Chapter 40 – 10. The Mine Dungeon. (2)
After a short break, the group moved again, this time in two lines.
The moment I realized that this place had already been taken over, the air felt even more bloody. For some reason, I think that a monster may be crouching somewhere invisible in the dark, aiming for them….
However, if the tension is too excessive, it could rather catch the ankle. So Allen periodically looked back at her crew and cracked a light joke.
“Are your bodies okay? I’m so shaken I’ll drop my balls or milk. Check it out.”
Then, a small smile came out and the rigid body relaxed a little. I can’t fight directly, so I have to manage my mentality that way. If you’re in a [Confusion] State, you’ll be in trouble. … Demetrius in particular will have to pay a little more attention.
The group walked for a while and arrived at the second cavity. The musty air inside the mine mixed with the stench and gave off a strange smell. It feels like my lungs are being polluted every time I breathe…. They couldn’t hold their breath, so they had no choice but to swallow the bad air. Because of that, the mercenaries spat on the floor more often.
Because they had a history of facing monsters in previous cavities, the group’s steps were a little more cautious. But this time fortunately there was nothing. Viola confirmed that the surroundings were clean and ordered to rest again.
The crew members, who were sitting on the floor as if they were already tired, didn’t speak much anymore. Living in a burrow without sunlight was definitely different from other missions. Allen, too, was acutely feeling it.
…… Seriously, it sucks…….
I think I know why the status penalty is bigger than other missions. I’ve just started, but already the shit is creeping up.
However, would it be okay if the leader, who should be an example, sagged? Allen’s pink pussy… , No, she forcibly exerted herself for the future. …… It’s an unavoidable characteristic of this damn body….
“Break is over!”
Again, the break was short. Ayu Sea Pearl. Here and there, as if lamenting over his own situation, thick double-jerking burst out.
“I dug so fucking deep. Seriously, if this is enough, I’ll go to hell alive.”
“Keuhehe, it’s a bit fucking too much to just blame the monster.”
Everyone laughed a little. Allen was a bit sympathetic. He didn’t even know it was this deep.
And finally, the third joint came out. Before the viola could enter jointly, she raised her hand. The people following them came to a halt as if they were waving.
The mercenaries killed even the slightest breath. Rather, the sound of my heart beating louder.
Viola’s eyes took pictures of several places in the dark at once. A total of three monsters were caught by her monster-like sensitivity. Probably all three of the same species. So they are peacefully gathered in one space like this.
She turned around and snapped three places with her finger. Then, the personnel quietly entered the cavity.
As a rough rule of thumb, she divided them into thirds and queued them in each direction. They also had time to roll on this floor, so they understood it roughly with their eyes without having to say it.
After confirming that she was ready for battle, right before she could give the next order, the monster suddenly rushed in with a grotesque cry.
Fuck this.
“Come, get ready!”
Allen immediately called his men to prepare for battle. Still, not all of them were mercenaries once or twice, so they lined up without panic.
And when they saw a monster through the dim light, they rushed at the mercenaries in an instant.
ㅡㅡ!!
Rough beating. A few mercenaries right in front of Allen’s mercenary group were blown away and crashed into the wall and the ground. It wasn’t a fatal wound, but it seemed difficult to return to combat right away because of the shock.
It was a monster that looked like a lizard. Allen knew right away.
A monster that pops out of the dungeon when bored and has the best fertility. Allogra-.
Compared to other monsters, it is not a very powerful species, but it is one of the troublesome monsters due to its large number and agility. Moreover, if you think it’s dangerous, you won’t look back and run away, so if you miss it, you’ll suffer and get angry because you can’t even get experience points. Of course, there won’t be any experience points here, but if you miss it, you’ll get the same heat.
Since they were so famous, some sophomores who recognized their identity put spells on the crew to counter them at the point of attack. Allen also instructed the same.
“Don’t chase him, and if he attacks, fight back!”
The guy who fell back after the torso headbutt ran towards the mercenaries again. Apparently, an ax would be much more effective than a sword or blunt weapon, so the old dogs, Kalisman and Cabriodi, stood in the first row. As soon as they collided with him, they cut the flesh with their axes while minimizing the impact as much as possible with their round shields.
“Chuck, chew… !”
And the rest of the mercenaries who were waiting rushed at once and attacked the monster’s front and hind legs first. After blocking the movement like that, I beat and crushed the body of the monster who was struggling.
“Huuuuu!”
After turning one guy into porridge like that, Allen looked at the other places, and it seems that he took care of them in about the same time. Once the battle seemed to be over, Allen instructed Demetris to treat the men and approached Viola.
The sorcerers gathered in front of her as she wiped off the liquid on her sword with her rag, and each reported the damage. Fortunately, no one died or was unable to move.
She said, “Okay. Take a long break this time. They say there is a hole in the next passage leading to the dungeon. … Of course, you shouldn’t relax. You never know when the monsters will come. Got it?”
“Yes, Danju.”
“Dissolution.”
Allen returned to the side of the crew who were already resting on the floor. After a long break, he decided to have a meal. Of course, speaking of meals, it’s all about dried meat.
“Syipal, it’s so hard. I’m going to get my teeth out. Weaving is also weaving.”
The superstitious Nola muttered that while chewing on jerky without a taste bud. Demetris also forced herself to eat, as if it didn’t suit her taste, but ended up taking two bites.
Surprisingly, no matter what the patriarch ordered, he steadfastly followed it without any complaint or dislike. As for Allen, she was definitely a woman destined to be big, and she was a brash mind. If he grows up well like this, he will be able to lead the mercenary corps as an assistant manager even when he is absent for a short time.
Because the break was a bit long, the crew took turns sleeping for a while. It’s a short sleep, but it looks like I’ll live for a while.
After a while, the viola shouted, “The break is over again.” The mercenaries groaned as they forcibly lifted their heavy buttocks.
Actually, this was just a taste of the dungeon. Now it’s time to enter the real monster’s den. The crowd knew that, so the tension was definitely different.
There were several roads in the cavity, and a guide led me to one of them. Perhaps it was a new hole, the aisle became noticeably narrower than before.
After entering the passage like that and going a little further, I finally saw a black hole like the jaws of hell. The entrance was as large as the aisle. Originally, it wouldn’t have been that wide, but it must have been shaved off as monsters kept coming and going.
Viola deliberately stopped once in front of the dungeon entrance. Be careful, or be nervous, he didn’t say that, but by pausing once, he threw a silent warning.
The group entered the dungeon slowly. The aisle was located about a child’s height above the floor. Fortunately, it was like a slightly curved ramp, so I didn’t have to jump down.
Allen went down, escorted by Kalisman. And she was momentarily mesmerized by the size of the monster’s den, which was beyond her imagination. If the passageway is this big, how big is the whole?
… Jonah is big… ?
It must have been a den of monsters that had existed for a long time. … Allen first thought that it must be fucking hard to purify this place. There were a lot of expressions saying, “I’m sorry that other people were thinking the same thing.”
And the choice of two paths, front and back, encountered from the beginning.
Viola decided to divide the group into two groups of six to facilitate his mission. Still, with fifty people, you’ll be able to handle most situations on your own.
The crowd was so divided. Allen-Mercenary Corps decided to go the same way as Viola-Mercenary Corps.
“Six days later. In just six days, we will meet at the former joint.”
The two groups flipped the one-day hourglass at the same time. If this is reversed five more times, it will be the last sixth.
“Bray for bad luck.”
“Then, see you in six days.”
The two groups moved in opposite directions.
A weak believer, Dmitris clasped his hands together and prayed fervently.
Please, I hope there is no big deal.
And this time
Allen felt the same way.
