Chapter 435 – The Dungeon’s Design 2
Belda folded her arms in front of her chest and asked,
「Well, Hero…why do you think that the designer would want to get rid of unbalanced parties?」
「Hmm, I wonder.」
「I could understand why they’d want to get rid of balanced parties. Because they’re strong enemies.」
「I guess we can’t know unless we ask them. What do you think, Alra?」
「Well..」
I thought about it,
「Wait! You can think and talk about it all you want, but if you do, more poison might come!」
Yureena said, because poison frequently came when we were hanging around.
I guess this dungeon didn’t let you think much either.
I don’t know who made this thing, but it was one bothersome dungeon.
「Yeah, let’s walk and talk about it!」
So, Cruz started walking ahead.
I know she was happy to be walking, but she really needed to be careful.\n
So I kept searching for traps and enemies with magic.
「So, what do you think, Alra?」
「Well, this is just a guess, but maybe the dungeon creator wanted us to defeat him?」
「Sir Alra, you mean that the dungeon creator wants us to defeat that undead demon inside the dungeon?」
「That’s what I think.」
There was an undead demon at the core of this dungeon.
The Lord of the Undead that attacked Elkay had told us about it.
Chel, the lord of the dead, said it could smell it, so it had to be right.
「Since he told us of it, it has to be true.」
「So you’re of the same opinion, Luka and Alra?」
「Think about it. The creator of the dungeon is probably the same person that sealed the place as well.」
「In other words, the person that confined the demon in here was the person that sealed it too, right?」
「Yeah, and he did much to protect the town of Elkay as well.」
All the things he did to defend the town, including creating a barrier to surround the town.
And, in the middle of the barrier, there was that statue that Cruz and Kay said was cool.
「Well, that demon had been sealed in here, and it’s not very easy to set him free.」\nGenius releaser of traps, analyzer of magic rings. And a general genius altogether.
That’s why we kept bumping into traps and the party’s complete power was needed. At least, I thought so.
「Very good Alra. I’m ever more impressed.」
「Y, yeah, thanks.」
Belda was quite dazzled by me even though I hadn’t said much.
She thought the place looked strange from the first time she saw it, after all.
「In other words, this is an experiment, then? Let’s beat it!」
「ryaa ryaa!」
「Moo moo!」
Cruz said proudly, with the other animals excited as well.
I guess they thought they were breaking this dungeon along with the others.
「Everyone, you don’t have to get so charged up.」
「Yeah, if we can’t meet the terms of this experiment, our only choice is to escape.」
Yureena and Timi on the other hand were quite dismissive.
Timi was there in case something happened where we would need someone to destroy a massive part of the dungeon.
And she could do it, but in her dragon form.\nVisit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
「Shiggy, just relax and let auntie do the work.」
「ryaa!」
Shiggy was having a great time – not nervous at all.
After that we continued through more and more treacherous traps and stronger golems.
When there were too many, Luka and Ecces would smash them…and Ecces’ swordsmanship was excellent.
After they fell, Luka said,
「This is one long dungeon.」
「Are you getting hungry, Luka?」
「That’s not the problem. But I think we should eat something as we walk along.」
Shiggy was perfectly fine with being fed as I walked along.
The other adults could just be patient. But there was a limit to anyone.
And we needed time to sleep as well.
Hearing that, Belda asked,
「In the case of long dungeons like this, what do you do about eating and sleeping?」
「Well, normally we find a safeplace and sleep in turns.」
「…a safe place. You think there’s one here?」
「I’m glad you’re so cautious. Those poison traps make it hard to know.」
\n「Yes, Sir Alra…it will be hard to continue if we can’t sleep anywhere.」
You could eat while moving, but not sleep.
Or maybe we just had to think of a way to sleep while moving…
「We might be forced to sleep being piggybacked by another.」
「Well, I’d like to avoid that if possible.」
Luka said with a frown.
「Yeah, I don’t want to do it either.」
「They drop me if they suddenly got into a fight.」
「I don’t think I could even sleep like that.」
I thought we’d be fine unless someone got super sleepy.
But, even if you tried to piggyback someone, it would just make the person holding you sleepier.
You’d probably fall asleep yourself.
「We’d also always need a scout.」
Yureena was right, no matter how sleepy we were, Cruz and I couldn’t sleep.
Cruz, and even worse, I might be forced to continue without sleeping.
So we had a big problem with finding time to sleep.
