Chapter 10 – Dungeon O’S (3)

The purpose of the cultists to occupy the dungeon was clear.

In order to break the seals placed by the good gods and release the army of evil gods he enshrines.

To this end, they try to undermine the power of the seal with all sorts of bizarre rituals.

“Eating human flesh is part of that ritual, too.”

“Is it like human sacrifice?”

In the end, Karla, who was eating honey-marinated apples instead of meat skewers, tilted her head.

“Similar. Strictly speaking, it is not sacrificing a person, but the act of eating a person itself.”

Turbid union.

He is an evil spirit related to appetite.

For this reason, monsters following the turbid unity are specialized in eating something, and the authority given to followers shares the same context.

“This is something I learned at the academy. Are you referring to monsters with strong appetites, such as sand worms and slimes?”

“I know that. Senior too.”

“Swimming..Hehe.”

“Well, now you are my slave.”

“Ah….”

Carla’s face went back and forth between liking it and becoming depressed and then busily.

As we giggled at that figure, Carla asked in a timid voice.

“I… Master? It’s not that I don’t trust the Master. Never never never uh… Should I say that you don’t believe me? So what does this mean….”

“Just be honest.”

“There are cultists as well as monsters, but it’s true that I can clear them… ?”

Did he lose his self-confidence while receiving slave education? Or am I overestimating dungeons and cultists?

Either way, she didn’t like it, so instead of answering her, she gave her a light slap on the butt.

Slap.

“Kyaa!”

Carla jumps up in her place, covering her own ass.

She’s been glancing around because of her new gear, but her full attention is on her as she even screams.

Carla bowed her head and dyed her face red, perhaps ashamed of having her butt beaten in front of so many people.

I squatted down on Karla’s ass and pulled her towards me.

“Shh. You were talking about something important right now.”

“Lord, my master slapped me on the butt….”

“What? So is it my fault?”

“Oh no! I guess it’s my fault! I’m sorry… !”

She only joked lightly, but Carla shook her head in denial.

No, that’s not all.

Lively.

It’s an awkward move, but isn’t it clinging to me while shaking her hips?

The corner of her mouth twitched at the sight of Karla naturally rubbing her own ass with my hand.

He asked me to be nice to him, but now I know how to fawn.

“Hmmmm. Then it’s done.”

Pat pat.

I patted her butt with the meaning of knowing her, and only then did Karla smile with relief.

Shall we go back to the main topic?

“Anyway, Carla, you say I’m fine, but you mean she’s insecure? Regrettably.”

“Ah, yes… I was going to follow her orders properly! Really!”

“Big mouth.”

“… Yes?”

“This dungeon is in a wetland field, and the main monster is Big Mouth. I already figured out the location of the boss.”

Big Mouth is a giant frog-type monster with a deformed head.

Thanks to this, it can swallow prey larger than its own body in one bite, and its entire body is covered with special mucus, showing strong resistance to pure physical attacks.

Looking at it this way, unlike its ridiculous appearance, it seems like a fairly strong monster… The risk level of this guy is only low-medium at best.

That would be the case, since Big Mouth had a very obvious weakness.

Open right away

A monster that can be killed by low-level fire magic if only the vital points can be hit accurately.

There would be no opponent as easy as that for a mage.

If there is one problem, it is the large dungeon and the amount of monsters that fill it….

I already know where the boss is.

It is said that there is no need to get lost on the road or lack of mana fighting miscellaneous guys.

Carla swallowed her saliva as if her thoughts had gone crazy.

“How did the master do that… Ah, no, according to the master’s words, I think it will work out somehow. But the cultists….”

“Don’t worry, someone else will take care of them. Well, I might miss a few, so I have to be careful with the back of my head.”

“Aha? Are there any collaborators of the master?”

Carla looked around in search of a collaborator.

Carla poked her side and pointed at a street vendor near her.

“For now, cast some magic on that skewered house.”

“… Yeah? Oh, he’s a collaborator. Is it okay to use messenger magic?”

“No? Is he a cult? Those are skewers of human flesh.”

“…… ?”

Carla looked back and forth between me and her stall with her confused eyes.

It sounds like a lie, but it’s true.

Right under that stall is the Altar of Cloudy Unity.

Every time a customer buys a skewer and eats it, it is a structure that unknowingly makes them offer up the sin of consuming human flesh to the cloudy Hap-il.

… You can’t even guess just by looking at it.

“First, blow the fireball. Slowly as possible, not aiming at the street vendor or the owner, but with the feeling of breaking her feet.”

