“Mm, I see what you meant...”

I muttered those words as I stared at the sight in front of me. Yeaaah, this is definitely gonna be a pain in the ass.

The place Carlotta had guided us to was a cemetery. Clouds obscured the dark night sky, and a thick fog drifted around us. Amid that backdrop, I could see crumbling headstones standing upright here and there in the earth.

Yup, earth. As in, solid ground.

As far as I could see, the area seemed to stretch on endlessly. I couldn’t feel the swaying of the ship at all right now, which was weird since I’d been able to since the moment we’d boarded. This was a completely different space. If I had to guess, it was probably similar to the meadow area in my dungeon. It looked like this was the only location where the demon lord added a new layer—a cemetery, no less—to his dungeon.

My Demon Eyes picked up on various magical energy signatures. Though a few of them appeared to come from monsterlike beings, most of them emanated from the ground. What were the clusters of magical energy in the earth? Why, they were traps, of course. More specifically, a shitload of traps hidden in the ground, designed to blend into the darkness to avoid detection.

“Traps, huh?”

“Indeed. We managed to verify the presence of monsters and traps alike in this dim darkness. Quite a few of them too, unfortunately.”

“Yeah, I can see that...”

My Demon Eyes allowed me to see through magical traps, either because they were constructed from magic or because they used magic to attack. They didn’t react to purely physical traps, like pitfalls, falling rocks, or spikes, though. I found it hard to believe that this cemetery only had traps of the magical variety in it, so in all probability, both types had been installed. It’d be best for me to operate under the assumption that there were just as many physical traps here as there were magical ones.

“Do you have any proof that the path beyond the cemetery connects to the demon lord?”

“According to Lord Griff, the marks they made on their last expedition still remain. Do I have that right, Lord Griff.”

“Yes, they’re still there exactly as we left them. Although, obviously, this cemetery wasn’t here last time. Back then, the path led us straight to the stratum master’s room, but this time around, it’s definitely possible that there’ll be nothing up ahead regardless.”

With that, Griff tapped on the wall outside the door leading to the cemetery, on the side that still resembled a normal ship. There, I saw a mark drawn in what looked to be chalk. By making these notations, he and his party could distinguish the paths they’d already taken from the ones they hadn’t on their previous campaign. Reyes and Lulour had done the same thing this time too, right up until we’d reached this spot.

“Oho... Master, I’m dead certain this is one of the marks we left last time on account of the stratum master up ahead.
