299 293 Even if youre not used to it, just do it if necessary. (1/2)
You are carefully and cautiously engaged in covert activities, but this is also tiring.
You are doing this to find the mineral tree, so your motivation is not diminished, but it still takes time to move around while keeping an eye on your surroundings.
Phew.
Take one deep breath and then start moving again.
How long has it been since you entered the Dragon King's dungeon?
As I jumped from one rock to the next like a lightworker, the thought occurred to me.
I think it was at least an hour or more and less than five hours, but unfortunately I don't know the exact time.
My sense of time is fuzzy due to the intense battles I've had since entering this dungeon.
In addition, the watch you had prepared has been destroyed in the battle with the Dragon King.
If you look at your watch, the digital screen is broken.
Naturally, it doesn't tell you the time and is silent.
I bought it for the dungeon, so it's a decent price, but I gave up on the broken thing, smiling.
So you look up at the sky, but you can't check the time by the position of the sun in the dungeon, you can only see the silhouette of a flying dragon.
As a result, you can only feel that time is passing.
I continue to look for the mineral tree, I'm worried that if I spend too much time looking for it, I might worry Suela and the others, but I won't stop.
”Huh, moving quietly is tougher than I thought.
After occasionally stopping to check that a dragon has passed by, advancing thump-thump-thump, and then resumes moving, alerting your surroundings.
Look for the enemy as you go along, wait for it to pass into hiding, and then go on.
Basically, this is the same thing.
I try to be as inconspicuous as possible by going from shade to shade, covering myself with feeble magic so as not to leave any traces, using concealment magic to obscure my presence and escaping the dragon's five senses while searching for the mineral tree, which exhausts my physical and mental strength more than I expected.
I wonder if it's in here.
Still I go on.
I put my hand on the cliff and look around, but as far as the eye can see, all I see are rocks and dragons.
My partner is nowhere to be seen.
I will move as soon as I know he's not here.
d*mn it, how far did you fly?
I'm sorry that I let go of my own weapon at that time, but I'd rather not throw someone else's at the bottom of the valley.
The point where we were fighting a moment ago is just a stone's throw away, and the noisy dragon king is nowhere to be found, but I'm sure it's within the search range.
I didn't want to spend as much time as possible, so I didn't stay in the same place while quickly sensing the magic power, but went down the rocky part of the ravine with a bang.
As long as we're not too far away.
The further you go, the darker it gets and the steeper the road gets.
When you finally get down to a passable road, it's not a road, but a little square, and beyond that square, a little further down the road is a valley, and as I thought from above, it's still very deep.
It's not a ravine, but an even steeper ravine, you think about the difference between the letters and the joke, and hope that you find it soon.
As you continue downward with faint hopes, it is naturally difficult for the light to reach your surroundings and it gets darker and darker.
Even so, as long as you strengthen your eyesight with your magic and keep your vision clear, your vision is fine.
But otherwise, there will be problems.
I don't know how the dragon's territory is, and I'm always moving to be aware of my surroundings.
I'm in the middle of a foothold that humans can't cross, and I can feel the sensation of something watching me down my spine.
A stare that sends a shiver down your spine.
For a moment, I thought the Dragon King had found me.
No, no, this is not it!
The quality of the presence and the quality of the gaze is different.
That dragon king's gaze is so violent and oppressive that the storm looks pretty.
It's not this kind of spine-chilling stare.
And a slight sense of rigidity that makes your body stop moving.
”......... It looks like we're trespassing on some bad guys' turf.
It's only a few seconds since you felt that gaze, and yet you feel it increase.
One, two, three, four, and so on, and each time they increase, my body stops moving.
And I've had an idea who would cause this kind of abnormality in this dungeon.
There are many troublesome demons in the dungeon, which is why we dungeon testers have been busy gathering information on these monsters.
Knowing our enemy will help us improve our dungeons.
The data collected from the challenger's point of view is organized and filed in the party room for easy access to the data.
I remember Minami blurting out that he was going to be the one to create the strategy book.
The sources of information to create such a document are not only our first-hand experience, but also the opportunity to listen to the knowledge.
Not only Suela, but I also exchange such information with employees I get along with.
Most of the information is only pertinent to the characteristics, but it's still useful.
In particular, I often hear about monsters from the giants who process them.
After all, they have many opportunities to come into contact with monster materials on a daily basis, and they are in many ways familiar with the characteristics of the monsters.
I couldn't stop talking to them.
You'll be able to find out what they're made of. You're always wholesaling to Memoria!
Don't force them to hunt the dragon! You're going to have to work a little harder on the people on the ground. And I know you have them here, although I admit that there are more Memoria's in proportion.
Every time I show up at the store, Hands complains to me, but somehow he manages to tell me about the monster.
d*mn, my skills are getting slowed down by the lack of quality materials lately. You guys have the most decent materials. I need more.
”Okay, I'll bring you a good one next time you hunt me.
”Do it, anyway,
In a chat with Hans, the owner of such a favorite weapon shop, the name came up.
”Bring me some material at least for a basilisk.
Basilisk.
A creature named after the little king, a creature from earth's legends and fantasies.
The species reigns supreme over all snakes, but in our world they exist as sub-dragons.
They are famous for their petrifying eyes and their deadly poison.
Sigh!
The five basilisks appear with their sickle necks held up, screaming like snakes. The amber eyes glow suspiciously in the darkness and bind my body.
Of all things, I've trespassed on the troublesome fellow's territory.
I can't take it easy that I might be able to keep my promise to Hans this way.
Unlike the bloodthirsty dragon species, they lurk quietly, waiting for their prey to fall into their traps, and then use their petrifying eyes to block their prey's movements and stop them with poison.
They catch their prey like a hunter.
In addition, it possesses the toughness and magical power characteristic of dragons.
