Chapter 134 – Day Trip Dungeon (2)

There are many magics for underwater breathing, but among them, the most versatile magic is the air pocket magic.

As the name suggests, it is a magic that creates a large pocket-like space filled with air.

There are pros and cons to this, but anyway, if you actually use this underwater, it looks like you are swimming in the water riding on a large air bubble.

A magic that makes it possible to recreate a scene from a fairy tale that anyone, whether on Earth or on the continent of Eurelia, must have imagined at least once.

… Should have been

“The water is really dirty.”

I didn’t even want a scene like blue waves and swimming fish through the transparent curtain.

But I didn’t know it would be like this.

Maybe because of the green algae, you can only see one inch ahead. Incorruptible garbage and unknown insects that are occasionally revealed.

There probably won’t be any fish. How do you live in a place like this

The good thing is that it looks like this, and as Iris said, no smell or water enters the air pocket at all.

After going down the air pocket for a while under Karla’s control, a blue glow began to appear from the bottom.

“Is it okay to go over there, Master?”

“Yes. Over there brighter than expected The water was muddy, so I thought I might get lost.”

“Conversely, since it’s this cloudy, wouldn’t it be that the light at the entrance to the dungeon doesn’t even show from the outside?”

“It could be.”

She shrugged and told the others.

“Everyone get ready since we’re going into the dungeon soon.”

After a while We rode a large air bubble to the bottom of the pond.

Hwaaak-!

As soon as my body touched the blue glow, the surrounding green water disappeared and my senses were reversed.

He must have been diving underneath, but when he came to his senses, he was suddenly soaring upward.

Toung-

Feeling like someone pushed the air bubble we were in from behind.

After floating in the air for a moment, we were thrown to the ground one by one.

“Suck!”

Reflexively using psychokinesis magic, Iris tied everyone in the air.

… At 30cm in the sky.

“Wow. Do you catch this?”

“As expected, higher level mages are different.”

“Oh? Did you know now? Master’s greatness!”

Hehe..Hehe….”

Carla and I admired the swift and accurate magic. And for some reason, she is the Elisha she boasts about.

Faye was just giggling in surprise.

Seeing the four of us like that, Iris shyly put them down on the floor.

“I must have been overly nervous since I came to the dungeon after a long time. You forgot that the starting point is safe.”

“Nope. Well done. The fact that the starting point is safe means that it is safe from monsters. It was fine here, but sometimes the cultists hid in advance or set traps, so the quick response earlier was a good thing.”

“Hmmmm. If the owner treats me well, I will continue to do so.”

“Yes. But please don’t step forward unless it looks really dangerous. Iris, if you lead the way, we have nothing to do.”

“Okay. I’ll be watching closely from behind, so feel free to run amok to your heart’s content.”

Iris pounding her small breasts.

Looking at the unshakable figure, my head naturally calms down.

If it’s not just me, everyone takes out their staff and wands with serious expressions, as if wondering when they were flirting.

“Senior Fei, please come to the middle.”

“Uh… I can make a simple golem too? It’s made on the spot, so it’s very weak.”

“How strong are you? By Fisherman standards.”

“I should be able to catch at least one normal fisherman!”

“How about two?”

“… Time can be turned off!”

“They say that if you meet three or more of them, you will be killed.”

“Ugh….”

Fey grabs her chest as if she has been hit.

Seeing them sway indiscriminately caused a ripple in my heart.

You’re anxious….

Fishermen are monsters that come together in groups of at least three.

What… Strictly speaking, Fay’s golem is not weak.

Since his basic skills are so good, he should be able to create above-average specs even if he is not very knowledgeable about golems.

Even if you create it on the spot like you do now, you won’t be able to struggle against just a few fishermen.

It’s not Fay’s golem that’s weak, it’s Faye herself, so it’s a problem.

Dwarves say that the race itself is innate with basic combat power, but even Fae, who is a mixed race, does not fight well.

Is it because it is a natural bone production job, or is it because of the huge weight that hinders movement?

Fay said that all factors related to combat were at a disastrous level.

If you throw poison or bombs, they all miss, and even if you control the golem, for some reason, it just wanders in the air.

In addition, his personality itself is timid, so he actively fights against it, or his ability to cope with sudden situations is somewhat lacking.

It was the same at H&A, and from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem to be much different now.

In the future, there might be cases where she would go around dungeons with Fae, but it would be better not to involve her in battles.

“There is another place for Fei-senpai to step out, so please follow safely from the center now.”

“Yes….”

Faye nodded sullenly. I took a seat around such a Fay.

First of all, as a guide, I have to test the robe’s invisibility performance, so I’m in the first place.

As Iris said, she is the last person who can watch us all.

The remaining Carla and Elisha were in formation standing on either side of Fay.

“Then let’s set off. If you follow the route I told you before, you should be able to clear it in no time.”

“Yes!”

I looked at the entrance only after confirming that everyone was nodding their heads.

A large circular passage made of bluish stones. The water was up to ankle height underneath, but it wasn’t as dirty as outside the dungeon.

It’s just plain seawater, slightly salty and fishy.

Splash splash.

Every time I walk down the aisle, I hear the sound of water filling the floor.

It was because everyone was nervous at the thought of being inside the dungeon.

