"OK! Do you want to go to the dungeon now?"

The Force made a shocking statement shortly after I finished introducing myself.

"Well, now?"

Neither the preparation of the mind, the preparation of the equipment, nor the preparation in a powerful sense has been done yet.

I didn't expect to dive into the dungeon if I hadn't been in the city for a day, and I'm only wearing weapons and armor that's cheap enough to be a bottom adventurer.

Even a sword's arm can't defeat even a small fish monster that appears in forests everywhere.

It would be impossible for a top adventurer to dive into a dungeon that easily kills life without me preparing. Die.

"Because it's a newcomer-is it a notebook? I'm going to try to see if [mapping] can really be used in a dungeon?-Jin's idea is a hypothesis."

"That's true ... but today is late and tomorrow?"

Erin was leaning on the back of the chair, not only saying she was going to go to the dungeon now.

The Force continues without concern for Erin's attitude.

"If you only go to the first level, you will be able to return immediately. It is important to be able to use [mapping] of notes, so let's solve it as soon as possible."

"I see. I'll go and come home by dinner time."

Satisfied with the Force's proposal, Erin stands up with her arms outstretched.

Members other than me also began to sit after her.

"Wait! Are you okay, me? Even if you enter the dungeon? Even if you were an adventurer before, you can not fight at all ...

Despite my anxiety, Jin, who was about to leave the dining room, looked back with a smile.

"Okay. Don't worry."

What's okay? One ......

Thus, my first dungeon search was decided abruptly without any preparation.

***

The city of Purif is a city that is surrounded by walls to prevent wild monsters from getting inside.

The walls have magical treatments that make them unbreakable by ordinary monsters.

The magical alms are financed by collecting a small amount of magic from the residents of the city.

The collection of magic also helps to supply lifelines such as water and electricity.

Therefore, the general situation is that a city with a large number of residents has a better environment and higher safety.

One of the gates on the wall of Purif, the southern gate, is commonly called the dungeon gate.

This gate is so called because, as soon as you dive, you can see the entrance to the purif dungeon on the right hand side, and the adventurers who dive into the dungeon pass through.

We, The Arrivers, also passed through the dungeon gate as usual, and came to the dungeon entrance adjacent to the southwest of the city.

The entrance to the dungeon was in a stone building with moss.

It is so old and dignified that the interior of the building is so large that there is only one large room, a transparent crystal of human size in the center, and the same as the material of the building in the back There was a door made of stone.

The end of this door is the entrance to the dungeon and leads to the first level, the shallowest level of the dungeon.

The crystal at the center is a transition crystal, which can be used to move to a transition crystal that has been visited once in the dungeon.

It seems that all the members of "Arrivals" have reached the 15th level, so they can move by transfer, but since I have never set foot in the dungeon, I will go from one level to the next level I have to get it.

In other words, "Arrivals" will capture the dungeon from scratch with my new entry.

Despite its disadvantages, Jin and his team would have decided that adding a mapping team would eventually lead to faster dungeon domination.

The door leading to the first level of the dungeon was mist-like when opened, making it impossible to see through.

I am nervous about my first dungeon search, and when I stop in front of the door, I am pushed hard.

"Wow!"

He loses his balance and steps forward two or three steps.

As he returned and turned forward, a dim, narrow space spread out.

When I looked sideways, there was a rock face within reach or out of reach.

Looking forward again, a black outline is floating in the dim light, and it seems that we will proceed further.

When comparing this place to what I know, the most similar is in a cave.

The coldness and smell of the skin reminds me of a cave near Changs, who often played with Meyer.

It was fun at that time. Whatever you do, Meyer is next to you.

"Well, Mr. Force. Don't push it!"

"It's bad because you're stopped at that place? Don't be afraid, let's go straight ahead."

Well, I was afraid, but ...

You don't have to press it ...

"How about [mapping] than that? Did you use it properly?"

"Yes, it looks OK"

A map of 1km around was floating firmly in my brain.

The lane we are in now branches innumerably ahead of the way, showing that this hierarchy is made as complex as an ant nest.

"I'm glad"

The Force says simply.

Jin hit her shoulders to share the joy.

Neme also tried to make a high-five and dropped his hand on the way to see if he was distracted. The shyness barrier doesn't seem to be solved yet.

Erin just glanced out of interest.

Although there was a disparity in the response, each response felt warm.

Because it's proof that I can be at this party.

This is my new location.

I visited one level to see if [Mapping] could be used, but if I came this far, I decided to break through one level and move on to my reaching level.

In all levels, it seems that the transition crystal exists at the entrance immediately after the door from the previous level.

The goal of this search is to take me to a two-level transition crystal, so that the next search will allow me to start capturing from the second level.

In the dark road, Gin first, Neme, Me and the Force line up, and finally Erin.

This is nothing more than a formation, it just happens if each walks properly.

For the time being, Jin looks at the one-level map on the market where the shortest route is written, and while traveling along the way, I don't think it's perfectly suitable.

Even so, there's no tension, this party ...

The Arrivers is a first-rate party.