“Eww….”

She was Carla who hesitated for a while and looked at me, but soon she lifted the staff as if she had made up her mind.

I was wondering if I should give an order if I had to, but I don’t think it’s necessary.

“Fire. Burn up.”

A short two-bar sentence.

Fire.

A large fireball rose above Karla’s staff.

Instead of being shot straight away, people’s eyes began to focus on the flames that continued to consume her mana and inflate her body.

And fire is an easy-to-understand threat even to those who are ignorant of magic.

Little bit of silence. The ensuing fuss.

“Magic… ? In the middle of the city?”
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Eh, run away! Watch! Call the guards!!”

The people around them began to scatter in all directions, screaming in confusion.

Only.

Except for one skewer shop owner.

“Kuu… !”

Realizing our purpose, the guy contorted his face.

If you step back, the floor will collapse and the altar will be exposed.

Because Karla’s power must have increased as much as her mana poured into her.

If so, there is only one best way for him to do it.

“Ahhh-!”

The stall owner opened his mouth wide. Louder, louder. The jaw was wide open, reaching up to the chest.

Carla’s expression hardened as she was convinced of her range of motion beyond her human limits.

To her, her cult is the source of all evil that corrupted her own father and made herself her slave.

In a way, it would be a natural reaction.

Well, on such a subject, it’s ironic that she later becomes a saint of evil spirits… That future won’t come.

I will make it like that

While concentrating on the necklace containing the shield magic, in case of an emergency.

The cultist’s mouth, which had been widened to the limit, began to twitch as if forcibly chewing something.

Is it hollow predation? To put it simply, it’s a long-distance bite.

If I shut my mouth like that, Karla’s flesh will be torn into chunks.

At most, the magic cast would be scattered in the air or explode in place with the impact.

But that didn’t happen.

It was because Karla’s magic was much faster than that guy’s silence.

“Accelerate. Fireball.”

A starter word in your mouth while adding a line.

The fireball, which had grown to three times the original size due to the continuous injection of magical energy, was launched at a mad speed.

Roaring!

Before the cultist’s mouth can close halfway, he is engulfed in heat waves.

A cultist who has become a black lump of charcoal without even a chance to scream.

However, even though Karla’s magic burned the enemies completely, the momentum did not break.

That’s right, Fireball is not a single spell. It’s range magic.

Aaaaang!!

The deafening sound of an explosion.

At once, the street vendors were blown away without a trace. All that was left there was a large hole leading to an underground passage.

“Her….”

Surprised by the power beyond my imagination, I reflexively turned to Karla.

“Heb.”

Carla hiccups with a more surprised expression than me.

No, what do you do

“Zuin… Hiccup. Sir. This staff is great… Heeep.”

“… Didn’t the Lindelheit family use better staff than they do now? Even though it is expensive, it is at a level that can be obtained if you have money.”

“There were some good wands in the house, but… She said that it would hinder her ability to improve, so she couldn’t use it until she graduated from the academy….”

I think you know what

If your equipment is too good, you may mistake the performance of your equipment for your own skills.

Academyni, who went in to learn, must have meant to focus on learning.

Maybe Carla’s skills are better than I thought.

Nodding her head, the ground where the heat remains… I looked through the large hole in the center.

An eerie altar made of unidentified meat and bones that can be seen in the distance. And a bizarre shimmer that settled a little further away.

As expected.

She smirked and raised the corners of her mouth, and placed her chestnut on Karla’s forehead, who was still staring blankly at her staff.

Right.

“Hyat!”

“Wake. We have to get in quickly before the cultists figure out the situation.”

“… Yep!”

It’s quite tall, but not to the point where you can’t jump.

Grabbing her forehead, she threw herself into her basement with Carla again looking serious.

Thud.

“Ugh.”

Carla frowned at the appearance of the altar, which looked even more disgusting when viewed up close.

Soon she opened her mouth in a cautious voice.

“I… Master? If you don’t have any other party or collaborators, who will deal with the cultists that will come later?”

“Watch.”

“Yes… ?”

“The people who fled earlier must have reported it to the guards. The guards will fight for you.”

“…….”

Carla tilted her head with an expression wondering if this was right.

What

The city of Gef belongs to the Levantine Empire, and the Levantine Empire is a country that strictly prohibits social behavior.

It’s not enough to reveal the existence of a cultist hiding underground, and you succeed in clearing the dungeon?

“This should be rewarded instead.”

He stretched out his hand towards the shimmer behind the altar.
