Chapter 149

CHAPTER 149: HELENS STRENGTHENING,START

The next day, we came to the dungeon instructed by Gassur and the others .

For the time being, we stopped by at the guild to tell him that we would challenge the dungeon, but as usual, the guild is full of perverts such as the nude flasher and the destruction demon, and Gassur finally sent us out with a smile .

The dungeon that appeared in this manner is in the mountains near Terviel, and the general public cannot visit it .

Perhaps because of that, theres no reception or inspection of person before this special dungeon, and there was just a gaping hole in the ground that was greatly raised .

In front of such a dungeon, I called out cheerfully to everyone who was following me .

Well then, lets capture this quickly .

Oh!

Arent you very lively!

Saria was the only one who answered my voice, but Helen was holding her head .

Im going into a ridiculous dungeon this instant, right? What is this? This looseness . Isnt this strange?

Theres nothing wrong . This is normal .

Anyway, this is the dungeon, but not everyone will explore it .

Luthia headed over to join Lucius, and the demon army at once, and Rurune, Olga-chan, and Zora went to accompany her .

Rurune insisted that she would follow me, but she was caught by Olga-chan, was flicked by a meal, and consented easily to accompany her .

So, to help Helens level up this time, there were only the three of us, me, Saria, and Al, who was also a senior as an adventurer .

Truly, we need two more people I would like the party to have a recovery and a shield role, but

Al looks at me while muttering so .

Haa

What is that sigh for!?

Als outright sigh made me want to complain . Its like shes sighing at a persons face!

What did I sigh for, you ask? While the adventurers in the world teamed up and form a party to capture it, youre the only one who can do all the roles in the whole party .

Thats not true!?

Regardless of whether I can really do all the roles in a party, in general, it seems that dungeons were captured by a party of six people .

Well, thats fine . Lets enter anyway . The story starts from there .

With a slightly unconvincing feeling, as soon as she stepped into the dungeon, Helen tightened her face .

What are you so tense about?

You got nervous!?

Funny . No matter how much I look back on the past, I dont remember being as nervous as Helen . Even when I was entirely lost in the Forest of Endless Love and Sorrow, I dont think Ive had the feeling of being nervous at that point . Well, at that time, I was just desperate to live before being tense, and I went around and got high .

So? What would you do from here? Would you fight normally and raise your level?

What, then its not?

Of course, the higher your level, the higher your status, and if you can become a Transcendental, that alone poses a threat . . But sometimes combat experience and skill improvement overturn even the difference in status, you know? Of course, you want to raise your level, but I also want you to improve such techniques . To correspond to the Kaizer Empire, still, that might not be enough, so

Ooh, really As for me, I thought that it was good if her level went up easily, but apparently, it isnt enough for Helen .

Then, why dont I do this?

Eh?

When I was wondering whats going on, Saria smiled as if she had come up with a good idea .

Seiichi, can you walk there a little?

Wha? Ah Woah!?

The moment I walked to that position as prompted by Saria, a large number of spears from the ceiling came out, the ground became a pitfall, and arrows on the side of the wall assaulted all at once .

I evaded all of it in such a bad posture as to pull myself .

How about jumping into a trap with yourself like this!

Are you stupid?

Helen said so seriously . Sorry, Saria . I think so too .

Or rather, you shouldnt go into a trap by yourself!? Whats a trap for you!

Eh? To use for training?

The dungeon is pitiful!

When Al, who was a person that has common sense, immediately tsukkomid, Saria has a strange look . No, it certainly seems to be training, but its really pitiful considering the feeling of the dungeon who prepared the trap!

Mu I thought it was a pretty good idea . Even in the dungeon where Zora-chan was, Seiichi was heading to most of the traps by himself, so I wondered if it was some kind of training, but

For the time being, I understood that no matter how far Seiichi-sensei goes, its nonsense . And, after all, I want to raise my level normally . Im not that nonsensical .

My reputation got damaged way too much .

Strange . Even though its not my intention, Im going to cry about how you treat me as a nonsense .

Ignoring my appearance like that, Helen and the others head to the depths of the dungeon .

Eh, am I, going to be left in this state?

I was still avoiding the trap in an unpleasant posture, and I was crying unknowingly while chasing after the three .

