Volume 5, Chapter 2 - Trying Out Capturing the Dungeon – Part 1

With the elevator, they quickly arrived at the 13th underground floor.
That sort of cheat didn’t exist in this other world.
In regards to travelling, it was austere no matter where they went, and was a pallid, unkind design like old Western video games.
──Really, there is reality even in another world.
What was written on the first underground floor’s inner door was 『This is not a Flag Battle, but an Elimination Battle』.
It was in Japanese in the game, but it seemed that it was written in this world’s language. With Diablo being unable to read it, Rem read it out loud.
Diablo explained.
「When all of the monsters on this floor are defeated, a staircase will appear in the back. Though I say monsters, they are all low leveled.」
Horun nodded several times.
「But, there are also some hidden monsters, so it was pretty difficult -ssu.」
Rem asked a question.
「……Um……As I thought, Diablo, you knew about it, didn’t you?」
「Mu?」
「……About this dungeon……But, why are you so well-informed about it? Even in regards to the former Demon King territory, it seemed that you knew many things about it. However, being from another world, Diablo, this should have been your first time visiting this land. Even with the dungeon’s location, without Horun’s guidance, it seemed as if you didn’t know where it was.」
It couldn’t be helped if she thought it was strange. To know about the mechanisms inside even though he didn’t know the dungeon’s location……
He pondered over what would be a clever excuse.
But if he could come up with something like that, his hardships with communication would……(rest omitted)
「It is because I am a Demon King.」
「……Is that so.」
Rem looked like she wasn’t fully satisfied. That was reasonable.
Diablo turned his gaze towards Lumachina’s direction. She didn’t have time.
「Right now, it would be best to hurry on ahead.」
「Yes……」
Rem is rational and wise. She immediately withdrew.
They stood at the maze’s entrance.
Several thin stone walls formed a complex maze.
On the first underground floor, only the monsters’ levels were low, but it had become a searching around quest to find out where in the complex maze the monsters were.
Since the location of the monsters were random, even Diablo didn’t know where they were.
Some would be camouflaged into the ground and walls, while there were some that stuck onto the ceiling and fell on top of Players that were passing by.
As the producer, he had a feeling of wanting to be upfront with it and enjoy it but……
──Unfortunately, we don’t have the time right now.
Diablo turned towards the darkness, and prepared his 《Staff of Tenma》.
Lumachina’s legs were slow, and they needed a few more days than they expected to reach the dungeon, but thanks to that, his MP had recovered.
Right now, it was at about 30%.
It wouldn’t be a problem even if he used a somewhat largish magic.
「《Virus Cloud》!!」
A curtain of wind sprung forth in front of his eyes. On the other side of it, dark clouds spread out. Black air spread out to the back of maze.
The presence of the monsters that wandered about in the dungeon vanished.
Rem asked a question with a frightened sounding voice.
「……Diablo, that is?」
「It is Poison Magic.」
It was level 110 Wind and Darkness Attribute Magic. It would annihilate the low level monsters in an enclosed space like the dungeon. It would have no effect on monsters that did not breath though.
「P, poison, is it.」
「It is because there is no need to fight fair and square against the hiding and lurking monsters.」
「……That is……But, will we be alright going through the path?」
「Be at ease, the effective time is short.」
In the game, it was 60 seconds, but in this world, there were many cases where the scale of distance and time were different. In the end, the dark cloud of poison lasted for about five minutes.
At the back of the dungeon, a *gakon* sound was made.
「So the staircase has appeared.」
It seems that the monsters were annihilated.
──As the producer, I don’t really like cheating like this though.
They continued onto the next floor.
