Chapter 67 (2/2)
”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Skeletons and zombies welcomed me.
There were about 100.
Although it's common knowledge that they are weak, that a large number of them came out from the very beginning is bad enough.
I don't think I can do a proper investigation now.
”Hah!”
With a single blow, I cut all the undead in half at once.
Those I couldn't reach with my sword I set ablaze with heat magic.
Within seconds, a pile of undead corpses formed.
”Wow, that's so many!”
”Toru-Kun, you're amazing! You beat them all!”
Frau and Luna arrived after they had finished with everyone.
Soon, however, another round of skeletons and zombies arrives.
The number is incomparable to the previous one.
Hundreds of undead were coming.
”Aerial explosion!”
Kaede uses her magic as soon as she lands.
A powerful gust of wind was generated that swallowed the undead and crushed them.
”Fairy hammeeeer!”
Boom
A shock wave is generated from Frau's hammer as she swings downwards.
The ground collapsed and the enemies were shattered.
The enemies that were there disappeared in the blink of an eye.
”The Manyu Brigade is... more powerful than I imagined! It's understandable why my father told me to keep a close eye on you to see your tricks!”
”Tricks?”
”Ah.”
Oh yes, that's exactly what I thought.
I was thinking about how strangely close we are.
The King of Grayfield is a very careful man.
”Ah, I guess the cat's out of the bag.”
”I'll pretend I didn't hear it. Stay close to us.”
”All right. We'll pretend this never happened.”
When Luna approached me, Kaede stepped between us as if she was annoyed.
”Luna-san, I will protect you.”
”Hiii! Kaede, did I make you mad!!?”
”No, not at all. I'm not angry.”
”But your eyes!”
Kaede grabs Luna by the arm and slyly pulls her away from me.
”I'm sorry, Kaede-chan!”
”I'm not upset.”
Well, if Kaede sticks by her side, there won't be any problems.
For the time being, Rosuke will also continue to act as an escort.
Let 's move on.
”It's been pretty calm.”
”Yes.”
A mountain of undead has accumulated.
The total number is probably around 5,000.
It's not like I counted every undead we killed, so it's not an exact number.
”I'm very tired.”
”Well done, Frau! You even scared me half to death!”
”Fue, really?”
”Yes, you are so cute and strong!”
”Hehe.”
Frau smiles in awe at the praise.
However, Luna also struggled and is active in her own way.
She used her one-handed sword to take down the skeletons and zombies one by one without batting an eyelid.
Even if her level is lower than ours, she contributes perfectly to the party.
”What the-!? My level has gone up to a number I've never seen before!”
Luna, who checked her stats, began to get excited.
Oh no, the experience was flowing into her too.
Explaining this to her is somewhat problematic, now what do I do?
”Look at that! I used to be level 53, now I'm level 172!”
”Thank the gods of the forest.”
”The Gods of the forest?”
”Yes.”
Luna didn't try to find out more about why this happened to her, although she seemed a little confused.
The god of the forest is impressive.
It will be the solution to all my problems.
”Master.”
We reached the center of the valley.
There, Kaede found something.
A square hole in the wall.
There was a staircase leading to the bottom.
”It has always been rumored that there is a dungeon in Berserker Valley. But no one has ever witnessed it, because of the undead. Try as we might, we couldn't properly investigate.”
”So it's a dungeon that's been abandoned for a long time?”
I am intrigued.
Now, how difficult will this dungeon be?
If possible, I want it to be a good place to level up.
After all, my level is only 303 even after defeating all of them.
Though I know why this is happening. My energy saving ability is hindering my growth.
We walked down the stairs with me in the lead.
”Oooooooooo”
There was a ghost coming towards us.
It could barely be seen with the naked eye.
I instantly activated the [Dragon Eyes].
The ghost approached, attempting to possess me.
Gash
”Oooh?”
”If you are reborn again, have a good life.”
I had exorcised the ghost with my sword.
