Depths Of Palm

*Roar!

Tons of wyverns could be seen on the sky, the group was already walking around the ground, they could go up on the mountain but it was a pain in the ass to fly over, their number was just too much, they then arrived below the mountain.

"Wow! It looks sick!" Naotsugu commented.

"We have passed here many times, but this is the first time we have seen it from this perspective," Shiroe commented.

In front of them was the entrance towards a tunnel, it looked quite old so it looked dangerous, this is the depths of palm, it was the normal way to pass by that huge mountain that seemed like it was as tall as mount fuji, it's called the TearStone Mountain.

"Let's go!" Kanami said excitedly.

Entering inside, they were greeted by huge towering pillars and some of them had cracks and the others just simply were destroyed, Eri and Akatsuki went ahead to look for enemies.

"Reporting… No enemies in sight," Akatsuki said.

"Well, Akatsuki-chan no need to be so serious," Bang said to her.

"I'm only doing my duty," Akatsuki said before disappearing.

"She is very serious on her job," Reigen commented.

"Yeah, she is," Sora nodded.

"Let's go ahead, Shiroe lead the way," Tanaka commented.

Shiroe nodded and started navigating around the tunnel, it was very dark so the mage's on the team had to put out light magic so they could see the place, though, Mizumi still insists on not using any magic other than water element.

It's been 1 and a half day since they left Akihabara and go towards Susukino, it was very far actually, Tanaka looked around the place and it's like a maze of ancient tunnels, there are also mine shafts around, put Zoro here, I'm sure he will cut his way through this place.

Walking around the place, the path gets narrower and narrower, it was also getting dangerous as there was a chance for the path they were taking to crumble, it's so ancient that it's falling apart, just as they were walking around.

"Tanaka-dono enemies," Akatsuki said.

Tanaka and the others looked around and found a group of rats looking like monsters, they are rat men, one of the many demi humans in the ElderTale, they were packed together like sardines and were staring at them like they were the prey.

"Let me take care of this Master," Mizumi said as she raised her staff.

"You idiot stop!" Tanaka yelled.

Mizumi who was about to cast a spell stopped and looked confused.

"If you cast a spell now, there will be a high chance that our path will also crumble, not letting us go forward, and we will have to look for an alternative way," Sora commented.

"Don't do anything recklessly, I'm scared of heights!" Reigen yelled at her.

*Grumble!

The place started shaking as the voice of Reigen echoed around the tunnel, rubbles started falling from the above them and the shaking got stronger and stronger, the rat men had already ran away when Reigen yelled, Tanaka turned his head and looked at the group behind him.

"What are we going to do Tanaka?" Ains asked as he looked around warily.

"There is only one thing we could do…Use your power, use your strength! N-I-G-E-RUNDAYO!!" Tanaka immediately turned around and ran at a very fast speed.

"Shiro let's go! Uwooohhh!!"Sora started running.

Everyone was delayed to react for a bit before they also started running forward, "Everyone Run as fast as you can!" Bang yelled at the group.

"…"

"Haaaa…. This place seems safe," Naotsugu commented as they were sitting on the side of a dam, they lit up fire and decided to rest for now, Maou had taken out his portable kitchen while the others waited for him.

"That was bad of you Tanaka, how could you leave me behind," Kanami said as she hugged Tanaka's back.

"You can run," Tanaka said.

"But at least you could have helped me," Kanami said, pouting, her forwards towards Tanaka had already gone from 1 to 80, she sometimes would kiss him on the cheeks, clearly showing her affection towards him, she also would go overboard sometimes but the female servants would block her.

A little while later, Akatsuki and Eri arrived after patrolling the area.

"The place is safe Tanaka-dono," Akatsuki said.

"Thanks for the hard work," everyone greeted them back.

As Tanaka was resting he suddenly received a call from Nyanta, he then answered the call.

"Hellonya," a gentleman voice came from the other side, (The Japanese version)

"What's the problem Nyanta-san?" Tanaka asked.

"Are you closenya?" Nyanta asked.

"Probably another 3 to 4 days," Tanaka replied.

"Then I would make a feast when you arrive nya," Nyanta said.

"Is anything else?" Tanaka asked.

"I found Serarachi nya," Nyanta said.

"Oh, that is good, it won't take our time looking for her." Tanaka said.

"Also there is this tyrant of the Susukino, his name is Demikas, I could beat him alone, but I guess you wanted to take care of him right nya?" Nyanta said.

"You know me well, I want to see those Tyrants fall," Tanaka said.

After talking for a while, Tanaka hung up and joined the group who was already eating.
