Chapter 43 – 10. The Mine Dungeon. (5)
There was no objection. Alex, who was lost in thought for a moment, also willingly acted like a member of the crew, as if he was following his opponent’s will.
Allen first glanced around the large space filled with slime. … When I came to my senses, there were not just one or two aisles that they fell through. Dozens of them just catch my eye. Everywhere where slime was piled up like a toad’s nest was the exit of the passage. Maybe that slide-like passage leads to this place from all over the dungeon.
… Why? For what reason?
It certainly didn’t come naturally. All of this is undoubtedly the work of a monster.
Allen’s head, which had been stunned by the monster’s surprise attack, began to turn in earnest. And after contemplating for quite some time, he roughly inferred that this was the queen’s feeding trough.
The Shalbers spread throughout the dungeon, and if you put the queen’s prey into that passage, they will flow down here and pile up one by one.
Considering the queen’s characteristic of not leaving a habitat once it has been set, there was no other reason to explain it.
…… Wait a minute. That means…….
“Even if you found out something… ?”
Alex asked, looking at Allen’s slightly surprised expression.
“Here, perhaps the queen monster… , It seems to be where it is.”
Hearing that, everyone was shocked. And the various emotions that are revealed on the face.
The middle-aged Danju, who was negotiating the price of his life earlier, asked in a trembling voice.
“Well, then what shall we do?”
“What should I do?”
Allen glanced at the crew members with determined eyes.
“We have to fight.”
ㅡㅡ!!
The reaction was more violent than before. The frightened mercenaries made a sound of pain before they even started.
“Can we win among ourselves? She said she was a queen.”
“The power is too low. I’d rather plan for the future….”
However, Allen firmly shook his head. He wasn’t doing this simply for merit. Since they have already fallen into the middle of the monster’s lair, it is almost impossible to escape unless they catch the queen.
“If we can’t catch the queen, we can’t go out either. Even if we find a way out, do you think we can break through that many by ourselves?”
No one could argue against it. Because you’re right a hundred times
“You just need to catch the queen. Then everyone else is stupid. It becomes a lump of meat that just breathes. Then you just have to find the passage. … It must be somewhere.”
“Then… !”
The hope that had plummeted to the bottom surged upward again. At least there is a chance to survive.
“Instead—!”
At that time, Allen raised his voice slightly, drawing the crew’s attention.
“If you have the courage to overcome, you can live.”
He looked at each one of them directly with a look that overwhelms the audience.
“Do not be afraid. The moment you’re afraid, it’s as good as already dead. Until the end, if you follow my instructions and act, you will surely survive. I bet I promise you.”
The members only had to take responsibility for their own lives, but Danju had to take responsibility for the lives of all of them. … He wanted to get out alive with all of them. Really eagerly.
“Did you know?!”
“All right.”
That earnestness also reached the crew members.
With that, we became unified. With the belief that we can live, everyone became one.
“Let’s move.”
The group slowly began to cross the slime swamp. A terrible stench poisoned their lungs with every breath, but they persevered. The desperate human struggle to live had the power to far surpass the limits of what they were thinking.
For this moment, everyone forgot the hardships and fatigue and moved. As if awakened.
The magician’s magic wand was much brighter than a torch, and the light reached quite a distance. Thanks to this, I avoided unnecessary waste of stamina.
… It should be somewhere here. It’s clear.
[Guild Master]’S dungeon, Allen, who had been robbing all the dungeons, knew at least the characteristics of each boss. I gradually remembered that the space where Queen Shalber was was also a graphic filled with this kind of slime. … Of course, I didn’t come here like this on a slide.
… How long did it take like that
Alex was the first to notice something quite large crouching in the distance. It slowly began to reveal itself in the bright light of the magic wand.
ㅡㅡ!!
A gigantic monster that seemed to be dozens of times bigger than the caterpillar monster was groaning about its torso.
Finally, I found it.
The first thoughts were all the same. The thoughts that followed then stretched in different directions.
Allen hurriedly looked around. … Fortunately, there seemed to be no other monsters. Of course, if you start attacking, she will definitely come to defend the queen.
It must be killed before that.
For a moment, he suddenly felt the fear of death. It was on a different level from the weight of fear he felt in the canyon the other day.
Who is not afraid of death? Especially when the blade of death came right up to the throat, the feeling was indescribably terrifying.
… However, now it was a judge’s decision. If you look around anyway, a useless gamechang life will just disappear. In fact, it was a life of nothing great.
Whoa.
