After going down to the second floor of the dungeon, Ray and his colleagues go straight to the stairs leading to the third floor while looking at the map.

"I thought it was a dungeon, how difficult it was... but it's less difficult than I thought!"

　Ahla mutters a poison toad about a meter at him, cutting him down without saying whether he's right or wrong.
　Next to him, Ray also fires a flaming bullet and turns the giant bat into charcoal, which he had been watching from above.

"It's still the second basement, so it must be for beginners..."

　Ver, replying to Arla, shoots an arrow at a giant frog in a distant position.
　Seeing the situation, Elena manipulates the connected sword and cuts the attacking bat with the whip-like sword.

"The enemy is weak, but with such a large number, it's troublesome."
"You are certainly right, Mr. Elena,"

　Custe nods, penetrating Soldier Ant, who approaches him as if he were sewing a gap between Elena and the others who are acting in groups.

"Probably because the number of monsters in the dungeon has decreased, the nucleus of the dungeon has transferred new monsters.That's what I wrote in a book about dungeon."

　After clearing up the attacking monster, Ray responds to Elena, feeding the bat to Seto, who had cut off its wings just like he had on the ground floor, and Poison Todd had cut off only the flesh of his feet and stored it in a mistling.

"Well, then we were simply unlucky.-- well, with an enemy of this caliber, there would be no problem.I'm in a hurry."

　I followed Elena's instructions and went up the stairs.And it's about time we saw the stairs on the map...

"It's a guest again,"

　muttered Ray, holding his death-size.

"What's next, Mr. Ray? Frogs? Ants? bats? Honestly, it's very troublesome to deal with all those small fish."
"No, I don't want you to tell me that.If that's the case, make it a dungeon core or a boss monster.What? It seems that Arra's wish has come true."
"What?"

　It was not the squeaking of a giant bat, nor the footsteps of a Soldier Ant, nor the poison-tord jumping.It's the sound of walking on two legs.

"Glu".

　Seto cries behind the party.It's just a cry to Elena, but to her partner Ray, she finds it a warning cry.

"Elena, it seems to be a pinckered attack.Judging from the sound of Seto's voice, it seems that enemies from behind, like those from the front, too.
"Yes, the monsters I've encountered so far were not intelligent enough to attack, but apparently not next."
"Well, after all, it's still on the second basement of the dungeon, so it's probably not that high of a monster."

　muttering, bowing Ver, and appearing from the end of the aisle was certainly a different monster, but at the same time, just as Ver had said.

"Goblin?"Nearly ten goblins appeared down the aisle, most armed with weapons such as long and dagger, and equipped with simple shields and armour, as Custeasily muttered by Custe.

"... very well armed for a goblin,"
"It's probably something I got from this dungeon or from attacking adventurers."

　When Ray answers Elena, who looks strangely impressed, a voice is heard from behind her.

"Five armed goblins have come from behind, Elena,"

　At Ver's word, Elena makes a prompt decision.Not to mention individual bravery, she is called a princess general because of her instantaneous judgment.

"On the contrary, does it take time to avoid fighting like this?I don't know what to do, Ray, are you and Sett the five goblins behind you all right?"
"No problem at all,"
"Then I asked for the back.We will be in charge of the ten goblins ahead."
"All right, then let's clean it up at once."

　Ray nods and moves behind Elena and Ver.

"Grull".

　Seto greets Ray with a cry, but beyond his gaze is the figure of five goblins, as Ver said.
　It was a dungeon, unlike the forests and forests, which had been transitioned by the nucleus of the dungeon.Therefore, attacks on superior beings that are not usually performed at all without hesitation.

"Two long-sworded men and three short-sworded men... Seet doesn't look very happy either."
"Glu".

　Seto nods as if to breathe out.for the Goblin magic stones are bought at very low prices, and there is no particular material to be found.And the meat is very bad, so he is not happy at all for Seto.The least salvation was that his right ear would buy him for three copper coins as proof of defeat, and that he could use some of the weapons that the Goblin's arms.

"...no, I can't do it said.

　Goblin has low intelligence.As we did this time, cooperative actions such as nipping can be carried out, but there is no concept of weapon maintenance.Most of the weapons possessed by the goblins are rusted with the blood of the adventurer, and even if they are recovered, they will not be useful unless they are maintained by blacksmiths or arms dealers.In such cases, selling weapons would not be such a big deal considering the difference.

"I can't help it.Let's do it!"
"Grunt!"

　Seto, who sang briefly to Ray's voice, kicked the earth and approached Goblin.Next to it, Ray also keeps his distance from the goblin in a death size.

"Laughing!"

　The Goblin, who came at Seto, who was attacking him with a long sword, kicks the ground and leaps toward the wall the moment the sword was swung, and attacks the Goblin, which, with the wall as a foothold, swung a blow with a long sword.

"Ringling!"

　The forefoot blow with the scream also causes the head of the goblin to burst on the spot, thanks to the effect of the bracelet, a magic item worn by Seto.
　Next to it, the bodies of two goblins, which had been dazzled by Sett's sudden triangulation, were beautifully divided into upper and lower bodies by a death-size flash which Ray had mowed sideways.

"Two left!"

　Ray turns himself around screaming, and the next moment the Goblin long sword swings past Ray's space.

"Did you think you could attack me with such an attack?"

