An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 151: Signal of counterattack(Third Party Perspective)

"What's the plan?"

"Right now, we are rapidly increasing the mana concentration of the Earth. It is expected to exceed 50% soon."

 Two people face each other in a room made of grotesque objects.

 That's right, it's the Hooded Man and the Black Mist who live in the demon world.

 In order to invade the Earth, they sent the lowest level beings to the Earth, but they were mistakenly thought of as D-rank Bonus Monsters by Fuhito, and he killed them instantly.

 The Hooded Man, whose plan didn't go well, instructs the Black Mist to think about an invasion strategy using the lower and middle-ranked beings.

 In order to realize that strategy, he intervened in the Earth's Dungeon System and created Stampedes in various parts of the Earth to diffuse magical power and improve the concentration of magical power throughout the Earth.

 And finally, they reached the point of concentration of magical power where the lower and middle-ranked beings could fully demonstrate their power.

"I see. Little by little, does that mean that a full-scale invasion by the lower and middle ranks can be carried out?"

"Yes, as soon as it exceeds 50%, we plan to send 1,000 beings, including the lowest, lower, and middle ranks."

 The Black Mist answers the Hooded Man's question.

 The lower and middle-ranked beings are monsters that are equivalent to SS and SSS rank monsters.

 For the Earthlings, who had almost no explorers of SS rank or higher, to see themselves under attack by demons who are equivalent to A-rank or S-rank would be near despair.

 And the area where they would be sent could only see a terrible future from now on.

"Hmm. So, what are you going to do about Satotsu?"(TN:They screwed up his name, remember.)

 Satisfied with Black Mist's words, the Hooded Man asks about the matter of Fuhito.

 For the Hooded Man, he was thinking about how to convey his anger towards Fuhito rather than the invasion strategy itself. It's a complete resentment, but such logic doesn't apply to the Hooded Man.

 Strangely enough, the self-deserving Fuhito has pissed off the Hooded Man.

"Yes. For the time being, we don't know much about our opponents, so it would be a good idea to send our troops to a dungeon different from the dungeon where we sent our subordinates before, prepare the ground near that dungeon, and then collect Satotsu's information."

"Certainly. It's disgusting that I'm frightened by Satotsu, but I need information."

 As for the Black Mist, he thought they should be careful because their compatriots were easily killed, even though they were at the bottom, before they knew what was going on last time.

 Besides, he thought that if they took control of a town or village where there was no Fuhito, and started investigating after taking control of the area, the would naturally be able to collect information about Satotsu.

 At the Black Mist's words, the Hooded Man leaks out his anger as murderous intent, but he understands what the Black Mist is saying, so he decides not to say anything further.

"Yes, as you say, it's almost as if we don't know anything about what happened during the previous invasion, so in this operation, it's most important to gain control of the Earth world, but I think it's also important to gather information about Satotsu."

"That's true. I'll leave the arrangements pertaining to that to you."

 For the Black Haze, the wishes of the Hooded Man are his top priority.

 Although he wants Earth as a place for the demons to live, he thought that retaliation against Satotsu was more important than that, so he insisted that they should be well prepared.

 Fortunately, this decision was not wrong, and it was put into action.

"Thank you very much. Then, in preparation for the time to come, I will select the lower-ranked beings and the middle-ranked beings that will go on the expedition."

 The Black Mist, who was able to obtain the Hooded Man's permission, shows a relieved expression even though he has only a mouth on his face, and then bows to the Hooded Man.

 After this, he will first choose among the lower and middle ranks.

"Okay. I'm counting on you."

"Acknowledged."

 The Black Mist disappears like smoke.

 A complete silence surrounds the Hooded Man for a while.

"Has the opportunity finally come to show Satotsu a terrible experience. Last time I was made to drink boiled water, but this time it's not my turn. In this unit, many people woh are not comparable to the lowest-ranked beings sent last time will be sent. Even if he was a person who quickly slaughtered the lowest-ranked beings, there is nothing he can do about it. Kukuku."

 However, after a few minutes passed, the Hooded Man mutters to himself in the empty room.

 The Hooded Man can't help but burst out laughing when imagining Fuhito who interfered with his plans last time, being ravaged by his compatriots this time.

"Now then, I'll do what I have to do. I'll have to do something about that person's legacy."

 Feeling better, the Hooded Man mutters something to himself and disappears from the grotesque room.

 All that remains is the eerily beating interior of the room.

 A small change is taking place in the room where the tentacles gathered together to form a single pillar. The part of the screen that looks like a terminal flashes in red, and characters appear on the screen.

[ Overheating of the Dungeon System has been confirmed. ]

 No one knew about the adverse effects of this rapid increase in magic power density and forced system intervention.
