406angry dilemma (3)
After the lottery was over, the winners gathered together and formed a bond. And then we all gathered together and headed to the monument standing tall in the center..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
When you place your hand on top, a portal opens with five-colored brilliance..
“Wow, that's fascinating. The flow of magical power can be clearly felt, but there is a clear difference from the general development of space-time magic..”
“Is this your first time seeing a portal open??”
“yes. A wizard has no reason to be obsessed with achievements, right?.”
Even as the crew watched the portal open, saying one word at a time, the halo of light spreading in all directions soon formed a clear shape..
「The portal was opened for the first time. EXP +2」
Huh, I always think about it, but it's a bit unfair that opening the 8th floor portal is the same as opening the 1st floor portal..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
A cluster of five-colored lights that change into the shape of a sphere and shimmer..
When I look back, everyone just stares at me without saying a word..
Yes, I'm the one who opens it and I'm the one who goes in first.?
“According to the formation!”
Since I didn't know who might be beyond the portal, I formed a formation first and then stepped through the portal first..
flash-!
The white light spreads before my eyes.
Soon, the broken pieces came into focus..
「8Entered the Land of Dawn.」
land of dawn.
The depths of the labyrinth, which was referred to as down land (dawn land) in the game..
「Achievements achieved」
Condition: Reach level 8.
Reward: Permanently increases soul power by +50.
5Achievements are achieved, just like when you first entered the Great Demon Sutra, and a sense of expansion of the soul's container blooms..
So, they called it 'baptism'?
A mysterious phenomenon in which the tower bestows blessings on the explorer when a task is accomplished..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
I went in first and looked around, and the crew followed suit..
“few… No.”
“What a relief. I thought what if the enemy was waiting like the 'Battle of Goblin Forest' I heard before?.”
“I finally made it to the 8th floor..”
“I think this alone was worth participating in the expedition..”
About half of the crew members were baptized explorers. No, in fact, we have to exclude wizards and priests, so it is safe to say that it is more than half.?.
Well, from the 8th floor onwards, it is classified as deep..
“It's an amazing place…….”
From the looks of it, it seemed to be Erwen's first time on the 8th floor..
If I had to choose someone with experience, it would be Amelia or Ravien over there.?
“Whether it's an enemy or the 8th floor, it's okay, let's eat it quickly.!”
“Wow!!!”
“I'm hurt first! Please treat this quickly! It's been noticeably festering since yesterday, and now I can't feel the tips of my fingers.!”
It seemed like a riot would break out if the battle standby was maintained any longer, so a break was quickly ordered..
That's right, the food on the sledge is gone, but everything in subspace is fine.?
Creak, creak, creak.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
As soon as permission was given, the members took out food from their respective sub-spaces and hurriedly stuffed it into their mouths..
The person who was classified as having a minor injury and could not receive treatment started by chewing beef jerky and looked for a priest..
“Uncle, let’s eat quickly too..”
“okay.”
I was so hungry that I felt like I was going to roll over, so I quickly took out some food and ate it together with my teammates..
“I heard about it, but I didn't know it was such a peaceful place..”
“Are you talking about this land of dawn??”
“yes. I thought it would be a much scarier place because it was called the deep.…….”
Well, that sentiment is not wrong..
A towering green hill.
All you see is a vast meadow around you, and the warmth blowing through the wind passes through your skin..
Since you were shivering even in thick fur clothes just a moment ago, you will feel the change even more..
“You rest here. I looked around for a moment and came.”
After I was somewhat full, I left the group and left..
The captain has a job to do as a captain.?
It doesn't matter if you eat beef jerky while walking..
Creak, creak.
He puts five pieces of beef jerky in his mouth at once and chews them as he walks. A luxury that could not even be dreamed of just a few hours ago..
However, my heart is too heavy to simply be immersed in happiness..
That was the reason why I couldn't rest comfortably and was wandering around..
‘I don't see any cracks…….’
8The Land of Dawn is a very small area..
If you only look at the area of the field, it is probably the smallest of all the floors of the labyrinth..
