D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

§ 040 Hound of Hecate 11/22 (thu)

Having eaten and rested for a while, we set out for five floors at once.

The shallow hierarchy can come at any time, and we won't be looking into it seriously right now.

The enemy ran the shortest distance while clearing the water lance with an iron ball where it was unlikely.

That's how we got down to the fifth floor, and now we realize that we're getting more attention than we thought.

Bore-based and oak also began to appear from the fifth floor. That's why the Beginner Gear Round Explorer wasn't here.

Down the stairs, there are mostly Explorers based there.

That's what I was watching.

"Uh-huh. Senpai, what a surprise, us."

"I wish I had a cloak to hide my gear from."

Five to eight floors are wood-based.

There are forests on two to four floors, but this is a deeper forest. There are caves dotted everywhere, and they seem to be home to humanoid monsters.

"Oak, Forest Wolf, and Wild Bore are new. Night Wolf and Church Grimm also appear in the evening."

Miyoshi explained while looking at the tablet.

It seems that teams aiming for deeper depth often spend the night on the eight floors.

Ten floors are undead and the stairs to the eleven floors are far away. Eleven floors are lava floors and the environment is bad, and it's too far to go after that in a day.

And since there are augers and colonial worms on the previous nine floors, they could be attacked unexpectedly. Eight layers were chosen by the erasure method.

There was also a reason why the equipment brought in by the experience-style team had been gathered in the place during the past three years and something like a temporary base had been created.

Nevertheless, it's time for the night. It was a difficult time to go back and forth from this layer.

Near the stairs, some teams were preparing to spend the night.

The goal of the group waiting at night in this hierarchy is a dog-shaped monster called Church Grimm with red eyes on a black body that appears only at night on the fifth to ninth floors.

Originally mistaken for a Hellhound, this monster has a good chance of dropping a red liquid called a potion-like assimilator.

This liquid, which appeared only as a "potion" when touched, of course, did not heal the injury even if it was used, and initially it was considered a false heel potion as if it had no effect.

It was a coincidence that the effect was discovered.

Ten layers of Dan from generation to generation are undead layers with vast cemeteries. It was very cumbersome, and stairs to the eleven floors were hard to find at first.

That's when a team member rushed to use a fake heel potion to treat a zombie's arm.

Of course, the wound on the arm does not heal. The member who noticed the mistake hurriedly got away with using the real heel potion, but the problem was then.

Low-ranking undead, such as zombies and skeletons, ignored him as if he were one of them. At night, it was also confirmed that the effect would fade.

Since then, this monster resembling Hellhound has become known as Church Grimm in the sense of a ten-story tombguard.

Thanks to this, the ten floors turned from the floor of hell to a mere passage. We can now walk through it intact.

Seekers going from the eleventh floor onwards first hunt Church Grimm on the 5-9 floor at night to get the assimilation medicine. Naturally, the five-story entrance was the safest, and the eight-story exit was the easiest position. As a result, it seemed that they were mostly hunted either way.

We moved gently away from the stairs in the direction of the neglected so as to escape the eyes of the Explorer preparing to camp near the stairs.

A stream was flowing before I went for a while.

The river is about four meters wide and not as deep. I jumped over the river with a good heart. [M]

"Senpai, I thought it was a two-tier hike, but it's not a hammer."

Sort of. That heavy sanyoshi... "

Miyoshi, who pulled the right hook into the lever from behind, murmured, "Don't be hit unless you snap." My pussy, that's probably in different characters.

Miyoshi took out the base car after confirming that there were no people around because there was an open spot just right before I fell asleep.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Ha, you're tired.

Miyoshi, who entered the room and turned on the monitoring device, checked the surroundings reflected on the monitor and entered the shower room.

Dolly's outer circumference is completely covered with titanium, so you can't see the outside from the inside. It was supplemented by surveillance cameras installed everywhere.

While I was drinking the tea I took out, I looked at the monitor without even seeing it, and there was a clicking sound, and Miyoshi came out of the shower room.

"Senpai, please take a shower. Ah, please leave me something to eat!

