Cheat Majutsu de Unmei wo Nejifuseru

Episode Eight: Cave of Light

The volcanic area, which began after the eleventh floor, is also finally the final floor.

He had managed to reach the twentieth basement floor while battling the demons many times.

The 21st basement floor is an extremely hot floor with magma simmering at your feet.

"Absolutely, Sauji, you can chill cancer without thinking about using magic anymore."

A sweat-wet coona crushes something absurd with her nagging eyes.

So far, Kuna is just magical enough for her natural recovery to keep her surroundings cool. Thanks to this, the ambient temperature had dropped to near 40°C.

But it was forbidden to lower the temperature any further.

If you use so much magic that you can't keep up with your natural recovery, you naturally lose more and more magic.

Without magic in battle, there is nothing to be done and there is a way home.

"Kuna, you're almost there, so bear with me."

"Ugh, I'm starting to want to get rid of my proud tail hair. It's hot too."

Apparently, Coona is not used to the heat because she was constantly unconsciously adjusting to the right temperature.

In the first place, the fox is a creature strong for the cold but vulnerable for the heat.

The Firefox may have similar properties.

"But it's almost over. The nature of the floor changes from the next basement on the 21st floor. If you get that far, say goodbye to the volcano. Until then, patience."

While sweating, Anne has a cool look as usual.

Though, it looks pretty spicy.

It's time to finish this floor, or you can use it to keep it.

Remove the water bottle from the pouch and open the lid.

"Kuna, Anne, come closer"

They approach each other with a slight look on their faces.

And then I smashed the contents of the water bottle into the two of us.

"Geez, it's cold. Sauji, what are you doing all of a sudden!

"But it feels good."

"If you ask me, I'll come back to life. Foxes, very satisfied."

The contents of the water bottle are cold water.

It was always used for hydration. The contents are still cold because the water bottle is highly insulated.

"You've made this easier. Come on, it's last-minute. Let's both hurry up."

"Good luck!

"Yeah, I'm feeling better."

Wet and energized, the footsteps of Kuna and Anne become lighter.

I smile bitterly too and hurry ahead.

And I noticed something.

The clothes are wet and Kuna's underwear is clear.

This is because Kuna is rarely dressed in white on this expedition. Black underwear is also likely to be a clear cause.

Hmm, I'm a lover and I'm used to looking naked and underwear, but this is a good one.

Then, I stare.

"Sauji, what's wrong?

"Nothing. Besides, don't be too vigilant. Mutant species are susceptible here. If they take the lead, they'll die."

"Ugh, that's scary. We have to be on full alert!

Coona turns forward, tingling her fox ears to increase her alertness to her surroundings.

It's a word I went to deceive you, but it's not a lie.

Tenth or twentieth basement floor.

At the borders of such floors, mutant species that manifest themselves with care for a few demons are likely to occur.

When they do poorly, information doesn't exist on top of the fact that they are often stronger than the next hierarchy of demons.

Mutant species have too few individuals, and even the players of the game age are extremely dangerous to gather little information about.

With that in mind, I enjoy Kuna's clear underwear walking in front and her cute, pique moving fox ears and slightly shaking fox tail.

Blessed are the eyes.

Anne lined up next door at some point.

"Sauge, if you look too nasty, you'll be spreading all over Kuna."

That's Anne.

I was noticed.

"Okay. Enjoy it."

"Yeah, that's how it is. I know what a sausage is, but I don't really feel complicated when I look at other girls and get stretched under my nose. It's good to think about it, but don't make it look like it."

"Be careful and enjoy the horny kuna with a firm expression"

"…… Sauge sometimes says something crazy."

Anne is jealous in a weird place.

But that's also the cute part.

"Sauji, Anne, could that be the exit!?

Turn around and scream the way Kuna was excited.

"Right. A strong stream of temper flows from the other side. Beyond here is finally the 21st basement floor. Next area."

"I'm finally free from the heat! Sauji, Anne, let's hurry."

Kuna's fox tail shakes.

So happy.

"Anne, shall we hurry? It's time for me to come into this heat."

"Me too. I hope the next floor is cool."

"I guarantee that. It's a pleasant temperature."

As Kuna blamed us, we made it through the last volcanic area.

