Chapter 46 – The Sole Conqueror of the Dungeon (3)
***
Kwaaang!
After the last skeleton exploded, a musty smell like the smell of gunpowder stung my nose.
I looked around.
The many skeletons and fishmen disappeared, leaving the room empty.
The suppressing dew obtained from the queen’s mother was indeed a fraud.
It would make living creatures within a certain range panic and even commit suicide.
‘That’s amazing.’
However, the more creatures there were, the more mana had to be consumed, so it was difficult to use it often.
‘I need to manage mana well from now on.’
Suddenly, I saw a small ball stuck between the cracks in the floor.
‘Hmm?’
When I picked it up and looked at it, it was a charm marble.
‘Did it come from a skeleton?’
I got something I didn’t expect.
It seems that the chance of getting a charm orb increased when a thousand animals died in this room.
I smiled and put the charm beads in my pocket.
I’ll have to go to Kinzen later and ask him to process it.
‘But is there something attractive about skeletons?’
I looked away as I pondered.
I saw Aquinas and his party resting in the corner.
6 people in total.
A perfect combination of Mage, Rogue, Archer, Paladin, and Priest, including Aquinas.
They sat down on the floor, catching their breath.
I saw some people lying on their backs as if it was quite difficult.
‘They keep covering… ‘
Tumble.
I approached Aquinas in a calm manner.
Then Aquinas, who had been relaxed from exhaustion, quickly corrected his expression and stood up.
“Oh, I came here without preparation because I was in a hurry today! Originally, we rest on the weekends!”
“Who said what? I didn’t ask.”
“Inwardly, you must have thought that it was sloppy! I’m right!”
Oh my ears hurt
Why is he so mean
“No. I came to ask if you would like to continue. Will you return or will you continue?”
“Keep going! Did you really think we would just go back to something like this?”
“Then let’s take a break and go together.”
I smiled.
“All we have left is to help each other.”
After a while.
We were confronted with six cave entrances in the room of choice.
“If you enter the wrong place, you go to the wrong place?”
“Hmph, I know I’m going to get caught using a trick like this.”
Aquinas looked confidently at his fellow rogue.
“Detect where the right path is.”
“Yes, chief.”
The thief picked up stones and threw them one by one from the leftmost cave.
After putting my ear to the ground and listening carefully to the sound of the stone rolling, I took out a fine white bird feather from my pocket and measured even the slightest change in the wind blowing from inside.
At the same time, the party wizard also summoned small spirits covered in cloth and sent them into each cave one by one.
After a while, only one of them returned alive.
“My judgment is… “
“As a result of my detection… “
After consulting with each other, the thief and the wizard told Aquinas the result.
“The cave on the far right is the right path.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Wait a minute.”
“… ?”
“I’ll have to take a look too.”
You can’t blindly trust them and follow them.
Just as the name of the room is the room of choice, elimination is decided once you choose.
If I went in wrong, I might end up with the same ending, so I had to think carefully before moving.
〈 sixth sense 〉
I immediately used the hero’s ability.
As his vision blurred, the surroundings turned gray.
I looked carefully at each of the six cave entrances.
In addition, I feel that 〈 Hero’s Luck 〉 is manifested spontaneously.
A warrior who receives God’s protection has better luck than others.
For God to lead.
The odds of making the wrong choice are very low.
Jagoro Hero is an all-weather weapon born to eliminate demon lords and monsters.
Basically, the ability it has is specialized in destroying monsters.
Even if you are stuck in a dungeon maze like now, you can easily get out of it with your sixth sense and luck.
‘Found.’
Deep in the cave.
In the distance, the structure indicating the next room was yellow.
“The second cave from the left is the road.”
“What?”
Aquinas approached with a snort.
“You don’t trust us?”
“The far right cave you detected is a trap. There is a road there too, but it does not lead to the last room in the dungeon.”
“I pride myself on being the best at finding my way. What do you mean by saying that it is not this way in front of people who make a living with their detection ability?”
The male thief looked at him as if he was dumbfounded, and the female wizard also added a word.
“So far, our choices have never been wrong. More than anything, I doubt that Naru-sama’s decision came from pure judgment.”
It sounds like you’re asking if I’m tackling Aquinas for nothing because I have a competitive spirit.
“It is pure judgment. Or what?”
Laughter flowed out.
Are you conscious of Aquinas?
I’ve never thought of it like that, but I get misunderstood all the time.
“Anyway, I’m going this way. You decide whether to follow me or go that way.”
Walked alone.
Aquinas shouted from behind.
“Each of you can go and prove it yourself!”
Confident voice.
I waved my hand and said goodbye.
“Shall we make a bet to buy each other food?”
“Good night! The person who went the wrong way bought me a meal!”
“Okay. Oh one more thing. On that day, do as you are told.”
“Oh, be silly. Who knows what scares you? In addition to buying me food and doing everything I was told to do that day, I also suggest volunteering while following the adventure of the person who won for a month!”
