Chapter 55: On the Verge of Drowning

 

Let’s continue the search. Since we can’t really carry the previous armor that Claire used, we had no other choice but to throw it away here. This armor was soaked in Claire’s sweat and body odor. Although it can’t be helped that there’s no camera here, but it would have likely be popular if I had the equipment shop buy it along with the photo. Obviously I won’t say it since she’s going to absolutely looked at me with cold eyes if I said that.

 

I guess around 10 rooms left for the right side? Although it would be the best if the treasure appeared without any battle, the real world is not that easy. Enemies reaction appeared on the last room of the right side. But the size is really a joke. The red spot indicating the enemy is filling the room to the brim.

The area of the room that we have searched so far is around 10 tatami mats on average. For a monster a size that big to be there, just what kind of monster is it? In the first place the door is only at the size that only human can go in and out. It will be impossible for this thing to go out even if we open the door.

I want to ignore it if possible, but there’s a possibility that the ring is hidden in that room. We prepared ourselves and open the door. I let everyone take some distance if by chance I received surprise attack. If this is a trap, I really want to avoid the situation where we’ll get wiped out.

 

Although I stick my ear to the door to listen to the inside, I don’t hear any moving sounds in particular. There’s neither groan nor footsteps, so it didn’t seem to be moving. Since I won’t accomplish anything with just this, here goes! The moment I pulled the door open, a large quantity of liquid with viscosity gushed out from the inside. The liquid entangled all over my hands and feet that are near the door. This…. This is not water! It’s a slime!

When the slime  overflowed from the door and swallowed my whole body, it dragged me inside the room. I can’t breathe since my mouth and nose are clogged!

 

“Gabo-!” (Est)

There’s burning pain on my whole body, and I can’t open my eyes,. Is it going to dissolve it’s prey!? Although I moved my hands and feet to struggle, it seems that I’m completely inside its body, so there’s no place for my hands and feet to touch. Although I’ve become light-headed from the acute pain from the lack of oxygen, I exert the last remaining strength to harden the image of my magic. If this doesn’t work there will be no other means for me to resist.

The moment before my consciousness fades, I released the lightning magic from my whole body using my whole magic power. The lightning spread out on the whole body of the slime, instantly vaporizing the body of the slime. The slime which received a strong electric shock died instantly, throwing me down on the ground once it lose its power.

 

“*Cough!* Pheeew! *cough!*” (Est)

I coughed while spitting out the slime which I have swallowed. It felt so disgusting having the slime enter the hole in your nose. The pain didn’t go away since it enter my ears and eyes too, if there’s no healing magic and my skill, I won’t be able to continue fighting. Still, that was dangerous. I’m nearly getting drowned inside a dungeon. This might have been more dangerous than the time I fought the Dullahan. When Diabell test the water spirit, I’m aware that an attack that could suffocate your opponent is dangerous, but I completely forgot about it and got careless.

 

“Master!” (Claire)

“My Lord!” (Diabell)

“Master~!” (Shallie)

Once the slime began to flow outside of the room, everyone rushed to check my safety. I stop Claire who tried to lift me who is covered with the slime using her hand, then I heal my wounds using healing magic. It seems that everyone got quite worried…. I must act more carefully. Although I was able to deal with it since I’m the one being swallowed, I shudder at the thought about what would happen if everyone got swallowed by it.

 

When I looked around the room where the slime had disappeared, there’s a huge monster core which is shining brightly. There’s also a corroded treasure chest inside the room, where I discovered a dagger when I looked inside.

It’s quite a splendid dagger. The design focused on utility instead of being flashy, even the me who doesn’t know a lot about weapon knew that this weapon have some special power. It doesn’t feel rusty when I took it out of its sheath to see it. It remained in the same state even when it hasn’t been used for a long time. When I lightly swing it, surprisingly I was able to swing it faster than my normal speed. When I try to swing it seriously this time, I was able to swing it around double my normal speed. Apparently, it’s a magic dagger that grant bonus speed to the user. Since it’s shorter than the sword that I’m using, I decided to give it to Diabell.

 

“Is that okay, My Lord? I don’t even have any problems with my current sword.” (Diabell)

“You need to somehow deal with the enemy that approached you. Once you reached Gold-rank, it’s necessary for you to have a few spares.” (Est)

 

I wonder if she understood my explanation, Diabell received the new weapon. Since we level up from the slime just now, let’s check the status.

As it was a powerful enemy, all of us level up by 2. I guess this time I’ll take 『Shield:Level 3』? Now then, with this we’ve searched all the room on the right side of the main road. As soon as we reached the main road to finally searched the room on the other side, I heard the sound of people fighting alongside with the sound of explosion on the right side of us. That should be the deepest part where the Dungeon Master is at. Since there’s only one other party aside from us in this dungeon, that should be the one from the prince’s faction.

 

When I take a quick glance at everyone, they all understandingly nod. We should go see their state. Once I nod back to everyone, we start running towards the deepest part of the dungeon.
