Chapter 1228 – The Stinky Land
“Where are you going?”
The mineral demon king barely suppressed his anger and asked, and Veil passed him by, ignoring it.
Sarob, who did not know how to answer the question, had blood vessels in his forehead.
“…Doesn’t he answer?”
“Ah?”
The veil reacted fiercely to the dispute that could not be ignored, and the demon kings hurriedly intervened between the two.
“Stop! Stop!! Mineral demon king! Remember Anito’s command!”
“I’m questioning him because I’m considering his orders first!! What the hell did you think about going to see Yeodere?!”
Bale cleared his ear with a dog barking face and said,
“I did everything with a thought, so keep your mouth shut. The only thing I know how to do is fight.”
“…Do you want to go behind?”
“Ha? Do you have the ability to kill?”
“You bastard…!”
What do you believe in?
I know that rankers have become so strong that they are strong enough to be on par with most demon lords as well as hybrid demon lords.
But that’s only true of the rankers of the not-so-funny organization called the ‘Yodere Alliance’ who had been with Yeodere.
Hasn’t this guy been held captive for a long time?
‘What do you believe in me?’
Unlike the demon king of minerals, who was dumbfounded, Bale was really confident in defeating Sarob.
Because he was dropped to prevent Eight Days, he gained countless ‘powers’.
‘I can kill not only this idiot with eyes, but even that monstrous bastard.’
Bale is someone who can objectively evaluate his abilities. That’s why he was able to become a ranker even though he was a mother.
He was convinced that if he mixed the powers he had obtained from the gods, he could kill not only the demon king in front of him, but also eight days.
Okay. Eight days…
Creepy.
…The pain of rising, peeling nails, peeling skin.
And Dre’s… Laughter.
Excellent number. Veil, who had goosebumps all over his body, bit his teeth and glared at the demon king of minerals.
“Don’t be irritating. Don’t you know you’re in a weak position right now? You asshole.”
“…!!”
The mineral demon king’s eyes shone dangerously.
In a dangerous sight that seems like lasers will pour down at any moment. It was Sarob who retreated first.
“…I will kill you when this mission is over.”
“Hah? What are you talking about, you idiot.
“Kuh…!”
Because of Anito’s order, the demon king can’t bear to attack and inflames his veins.
Bale sighed and said confidently.
“Don’t worry too much. Eight days you worry about will die in my hands.”
***
Next day.
I woke up in the dark of dawn and headed towards the heart of the stinky land.
Today, it was just a light reconnaissance, and the dwarves decided to remain on the ground.
The Dwarves’ strength was not weak, but there was no need to risk unnecessary casualties.
My daughter-in-law insists on going with me just in case. Lena was also left alone.
I was worried about her, and the one who was optimized to protect the dwarves in case of emergency was Mari, who could strike a defensive line with her powerful divine power, or she was the child who called countless spirits.
“Our purpose is to find the blueprints for the Paranormal Giant.
At the end of the talk, Kitz applied buffs to everyone and we moved without speaking for a while.
There was a deep, deep cliff in the center of the depths.
I was amazed at the magnificent scenery of nature.
“Wow. It’s so cool, isn’t it?”
“Is it cool? I’ve seen it before, but it’s a little creepy.”
Rabband grumbled.
Kitsch looked closely at the valley.
There were monsters pretending to be minerals hiding here and there, but there didn’t seem to be any major problems.
“Let’s jump.”
Kitsu jumped first, and we followed suit.
Whoops-!
The cliff was very deep.
It was only when I felt that I had fallen about 1000m that I could see the bottom.
Booooong! Our bodies floated up and landed lightly before hitting the floor with a scholar-type technique.
“It’s shallower than I thought, isn’t it?”
The intangible turned his arms around and looked around.
I stood next to him and sympathized with his words.
“I see. Doesn’t sound like much for a notorious danger zone?”
At that moment, wanting to show off his war knowledge, Kaiwegan, a crazy bastard, came to us.
[Kaitsu-kun, don’t speak ill of me.]
…!
Don’t, don’t Rather than me right now… Are you siding with Kitz?
