episode_0344

As soon as you enter the dungeon field, you pass by monsters that start attacking you, and other people who are very excited about making money by fighting them.

The four men and women were some distance away, taking positions that would not infringe on other people’s hunting grounds, and, just as their bodies, which had stiffened from not being able to use them properly for a while, remembered, they began to run wild among the monsters.

Was it because it was finally a new format that we had been waiting for?

They were very nervous in many ways and continued the fight as hard as they could according to the formation they had arranged.

Fortunately, after realizing that the monsters in this dungeon were not that difficult for their level, they were excited and happily swinging their swords.

“Okay!! Let’s cheer up!!”

“Left!! From the left!!”

If you catch it, the more you catch it, the more money you make.

Of course, I didn’t have the technology to process monster materials, but after returning to the outpost, I could leave it to some back alley craftsmen who also came to make money, so I had to worry about it later.

“Look at this!! Not that difficult?

For us, the dungeon is just a piece of gum?”

As Anessa smiled brightly in excitement, Beck, who was looking at the monster coming into her blind spot, was startled and was screaming at Helen.

“Ugh!! Can’t you see ahead, you idiot!!

Helen… !! Now!! That’s one shot!!”

“Ah… okay… !!”

As the magical power beginning to gather at the tips of Helen’s fingers began to take the form of a magic circle.

The magic power fired from there was fired like a cannonball, exploding among the monsters, causing great injuries to them.

If it happens like this, the material of the monster that explodes due to being cut by a magic attack that is too strong ends up losing its commercial value.

In the end, Anessa, who was the one responsible for neglecting to look ahead, seemed to glance at the rest of her friends with an awkward smile.

“Hehe… … sorry… … ♡”

“Take out the heart, because it’s gross.”

“Just try to make a loss… … !!

As much as that exploded, roll harder!!

Roll, roll, you bitch!!”

“I’m sorry!!

Men are so petty!!”

“Don’t you know about gender equality? Would you like to taste the gender equality punch? … !?”

“Ugh!! I was wrong…

uh? What is this… … ?”

First of all, money-related issues are the most important when it comes to friends, lovers, etc., and when it comes to work.

Anessa laughed and twisted her body to escape Beck, a ruthless guy who was loading up his chest.

As she took a few steps to the side, she noticed something on the floor, her eyes wide open with curiosity.

“Hey!! Hey!!

I think I found something… !!”

“What are you looking for? Is there any money left…

uh… ? this… … !?”

Friends began to gather in groups towards the item Anessa had picked up, surrounding it and looking at it in amazement.

Meanwhile, at the words of Glenn, who was looking at it with an expression that seemed unrecognizable, the people around were starting to hear gasps of exclamation.

“This is probably… … It looks like a magic tool… … ?”

“The magic tools are in a place like this?”

“Didn’t someone drop it?”

Meanwhile, when Helen said something, everyone’s ears were turned towards her, who happened to be a magician.

Helen’s face flushed slightly, perhaps because she was a little embarrassed at the sudden focus on her gaze, but she soon

“Umm… … that… That might not be true… ”

“Helen seems to know something?”

“This is… It’s called a magic body… …

Magic abnormalities sometimes occur in dungeons.

Is this an artifact that naturally possesses magical power?

Of course, they emit the same magical power, and it is not easy to distinguish them from artifacts… …

It is a slightly different concept from artificially created artifacts.”

“Hehe? I don’t know if it sounds difficult, but…

Anyway, it’s similar to a magic tool!?

So, this is a big hit, right?

Ahhh!! I picked up the money!!”

“Anessa… … wait for a sec… !!

But I still don’t know what it is…

First, put it on the floor and analyze it… !!”

– Kiiing

At that moment, a ray of light suddenly erupts from the artifact.

“Uh… Ugh!! What’s happening… !!”

Anessa, who was surprised by this, saw a ray of light passing through her fingers, and brought it in front of her and looked down.

“Anessa!! Leave that… !! hurry… … !!”

“Damn… … !! Anessaaa!!”

Suddenly, a strong flash of light explodes, and Anessa, who is still looking down at her hands in a daze, raises her head to look at the other friends, Beck rushes in to save her, and Helen, who has frozen with a shocked expression, inadvertently drags her away. Glenn, who was hugging and protecting him, was also being swallowed up.