“It will be fun. OK, let’s do that.”
I smiled and entered the second cave from the far left.
But as I went, I tilted my head.
“Something is childish. How did you end up betting with that girl? I haven’t even spoken a few times.”
We weren’t very close and didn’t even know each other very well.
It wasn’t even that bad of a relationship…
Since when did you become a competitor and become like an enemy?
He scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Anyway, if I win the bet, I’ll invite you to our academy as a special lecturer. I can buy you dinner for your trouble. Nice That’s a great idea.”
After a while, as I came out of the long passage, I saw a light.
In the end, my choice was right.
The stone door to the next room was firmly closed.
As I got closer, it opened by itself with a heavy sound.
Inside, a monster woman resembling the leadern god Shiva was waiting.
Skin color is dark brown.
The six arms hanging from the body were gripped with sad knives.
And voluptuous breasts with two nipples clearly visible.
She was first-rate for the size of her breasts.
“Are you alone?”
I asked and no answer.
“I am also single.”
When I said something similar to a movie line, it suddenly screamed and attacked fiercely.
It’s like a monster that doesn’t even know humor.
The six blades flying irregularly from all directions were very menacing.
Strong and fast
However, it is easy to deal with one monster.
I swiftly avoided the swinging blade and summoned the warrior’s sword, Langser.
In the palm of my hand, divine light rapidly gathered and began to take shape.
Soon, a long ornate longsword appeared.
Squeezing his handle, he counterattacked.
‘When I hold the sword, my strength surges even more.’
A hero’s instinct is to go into a seizure when he sees a monster.
In some ways, the instinct to destroy something might be stronger in a hero than in a monster.
Just seeing a monster makes me want to morbidly punish it.
“I will destroy the dungeon starting with you!”
Chaeeng!
The six blades and the warrior’s sword clashed.
***
Two hours had passed since Naru progressed through the dungeon alone.
“I can not believe it…”
April was blankly looking up at the crystal ball.
Naru had just defeated the six-armed female monster and was continuing the attack smoothly.
It was amazing.
Is it possible to explore a dangerous dungeon by yourself?
And without a single wound?
Without a priest?
It made no sense.
She wasn’t the only one thinking this.
All the fishmen in the square were staring up at the crystal ball in dismay, exclaiming.
“Joe, if you go a little further, this is the place where Hilar-sama went.”
“Nobody has ever been there more. That guy might end there too… “
“I don’t know anything else, but it’s amazing that I’ve gone this far.”
Naru of the Crystal Restraint was moving to the next room, solving the tasks in her room again.
She didn’t look tired from the look, not even her breathing was disturbed.
The fishmen, who had been ignoring humans for so long, were amazed and began to be in awe of a human for the first time.
“I want to applaud you for getting all the way there. At first, I thought he was an insignificant person, but I was really surprised.”
“It was all planned in the beginning. He’s a smart guy.”
“However, the next room is the room of water as I remember. That male human can’t breathe underwater like we do. Wouldn’t it drop out there?”
“I don’t have any fellow wizards to cast a water breathing spell on. He is alone At least you will be eliminated.”
It was then.
A portal suddenly opened on the main stage of the plaza, and people walked out of it.
All eyes turned to them.
“Hmm?”
Coming out of the portal with his comrades, Aquinas was delighted to find a large crowd in the plaza.
‘Did the news spread already? It’s fast.’
Aquinas cleared his throat solemnly and shrugged his shoulders.
‘They must have gathered to congratulate me, but I should accept them.’
She had just returned with her friends after defeating the monster in the last room of the dungeon.
I would have thought that the news that the dungeon raid had been completed had already spread.
‘He’s good at things.’
I will proudly accept congratulations for overcoming a difficult ordeal.
“I, Aquinas and my colleagues have done it!”
Aquinas flashed the bronze statue in his hand.
Loot from the last room.
It was a bronze statue of Micah’s owner Illar’s body.
“I proudly declare it to the world! Our Aquinas team has succeeded in clearing a dungeon that no one else has been able to achieve!”
Whoops, now it’s time to hear enthusiastic cheers and applause.
Aquinas held the bronze statue high, expecting a reaction from the crowd with a satisfied expression.
However…
Even after a long time, there is no reaction.
She looked at her audience with her puzzled face.
“What is he?”
“You don’t know?”
“I guess you really don’t know?”
Everyone was making faces and just groaning.
Someone shouted
“Hey! The path you attacked was not the path to the real ending! You came out after seeing a fake ending that the creator of the dungeon made like a trap! Haha!”
“What… ? The route we took is not the official route… ?”
Only then did Aquinas understand the situation and his face turned bright red.
As she began to laugh at her, one by one, she felt offended and kicked her on the floor and hurriedly ran down the stage.
“It’s annoying!”
In the meantime, Naru, reflected in her crystal ball, was slowly entering the water chamber.
