87 Episode 0087



"What have you achieved?"

 Elena's voice echoes through the remains of the battlefield.
 At the end of his eyes, there is a rare form of water monkey that died after being pierced through the head by a connecting sword.He was leading a herd of monsters only a few seconds ago.
 Looking around, the monsters, led by the rare species, attacking the Elena, are dead to death.
 Also, in the forest behind them, the Water Monkeys, who were kept in check by Seto, see their boss dead and disappear into the forest.

"Are you safe, Elena?"

 He nods softly as he approaches her with a Power Ax.

"Well, I have no problem.Is it better for you to take care of the avant-garde with an unfamiliar axe?"

 When Elena learns that Elena is not injured, she looks at her smiling face, and I'm relieved to see that she doesn't seeming to have been injured.

"Yes, I had some injuries, but it was almost like a scratch, and the injury was recovered by Custe's magic."
"... well, Custe has had a hard time, too.

 Elena called out to Custe, who was walking after Arla.

"No, it's my duty to recover,"

 He had a number of quarrels with Ray over the seeds of warning, but Custe himself seemed to have nothing to do with Elena, who had accepted it.... yes, to Elena.
 Custe stares at Ray, who is approaching him with an obnoxious eye, and gasps.
 and Ray, too, would have noticed that Custe was staring at him, spoke to Elena without a trace of concern.

"Do you want to go down to the basement at once, or take a break here?"
"... well, in the third basement, you'd better rest here for a while, considering you were attacked by lizardmen and spiders as soon as you got off.Ray, can you ask Sett to take precautions?"
"All right,"

 Ray nods to Elena's words and walks towards Sett, who is still wary of the forest.
 Elena, seeing him back, was troubled by the discord between Ray and Custe.





"Set, this time I'm saved.Here, eat this for now."
"Grull".

 Noticing that Elena was struggling behind her back, Ray spoke to Seto, who was wary of the forest.
 In his hand, dried meat was held, and Seto held it in his mouth, holding it in his throat, and lying down on the ground.
 Ray, too, sat down on the ground and leaned against Seto, wetting his throat by putting his mouth on a water bottle taken out of the mistling.

(Now Elena herself accepted "the seeds of commandment."The same goes for Arra.Even Ver had an atmosphere of obedience to his boss, so there was no problem... Then, I guess it's Custe.Now that I've been so strongly opposed, I think it's no wonder that I want to avoid the "mortem of commandment"and you'll have to be careful about the background from now on.)

"Glu?"

 As she passed the time patting Seto's head, who was rubbing her face against her, Ray heard footsteps approaching her.I was thinking about it until just now, so I almost reflexively reached out to the death size on the ground... and I knew who the footsteps were and stopped.

"Ray, I'm about to leave, but before that, I'll ask you to recover the monster you knocked down."

 Yes, it was Elena who was approaching.
 Ray also nods to Elena, who is smiling bitterly.

"All right.According to the information I heard from the adventurers yesterday, there are many undead people in the fifth basement, so it may be a little difficult at this party."
"Well, we must have been strict by ourselves.But fortunately, as I said at breakfast, the party has Ray, who is good at the magic of fire, and Seto, who can use the firebreath I saw earlier.That alone will save you enough."

 The fundamental undead are often made of flames, so there is a high risk that the Elenas alone were struggling.In that sense, Elena thinks she was lucky to be sent to the party.
 While listening to Elena's words, Ray stands up with his death-size hand.As he was instructed to do so, he stopped and turned to Elena.

"I beg you, Elena, to remember the subject of the precepts."

 The words must have surprised him.He nods immediately with an amusing smile.

"Of course, I will keep my promise once in my name.Or what? Do you think I will break the promise I made in the name of General Hime?"
"No, I don't expect Mr. Elena to break it.But there's something you can't say for sure?"

 I wonder who Ray is talking about.He opened his mouth by erasing the smile he had kept on his face until a few seconds ago.

"I know.To be honest, I didn't expect Custe to be so stubborn... ...that we don't get along well.Originally, he often behaved arrogantly towards people other than aristocrats, but in this case, it seems to be getting worse."
"I don't know about that, but please understand that if they try to pretend that they didn't do anything about 'the seeds of warning,' I won't be able to do it quietly."
"I have agreed in my name to accept the 'mortem of commandment,' and as a result I have been able to get through the war of attrition.Nevertheless, I have no intention of committing such a dirty deed as to insist that I do not remember making such a promise when my life is in danger.If Custe really wants to reach out to Ray for it, I don't mind slashing him, but I promise to kill him myself."

 Elena's eyes were serious when she said so.
 He was proud of himself more than anyone else, and he therefore clearly showed that he wanted the same from his men.
 and perhaps it was because he looked at it.Somewhere, Ray's body, which had been facing Elena nervously until now, suddenly loses its strength.

"All right.Let me believe what Mr. Elena said Mr. Elena."

 leaving the words behind, and storing the lizardman with the curved sword that Elena had knocked down in the mistling.
 After that, it will store the rare species of Water Monkey and four considered close associates, and even lower-ranked monsters like Goblin and Fangwolf will store all the dead bodies of the monsters in Mistilling.
 Eventually, only the remains of the monster's blood or the parts that had been cut off remained in the battlefield.They were buried in the ground because they could attract other monsters if left in this place.
 and the action was settled for a moment, and they finally descended to the fifth basement.

