Chapter 33 (1/2)
Chapter 33 – First Adventure
「As expected of an A-rank adventurer. We’re almost at the final dungeon, and even though strong monsters are appearing, they’re being defeated.」
Ritone murmured as they continued further through the dungeon.
Along the well-paved, concrete floor, there were incomprehensible machine-like monsters lying broken and scattered around.
In the surrounding area, there were some kind of manufacturing instruments lined up.
「This, I’ve never seen anything like this. Some type of a slime maybe?」
Before long, Rin picked one up with her head tilted in confusion. The golem was 30 cm in diameter, both round and flat.
「I’ve read about something like this before. It’s a D-rank monster 『Rumban*』.」
[Daily: Something like a cleaner robot.]
Nady explained.
「…So this is D-rank! Its power rivals a Holy Knight’s that has received a blessing from G.o.d, as expected of a high-level dungeon.」
Just as Ritone said that, a flat shadow suddenly appeared.
「Intruder—Identified—Eliminate.」
The instant that the mechanical voice spoke, a *shakin* sound accompanied sharp blades protruded from the edges of the disc.
「c.r.a.p! Both of you hide behind me! 『Strong Dragon Fist』 Release!」
Protecting Rin and Nady, he released his Ki at full power.
The next moment, the Rumban made a gyuuiiiin sound and started to attack.
「D-d.a.m.n it! Be obedient!」
Ritone was desperately holding the Rumban back as its rotating blades scratched him.
Even if his defense was on par with full-plate armor, as it was, it would soon break through and cut him in half.
「Leave it to me! 『Water Ball!』」
From behind, Rin waved her staff and engulfed the Rumban in a water ball.
Letting out a *poof* sound, the Rumban stopped moving.
「You saved me… certainly the natural enemy of electric appliances is water. If you use water, then usually they’ll short out and break. Good job!」
「Ehehe…amazing? Somehow… I’m overflowing with power from that milk.」
Rin was feeling happy that Ritone praised her, but suddenly Nady shouted out a warning.
