Chapter 5 : Trap

Currently, Hajiathered around the square just in front of the Orcus Dungeon entrance

For Hajiloomy entrance, but the entrance looked like the entrance to a museum, heck it even had a reception desk for the entrance There was a s people who entered and left the dungeon Apparently, this was the place people checked in with their Status Plate Using those figures, they could record who perished in the dungeon With the war nearing, they did not want too many casualties

In the square near the entrance, there were ainst each other It was like a festival This place was a popular area to earn a good incoathered here The superficial levels of the Dungeon was popular There were eon, some took it seriously while others just fooled around with their lives There seemed to be a lot of crieon The country, with help frouild, have establish operations and facilities to li war This was very useful because you can buy and sell eon

While the class was looking around like some bumpkins, they followed the duck-like mount behind Meld

The inside of the Dungeon was totally different to the bustling of the outside There is not e that eh and wide, it was possible to see to soreen stones, that were buried in the walls, eeon seereen stones

The party organized into rank and progressed forward For a while, nothing of interest happened till they advanced into a hall The hall was doh Gray fluffy balls gushed out from the cervices of the wall

“Okay, Kouki and group step forward Anyone else fall back! We will take shi+fts for the front-line Get ready! These erous, but they are quick Take it steadily”

Just like he said, the Ratmen jumped at them with speedily Their scarlet eyes shi+ned eerily between their gray hair Their name suited them Ratmen were bipedal and had a muscular upper body, and they had mouse-like features Only their chest and abdomen, which had an 8 pack, was not covered in hair It was like they were showing off their abs

The front-line was comprised of Kouki and his party When shi+zuku, as at the front, saw the ene Kouki, shi+zuku, and Ryutaro intercepted the charging Ratirls that were close to Kaori started to chant The girls were Nakaetic loli They prepare to invoke their ht

Kouki wielded his white shi+ning bastard sword so quickly that it was hard to see the motions, he quickly made short work of a few eneave to hiht attribute Any eneht, that the sword produces, weakens and it also autothens its wielder Even if it is “Holy”, it has such “dirty” abilities

Ryutaro’s class was a “Fist Fighter”, so he used gauntlets and shi+n guards as his equipment These were also artifacts, and they could cause shock-waves They were also believed to be unbreakable Ryutaro takes a i stance and does not let any enemy pass by hih he had no shi+eld, he acted like a heavy armored tank

shi+zuku, as like a Sairl, with her “Soman” class and sword that was like the mixture of a Shamshi+r and a Katana Took a battojutsu stance and drew her sword All the enemies were cut in an instant The draas so refined, that the knights were dazzled by it

While the other students were fascinated by Kouki’s party’s battle, a chant resounded

“””Swirling Dark Flames, Incinerate My Enemies, Return them to the Earth as Ashes, “Spiral Flame””””

Three people siulfed the Ratave out a death cry as the flames turned them to ashes

They noticed that all the Ratet a turn It seemed like that the enemies on the first level were too weak for Kouki’s party

“Yeah, Good Job! Next tih”

Meld warned not to let up, but he smiled at the prowess the students showed However, the tension froeon could not be stopped The students faces broke out into sed his shoulders at their reactions

“Although this is a training exercise, don’t forget to keep in ic Stones Since it’s obviously overkill”

At Meld’s words the people in Kaori’s group that casted the spell blushed

There were no particular problems fro was going well in the lower levels Eventually, they arrived at the 20th floor, which is the hest level explored was the 65th floor for Orcus Dungeon This achieve to the 40th level is considered Elite first-class Those who passed the 20th level was considered first-class Since all the students were cheats, they easily broke through to the 20th level, even if they did not have much experience

Traps were the scariest feature of a Dungeon In so called Fair Scope for the lower levels This is a gadget that detected traps by feeling flow of ic, the Fair Scope can detect e is soress smoothly

Therefore, they were able to quickly breeze through the floors This was uided them Meld especially mentioned to them that if they did not know the layout, check for the traps If they were not sure if traps were around, move with caution

“All right, you guys From this point on, not only will there be other types of deet careless just because it had been easy so far! After we clear the 20th level, it will be it for today! Get fired up!”

Meld’s undertone in his e resounds with everyone Up to this point, Haji in particular Once, he practiced on a hts had weakened He created a pitfall for the monster to fall into, and stabbed it with a sword Until now, he had only defeated one dog-like monster

No one wanted him in their party Basically, he just stood behind the cover provided by the knights It was pretty pathetic However, by repeatedly using his “Synergy” skill in coical power raised by 2 points, it seemed actual combat was useful

(Still, I’m totally a parasite player…)

Again, a weakened ht that weakened it When it approached, Hajih With it restrained, Haji his sword to strike down the monster

(Well, it seeone up Let’s do our best step-by-step)

He consu pill, as he wiped the sweat of his brow Hajihts that were impressed with him

The knight did not expect anything froainst the demons and do not just stand around Of course, weakened monsters

For the knights, they thought Haji his barely used sword Hajime choose to use his transht down decisive blows on the hts had never seen before “Synergist” was considered as a crafting class They had never thought of using the transmutation skill like that in combat

Since he did not have anything else, Hajiht that if he could round? Since he was surrounded by soa few, he felt useless This was his first public exhibition of his tactic When his i in the capital, he came up with this tactic

They stopped for a short rest He looked forward and met eyes with Kaori She looked towards Haji an eye on hiht’s declaration to “protect” him This caused Hajime to be embarrassed and he broke eye contact Her expression sulked slightly at that shi+zuku who had been observing as going on with a wry smile on her face, she asked in a small voice

“Kaori, why are you two constantly looking at each other? You can’t be considering a roeon, no time for that”

Kaori blushed at the teasing She refuted shi+zuku angrily

“Mou, shi+zuku-chan Don’t say strange things I was just wondering if Naguht That’s it!”

shi+zuku kneasn’t like that, but she kept her ht upset her hter in her eyes Kaori saw that and just sulked at it

Hajiaze The unpleasant gaze was full with negative elued to him Hajime was not unfamiliar with such stares in the classroorave

It was not the first ti he had felt this stare When he tried to locate the stare, it would disappear Haji it repeated so many times

(I wonder what it is…did I do so my best even if I was incoant! Target?)

Hajih He started to feel the bad feelings Kaori mentioned

The party searches the 20th level Each level of the Dungeon was several kilometers in each direction It would take dozens of people several months to map out an unknown level 47 levels have been et lost There was not a big worry of getting caught in a trap

The innerraphical feature The walls were protruding like a stalactite cave and icicles formed around the room The stairs to the 21st floor was just ahead of this roo would be done for the day In ancient tiic, but at the current age such means was impossible They htly, since the walls were protruding they had to advance in a column

After a bit, Kouki’s party and Meld that was in the front stopped The class stance

“They’re cas!”

Meld advised them The wall suddenly rose and discolored a bit The body that was cas It raised its chest and started to pound on it like a druorilla-like dee ability

“Rock!”