Uuuuu

I put some lunches and sweets on the table and a drink, and walked towards the shower room... and I stopped to go.

"Screaming?"

Miyoshi jumped in front of the console and increased the sensitivity of the sound collector microphone.

When a small flash flashed on the surveillance camera's footage, I heard the same voice again.

"Sure, it's howling and screaming. Senpai, what do you want?

"You have no courage to see righteousness."

Miyoshi, hah, sighed, and threw in the earplug to guide as much as possible.

"Hang in there, please."

Okay.

When I answered that, Miyoshi rushed in the direction he was guiding.

After a while, across the river, a thick fog suddenly appeared. It is unnatural to say that it is a different world from that.

"Miyoshi, can you see the fog?

"I can see it, but it's darker than fog. It's black. I'm going to fly a little... drone inside."

They're loaded with drones. There shouldn't be any flying monsters around here, so when I stepped into the fog thinking, the voice of the barking beast, the shouting of intimidation raised by someone, and the screaming gradually grew.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"What the hell! Aren't these Church Grimms?!

A man with a pole arm about 2.5 m is shaking it sideways and lowering the opponent.

The wolfish monster had a large black body, but in the darkness, which had fallen a little, the body did not appear to have melted into the darkness, and only the red eyes and mouth insisted on its existence.

"I don't know! The basic Church Grimm is supposed to appear on its own... damn it."

The big man who answered so stuck his sword with both hands to the black monster who was attacking in tandem.

"Hell, I heard Hound will be in touch with you..."

Behind the men, a woman screaming, stopping the bleeding of a small man who seems to have fainted from his wounds, regained a little calm and said.

"They come out of the eighth floor, right?! But if these guys are really Hellhounds... do you have a bar guest?!

"Speaking of which, this fog that was coming out sometime....."

The men who were fighting looked at each other.

"Hey, Mishiro, leave Shota."

"What? What the hell are you doing...."

The woman who was called the third generation said so implausibly.

"If you're really a bar guest, there are nine hellhounds. I doubt we'll be able to get away with this."

"That's why...."

The Hellhounds were holding back their attacks as if they were enjoying their conflicts. The red cracked mouth looked as if the darkness were laughing.

"Then do something stupid! You're telling me to abandon my brother and run?!

"If you want to fuck with me, do it yourself!

That said, the men ran straight away.

"Ah, wait! Hold on!

The women suddenly stood on their knees and shouted, but the men did not look back.

You can hear several low groans from behind.

The woman bites her lips with remorse and grips the triggerless type releaser with her right hand, pointing an arrow at the compound bow.

Then, we released it with the aim of targeting the eyes of the hellhound that attacked in retrospect.

The voice of Cain raised by Hellhound gave a slight satisfaction to the woman, but the remaining three Hellhound jaw gates that are attacking at the same time will reach this body in a few seconds.

The woman closed her eyes as if she had given up.

The next moment, I heard a whistle, but the pain never struck me.

The woman's presumably open eyes reflected the back of a beginner-equipped man standing right there.

"Can you stand up and walk?

The man asked without looking back.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Why is it that trouble comes from place to place?

My LUC should be pretty expensive. I want to tell you to do your job a little bit.

"Can you stand up and walk?

That's what I heard. The woman saw a man with a terrible arm wound and fainted, and said, "If he gets up,"

"Come on, wake up. And there's a creek in that direction. Run until you cross it."

That's how I pointed me in the direction I came.

Bar guests can't cross the running water. I'm sure it's the kind of design you've been looking for on Earth.

"What about you?

"Well, we have to do something about these guys."

I can't help you...

"Out of my way."

The woman nodded immediately after seeing a headless hellhound body scattered around her.

She seems to be a smart woman with a pretty quick judgment. But why can't these bodies disappear?

When he sniffed something out quickly, the man moaned back to consciousness.

A woman is talking to a man about something. The man stood up as soon as he nodded. Looks like my feet are fine.

"Go."

I pointed in that direction.

The woman started running toward you with a man.

The four who tried to chase it all fed on Waterlance.

Resting assured that it would work for this level of enemies, I was calmly communicating the numbers.