I hate you!
[Gulp Gulp.]
[Disgusting. You.]
After a long time, I felt better when I heard the disgraceful voice of Chinten.
Seeing Kitz, he opened her mouth.
“This is the first stage.”
“…? Level 1?”
“The land of stench has a total of five levels of cliffs.”
“…Oh.”
It’s a thrilling setting.
It’s like a dungeon. No. Is it a dungeon?
“Of course, the deeper the zone, the more demonic energy, which affects the strength of the monsters. If you meet a boss-level monster at level 5… But you’ll have to be a little careful.”
“Okay. Let’s go quickly.”
Phase 1 was a lot more modest than I thought.
There were a lot of monsters, but most of them were caught, so Garcinido flashed once! When it made a sound and disappeared as lightning, everything was broken.
The psychopathic intangible bastard, who had been smiling at the thought of redressing the beast, stumbled and hit me with his elbow and whispered.
“Hey. Why did he grow so tall?”
“That’s right… Keuug…! If it wasn’t for Garcinido, we’d be hitting kits and playing…!”
At that time, Marie made a very displeased face.
“Who are you hitting now?”
Intangible shut his mouth.
Mari is annoyed, but I feel very good and it’s because she only spreads arguments. The intangible couldn’t do it carelessly.
And I quietly approached Marie and whispered in her ear.
“Don’t nag. Now this is your chance.”
“…? A chance?”
“Uh huh. You look like such an innocent sister. Look around you.”
The land darkened by demonic energy and the minerals that grotesquely sprouted from the land.
“Like a normal woman, yaaaaa!! I’m going to be hugged by Katz while being scared.”
“…!! How can you do such a vulgar thing…!”
“Uh huh! Don’t you believe me?!”
“Who’s your brother!”
That moment. Kitz looked at us intently.
To provoke him, I laughed and tried to stroke Marie’s hair…
Chakiing-!
She brought her hand to her waist, drew her sword, and looked up at her.
Sasa sasa sasa…
The sound of shooting over a cliff.
…Very secretive.
Even more so than the transparent lizard or the secretive Shinigami.
“It’s the boss level.”
Said Katz.
“Probably a tanzanite spider.”
“Are you a spider?”
“Yes. It’s very stealthy and has super poison. If you get bitten, even you won’t be safe, so be careful.”
“Hmm.”
Hearing that, are you expecting more?
The spider guy’s presence had completely disappeared.
Marie, who didn’t notice her guy at all, shrugged her shoulders as if it was a bit spooky, and Kaitsu stared at her and then stood next to her.
“Marie. You are the only agent who can heal super poison. Beside me, make your own protection a top priority.”
“Yes, yes… Hero…!”
Mari was delighted and clung to Kaitsu.
What a pleasing sight.
“But the bosses seemed to have some intelligence, but don’t they have a coward? Why are they here?”
They should know that four of their colleagues are dead.
Even so, she is still in the introductory part, not in the deep part where she can change strongly?
Going around right in front of the guys who killed your co-workers?
“If it were me, I would hold my breath in the 5th stage to save the advantage.”
“It’s not like he didn’t learn the danger. The Tanzanite Spider seems to be on a reconnaissance mission.”
“And.” Katz added.
“As you said, there are two boss-level entities that will never appear in stage 5.”
“Two?”
“Diamond Knight. In terms of strength, he is unrivaled even among the bosses… But the most annoying one is the next guy. The ruby order.”
Ruby order?
I think I know what he’s doing just by hearing his name.
“Is he commanding the Witchbeasts?”
“That’s right. The Ruby Order can be said to be a commander entity that commands the Witchbeasts.”
Kaitsu is also a very cautious guy, to the extent that he went through a hard time killing him in his previous life.
“Oh? Then, if I kill him, is the land of stench complete?”
“It’s a Commander object, but it’s a by-product born in the land of stench, just like other Demon Beasts. Well… If you get rid of the Ruby Order, it will take a long time for the next Commander object to be born.”
Right.
“If I can get rid of him, at least this investigation will be very comfortable. If I can, I’d like to get rid of the Ruby Order today.”
