chapter 128
128.Dungeon, Explosion, Reward (6)
“Keeek!”
[Wow, the effect is amazing. I’m glad I don’t have a nose.]
A small monkey-shaped monster rolled around on the floor, foaming at the mouth. The smell of garlic, amplified several times, was so painful that it was a pity that the monsters’ eyes became moist and even wet.
Although it is so strong that it makes you dizzy when you smell it suddenly, I didn’t expect the reaction to be this strong.
“What on earth did you bring?!”
Shuri asked me with her tail held straight up. I gently placed my foot on the monster’s head and kindly told it the contents of the box.
“It’s garlic.”
Kwasik.
My hair is softer than I thought.
“Garlic… Is it always?”
“You know what you put in aglioli. That’s it.”
“Uh, that! It smelled bad!”
“So don’t even think about taking it off. “If you take it off… It’s hell.”
Thank you for the explanation, Viola. I closed the box and crushed the necks of the neutralized monsters with my feet one by one. Since most of them were caught helplessly without even thinking about avoiding them, it took less than 5 minutes for us to finish clearing the area.
“Production.”
To erase any traces, I made a hole, pushed all the bodies into it, and roughly covered the hole with dirt. Garlic was also sprinkled as a bonus, so you won’t be able to approach it for a while.
After reorganizing, I scanned the bodies of the young chicks waiting for my command.
“This is how we deal with monsters. Did you understand?”
“What do I do when I use up all the garlic in the box?”
“From then on, you just have to fight.”
There will be a strong smell of garlic on our bodies by then anyway, so there is no need to spray it. The group nodded at my words and prepared to move again. I also got caught in the gap and took off my backpack.
I wanted to go and eat beef jerky, but when I thought that if I took off my gas mask in this state, I might have to shout “Gas, gas, gas,” My appetite disappeared.
Did you do it for no reason?
“Keep moving.”
——————–
Whether it was bad luck or good luck, we encountered the skinny tree monster five times.
Perhaps the experience from the first battle was of great help, and the second battle ended much more easily than the previous battle. We fought like that a total of five times.
The final battle ended before the tree monster spat out the monkey babies. Before the tree monster could act, Shuri’s lightning magic and my slime spray blocked its movement and completely burned it down.
I felt satisfied seeing the joint work between me and Shuri.
“Well done.”
As expected, wizards are the best ADCs.
Since there is a decent wizard, if you form a good formation and don’t let them get close, you can wipe them all out with one or two magic attacks. This is why, when the explorers see a wizard posting a party vacancy, they all run and ask them to come to our party.
Elisha should grow up to be that kind of wizard. She has It’s a decisive battle weapon that can fire at least one or two level 1 spells. To inflict significant damage on the final boss, level 1 magic is essential.
I also want to see Meteor in real life.
“Man, my prosthetic arm is a little strange.”
“Come here.”
Is it less durable than I thought? I rolled up Viola’s sleeves and checked the condition of her prosthetic arm. There was monster flesh stuck in the joints of the prosthetic arm of her. Just by looking at it, it looked like he had punched the monsters in the face with his prosthetic hand
“Did you hit the monster with your prosthetic hand?”
“I thought he was running at me…”
“How much impact was felt on your shoulder?”
“Hmm, quite a lot? My shoulder feels a little sore.”
“Maybe it’s not enough shock absorption…”
“But the taste was good.”
You have a hot personality. By the way, is the prosthetic hand not yet complete? I placed my hand on her shoulder and unlocked the prosthetic arm her her her her.
“I will replace it with a spare prosthetic hand, so hold your sleeve so it doesn’t fall down.”
“Uh, well, I understand, but… “
Why are you blushing? Are you that embarrassed to show your armpits? I haven’t seen it once or twice.
Ah, maybe it’s because there are a lot of people around.
“Shuri. “Come here for a moment.”
“Four?”
“I thought Viola was embarrassed. “I’ll teach you how to fit the prosthetic arm, so I hope you can replace it for me.”
“Ah, uncle!”
“Ah, four!”
Shuri approached me with a quick movement and politely accepted the prosthetic hand I gave her. She acted as if she was handling a valuable item and told me that I could keep it. She showed me the joint of the broken prosthetic hand and explained step by step how to put it on.
“Is it like this?”
“Okay. That’s all you need to do.”
“Tskcha.”
As soon as the prosthetic arm was attached, Viola turned his shoulder around. Fortunately, there were no problems with the prosthetic hand itself, so we were able to continue our search right away.
“Are these the stairs to the second floor?”
Unlike the entrance, which was just a downhill road, the path down to the second floor had proper stairs.
This will make it easier to go down. We sat in front of the stairs and rested for a while. Since I didn’t take a single break to get here, it was efficient to take a break at this point.
“Production.”
We sat together in a small building I had built and took off our gas masks. As I took off the gas mask, a spicy smell entered my nose. After all, I had been sprinkling garlic around so much that the smell of garlic seemed to permeate my entire body. When I looked around to see what the other kids were doing, I saw that they were all suffering from the smell of garlic.
Shuri chuckled and put her gas mask back on.