Rumors say that.

However, looking at the actual situation, there were many parts that tilted their heads, "What?"

Neme is humming and humming and walking.

I'm really worried that those average adventurers are coming into dungeons that are all afraid.

The party I had on occasion when I was in Broad was still stronger.

Look around.

A mysterious light blue ore, whose name is unknown, is buried in some places on the rock wall, keeping the cave exquisitely bright.

There is no problem for walking, but I cannot see ahead.

At the moment, there is no dungeon at sight.

The glowing ore was in a cave on the ground, and the winding road was not particularly strange.

But when I focus on the map that floats in my brain with my skills, I realize that this is a dungeon.

[Mapping] is a skill that stores information about 1km around as a map. The 1km includes the top and bottom, and when you are on the ground, if there is something under the ground, that information will come in.

However, the top and bottom of the current map are blank.

Nothing. I can't seem to be on the ground, even at two levels.

This is out of the world.

Perhaps each tier is in a disconnected space.

"Everyone stopped. The enemy is coming from the road that splits on the right side. There was a response to" Searching enemies. "The number is six. There seems to be no particularly strong monster."

Jin suddenly turned his palms and took control of the party.

The other members, with Jin's instructions, immediately raise their weapons and enter combat.

-That was not the case.

Neme was still humming, and Erin was short-lived.

"Um ... are you okay? I'm not ready to fight ..."

"Oh, there's no big deal about monsters that appear on one level."

The Force goes on without stopping.

"You don't have to come out because I'll do it."

Pull out the gin while waving your hand.

Jin accepted or stopped on the spot and led the Force ahead.

A shadow appears from the darkness. One person, two people.

One neck higher than me. It is also thick on the side.

The shadow of the part that touches the hand is growing. Do you have a weapon?

The closer the distance, the sharper the shadow.

That is not a person.

It's a corner. There are horns. Left and right asymmetric.

There are even fangs. Even the sharpness of the eyes is different.

First of all, the skin color is different from humans.

The exact color is not known in the light blue light illuminated by the crystal, but at least it is not white, flesh-colored, or black.

It's close to red.

It looks like a demon. Or rather, the demon itself.

The Force goes straight to the six demons with spears and axes, as if taking a walk.

He has no weapons.

――Tsu

I heard my breathing sound.

At the same time.

Shu ----.

The sound of the six demons slicing through the air with no gaps, and a near-perfect surprise tracing through the forces.

No, no. To be precise, where the force was.

He was first. Seen from us, the other side of the demon. He was standing still with his weapons.

However, the demons who turned their backs have not yet noticed its existence.

I haven't kept up. To his speed. To the fact that we avoided without using weapons.

I was surely killed if I was there.

Without knowing anything, he would have broken his head and pierced his torso.

It was such a perfect surprise.

Cold sweat passes through the temples.

The dread of dungeons and the power of the Force.

It was the moment I saw them.

"That's thanks to the [spectacle] skill. It's a skill that can catch almost all attacks. And the other two skills the force has are [magic resistance / large] and [swordsmanship / Pole]

Jin had fallen to me next to me as the Force moved me.

"[Swordsmanship / pole]-"

He reacted unexpectedly to Jin's words.

--very.

This is the highest martial arts skill, the same as [Music / Pole] that Meiya had.

"let's go--"

The Force puts his hand on one of the two swords on his waist, the handle of a white sheathed sword.

And pulled out. A sparkling silver blade appears.

It was a moment.

It's too thin for a sword flash, and a flexible line follows the demon.

What remained was the trail of the sword and six dead bodies.

To be honest, it was my first time. I saw the height up there.

And the Force's sword was not enough to just slaughter the lives of the demons, but pulled out something important in my heart.

I knew it wouldn't arrive in an instant.

His ability surpassed that of Miya who had the same extreme skills.

If her abilities were developing, the Force's abilities had been completed.

I was attracted. Yearned. Envied I was sorry

One year ago, the feeling of just watching the battle of Meya returns.

Just one. One thing that was different from a year ago was that I was used to it.

To that feeling. In despair.

So there were few scars. My heart did not break.

Still okay. I can still do it.

***

Did he walk for more than an hour?

Me and the members of Arriveers had reached the boss room on one level.

There were many forks on the road, but it took less time because I could get through the shortest route without getting lost.

Jin says the purif dungeon has been searched up to six levels.

Perfect maps drawn by adventurers without skill are sold in town.

From the seventh level, only some adventurers can advance, and only the maps that draw the shortest route are on the market.

If it were more accurate, it would only be a map created by the party.

After a break in front of the boss's room, the Force put his hand on the door to move on.

"Wait a minute!"

Erin cried out. Pick up the stick on the floor and walk to the Force.

"Ah, what?"

"Do you want to defeat the boss alone?-I'm going to take too much. Let us fight properly."

"Hey, I'm trying to get you better. Leave the small fish monsters to me and they'll come out in the boss fight."

"I don't think I'm going to let the Force do this ...

"what?"

Both glaring in front of the door. It seems unlikely that both will be pulled.

