Black Summoner

Episode 64: Selection

"Ugh, full. So what is it?

You said you found the boss of this dungeon.

Enjoy the rice balls of Ephil and belly-up Serra. I completely forgot about the boss.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I've found a monster like that."

Serra brags about her busty breasts. Oh, Ya threw up blood.

"What was he like?

"That's a water dragon. Something I've seen in books before."

Waterdragon...... is the dragon finally out? As a race, it should have been the most powerful species alongside demons and angels. If it's a low-level dragon, even the current swords and yakuza will be able to deal with it, but being the boss of the dragon sea food cave is equivalent to S grade, I think it's tough first.

"Are you the boss of the dungeon? Colette said it was being strengthened by the resurrection of the Demon King."

"Colette? Is that the witch of Delamis?

"Yeah, he's the one who summoned us to this world. I didn't understand what was going on back then and I was just flabbergasted..."

"I was talking to everyone in the school classroom, and all of a sudden a magic formation appeared on the floor. So it got dark in front of me, and the goddess came out in her dreams... in the cathedral of Delamis when she woke up"

You were flown in a common pattern in fantasy. I can't talk about people either.

"Right, how much do the knives know about dungeons?

"Magic dense spaces, places where monsters have come to roam in dangerous areas and abandoned buildings. Saying dungeons in a bite can include labyrinths, caves, forests, and various forms. While it is dangerous, it also has many valuable items and treasures, which the adventurer likes to step into. Deep down is the residence of the boss monster in the dungeon, and a crusade request against this boss has been announced in the guild"

"Yeah, you're right. You study a lot."

Ya explains the dungeon even. Strange, but he seems smart.

"When we were in Delamis, we used to dive into the dungeons and crusade our bosses. Most of the dungeons were below class C."

"You have experience fighting the boss. Then why do you think the Alliance will make a request for a boss crusade?

"Eh, because the boss is a powerful monster, more danger for adventurers diving into the dungeon"

"I supplement Nana. Because dungeons with bosses have a high incidence of monsters, and more monsters leave the dungeons. There will also be a proportionate increase in damage to peripheral areas."

"Besides, defeating the boss would make the monster less ferocious for a while... I guess. I've heard that the boss will be resurrected periodically."

"Yes. That's why the Alliance frequently issues requests for the boss's crusade. If it's normal, once you knock it down, it's long and decades, and no matter how short it is, it won't come back to life for a year... lately the cycle of revival is fast and the boss is strengthening against the dungeon rank. My home pards have a weak and peaceful monster compared to the other four countries, but there have also been class A equivalent bosses here recently. This is what's causing all the fuss about whether this is a sign of the demon king's resurrection."

As a matter of fact, I'm in charge of the crusade for the B + dungeons around Pards. Fortunately, there are not so many of them, but now I think Rio is overcrowded.

"This Dragon Sea Food Cave we're attacking right now is a Class A dungeon. So, who's the boss here?

"... S-Class Monster"

The four answer with a strange face.

"It's about time we sailed to the Western Continent. Let's tighten this up for training. Serra, show me around."

"Rikai. This way."

Following Serra at the head, he passes next to a hidden passage or a destroyed trap. Crude The monsters on this road seemed to have been annihilated and never encountered on the road.

"Oh, this is where the monster room was"

Large cavity surrounded by water. As we go on the wall, the water level gets deeper. Perhaps one monster after another had emerged from here. In a shallow part of the water level, monster wreckage is built, and the rest is dyed of the water with blood colour as it floats with pukapuka.

In order to show the blades how dangerous the monster room is this time, Kroto was told to keep the monsters from being absorbed. I plan to sneak out and feed my body for the croto minutes when I get home.

"Shh, wow......! How many monsters were here when we were struggling with a few octogigants!?

"It's hard to tell because the carcasses are worn out, but dozens...... no, hundreds?

"I didn't exactly count either, because I was fighting Kroto in hand-to-hand. Counting along the way made me stink."

Naturally, Octogigant carcasses are also mixed there. I was able to break through with force moves because of Kroto and Selah's substandard strength, but if this were the swords and yakuza, I would have packed it. That much violence is vicious.

"If you're willing to step through the monster room, don't try to imitate this and fight like an idiot from the front. If you can't fight normally, turn your head. Create a slightly more favourable situation. Unless you want your people dead."

"Mm, does that mean I look like an idiot in the dark?

"Put down that shaken fist because I didn't say so"

Style that relentlessly breaks this serial mood, I don't hate it, but now weigh yourself in, Serra. And put your fists down quickly, please.

"I see it. Looks like he's sleeping under the water."

"Big."

"Big."

"Big for nothing."

The boss's residence was a giant underground lake. The blue and white light mixes from the gaps in the rock walls, fantastic and very beautiful. But there was a great shade lurking in that underground lake. A water dragon.

"Don't make too many faces out of the rock shade. You may be noticed, even if you are asleep"

………

The four don't try to take their eyes off the dragon.

"Now, as I said earlier, the boss of the dungeon brings disaster to the surrounding cities and countries. If we let it go for a long time, there could be imminent danger to the trage. What about you brave men?

This is my last exam. The path Knife chose...

"- We can't win right now. I'll run away."

"Are you sure? The people in Trage could die, right?

"I'm not going to let Nana, Ya die in vain. Before I was a brave man, I was one of them. I will no longer fight recklessly to be condemned from all around me. We'll rebuild, think about what to do, make sure it's all right, and then we'll fight again."

Knife Ya speaks up. Nana, Nana, Ya snort too.

"... pass. Never forget that mindset."
