Chapter 22 (2/2)

And the place we arrived at, was the one and only with an outer appearance unlike its surroundings, it was doiant, metal doors

「Milord, could this be…」

「Yeah, the deepest part of the dungeon, the 『Guardian’s Roo in front of the door, Minnalis gulped at the strange intimidation aura released by the door

「I’ve heard that the 『Guardian』 that protects the deepest part of the dungeon has strength incoeon Will we really challenge it just by ourselves?」

Said Minnalis with a face full of anxiety

Those nerves were quite natural In the first place, the conventional theory was that dungeons were places to be challenged by parties of at least four If the porters for carrying food and water were included in consideration, then two people would look to be severely insufficient

And also, if it was challenging the 『Guardian』 protecting the Dungeon Core, then, in the first place, there had never been a case of it being done by a single party Even if around ten parties with considerable strength caether in an alliance, prepared perfectly, repeatedly simulated the encounter and confronted the Boss in rotation, suffering some casualties were still to be expected

That hat the adventurers who have dived into dungeons considered to be a 『Boss Battle』

A tea the Guardian with only two people would et treated as pitiful loonies with more than a few screws loose

「Aah, we’ll kill the Guardian, alright The shards of the Dungeon Core are materials that holds a vast amount of mana If that was to be used in the creation of an equipment then whatever it was, a super first-class weapon would be eons could even becoeons that, upon discovery, would come under control of a country with the destruction of the core prohibited That was because once the core was destroyed then the monsters, and the

For the very reason, since this dungeon was yet to be found by a country, while its existence was still unknown I intended to secure its core without fail

「Is that so… Milord, please rethink this e will…」

「Oi Oi, who ever said ere challenging it directly?」

I flicked Minnalis’ forehead as she was co with a deadly serious expression

「Calm down Even I don’t have the least bit of interest in soht on If it’s the two of us right now then the chance of winning would be five percent at ainst our need for revenge, I would never take the latter so lightly」

「Then, erh of this subject The Guardian will never leave that rooeon Core The iven powerful equipency taken fro left only with an order to protect this place With that being the case, if we just attack fro will be one-sided and end just like that」

「From outside? But, I’ve heard before from adventurers that it’ll come out all the way to this hall once the door opens」

「That’s right Once the door opens, it is certain to chase to the hall before the Guardian’s Rooeon it would be here However, it’s also confirmed that if the door is closed then it won’t chase past the threshold In that case, it’s fine if we defeat it with the doors closed」

After saying that, I took out the 【Fire Spider’s Leg Sword】 And then I injected mana into it

「From outside… aah, I see As expected of Milord」

「Well, we are as likely to succeed as not and if we fail, we’ll have to give up This tih there was the ai experience points too」

Not only e in a midst of a hostile country, we couldn’t be sure when other people would prove to be enemies either

If one aimed to learn hoithstand a sudden assault and polish coe numbers of enemies inthat would round

「That’s why there’s no need for taking huge gauy You’ve learned plenty about how to fight, so it’s fine if we just get experience points fro said that I proceeded toSword】

As expected of the door protecting the deepest part of the dungeon its toughness was even higher than the cursed weapon’s

「Once the hole in the door is co duration poison fuh it The Guardian will probably not , but just in case, make a poison that’s colorless, tasteless and odorless」

Whilst I was saying that, I pouredstrongly, even though it began toSword】 had so the size of five centimeters

「Ok, that ell, ah, ah?」

And, I started to feel as if the whole world started to sway around me

The composed part of my mind informed “Ah, I’ve become mana drunk” but somehow made it sound as a different person’s problem

「Sorry, Minnaris, up to you now… All see what little reason I had, I finished without showing a disgraceful drunken display and entrustingas the door wasn’t opened, the Boss wouldn’t coeon wouldn’t come near the hall in front of the Guardian’s Rooed by rocks, there probably wouldn’t be any other adventurers finding the entrance andtheir way all the way down here

「Please leave the rest to lanced sideways and saw Minnalis cool down the water and carry it to the melted hole in the door, then use 『Poison Demon of Phanto it into the hole

If Minnalis, a beastkin, used poison ic normal for her kind, then her poison would have spread and acted immediately, however, the one made from her inherent skill 『Poison Demon of Phantom Flames』 didn’t work like that

The effect of the 『Poison Demon of Phanto mana, any amount of poison with various traits in the immediate area of the caster That poison would not naturally disperse no matter how much time passed and was impossible to remove without the user’s permission

There seemed to be several other facets to the skill, however, that was all that could be utilized currently

I investigated with Appraisal and there certainly appeared to be other abilities than these two However, they were only displayed with 【???????】

This inherent skill was similar to other skills in that it seeh that process wasn’t tied to levels Some sort of prerequisite and skill proficiency both had to be fulfilled to unlock the additional effects

Most likely, judging by the name, it’s an illusion type ability and… While I pondered that, I was suddenly overcoh there was a thread of fatigue being connected to the excitement of continuous battles, I was probably weakened by mana intoxication

Without even a chance to resist,to the bottom of a tranquil lake
