inside the vehicle S wryly, Hajime said, "It was a joke As expected, I can’t irls were convinced that Haji that

Afterwards, the coantic spider, and ant-like demonic beasts However, all of theic fro the party’s advance

Ignoring Shia who said, "I am useless here," froantic sandstorm that had obstructed a lot of adventurers

Buuahh! Hajime’s party came out of the sandstorer than Ayers Rock It was a silent place surrounded by the wall-like sandstorm where the blue sky could be seen up above -- the eye of the storm

The entrance into «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» was at the top, so they continued to travel up on the slope using four-wheeler The exposed rocky surface was reddish red in color, and steah it was an active volcano, the point where it never erupted was a Great Dungeon-like wonder

Before long, the angle became more difficult for four-wheeler to advance, so Hajiot out of the four wheeler and went towards the top of the mountain on foot

"Uwau… i-it’s hot"

"Nn~…"

"Indeed … the heat is in a different scale compared to the heat of desert’s dry weather… Even without the tieon, huh"

"Hh this one feels comfortable here… this one can’t wait… to feel so hot that this body would writhes in agony"

"… I will drop you into the ot out of the four-wheeler, other than Tio, all of the in air-conditioned place before, they felt even hotter As adventurers in another world and travelers, for them to have withdrawal sy what they sowed

They didn’t haveabout the heat, they quickly went towards the mountain top, cliht As a result, Hajime’s party reached the top of the mountain in less than one hour

They arrived at the top, a complex place buried by rocks of various sizes There were rocks with pointed surface and also those with slippery, se objects Also, they could feel the top of the sandstorroup of strange-shaped rocks It was an arch-shaped rock with the length of ten e staircase that continued on into «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» under the arch-shaped rock Hajime stood before the staircase and looked over his shoulder towards Yue, Shia, and Tio’s faces in order With a confident expression, he said a word to challenge the Great Dungeon

"Let’s do it!"

"Nn!"

"Yes!"

"Umh!"

The inside of «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» was even eon» and «Raisen Great Dungeon»

Rather than the difficulty, it was the interior’s structure that was unexpected

First,like the ay in de, scorching red ons

Thus, the e and broad space round, but also above them

Moreover,

"Ukya!" "Woops, are you okay?"

"Ha~, Hajime-san, thank you It was iround"

Exactly what Shia said, the mas abruptly spouted from all around the walls It was really abrupt that it was difficult to perceive any prior sign of it It was similar to that of a booby trap Fortunately, Haji speed would’ve fallen due to the need to be cautious

Following that, the thing thatheat -- extre all around the passage and broad space whichinside a sauna, or to bepan The heat was theabout «Guryuu-en Great Volcano»

While sweating, Haji the drops of and the spouting ma And in a certain broad space, they found the place has artificial cut all over the place The place orn down by cuts that see like a pickaxe, but there was a s froht?"

"H-like words were confire was broad Apparently, this seeh the sandstorm and entered «Guryuu-en Great Volcano», mined the stone

For now, Hajime used "Mineral Enquiry" to search around for Serene Stone After he stored those that could be gathered easily, he urged Yue and the girls to usted by the heat, they descended into the seventh floor It was the highest floor recorded to be reached by the adventurers None of those whothehth floor