And after the intense flash of light subsided, there was only silence in a certain part of the dungeon where the four people were standing, as if nothing had ever happened from the beginning.

There was only something that could be a strangely shaped magic tool lying on the ground, lying still as if it had been there from the beginning, emitting a small ray of light, and then the light was slowly fading.

Somewhere where there is silence and stillness, so quiet that the only sounds are your own breathing and your startled heartbeat.

Glenn, who was staggering around with a bit of dizziness, but held tightly to the precious thing he held in his arms as if he would never let it go, soon came to his senses and opened his mouth.

“Ugh… hey… swimming… Helen… !!

Fine… Are you hiding… … ? Helen!!

Answer me quickly… !! Hey!!”

“Uh… … ? Glenn… … ? Hi!!

When did you embrace me… … !?”

However, when he was startled to hear an unexpected voice, he relaxed his arms and checked the presence in his arms, and there was someone he had never imagined with blushing cheeks in his arms.

“What… … ? Anessa… !?

Why are you… … !?”

Anessa, who was equally embarrassed, escaped Glenn’s embrace and started joking.

She was still maintaining a funny tone with her cheeks flushed, and was beginning to imitate Glenn’s voice from earlier.

“Hey~ Helen~ Answer me~!?

Didn’t your voice sound really urgent just now?

Oh, you two… … !?

no way… !! In the meantime… … !?

Wow!! What should I do? What should I do~!!

I have to go quickly and tell Helen that Glenn hugged me!!”

“Don’t play around. I don’t think this is the time to joke around.”

Hearing Anessa’s words, which were hiding her embarrassment in a playful voice, Glenn grabbed his throbbing head for a moment and then shook his face to both sides to show he had come to his senses.

And in response to Glenn’s suggestion, Anessa also erased the playfulness from her face and slowly pulled out her sword.

“Actually, I agree. we…

Of course, until just a moment ago… … ”

“Yes, it must have been on some level ground in the dungeon.

But this place… … . It looks like some kind of cave… ”

As the location they were in suddenly changed, the two people’s eyes seemed to be busy scanning their surroundings to understand the situation.

This place is filled with echoes, like a deep cave, and is surrounded by something similar to tree roots.

The surrounding environment has changed, or they have been moved somewhere.

Either way, it didn’t take that long to figure out that it was because of the artifact from earlier.

And one moment.

“Be careful!!”

“What!!”

As Anessa screamed and swung the sword she was holding, Glenn tried to grab the handle of his sword that had not yet been drawn, but then changed his mind and stopped as if frozen.

– Suddenly

Glenn stopped in his tracks, believing Anessa, as he heard something being torn in half pass over his head and shoulders, spraying strange bodily fluids with the sound of being cut cleanly.

He realized that the crisis had passed, and only then did he slowly draw his sword.

When he finally looked down at something that had fallen to the ground, he saw a monster-like creature with multiple legs and a strange flesh-like shape, struggling for the last time with bodily fluids dripping from its cross section. I was losing.

“Ugh… !! It looks really gross!!

What’s this… ? Do you know this?”

“He might be a common guy on the front lines.

We don’t have any experience in that area either.

From now on, I will have to be strict with my surroundings.

I’ll look ahead, so you watch behind.”

Normally, there would have been a set formation, but since they were separated from the rest of the group, the two had no choice but to rely on each other.

Still, the two exchanged smiles out of relief that they still had a friend they could trust, and decided to leave each other’s backs and aim to meet up with the group they had parted with first.

“Okay… !! Let’s find Beck and Helen first… !!”

“Good. Then, start by leaving a mark… ”

– Caen

In order to navigate a place that may be a maze, it is most efficient to first leave a mark.

As the surrounding area was made up entirely of tree roots, Glenn swung his sword as if cutting down the wall next to him, and after seeing a cleanly cut chunk of root, he immediately started walking ahead.

And the figure of Anessa, following him with a nervous expression, was disappearing into the darkness of the passageway together.

“Then… … Let’s go… … ”

But they didn’t see it.

The bundle of roots that had been cut off by swinging a sword to mark them slowly found their proper place, slowly healing back to their original form as if they had been cut at some point.
