The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 101 (1/2)

Traps set in Dungeons generally targeted those alked on the ground and those standing near walls There were very few that targeted those flying through the air

The reason for this was that for the Deeons, they were breeding grounds for thehumans

It was said that Ricklent, the genie of tieons were a place to train and acquire resources and treasures

But Ricklent had fallen into slu had been sealed

Neither the Deined that people would be able to fly

There were currently races created by Vida that could fly, such as pterosaur-type Drakonids and bat-type Beast-people, but before those races existed, no people could fly except for those with precious Magic Iteic and those who had ta monsters

For the De and Ricklent, it could be safely assu h a Dungeon other than walking across its floors

Even so, so those who could fly, but such traps didn’t appear in C-class Dungeons and below

However, there were so caverns and ruins that clung to the ceilings and looked to take adventurers by surprise

Ain this particular Dungeon

This Slieon made it prioritize the repulsion of intruders over its own life, patiently waited for its prey to pass by beneath it

But the Sli It ignored this sound, thinking that it was just some other monsters

But the source of the sound drew closer to the Slime

Monsters born in the sas of coh they prioritized other monsters less than the repulsion of intruders, they were still just prey

The Sli monster was prey

But what approached it was not afro along the ceiling

The Slis as people did, but the presence it sensed was so bizarre that even its instincts stopped functioning

“Hmm? The reaction suddenly disappeared?”

Vandalieu, who had gone on ahead to use Danger Sense: Death in order to see whether there was any danger such as traps on the ceiling, was confused by the sudden disappearance of the reaction that he had sensed and his gaze began to wander around

He had been certain that there had been a trap or a , but… there was no way that a trap would disappear on its own, and even if thea single noise

He tried using Detect Life and found a response, but it wasn’t a very strong one He hadn’t sensed a large danger to begin with, so it was likely a veno

Co to this conclusion, Vandalieu decided to continue, but then he froze as he felt a wet sensation on his hand

Vandalieu and his party had challenged the D-class Dungeon, the Lizardmen’s Nest, in order to power-level Tarea and to have the Lizardained immediate results

“I have taht back a Slime with a washbasin’s worth of fluid volume and an internal core the size of a child’s fist

“Oh, that’s definitely a Slime”

“It really is! It’sone”

“How rare”

“This is alsoa Slime”

“It’s certainly a Slime”

Kasi the Slime, impressed

“It is true that it is rare, but why does Bocchan seem so happy?” Saria asked, and everyone looked at Vandalieu, suddenly wondering the sa

For him, Slimes were indeed rare This enormous, aerous for beginner adventurers if they were caught by surprise Attacks with far tools and ireat resistance to impacts

But in the end, they were only Rank 2 They could be defeated by brute force usingweapon could be used to pierce the core to defeat them easily

They could be exteric spells

Superior Slime races such as Metal Slimes and Poison Sliainst, but ordinary Sli as they weren’t handled carelessly

In fact, even in Devil’s Nests, they often concealed theed corpses rather than actively hunting other monsters

That hy they were simply rare monsters that were seldom encountered

It was difficult to i theh-Rank monsters

“It’s because it’s a Slime,” said Vandalieu

For hireat example of monsters that appeared in fantasy works, just like Goblins

Unlike the Slia Slime in Vandalieu’s arms wasn’t comical or cute in appearance In fact, it was dark-colored, viscous and odd

But it was still a Slime

“It’s weak now, but I’,” said Vandalieu “Just like Bone Man, the other Undead, Pete and Pain”

Bone Man, who now rode De), and the calainally been Rank 1 Living Bones Though the Slih of a chance it could becoons in the future

Click-click

Pete and Pain, a forree

Pete had beco Centipede that emitted electricity from the horns on his head, while Pain had beco his body

“That’s true…” everyone said simultaneously Given Vandalieu’s track record, they had no choice but to agree

“Then we’ll have to be careful to make sure that the Slime doesn’t catch up to us,” said Kasim

“If I recall, Bone-Man-san took eight years to… Won’t it be difficult?” asked Zeno

“I do not htest if he catches up to me,” said Tarea

“Bocchan, please raise us properly too!” said Rita

Kasim and the others hadn’t been opposed to the idea They were satisfied by Vandalieu’s explanation and seeure

Nor figures

“Incidentally, your Majesty, ill you na a short distance away as the Slihtened of her

Vandalieu thought for a“Let’s name him Kühl”

It was the na like a Gerenderless, so this name was probably fine

“I see Nice toto walk on and have it follow us? Or are you going to have someone carry it?”

