Chapter 108 – 30,000 Miles in Search of Equipment (4)
The dungeon exploration that suddenly started went smoothly.
It was natural, but impossible, to block our path with monsters from this world.
As I walked around the dungeon, I met adventurers here and there, but I passed them by without paying any attention.
There were some guys who flirted with us like the trash we met before entering the dungeon, but before I could say anything, my characters gave me the opportunity to meet King Yeomra.
Thanks to the spirits that Renia sent in advance, I was able to avoid wandering around the maze-like dungeon and deal with the annoying monsters that popped out.
I think this is probably the fastest time in the history of this dungeon, clearing one floor at a time.
“The more I look at you from the side, the more amazing you all seem… I heard that entering a dungeon and exploring it is a series of difficult and painful situations in reality… But there is nothing like that.”
Cherry, who was standing in the middle of us, said without hiding her surprise.
“Didn’t you tell me? We have greater abilities than you think.”
“But there are degrees.”
After hearing Cherry’s words, Lenia looks proud and her shoulders seem to go up even higher.
“I can’t believe the boss gave these people this incredible power… Can you give it to me too?”
Cherry looks at me with her expectant eyes as she speaks, but she is determined by the words that come out of her mouth.
“It would be nice if I could do that, but as of now, I don’t have the power that gave me authority before. It’s difficult for me to even handle my own body right now.”
“I see… I thought it would be nice to become strong like you all, but it’s a shame.”
Actually, I might have given it to you because I said I could share it, but it’s impossible for me right now.
Even if it is given, it will probably only be given to someone who has truly been verified.
It would be difficult to give unless it was someone who would never betray me like my characters do now.
The power that can single-handedly destroy a country cannot be given away carelessly.
“Jinu will eventually regain all of her former strength. Will you work hard so that you can be chosen by Jinu then?”
Lenia, who was walking next to Cherry, who was looking sad, comforted her with her soft voice.
I’m going to get all my strength back. I’m sorry, but the chances of that happening are very slim, Renia.
Since my power now is to implement the game system as it is, I might have the power to craft items or change jobs later.
Let’s think about it then.
Even if I think about it now, it’s a power I can’t use and I don’t even know I have.
We went down one floor at a time, chatting in such a relaxed state that other people wouldn’t have thought we were walking around in a dungeon.
How far did it travel?
“I think we’ve come down quite a bit, but the compass is still pointing down.”
The number of floors we have now arrived at is a whopping 50 floors.
When we arrived at the 50th floor, we decided to take a rest and sit down.
We decided to sit around each other, eat the snacks we brought, and rest.
If we, who entered the dungeon for the first time, were to go down to the 50th floor underground in one day, it would become a huge issue and be talked about.
I don’t care about that though.
People here said that the maximum number of floors that can be reached is 55 underground floors, so is there only 5 floors left?
I don’t know if that’s the end of the dungeon, or if there are further floors to go down.
“Ugh… How long do I have to go…”
Yuria let out an irritated comment.
It’s worth it.
All I did here in the dungeon today was just keep walking down.
“It will be over in just a little bit, so just wait a little longer, Yuria.”
“Okay, Lien…”
When Lien spoke in her stern voice, Yuria responded in a crawling voice with a downcast expression.
“What kind of equipment is there? It would be nice if it were equipment that could be used.”
“After going through all this trouble, I think Boyd would be very angry if he had leftover equipment.”
If that were the case, I might scream on the spot.
“You said there were three people left? They must also have tremendous power.”
“In terms of strength, they are weaker than us, but they each have outstanding abilities. They are all useful.”
Noah said, chewing the beef jerky she had left out in her mouth.
“Are these people capable of doing something like that now?”
Cherry has her beef jerky in her mouth and is chewing it, pointing behind me with one hand.
Behind me, the monsters on the 50th floor are screaming and dying.
The ones holding the monsters are the spirits of Rhenia and Ellie.
The monsters that emerge from the 50th floor are golems made of hard minerals, and the number of them that pop out is countless.
If you were an ordinary adventurer, it would probably be right to retreat right away.
That is, if you are a normal adventurer.
Of course, the golem massacre is starting behind me.
We are relaxing slowly without any worries.
