There’s one reason for conquering Flauros’s dungeon.
If there were beings climbing one step at a ti from bottom to top like , I needed to make the battlefield sowhere other than my main base. Like the relationship between Ras Village and Ras Vegas, I needed a levee role to protect my dungeon.
"Hmm, slls good. A perfect place to wreak havoc."
The animal’s sll was strong. The pungent cat sll made dizzy the mont I entered. The sa went for Lune, who was stuck right beside .
"Lune. Hear anything?"
"...No. Nothing. It seems... blocked?"
"What?"
"Sound is bouncing back. Echoing. The air flow is blocked. The passage itself... seems blocked."
"Wait a bit."
I ran down the passage to check if Lune’s words were true. Like when Luna hid in the past, I shouted at the top of my lungs throughout the passage.
"AAAAGH!! Lune tastes like peaches!!!"
"Master!!"
I could hear Lune yelling from far away. Even that sound flew quickly with my shout, bouncing off the cave walls and returning as an echo. After running full speed for about a minute, the end of the passage was blocked.
"Hmm..."
The wall’s shape was quite strange, like it was recently blocked. It looked like they’d hastily worked overnight to seal the cave wall. I pressed my ear against the wall.
Scratch, scratch.
From beyond the fairly thick wall, I could hear the sound of claws scraping the ground. That’s when I realized why the portal opened to a blocked path. Flauros had temporarily sealed the passage. This was just a false wall, and if I dug through the dirt or knocked it down with force, a path to the dungeon’s heart would open.
"Master. There are enemies inside."
"Yeah. Is the thickness... 30cm? About that level. I can hear soldiers gathering inside all the way here."
Knock, knock, knock.
I knocked on the wall. I could hear the enemy soldiers waiting beyond the wall tensing up. The sound of swallowing, nervous growling, and even the sound of sharpening claws.
’Was Robo soup foreshadowing for this?’
If Solomon divined my future through summons, maybe Solomon could even predict the future. Of course, it was close to my vain delusion, but the situation was too creepy and interesting to call a re coincidence.
"Lune. What do you think the enemy forces are like?"
"Um... ones with sharp claws like Andras or Worwolf?"
"Right. Whether bipedal or quadrupedal, they’ll be monsters that use claws as their main weapon. It could be a place overflowing with real Worwolves, or maybe Werewolves. But Lune."
I clenched my fist, and Lune also pulled out her bow and drew the string.
"Does that an we lose?"
"No?"
"We ca to win, and we’re gonna thoroughly wreck this dungeon. Yeah. We’re gonna beat down everything inside."
I thoroughly punished those who ca to attack , but showed maximum courtesy to enemies I struck first. From their perspective, I was the bad guy, so I felt bad about just doing crazy things.
’And they’re dungeon masters.’
Flauros was also a dungeon master and could beco a mber of my legion. So I needed to treat them sowhat gentlemanly. I knocked on the wall once more.
"Anyone there----!!"
Hoping my voice would reach inside. My ringing voice surely reached beyond the false wall.
"I brought a housewarming gift!! Please open the door!!"
I shouted at the top of my lungs, but got no response. I stuck my finger into the wall.
"Hehe, my skill at digging through cave walls with my fingers is top-notch."
"Master..."
Lune looked at with pathetic eyes, but I knew. That Lune was swallowing at the sight of my fingers playing with the wall.
"Lune. Ready?"
"Yes."
I made a groove of appropriate depth, and Lune aid a wind arrow precisely at that groove. Lune’s archery, better than anyone at making holes, whether in straw or human heads, had already been sufficiently verified, and Lune was already performing her worth as a 3-star.
"Then...!"
Fwoosh!
The wind arrow that left the string pierced the cave wall. As soon as light from inside leaked into our passage, Lune dodged to the side.
Whoosh!
Flas spewed from a hole the size of a quarter. It was a bit hot, but not as hot as during the Gremory battle.
"Warm welco, hoowner!"
Whoooosh!!
The flas intensified. From the whole wall getting slightly hot, they seed to be spewing fire hard on the other side, but the flas couldn’t get even halfway through the small hole Lune had finished drilling.
"Don’t you want the housewarming gift!!"
Shut up and die!!
A sharp voice ca from inside. I naturally swallowed.
"A woman’s voice, right?"
"Master..."
"Lune, that was a woman’s voice just now. Definitely."
"It hasn’t been that long since you did this with in the sub-dungeon."
Lune pouted and grumbled. I stamped Lune’s lips with my thumb.
"I’ll do it once here and secretly do it once more. Deal?"
"If it’s like that, I totally welco it. Hehe."
Thank goodness Lune was so understanding. While Lune and I whispered quietly about what position to try this ti, the flas stopped. I shouted inside again.
"Excuse , but are you currently on fire?!"
Shut up! Shut up and wait there for three days, then get lost!
"Seems they’re totally scared, huh? Doesn’t seem like they’re trying to counterattack."
"...The voice sounds a bit hoarse?"
Now that Lune said it, it did seem that way. The growling wasn’t just threatening sounds, but forced hoarse sounds like a vocal cord injury. Of course, even that voice was appetizing.
"A claw-bearing demon that uses fire. Maybe sothing like a salamander?"
"What’s that?"
"Ah, lizards that breathe fire. I don’t know if they exist in this world. Lune. What do you think?"
"...I wonder. Maybe a griffin? A monster that spews fire from its mouth."
"That would be nice. Either way, we can’t confirm without seeing it directly, so step back. Gotta greet the hoowner."
Lune quickly moved away from the wall, and I also created distance. Behind us was already a wide tunnel that Li had dug.
"Lune. Do you know why popular restaurants have lots of visitors and regular custors?"
