Chapter 134

chapter 134

we began to conquer an a-class dungeon.

summer vacation is half over and it’s early september.

our purpose is to level up, to get more expensive weapons and armor, and to get a mana recovery ring.

we have been making good progress with c-class and b-class dungeons, but the a-class dungeon is taking longer than ever. i thought i’d take a look at the september auction but the dungeon is our top priority.

information we know about a-class dungeons

a-class dungeon consists of cba-rank magical beaststhere are only 4 a-class dungeons in the academy citya-class dungeons have 15 to 20 floorstravel time for one floor of a-class dungeon is about 24 hours

the 24 hours per floor travel time is a big bottleneck. this dungeon is very wide.

assuming we walked at 5 kilometers per hour, the shortest distance might be 120 kilometers, but the path is complicated and long and has many dead ends.

even when i used eagle to search for the correct route, the path was too divided and i couldn’t find one. there are countless paths that divide throughout the vast labyrinth.

if you don’t set off with a certain amount of determination, you’ll never be able to move from the starting point, so you keep going, but it’s not uncommon to turn around after you’ve made a lot of progress.

if i connect all the paths in the dungeon, the distance will be well over 1000 kilometers.

and some new traps have been added as well. one of the new traps is the “transfer trap”. if you step on it, it will randomly send anyone in the magic circle to somewhere else in the dungeon.

of course, there is also the fact that a magical beast is waiting for you at the destination of your transfer, but that is not the threat of this trap.

we don’t know where we would be transferred in this vast dungeon. and we don’t have a virtual window-like skill that allows us to see the map or rely on it to conquer the dungeon. if we step on a transfer trap disguised as a floor stone, we will be sent to somewhere in the vast dungeon.

that’s why we are advancing slowly. i’m making a map with my grimoire as we go, but i need to get back on the original path from where the map’s path has been torn.

if we don’t get back on the original path, we won’t know how to turn around.

thanks to this, it will take us weeks to conquer the first a-class dungeon.

“good morning.”

“oh, good morning.”

dogora, who was sleeping beside me, replied.

i didn’t start sleeping in the same room as dogora at the base.

this is the twelfth level of the a-class dungeon, and we’re more than halfway through. i want to conquer at least one a-class dungeon during the summer vacation.

we couldn’t conquer the dungeon in one day, so we started staying in a small room in the dungeon. naturally, kurena, cecile, and kiel are all here.

it’s a small room, but it’s about the size of a 25-meter pool.

we burn wood and have dinner in the dungeon. i also keep my sleepover kit in . i don’t bring in anything like a large tent that won’t fit in the . if we had brought something like a cart, it would slow down our movement speed. we only stay one or two nights, so i keep my luggage to a minimum.

“didn’t the magical beasts attack?”

i summoned 8 frans: 5 to ride, and 3 to act as bait that runs in front of us. this doesn’t completely prevent traps, but it does reduce the number of times we have to step on transfer traps, which makes it much easier.

“two orc kings and a cyclops ahead!”

“”oh!””

the three frans that preceded us came into contact with the magical beasts. we all took our battle stance while riding frans.

kurena and dogora both grabbed their weapons and charged at the three b-rank magical beasts.

it’s been a long time since we started our raid on this a-class dungeon, so the two of them have advanced quite a bit in level.

they’re not afraid of b-rank magical beasts. i don’t think they were afraid even before their level rose in the first place.

the two’s skills, and , seem to increase in power as their levels increase. the power of the skills that have reached skill level 4 dealt great damage to the magical beasts.

kurena defeated an orc king first, and shortly after, dogora defeated the other orc king. since kurena’s [attack] is much higher than dogora’s, cecile prioritized attacking the magical beast that dogora was fighting. we are getting better at working together in this area.

“all right, all that’s left is the cyclops!”

with my words, we attacked the cyclops, which was even larger than the orc king. b-rank magical beasts are usually 5 or 7 meters in length, and their bodies are huge. maria used her special skill [psychic] to reduce the cyclops’ health.

then, kurena and dogora attacked it together, and the cyclops was slowing down and was about to be defeated.

“gluaaaah!”

the cyclops swung the club in it’s grip. dogora guarded it with his axe, but he couldn’t kill the power behind it and was thrown off fran and.

“dogora, are you okay?”

he was blown away to the position where cecile was, which was quite far back. cecile, who was right behind him, shouted out in concern.

“oh, it’s nothing.”

it was then that he grabbed his axe and was about to return to the front line.

krik

“”huh?””

kiel tried to cast a for the blown-up dogora. i was also making sure that dogora was okay.

a magic circle emerges from underneath the dogora’s feet.

the transfer trap was triggered.

then, dogora and cecile disappear from allen and the others.

the two of them had been transported somewhere in the dungeon by a transfer trap.