Senpai, you seem to have room.

Well, the magic worked.

"From the top, there's something huge ahead."

"Probably a bar guest. I hear a dragging sound."

When the signs of the Hellhound disappeared, the dragging sound of the chains heard from the front was loud, and a creepy grunt roared from the darkness right there.

At the same time, nine magical teams appeared, and nine Hellhounds were summoned.

"Oh? Is this maybe lucky?

Yes?

I must have lived in Sanyoshi when I saw it.

The monsters who are summoning these must be a kind of bar guest from past examples, but it is likely that they are a special individual when they are summoned many times.

There's no doubt that the number of monsters defeated since we acquired Vital Detection is 69, so add the 7 we defeated to help them earlier and 76.

I mean, after killing 23 fish, after killing that special one...

Let's do our best with this.

Grabbing Tomahawk in both hands, he fired water lances one after the other at nine hellhounds.

It kept getting rid of his head before Hellhound got to me. Fourteen more!

When the next nine followed the same fate, the bar guests rushed up their heads.

The position of the red eyes in the darkness is high. It seems certain that the height is more than 3 meters.

"Hey, hey! I have five more!! Summon him!

I wondered if he was walking anywhere in the Night Wolf or the Oak, but this thick fog seems to be his territory, and I didn't see a single monster.

My tough nails pass by me.

It seemed like slow motion, so it was fine, but it had a lot of thrill.

I ripped off my right hind leg with a tomahawk I had in my right hand.

The bar guest, who screamed loudly, pulled his leg and summoned the kid again.

While praying that the order of 100 animals is the order of defeat, take care of the five that come and turn the saw in a light step.

So I rolled right in front of the bar guest and threw an 8 cm iron ball at my head in a row.

When the third iron ball appeared to penetrate the head from the lower jaw, the bar guest's giant body fell down with a loud noise.

"Ah, that?

However, the orb selection window does not open.

"Perhaps it was the order in which you attacked?!

Four hellhounds approached me when I dropped my knees unexpectedly.

Damn it, when I threw anything away, I heard a fallen bar guest groan.

"You're still alive!

While playing the hellhound, I hit several waterlances with a quick hit, and the usual list appeared in front of me in the fourth.

Seeing it, I unexpectedly forgot about the remaining four and took a breath.

--------

Skill Orbs Interlingual Understanding 1 of 1,000

Skill Orb Dark Magic (VI) 1/2,000,000

--------

The moment I hurriedly tried to defeat the four shortly after the attack, the fog instantly cleared up and the hellhound that attacked disappeared.

If the Summoner is defeated, will the Summon Monsters disappear?

"Senpai? The fog has cleared up, are you okay?

Miyoshi, it's an orb for a bar guest ―

A beautiful rainbow bead (orb) appeared in front of me trying to explain it.

"What about it?"

Making acquisition list is not closed. That means this is a pure drop.

Surprisingly touching it, there was indeed an orb written "Interlingual Understanding". Sorry, my LUC. You are doing your job properly. [M]

"Senpai? What was that?

"What, the camera is still alive? Looks like the bar guest dropped the orb."

"What? What is it?

"I'm surprised to hear that. I understand a different language."

Huh?

Were you surprised by the trio of boulders?

According to the list, what a thousandth of an understanding of a foreign language. It is highly likely that special boss monsters that are not regular monsters have a relatively high probability of being fed.

It's as if someone who set it up would just tell mankind to read the inscription. Some number must drop anyway.

"Sell it away at a high price or get dark magic in the meantime."

"Senpai, do you have any in the aubrest? Interlingual Understanding"

"Famous Answer. The odds are 1/1000."

"I don't know what else, but get it. Absolutely."

"Why? I already got one.

"Senpai, if there are only two people in the world with that skill, it's definitely a water theory."

I see. Miyoshi is absolutely right.

Considering the abilities of the bar guests, dark magic (VI) is either a fog space or a summoning of Hellhounds.

Since both are magic used by ordinary bar guests, it is highly likely that non-rare bar guests have them.

"If you don't take it, I'll tighten it up.

"Eh, what's that, a flag?
