Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ Chapter 190

Folkia is full of demons .
Alma and Ruli ask me in a panic when they hear that .

『More than 30 demons!? That, sounds really bad . . . 』

『But aren't demons a creature that doesn't group together? Yet there's 30 of them here?』

『Yeah . Ordinary demons do not flock together . The demons here are a special type of subspecies that does . Their other peculiarities are they're hard to detect, and good at cooperating together . . . in exchange, each is weaker than an average demon though . 』

In my past life, these types of demon are called 『Demon Subspecies』 .
Since detection technology had progressed at the time, there were only a few cases of Demon Subspecies mingling with humans .

Even if they're weaker than an average demon, they still far surpass the humans of this era .
If this type of demons was the one that infiltrated Beisis Kingdom, it would have been tougher to deal with .

『Weaker than an average demon . . . How strong are they?』

『It depends on each individual, but Ruli and Alma should be able to defeat one if it's alone . . . However, the more of them, the tougher the fight will be . Try your best to avoid fighting more than five of them together . 』

Demons fundamentally prefer to fight alone, they're bad at coordinating together with each other in a fight .
But Demon Subspecies is different .

Demon Subspecies fights by coordinating with their unique mana wavelength along with complex and specific interception and jamming comm magic, allowing them to perform a variety of coordinated attacks .

Their coordination is far above what humans could achieve with comm magic .
They could share their visions and hearing among each others, and even sometimes do linked magic casting .

The only saving grace is the fact that the mana used for their coordination has a short range, 50 meters at most .
If not, fighting even one of these Demon Subspecies would have meant fighting the subspecies in the entire world .

I walk toward the town while talking about that .
Alma hurriedly tried to stop me .

『Hang on, where are you going!?』

『To the town gate . Though not the front gate, but the secret path used by the fake bandits . 』

I point at a nearby ground while talking through comm magic .
There's a part where the ground is new over there .

I held up the forged pass over the ground, then it moved out, exposing the entrance into the secret path .

『 . . . Bingo . Tis' the secret path used by the fake bandits when they get out of town . 』

『How'd you even find this path . . . ?』

『With Mana Perception . This kind of secret paths uses a magic tool that detects passes to open the door . 』

I point at a magic tool buried in the path .
This magic tool won't open the door unless it detects the pass .

It's a relatively orthodox way to seal a secret path .
I expected a type that scanned each person and prepared four forged passes for all of us, but that seems to be unnecessary .

『Mana Perception . . . Could such a tiny mana reaction like this be found?』

『Finding this simply by looking at the surrounding mana is impossible, yeah . But if you do it while assuming there would be this type of magic tool around, you should notice . . . Knowledge about magic tools isn't only useful for making one but also for planning countermeasures . 』

I check the passage's wall for mana reaction .  
This kind of passage is usually installed with traps that calls for guards or blocks intruders who have take possession of the pass . . . But neither seems to be present around the entrance .
It's not possible to look far ahead since the passage is curving, but judging from the atmosphere, we should be able to manage somehow .

『Looks clear . Girls, get down here . . . but be sure to take cautions while progressing ahead . 』

『Understood!』

『Yes!』

『Got it!』

The girls also go down the passage .
Well then, shall we go infiltrate Folkia .
Our objective is of course; annihilate all demons .