　Shake the death size by taking advantage of the power that has reversed the body.The blade does not reach the goblin because it enters the inside of the dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger's dagger.And the goblin is hit by the handle, but the unfortunate goblin's over 100kg weight and Ray's own muscle strength causes it to break its ribs, blow it right next to the wall of the dungeon, and die in shock from the shock.Ray looked sideways at the goblin, which had collapsed to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, only to find the body of the goblin, whose head had been blown off, as in the first blow.

"Glu".

　Ray, smiling and stroking Sett's proud head, turned his eyes to Elena.
　I was just wondering if I needed help or not, but soon I understood that it was unnecessary.Elena's bodyguards are basically good... or rather, they are built around a strong presence in the sense of escorting Elena, even though there are some problems with her character, like Custe.Such men could not have had a hard time against the goblins.
　Ver shoots an arrow and keeps the goblins in check, and Arra, who is as distant as to pierce the gap, wields a long sword and halts the goblins.What is surprising is the rigid sword.for he had cut off the goblin with the helmet, though it may be said that he had cut off the goblin with the helmet.
　beside it was the figure of a goblin pierced with a shield by a demon spear thrust out by Custe, and the figure of Elena cutting off her head by bypassing the shield with a connecting sword.

"As expected,"

　The number of enemies is more than ten, even though it is a goblin.They are annihilated in less than half the number, as if nothing had happened.That was why Elena's ability stood out.
　and all the goblins, who had attacked him within minutes, lay dead on the ground.
　From these goblins, using a knife, he quickly cuts off the right ear of the proof of defeat, and stores it in a mistling, and goes on with Elena and others.
　The formation is led by Ray and Seth, as before they met the goblins.

"But the goblins didn't run away to the end,"

　muttered Elena as she walked through the dungeon.
　A goblin can be very belligerent to a weak opponent, but it has the character of running away without a trace when it is found that the opponent is strong.who fought against the Elenas, knowing they were overwhelmingly stronger than themselves, and fought to the end, and were annihilated.It must have been only surprising that Goblin alone would fight to the end, let alone by being led by superior or rare species.

"Probably some brainwashing or conscious manipulation may have been done when called to the nucleus of the dungeon for metastasis.The horned rabbits and the giant bats that came out on the first basement floor were also different monsters, but they cooperated."
"... now that you mention it, it said.If you think about it, should you think that the monsters in this dungeon are all working together to protect it?"

　Elena nods to Ray's words.
　And just as I was going to go further...

"Stop, boys!"

　Ver suddenly said so.

"Ver?"

　In silence, Custe's questioning moves forward of Rey and Arra and begins to examine the ground, and a few minutes later, a click echoes around him.
　By that time, everyone in the room understood why Ver had stopped his action.

"Well, it's all right now, I'm done with the trap.It was a trap where an arrow popped out when I stepped on the switch."

　The release of the dungeon trap was the first time for Ver to experience it, so he nodded with a smile.

"A trap set in some slackness after defeating the goblin... do you think this is a coincidence?"
"I'm sure it is.It's probably a trap set by monsters living in dungeons."
"Do you think so, too, Custe?"I can't believe there is such a nasty trap in the second basement.We need to be more careful from here on out."

　Everybody nods to Elena's words.Goblin's military strength, or the coming of arrows, is not such a threat, if you look at it separately.But it's important that there are monsters who have the wisdom to act by combining the two.

"Even if you are in such a shallow class, you must be careful.Everyone, don't be careless when you say the monsters that come out aren't strong."

　He nodded to his words, and while looking at the map, he went down the passageway toward the stairs to the third basement.Fortunately, he reached the stairs without any trouble or monster encounters, except for the battle with the Goblin.
　However, Ver's voice echoes from behind as Arra tries to take a step up the stairs.

"Ray, stop Arla!"

　At the same time as his voice, he saw his presence in Ray's field of view, and almost reflexively grabbed the neck of Aarra's armour and pulled it back.

"Oops! What the hell, Mr. Ray said. Ray?"
"Ara, take a good look at the stairs."

　It was Ver who spoke to Aarra, glaring at Ray with a resentful look.
　Aarah, with a quizzical look on his face, looked fixedly up the stairs, and what was reflected in his gaze was...

"Is this... thread?"
"Yes, that's probably a spider-like monster.It is very thin and light.Even if you touch the thread, you wouldn't even notice it if you touched it, let alone if you wore armor like Arra and us."
"And of course there is no reason why such a thread is set up in such a place for no reason."

　muttered Ray, following Ver's words.

"Yes, I think this thread is probably the triggering switch for some kind of trap.-- well, I don't mean to be so straight about it, and would you like to cancel it?"

　In answer to this question Elena nods thoughtfully.

"Well, if we don't get caught in this thread, we can straddle it, but if someone who comes later gets caught and dies, it's not easy to wake up."Ver, I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, it'll be over soon, so please take a break and wait.At this rate, the third basement will be in trouble."
"Perhaps so.All right, then, we will rest until Ver releases the trap.Ray, serve me something to drink or something simple food.I'd like to have something in my stomach before long."
"All right,"

　he said, taking out water bottles and sandwiches from the mistling and distributing them to them.
　Even though Custe dislikes Ray, he doesn't seem to mix up public and private affairs, and carries it to the reception desk without saying anything.
　though I had no words of thanks.
　and within twenty minutes the trap was successfully lifted, and he was able to descend safely to the third basement.