I’m ho He nodded and tapped the intangible.
“That’s right intangible. Go and assassinate me.”
“What.”
“Looking at it, it seems that even the monsters can’t catch your presence. Isn’t that a reasonable strategy?”
“Learn the way.”
What is this baby.
If you learn a little bit, did you really try to assassinate yourself?
Anyway, a bastard who is crazy about assassination…
The first stage came to an end shortly after, and real minerals began to be seen around them, not monsters disguised as minerals.
Perhaps those are the minerals that the dwarves gather.
“How many levels do dwarves usually gather?”
Kaiwegan answered this time as well.
“Up to level 3. Level 4 sometimes goes in, but… It’s so dangerous that it’s very rare. In the history as a whole, there are people who have entered level 5 or higher.”
“Hmm? What’s that about?”
Level 5 is level 5 or higher than level 5?
“It’s a story close to a legend. It is said that a certain Dwarf who wanted to create a supreme masterpiece recklessly entered the stinky land to obtain a rare mineral.”
It is dangerous even if they come in an army unit, and sometimes, even the army is annihilated by the boss, what could an individual do?
The unknown dwarf lost all the weapons he had brought and was chased, and then he fell deeper and deeper inside, and then fell again. It is said that he suffered wounds all over his body, and finally fell down a hole in a desperate situation where even his reinforced suit ran out of energy.
And found it there.
A lump as big as a house.
God’s metal.
Rokukuru’s metal.
“Uh…? That…”
“Yes. This is the prize you received at the production meeting and exhibition.”
The unknown dwarf returned with an armful of God’s metal.
For some reason, on the way back, the magic beasts didn’t even shine, and the dwarf himself was sure that he would never be attacked.
The dwarves who saw the metal he was carrying thought it safe.
Because. God’s metal made the dwarves’ hearts flutter just by looking at it, and it seemed like they would be protected by everything… It was the crystallization of their faith.
“At that time, the nameless Dwarf brought the god’s metal, and they said it was the size of a single human. The fact that we bet that precious thing as a prize in this event is the utmost respect for us.”
Almiraz, who had been listening quietly, asked a question.
“It’s that good. Didn’t you go looking for more?”
“Of course, an expedition was sent to find the metal of the god. However, even after risking their lives to go through the 5th stage, they could not find the metal of Rokukuru.”
It is said that the same was true of the Hero party.
Kaitsu, who was in a hurry at the time, desperately searched for a weapon made of the god’s metal, but said that he found no god’s metal even though he found a good mineral.
Haha. I have weapons made by that goddess.
“At the time, I passed it on, convincing that it was just a legend, but eight days. Considering your quest, there is a high possibility that Rokukuru’s metal is somewhere here.”
“Ohh. That’s what motivates me.”
Treasure hunt. Good.
In addition to Rokukuru’s metal, it is said that there are various items hidden in the Land of Stink like a dungeon.
It would be fun to find it too.
There are many really unique minerals, so it’s fun to collect them.
We walked again quickly after agreeing that treasures or rare minerals should belong to the seeker.
Entered stage 2.
From the second stage, it is said that minerals that can only be obtained here in the world grow.
Indeed. When I looked at the minerals around me, they were overflowing with mana, so they were glowing.
The dwarves didn’t come out of the barrier and enter this dangerous place for no reason.
The second stage was even darker, with awl-like black rocks sprouting here and there, so it was very bizarre, but expensive minerals that were more than enough to cover the bizarreness were also sprouting here and there.
Still, it’s not rare enough to gather at our level, so we move quickly. Entered stage 3.
And as soon as I entered, I noticed something strange.
“…? What is that?”
Humanoid robots scattered here and there created a bleak atmosphere against the backdrop of darkness and shallow lighting from magic stones.
“They said it was a Dwarf exploration robot that came to gather in the past. It couldn’t escape to the ground and entered the depths before it collapsed from exhaustion.”
“…Bizarre.”
Robots that have been corroded and have been ripped off, with internal parts visible, are leaning or lying here and there.
