Chapter 71 Descending into the dungeon. (1/2)

Town of Albrook it was called, it was a nis island The people that lived here were a peaceful bunch that liked to live their lives slowly Most of them were farh their craft It didn’t seeing anytiround shook on a certain stor that some kind of monster had finally attacked People had heard the ru on this island in the innermost parts Maybe one of them had decided to pay thehtly different, it did involve er After the storm cleared up and the sun shone on the e volcano had sprung out fro out of it, clearly active and dangerous

Only a s party was quickly forht the news of the new discovery The new volcano had an entrance, it wasn’t a natural cave, no it was quite different

It had an uncharacteristic gate design with e there clearly knew such a thing was io, this was clearly an entrance to a dungeon

The people in this country or even the whole world weren’t sure about how dungeons came to be There were various types of them around, some even had their own ecosyste below the earth This one was similar to the latter but also different in ot turned upside down Their peaceful little toould soon be overrun with adventurers The old farmers despaired but some of the more crafty ones knew that this was their chance The person who took the initiative now could becoht a lot of probleold coins

Half a year later the people that took it upon the in the profits The inns and pubs were filled to the bri up to accoht all of this in and this was just the tip of the iceberg

Everyone knew that only after the dungeon was giving a rating its true potential would be discovered Things like this took so to venture into it blindly It was believed that this dungeon was an extension of the eon that was a supervolcano in the est concern with it was the connection It could be connected anywhere, to another seon far away frohly unlikely but it was possible to eon connected to the eon could take even years depending on how large it was Soinner-friendly levels were already mapped out by the uild evensome of the maps Not all decided on a purchase like that which could prove fatal in the long run

A certain person in an uncoordinated ar onto aup an apple that he bought on his way here

‘It looks like this dungeon is a Labyrinth type, those are tricky ones’

This was Roland wearing his brigandine ar sword strapped to his side and a shi+eld that he bought strapped to his back He looked like a regular warrior, with his height over 185 cm he could easily pass for one

He hadskills The sword related skills that he had were the most advanced from the combat ones he had A decision was made by him to focus on it The shi+eld would also be used for protection and not only that as he had tweaked it a bit with his runecrafting skill

Roland didn’t abandon his spell casting just yet He had two smaller wands strapped to his side as anothercapability He could go about it in a couple of ways

First, he could focus on crafting better runic equip runes, he would be well protected His biggest weakness at the e It was very easy for hirade spells That is if they allowed thehts by ranged surprise attacks There weren’t really any moments where he had to face a monster on his level in a true one on one battle Either he hid and used his spells fro the monsters for him to land a critical blow fro style…’

While walking towards the dungeon he looked up while thinking His close-range tactic ca a fire arrow spell with his wands There was no fancy footwork involved, any blocking or parrying It was just pure h his runic weapons and his high es or resists one of these spells fro about so combinations he finally reached his destination The volcano was giving off puffs of black shtly the closer he got to this volcano but it was bearable He had also attached a special chilling rune to his own arot too hot, he could lessen the burden on his body by activating it This rune worked si rune and lowered hisactive

Roland moved forward, other adventurers were also here So for their tea in, others wereout He could even see scratches and wounds on soht not so long ago and noould soon be in one as well

This wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, he had already been in a dungeon before There was a slight difference, not froh

‘Quite innovative…’

What he saas a large wagon on the side The peculiar thing about this wagon was that it looked more like a food stand This cart was fully made out of wood and it had a tarp hoisted out from the side There was also a hich you couldpotions and mana potions here, we also have pure water for your parched throat!”

There was a young girl with a twin bun hairstyle shouting out She looked rather young, about the age of twelve or close to it She was clearly there to bring attention to this cart, in it was an olderso up those healing potions Roland wasn’t interested but he took soe wooden board on the side

‘Those prices are at least 25 above the regularpeople off but it did offer a new type of service If you took into account that it was right outside the dungeon area the 25 rise in price could be stoh…’

Roland walked on while looking at so on that cart with the healing and mana potions Their faces had a certain attribute to theood for the future He wouldn’t get involved in soh, he needed to look out for himself instead

He placed hi It really did look like a giant gate, it was at least five meters tall It didn’t have a door on it but there were columns to the side that continued upwards and connected in a half circular pattern to each other Right at the area where they ca with a ic fla skill to scan this gate but he came out empty There weren’t any runes on it of any kind He could see soular enchantments instead There were other ways than runes to ical in nature and spell enchantments were one of the he ate he was greeted by a slight draft There were stairs leading down into the dark dungeon, torches were on the side and the whole place was quite well lit He continued forithout stopping while also scanning the walls for any runes

The walk down continued and the further he got theonto his helot down the stairs he found hie area The walls looked like they were e stone bricks and there were torches here and there

‘Which one to take…’

There were other people here with hi into soe hub with tunnels It was the beginning section of this dungeon labyrinth and was considered a safe zone The monsters that were in those corridors wouldn’t be able to co them back
