Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka - Volume 03 (19 page)

“Bell-sama!? Bell-sama!?”

Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary Scary.

Extremely Scary.

That Monster was scary to the extent of that it was chaotic.

The corner of my eyes was filled with tears. My lungs continued to breathe and sub. My teeth could not be clenched tightly.

What color had my face become, I already could not predict it.

Every time the two feet with hooves step onto the grass, I would overlap that with myself.

The symbol of terror inside my heart made the air inside my body swell up.

“VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

The Minotaur became a cannonball.

With a frightening speed, it dashed through the center of the room and completely ate away the distance separating us.

I did not pull out my weapon. There was nothing that I could do.

It was over.

In a blink of an eye, the huge bull approached and used an exaggerated movement to swing the Large Sword down.

“??Ah!?”

“Eh?”

In my rotating field of vision, a mosquito-like cry entered my ears.

Earlier than I realize that I was still alive, I confirmed the temperature of Lili that was lying on top of my belly.

From her head, a large amount of blood was leaking out.

“L…Lili…..?”

I was thrown to the ground. Probably, it was due to Lili’s slam.

Due to her throwing herself to the side, I had successfully dodged the Minotaur’s attack. As a replacement, Lili was injured.

Was it skimped by the Large Sword? No, the Minotaur had caused many shattered rocks to move and it directly head Lili’s head?

After withstanding the powerful attack, the ground had completely shattered. Large amount of flowers, grass and even hard clods of dirt were flung to the sky.

Lili distorted her face and issued out a faint moan.

KAAAA, my entire body heated up.

“!!”

I forcibly inject power to my limp and discouraged muscles and stood up.

Scary. Very scary. In my heart, there was only terror.

In front of my eyes, the howling Minotaur was still unbearably scary.

However, letting this child to die ??was even more scary.

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Sorry! In my heart, I apologized while I decided to throw Lili’s body to the side.

There was no time to confirm how that petite body was. I directly confronted the Minotaur who had turned around.

My teeth were rested on my trembling lips and I severely bit into them. Before the roaring Large Sword could kill me, I reflexively stretched out my right arm and shouted out.

“??FIRE BOLTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?”

“BUOOO!?”

Scarlet lightning caused the actions of the Minotaur to bounce away.

Under the power of the blooming flame flower , the ferocious Bull was pressured and retreated.

Inside my round eyes, a faint hope of overcoming the odds appeared distantly.

I began to use Magic as if I was possessed.

‘WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?”

Hit. Hit. Hit.

As if I was blinded and continuously swinging my sword, I repeatedly launched Magic.

The sharp flame spears stabbed through the enemy’s huge body numerous times and exploded. Following the explosion sound, violent flames leap out.

The Minotaur issued out an anguished voice and retreated one step at a time, then it disappeared into the continuous chains of explosion.

I tightly held onto the magic as if I was clutching my last hope.

If I did not have this power at this time, I seemed to beg like this as I continued to desperately fire out my last ray of hope .

Inside my heart, I continued to pull the trigger for Magic.

“Ha…Ha……!”

When my mind had fully regained consciousness, I stopped the Magic. My field of vision was completely buried with black smoke.

The smell of burnt soil and grass stimulated my nose. I could not see the figure of the Minotaur.

??Did I beat it?

There was absolutely no response. In front of the space where flames still remained, I lowered my right arm.

“VOOOO”

“??“

Bang, the sound of wind breaking apart entered my ear.

At the same time the black smoke was turning into a whirlwind, a large arm stretched out from within.

From below, the rock-like fists depicted an arc. I maintained the state where I was hit in the abdomen and stopped.

The feeling of the hoof biting into my arm.

The impact following by an explosion.

“GA!?”

My vision trembled. The air inside my body was forced out and when I had yet grasp the situation, my body flew towards the rear.

The only thing that I was clear about was the fact that I was saved by Aizu-san.

Relying on the act of immediately jumping backwards, the force that assaulted me was halved.

It was impossible to want to completely cancel out that shock. If I had stayed still, I would undoubtedly be hit in the abdomen and in a state where I would burst into tears, I would hit the Dungeon’s wall.

“~~~~~~~~~~~~!? ……Ah,Gi!?”

The wall was destroyed. With half of my body buried into the wall, under the pain that came forth, I groaned in pain.

I could not issue out my voice. A part of the wall issued out a sound of collapsing and a rain of stone pieces fell onto my butt.

It had directly hit the center of my light armor, and like in a literal sense, it was completely destroyed.

The part at my back that had received a terrible impact seemed to be serious as well. In an instant, I removed it. The instant I loosened the support for the armor, it instantly collapsed onto the floor.

In the end, how much do I have to be hit till it is happy……!?

My upper body only had a ragged tight shirt and at the same time, I tried to let my trembling legs to stand up.

“FUMUUUUUUUUUUU……!”

“……!”

The muscles on my face tensed up.

It was uninjured.

Even though it was hit by so many blast of , the Minotaur’s entire body was fine, there was no apparent injuries.

My Magic only caused the thick skin to suffer from some burns and did not give it a fatal injury.

My teeth trembled nonstop.

Staring at me, who was at loss, the Minotaur, who lost one of its horns, was roaring towards the sky.

“VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

This is an Adventure.

This is the Adventurer’s , Bell Cranel’s, first Adventure.

??I can’t win.

Witnessing the bull issuing out a roar towards the sky, I could only see the despair.

The Dungeon was characterized by its getting progressively larger the further you go down.

At the 5th floor, it was already equivalent to the size of the central square. When you continue to go further down, its size continues to expand. By the time it reached the 40th floor, the size of the area was able to match the scale of the city, Orario.

Although there are floors in between that ignore this rule, but basically, understanding that the Dungeon is a conical structure is generally enough. The width of the paths, each of the rooms and etc. continue to become wider.

Although in an ……or even teams with dozens of people, wanting to reach the isn’t a big issue. However, the starting point, the 1st floor, was still rather narrow.

Inside the narrow path and rooms, the movement of large forces could not be described as free. If an army wanted to march here, advancing was already a daunting task.

Defeating monsters also became a waste of effort. After all, standing parallel together in an enclosed room was a violation of common sense.

So, in an where there are a large number of people, they will generally divide the forces into 2 or 3 groups and converge and meet up at an agreed floor.

Without exception, when the began, it had also split their forces into two groups.

“I say I say, Tione. Why are there other people here as well? These guys can’t be Supporters that were hired, right?”

“Idiot Tiona. Did you already forget the reason why we retreated last expedition?”

“?”

“They are blacksmiths, Tiona.”

“Ah!”

Under the leadership of the captain in , the Hobbit, Finn Deimne, the advance team consisting of First-Class Adventurers was about to arrive at the 7th floor.

While the group of approximately 15 people were currently hurrying nonstop, Tiona, Tione and Riveria talked in turn.

“Because last time, compared to us, our weapons were the side that did not survive, so Captain specifically arranged this in advance”

“As long as there are blacksmiths with the ability of are here, then all the weapons can become brand new again! Not bad, Finn!”

“Yes. After all, it is too inefficient to carry large supplies of spare weapons. I heard that Loki and Goddess Hephaestus had a good relationship, so I asked Loki to lend a helping hand.”

“We, who are not a Blacksmith , begging and pleading would give the others a sense of arrogance……I really want a team of Blacksmiths.”

Until the Middle Floors, the low level members of the ……in other words, the Supporters for the Expedition had the role of serving as the vanguard of the group. The First-Class Adventurers would only follow methodically.

Although for them, who would only need to use their true strength at the Deep Floors, seemed to be frivolously talking, but in fact, they are currently quietly saving their energy.

“Aizu, Aizu, did you hear!? It seems like ’s High-Class Blacksmiths also came along.

“Yes……I heard. Amazing.”

“Right?! If that’s the case, even in the Deep Floors, we can still go all out, right? I will go all out?!”

“I should say this in advance, even ’s blacksmiths will not be able to repair weapons that are broken.”

Towards Tiona, who hugged her shoulders from behind, Aizu silently turned her head and revealed a small smile.

After seeing that smile, Tiona also smiled.

Facing this Amazon girl that seemed to be born into the wrong race, even the cool Aizu Wallenstein’s feelings could not help but be melted.

Or rather, to them, who have a similar point in being battle maniacs, under her sister’s, Tione’s, commands every now and then, so she would play around and act like her own age.

“Ku?, the group of people, even if it was unexpected, but they should not pull our legs. Relax.”

“Well there it is?. Bate’s arrogant statement.”

Maintaining the state where she was glued to Aizu’s shoulders, Tiona threw an unhappy, yet interested gaze.

Bate faced Tiona’s gaze with “What you” while raising the corner of his mouth.

“Bate, you, why do you have to use such description? Does despising other Adventurers feel that good? I hate that kind of thing.”

“Don’t be mistaken. I will not do such shameless things of feeling superiority by despising these weaklings. I am simply telling the truth.”

Bate used his chin to point at the behind while saying “Don’t think that I am talking about them, okay?”

“Even if that’s the case, you should still speak and act cautiously. From what you’re saying, it seems like you are deliberately causing others to misunderstand.”

“A?Ahh?, annoying, annoying! The preaching of the elf makes my ears itch! Anyways, don’t suddenly interrupt others, Riveria.”

While shaking his amazingly gray hair that he had to manage, Bate seemed to impatiently lift his eyebrows.

From the left side of his forehead, to his cheeks and finally to the jaw, his lightning shape tattoos were all slightly distorted.

“Anyways even if it is you guys, thinking about the same thing as poor boobs won’t get you anywhere. You dare say these things when you also don’t have any sympathy when you see trash?”

“All of mine are only stolen by Tioneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!””

“Wait a minute, don’t say anymore, this kind of distorted thinking……”

“Indeed, I would be lying if I said that I sympathize with them. However, don’t you mix my pity with your insults.”

“If it is based on sympathy alone, I feel that elf-sama is even worse?”

Finn turned a blind eye to this and sighed. Bate and Riveria continued to argue.

Although he was not aiming at Riveria with that sentence, but elves easily have a conflict with other races. Even the werewolf that was between an wolf and a beastman, would occasionally be stubborn.

The people at the scene would not become serious, so it could be said that this was already a thing that was common. Even if it was unrelated with Riveria, Bate still was able to escape from her preaching.
