Dungeon (4)

“Hmm… thinking about it, am I really useful in this party?”

Of course, she scores a perfect 100 for handling sexual matters, but in combat… well, who knows?

Sister Meilin and Thief Lena may have lower combat power than Charlotte, but they each play important roles.

But Charlotte is just a swordsman. Stronger than an ordinary Mana User, but nothing special.

As Charlotte was lost in thought, Lark called the party members together.

“Alright, if everyone is ready, let’s go in. As we discussed, unless it’s a special case, Braum will go first, then me, followed by Meilin, Lumi, Lena, and Charlotte. Stay focused and keep your guard up as we proceed.”

“Eh, it can’t be that big of a deal.”

Charlotte follows the party members into the dungeon.

Once they entered the dungeon, all doubts vanished.

The dungeon was a large cave, not a straight path but filled with many forks, where goblins were hiding in front, behind, beside, and even under rocks, dropping down from the ceiling speleothems, coming at them from all directions.

“Is this really a dungeon raid? It feels more like we’re the raid boss, just blocking sheer numbers.”

There wasn’t even time to think. Charlotte swung her large sword, cleaving through three goblins rushing at her.

-Thunk!

Even after killing several at once, countless goblins quickly filled the gaps.

“Damn, is this what dungeons are like?”

As Charlotte muttered to herself, Lena, who was right behind her, replied.

“Hmm~ It’s my first time in a place like this, but dungeons are so varied that you never know what to expect.”

Lena threw a dagger, killing a goblin that was hanging from a speleothem and trying to shoot a poisoned dart.

From the center, Lumi’s loud voice rang out.

“I’m ready! Get out of the way!!!!”

The mana at the tip of her staff was visibly concentrated. The crackling sound of electric magic reached even where Charlotte stood.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t aimed at Charlotte but shot straight ahead.

-Zap!!!

Lumi’s powerful electric magic electrocuted hundreds of goblins rushing from the front, causing them to fall simultaneously.

“Wow!! That’s our Lumi.”

As Lark praised her, Lumi’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she giggled, twisting her body in delight.

She seemed completely at ease as if the battle was already over.

“Shit… help me here!!!”

Charlotte found herself surrounded by goblins, getting poked from all sides. She was being stabbed not just by daggers but by other things too.

“Ahhh!!! Damn!!”

“Hahaha, everyone, help Charlotte out.”

“Hmph!! She’ll manage on her own!!!”

‘That little brat!!!’

With the help of her party members, Charlotte barely managed to escape.

After that, they dealt with the frenzied goblins and entered a brief lull.

“Even if they’re goblins, having too many is a problem.”

The cave floor and walls were smeared with the goblins’ green blood. There was no room to step due to the corpses.

“Let’s move. We’ll take it slow and rest as we go.”

Thus, Lark’s party advanced slowly, steadily taking down any goblins that popped out. Fortunately, it seemed most of them had gathered near the entrance, so they weren’t pouring in like before.

“This dungeon is really strange.”

As the battle calmed down for a moment, Lark tilted his head in confusion.

“Right? How can so many goblins live in this cave?”

After that, the party members began to theorize about what kind of dungeon this was.

According to them, for this many goblins to appear, there must be a massive source and plenty of food inside the dungeon, but they couldn’t see any of that.

“The goblins’ growth condition is also very good. And where did they get their source? There aren’t even any nearby villages.”

Lena, skilled in tracking, raised significant doubts about these strange points.

Generally, goblins tend to inhabit areas close to humans. The most suitable creature for them to breed with is human women, and since most die within a year, they always need to capture new human women.

“Not only that, but there are no commanding entities compared to the number of goblins? This is really strange… There must be something going on.”

At that moment, Charlotte seemed to have an idea.

“Hey! Isn’t this the hideout of that dwarf blacksmith or something? Maybe he created a paradise inside, and since it’s peaceful and abundant, there’s no need for combat, so there are only numerous lower-level entities.”

