D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared
§ 064 First Queen 12/11 (tue)
Wow
The landscape overwhelmed us when we went down to the eighteenth floor.
There was a desolate landscape of large rocks rolling over the dark earth, and a sea of clouds spreading everywhere beneath sharply cut cliffs.
I don't suppose there's a dungeon spreading beneath that cloud sea.
"Looks like it's dozens of kilometers."
"What's going on with the map of this layer?
"It's not finished."
We were spirally investigated from this position to find the descending stairs, but with the discovery of the descending stairs, the investigation team moved to the lower level, the outside of which was hardly investigated.
I sighed as I saw the sea of clouds stretching far beneath my feet and the collapsed slopes that were about to descend.
"I see, I know how you feel."
I can't see the end of it. The prospects are just good, and it's going to be superfluous.
Looking up, there was a sharp, sharp ice-eating peak.
Several peaks lined up, and one of the biggest peaks approached like amalgam with mercury in an aluminum hole.
I kicked the black rock under my feet with my toes.
Basalt.
Miyoshi nodded and looked up and said, "It is certainly Mount Kenya, that is."
There was a climber in the militia unit that first explored the area. He looked at the mountain and said it was Batian Peak (* 1). Subsequent investigations near the summit of the mountain meant that the crew was at the centre.
"Is that why the investigation of the more troublesome mountaintop directions is well done, even though it is not very well investigated under the Cloud Sea?"
"It would be a legend if you were to escape and climb while exploring, or if the punishment were 28 days of caution."
"What is that?
Among several peaks in Mount Kenya, the first summit of Mount Lenana was achieved by three Italians during World War II, who were said to have been prisoners of the British army.
I wonder if that's what happened or if he escaped, climbed the mountain, went down the mountain, and returned to the camp. As a result, he spent 28 days in solitary confinement.
We're not angels, are we?
"Well, I escaped, but you're right to go back. Honestly, I can't forgive that movie."
"Why, the 1955 edition is a nice Christmas movie." Wonderful, life! I like you more than the Miracle of the 34th Chome?
"All right, senpai. After Christmas dinner, I'll see you later. Almost all of Decem's 1888! It's more than 3/4 left?! At that point, maybe 30 years old! She's the same age as the hero."
When I heard that, I said in a daze.
"You might want to change your perspective on the movie."
Looking at the dogs of war, whoever cares about the Glenfiddich where Christopher Walken gets hit, he's the only one who cares about the Champagne brands that the last soldiers drink.
The movie thought, "Surprisingly, you drink in a decent glass. I feel like it's a normal trumpet or something."
Nevertheless, I like to escape and climb mountains.
Of course, if you do that here, the monster will soon kill you.
"Still, why is there an empty space near the top of the mountain?
I said that while looking at the map at hand.
When I got there, I thought it might be the climber's nature to climb up... the top of the map was just marked with a no-go area, and it was blank.
It looks like there's something at the top of the mountain that Naruse gave me.
"Anything?
That said, Miyoshi took out the tablet and showed me the relevant documents.
Two of the first three militia members to climb there were promoted to the second class as soon as they entered the area.
"Is this... unique like the Hecate the other day?
"Maybe. You're a god, aren't you?"
After all, it was Kirinyaga, and Miyoshi fell asleep.
The native Kikuyu call Mount Kenya Kirinyaga. It means "mountain of gods". I've read Mike Reznick's novel.
"At the top of the mountain, there is a sun god named Enkai sitting in a golden chair."
"God doesn't know...."
"And Enkai is a local word, Ngai. Senpai, you're about to come out.
"If that's the forest in northern Wisconsin."
Ngai is said to have been in northern Wisconsin under the name of a forest where Nyallattep was based.
Of course, it has nothing to do with Encai.
"This dungeon isn't going to be very stylish."
Sure could be. Wizardry's RPG has always been full of words.
"If Nyalu-sama comes out on the 18th floor, I'll run away, put on the futon, and never disobey Dungeon again."
I laughed and looked up at the Batian.
"Anyway, it seems that the cave is at the foot of that peak, commonly known as Batian."
"All right, I'll leave the exploration of the summit, where that horrible thing is lurking, to someone else, and we'll take it from here to the bottom."
I don't know, it sounds like a flag.
Using Miyoshi's unpleasant dialogues as a cue, we started walking into the underground cave where Genomos and his men waited.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"But there really aren't any Explorers here. Naruse was right."
"It's called one layer, it's called ten layers... lately, it seems like there's only one layer that is completely unpopular."
"I think you're lucky there."
Defeating monsters like the Alps Eyebex and walking alpine plants, we arrived at what we thought was the entrance to the underground cave in about two hours.
Fortunately, even in this layer, our means of attack continued unabated.
The place was like a slightly larger entrance to Gamma (* 2).
I thought there might be a bigger entrance, but I was surprised by the size.
"You've found such a cave."
"Well, I thought you might want to come in here."
"Like the climbers, maybe there was a Cave Mania who loved Caving."
It seems that there are Japanese caving federations, Japanese caving societies, etc.
"Majdeska"
"When the dungeon came out, it was closed up."
Well, the dungeon is a cave, isn't it?
It seems that before the dungeon, there were many universities, such as the exploration department, the underground research department, and eventually the cave research association.
