Chapter 383 – Pandemonium (2)

Do-jin climbed into the dungeon with his party.
Not all climbed together. Like a dungeon where you don’t know what it might be, the four people with strong vitality decided to climb it.

Dojin, Aderange, Emilia, Charlotte.

The four of them, who were perfect for being tough, set foot on the 71st floor, which Sesta called the Pandemonium.

“Sss-!”
“…… Indeed.”

The moment they reached the 71st floor, the magic that coveted their life force came out. Indeed, did they say that even breathing is harmful to the human body?

Dojin walked through the layers and looked down at the swaying dirt and sand. All the spirits were robbed and the place was replaced by magic. It was said that it couldn’t absorb an excessively large amount of mana and emitted it in reverse, resembling radioactive material.

“Everyone, are you okay?”
“The notebook is fine.”
“Me too, Master.”
“… Me too, this much is fine.”

It was also understood that there was no major problem with the activity right away. However, that is only possible because they are level 4 superhumans.

Do-jin scooped up the dirt and put it in the pouch Raise handed over, then closed the entrance tightly to seal it. If you take it outside, Ryze will use it to study how deadly this layer is to humans, and how far they can explore it.

“Aderange.”
“Okay. Host.”

Receiving Dojin’s call, Aderange made a pole made of her own blood and inserted it into the top of the stairs. To make it easier to figure out where the sandy stairs are.

After confirming that the pole was properly fixed, Dojin walked inside holding the sword hilt.

Since the floor was sandy, the possibility of monsters popping out from underneath had to be considered. So, it radiated mana in all directions and guarded it. It was an act that cost a lot of energy, but it was better than losing one’s life for being careless.

How long had they walked, Do-jin and his party found a monster chewing up dirt and sand in the distance. It looked like a wild boar. But you wouldn’t call it a wild boar.

Like a monster deformed by radiation, the limbs were twisted and the face distorted. The overgrown teeth rose skyward, and the bristles stood sharp like sharp steel.

“At 12 o’clock, three.”
“Confirm.”

At the same time as Dojin sent her signal that she had found the enemy, Ade Lange held out her hand her and drew her blood drop by drop. The blood that floated in the air quickly solidified like steel.

As her true ancestor her, she possesses the dominance of her blood her, and is capable of shooting her blood like bullets. She did Like gunpowder exploding, the drops of blood fired by her magic her hit the unknown monsters.

─Queueeeee

Even though it was faster and more powerful than a bullet – all it did was make those monsters scream. Not a drop of blood was shed.

The guys who were screaming and looking for the opponent who attacked them quickly found themselves and ran away. Considering that the floor was sand, it was unbelievably fast.

Ade Lange, who was unable to shed a single drop of her monster’s blood using her own blood, conveyed the information she had found out, feeling her drool over her staggering exchange rate.

“Hmm, it’s strong. It’s hard enough to believe it’s made of metal, not leather.”
“If those sturdy things collide at that speed, most of them will die, right?”
“I guess so.”

Aderange and Charlotte looked at Do-jin after talking. I didn’t get along very well with the two of them.

Aderange, who deals with blood, had to be able to injure the opponent, and Charlotte, who had high defense and durability, could not overcome an opponent who could not be hurt with her attack power.

In the end, Dojin drew his sword and jumped forward with Emilia.

“Am I two?”
“Whoever catches it first will catch it.”

It was a monster they had never seen before, but the two were not afraid. Because that was not the spirit of a warrior. Do-jin, who faced the monster that rushed at him in an instant, swung his sword to check the monster’s strength.

Caang-! It was possible to guess how hard this monster was just by being hit by the leather and bouncing off with a metal sound. However, it was not able to block Dojin’s attack with a hard level.

Do-jin, who took advantage of the rebound of the sword and immediately turned around, cut the boar’s upper body and lower half with the aura-loaded sword. The monster couldn’t withstand the aura blade that cut down everything it touched.

Kwuh-! Leaving the screaming boar behind, I looked at the other two that charged again. One was being crushed and killed by Emilia with ignorant force, and the other was looking this way with a confused expression as she looked at her comrades who had suffered so much.

At the same time as Do-jin ran out, Emilia, who had dealt with the monster I was holding, also ran and swung her winter sword.

The Winter Sword, which was second to none in terms of weight and strength, and the Aura Blade, which cut down everything it touched, crossed the monster at the same time.

