Day 384
Still needs alot of editing ~Miraclegrass
I pieced together the story from the information that I gained through slaves and my clones, and the reality of the situation I saw and heard with them.
Since I learned what I wanted to know to some extent, in the evening I left my children with Blacksmith-san and Alchemist-san. With Kanami, Redhead, Burasato and Supesei, we will go to the 【Temple of the Sand Castle】 where a few of the elite soldiers of 【Arm of the Guardian】 are based.
In «Mushuram · Gianna», inside the branch shop of 【Arm of the Guardian】 has already been inspected by us and the information on the dungeon monsters that come out, and of the items dropped that are being sold have also been obtained, to a certain extent.
After that, if you listen to the experienced members, you will get detailed information, and captures will be easier as well. Especially for not being nervous, walking while being surrounded by beautiful ladies who, usually, do not have different attitudes can make you feel better in a few minutes.
We are in a desert wasteland area where there are less plants spread out and that extends far out, to the other side of the horizon. As I went sometimes far out while watching the herds of "Sand Wolves", "Sand Stone Lizards", etc, I found a fort built with processed rocks.
A sharply machined pile of rocks is on the other side of the walls which are 10 meters thick, preventing the enemies from cutting through. Above that, you can see that a face covered with a sand-like cloth like Sumague, a wretched armed watchman's eye are shining.
There are also some large weapons such as ballista, which are measures against larger monsters, and it has a robust structure that would be tougher than normal to attack.
In the back of the fort there was a castle characterized by a roof like an onion. For a far field of view, its full appearance is unknown, but not only does it have a robust structure that prevents foreign enemies in its visible range, but it is also decorated finely for a good appearance.
Perhaps it is even the 【Temple of the Sand Castle】. It looks like be almost completely brown, giving the impression that some sand has settled over it, or maybe that it is really made up of sand.
From the name, it is my mind that the temple might even collapses and bury people alive when entering? I wanted to tilt my head a little. Anyway, without getting away or hiding, we will go in directly from the front.
As a matter of course, though it is obvious from the number of guards that I noticed here, they seemed to ignore my silver arms as part of my armor as an arm guard, and seem to focus on the storm of destruction caused by thunder demons and devil winds.
It is caused by an original ability provided by 【Kempyu Yakushida Demonic Vajra Yakusha · Overlord · Shintoism Vaisala】named "Thunderstorm Wind God", to make the exterior wall look solid for a moment before disappearing as if nothing had been done to it from the beginning.
Members unlucky enough to be included in that became a cloud of blood, and disappeared from this world just like the outer wall. Even if it completely destroys the interior, it also adds 【Arms of Rainstorm】and【Rain Arms】etc. to this area, but at this time it is useless to do too much more, so I will not pursue.
Instead, the other 4 rush into the empty hole like blood starved hungry wolves.
Buri is aiming for the head. His weapons are not comparable to the usual ones,and the twin swords in his hands are hungry for blood.
Following right behind is Redhead. In love with her new sword 【Annulus Soul Serpent Sword】 in hand, to prey and aim on specific targets.
Kanami running in slowly with her bastard sword lightly held in one arm, the same space sword I built magic metals. I sent everyone out after telling them to avoid killing as much as possible, while I listened to the roaring sound of damaging being dealt.
To be honest, although the ability to challenge 【God's Age Dungeon】 is only available to the【Arm of the Guardian】, the 4 I brought with me are also good examples of excessive strength.
Although they are residents of the New continent whose basic performance is high because of what they do for a living thing, it is still inferior to 【Yuen】.
On the contrary, there are three demons here whose existence can only be opposed by multiple opponents, ones consisting of comparable existences. It really would be difficult for them to lose.
I thought I had plenty of time to finish my drink first, but there was a sign of a sudden swelling inside.
Apparently it seems that the leader, the chief or his/her partner, joined the battle. There is a unique sign that something resembling 【Divine Power】 has shown up. "Gouh you!" The roaring with the deep bass of giant beast echoed, making the ground tremble.
The heads of the 5 organizations have been found to all be guarded, so it seems to be some with similar capabilities.
Well, that is all based on solid evidence and the outcome does not change, regardless of what others want. The more powerful the enemy is, with the number of war demons there are here, it would be better for them to be defeated quickly to avoid as much suffering as we can.
Looking at the great numbers of troops spitting blood as if they were heaven's troops, I can only hope that as few as possible of them die. I had no choice but to wish so.