"Well, according to the information from the adventurers I encountered on the third basement, the undead appears on the fifth basement.Therefore, the ranks were changed.Seto is able to spit out firebrace to Ray, who can use the magic of fire as an avant-garde.I and Ver are the middlemen, and Arla and Custe are the rearmen."
"Well, Mr. Elena,"The axe is a weapon, and I am the rear guard."

 muttered Aara in a somewhat troubled tone, but Elena shook her head without hesitation.

"What I am asking of you in this fifth basement is that you will not be attacked by a surprise from behind.and while undeads of zombies and skeletons are likely to notice the footsteps and movement of their bodies, ghosts creep in silently.For that reason, I made Arra, who had a keen sense of intuition, and Custe, who was very observant, the rear guard."
"Oh, I see! I'll live up to your expectations!""Oh, I'm counting on you.Custe, too?"
"No problem.I will prevent a surprise attack from behind."

 Custe nods with a smile.
 In fact, Elena had until the day before planned to have Custe as himself and his lieutenant, and Ver as his rear guard with Arra.However, after seeing the conflict between Ray and Custe over the "Seed of Commandment" during the battle against Water Monkey, and considering the remark that Custe would respond to the attack, he had no choice but to join the ranks.Even Elena, while searching for Dungeon, determined that there was no possibility that Custe would aim at Ray from behind.

"Here we go,"

 He nodded to Elena's words and went down the stairs with Ray and Sett at the forefront.
 Everyone was ready to counterattack at any time to avoid a surprise attack, as was the case in the third basement, and so was Sett, ready to throw out his expected firebreath at any time.
 and what they saw when they reached the fifth basement after going down the long spiral steps...

"Dungeon, mushroom, forest and dungeon again."

 Ray muttered unconsciously when he saw the scene spreading before him.
 Right now, the dungeon itself is spreading in front of Ray, just like the first and second basement floors.The walls are shining in the same way, and the width of the road is the same as that of the place where Seto can fight comfortably.There's only one different place.

"Glu".

 A sad set.Ray soon found out why.That's...

"It stinks,"

 Yes, the rotten smell of meat floating from all over the place.

(No, I don't think it's rotten...)This is a hierarchy where undeads appear, and we should think that the meat actually smells like rotting bodies.)

"It certainly stinks, but does it stink that much?"

 At the end of the sentence, Arra nodded her head.Ver, who was listening to it next door, opened his mouth covering his nose with his palm.

"No, this is certainly too tight.If you have a normal sense of smell like Aara, you'll have no problem, but if you have sharp senses like me or Seto, it's quite difficult.It seems the same with Ray."

 He thought he understood Ray's high fighting ability, but he didn't even think his five senses were as sharp as him.Ver looks at Ray somewhat unexpectedly.

(No, by the frown of his face, he has a sharper sense of smell than I do.)

"Well, I have to put up with it because I have to get out of this class anyway.If you smell this, you'll soon get used to it."
"I think that means paralysis... well, that's all right.It's true that it's better to get through quickly than to step in this hierarchy, after all, as Ver says.Here we go, Seto."
"Glu".

 It starts to sing in a voice that is slightly stronger than before.
 Fortunately, it must have been a blessing for the party that they would not lose their way as long as it was a single road.
 While walking down the dungeon aisle, he always holds it in his hand and frowns without thinking of seeing Seto.

(Can't the smell of Seto be relied on in this class?...but it's a relief to still be able to rely on vision and hearing.or a sixth sense of intuition.)

 Then he walked straight down the aisle for about ten minutes.Seto's foot, walking next to Ray, suddenly stops.

"Set?"
"Grull".The set groans low as if watching the other side of the darkness.
 Just by looking at it, Ray knows what's going on, so he holds the death-size handle tightly so that he can respond to whatever happens.
 and the Elenas, who were behind him, must have seen what was going on.Each of them holds up his arms and looks beyond the darkness.
 Clack, clack, clack, clack.
 Such a light noise gradually approaches the Rey's.

"These footsteps... Skeleton?"

 Ray mutters, recalling the undead items he read in the Monster Dictionary.
 The answer proved correct less than a minute later.Two white skeletons appeared in the light of the wall.

(No, it's a skeleton, so we should count it as two.)

 It looks like a model of a human body, consisting of white bones with no pieces of meat all over the body.The eyes in the skull were also hollow, which was very impressive.The most different part from the human model is that the magical stone itself is protected by the ribs in Skeleton's body.The quickest way to defeat the undead in a physical attack without magic is to destroy the magical stone directly.
 The skeleton on the right had a rusted longsword, and the skeleton on the left had a spear, with its point and ear pointed at Ray and Sett.
 Then the two skeletons attack the Rays silently.
 The two animals are approaching with a clatter and clatter of feet on the floor of the dungeon.Ray opens his mouth, looking at Skeleton calmly.

"Set".

 Seto steps forward with Ray's instructions.In the meantime, Skelton approached him, but he took a deep breath regardless...

"Roll-rolling.

 Flames are exhaled from the kuchibashi with screams.Firebreath, Seto's only Lv.2 skill.Their power quickly engulfs two skeletons who are approaching them with weapons.The temperature of the dungeon's passageway rises by a few degrees Celsius due to the influence of the fire brace, and at the same time, the dungeon's wall illuminates the surroundings brighter than the dim light emitted by the dungeon's wall.
 A few seconds later, when Sett stopped the firebreath he was spitting out, there were only two remaining bones burning black and crumbling to the ground, and two half-melting daggers and spears.
