by fnovelpiaA cave with unsightly totems installed here and there.
The goblin shaman holding a staff with a skull on it seemed to be conducting some kind of ritual, but it seemed like he was just trying to set the mood.
What kind of ritual is this newly created dungeon and newborn baby ritual?
‘It is assumed that there is a hobgoblin.’
I remember it exactly because it was my first dungeon. There is only one shaman and four regular goblins. It can’t be wrong.
Has this changed since it became a reality? Well, originally only my party joined, but now other adventurers also join. It is understandable if the difficulty level changes due to changes in personnel.
Well, even if the situation changes, all I can do is believe in Mirabelle.
“Miss Mirabel, can you do it?”
“Rest in peace, master.”
Mirabelle begins to increase her magical power.
Kirrr!
A goblin shaman who senses something abnormal and lets out a strange cry. As he hurriedly waved his skull staff and gave an order, the goblins guarding the area came running.
And the shaman mutters an incomprehensible spell. It was a witchcraft chant.
Goblins trying to stab them with toothy daggers.
Two hobgoblins wielding a great sword and an axe.
The distance between these guys is getting closer and closer.
However, Mirabelle does not respond in any way. I looked at her uneasily. It’s okay, right?
Mirabelle, ignoring such concerns, immediately takes action. Mirabelle lightly places the heavenly oath on the floor.
Toong.
Calm white ripples spreading around Mirabell.
A magic circle is engraved on the ground. The ground squirms and turns into a muddy swamp.
The goblins that were running sink low. The panicked ones struggle, but they only sink faster. The large Hobgblin was submerged up to his waist, and the Mite Goblin had already dived.
Mirabell’s magic event continues.
Battles in the game are turn-based, so you exchange attacks and defenses, but in reality, it’s trivial. If you’re good, you can attack infinitely.
The two flaming arrows Mirabell made were shot at the goblins, leaving sparks like firecrackers in the night sky.
By then, the Goblin Shaman had finished chanting. As the shaman waved his staff and shook his body as if dancing, a thick black fog spread out and engulfed the fiery arrows.
It didn’t end there.
As the fog covered the swamp, the binding force decreased, and the area around the hobgoblin became strong enough to stand on. The hobgoblins, who had shaken off the swamp, came back to the ground.
Due to the goblin shaman’s spell, all of Mirabel’s magic returned to nothingness.
“Anti-magic… .”
Mirabel distorts Army as if she is angry that she was stopped by something like a goblin. It’s hard to say anything in this situation, but your expression has become richer. Dad is proud.
The reorganized hobgoblins rush in once again to seek revenge. Although the magic is blocked by the shaman, the magic that Mirabell can handle is endless.
also.
“Do you know what I missed?”
“Yes. Don’t make a mistake next time.”
Mirabelle must have just figured out who to rule out first in battle.
Mirabell gently makes a heavenly pledge. A yellow brain fragment splashed and shot out in front of the luminous crystal.
A thunderbolt faster than sound.
There was no way a monster that needed to be chanted would react to the speed that was far beyond recognition. A fleeting flash lit up the dark cave and pierced through the shaman.
The upper body of a shaman who disappeared entirely.
The cross section burned black and smoke rose.
What remains are two defenseless hobgoblins. The shaman who would protect them from the magic was gone, so the outcome was obvious. The guys eventually fell in love with Mirabelle’s magic.
A total loss.
One dungeon was completely stolen by a girl with minimal combat experience.
“Phew… .”
Mirabelle, who took a deep breath to relieve her tension, turned to me and asked with a cautious expression.
“I… Would it have been helpful to the owner? Would this have shown my worth?”
Were you worried about that?
I’m worried about performing.
I need to give generous praise here.
“It was great. We are one step closer to liberation.”
“Ah… Thank goodness.”
Mirabelle’s cheeks turn red.
Are you embarrassed by compliments?
I need to do this more often so I can get used to it.
I looked around as I passed the dead monsters.
“Why are you doing this, master? Did I make a mistake?”
“No, that’s not it, I’m looking for something… .”
The skill book is not visible. The odds were low, so I did infinite retreads back then, but should I do that again?
That’s so absurd.
Now, instead of just pressing Auto, you have to walk with your feet. The level of labor is different from the past, which could be turned hundreds of times a day.
At best, you can go around it 4 times a day.
I started looking at the corpses of goblins just in case. Useless items such as [Goblin Ears] are dropped in any case. Next, I searched the goblin shaman’s body.
[Goblin Shaman’s Staff]
-It contains a disturbing power. The power of black magic increases slightly.
This isn’t really useless either.
Out of lingering regret, I lifted up the rags the shaman was wearing.
“Oh?”
