Chapter 195 – Disaster
◈
Kieeeeeeeeeeeek!
Kikikikieeeeeeeek!
The moment we reached the first floor, we were greeted by a horde of goblins.
So many goblins were packed together, stepping on each other, that they were practically glued to the warp device.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Kieeeek! Kieeeek!
Kiyaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeek!
Completely berserk, the goblins were swinging their clubs at the warp device, going absolutely wild.
And as the goblins clung to the warp device, something became very noticeable.
It was the goblins’ dicks.
They were about the size of an adult man.
Small bodies with large appendages.
If goblins were focused on sexual desire, wouldn’t the chastity of female adventurers be in great danger?
Or maybe there would be women who wouldn’t be satisfied unless they had a goblin’s particular equipment.
It had been a while since I’d seen goblins.
I was once again reminded that they were perfect for lewd fantasies.
Anyway.
Swoosh
I went behind Misha and Amanda and covered their eyes with both hands.
“Rent?”
“Huh? What is it? Why are you covering our eyes?”
“There are some very gruesome sights that are not suitable for women to see…”
Amanda burst out laughing at my words.
“Pfft, hahahahahaha! Hey, Craig! This guy is more of a gentleman than you are? Doesn’t your boyfriend have any manners?”
“Are you the type to be scared by a goblin’s dick? Well, thanks for thinking about my girlfriend’s eye health, Dungeon Crasher.”
“You can call me Rent. And are you two a couple?”
“Hehehe, yeah, we are. You know what? He acts like this in front of other people, but when it’s just the two of us, he’s really cute…”
Thwack!
Amanda hit Craig in the side.
“Cough! Hey, Amanda! That was too hard! We have to fight now!”
“There are things you should say in front of other people! Ugh!”
They seem to get along very well.
“Thank you, Rent. But you don’t need to worry. You can take your hands away.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“I’m fine too. I’m not going to freak out over some goblin dick.”
“Understood.”
I removed my hands from Misha and Amanda’s eyes.
Amanda frowned when she saw the goblins.
“Ugh, how disgusting.”
“There are so many goblins… It’s very different from what I heard. Even if it’s a flood, it’s just supposed to create a large number of goblins around… To have them fill the dungeon like this…”
According to Solishin’s revelation, Beinsin had poured an especially large amount of magic power into the dungeon this time.
That meant the production rate had also increased.
“…If I had known it would be like this, we should have brought a mage.”
Jason said, and Jen replied.
“Indeed, with this many, it would have been better to bring a mage. There are just too many. I doubt I can even make a path with my skills.”
“Should we go back to the surface and bring a mage? By now, the rear guard should be fully organized.”
“Hmm, maybe that’s for the best…”
“Jen.”
“Huh? Rent, what is it?”
“I’ll clear a path.”
While we were bringing a mage, the goblins would continue to be produced.
And if you look closely, the goblins are gathering towards the stairs leading to the surface.
The goblins’ attacks might not be that strong, but we always have to keep in mind the possibility of the barrier between the surface and the dungeon collapsing.
“Can you do it?”
“Yes.”
Jen grinned and said to me.
“Then show me what you can do. Honestly, I’ve only heard rumors, so I don’t know what your skills are like.”
“Oh, what’s this? Are we going to see the Dungeon Crasher’s skills already?”
“This is going to be interesting.”
Craig and Amanda grinned at me.
“Are you sure, Rent?”
“Yes, Misha. Please don’t worry.”
“…Are you going to punch the goblins and blow them away with the wind pressure?”
“No. Why would you think that?”
“I was curious, so I looked into you. There was no information that you used any specific weapon to defeat the Beginner Killer. Besides, if you have the power to destroy a dungeon, you should be able to create wind pressure, right?”
“Yes, I can.”
“Huh? You can really do that?”
“Amazing.”
“Then how are you going to open a path? There were rumors that you summoned a giant sword… But this place is too narrow to create such a sword.”
It seems Jason has even obtained information that I created Excalibur.
…No, I even did a public demonstration at the Fox’s Rest, so it’s natural that he would know, right?
“Just watch for now.”
I moved to the far left of the barrier created by the warp device.
Unlike the other floors, the first floor is a cave.
Therefore, if a large number of monsters are generated, the dungeon will become cramped, like the goblins in front of us now.
But conversely, that also means it’s an environment where you can deal with monsters all at once.
“Please step back for a moment.”
At my words, everyone took a few steps back.
I reached out to the side and activated Mana Weapon.
What I created was a giant rectangular shape that barely didn’t touch the cave walls.
“This is…”
“Hey, Rent. What are you going to do with that?”
“Of course, I’m going to open a path.”
I imagined a straight, rectangular shape that stretched endlessly.
It was a simple shape, but it was a shape that everyone loved in that game with too much stagnant water.
“Tetris!”
I poured in a massive amount of magic power.
“What!?”
“That amount of magic power?!”
The Create Sound automatically appeared next to me.
Fwoooooooooooom!
As the rectangle extended, it created an explosion sound.
Kieeeeeeeeeek!?
Kiyaaaaaaeeeeeeeeek?!
The numerous goblins in front of me were pushed into the cave by the Tetris I created.
I continued to pour in magic power for about a minute.
When I felt that I had extended it about 13 kilometers, I deactivated Mana Weapon.
“Let’s go.”
“Hey, how did you do that just now? That was an absurd amount of magic power.”
Craig asked me with a bewildered expression.
“It’s Mana Weapon.”
“Mana Weapon? That was? No, even if it’s Mana Weapon, how much magic power do you have…”
“Craig, this is an emergency. Ask those questions after this is over.”
Amanda stopped Craig from asking me questions.
“Rent… You’re, you’re amazing.”
“Thank you, Misha.”