Hah!

In conclusion, because Helens purpose was to raise her level, even if it was a high level, we went along the road without helping in battle until it become dangerous . Instead, basically, so that Helen and a monster are in a one-on-one situation, the other monsters are I, Saria and the others opponents .

Even though its a one-on-one, I dont know how far she could go, but when she actually fights, Helen tosses the monster with martial arts-like moves that she has mastered, and shell surely defeat it carefully .

Even now, the Armor Mantis Lv:201, making full use of her two iron swords against the huge iron-colored mantis, theyre crossing each other .

And finally, when she flips back from the Armor Mantis sickle, she cuts off the head of Armor Mantis with that flow, and the Armor Mantis became particles of light and disappeared .

Fuu It seems that I have leveled up again .

Oh! Congratulations!

I grabbed the leg of the Killer Hopper Lv: 411, a giant grasshopper that attacked me while Helen was fighting, and I lifted it up upside down .

But for some reason, Helen looks at me coldly .

Even though Im fighting for hours here, cant you stop being insane for the meantime?

Where is the insane element here!?

Isnt that unreasonable? The grasshopper that attacked me was too large, and I just caught it because I was tickled by it as a kid involuntarily . When you were a child, didnt you get excited when you found a big insect?I rise it up .

As we go through the dungeon like this, Al stops suddenly .

Oi, stop for a moment .

Nn? Whats wrong?

Footprints .

Eh?

Al crouches down on the spot and examines the ground .

I look at it in the same way, but I couldnt see the footprints that Al said .

Ah, thats true!

Thats right, its not from a monster, its from a human

Oops? Am I the only one who doesnt know? Rather, why does everyone know? No matter how I look at it, its just a stone ground, right?

Then Al, who noticed my appearance, asked me in an amazed state .

Seiichi . You dont understand?

Now, thats not what it is, you know!? This is!?

When I touch the ground appropriately so as not to be realized desperately, an unpleasant sound Gakku sounded, and the foothold suddenly disappeared .

A trap agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!?

Again, I twist my body with a movement that pulls myself, and I avoid the trap with the air as a scaffold .

Fu I was saved .

No, why can you avoid such instant death traps even though you dont know the footprints?

Rather, why do you know that these are footprints?

Not only the footprints, but also the traps this time, no matter how I look at them, theyre just ground .

Haa should I say that I was relieved that there was something that I couldnt do, or should I lament that I cant do such a rudimentary thing even though Im an adventurer

Or rather, I feel like Seiichi-sensei is too different, but

I used to refer to footprints and other things when I was searching for prey in the forest, so Im just used to it!

Sarias familiarity is a little different because its the instinct and wisdom of wild animals no matter how you think about it, but it seems to be an essential skill of an adventurer to confirm the presence or absence of things like traps, and to find footprints .

Well, there are some adventurers who specialize in traps, so of course, those individuals have higher knowledge and skill to see through it, but still, a minimum level of knowledge is required .

When I think about it carefully, Ive spent all my time without acquiring knowledge as a decent adventurer . I dont know what footprints are .

Although this body of mine soar in various ways, I still dont have enough skills to gain from that kind of experience .

When I found out a new issue, I asked Al again .

So, why do you care about the footprints there? Gassur and the others may have been here at one time, and its not strange, right?

But these, footprints are relatively new . Besides, this dungeon was researched by Gassur and the others once, as Seiichi said, and they must have judged this to be dangerous . There was no special lookout near the entrance, but information will naturally be transmitted to the adventurers of Terviel, and its unlikely that those guys would visit here .

Eh? But that destruction guy is there always! Isnt it like a challenge for that someone whos screaming?

WellI think its possible in terms of his personality, but you saw him in the guild before you came here, didnt you?

Come to think of it

When I stopped by at the guild, I certainly saw him laughing in high spirit while destroying a desk .

And, there are no traces of this footprint turning back . Thats why, it follows that in this dungeon there still remains the owner of these footprints .

Thats an average person might have strayed here, or maybe another adventurer is challenging this?

The line of an average person is hardly . Its impossible to come here without encountering monsters, and above all, if they encounter the level of monster here, its over . And, even if its other adventurers, if theyll challenge this, they must have a party of S class guys, but

Al glared at the footprints on the ground with a difficult face .