“Hmm? Our Charlotte is quite clever, huh? That sounds plausible~”

Lena secretly patted Charlotte’s bottom in praise.

“Ugh…”

“Well, we’ll find out soon enough as we go. The number of goblins is decreasing anyway.”

Lark said this as he moved to the front with Braum.

Had they been in the dungeon for about six hours? They had already reached the end. The Lark party was taking a moment to regroup in front of a large iron door.

“Is it already over? There’s nothing here.”

Charlotte said, sounding a bit disappointed.

“Right? I thought we’d be stuck in this dungeon for a week, just fighting goblins.”

Lark replied to Charlotte’s comment as he prepared to open the door.

“Alright, everyone, don’t let your guard down. Remember that you must always be cautious until the dungeon is truly over.”

As he opened the door, what appeared was

A semi-spherical chamber filled with goblins, about 100 meters wide.

Hundreds? No, it looked like thousands. At the back, a goblin shaman that seemed to be a leader was manipulating some kind of device.

Something strange was visible behind them, but it was obscured by the dense mass of goblins, making it hard to see clearly.

“Uh… there are a hell of a lot of them?”

Lark’s bewildered voice echoed, and as soon as he finished speaking, the goblins surged forward. The goblin shaman waved something, and the eyes of all the goblins turned red as they charged like zombies.

“Kyah!!!”

“Damn, there are so many!!! Braum, block them!!”

The Lark party retreated to the iron door, with Braum using his large shield to block the entrance. The entrance was larger than the shield, so goblins that leaped out from the sides were dealt with by Lark and Lena with their daggers.

Charlotte, wielding a great sword, had to stay back for fear of injuring Braum.

“What… what do we do now…”

Lark was engulfed in worry. Could they win against a thousand goblins with just six humans?

Even as he pondered, the goblins began to pile over Braum’s shield like a zombie horde. It was practically already breached.

“Ahhh!!!”

As the goblins came over, the situation in the back became chaotic.

Lumi was shouting, casting Strength magic, and smashing goblin skulls with her staff.

Meilin, armed with a mace and shield, was also participating in the battle, crushing goblin heads.

Charlotte, knowing that swinging Black Steel could injure her comrades, threw it aside and began to smash goblins with her fists and kicks.

-Thud!! Thud!!

Goblins struck by Charlotte flew through the air and exploded.

“Yahhh!!! This is the Busty Fist Technique!!!!”

It was Busty, but that didn’t matter now.

The only fortunate thing was that the goblins were unarmed? Except for a few, they were all naked as if just born.

However, the party members were still getting injured by their sharp claws and teeth. Even if Meilin wanted to heal them, it was difficult with goblins surrounding her.

Amidst the chaos, a woman’s sharp scream rang out.

“Kyah!!! L-Let go!!!”

When Charlotte looked toward the source of the scream, she saw Lena already surrounded by goblins, falling over with her clothes being torn off, her body covered in small wounds.

Unfortunately, it seemed she had been deeply stabbed in the leg by a goblin with a weapon.

“How dare these bastards touch my woman!!!”

‘How dare they defile the joy of my mentor who introduced me to lesbian sex!!’

Charlotte charged through the goblins toward Lena, sending them flying with her shoulder.

“Get away, you bastards!!”

Fortunately, if Charlotte had been even a moment later, Lena’s lesbian virginity would have been violated by a goblin. Just as the goblin was about to insert itself, Charlotte kicked it away.

“Ugh… thank you, Charlotte.”

The once spirited Lena clung to Charlotte, trembling. She must have been terrified.

“This isn’t the time for that! Lark, do something!!”

If this continued, someone would die. Even if Lark and Charlotte managed to survive, the others were in danger.

Braum was already in a position where he couldn’t act as a shield, curled up on the ground like a turtle, being trampled by goblins. At least by doing that, he was drawing some aggro, reducing the number of goblins coming through.

Lark was now in a state of slight shock. Should he rescue Braum and escape? Could he even rescue him? Would leaving him behind be the safest option? But could he abandon a comrade?

