Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Under the surprised gazes of everyone, including Leos himself, the long sword at his waist suddenly sprouted several slender, winding white tentacles from the sword grid, which were squirming and making people feel sick.

"What is that?! And it's still getting longer!"

Maluciel instantly moved away from Laos, with a surprised expression full of disgust. At the same time, the growing tentacles actively clung to the door in front of her and stretched into a gear-like gear on the door. In a huge device.

Falin glanced at Jiansuke curiously, then looked at the situation in front of her, and guessed:

"Could it be that it's helping to open the door?"

As soon as the words fell, a clear 'click' sound was heard from inside the door, followed by a sound as if some mechanism started to rotate. At this time, Maluciel noticed that the ancient magic applied to the door seemed to have also started to rotate. Lifted.

"The door seems to have really been opened!"

Matthew's eyes widened in surprise, but at the same time, Chilchak heard some slight abnormal noises, looked up at the top of the door, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Be careful, there seems to be something up there!"

As the door opened, the three sleeping gargoyles above also woke up and attacked everyone.

Because of Chilchak's reminder, everyone was prepared in time. Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, and Marucil fought one by one, and the battle was quickly ended.

However, compared to the battle and the opened door, everyone is more concerned about another thing at the moment——

"Kensuke, I didn't expect you to have such ability?"

After the door was opened, the growing tentacles retracted again, looking the same as before. Leos held the sword in his hand and stared at it with surprise and confusion in his eyes.

There was no room for surprise. What puzzled him was that in their previous battles with each other, the other side seemed to have never shown such an ability.

"Le-O-S..."

Suddenly, a word-by-word call came, which made his hair stand on end. He immediately turned around and saw Maluciel staring at him and the sword in his hand with dangerous eyes and said:

"Should you explain to us what happened to that sword?"

"certainly!"

Laos nodded quickly, but at this time, Chirchak already had a rough guess and said angrily:

"That's the movable armor that's parasitic inside the sword, right? Are you just going to keep it by your side without telling us?"

"Mobile armor?"×3

Looking at the curious looks of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Faline, Laos smiled and explained.

For monsters like movable armor, the outside world has long believed that they are magical creations like golems and gargoyles.

But this time when they were fighting each other at the entrance to the third underground floor, they accidentally discovered that it was not magic that made the armor move, but some kind of creature that lived in various parts of the armor.

They hold hands inside the armor to form muscles, use the armor as an exoskeleton, and control the armor to move and fight. This is the truth of the movable armor.

The sword in Leos's hand came from the leader of the movable armor that fought with them at that time. It was also inhabited by that kind of creature, which he named after discovering it.

As he spoke, Leos showed Kensuke to everyone. He seemed to be aware of everyone's gaze, and his two eyes like snail tentacles cautiously poked his head out.

"Hey, so cute——"

Falin was curious and wanted to reach out and touch. Kensuke immediately made a threatening gesture when he saw this, and then quickly retracted it. Falin retracted her hand with some regret and smiled again:

"That means this is a pretty big discovery, right?"

"Right!"

"What a ghost!!"×2

Facing the angry Maluciel and Kilchak, Leos scratched his head and laughed:

"I'm sorry for keeping it secret from you for so long, but at least Kensuke did help a lot this time, so it shouldn't matter just like this, right?"

"Forehead,"

The two of them were at a loss for words for a moment, but Maluciel quickly reacted, frowned slightly and said:

"But the situation just now was obviously a bit strange. If the movable armor had that kind of ability, I'm afraid the secret would have been discovered long ago, right?"

"indeed……"

Laos also held his chin and began to ponder, then suddenly thought of something and said:

"Is it possible that Yaad or the Winged Lion is helping us?"

"That being said, it's not impossible."

On the other side of the discussion and speculation, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Kensuke with a thoughtful expression.

During this time, she occasionally felt someone spying on her. Originally, she thought the eyes were just from ghosts, but now it seems that there is another possibility...

Laos and others did not come up with any results in the final discussion, but in any case, the door was opened, and they naturally continued to go deeper.

The painting style behind the gate is completely different from that in front of the gate, as if it has suddenly changed from the Middle Ages to steampunk. There are old machines of unknown purpose placed next to the passage, the walls are covered with various steam pipes, and even the temperature has changed. It's got to be a bit hot.

From here to the seventh underground floor, you have left the scope of the castle and come to the underground of the castle, which are the real ruins of the ancient dwarves.

After walking through a passage, everyone came to a platform. Next to the platform was a huge machine. Senxi recognized it at a glance and said:

"That should be an automatic mine car. Let's get on it."

Walking into the automatic mine car, without any operation, the mine car started automatically and began to carry everyone deeper.

Falin looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly remembered something:

"Speaking of which, are we the first adventurer team to explore here?"

"yes."

Leos agreed with a smile, and the next step was the completely unfamiliar seventh floor of the underground. Although he didn't know how many unknown dangers there would be, he was more curious in his heart and looked forward to encountering more monsters he had never encountered before.

Of course, the most important thing is to defeat the crazy magician and let Faline regain her freedom.

Mashu curiously looked at the lights on the front of the car and on both sides of the windows. Even the seats in the car were similar to modern styles. Seeing this, she smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"The civilization of the ancient dwarves seems to be quite advanced!"

"Um!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement, looking at the surrounding environment with the same curiosity. When hearing their conversation, Maluciel explained:

"Due to the long-term war between the elves and the dwarf-goblin alliance, both sides continued to conduct research in order to defeat the other. At one time, they both produced quite advanced civilizations."

"It was only in the end that both sides suddenly discovered that what they had created had become very terrifying, and even posed a terrible threat to themselves and the entire world."

"So the two sides finally reached an agreement and chose to seal everything they created and prohibit further research and use. This also marked the end of the First World War."

"Most of the ancient magic that is now considered taboo, as well as these ancient dwarf relics, are products of that period."

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu both had stunned expressions, having a clearer understanding of the world.

After spending a period of time peacefully like this, the mine car finally reached the bottom level. Everyone got out of the mine car and passed through a tunnel that was neither long nor short. The front suddenly became open. What appeared in front of everyone was a tight figure. A complex of buildings built against a rocky mountain——

This is the seventh underground floor, the ruins of the ancient dwarves.
