Chapter 51 - Howl (2) (2/2)
The metal bat he’s holding is already tattered, the one he’s holding now is already the third one.
My father is in charge of the overall follow-up, and I use the Dragon Fang to deliver the final blow.
As with right now.
“Kunpei! Jump right!”
“Ou!”
I unhesitatingly followed my father’s warning.
I jumped right without a moment’s delay, and a dark meat jumped over and struck the wall.
I glanced at the completely smashed dark meat, then scowled at the remaining two.
I already know how to defeat them.
Dark meat’s split up.
They successively multiply at double the speed from the cut.
But during that time, its core is exposed.
It’s a tiny pebble.
To put it simply, meat only swells from its surroundings.
It seems like a pebble is always formed, one for each side of the cut, and that was how the Dark meat divided itself.
It’s easy to stop it.
Just stomp on the pebble.
I carefully observed the dark meat I cut in half, and stomped on the two stones as quickly as possible.
If it was Dark meats, you can defeat them while making it just feel like work.
Repeatedly driving them back with that formula, my father and I cleaned up that group of Dark meats in a blink of an eye.
“Phew, can I have some water?”
“I somehow manged to preserve it, there’s only two bottles left.”
We initially brought four bottles.
That doesn’t seem like a lot, but in accordance with Mikuma’s research, there was a spring that became a water supply point, so there was no problems.
“But, I’m really getting accustomed to it, this darkness.”
“The next floor is the op floor, there appears to be a hole that takes in sunlight, so it won’t be dark anymore.”
Mikuma responded to father’s remark.
“Nii-chan, father. Are there any injuries?”
Shouhei’s worried voice could be heard from the earphone.
“Oh, there’s a lot of minor scratches, but no major injuries. We’re okay.”
“That’s good, but still be careful.”
I heard a relieved sigh, when I looked at my father, he was smirking for some reason.
“Well, if father wasn’t there and it was just Kunpei, he would probably be seriously injured.”
“I know even if you don’t say it, thanks.”
This guy has the nerve to take advantage of an opportunity to play around with me?
“Well then Kunpei-kun, father-in-law, the stairways to the top floor is beyond this passage, so let’s do a review.”
Father and I concentrated on Mikuma’s voice.
“There’s only one correct route on the top floor. If you choose that route, there’s a spacious room with a huge magic stone that was originally the basis of this dungeon. That’s where the Dungeon Boss, a Rocky Griffon, an ominous bird called Ruten is. It’s said that the magic stone itself has already been collected, so it won’t revive for another 20 years, and since there is no business this time, you don’t have to go there. You should look for a route that continues up to the peak of “Tusk Crag”. It is not an ore collection point, it’s also not conspicuous, there’s one place with such a slope leading to the top.
My father and I was looking at a picture of the top floor that I saved on my smartphone.
“Behind the stairs, at the end of the river where the rainwater flows. The other side of a path blocked by a large rock is where we’re going.”
Written on the map, was “dead end”.