Certainly, Erin doesn't know what to say.

All the monsters I met on the road so far were cleared up by the Force alone.

Thanks to this, I couldn't understand that the force was strong, but I was worried about the ability of the other members.

Is it as strong as the force, or is it not there? Or is it above the Force?

"I also want to see where others are fighting ..."

"Ok, let's do it. Instead, I won't do anything."

The Force seemed reluctant and moved away from the door.

He invited the priest's name with the same momentum, saying, "I'm free and I'll do it, but I'm usually refused."

The Force looks at me.

I don't do it too ...

Erin opens a door with a strange pattern.

I thought it would be hard to open it because it was a thick door, but it seems unlikely.

It opened smoothly.

At the end of the door, there are more than ten monsters, the first monsters we met, one with a large monster that is similar in color and body to the demon but several times around the road Several devils fluttering wings were waiting.

Of these, the only one we see for the first time.

Maybe he's a boss monster.

Aura, the pressure is different by only one animal.

The door closes on its own.

We rushed into the room to follow Erin.

The light of the door closing and the light of the door sounded, and the tip of the staff raised by Erin shone.

"Black Thunder!"

Black thunder heads to stick to the devil on the far right.

The moment he thought the lightning tip had landed, Erin swept his wand up to the left.

Lightning spreads to match the movement of the staff and burns monsters.

--spell.

A mystery that relies on magical power, used by battle wizards such as mages.

Generally referred to as magic.

He came as an adventurer for a year and wandered through various parties, but this was the first time that a sorcerer could shoot such a powerful and destructive spell.

Originally, a mage gives off a smaller spell, and if you shoot a spell with such a mess, the magic power will run out in an instant.

Nevertheless, Erin stands laughing lightly.

She was also one of the nonstandard.

Lightning strikes hit ceilings, ground and walls, destroying the surroundings.

The dust fluttered and the traces of the thunder burned were covered in white.

"Such a thing"

Looking back, Erin stepped down.

It was that moment. There was a shadow emerging from the smoke.

Devil. A few surviving demons have jumped out.

"Erin, you're shooting too much spelling. You didn't hit any of the monsters behind."

The Force said, crossing his hands behind his head, whether he could have done it.

"Uh ... hey, stop somebody!"

Turning her proud expression, Erin was impatient.

"I forgot that there was no tank! Bad! This is bad! Force!"

Despite the panic, he shoots the assaulting devil one by one with thunder.

However, where the smoke cleared, there was a daemon.

The body surface was scorched in some places, but he was still alive.

There are many charred corpses in front.

They were demons.

Perhaps the great demon was protected by the demons and avoided fatal injuries.

This is, as Erin said, a very bad situation.

Still, there is no impatience for the Force next door.

on the contrary--.

"It's bad, Erin. I'm a man who keeps the promise once decided.

I was hitting the floor with regret.

It is acting in any way. I'm joking.

"Because you don't have to show a man in such a place! @ Because it is disqualified as a man to abandon a pinch girl!"

Erin handles the monsters lightly, despite the fact that it is stubborn.

It looks like they are good friends, these two people.

However, Erin's efforts were in vain, and two demons approached here.

One of them is spelled and the other is-.

It was torn by the jet-black shadow.

The wings fall and the three-part fuselage slides on the ground.

It took a few seconds to understand that it was due to Jin, which was just within reach.

The shadow lands in a flowing manner and runs.

The destination is a large demon.

Draws a locus like a black snake.

The Great Demon responded immediately.

Hit the gin with a club.

It is more powerful to beat than to beat.

Jin changes the black dagger he holds in his right hand to the other hand and easily parrys it.

As if the onomatopoeic sound is appropriate.

"Now, did Jin-san's dagger move ...?"

It moved. surely. Not an illusion. The dagger blade moved.

Unintelligible sight unintentionally leaks questions.

The Force next door answered with a laugh.

"It's his skill. He has the power to change the shape of a substance made of minerals called [shape change, minerals]. With that, Jin can freely control the dagger and fight."

"Is that possible?"

Shape change skills are excellent skills for jobs related to manufacturing.

That is exactly what [shape change and minerals] can be worshiped in the blacksmithing and mining industries.

But it is said to be a skill that is not suitable for becoming an adventurer.

It's a skill that isn't very useful in battle.

While I was asking the Force, the black blade extending from Jin's right hand continued to beat the great demon, sewing through the gaps of the attack and cutting through the giant.

Jin's blade was alive.

It shows a wriggling that is more like a living thing than a living thing.

"Gin doesn't have the strong skills he has compared to me, Erin, and Neme. But he has a lot of experience, the number of steps he has taken, and the number of dead places he has buried. It can be tailored as a fighting skill.

The great demon was never weak. Still, it was a moment when I went to Jin.

Only the corpses with numerous wounds remained.

The Force said that Jin's power depended on experience, the number of venues, and the number of dead areas he had walked.

So how much experience, space, and dead space do I need to get as powerful as Jin?

I had no idea what the answer was.
