I Returned， but the Reverse World 403

Chapter 403 – 35. Saving Adlen Party

Although there was some misunderstanding, Adlen’s thoughts were not wrong.

The way to conquer Dolumuz Dungeon.

The source of the enormous magical power that maintained the vast desert world was underground.

It was written in the records of the demon Gashir, and Thaum thought that the way to the underground was through a cave.

The oasis is a trap that convinces us that there is something else, and the cave is the real path.

The problem was that there were not just one or two caves in the desert, but all of them were blocked.

“It’s dirty here too.”

“Ha, is this nonsense again?”

The Succubus Queen and King Thaum of Gashir left the cave.

It’s already the fifth time.

There must be a cave connected underground somewhere, but it wasn’t easy to find.

“Is it really a cave?”

“Okay.”

The movement abilities of the two demons were excellent.

One has wings and the other can fly without consuming much energy.

Thanks to this, I was able to travel around the desert at high speed and find five caves, but even so, the dungeon was spacious.

Once the root of the dungeon was solved, there was no need to escape, so I wandered around, but that is now reaching its limits.

We haven’t progressed all the way in one direction, and now it’s unclear which way to look.

“Ah, I’m getting tired. How much more do I have to look for?”

“…”

“Why don’t you talk? We can go out.”

“… It is there. You just have to find the seeds.”

“Ah, really. I didn’t believe you.”

Tarum rose into the sky, ignoring the Succubus Queen grumbling next to her.

Garrosh’s unique ability to fly by emitting energy under his feet and floating in the air.

Although no one is as skilled as King Tarum, Garrosh is a very useful skill.

“It’s definitely wider than I thought.”

This is more than the power of the Sun Seed that he knows.

Maybe there is another energy source, or maybe the seeds evolved in a different direction.

For example, it absorbs mana, artifacts, etc. From those who died in the dungeon.

‘My bone hurts.’

The situation is not very good.

If everything went as expected, I thought I would be able to find it and leave in a week.

But now, time wasn’t the issue; instead, I had to worry about whether I would be able to obtain the Seed of the Sun.

If it had matched what was in the record, it would have been easy to touch, but looking at it now, it seemed difficult.

‘Just in case, humans first… No. I was in a hurry, so I imagined something crazy without realizing it.’

It’s not that I’m particularly ignoring humans, but the situation is literally no different from looking for a needle in the desert.

Even the SS-class hero party we saw earlier was shipwrecked and scattered. Is that possible?

‘There’s no way around it.’

Although it had no nose, the demon snorted and moved to another place.

“Huh? Hey! Where are you going? Let’s go together!”

Everyone hurts more when their trust is betrayed.

Whether it is a person or a god.

“Is this right, Miko?”

“I’m sorry.”

Rescue day 7.

Siu and his group, joined by Agna and Luang, walked through the desert, trusting Miko’s intuition.

And the threat of the dungeon suddenly began.

It is still at a minor level and cannot be a hindrance, let alone a threat, but it was a nuisance.

“But… My intuition tells me it must be okay.”

“Hmm.”

When she speaks with such confidence, I can’t ask any more questions.

Since they have already been found, it is difficult to be suspicious.

“Don’t the gods have some intention?”

After setting up the barracks and resting for a moment, the Geumin warrior Luang defended Miko.

It was a belief that made me think that they were believers of twin gods rather than the main religion.

“Yes, that’s possible. Haha. But I don’t know the intention, so…”

“There won’t be any problems. We’ve never had a disaster this minor.”

“Hmm? Indeed, that is some meaningful information.”

While Siwoo, Miko, and Luang gather to discuss the future.

The remaining three became close friends and gathered in one corner to chat.

“Ah, I see! Belluna was in the empire, right? Yes, I heard about it too.”

“Huh? Me? We’re Class A. I don’t think Gina, the hero, would know…”

“Well, it’s okay to say this, but my mother’s work is somewhat famous.”

“Aha.”

“And what happened with Siu after that… Hehe.”

“Ugh. Don’t laugh like that. It’s kind of embarrassing.”

Mostly, Rosaline just listens and the other two talk.

Still, she also occasionally participated in the conversation, and it was obvious at a glance that she was closer to Bell Luna than before.

It’s all thanks to the sociable Agna who served as a stepping stone between the two.

Differently than Rouen, she was capable.

The type of person who you want to have at least one person in your party, who makes the party get along well and becomes the center of conversation just by being there.

Knowing that, Han Si-woo and Luang didn’t bother to touch that area.

“Okay. Then let’s go again.”

“I understand.”

Soon the party moved the barracks and resumed movement.

I can know the direction of where to go, but I don’t know the distance.

So, it was necessary to keep moving and join the remaining four as quickly as possible.

I felt a little tired as a day or two passed, but the pace actually picked up momentum.

Fortunately, the dungeon attacks that started in the first week continued but did not increase in level.

Since the intensity was maintained at a moderately annoying level, there was no hesitation in moving forward.