Beyond the last volcanic area, the basement twentieth floor, the basement twenty-first floor we followed.

That's where Kuna and Anne had their eyes open.

"Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

"There's a good crystal on one side of the wall. That's very nice."

Until the basement 10th floor is the tree sea area.

Volcanic area up to the twentieth basement floor.

And from the 21st basement floor, it's called the cave area.

It's an underground labyrinth with lots of non-underground floors where the sun falls and there are no ceilings, but all the third floors are interesting like underground caves.

Unlike the volcanic area, where there is no magma light, the only light crystals that illuminate the cave are the light crystals buried in the walls.

"Coona, Anne, let's make sure we have an affordable size light crystal. There are light crystals around here, but if you go back, you go out to a place where there is no light crystal. It is dangerous without a light source. Most of the demons on the 21st floor underground find their prey outside of sight, so the absence of light would be a disadvantageous battle."

The troublesome thing about the cave area is poor vision.

Sometimes when you are on track because you have light crystals around you, you go out into an area where there is no light at all and get raided by demons.

And countless natural traps exist, which, combined with poor vision, are difficult to avoid.

"Is this crystal shining all the way through the wall?

"That's right. Thanks to its nature, you can sell it high if you bring it back to the ground. Today is the only time I can use it as a light source, but I'll pack it in as much bags as I can tomorrow as I aim for the ground. You can be a little rich."

Anyway, light crystals are an ideal source of light without any fuel.

This is the time to burn wax and oil to secure a light source.

With light crystals, the cost of fuel for a lifetime floats, the beauty as a crystal stands out, and nobles and rich people want it. It also has a great attraction that it doesn't smell like burning oil and doesn't produce heat. Traded at a hell of a price for a lot of deductions.

Rank 3 and above, it was popular as a gold measure for those strong enough to break through the volcanic area.

Some number are on the market but prices do not drop at all.

Demand is too great, the number of searchers is low enough to break through the volcanic area, the amount of searchers can carry is limited, and the supply cannot keep up. It is unlikely that demand for light crystals will be saturated.

"I see, that's nice. I want one in my room too."

"Well, trying to study at night doesn't make candle bills stupid either. And it's beautiful, so it's good for the decor."

"With this, you can stay up all night!

Maybe Kuna shouldn't have it. In good shape, I'm going to play every night and get sick.

"Sauji, it's cool, and they make it easy to camp on the main road. You don't have to go all the way back to the fourteenth basement to camp here."

As Kuna said, the 21st basement floor looks suitable for camping.

The entrance is a wide main road with good prospects, and the proximity of demons will be easily noticed if bounded. Besides, I don't even feel any signs of demons from around me. Temperature and humidity are both comfortable and comfortable to sleep in, and the surroundings are always illuminated by light crystals. It's exactly the kind of floor that was born for the camp.

... so dozens of explorers and players who camped here died without a morning.

By the way, I did it once, too. He was dead when he realized it. At the time, being a top player, I didn't have much information because I got to the 21st basement floor as fast as I could.

The players, who don't even know why they died, desperately came to the conclusion that the truth should now be revealed and that they should never camp here.

"If you don't want to die, you should stop. This is the Dungeon Worm's nest."

Yes, it is a nest of demons of extremely poor nature.

In my gaming days, I was put up in a tent and I slept well, and I died in circles. The connection that set the alarm on the main road was also helpless to him.

"Are you Dungeon Worm?

I don't think I've ever heard of Kuna.

Well, most of the Seekers who saw him are dead, so naturally.

"Well, no, but I'll see you later. Scream if the ground shakes a little."

"That's good, but I have a pretty bad feeling about just some name"

"That's a pleasure later. Quickly, dig the light crystal. Keep it as small as you can so it's easy to carry."

When I said that, Kuna and Anne started digging light crystals buried in the walls.

Well, when will the Dungeon Worm strike?

They sense enemies with vibrations.

Already, the vibrations we caused by walking must have told them the ground and let them know where we were.

Those guys are cautious and cunning.

I'm sure they'll come after us where we were caught off guard.

A troublesome demon dungeon worm that also devoured and killed numerous veteran explorers and players.

Once upon a time, there was also a grudge of murder.

If you attack me, I'll pay you back... and I'll eat you anything.