Something square that was felt deep within the shaman’s arms. It’s just the feel and size of the book. I took it out with a pounding heart.
[Goblin Shaman’s Magic Book]
-This is a grimoire carried by a goblin shaman.
It’s up!
Yes, I have to leave. An abnormal phenomenon called a hobgoblin occurred in the boss room where only shamans were supposed to appear. As the difficulty level increases, the probability of receiving a reward should also increase significantly.
“Is that what you were looking for?”
“That’s right. This is a gift for Miss Mirabell.”
“… … .”
Mirabell gives that look again.
I wondered why, but it was worth it. The heavenly oath is a keepsake of the deceased. And this time, I picked it up from the goblin’s corpse.
It seems like he only gives Mirabelle things belonging to the dead. It would be strange if it felt good.
“It is an essential item for revenge.”
“If that’s the case… . In the first place, I will gratefully accept anything my master gives me.”
Mirabelle reluctantly agreed when she said it was revenge.
I sighed and put the grimoire into the inner pocket of my clothes. In the game, if I wanted to learn a skill, it was done right away, but I don’t know what it’s like here.
Since I still have time, I can learn slowly.
‘It’s stranger than that.’
As far as I know, the original name was [Soul Tome], but now it is [Goblin Shaman’s Grimoire].
Well, you don’t have to worry too much. The item dropped by the Goblin Shaman was the Grimoire of Absolutely Unchanging Soul.
For more details, while taking a break at the inn──
Quang!
It was around that time that a huge explosion filled the cave. The cave shook as if there had been an earthquake, and the bats hanging from the ceiling flew away in droves.
bang! Quang!
The explosion didn’t end there. The sound is getting closer. Something is approaching from the direction we came from.
‘what? Are there still any monsters left?’
Mirabelle, who instantly raised the tension that had been put down, became wary of that place, and soon even the last wall she had erected was destroyed.
“They put up walls at every corner. What kind of crazy person did something like this in the dungeon? Just don’t get caught, I’ll just turn you into powder.”
A nervous voice came from somewhere.
It’s a voice I’m familiar with.
In the hazy dust, we could see the silhouettes of two people, and they were getting closer to us.
They soon appeared beyond the dust, and although they were obviously covered in dust, they were wearing flawless white robes.
“Hi.”
Mirabelle let out a loud moan and instinctively flinched. They were priests she had met at the tavern.
“Huh? what? That cheap thing back then?”
A priestess who recited lines that seemed like something out of a weekend drama. When our eyes met, he looked surprised and pointed his finger at me.
“And there’s a cute little boy too. Were you both adventurers?”
“Haha, I also work as an adventurer. But what is the priest doing here?”
As the priestess gets closer and closer, Mirabelle’s trembling gets worse. I pulled her behind me.
“… A report came in that the entire street was blocked. The guild requested support to respond to an abnormal situation.”
The priestess noticed that I was on guard. He frowned as if he was displeased, but he didn’t complain out loud, perhaps because of his previous performance.
Was it the handshake that hit the wall more than that?
If I couldn’t get the Soul Spellbook even if it were just one chance, I would be in big trouble, so I thought about it. I had no idea that the priests would come.
“Having hit these walls. Is it you guys?”
His tone was already full of confidence. You can’t say no. In that case, just respond like a slave trader.
“Yes. Did you meet any new adventurers on your way here?”
“Are you talking about a party made up of kids? Yes, I met you at the rest area on the way.”
“The boy in charge of the vanguard abandoned the party and tried to come to us. Absolutely. How difficult it was. So do we, and so does that party.”
“So?”
“No matter how much I dropped it, it kept chasing me. I needed to drop it. We thought it was okay, but the boy’s party might lose its vanguard and be annihilated.”
The priestess touches her chin with her hand and thinks.
“Was it necessary to block all roads? There are other parties in this dungeon, not just them. It caused harm to them all because it blocked the road. There must have been another way.”
“Hmm, maybe so. My thoughts were short. When I meet them, I will formally apologize and give them money. Not enough.”
This is a world where even soldiers can be appeased if they have money. Would it be difficult to appease a few newbies who are not even equipped properly?
If you tuck in the sleeves, they will bow their heads in gratitude for hitting the wall.
“Hmm… If we reach an agreement with the parties, I have nothing more to say.”
When I obediently admitted my mistake and suggested a way to respond, the priestess could not push me any further.
“We are sorry that you had to come a long way because of us. We will even serve you a meal outside. Well then, let’s just head out… .”
“Before that.”
The priestess who restrains me.
Her seemingly relaxed mood suddenly becomes eerie. The eyes looking at me are full of hostility.
“What did you pick up here?”