And finally.

“… Huh? What are you?”

“Wow! Wow! Adlen! Otan!”

I was able to find an SS-class warrior and a half-orc monk. No, we were able to meet.

Considering Miko’s abilities, it may not have been a coincidence, but the two were also coming from the direction they were heading.

It may have changed direction midway, but it was getting closer to the dungeon entrance.

Agna is jumping up and down and hugging Adlen and Otan’s necks, as if she was happy to be reunited after such a long time.

Son Ren left her troublesome colleague behind and looked at Han Si-wu with complicated eyes.

“Are you a rescue team?”

“Yes. At Glaser’s request.”

“I couldn’t believe it, but really… Ha. They managed to find us.”

“A powerful compass, hmm. It had God’s protection.”

“…?”

There is a need to explain Miko’s abilities, but I postponed that until later.

First, two barracks were quickly opened to sort out the current situation.

One for rest, the other for discussion.

There were four people gathered in the latter barracks: Siu, Miko, Adlen, and Rouen.

“Bindo isn’t feeling well, so I’m going to take a nap for a bit.”

“Yeah, I don’t need you, so I’ll just take a rest.”

A harsh tone, but a voice full of affection.

Agna chuckled, muttering that she was still the same, and took Otan with her into the resting barracks.

As they took out a square table and sat down, Adlen was the first to open his mouth.

“You guys. We’re going to save the remaining two and go out.”

“I would like to get another side if possible, but… It would be better to leave first.”

“One more?”

Rouen, sitting next to me, announced the presence of Michael’s rescue team with a wry smile.

“Ha. It’s very different. That guy thought I would have an accident someday.”

“We can’t just leave it as is, so we have to save it if we can. Anyway, let’s skip that, what is the purpose of the question I just asked?”

“… Let’s go and conquer the dungeon.”

“Yes?”

“Adelene. What is that…”

The warrior’s words even shocked her colleagues, who were always calm.

Because of insufficient information, they were unable to do anything and were caught up in an unexpected disaster.

Fortunately, four of the six were gathered thanks to the rescue team, but two were not found yet.

I don’t know how long it will take, but let’s finish clearing the dungeon and leave.

“Is there a reason?”

Si-woo did not refuse outright but first asked about the situation.

She said that because of her son Ren’s personality, he would do whatever she asked him to do, but she was very talkative, so she knew what to say.

At least Rouen was worried about that, but unexpectedly, she hesitated for a moment and then apologized.

“… Sorry. It’s just my opinion. It’s because of my pride.”

“…?! Adlen. You surprised me several times today.”

“Ugh. Si, so loud, Rouen!”

Adlen, who was honest, was quite cute.

Even though he’s saying something insignificant, the way he tickles with a bright red face strangely suits him well.

Although she had a personality that suited Mesugaki, she also had a kind side that wasn’t childlike.

“You just thought something strange.”

“Not at all. Rather than that, Mr. Adlen, is there a way to attack him?”

Adlen’s stomach pointed down.

“It’s underground. The source of the dungeon is underground.”

“How do you do that…”

“I wasn’t feeling well until recently and suffered from a fever. At that time, my entire body’s magic power became sensitive, and I felt a strong energy coming from below. I don’t know exactly where it was, but if it was an endless desert like this, of course the answer would be the sky or the underground.”〈 Br〉

Personal impressions.

It also assumes that it is when he is sick, but Adlen is an SS-level warrior.

If we were to simply control her magical power, she was the most skilled among the four SS classes.

As her basis was thin, it was entirely their choice whether to believe her or not, and Si-woo decided to believe her.

“Okay, but if it’s underground, how do I get there?”

“I think it’s a cave. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen it, but there are caves in this desert other than oases. But the cave…”

The end of her words were blurred, but I could understand what she was trying to say.

In the end, the task for conquering the dungeon was to find the right path, even if it was underground or a cave.

But if it were easy, Dolumuz would never have entered the four major dungeons.

“It’s a cave that goes underground.”

Siwoo also wanted to finish clearing the dungeon and leave if she could.

Due to the nature of the subspace dungeon, once the attack is completed, the people inside are automatically ejected, so there is no need to look for Michael’s rescue team.

If you attack Adlen first before finding the other two in the party, you can save time.

Siwoo naturally turned his gaze to Miko.

“What do you think?”

“I don’t know.”

The shaman spoke clearly.

“My power is limited to intuition. It’s so comprehensive that I don’t have the ability to find exactly what I want. I’ll point out a direction somewhere, but I don’t know who or what I’m looking for.”

“Well.”

“Aha, indeed. They said she was a shaman from Futashima, and she was a famous prophetess.”

Miko bowed her head as she looked at herself curiously.

Her son Ren also concluded by once again bowing to the mouth of her god.

“If it doesn’t work, there’s nothing we can do. First, let’s find the remaining two.”

That’s how the rescue team’s meeting ended.

Without knowing that something like that might happen the next day.