Since the last one was Yamaguchi University, it must have been Akiyoshi-dong's research meeting. Such an expert when the dungeon is ready? I wonder if we had been caught in the press.
When I walked through the entrance wearing a headlighted helmet, it was a fairly thin, lava cave-like place.
It's a huge lava tree, isn't it?
Oh, speaking of basalt.
Basaltic lava is less viscous. So, if this mountain was created when it was an active volcano, it would be very likely.
"There are spiders in the back, and it seems that there are extraordinary flowers in bloom."
In their series, Reijiro Sakada talks about finding extraordinary flowers through the lava tree shape of Fuji.
But that's exactly what the road looked like. Until the cave spreads a little later.
When I opened my eyes, I was staring at it.
"Miyoshi... sorry. This is an artificial cave... no matter what."
That's right.
In the sudden spread of space, we met, but our mouth was not blocked by much majesty.
It was clearly a square in front of an underground temple built artificially.
Thanks to the crystal-like substances dotted here and the light-emitting lichens, it was thin and bright underground.
"Senpai, that stone doesn't emit radiation."
Indeed, the scene in Mrs. Curie's biography is reminiscent of a scene in which purified radium emits blue light.
"No, I don't think radium is that bright."
There are no cautionary recommendations, and I believe in super recovery and tried to touch it, but it is not particularly likely to cause burns.
It seemed good to think of it as just pale light.
Looking up, it is a fine decoration that makes the heavy stone pillars look lighter. It is scattered with pointy head arches and flying buttresses.
The times seem mixed, but on the whole, is it close to Gothic style?
"Senpai, Genomos is a monster, right?
I see.
"But this looks like a cultural activity."
Sure it's a building? That's true, but I don't know if Genomos made it.
It is also highly probable that the dungeon, like the flavored text, created a majestic temple in the basement, where Genomos simply settled.
A number of stupid shadows appeared beyond the temple.
"Senpai, what's the last two digits?
"Seven more!
Copy that.
I started shooting at the water lance like a little silhouette coming from the other side of the temple.
Miyoshi takes Arzuruz out of the shadows, guards the surroundings, and scatters iron balls. There are only three of them, because one is left at the office.
Soon the first orb choice came.
--------
Skill Orb Mining 1/10,000
Skill Orb 1 of 1,000,000
Skill Orb Night Vision 1 of 8,000,000
Skill orb land magic 1/90,000,000
--------
All right, we're on schedule! I accidentally took a guzzle pose.
But one in 10,000? Doesn't that make you crazy if someone gets it?
"There aren't enough Explorers coming underground like this! Senpai, please do it seriously!
The genomos in the underground cave seemed to flood infinitely.
"Something like this game I've seen before..."
Yes, First Queen. It was supposed to be a game long before we were born, but with the momentum of the gotcha character system, there was a massive flow of genomos from beyond the temple.
When the second orb choice came, Genomos stopped and started murmuring.
Every time, a stone crushed from somewhere.
"Shit, Miyoshi. Back off a bit!"
"Ri, roger!
I lowered Miyoshi behind me and took out a shield in both hands. I looked around while guarding the rubble.
We tried to retreat to the entrance, but there's already a swarm of Genomos around you.
"I have no choice but to retreat....."
"There's only one place to escape."
That said, Miyoshi pointed in the direction of the temple.
If you're stubborn, you could be buried in Genomos and isolated in a huge herd. I definitely wanted to avoid it.
"We have no choice but to take refuge in the temple!
With my shield in my pocket, I rushed to the majestic temple with all my might.
"Pull it up before you're surrounded!" Miyoshi shouted.
No matter how hellhound it is, if it is surrounded by that amount of material, it will be crushed. Get the hell out of here, you guys.
Genomos' siege has shrunk to encompass us, but I ran up the temple stairs faster.
The exterior looked Gothic, but the interior was dominated by Greek and Egyptian columns.
When I jumped into the front door with a bunch of Genomos chasing me from behind, I forcefully closed it.
A loud noise and a thick door wrapped the room completely in darkness. Apparently, the headlights were crushed by stones. I heard something hitting the door from the front, but after a while, I couldn't hear it either.
Looking around, there were three pairs of golden eyes in the darkness. Looks like they all got away.
"Senpai, it's quiet now."
Unfortunately, life signs indicate that many creatures remain there.
"I can't. Looks like there's a lot of them left."
"If you have a lot of people, why don't you shoot a bullshit iron ball from here?
"No, if it's just a weird stimulus and the door is broken. Let's make it a last resort."
That's what I said. I took out the LED cantilever from the vault and switched it on.
About 1,000 lumens of LED alone was insufficient to illuminate the rear space.
I gave Miyoshi a spare headlight and I wore it myself.
There was a narrow corridor long before us.
"Icelem, can you see if there's anything up ahead?
Miyoshi asked for it, and as the nodded ice cream came along the corridor.
Driftstone Hellhound, I'm sure you have a good night's eye.
"Well, if you can't go beyond the door, you'll have to go deeper."
When I tied a little LED lantern around my string and tied it to Durtwin's neck, I decided to get ahead.
He was guarding me in my shadow for a while, and he was the best dog of the three.
There will still be time before sunset, but it is already a long time late in the afternoon.
When we were ready, we started walking behind the previous ice cream.
