Chapter 132 (2/2)

《Notice: You have acquired the job [Illusionist]》

Illusionist?

That's it!!!??? 　 I was a little hopeful that I could get a good job.

No, this is okay.

I have too much power as it is.

Even if I have a lot of job classes, if I don't use them, it'd be a waste.

Suddenly, a disturbing sign appeared in my field of vision.

《Report: The first Job limit layer has been destroyed.》

Ehh, what the heck?

Does that mean I'll still get many more in the future!?

Please stop.

”Take it out, Wanger!”

”Nya!”

The Wanger was pitted against a snake, which it then mauled to death.

They say that snakes can sense heat, so they must be able to perform in a place like this

Beyond the road, the Dark Passage split in two directions.

”There's a breeze coming from there. It smells of flowers and grass.”

”So that's the way to the capital - what should we do, Ultina?”

”I'd like to check the route to the capital first.”

Now I understand everything. That's what we're here for.

This town is far away from the capital, but if you use this passage as a direct connection, it is possible to make the trip in one day.

The only obstacle is the monsters.

”I can see a light.”

It has been five hours since we entered the passage.

I started to see a small, diagonal light in front of me.

We climbed some stairs, and found a meadow in front of us.

The entrance to the Dark Passage was at the edge of the forest, buried in the woods.

This seems to be the reason why there are monsters all along the path.

If you build a door and finish off the monsters inside, you will be safe even with all that darkness in the air.

The first thing I did was cut the surrounding plant life with my sword, and blocked the entrance with a wooden board from the inside to prevent more monsters from entering.

”Now all we have to do is get rid of the remaining monsters inside and we will have accomplished our mission.”

”Thank you very much for your help. I hope I can repay you in some way for this.”

”You can thank Frau, it was thanks to her that we were able to get this far.”

Hearing those words, Frau thrusts her chest out with pride.

”Exactly, thank me. Without Frau here, you wouldn't have been able to explore the place. I'm no longer just a washboard with wings.”

I never said that.

Ultina looked at Frau's chest, then thanked her with a smile.

We returned to the fork in the passage and, after some rest, resumed our search.

The other path seemed to lead further down, and we descended the stairs several times.

”Haa!”

Ultina's axe slashed through one of the enemies.

She began wheezing, slowly approaching her limit.

Time to switch.

”My turn, I'll take care of the enemies we encounter.”

”I'm sorry, I think I've reached my limit.”

”It's okay, it's time for you to rest.”

I eliminated all the monsters that came our way with my bare hands.

Finally, we came to a door.

”Why is there a door in such a big space?”

”Were there any other hidden doors along the way?”

”No, [Great Thief] didn't detect anything. If there had been, I'm pretty sure I would have found it.”

I grab the doorknob and turn it.

It's locked.

Time to pull out the Super Universal Key.

I pulled the cable out and opened the door.

Giiiiiiii. The door slowly swings open.

Wooooow!

This is a great treasure!

There were countless relics stored in the room.

And there's also a magic circle on the floor that seems to have stopped working.

Fuush

A black shadow darts across the corner of the room.

It hid behind a relic and held it's breath.

”Master.”

”I know, prepare to fight.”

I pulled my sword out of it's sheath.

Come on out.

I kicked the ground hard and ran to where the shadow was.

I quickly confirmed the appearance of what was hiding there, and stopped abruptly because of how shocked I was.

What I saw was Luna, who looked haggard.