Just looking at the visuals, I don’t think it would be strange to get up and attack right away.
“Don’t worry. I was wondering if Magi would attack with bad synergy. It didn’t happen.”
“Okay…?”
“Don’t be distracted by that. The rover will be able to see a lot up to level 5.”
Kitz moved forward as if his steps were in a hurry.
Perhaps wary of our strength, the monsters pretended to be minerals and did not attack.
Step 4 went by too quickly.
I was able to quickly find the entryway to the next level in this wide place with the knowledge of my previous life.
We eventually reach level 5.
The cliff reached at the end of the descent of about 5000M was very dark.
Kitz created a sun-like sphere in front of him and illuminated the surroundings brightly.
“You can say that the 5th level is real. This place is very vast.”
It would be several times bigger than Enthiaer.
It is said that it is because of these 5 levels that the land of stench is evaluated as the size of the empire.
“But our purpose for today is set. Everyone follow me.”
Kitz applied stronger buffs to everyone, Marie additionally applied buffs, and even scholar-types tore up the magic to maximize their movement speed.
I ran out carrying Almiraz, whose skills were difficult to use.
Even at our literal bullet-fast speed, after a considerable distance, we reached the end…
“…Hole?”
Yes.
A gaping hole.
There was a hole the size of a spacious department store parking lot in the floor.
And there… I can feel the presence of the demonic beast, though weak.
“This is the only place in our previous lives where we gave up on exploring… To be precise, it’s a place we couldn’t explore. Intangible. Eight days. Garcini too. Follow me.”
At the end of his words, Kitz threw a small sun into the hole and jumped down, and we followed suit.
The hole… Literally reminded me of the word abyss.
The top was dark, but I guess this is black itself, blacker than darkness.
And in that black. A wall full of minerals…
Blah blah blah blah.
Minerals sprung up and became huge jaws, ready to bite us with their razor-sharp teeth. Powerful demonic energy overflowed from his teeth.
“Be careful. There are countless numbers of these all over the walls. If bitten, even the strongest Garcinido will not be safe.”
Indeed. I feel that the level is different from the monsters so far.
Yes, but
Intangible and I took out our swords with warlike smiles.
Quarreung-! Flash-!
The sound of the drums rang, and the pup pup pup pup pup! Even the Demonic Beast below exploded and scattered as fragments of jewels.
“…Oh. It’s fast, isn’t it?”
“Her.”
Intangible and I admired Garcinido.
After all, that’s the hero who fought in Thunder’s Trial. It is a technology of clear technology.
Did you gain divine power and fully master the technology of the clear sky?
The dream of bullying the kits is getting farther and farther away.
By the way… Garcinido stopped in mid-air.
It didn’t seem like he was using any means, but it felt natural, as if he were standing on the floor.
We too soon reached the void where Garcinido stood, and soon felt a strange sensation.
I’m sure it didn’t get stuck on my feet, but for some reason I was able to stand up and walk.
“I don’t think it’s a transparent wall…”
“Oh?”
The moment we stood out from the intangible voice, the world turned upside down and we fell upward.
We came out of the hole we jumped into first, then reversed again and floated over the hole.
“This…”
“Like this. It just repeats the fall in an endless reversal.”
Kitz tried his best to see if there was something in the darkness below, but he couldn’t go any deeper.
After contracting with God and gaining the power of perception, he investigated, but realized that there was nothing down there and gave up the exploration.
“There are a few places in Elyunar that seem to have been abandoned after trying to make them into quest places for strangers. I thought this place was just like that. But…”
In the end, the most suspicious place in the land of stench was here,” Said Kitz, looking at me.
And I… Wondered.
“…You said you didn’t feel anything after examining it with the authority of a god?”
“? I did.”
Perhaps thinking that I was to blame, Garcinido cautiously stepped forward.
“Gong Dre. The hero really did his best at that time.”
“No. Not even Garcinius. I’m not trying to say anything… I can feel something down there very clearly right now.”
The two made surprised faces.
“Under there… I can feel Hest’s Ryunar.”
That moment.
Tring!