Having lost a comrade on the last expedition, Lark didn’t want to lose anyone again. But at this rate…

Lumi and Meilin were also being scratched by goblins, covered in wounds. Casting magic usually requires a moment of concentration, but the goblins kept clinging to them, making it impossible to cast.

‘This is a disaster, isn’t it? If only I could use my great sword…’

Lark was strong in one-on-one combat and knew how to use Aura Blade, but what good was that? Either way, goblins could be taken down in one hit, and in this situation, nothing was better than Black Steel…

‘Ah!!!!’

A brilliant idea struck Charlotte.

She pushed through the goblin horde, briefly leaving Lena with Lark, and headed toward the entrance.

Lark’s panicked voice came from behind, but there was no time to hesitate, so Charlotte pressed on.

Of course, the goblins tried to block her, but she shook off their hands, leaped high, and moved by stepping on their heads.

“Hehe… goblins, just wait.”

From above, it was truly disgusting how many there were. It seemed like there were thousands.

Charlotte summoned Black Steel amidst the sea of goblins and descended.

In an instant, goblins rushed at her, their hands reaching out, but Charlotte felt exhilarated.

“Ha!!! I can use this in reality!”

Gripping the handle of Black Steel, she began to spin her body sideways.

“Kyahhhh!!!!”

The heavy great sword sliced through the flesh of the unarmored goblins.

Around her, it was as if someone was firing green fireworks, with goblin blood spraying into the air. She was literally turning into a human blender, whirling through the goblins.

With increasing speed, the goblins couldn’t even get close before being shredded.

“Kyahhhh!!! Go! Whirling Tornado!!!”

This is it!! The exhilarating action-packed hack and slash!! Download it now!!

Her head spinning, it seemed her brain was getting a bit weird.

“Die, die, die”

Goblins were being shredded at a rate of dozens per second. Normally, one wouldn’t do something as foolish as jumping into a blender, but the goblins were in a frenzy due to the shaman’s influence.

Of course, from Charlotte’s perspective, it was a blessing that the prey was coming to her.

After a few minutes, Charlotte had ground all the goblins to dust.

“I won!! I won!!!”

Spinning around, Charlotte reveled in her victory.

‘Huh? But how do I stop this?’

She clearly wanted to stop, but the immense inertia kept her spinning.

“Damn… s-stop!!!”

‘Why won’t it stop?!’

Before she knew it, her party members gathered around Charlotte, who was spinning alone.

“What the hell is this?”

The party members were bewildered by the surreal sight.

Even now, she was spinning so fast that afterimages were visible. The wind was swirling around her, and she looked less like a blender and more like a tornado.

“Hyahhh~~!!! Lark help me”

Hearing Lark’s voice, she sent out a distress call.

“Approaching her would mean death! Lumi, do something!”

“Hmm… well, she did well this time. I’ll finish it in one go.”

Lumi gathered her mana in her hands for a moment.

With a bang!! a shockwave sent Charlotte crashing into the wall.

“Kyah!!!”

‘No, I asked you to stop, not to attack!!!’

-Crash!!!

Charlotte’s great sword and her body slammed into the wall with a loud noise.

Someone murmured as they saw Charlotte flying.

“Is… is she dead?”

Half of Charlotte’s body was stuck in the wall, her butt twitching as she struggled. The cloak she had been wearing had flown off somewhere, leaving her bare behind exposed.

After a few seconds of twitching, Charlotte slumped down.

“Ah!! I didn’t think it would go this far…”

It seemed the magic was stronger than expected.

As the party members approached, they each had different thoughts upon seeing Charlotte’s butt stuck in the wall.

“Wow, damn, her butt looks amazing… I really want to pound it.”

This was Lark and Braum’s thought.

“I want to… suck her… suck her pussy.”

This was Lena’s thought.

“Um… is she… okay?”

Meilin peeked through her fingers, her face turning red.

‘She must be alive, right? I can’t believe I just killed a party member, can I?’

Lumi’s tiny chest felt even smaller.