　“三百八十四日目”
　分体で得た情報と奴隷達から聞き出した話。そして自分達で見聞きした現実。
　ある程度知りたい事は知れたので、夕方頃、鍛冶師さんや錬金術師さん達に子供達を任せ、カナ美ちゃんと赤髪ショート、ブラ里さんとスペ星さんを連れて、少数精鋭な五名で【守神の腕セクト】が拠点を構える【砂城の楼閣】に行ってみる。
　≪ムシュラム・ジャンナ≫内部にある【守神の腕セクト】のアンテナ商店は既に視察済みで、売られているドロップアイテムから出てくるダンジョンモンスターの情報もある程度入手した状態だ。
　後は構成員達に話を聞けば、細かい情報も得られ、攻略も楽になるだろう。
　特に緊張したりもせず、普段とは装いの違う美女達に囲まれながら歩く事数十分少々。
　植物の少ない荒れ地が広がり、その向こうに地平線の彼方まで続く砂漠地帯に俺達はいる。
　時折遠くに“”の群れや“”などを見ながら進んで行くと、加工された岩石で造られた砦を発見した。
　鋭利に加工された岩の杭が乱立した先にある、外敵を阻む十メートルはありそうな分厚い外壁。
　その上には顔をシュマグのような砂避けの布で覆う、武装した物々しい見張り番が眼を光らせている姿が視認できる。
　また大型のモンスター対策なのかバリスタなどの大型兵器も幾つか見られ、普通に攻め落とすとなるとかなり手強いだろう、堅牢な構造をしている。
　そしてそんな砦の奥には玉葱のような屋根が特徴的な城があった。
　遠目ではその全貌は窺い知れないが、見える範囲では外敵を阻む堅牢な構造をしているだけでなく、見栄えが良いように細かい装飾が施されている。
　恐らくはあれが【砂城の楼閣】なのだろう。
　全体的に茶色っぽく、どこか砂が固まって出来たような印象を受けるので、もしかしたら本当に砂で構成されているのかもしれない。
　名称からして、入ったら崩れて生き埋めにされそうな予感がしてくるのは、気のせいだろうか？　と小首を傾げたくなった。
　ともあれ、逃げも隠れもせず、真正面から乗り込んで行く。
　すると当然こちらに気がついた見張り番から誰何されるが、無視して銀腕で一薙ぎ。そして巻き起こる鬼雷と鬼風による破壊の嵐。
　【鬼雷風神】という【・】に元々備わっている能力によって生じたそれ等は、一瞬で如何にも堅牢そうな外壁をまるで最初から何も無かったかのように消失させる。
　運悪く巻き込まれた構成員は血煙となって、外壁と同じようにこの世界から消失した。
　内部まで完全に排除するならこれに【】などを上乗せするのだが、今回はやり過ぎても駄目なので俺は追撃を行わない。
　その代わりに、他の四名がまるで血に飢えた餓狼のように空いた穴に向かって突入していく。
　先頭を行くのはブラ里さん。普段とは比べ物にならないほどの凶暴性を顔に滲ませ、手には血を欲する双剣が握られている。
　それに続くのは赤髪ショート。新たな愛剣となった【】を手に、獲物目掛けて疾駆する。
　カナ美ちゃんは走る速度が遅いスペ星さんを片腕で軽やかに抱きかかえ、スペ星さんは着々と魔術の砲弾を構築していた。
　極力殺さないように、とだけは言って皆を送り出した俺は、轟く破壊音にしばし耳を傾けた。
　正直言って、【守神の腕セクト】には【神代ダンジョン】に挑戦できるだけの実力があるとはいえ、襲いかかる四名は過剰戦力も良い所だ。
　生物として個の基本性能が高い新大陸の住民とはいえ、【英勇】には劣っている。
　それに対して【英勇】達を複数相手にできる存在が三鬼、匹敵する存在が一名という構成だ。負ける方が難しいだろう。
　先に一杯やろうかな、とすら思える余裕が俺にはあったが、内部で急激に膨れ上がる気配があった。
　どうやら彼・彼女等の首長である【神憑者】が戦闘に入ったらしい。
　どこか【神力】に似た力を宿す独特の気配がする。『グゥオオオオオ！』という重低音の巨獣の咆哮がここまで響き、地面が震えた。
　五つの組織の首長は全員【加護持ち】である事が判明しているので、それ関係の能力だろう。
　まあ、事実はさて置き、結末は変わらない。
　敵が強者であればある程、燃え上がる性格な戦鬼が居るのだから、むしろさっさと敗北していた方が彼女の為だっただろうに。
　天すら切り裂くような血剣の大軍勢が生まれたのを見て、出来る限り死なないで欲しい。
　俺にはそう願うしかなかった。
