Life in Another World With Narration

44 – Underground of the Demon World

“Ugh… Ugh… ….”

My whole body hurts as if it had been beaten.

What on earth happened to me?

The demon Bloodstain appears… The ground collapses… I fell into the bottomless pit…….

After that, I had no memory of losing consciousness.

Looking at his body, it looks like he’s not dead.

I can’t believe you’re still alive after falling from that crazy height.

I barely opened my eyes, tightening my brows and frowning.

I can hear the sound of water flowing right next to me.

And my body was completely soaked with water.

How did the battle go?

No, rather, where is this place?

I couldn’t organize anything in my head and was confused.

It seems that after falling into the hole, I lost consciousness and ended up floating in the water.

“It’s cold… ….”

I hugged myself with both arms and trembled.

I checked my body and looked around to make sure there were no serious injuries.

The ceiling and floor were full of stalactites and stalagmites.

Is it like an underground cave?

The walls and floor were full of glowing moss and mushrooms, so fortunately it wasn’t dark.

“There is no sword… ….”

I think I lost my sword.

No matter where I look around, I can’t see my sword.

I think I was washed away by the same stream of water that I assumed to have floated down.

Ah, that’s a sword I’m secretly fond of.

Anyway, is there a way out?

In my last memory, I felt like I had fallen for a while.

If it’s that deep, there’s no way to get out normally.

At that time, a translucent and welcome being suddenly appeared from the wall overgrown with mushrooms.

It was Shari, a little demon ghost.

“Oh, yes. “You were there.”

Shari emerged from the wall with a gloomy expression and looked at me. She smiled brightly and hugged me.

I could sense that Shari was very worried about me through the consciousness conveyed in her head.

“Yes, yes. Are you okay.”

I reassured Shari by stroking her head, which I could not touch.

Now that I think about it, if Shari had been by her side all along, wouldn’t she know what happened to me after I fell into the hole?

“Shari, can you show me what happened after I fell?”

I asked Shari for a favor.

Then, some of the scenes Shari showed flashed through her mind.

The image of myself falling endlessly down a hole, stretching out my hands towards the sky.

He loses consciousness after falling into a puddle of water, and is seen floating quickly along a connected stream.

After that, all I could see was the scene of the scene continuing to float away.

It seemed like I had probably drifted a considerable distance.

『Yunoa was looking for a way to return, but she did not have the means to return right away.

We couldn’t expect a rescue team.

He was trapped in this abyss-like underground.』

The narration in my head reminded me of my hopeless situation.

If there is no way back, is there no choice but to move forward?

I’m anxious because I lost my sword, but there’s no use in staying like this.

『Yunoa gathered courage and decided to go through this labyrinth-like underground.

But there was something he didn’t know.

Horn Canyon was a land close to a place called the Demon World.

Then where is this place that fell underground and has been flowing in for a long time?』

I quenched my thirst with the stream of water flowing next to me and was about to slowly move my body when the narration spoke ominous words.

If you look at the fact that Horn Canyon is close to the demon world, it doesn’t make sense…….

『That’s right. This was the basement of the demon world.』

* * *

The Battle of Horn Gorge ultimately ended in the victory of the punitive force.

The Blood Lord Bloodstein, a direct subordinate of the Demon King, competed with Mileia and retreated when the number of monsters further decreased.

The canyon was a mess with numerous monster corpses and broken rocks.

The punitive force formed by combining adventurers, knights of the kingdom, and soldiers also suffered great damage.

More than half suffered major or minor injuries, and there were also deaths.

It was a clear mistake by the kingdom, which failed to properly understand the scale of the monster in the first place.

Nevertheless, the subjugation team members were happy that they had successfully completed the battle and stopped the monsters.

The fact that they survived a dangerous battle where they could have died was enough reason for them to be happy.

But Mileia could not be happy.

She lost track of her enemy, Bloodstain, who destroyed her home before her eyes.

She had been pursuing her strength all her life in order to seek revenge, but even so, she was a formidable subordinate of the Demon King.

Furthermore, Millia had another reason to be sad.

“Yunoa… ….”

A huge hole that appeared when the ground in Horn Canyon collapsed.

The inside of the hole was so deep that nothing could be seen.

“…… “You mean Yunoa fell here?”

Millia asked expressionlessly to the other members of her punitive force.