“Ah, it’s alright,” said Vandalieu “I can equip hi Technique” Thethese words, the Slime Kühl was absorbed into his arms

“… Were Slimes always insects?” asked Zeno

“That’s the biggest surprise of the day,” said Rita

“The Insect Binding Technique probably includes all creatures that , not just insects,” said Vandalieu

If Sliard, it was possible that Vandalieu would be able to equip snakes and lizards as well Dragons would likely be impossible, however

There were no historical records of the D-class Dungeon called the Lizardmen’s Nest, but it was likely to be quite old

According to the information passed by mouth to the wise Lizardeon were their ancestors

In Talosheim, directly north of the marshlands, it had been recorded on stone tablets that Lizardmen had existed nearby for tens of thousands of years, so this Dungeon had likely appeared before then

The Lizarded froe, had won the battle for survival in the marshlands and settled there And then they had conquered the Lizardain a reliable source of food and experience in battle

It was quite ironic that a Dungeon would be conquered by e

And the Lizard acknowledged by the God who had created him (whose na the Lizardmen of these marshlands where they paid their respects to this exemplary member of their race

This Lizardression pact with Talosheim in the past

“Then isn’t it likely that you won’t be recognized as an exeeon with us?” asked Kasim

“That’s not a proble when I clear the B-class Dungeon that Leo (the Scaled King) came from, anyway”

The above-mentioned honorary custoiven birth to Leo appeared

“Though you say you will solo, ill be with you,” Princess Levia reminded him

Click-click

And so they cleared the Dungeon up to the twelfth floor with ease Befitting of the birthplace of the Lizardeon were Lizardmen, so Kasim and the others would have found it difficult on their own, but the Rank 5 Levia, the Rank 6 Living Armor sisters and Vandalieu himself ith them

There was no chance that a D-class Dungeon would give them problems And the Labyrinth Construction skill informed Vandalieu of each floor’s layout as he stepped into them, so they never even lost their way

If they wanted to, they could have even done a coeon in just a few hours

Their objectives were the leveling of Tarea, Kühl, Kasim and his friends and to check the value of the resources in the Dungeon Tarea’s Night Vision skill had transformed to the Dark Vision skill under the effect of the Eclipse King title along the way, and Kasiht Vision skill thanks to the title’s effect as well, so they spent two days in the Dungeon for theet used to their new vision as well

As a result, their levels increased significantly Most importantly, Kasim had become able to actually use shi+eld Bash rather than just screa the skill’s name in pretense

“Did you see my shi+eld Bash?! I shattered the Lizardreatsword!” he exclaimed

“Yes, I saw it!” Tarea shouted “I saw you take the Lizardman General’s attack directly fro with its sword! How can you have your defensive equipment broken as a shi+eld-bearer, even if your opponent is the Dungeon boss?!”

“Eh, I mean, I couldn’t help it?”

“You could! If you wish to boast proudly, make sure you become able to repel the boss and hisyour shi+eld!”

“Y-yes, Ma’am!”

Though Kasireat efforts, those efforts had resulted in his shi+eld breaking, so Tarea scolded him

Vandalieu had wanted to warn Kasi that he was too late Seeing Kasiht that lecturing hi him instead “… Well, that shi+eld was full of scratches, anyway It has been holding out against similarly powerful opponents since you ca the end of its lifespan”

“Van-sa these things to him for his sake –”

“I’m sure Kasiht, Kasim?”

“Y-yeah I’ll be careful from now on, Tarea-san,” said Kasim

Seeing Tarea and Vandalieu’s conversation reminded him of the times he was scolded by his parents Back then, his ry as well, while his father calmed her down

Tarea looked to be only a few years older than Kasie, so it felt significantly out of place, however

Of course, Tarea’s real age was over two hundred and seventy and the number of years that Vandalieu had lived in total was over forty years

“Well, let’s replace our equipet back to Talosheim My sword has started to fall apart, too,” said Fester as he looked at the chipped blade of his longsword He and Zeno had been talking to each other about how they should clear the Dungeon without Vandalieu’s supervision next time

“Will you be upgrading to Death Iron equipment?” Vandalieu asked