I picked up Lune and jumped into the hole.
"Because you don’t get sick of it even after eating there once."
Sa with tactics. Could a re 64th rank block tactics that even Gremory fell for?
’If they block it, I’ll acknowledge they’re smarter than Gremory.’
If they can’t?
’They’ll get eaten like Gremory.’
"Master, you’re already thinking about eating Flauros, aren’t you?"
"...We ca to a restaurant to eat, not to take pictures!"
At my words, Lune nodded vigorously. A scam that worked once won’t work on the sa opponent, but the current enemy isn’t Gremory.
"Master, but what if this gets blocked?"
"If it’s blocked, we’ll break through."
But it won’t be blocked. Last ti at Gremory’s dungeon, it took ti carefully figuring out the enemy dungeon’s interior and learning the structure, but this ti, the purpose of digging tunnels was different.
Crackcrackcrack!!
Five Sli Dragons rolled in a cylinder formation like a pentagram. The Sli Dragons drilling into the ground like drills perfectly dug the tunnel at the exact angle and size under Li’s guidance.
"Here we go!"
I gently set Lune down and ran forward. Li changed the Sli Dragons’ direction the mont it heard my voice.
Upward.
Crackcrackcrack!
The mont the Sli Dragons that had been going straight turned their heads up vertically, I also jumped far toward the bent section like high jumping. Right above my head, a Sli Dragon stuck its head halfway above ground.
"Wh-what?!"
A sharp, surprised voice hit my ears. At the sa ti, the Sli Dragons stuck to the wall, creating space. Li had already prepared to lift up by making its body like a support.
Wobble.
I stepped on Li with my jumping foot. Li used all its strength to bounce up, and I soared vertically like stepping on a cloud board. And just before exiting the cave, I grabbed the scruffs of the strongest Dragons, Units 1 and 2, and flew up.
"Ascen-sion Dragon Fist!!"
No flas ca out, but instead, the Sli Dragons sprayed sli everywhere. In the clearing for interception stood leopard-like beastn with heads blazing on fire, baring their teeth at us.
Kyaaaa!!
"What. Your head burns, but you’re not bald? Lucky you."
I gripped the Sli Dragons in both hands tightly. The Sli Dragons stuck to both my hands like gauntlets.
Kyaaaa, kyaaaa!!
The burning leopard beastn gaped at . Except for heads blazing with flas, they were typical beastn with animal ears and tails. All ten or so beastn in the room had heads on fire, and sohow they were all covered in small wounds.
"Hehe, you guys just finished fighting, huh? That’s why you sealed the entrance."
Just like how I sealed the dungeon entrance after beating Gremory, Flauros must have sealed all passages too. To buy ti to recover wounds.
"But I happened to show up? Can’t be helped. You were fated to be eaten by . Especially..."
I extended the Sli Dragon Unit 1 forward. Toward the one who appeared to be the leader, wearing distinctly feminine clothing, unlike the other beastn.
"You. Hehe, you’re this dungeon’s leader? Flauros?"
"I thought you’d be fat as a pig, but even your eyes are fat? Do I look like my dad to you? You stupid pig bastard."
"You’re a friend who carries rags in your mouth!"
Two Sli Dragons wrapped around up to my arms and stuck tight. Thick whips about 1 ter in diater and several ters long were instantly connected to my arms.
"Seems you’re a beast that needs beating to co to your senses!"
I slightly laid the Sli Dragon to the side and—
"This is called Whirlwind!"
Spun 360 degrees in place. The heavy Sli Dragons were forcibly dragged along by my strength and spun, and I used that centrifugal force to spin even more powerfully one more ti in place.
"Wh-what—?!"
Flauros(?) and the leopard beastn jumped back in surprise, but the Sli Dragon was already spinning as a windmill with its tail lifted. They dodged the Sli Dragon’s tail with quick movents, but that much couldn’t stop our attack.
"For putting out fires, sprinklers are perfect!"
I spun one arm faster and spread both arms left and right.
Whoosh, whoosh, whooshwhooshwhoosh—
My body, which seed about to tilt one way, leveled out, and the Sli Dragons wiggled their bodies and sharpened their tails. As expected, experience wasn’t for nothing—Sli Dragon Unit 1 nodded as if already ready. I gave orders to et Unit 1’s mindset.
"Unit 1, fire!!"
At my firing command, massive sli spewed from Unit 1’s tail.
Splooosh!!
Unit 1’s squelching bodily fluids scattered everywhere. Each lump was baseball-sized, and the firmness was about as soft as a practice ball.
But even practice balls, with my strength and centrifugal force, and hitting dozens simultaneously—that was enough pain to die from.
Thwackthwackthwack!!
The leopard beastn at the front got hit all over with sli lumps and fell down. Unit 1 poured out about half its fluids through its tail, and the balance of both arms quickly collapsed as so much fluid drained out.
"Unit 1 rest, Unit 2 ready!"
At my command, Unit 1 relaxed from my arm and rolled to the floor. Unit 1 settled on the cushion Li had prepared with Units 3 and 5, and soon after watching its seniors’ actions, Unit 2 also finished loading.
"Fire!!"
Gugugugugugugu.
If Unit 1 spat out lumps like vomiting, Unit 2 shot lumps at the beastn like precision shooting. The beastn hit at full speed in the forehead, knees, scrotum, etc., by sli spheres slamd into walls without even a chance to scream.
Fwoooosh.
Unit 2 also quickly shriveled. I gently tossed Unit 2 onto Unit 1, and using the remaining centrifugal force from spinning, threw my body at the female beastman who was the only one still standing.
"Custor incoming!!"
I literally threw my horizontally spinning body at the beastman.
