Chapter 551 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 37

After hearing the news that her sword was completed, Do-jin visited the workshop again and her expression hardened slightly when she saw Rastina in ruin.

“… Mr. Lastina?”

“Ah, you’re here.”

“Why does it look like that?”

Lastina smiled silently and moved her chin toward her sword placed on her stand.

Dojin turned her head to follow her chin and swallowed her saliva as she looked at her completed sword.

“Can I see it?”

“Of course. “Because I called you to take it.”

After receiving permission, Dojin carefully raised his sword. Even when she was sealed within the sheath, she felt an incredibly sharp sense of anticipation.

Do-jin, who drew his sword, could see that the anticipation he felt was not a lie. The most beautiful curve in the world was there.

The curve of this sword was even more fascinating than the curves of the beautiful woman’s naked body.

“It’s a famous sword…”

“There is no name. “You build it yourself.”

“What kind of magic does it contain?”

The swords forged by dwarves contain magic. Dojin, who knew that fact, was curious about what effect this sword would have.

I don’t plan on relying on magic, but there’s no harm in knowing.

However, what came back was an unexpected answer.

“There is no magic there. Just a sword that is strong and cuts well. That’s it.”

“Really?”

“If there’s one special thing… It grows depending on how you use it. That’s all.”

“Growth?”

“Yes, growth.”

Lastina recalled the blood that the mysterious woman had given her. She doesn’t know what the blood is, but if she uses it on her weapon, she can easily overcome the limits of her material.

She used all that blood to make that sword. A new sword created by combining the highest quality materials available at the moment, the power of top craftsmen, and unidentified blood.

The identity of the sword was a magic sword that became stronger the more it cut something.

“No need to bother making a new weapon every time – you can go anywhere in the world with that weapon from now on. Even if it’s the end of the dungeon.”

“—It’s the best. It’s the best. Mr. Lastina.”

“I just did what I could.”

A growing sword?

Even the intensity of the growth is in line with my ability?

Do-jin thought that this sword was truly a sword for him. It is a sword that grows infinitely in the same way as the self that grows endlessly-.

Other craftsmen probably wouldn’t be able to make something like this, or even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to put it out there so casually.

“Really, I would like to do something more for you.”

“There is no need. I often come here to drop off weapons. “It’s made strong, but that doesn’t mean the blade won’t break.”

“All right. Mr. Lastina.”

Dojin lightly nodded and left the workshop and headed to the dungeon. He had this weapon in his hand, and it was a sin not to wield it.

The moment he arrived at the dungeon and swung his sword at the monster, Dojin realized that the sword he had been using was trash.

─Chwi, Chwi-Ik… !

─Crrrr… !

The monsters slaughtered with a single sword proved that fact.

* * *

The dungeon is the world’s largest and only mine that can mine a resource called magic stones. Naturally, it would seem that the whole world would be targeting that facility, but in reality, that is not the case.

This is because the profit and loss calculations are not right.

“It’s coming. Ready to hunt.”

When the commander shouted that, the soldiers he brought with them weakly held their spears. I can hear the sound of countless footsteps in the distance.

Soon, the goblins who formed the army cried out in sharp voices.

-Kieee!

-Human, human!

-Let’s kill! Let’s kill!

The dungeon sends out monsters according to the number of intruders. If an army enters the dungeon, what they have to deal with is also an army.

Of course, there is no way an army dressed in full armor would be defeated by a goblin charging in with its bare body. It’s the same no matter how many times you fight.

-Keeeeek!

-Aaaaan-!

“It’s coming! “Stab calmly!”

The soldiers raise their spears according to the commander’s orders. Goblins the size of children cannot penetrate that distance barrier.

In this way, the goblins are mechanically slaughtered. If they were slaughtering people like this, they would have known that just rushing in wouldn’t work, but the goblins continued to charge as if they didn’t know that.

Like hitting an egg against a rock, keep going, keep going, keep going.

So until the egg really breaks the rock.

“Kwaaaaahh-!?
-Giggle!

A goblin sneaked between the bars and swung the dagger in his hand. A soldier who was struck by a sword in an area that was not protected by armor falls down screaming, and the line breaks down.

The broken ranks are no longer as effective as before. While numerous goblins were frantically pouring into the gap that was revealed, the knight who was watching the soldiers from behind clicked his tongue and drew his sword.

“You can’t stop even one of those things… Pathetic.”

The next moment, blue light emanates from the knight’s sword. Auror. Superpower that turns knights into superhumans.