The good thing about being a golem is that it doesn’t make any sound when it dies, only the sound of a stone falling?
If the monster was a living creature, it would have screamed as it died, and even if it was resting, it would have hurt my ears more than the sound of a stone falling.
“Perhaps… Is it possible? Except Freya is not a combatant.”
“Elsha or Rachel would be enough.”
Her youngest child, Rachel, will be the weakest here, but she should still have no problem catching those golems over there.
Then the sound of stones falling quietened down.
“It’s all sorted out.”
“Good job, Ellie. You too, sit down and rest.”
I heard Ellie’s voice coming from behind and turned her head to talk.
“No. If everyone has rested, let’s go to the next floor.”
Ellie answered me by shaking her head.
“That’s right, Jinu. Do you think we’ll be this tired? I just want to get out of this unpleasant dungeon quickly. They say they’re controlling it with spirits, but I really hate the muggy air.”
As Rhenia said, ice and wind are created around the area and the temperature is controlled by spirits, but the surrounding air is still hot and humid like midsummer.
If you ask Renia, she says that there is no problem with her magic power in continuously summoning these lower-level spirits, but it is not expected to be easy because it involves not only maintaining it for a long time but also controlling it.
“Then shall we go down right away? Let’s finish it quickly and go back to the dorm.”
Everyone agreed with me and got up and went down another level.
It is said that the monsters become more powerful as you go underground, but I dealt with them so easily that I couldn’t tell the difference, and I finally went down to the 55th floor.
“Have we finally come this far?”
“Really… No one would believe me if I told you I came this far in one day…”
We paid no attention to what Cherry said and focused our attention on the compass I was holding.
We moved the compass around to check where the game item we were looking for was located.
And the direction the compass was pointing… Fortunately, was not down.
As I walked along the direction of the compass, I found a huge door.
It was a large iron door, almost as tall as the fifth floor of an apartment building.
“Is this… Where the final boss monster of this dungeon is?”
“Hmm… Looking at the traces around, it seems like a long time has passed since the door was opened. I think the adventurers who said they came in the past also returned from this door.”
Ellie, who was looking around, said.
Surely, if this huge door had been opened, there would have been a big mark left on the floor, but no matter how much I looked, the floor was clean.
“The direction of the compass points inside… I guess I have no choice but to go in.”
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone except Cherry and I stood in front of the huge door.
Bang!
And Lien immediately slammed her fist towards the door, causing a tremendous sound to echo throughout the dungeon.
The sound of a hole being punched in the wall when I entered the dungeon was so loud that it was incomparably loud.
“Hmm? They say it’s not at full power, but… I’m shocked that it didn’t break through.”
Looking at the state of the door that Lien hit with his fist, it was abnormally dented, but it did not lead to a hole.
“Sister Lien hit it with her fist and it only hurt this much. It looks like a pretty thick iron door.”
As she said that, Noah began to see blood pool around her right arm and it began to merge and rotate.
Noah threw a huge drill made of blood into her right arm with all her might into the area where Lienne had hit her fist.
Kiiiii!
The moment the drill hit the iron, she made an unpleasant sound and sparks flew out.
It’s a drill made of blood… Of course, that kind of skill is not a skill that Elion has.
Although it was expected, Noah’s ability to manipulate blood also seems to have a lot of use.
Kang!
After some time, Noah was able to make a hole in the iron door with the bloody drill he made.
Part of it was drilled with a huge drill and the hole was large enough for one person to pass through.
When I tried to go in, Ellie stopped me.
“Jinu, I will go in first. I don’t know what kind of danger there might be, but I can’t let you go in first.”
I agreed with Eli and stepped back, and Ellie, Lien, and Yuria went in before me, in that order.
“I think you can come in.”
After hearing Ellie’s voice inside, everyone else, including me, went inside the iron door.
There was a huge corpse there, rotting or dry and twisted.
The scales, which seemed to have been red when alive, had already lost their color and had become closer to black, and there was a large hole in the body of the corpse, which suggests that the creature’s heart may have been pierced.
One wing on its back has already been torn off, and its tail appears to have been gone a long time ago.
I think the identity of this gigantic creature is probably a dragon.