And no monsters appear.
At least until you fall into the cracks..
‘In this case... It would be fair to assume who went in first..’
8The layer must have at least one crack open..
Which type opens is random, and when the crack is completely cleared, two portals open and you can choose..
Should we head to the 9th floor like this?.
Or will I come back to the 8th floor?.
Regardless of which option you choose, the moment it is cleared, the crack will regenerate on the 8th floor and the cycle will continue..
And the problem here is…….
‘I'm sure it's the Noark guys who have entered the crack now.…….’
Will they really head to the 9th floor?.
Or should I choose to return to the 8th floor and continue hunting in a different type of crack?.
If it's the latter, just resting here right now is a huge burden..
8If they are active on the floor, it is clear that they are an expedition unit, and their skills are not inferior to ours..
‘Anyway, I understand why the royal family is in a hurry.…….’
I can feel it when I come to the 8th floor..
2In the war years ago, the royal family lost many of its top explorers..
Of course, the power has now been restored to some extent thanks to countless policy support, the supply of stored purified water, and the return of retired explorers.…….
‘If things continue like this, it will only get worse..’
It's like Noark is using a cheat key..
Starting from the 1st day of entry, you start on the 7th floor.?
Doesn’t that mean you can go straight to the 8th floor and mine the highest level of essence?.
If this continues for a few more years, the gap between top explorers will widen exponentially..
‘……Still, I can't erase the essence, so even if the essence level is high, the combination will be bad.?’
Well, I guess most of them do..
In the first place, I have never seen anyone in this world who can combine integers as efficiently as I can..
90%I think it's just a random spec..
However, as always, there will be irregularities among them..
‘……Anyway, it's not something to think about now..’
I tried to ease my worries about the distant future..
First of all, it is a position under the royal family, but it is not like I will sacrifice my life to be loyal to the king..
Once you've entered the labyrinth, it's not enough to just focus on what's in front of you..
Yeah, I mean…….
“5We're leaving in a minute, so get ready.!”
The break that was like a sweet rain has ended..
We're about to enter the middle of enemy territory, so it's not a good idea to stretch around too much..
“Goodbye to this damn sled.!”
Sleds and supply boxes were placed in subspace, and various combat consumables such as potions and scrolls that had been sealed in subspace were appropriately distributed to each team..
Then, you are ready to resume your journey..
Clap, clap, clap..
When it was time to leave, everyone found their seats and lined up..
At first it seemed like a Tang Dynasty army..
It looks a bit elite now..
“depart!”
8The process of going through the layers to the Dark Continent was uneventful..
As long as you don't enter the crack, the 8th floor is not only a safe zone where monsters don't appear, but the portal is close enough to be visible from the hill in the first place..
plod, trudge.
Destination reached on foot in about 30 minutes.
“If you cross this point, you will reach the Dark Continent.?”
I checked with the naked eye from far away, but even when I looked up close, there was no problem with the portal..
It was a good thing.
If the Noark guys had left the 8th floor portal unopened, we would have just been here sucking our fingers..
‘……Well, I calculated that even if I didn't hunt on the 8th floor, someone would have been interested in it because of the experience points..’
I soon maintained my formation and headed towards the portal first, and everyone swallowed their saliva..
It looks like I'm starting to get a bit nervous as this is Noark's territory.…….
“Schuitz.”
As the car was about to enter, Kaislan spoke to me..
“How about saying something before we leave? Your words will be a great help to the expedition's morale..”
Well, I don't really feel like it..
It's just a waste of time.
Seeing such an indifferent response, Kaislan was startled and quickly added,.
“Now, think about it carefully. Isn't it a historic moment? If this expedition is successful and plays an important role in winning the war... … . Whatever you say will be left behind for future generations and recorded for a long time..”
Well, I don't know if this is a historic moment..
Looking at the look in his eyes as he tries to suppress his burning desire for fame, I can tell that he is so jealous of me that he is going crazy..
‘If I don't do it and pass by, I think I'll keep whining about how disappointing it is.…….’