Well, I guess its no use thinking about it . As I said before, theres no sign of this turning back, and maybe we can meet this guy in the dungeon .

Fuun but do you often meet other people in dungeons?

Since the games on earth are the first to float in me when it comes to dungeons, somehow, I have an image that its difficult to meet other members in the dungeon, but

That is, if you go to a popular dungeon, theres even a fight for prey, too . Well, there are implicit rules, and its not like its such a lawless zone, but

Then youll just have to say hello when you meet them!

Saria says so innocently, but Al had a difficult expression .

Now then, I wonder if the guy whos ahead of us is a good guy

Eh?

Its nothing . More than that, this is a valuable dungeon . Not only to increase Helens level, perhaps we can find a right item for you in a treasure chest?

Yes! Not only the level, equipment is also important . Im demanding for too much power, that such a simple thing slips out of my mind

Well, if you dont have the ability, its useless to have a good weapon . Now then, while raising your level at this rate, lets find some items .

Helen, who nodded happily at Als words, chased after Al .

I was originally her teacher, right?

Cheer up!

Sarias kindness kept me from being in tears . (TN: Poor Seiichi)

Fuaah~ Im sleepy .

When Seiichi and the others are successfully walking through the dungeon, the Deity(Kami to) of the Demon Gods Cult, Destra the Extinction(Zesshi) was leisurely walking in the dungeon .

His appearance doesnt look like a human whos treading a dungeon, and despite being full of super powerful monsters, he was defenseless to the end .

Oh, a treasure box righto .

And even though a trap might have been set, Destra opened the treasure box without hesitation .

Then, purple smoke spews from the treasure box, and it covers Destras face .

Uwa, kehho kehho .

Nevertheless, Destra lightly frowns, and nothing changed .

Mo~! You dont have to go out of your way to put lethal poisonous smoke in it .

As Destra says, the trap that was set in the treasure box, was a powerful poisonous smoke that will kill you if you inhale it for a moment, and even if you hold your breath, itll invade the skin, a dangerous thing that can result in death .

This totally cheeky dungeon lets kill it?

When Destra narrows his eyes and says so, while coughing a little, the whole dungeon suddenly trembled .

However, when Destra notices that theres something in the box, the atmosphere he had a while ago has scattered like a lie, and he checked the contents of the treasure box with a lively appearance .

Oh, Lucky! Its a proper weapon, not a shoddy item .

Inside was a legendary weapon called Sword of the Blood River (Ketsuga Tsurugi) .

The red streaks stretched like a blood vessel on the jet-black sword are eerily pulsing .

Etto Hee, the wound of the slashed opponent cannot be closed . It can also change freely by the owners will

Destra, who read the ability of the weapon using the Appraisal skill, has a complacent and evil smile .

Yeah, yeah yeah! This is really nice! I really like it! Whats this doing here, this pretty good item!

With Destras good mood, the shaking of the entire dungeon was also subsided .

Then, to Destra who was looking at the sword and frolicking, an Assassin Spider Lv: 789, that erased its presence, which had been overlooking him and sticking to the ceiling until now, as it fall down behind Destra without a sound, and when it attacks as it is

Gi, gi!? Gi, gi

The Assassin Spider died .

Nn?

And Destra turns around, as if he just noticed the Assassin Spider .

Oh, it looks like Ive been targeted by something . Well, he was out of luck .

As if he knows that everything that attacks him will naturally die without any feeling of it, Destra uttered so .

He ignored the corpse of the Assassin Spider who died without knowing why and tried proceed further, but Destra suddenly stopped .

Nn~

And then, looking at the end of the road that he has followed, he realized something .

Hee . I never thought that people would come to a place like this . It would be troublesome if they see me, and I can round them up here, but that would make Yutis angry . Then theres only one option left~!

Destra said so and held his palm towards the end of the road, and he tries to do something

I dunno . I can just kill them from here, but Id like to see their dying faces anyway

As he says that, Destra begins to proceed again .

Now then, what kind of people will come? I look forward to it .

Thus, the encounter between Destra and Seiichi and the others was steadily nearing . And the fact that he approached them here and never left For Destra, it was the end of everything .
