Chapter 167: A Glimpse of Queen’s Power
A while after they started hunting monsters in the 1st floor――
They finally saw the stairways leading to the 2nd floor.
（Uhm, I wonder what kind of theme waiting for us in the next floor.）
Tama descended the stairways with an excited look on his face while keeping up his vigilance.
The metal organites and Shiri were following from behind.
（What… the meaning of this?）
Tama finally stepped into the 2nd floor of the labyrinth.
He couldn’t help but tilt his head upon seeing the scenery before him.
Something like ruins was spread in a gigantic space.
The thick fog that was even denser than the first floor that enveloped the second floor gave a rise to a cold sensation.
After pondering for a while, Tama finally walked forward while keeping his guard up.
And then, the door of one of the ruined buildings made a creaking sound as it was pushed open from the inside.
Several skeletons-like things came out from within.
（I see, this floor is undead territory huh!）
Tama had finally grasped the situation after seeing the skeletons coming out one after another.
Soon, the door opened one after another, sending out wave after waves of the skeleton.
Skeleton was an E-rank monster but, they’re the source of huge headaches when so many of them gathered together.
Considering the fact that troublesome monsters such as big fang appeared in the first floor, this floor had literally established itself as a highly difficult labyrinth.
（At this rate, we’re going to be surrounded by them, I’ve to exterminate them at once!）
Tama raised a heroic, yet adorable cries as he stood in front of Shiri as if to protect the latter.
Blazing crimson breath attack which aking to hellfire spewed from his mouth.
It was one of his inherent skills which evolved after he received divine protection from the spirit back in Arc, 《Ifrit Howling》.
The extremely ferocious hellfire of the spirit swept upon the skeleton like a never-ending waves.
That one attack reduced the number of the skeleton by half.
「You… even have such terrifying offensive skill!」
Tama’s ears caught the Shiri’s surprised voice.
And just as he expected, it seems she had no idea that Tama was so powerful.
「Yosh, let’s this mistress to lend you a hand. Metal organites, do it!」
Shiri ordered her metal organites with a loud and clear voice.
Thereupon, the mid-guard metal organite who protected Shiri readied its stance as it chanted 『《Flame Lance》――』with its inorganic voice.
A scorching red magic circle deployed above its head, the flame spear which appeared from the magic circle then rushing toward the skeletons.
The flame spear exploded right in the middle of the skeleton’s crowds.
That attack just now had slain few skeletons at once.
（Hou, intermediate fire magic skill huh. Not bad.）
Tama was looking at the mid-range metal organites with a look of admiration on his face.
What made Tama admire it was the fact that it couldn’t just use intermediate, it could also aim properly at its target.
Well, that was only natural since it was created to protect the king of this kingdom, who was sneaking out of her room in order to see Tama’s strength.
After that, the mid-range metal organite kept firing 《Flame Lance》 until it wiped off the remaining half of the skeleton.
In addition, even though it kept firing intermediate magic until now, it didn’t show any sign of exhaustion at all.
In the first place, just… how in the world they make a mechanical body that can use a skill like that?
「Fufufu… you’ve been wondering for the reason why my metal organites can use skill, right?」
Shiri who noticed Tama’s confusion asked such a question.
Tama nodded as he replied to her with an adorable cry.
「The answer is simple, the metal organites are actually using this mistress mana to invoke that skill.」
「Nya!?」
Tama raised even more Tama raised an even more surprised cry upon hearing Shiri’s answer.
There is an art… that can distribute one’s own mana to the other.
At the same time, he felt anxious.
The reason being the metal organites had been firing intermediate magic skill since a while ago.
The mana consumption was no joke and yet, Shiri was standing still without any problem.
「Fufufu… don’t worry about me. I, the queen of ogre-tribe is hosting a vast amount of mana, if I want to, I can fire a few hundred intermediate magic skills.」
She showed a charming smile to reassure the worried Tama… but still, Shiri sounded a little proud when she told him about that.
Hearing that, Tama could finally let go of his worry, Tama shuddered as he ended up imagining Shiri, with her vast amount of mana, controlling thousands of metal organites who fired intermediate magic skills at once.
