Chapter 91 – Colleagues

Episode 91 – Colleague

10 minutes after entering the dungeon, we finally encountered a magic trap.

“Luan. “Step back!”

Deborah quickly sent me behind her and placed her hands on her bottom with a serious look on her face. She closed her eyes and searched her surroundings, and she discovered a trap magic circle hidden in the wall hidden by an illusion barrier.

She simply destroyed the magic circle and smiled confidently.

“It’s simple! “Is this why you brought me here?”

“Uh. Because it’s a type of trap that I could never figure out on my own. It’s a good thing I brought you. “It’s the best choice of my life.”

“Yes? The best life? Why so much ehehe…”

“I’ll trust you now. Please take care of me.”

“All right! Leave it to me. Let’s go!”

Deborah takes the lead in liking compliments.

It’s a face that has no idea that all of this is my trick.

‘I need to keep praising you like this.’

The level of magic traps will increase as time goes by. Later, magic will appear that is difficult for even Deborah to handle.

My job is to put an endless burden on them so they can’t say they can’t do it.

We moved on after that.

And when a few more magic traps were destroyed, the familiar of this dungeon finally appeared.

─Kihihihihi!

The familiar was a fallen fairy imp.

They are cute and innocent on the outside, but on the inside, they are rotten and rotten people who live out of pleasure in tormenting others.

Anyway, the imp was swimming in the sky, shaking off its wings and scattering light particles everywhere.

The moment you inhale those particles, your body becomes paralyzed.

“Luan. Be careful!”

“Don’t worry! “You just cast magic!”

I took a deep breath, then rushed forward and swung my fist at the imp.

However, the guy simply took an evasive maneuver and dodged it, giggling mockingly. Just like in the game, I have the urge to tear and kill someone.

Meanwhile, Deborah’s magic was completed.

“Luan. Avoid it!”

Kwaang!

With a warning, the fireball passed over my head and hit the imp.

It seemed as if its small body would disappear in an instant in the face of its mighty power. However, the remaining flames dispersed and what appeared was an intact imp without even a small trace of soot.

Deborah bit her lip.

“As expected, magic resistance is too high.”

“How?”

“We have to compete with mental-type magic instead of attribute-type magic.”

“Illusion magic also works, right?”

“Yes. However, it takes a long time to do that, and the killing power is not high, so Luan has to take the risk.”

Illusion magic becomes more effective as you get older, but it has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of magic power and having a high barrier to entry.

Even the illusion magic itself couldn’t exert any destructive power, so it wasn’t efficient.

That’s why Deborah just used fireball instead of illusion magic.

‘Well, this is what I came for in the first place.’

Only one has appeared now, but if several appear at once, Deborah will have to fire illusion magic without stopping.

The more you work hard, the more your skill will increase and the faster you will grow.

I stood between Deborah and the imp.

“Good. Then I will buy time until casting.”

“… Please. “I will finish it as quickly as possible.”

Afterwards, Deborah entered the casting, and the imp, as if she was tired of waiting, rushed in.

─Kihihihihi!

It poured paralyzing powder everywhere and hurled out its spear.

Perhaps because it was made to fit a small body, it was less than 50cm long and looked like a toy, but its anticipation was no less than that of a fairly famous sword.

I deflected the imp’s spear with the fist covered in her spirit.

Kaang!

A powerful shock is felt.

This guy, whose body area is less than one-fifth of mine, has considerable strength.

Kang! Kaga River! Kaang!

After that, several more battles passed.

The imp was so strong that it could not be defeated easily unless you used Rape Declaration or Incarnation. This was largely due to the paralyzing powder constantly spewing out from his wings, which limited his activities.

I was fighting while in apnea and tried to take a breath and shake the guy off.

That time when I took a deep breath.

“Luan. That’s it!”

Deborah’s magic was finally complete.

Immediately he gave her a glance and she stretched out both her hands towards her imp.

A swarm of brilliant purple light burst from her grasp her, instantly engulfing the imp and seeing into her.

At the same time, its wings stopped flapping.

In the end, he staggered precariously and fell to the ground, unable to support his weight.

It is a bonus that the paralyzing powder has stopped erupting.

“Now!”

“Good job!”

After assessing the situation, I immediately launched a wave of attacks on the imp. It wasn’t that difficult to defeat the guy who had two main weapons sealed.

After a while, the imp whose heart was shattered melted and disappeared with a handful of magic power.

“Ha… It’s finally over.”

Deborah let out a sigh of relief.

It seems like a lot of mental energy was spent fighting against imps while destroying traps in succession.

I pointed to the floor.

“Let’s take a break first. “I have a lot of time anyway.”

“Ah yes! The dungeon is a bit tricky.”

“That’s why I brought you here. Because illusion magic is essential.”

“Hihi! Is it so? Then, be nice to me from now on. “You understand, right?”

“Of course. “I am grateful.”

So, just try harder.

I swallowed hard and sat down against the wall to recover my stamina.

And 10 minutes later, we started attacking again.

As the level of magic traps increased, more and more imps appeared. We struggled against the vicious fighting methods and made our way forward.

In the process, Deborah’s magic proficiency increased noticeably.

Of course, it was still difficult, so sometimes I felt like giving up…

“Okay… Why not?”

“Cheer up! Deborah! I only believe in you! You can do it!”

“Joe, please be quiet. Because I have to concentrate.”

When I overtly had expectations and put a burden on him, he cried and destroyed the magic by eating mustard.

We headed forward like that and arrived at the deepest part after about 4 hours.