At first, it was obviously one huge passage, but as I went a little further, it split into two or three paths, and the road started to become very complicated.

This is why labyrinthine dungeons are scary.

If the regen type dungeon had a twisted timeline and the monsters kept reviving at regular intervals, forcing an infinite war of attrition.

You can think of a labyrinth type dungeon as a dungeon in which the space is twisted and the paths are complicatedly tangled.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a big problem for me since I memorized the map of this dungeon itself.

This is what I felt when I started to use the information I knew about H&A in earnest… In fact, isn’t the most powerful trait I have is an excellent memory trait?

When I actually played on Earth, I alternated between someone’s map on my phone and my play screen several times.

Now, the memories of that time come to mind clearly and I can easily find my way around.

But even after walking for a long time, I wonder if the tension has eased a little after I came to a fork in the road and an empty room. Elisha asked, tilting her head.

“Come to think of it, this is a completely different environment from outside the dungeon. During the practice dungeon, it was the same forest even though the structure was different.”

“Ah, there are cases where the inside of a dungeon is related to the outside environment, but there are more cases where it is not.”

“Is that so? After all, dungeons are created by removing space with monsters, so in a way, you learned that it can be said to be a place that preserves the past 300 years ago, Yandel.”

“That’s right. Most of the dungeons retain their appearance from 300 years ago.”

Now you can get extinct animals and plants, or rare metals whose mining volume has dropped drastically.

That’s why some dungeons are not cleared, but they are constantly managed and resources are drawn.

“But the problem is that this doesn’t necessarily mean that a dungeon is created in a place where space is separated.”

It is very common for the interior and exterior of the dungeon to not match.

In the first place, the dungeon itself is what happens when you can’t throw away what you tried to distort the space in the first place.

It would be easier to understand if you crumpled up a piece of toilet paper and threw it into a trash can, and it bounced off the rim.

Wasn’t it scattered all over the place? It’s just like that.

“The dungeon in Geff City that I went to with Karla was built in an underpass, but inside it was a swamp.”

“Ah. You mean where Big Mouth comes from?”

“Yes. But Gef City was a land with good transportation even 300 years ago, so there was no such thing as a swamp.”

“Hey… Then do you know where it was originally?”

“It must have been the beginning of the ban on witches on the outskirts of the Levantine Empire. The witches who lived there were dispersed after being attacked by Big Mouse, who had become the servant of the evil spirit, and it must have been made into a dungeon when only monsters remained in the area.”

You can infer which area in the past has become a dungeon through the documents and items you can get by carefully exploring the inside of the dungeon.

In every nook and cranny of Geff City Dungeon, you can find a few crumbling huts and notes left by witches.

“By the way, this dungeon we are in now is a facility in Atlantis, the kingdom of mermaids that has now collapsed.”

“Atlantis… It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.”

Iris nodded in a faint voice.

Fay cautiously asked Iris.

“I… Are you Iris? Have you ever been to Atlantis? I miss you so much….”

“Right. I have yet to follow her master when she was younger than Elisha now.”

“Master’s master… Who were you?”

“You were a great elementalist. Although he fought bravely during the Great War and was killed in action.”

“Government ordinance… Are you drunk?”

“Because spirits were legal back then.”

Iris shrugged.

No. Since Jangsaengjong is stuck, this is what happens.

For a moment, I was stunned by the recollection of Iris that I couldn’t even imagine.

Iris, who was looking around carefully, shook her head in regret.

“But I don’t know where this place is.”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s a drainage here.”

If Iris had followed his master to visit as a guest, he might not have known because he would show you some other nice places and not the sewers.

Carla tilted her head at my nonchalant answer.

“Uh… Aren’t mermaids a species that lives in the water? Do you still need a gutter, Master?”

“Of course. Rather, it is in the water, so drainage is more important.”

If done wrong, wouldn’t all sorts of garbage and excrement float here and there?

This is an aside, but mermaids do not actually appear in H&A, they are a species that only appears in the setting.

During the War of the Gods, because they were underwater, they couldn’t receive support from other races in time, so the kingdom was captured by underwater monsters.

Some mermaids escaped, but….

The mermaid who fled to the sea was hunted after being chased by an underwater monster who became the new ruler of the sea.

The mermaids who fled to the mainland were hit here and there by the war and eventually all died.

In the first place, mermaids themselves were a minority race with a small population, so it was natural.

Atlantis is also a country, but in terms of scale, it is just a very large city.

Of course, the power of mermaids was great enough to be recognized as a nation.

At least in the water, it was good enough to be called the strongest, so it wasn’t a place to perish in vain….

The war of the gods is a fight in which the evil god and the good god directly intervene.

Let the evil spirit of narrow-minded usurpation raise the entire kingdom to the surface.

The mermaid, who couldn’t use her strength outside the water, was annihilated by an army of fishermen who fought well outside the water.

“That’s why the water only comes up to my ankles here… Oh wait, everyone.”

He stopped talking and stopped his party.

Then he snapped his chin and pointed to a room in the distance.

“That’s the room with the monster. Iris. Cast a stealth spell on everyone except me and follow me.”

I’m thinking of trying out the robe.

He infused magic into the black robe he was wearing.

Ugh-

As if my body assimilated into the landscape, it melted transparently.