If wizards have mana, knights have aurors.

The knight, holding the aura-covered sword, dug in between the goblins and swung the sword. Cross-cutting. In that one, nothing special blow, more than a dozen goblins are wiped out in one go.

“Move the injured to the back and move them forward one space at a time to stop them!”

“Yes, yes!”

With the help of the knights, the soldiers regained their ranks and slaughtered the goblins again in the same way as before.

The soldiers, who had finally cleared out the last goblin, collected the magic stones scattered on the floor.

The amount of magic stones collected was 150. It was proof that over 150 goblins had been slaughtered, but the knight’s expression was not that good.

‘Bring dozens of soldiers and only get 150 magic stones. ‘If this continues, I won’t even be able to pay for food.’

The military costs money. The armor the soldiers wear, the weapons they use, the military camp where the soldiers wash and sleep, and even the meals the soldiers eat every day.

But what is the result of bringing that army into the dungeon? If distributed according to the number of people, at most, the money earned was enough to eat two meals a day.

Although we had not yet passed the break-even point, we could see in the eyes of the exhausted soldiers that they wanted to return.

In addition, this is simply a story considering the resources used for the soldiers, and does not even calculate the salary of the knight himself.

‘This is why I didn’t want to come…’

With that in mind, the knight looked at the commander who brought him here, the son of a nobleman, Parachute.

Not only did I not like the man who stood above me simply because of his noble blood, I also did not like the fact that he dragged himself and his soldiers into the dungeon to increase my command experience.

“Commander? How are you?”

“Hmm, it seems the soldiers’ training is worse than I thought. “Why aren’t you doing what I tell you to do?”

“Ah, ahaha- that’s…”

After hearing the commander’s words, the knight recalled the orders he had given during the battle. He said to break the line and charge, or to deliberately leave the middle empty to lure the goblins.

Ignorant remarks that make you wonder what happened to your head. Even if he wasn’t my boss, I wanted to hit him on the head.

However, the driver, unable to do so or reveal his true feelings, just laughed off the situation.

“You’re just stuttering like this – how will you behave when the real battle comes?”

“We will correct it by then.”

“No, I need to see it right now. ─So let’s go to the 10th floor now.”

“… Yes? “What now?”

“That’s right what you heard.”

The knight looked at the commander as if asking if he was serious. However, he nodded without changing his facial expression.

Tier 10 is Orc. In other words, it was a layer where monsters stronger than trained soldiers appeared. Putting soldiers there means sending them to a place worse than actual combat.

They said it was an act of suicide.

“No. The Orcs are such an easy opponent…”

“Are you the commander? I am the commander.”

“But…”

“That’s it. ─Everyone! “March towards the 10th floor!”

Seeing the commander recklessly giving marching orders, the knight truly felt a desire to rag. I wondered if it would be right to cut off his head even now.

Unfortunately, the knight did not have the courage to do so, and an ignorant nobleman who did not know the fear of the orcs had the authority to give orders.

The soldiers who received the order began to advance one by one to the upper echelons, even though they were hesitant. A moving army is very difficult to block. The same applies even to knights who can be called superhumans.

‘Oh, my. We’re all going to die.’

The knight sensed the future of his soldiers and meditated. He was confident that he could survive on his own, but he was not confident that he could save the soldiers as well.

If the situation arises, you can just take the commander and run away… The knight with such thoughts rose to the 10th floor, escorting the commander.

Fortunately for the driver, there was a passenger on the 10th floor.

“Chwiik—! “Don’t back down!”

“Human is alone! “Don’t be afraid – chung!”

“Let’s go, orcs!”

The commander who went up to the 10th floor was embarrassed as he saw the orcs ignoring him and running towards one place. I carefully led the army to the place where I wondered what was going on, and there was a sword demon slaughtering orcs alone.

The knight who saw the swordsman slaughtering dozens of orcs alone burst out in exclamation.

‘That… ‘What is it?’

A level of swordsmanship that even the eyes of a knight who has mastered the kingdom’s swordsmanship while handling Aurors cannot match.

What if the adventurer is targeting the commander? You yourself will not be able to stop him.

However, the commander next to me blurted out nonsense as if he did not know that fact.

“It seems that one adventurer can hunt more than a dozen monsters, so this tier’s monsters aren’t that strong.”

‘What?’

“It would be nice to have an equal partner… Well, this should be enough. Soldiers! “Save the adventurer in danger over there!”

The commander shouted. The soldiers who heard the order hesitated but slowly approached the adventurer.