“It’s spicy… !”
“Wash your face with water. Then it will get better.”
“Cough… “Why is Yohan okay?”
“I’m used to it.”
Koreans have garlic in their blood.
This body has no ties to Korea.
Let’s just say it’s soul food.
I was lost in thought and stared blankly at the party members in pain. In the end, as I said, the party members, whose faces were soaked, took out the beef jerky from their bags, chewed it, and enjoyed a moment of leisure.
“It’s easier than I thought.”
“The first floor is usually not that difficult. There’s not much money. But Yohan, wouldn’t it have been better to skin those monsters and eat them? It’s a new monster, right? If you do well, you will get some reward-“
“It is too easy.”
“Where is the guy who got hit by a mithril shovel and was still fine! That’s enough to scratch a dragon! Even that gigantic tree monster is very fit!”
“Mithril?”
“Oh.”
Write. I glanced at the stray cat who had made a mistake. And I explained to Louis and Shuri, who had focused their attention on my shovel after Sif’s comment, that it was indeed made of mithril. Because I didn’t feel the need to lie.
They are a main character couple, so why would they spread rumors anywhere?
“Don’t go anywhere and spread rumors. “It’s a secret for now.”
There is nothing more troublesome than being tangled up in pesky flies. It may not be that difficult to get rid of it, but since it was purchased with embezzled money, it is a bit risky.
Fortunately, the nice and kind main couple immediately agreed to what I said. They say that lovers resemble each other.
“It’s harder than I thought…”
“This is not that difficult for an unexplored dungeon.”
This strategy is only possible because we have prepared to some extent and each member is skilled. If you were an ordinary adventurer, it wouldn’t be surprising if people got injured after another while with that tree monster.
The biggest challenge for an adventurer party without a wizard was a tree monster like that. If it weren’t for us, he could have become a threatening obstacle to the adventurer party.
Moreover, those little monkeys were not as easy as I thought.
They are weaker than goblins, but they are so numerous and quick that they are a troublesome opponent.
He simply could not withstand the biochemical terrorism and ended his life helplessly.
This is why thorough research was important when exploring dungeons. Even if you lack combat power, if you bring something that can counter the monsters in the dungeon, the difficulty of conquering the dungeon decreases drastically.
“…You have to get every little rumor out of the way. Sometimes, trivial information can determine victory or defeat in a fight.”
“Yes! I will keep this in mind!”
“Four!”
“I see…”
I guess they’re not the main couple, but they’re so nice. I listen carefully to advice that is important to me without letting it go to one ear. I happily smiled as I watched Lewis and Shuri absorbing my knowledge with satisfaction.
If you keep going like this, later on you will be able to handle most things without having to lift a finger. While waiting for that day, I made up my mind to roll Lewis.
…First of all, this dungeon has a strong testing nature, so I plan to just watch it.
“Attention everyone. There is something to check before going down to the second floor. Shuri. How much magic power do you have left?”
“About two-thirds left!”
“When you go down to the second floor, preserve your magical power as much as possible. Since you don’t know what might pop up, stick with using only level 4 magic as much as possible, and only use level 3 magic when it really seems like it won’t work. And viola.”
“Uh.”
“How much reagent is left?”
“I only used two. Because I knocked down those who approached me with my prosthetic hand…”
“You write tough.”
“It was too much of a waste to waste the reagent on those little monkeys. And if you want to get data on durability or design flaws, the best way is to hit it yourself. In fact, I also received information that flesh-like material easily gets stuck in the joints.”
“But from the second floor onwards, don’t try to solve the problem by throwing punches. Because I don’t know what will pop out.”
“Okay.”
“Louis. You just have to keep going. Repel attacks from the front as much as possible. If you don’t think it will work, you can call me or ask Shuri for level 3 magic.”
“I understand.”
“Sif. You remain alert to your surroundings. If you see any signs of dangerous-looking structures or monsters, report them to me immediately. If a battle breaks out, try to stay hidden as much as possible.”
“It’s easy! Okay!”
“…Then pick up your backpack. “I’m going down to the second floor now.”
[I hope there is something fun on the second floor. The first floor was really boring.]
…And said something ominous.
After making sure everyone had their backpacks on, I exited the building and stopped in front of the stairs leading to the second floor.
“Have you forgotten anything?”
“No.”
“What do I need to do?”
“Uh… Can I come back?”
Was I in a hurry to go to the bathroom? I erected a pit and a temporary wall in an appropriate location and returned to the original location.
“If you want to see it, come see it quickly. Don’t go alone, go in a group of three.”
At my words, the three women put down their backpacks and disappeared over a nearby wall. I looked at Lewis, who was scratching his head with an awkward expression, and then stared blankly at the stairs where only quiet sounds flowed.
What is on the second floor?
First of all, the guys on the first floor aren’t that strong of an opponent to have killed the adventurers.
If my guess is correct, the first floor is just a taste and the second floor is…
“I’m back!”
“Okay. Everyone, carry your backpack.”
Now let’s go down to the second floor.
We stepped onto the stairs, where only dim lighting revealed our presence.
