We’re walking the route to the 3rd floor. By the way, we haven’t seen any adventurers yet. Is it still too shallow? But we should at least see some adventurers that are returning …… so I asked Roy.
“Hey, Roy. Since entering the dungeon we haven’t met anyone, any idea why?” (Haru)
“Hm? Aah, well it’s possible but the survival rate for C rank is 30%, so to speak, the dungeon is at a level where you won’t see C rank adventurers. And before that, wouldn’t they be deeper in?” (Roy)
I see. …… Huh? Thinking over it again, I thought C rank adventurers would all be challenging this dungeon but they’re all hesitating!? We’re testing our skills in a place like this!?
“O-oi! Are we really okay coming here!?” (Haru)
“Probably. From what I see, compared to C rank adventurers Haru is considerably better. You can use all magic attributes right? Normally you can only use one so if you meet something you have bad affinity with it will be a hard fight. That’s the main cause of the lowered survivability rate.” (Roy)
Aah, I see. I can’t use myself as the standard. If you can’t use fire magic in caves, then you lose the fire power of fire magicians. To biological types who are weak only to fire, that’s pretty harsh, huh. If you can’t have someone like me, then you’re limited on which magician to take. Saying that, it’d be mostly soldiers, but then if the enemy uses long ranged attacks then it will be difficult to effectively hit them. Their affinity would be bad. Dungeons are deep. …… I don’t mean that they’re deep in the terms of floors.
For a short while we continued, then 3 ant monsters appeared in front of us. They were taller than us. They were standing as if they were blocking off the road. Just like the last monster, their eyes glowed red. They noticed us and, unlike their appearance they moved quickly and drew near us.
Crap! Sensing danger I reflexively used body strengthening magic on me and Roy. The 3 monsters came speeding in started snapping at us. I exchanged places with Roy and jumped behind him. I invoked my original magic with earth and wind magic.
-Bang!-
The rock bullet hit the monster’s body, but the rock was the one to break.
“Seriously!?” (Haru)
This magic was supposed to be pretty strong. I’ve received a shock. For ‘You’re attack won’t work’ to be this terrifying. If my attacks don’t work, I can’t see a way to win. The only thing I can do…… is run? I was falling into panic and couldn’t move.
“Haru! Get it together!” (Roy)
Suddenly I see Roy approaching the monster.
“Roy! It’s dangerous!” (Haru)
Ignoring my words, he keeps drawing closer. That shell that could repel my magic, there’s no way he can behead it. At this rate Roy is gonna die…… One of the monster’s lowered its eye to look at Roy, and turned around and rushed. Roy jumped and landed on top of the monster.
“Eat this!!” (Roy)
Roy cut in the joint between the head and the neck decapitating it. Then, since the joint was not as hard, the head was cut off.
“Roy! You did it!” (Haru)
“Don’t relax just yet! There’s still 2 of them!” (Roy)
That’s right. We have to defeat those 2. I entrusted the finishing blow to Roy and I would draw their attention with magic. I began pounding them with stone bullets to draw their attention. Meanwhile, Roy would circle around and cut their joints. Playing our roles we defeated the remaining 2.
“Ha~…… There are a lot of different types of monsters, huh.” (Haru)
“Yeah. Monsters weak to magic, monsters weak to physical attacks, that’s the difficulty of the dungeon.” (Roy)
After we got the magic stones from the monsters, we rested and drank from the canteen I brought.
“Haru, what do you wanna do, go back?” (Roy)
“Hmmmm, we came this far, let’s at least look at the 3rd floor then go back.” (Haru)
“Yeah you’re right. Since we came all the way here.” (Roy)
Thus, we headed towards the 3rd floor.