While looking at the monster that fell down, Do-jin and Emilia met each other’s eyes.

“I got it.”
“Did my sword touch you first?”
“It took you a long time to catch that one. It ends when the upper and lower body are cut off.”
“Not really? Did I break your head so Master could cut it?”

What is this one, Do-jin shares her pride fight with her. It was not easily concluded. How inconclusive she was, to the point that she did not even notice the belated approach of Aderange and Charlotte.

Seeing the two approaching, Do-jin, who came to his senses belatedly, scratched his head and decided to yield to his disciple.

“Shit-yes. This is what you caught…….”

Just as he was about to point to the body, Do-jin belatedly realized that the body of the first monster he had killed was gone. It was natural for a corpse to disappear from a dungeon, so there was nothing strange about it.

However, the body at Dojin’s feet did not disappear. Do-jin, sensing what this fact meant, immediately emitted his magical energy under his feet and detected the movement.

“Under!”

When Do-jin said that and left, a hole the size of a corpse formed under his bloody corpse and swallowed the monster’s corpse.

Looking at the shiny scales under the hole, Dojin realized the ecology of the dungeon. The fact that there are scavengers who only aim for dead bodies that are bleeding.

‘Crazy, that size in an instant…….’

The hole in the floor disappeared as soon as it swallowed the corpse. With the hole gone, Do-jin couldn’t figure out what was under the floor.

‘The magical power is too thick.’

Everything on this level has magical powers. Everything from the air you breathe to the ground you’re stepping on. Enough magic power pushes out other types of magic power.

This meant that the method that Dojin often used, emitting magical energy to determine the location of the enemy, could not be used in this class.

“Master- what is this…….”
“There is something under the ground. Maybe a monster. If caught, die. Even if you are immortal, you cannot live.”
“Haha, it does look like that.”

Being immortal doesn’t mean invincible. If you were buried in sand filled with magical energy and slowly digested by monsters, you would be in a similar state even if you didn’t die.

Do-jin was wary of the bottom, carefully took out an auxiliary knife from his pocket and threw it far away. Fuuk- The knife stuck in the ground remained stuck there no matter how much time passed.

‘It’s not like vibration or sound determines the location…….’

Haha, the sand full of magical powers hid what was underneath, but at the same time made it impossible to know what was passing above it.

The reason why he was able to take the corpse of the previous monster must be because the sand absorbed blood very quickly.

“For now, retreat here—”
“…… Mr. Dojin. I have something to tell you.”
“What?”

Hearing Charlotte’s words, Do-jin raised her head and stiffened her head as she looked in the direction Charlotte was pointing.

In the direction she pointed, countless monsters were rushing at them. It must be that it wasn’t just the underground monsters who smelled the blood.

“Let’s bounce.”

As soon as Do-jin’s words were finished, the party ran frantically and left the place.

* * *

The chase with the monster was so terrible that I would never want to experience it again. Especially when it comes to monsters you don’t even know what abilities they have.

Caw, caw—Do-jin, who glanced at the pterosaur flying through the sky while barking, sighed deeply when he saw that the pterosaur disappeared far away without finding them.

“Whoa – finally go. That madman.”
“How is it, Master – aren’t you good at mastering magic?”
“I know. Good job. Aderange.”

Saying that, Do-jin took out a magic wand and looked at Aderange. Intelligence Artifact. It was a special artifact that allowed people who did not know how to use magic to use magic instead if they had magic.

It was a top-notch item that Dojin also didn’t have a few, but he said he made one for Ade Lange. She used it to learn all sorts of magic—.

At the time, she thought it was useless, but her skills would come in handy once she learned them.

“So, where is the way out of here?”
“…… That’s it, Master.”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“…… Something seems to have eaten the beacon.”

Only then did Dojin recall the time when he had just entered the 71st floor. She was a pole driven into a beacon, an object made with Ade Lange’s blood.

The blood would have flowed to the floor on a pole, and the blood that flowed to the floor would have been absorbed by the sand—and a monster that smelled the blood would have appeared and swallowed the beacon whole.

Realizing that fact, Dojin looked at her with her serious expression.

“…… No, then how do we get out?”
“There are two ways.”
“What?”
“Digging the whole floor to find the stairs.”
“…… And?”
“We are waiting for the other party to come to rescue us.”

Hearing that, Dojin fell into deep thought.
He thought there was one more way.

‘Clearing the dungeon up to the 80th floor and getting out completely.’
