Chapter 144: Boss Room

"Come to think of it... where did all the Komoerus go?" Enatsu inquired, stopping suddenly.

"Uhm?" – Shioko and Yoichi turned to their companion, who closed the line.

"All the Komoerus that Yoichi put on the run. They flew in this direction, right? If there's light down there, bat demons are unlikely to be in the next room. This means that we should have found them before the tunnel, wouldn't we?" showing keen intelligence and attention to every minute detail, Enatsu instilled a new doubt in the minds of his comrades.

"They probably holed up somewhere else in the dungeon while we were in the three spirits' room," Shioko superficially replied. "Or maybe they're down there waiting for us. Anyway, don't let your guard down and get ready to attack," the archer added.

"Komoerus are very sensitive to light, and their eyes retinas do not resist continuous brightness. There's something wrong with that! How can they just be... vanished into thin air?"