“Hahahaha! You’re really amazing! Not only are you strong, but you also have an absurd amount of magic power! A real super rookie has arrived!”
Jen laughed heartily.
Jason came closer to me and asked.
“Did you defeat all the goblins with that just now?”
“No, I think some goblins suffocated and died, but I just created some distance.”
“I see… How many more times can you use that method?”
“As many times as I want.”
“…You’re really absurd. Okay, let’s move forward. The path is clear, so let’s defeat the goblins and go to the next floor…”
At that moment, Jason’s gaze turned forward.
We all looked in the direction Jason was looking.
And we were all shocked.
“What!?”
“What is that?!”
“…I didn’t think it would be like this.”
Kieeeek!
Kiekiek!
Kiyaaaaaaeeeeeeek!
Countless goblins were appearing, sprouting from the floor, walls, and ceiling of the cave.
“Jen.”
“What is it, Rent?”
“Have you ever seen monsters being created before?”
“No, this is my first time too. Geez… It’s terrible. Everyone, prepare for battle! Let’s defeat them before they increase any more!”
At Jen’s voice, everyone entered battle stance.
Jen held his halberd, Amanda held her sword, Craig held his dual axes, Jason held his dagger, and Misha held her staff.
“I will support you! Power! Speed! Barrier!”
Misha raised her staff and cast buff magic on us.
“Kuh! I’m full of energy! As expected, the holy magic of the priests is great! I even want to receive it when I’m with Amanda!”
“Don’t say stupid things and hurry up!”
“Okay, let’s go!”
Craig charged first, and we followed him in order.
And the goblin hunt on the first floor began.
◈
Thirty minutes had passed since the subjugation on the first floor began.
We were steadily hunting goblins.
Swoooooosh!
“Eat this, you damn goblins!”
Craig swung his dual axes with fierce momentum, sometimes throwing them like boomerangs to hunt the goblins.
“It’s refreshing to see goblins with the skills of orcs! Well, they’re still no match for us!”
Swoooosh!
Amanda skillfully swung her sword, defeating the goblins.
“…”
Swish, swish, swish!
Jason moved around at a speed faster than Ninya, beheading the goblins.
“I will cast holy magic again!”
Misha accurately timed when the buffs would wear off and continuously cast buffs on us.
“Haaap! Magic Slash!”
Swoooooosh!
Jen imbued his halberd with magic power and swung it, sending out a flying magic slash that killed numerous goblins.
Personally, Jen’s skill looked very cool.
Even if the opponents were goblins, their numbers continued to increase.
Even though they could be tired from the continuous battle, none of the people fighting showed any signs of fatigue.
I could feel why they were A-rank adventurers.
Of course, I wasn’t just watching.
While we were continuously defeating the goblins that kept appearing for 30 minutes, we had only managed to move about 100 meters from the warp device.
The goblins that the four of them were fighting were constantly appearing around them.
And the goblins were not only appearing around us, but also continuously being generated throughout the entire dungeon.
That’s why…
Kieeeeeeeek!
Kikkikkikkikkikkik!
Kiyaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeek!
There were always hordes of goblins rushing towards us.
Craig saw the approaching goblin horde and shouted at me.
“Hey! Rent! They’re coming again! Do that thing, that thing!”
“Yes! Please step back!”
At my words, everyone immediately moved nimbly behind me.
I immediately used Mana Weapon to create a very long handle of Excalibur.
I laid the handle horizontally and aimed Excalibur at the approaching goblin horde.
And as I poured in a massive amount of magic power, imagining an endlessly extending sword, I shouted.
“Strike Calibuuuuuuuuuuuuuur!”
Swoooooooooooooooooosh!
Along with the melodious sound effects from Create Sound, a golden blade shot out, slicing through the goblin horde.
When I deactivated Mana Weapon, the two-halved goblin hordes simultaneously collapsed, spewing out a massive amount of blood.
“…It’s absurd every time I see it. When I look at Rent, I feel like my common sense is being turned upside down.”
“Hey, Rent. Come to think of it, that’s Mana Weapon, right?”
“Yes, Craig.”
“But why do you shout out strange skill names like Strike Calibur, Excalibur, and Energy Impact?”
“Um… Because it’s cool?”
Jen nodded from the side, agreeing with my words.
“That’s right! It’s important to emphasize coolness. I actually have a skill called Mana Slash, but it’s not cool, so I call it Magic Slash.”
Jen also knows about style.
“Huh, isn’t it enough to just slash?”
“Leave him be, Craig, there’s no problem, right? More importantly, you’re really incredibly amazing, Rent. Actually, couldn’t you just solve everything by yourself?”
As we defeated the goblins together, everyone was now calling me by my name.
I’m happy that we’ve become closer.
“No, even if it was just me, it would be impossible to completely stop the flood. Even if we go to the next floor, the monsters on the first floor won’t stop appearing.”
While I was defeating the monsters on the next floor, the monsters on the upper floor would have to be defeated by other adventurers.
At that moment, someone ran up from behind us.
“Everyone! What is the current situation!”
“Oh, has it been that long already?”
The person who came to us was the person in charge of confirmation sent by the guild master.
First, we would defeat the goblins on the first floor for 30 minutes, and then send an adventurer to check the situation on the first floor to decide whether to deploy the rear guard.
Jen stepped forward as the representative and said to the person in charge of confirmation.
“Goblins are still swarming out. But for about 5 minutes, there won’t be a large horde of goblins coming in front of us.”
The goblin hordes appeared almost regularly every 5 minutes.
And the distance from the warp device was 100 meters.
It was enough time for the rear guard to come and prepare.
Jen must have thought the same thing, as he turned to me and said.
“The timing is perfect. Hey, Rent! How about we do it now!”
“Yes, Jen!”
Now is the time to move on to the next floor.
