Book 6: Chapter 7


    <strong> Dungeon Ruins </strong>


    We entered the dungeon.


    There probably wouldnt be strong monsters inside, but just in case, I still summoned Hakoku from the Realm of the Spirits.


    ording to Tina, this dungeon had 10yers. We were currently in the firstyer, and the monsters here would be level 30 or so. The deeper we go down, the higher their level.


    This dungeon had a rtively simple structure. A straight, wide path continued on with asional narrow roads on both sides. Several rooms were there containing either monsters or treasures.


    We walked on the central main road and only a few monsters appeared. If we wanted to fight monsters, it was best to continue on the wide road.


    Tina still remembered most of theyout of the rooms, as well as the circumstances of monster appearances.


    No strong monsters will appear until the thirdyer, and you cant find significant treasures here, either, I think. Most of the weapons we left here were already retrieved.


    The dungeons in this world had two types of patterns.


    First was the dungeons controlled by the Dungeon Master, a type of demon, and these dungeons were considered suitable for adventurers. For some reason, treasures periodically appear here, and the monsters that were supposedly defeated reappeared again after a fixed period of time.


    It was easy to level up there, and items were easy to get, so, many adventurers continued to do those types of dungeons as challenges.


    Apparently, the Dungeon Master was also collecting Dungeon Points, and it managed the entire dungeon.


    The adventurers who trekked the dungeon and became friends with the Dungeon Master then ryed that information to the Adventurers Guild.


    I saw that in a book called [Adventure Travel Guide] before, so that got me curious about this so-called Dungeon Master.


    The management of the dungeon seemed fun.


    The other type of dungeon was made by the deities. They were constructed to train heroes, so the monsters with strong mana would spontaneously appear in there.


    The dungeons that the deities created, nicknamed deity dungeon produced items that had exceptional qualitypared to those from the adventurer-targeted dungeons, but once a person obtained it, that item had to be consumed, or else itd be broken before it could be replenished in the dungeons.


    The equipment that transferred heroes got from the deity dungeon would then be kept by the country that the heroes were affiliated with, after they returned to their former worlds.


    Almost all of those equipment would be national treasures. That was how marvelous the items from the deity dungeons were.


    However, since the national treasures were treated with utmost care, they wouldnt be broken, so the deities could not provide new ones in the treasure boxes of the deity dungeons.


    This historic ruin was also a deity dungeon, and Tina and the Guardian Hero had already travelled all over here, so there was not much anticipation towards the treasures.


    Well, we didnte to her to search for items, so thats fine.


    Ah, but when Ryuuka and Youko heard about that, they were depressed. They seem to love treasures so much.


    No treasures probably existed, so Ryuka and the rest didnt have toe. But if I didnt go through it, I got the feeling that I wouldnt be able to get information regarding the Guardian Hero.


    I requested Youko, who got the fighting ability that I might need in order to go through this, and Ryuka was essential, especially because of her rebirth and restoration abilities.


    I had some misgivings in taking Tina, but she insisted, so I couldnt say no. Its fine, well manage thats how I felt.


    When using mind reading, a lot of mana flows into the brain of the caster, and it bes very stimted. That was why my intuition functioned really well recently.


    It wasnt at par with Elder Brother Leon, and still inferior to the beastkin Sallys skill, but it was extremely convenient. If there were alternatives, I was naturally guided to the option that would yield the best results.


    That intuition was telling me that it would be fine even if I took Tina with me.


    Alright, back to the story. Luna was the one who called out to the others at the entrance. She was like a walking library  not exaggerating there  thats how great her knowledge about items and equipment were.


    She also had a keen eye, and could notice any trace of abnormality right away, so she was the one member that I wanted to take with me at all cost in this dungeon that might contain something.


    And now, my intuition was telling me that its better to take her along.


    And so, I invited Luna to the dungeon exploration, and she happily agreed.


    Leaffa, Mai, Mei, and Merdie came, saying that if Tinaes then we will, too.


    I invited Ryuka, so of course I also told Ryuushin, who also agreed toe.


    At this point, it would be rude to leave Luke out, so I also invited him.


    And so, the entire ss would now explore this dungeon that didnt even have a rare item in it.


    Until 3rdyer, huh, then lets go forward quickly.


    Agree.


    Hurry up, <em>meow</em>!


    We defeated the level 30 monsters that asionally popped out from the corners of the passages, and strode straight on through the center road.


    We finally arrived at the furthermost part ofyer 1.


    A heavy looking stone door stood here.


    The Boss Monster was just beyond this door, and we had to defeat that in order to advance to the secondyer. When Tina went through here before, the boss at that time was a level 40 Goblin Fighter, and it had a few goblin followers around it.


    Yup, if that was all then easy-peasy.


    The door opened on its own.


    A huge room was beyond it, and at the dead center, we saw a 2 meter tall Goblin Fighter nked by two goblins


    <em>Fire Lance</em>!


    <em>Flying Fist</em>!


    Two ming spears pierced the Goblin Fighter, and the lump of mana that jumped out sted off the goblinckeys.


    The instant we confirmed the existence of the boss, Tina and I released Fire Lance, while Merdie and Ryuushin released the Flying Fist, all at the same time.


    By the way, we didnt n this. I just wanted to try saying I yed the boss even before we entered, huh  you know.


    I was kinda surprised that aside from me, 5 other people also thought the same thing.


    Everyones magic activation is too fast.


    Leaffa, who didnt make it in time, lowered her jade green bow as she muttered that.


    Yup, that kind of speed is impossible.


    Luke was troubled on what to do with the mana he released for casting his spell.


    Luke and Leaffa both tried to release their magic attacks, too.


    wait there, Luke, wasnt that too much mana for a Goblin Fighter?


    It was not the level of a high-ranking spell, but he did release enough mana to cast the highest level of the mid-range spells.


    Luke, if you dont need that, then can I have it?


    Youko wanted the mana that Luke released. Youko could suck the mana of other people and store it in her tails. She would consume arge amount of mana just by living day to day, so I requested the Divine Beast Shiro to regrly give her mana.


    Yup, itd be a waste, so here, have it.


    Thanks a lot!


    Youko held up her hand, and Lukes mana was sucked in. For some reason, Youkos bust size seemed to have increased.


    Dont tell me, the reason why Youko was consuming so much mana was to maintain her human figure when she humanized?


    While having those convo, we then entered the Boss room in order to proceed to the nextyer.


    E/N: So, mana makes your bust bigger.


    T/N: True, at least in their case. How nice if that was also applicable in this world lol.