Taking a deep breath and controlling his emotions again, Allen quickly rolled his head around.
It was clear that a few knife cuts would not have much effect on that huge body anyway. Magic was needed. And fortunately, there is a magician of the elemental magic system that is the strongest in terms of destructive power.
Allen quickly approached the sucker.
“Elena. How many times do you think magic is possible? Please answer as accurately as possible.”
The sucker master, who already had a premonition of the importance of his role, swallowed his saliva once and answered.
“… Three, no, four times.”
“Are you sure? Four times?”
“If I scrape everything and use it, I think it will work up to four times.”
“I can’t say it will work! Whether it is or not, answer me clearly.”
“… Can.”
“Okay.”
“Instead, in the fourth, the light does not hold.”
“I get it. Sorry.”
Allen approached her men, this time carrying their weapons.
“You have to focus on the areas that have been shocked by magic attacks. We need to widen the wound as much as possible to maximize the damage.”
“So, tear open the belly skin and take out the intestines, is that what you mean?”
Everyone laughed at the blatant expression.
“Okay. That explanation makes more sense.”
Allen also smiled lightly and nodded once.
“When the fight starts, he will definitely call his cubs. Before it is surrounded by monsters, it must be killed. Got it?”
“Yes, I understand.”
“It’s a race against time. Live or die, depends on it. Even if it’s hard enough to die, persevere until the end. That’s how you buy it.”
He took a deep breath, then spoke again.
“… When the magic is ready, I will inform you. Back then for a while. Don’t get caught up in it.”
“Yes, Danju.”
“Then let’s get ready.”
Everyone gathered their hearts and prepared for battle. Only middle-aged Danju, a non-combatant, stood side by side with Allen.
“I wish you luck… !”
All the middle-aged Danju can do is pray for the work to end safely.
Allen confirmed that the preparations were complete and nodded heavily at the red-haired wizard.
The light from the magic wand in his left hand gradually faded, and at the same time, the light blue mana that was gathering in his right hand grew thicker and thicker.
The sucking wizard immediately cast his magic on the monster queen.
…… And, explode.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!
The enchanted shell burst with an explosion, and internal organs began pouring out from there. The queen monster screaming at the same time.
“Again—!”
As the suckling wizard prepared the second magic, the crew quickly ran and tore the torn part even bigger. It was quite difficult to move quickly because of the slime that reached his knees, but he gritted his teeth and worked hard.
After further tearing the wound like that, at Allen’s cry to get out of the way, they quickly spread aside.
And again, the magic flew one more shot.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the first hit, the direction went a little to the side. The problem is that the accuracy is a little low because it is blown by hand. Still, the blow was certain.
Just as the members of the crew were running to their deaths again, something suddenly began pouring down from all sides.
… Fuck this dog!
It was Salber that came out of dozens of feeding passages. And not just one or two, but dozens or hundreds of them.
“Kill it, kill that bastard quickly!”
Honestly, this is a situation that even Allen did not expect. I never imagined that monsters would come in so many places all of a sudden. It is also a food passage.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Even so, it was difficult to keep my mind intact. Same goes for all crew members. Like crazy bastards, they slashed at the monster queen to death.
And the third magic of the suckling wizard was completed.
“You have to shoot well. Can’t miss No, don’t get excited. Don’t get excited Stay calm. Shoot calmly–!!”
Allen jumped around excitedly, but the sucker was unexpectedly very calm. She even took a deep breath calmly, staring exactly at where she was going to cast her spell. As if she bet everything on this one room.
… And the magic left her hands.
Jebaaaaa
It fit right into the spot where the first magic had hit it earlier. The powerful manaball penetrated the queen monster’s intestines and exploded inside.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the same time, the monster’s body explodes.
Fragments flew into the air and fell like rain. Everyone was dazed for a while and hit it all over their bodies.
The salbers, who had been running frantically toward the intruders, suddenly began to go mad on the spot, and they hung limply as if they were dead. The monsters still trickling out of the aisle fell to the floor like rubbish and piled up randomly.
……… Finished.
The Queen Monster is dead.
Allen stood still and gasped wildly for a long time. She then looked at Elena, then she slowly turned her head. She too looked at him with a half-bewildered expression.
“…… Shiibal….”
The two of them jumped at the other without saying who came first and hugged each other tightly as if crushing each other. He patted her on the back a couple of times and stroked her gently.
“Good job. Well done. You did really well. Well done, Elena. Really… , Really….”
And the survivors,
It became a few drops of tears.