“Wow, it’s gotten wider.”

“I know. Even just looking at it, it’s not that unusual.”

When wizards created a dungeon, the deepest part always took the form of a wide hollow, perhaps because they had set a national rule.

After giving a cursory response to Deborah’s admiration, I slowly looked around.

‘Where is the boss mob?’

Where is this big guy hiding?

As I was looking for him, I suddenly felt an eerie feeling and raised my head.

Then I could see the monster hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Two heads resembling a wolf, huge wings reminiscent of a bat, a lion’s body, sharp, hook-like claws, and a snake’s tail.

It was a monster of a bizarre shape, as if several creatures had been forcibly joined together.

Deborah followed me to the ceiling and was scared.

“Key, chimera?”

At that sound, the chimera fell as if it were the correct answer.

Coo!

A thick cloud of dust rose along with the shock wave.

I got out of his range, hiding Deborah behind my back.

─Keeeeek!

At the same time, the chimera roared. The deep magical power contained in the cry makes the body tingle. Goosebumps naturally appeared on my forearms.

Deborah asked, squeezing my collar tightly.

“Lu, Luan. Can you win?”

“… I don’t know. “I have to fight first.”

“Ugh… Then why did you come here! Is there a strategy?”

“I don’t have one.”

This is a lie.

In fact, there is a strategy.

However, if Deborah hears that, she will object and tell you to stop speaking nonsense.

That’s because the plan I set up was to have Deborah awaken and defeat her.

Of course, if she can’t, she has the option of using Hua Xin, but she could never tell you that.

It’s not that she simply doesn’t trust her. To awaken her, you have to put her in a desperate crisis.

I am ready for battle.

“Deborah. Be careful. “It’s coming.”

“Yes, four!”

─Keeeeek!

As soon as my signal went out, the chimera leaped powerfully and flew in.

I avoided hitting it head on.

Let’s go!

Its sharp claws created long furrows in the ground following its flight path.

Deborah, who had struggled to escape by jumping away, started crying when she saw that and pointed to the passageway we came out of.

“Hey, let’s go in there first! “Maybe you won’t be able to come in.”

“Okay. Let’s hurry.”

We entered the passage.

This area is not as wide as the cavity, so the chimera’s action radius is limited.

Normally, he would not enter an area where he was at a disadvantage, but fortunately the chimera willingly followed him into the passage.

“Aaaaah! “I can’t believe you came this far!”

Deborah’s scream tickled my ears.

‘Wow, that’s good to hear.’

I stepped forward, coated with magic to prevent my eardrums from going out.

“Deborah. “Go as you always do.”

“Ah, yes! Please hold on just a little longer!”

Our strategy is basically for Deborah to cast magic and turn the tables while I hold out.

Because I was at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of mobility, I couldn’t dare to cast magic, but not here.

If I just defend well from the front, Deborah won’t be in danger.

Of course, I have no intention of going easy.

‘I have to block it while getting hit appropriately.’

I ran the simulation in my head, and from then on, I fought and defended against the chimera, creating a dangerous situation.

─Keeeee!

Bang! Kwakwang!

Every time the guy’s foot struck, a stiff shock swept through my body.

It was in the meantime.

“Haaaaab!”

Deborah’s illusion magic hit the chimera.

The guy who was running wild stopped moving for a moment due to illusion magic.

But there was a fatal problem: the chimera had two heads.

One head was completely frozen by illusion magic, but the other head was confused for a moment, but soon came to its senses and started moving.

Their movements are a bit slow, probably because they usually manipulate their bodies together.

Still, it was still a threat.

“Tsk! Ugh! Deborah. How did this happen?”

“Oh! “Well, I guess it’s because I have two heads!”

“Then use magic one more time! “I’ll hold on for as long as I can!”

“Well, it takes concentration to maintain it… Also, casting a spell is difficult. “I’m sorry.”

Deborah’s expression was sullen.

It seems like he doesn’t think he can be of any help. They brought me here knowing that in the first place, but they are extremely naive.

I clicked my tongue, pretending to be in danger.

“Then I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to use it.”

“Is there a way?”

Deborah’s eyes sparkle as if the meaningful remark she gave her hope. I glanced back at her and handed her offer.

“Deborah. “I have to rape you again.”

“Yes, four!? “Go, go, rape?”

“Okay! Do you remember what happened with Werewolf? Rape makes me strong. Have sex with me one more time!”

“Ah… Oh, no!”

Deborah immediately refused.

That’s because there’s no way there’s anyone in the world who likes being raped. I once said that I liked being raped, but it was already revealed that I was lying.

“Deborah. Think calmly. There’s no chance of winning. Even if you don’t want to do it, you have to do it!”

“Well, it’s not like that! “I like Luan now!”

“… “What?”

What kind of sudden confession is this?

When I asked in confusion, having forgotten the plan, she explained logically.

“You said that rape makes you stronger, right? It’s not something that can be achieved by simply mixing flesh. Right?”

“… Yes. “I figured it out.”

“That’s why it can’t be done. Now, I’m not confident that she won’t like it even if Lu Ann rapes her! Then it’s meaningless!”

“…”

I don’t know what to say.

I never would have thought that Deborah liked me this much. Isn’t this why she finds it funny that I’m acting?

The moment she was about to quit acting.

Shhh!

The snake that formed the chimera’s tail stretched out and rushed from Deborah’s blind spot.

I wrapped her around her without even a second thought.

Kwasik!

Immediately after, the snake’s fangs pierced my shoulder.