“Yes, that’s right. The ground suddenly became unstable, so everyone escaped, but he ended up standing here…….”

Milleia picked up a rock the size of her fist from the floor and threw it toward the hole in the canyon.

It disappeared in an instant, as if the stone was being sucked into a black hole, but no sound was heard of it hitting the floor.

“Yunoa… ….”

Milleia called her Junoa’s name lowly.

There was no way an answer would come back.

She couldn’t be sure that if she was this high, she would still be alive, even if she was a human who had trained her body with magic.

“Mistress Milleia, she has many wounded. I need some time to get myself together. What should I do?”

“… ….”

The subjugation team asked Mileia, but she did not answer.

Are you saying I was wrong this time too?

As soon as she discovered Blood Stain, she put everything aside in her desire for revenge and went to deal with her bastard.

But because of that, Yunoa was unable to avoid the floor collapsing behind her and she fell into this hole.

Milleia thought that if she had been by Yunoa’s side, this would not have happened to her.

She erred in her judgment again.

Because of her poor judgment, she lost Yunoa.

“Maleia?”

Mileia was confused.

It is natural for casualties to occur in fierce battles.

This wasn’t the first time someone had died in her punitive force.

Yunoa is the only man who is not afraid of her and tells her honestly.

He was an advisor who could expose Milleia’s mistakes and tell her that she was wrong.

He would have been the only one. Yunoa and Mileia did not have a particularly special relationship.

“Yunoa… ….”

But what does this feeling mean?

Milleia could not understand her own feelings.

The more she tried to recall her reasons, the more confused she became and the more she became unable to understand anything.

Mileia stood as still as a pumice stone in front of the hole where Yunoa had fallen for a long time.

Even if someone talks to you next to you, you don’t respond at all.

Capital Fifnel, warrior’s room inside the central church.

The warrior Cain, who was on the brink of death after being attacked by the Lord of Deception, Xavier, woke up from his bed.

“What a piece of sh*t…” ….”

And Cain became furious.

If you refuse to fight the demon lord, not only will you have to suffer the pain of your body being torn apart, but now you will even be threatened with assassination by the demon lord.

“Ah, warrior. Are you awake? “How are you feeling?”

At that time, the bishop of the Diocese of Castile entered the warrior’s room and asked how he was doing.

“Get out! You bastard! Are you a demon too? “I don’t trust anyone anymore!”

Cain jumped up from the bed, picked up the vase next to him, and threw it at the bishop.

Click!

The vase hit the bishop’s head and broke, spilling water.

“Ugh… Ugh… ….”

The bishop groaned in pain, bleeding from his head.

“Get out! If this guy comes in without my permission, I’ll think he’s an assassin and kill him. “Go and tell it!”

“Yo… Hero… ….”

“Get out of here!”

Cain picked up his sword that was standing next to the bed.

The bishop sensed that they were truly planning to kill him and hurriedly left the room.

From that day on, anyone other than Cain’s permission was allowed to knock on the door of the warrior’s room.

It was a huge shock to him that the demon Xaviel, disguised as a human, attempted to assassinate Cain.

Cain can no longer trust the people around him.

If you remain a warrior like this, the demons will come after your life anyway.

The plan to use my status as a warrior and do whatever I wanted was impossible.

“If I kill the devil bastard, this sh*t will end…….”

But what must be done to kill the devil?

I was almost killed by that guy named Xavier, who was said to be the devil’s subordinate.

If he hadn’t resisted desperately and wasted time, he would have definitely been killed.

The assassination attempt would not end with this one time.

As long as the hero Cain lives, the Demon King will continue to try to kill the hero.

Cain wanted to end this warrior’s life, which had no good qualities whatsoever.

It was better for him to go back to the back alleys and live like a bastard like before.

But just putting that thought in his head, he had to struggle in excruciating pain as his body was torn apart.

Cain was worried.

How can we defeat the Demon King as quickly as possible?

In fact, the fastest way for a hero to defeat the Demon King was to go on an adventure, gather his companions, and obtain the Holy Sword.

All the previous warriors who succeeded in subduing the Demon King in the past were like that.

But Cain did not have the patience to wait for that process.

He just wanted a way to invade the Demon King’s castle right now and kill the Demon King.

Not knowing that such an expedient method would only delay the defeat of the Demon King.