Sigh, it would be better to just ignore it..
“Hehehehe.”
Soon, when I relaxed my neck, Kaislan straightened his back like a guard and shouted in a solemn voice..
“Gentlemen, listen! Now we stand before a major crossroads. Will you fail or will you succeed? Will you lose it all or will you gain it all? There will be people who are suspicious and anxious.!”
“…….”
“but!”
“…….”
“I, Meland Kaislan, have no doubt that we will go down in history as winners.!”
“Oh oh oh oh!!”
While Kaislan's team members actively cheered, the other members showed a sour expression..
Why is he coming forward??
This is exactly what it feels like.
But did you intuitively sense the atmosphere??
“In that sense!!”
“……?”
“Everyone listen carefully! Before carrying out the great mission given by the royal family, there will be a word from Lord Schuitz.!”
He passed his turn to me like roasting beans in a flash of lightning..
It was absurd..
What, you told me to do it, but then I said everything I had to say and then handed over the mic??
‘…Do you want to be recorded somehow like this??’
It's a psychology I don't understand, but the values each person pursues are different. I looked at the crew with their backs toward the portal leading to the Dark Continent..
Unlike when Kaislan, I was curious about what he was going to say..
I wonder if this is why American CEOs are so aggressive on social media. Even if you're worried about an accident happening, you pay attention to me..
Anyway, that's not the point.
“Hehehe…….”
I clear my throat once and look around..
I can see the faces of the members who have shared their joys and sorrows every day during the last expedition, and have now become very familiar with them..
Is that why??
At that moment, something I wanted to say occurred to me..
“I won't talk for too long this time either.!”
okay.
Because I already said once about killing a lot and earning a lot..
“Let's come back alive as much as possible!”
This will be enough for today.
***
「7I entered the dark continent..」
***
The late field of the Dark Continent, 'Dragon's Heart'’.
As if you were in a museum, there are huge vertebrae scattered around like ruins, and the floor is full of skulls and bone fragments..
Good job, good job.
Go there as quietly as possible..
“…….”
There is no conversation between crews..
Well done.
There isn't even any light illuminating the surroundings..
Of course, this does not mean that there is a major problem with visibility..
Because the problem of darkness was solved with magic.
「Liard Ashed casted the level 5 support magic [Insight].」
Support magic up to level 5.
If you use this on a regular basis, it will consume a lot of horsepower, but it was something that could not be helped..
Aren’t we in the middle of enemy territory?.
Move as carefully as possible—
Gradually.
7Amelia, who was moving ahead of me due to limited floor space, suddenly stopped moving..
and…….
Whirring, whirring.
He quickly moved his hand and made a hand signal..
It means there is an enemy nearby..
The leaders who followed him joined the lead, and immediately used 'voice control' magic. So, I activated the team voice magic..
“The scale of the enemy is?”
“15number of people.”
Well, then it's just a small clan unit..
Well, if you're going to go around a place like this, you have to get together..
“What are you going to do? Is it a battle??”
“That's not natural. They are enemies that threaten the kingdom. Let's do it right now!”
“I also agree with Sir Kaislan’s opinion. A major is probably fine, but it would be safer to gradually reduce the number and move from now on..”
The team leader's opinions came together in an instant, and it was concluded that a surprise attack would be made on the discovered enemy..
As a captain, I also had no disagreement..
but…….
“Now then, let's hurry up and do it..”
“Wait. If you're going to do a surprise attack, prepare a little more. If wizards and magicians combine their firepower at once, the battle will be much easier..”
“Oh, that's true too. As this is our first battle, we are at the forefront..”
Why are they talking so seriously??
“Don't you know what a surprise attack is??”
“……?”
As I poured cold water on them, the team leaders tilted their heads and looked at me..
Well, it seems like everyone has killed a lot of people..
I don't think they ever tried to loot it first.?
“You're a wizard or something, just wait..”
“What are you planning to do by waiting??”
That's natural.
“When they fight monsters, we come after them.”
This is the basics of PK.
