Having come near the dungeon, the Rays are unlike many adventurers along the way.

Some adventurers have a disgruntled look, while others are smiling happily.

What it meant was obvious given the place where the dungeon

(In other words, those who were able to secure the body of the monster that fell from the dungeon and those who were unable to. Or even those who were able to secure it can make quite a difference if it's goblin and oak)

When I think so while walking, Vihera, who was walking on Ray's side like that, gives me a frightened look.

For Vihera, who wants to fight her mighty enemies, getting materials and demon stones from the corpse of a monster that she didn't even defeat, honestly, doesn't make her happy.

"So, we're going to the dungeon. I hope the adventurers waiting downstairs don't get in the way."

Ray gets off topic, even though he understands how Vihera looks like that.

... but I can't say that I really missed the point.

"Right. If you're the ones waiting for the monsters to fall, we're not going into the dungeon."

Marina's outfit, which I tell you about, is rarely worn trousers.

If the dungeon was on the ground, I wouldn't have mind the usual party dress.

However, there is a dungeon on the wall, and in order to enter that dungeon, it is necessary to grab onto Seto's feet and move.

If I wore the usual party dress in such a situation, the people downstairs would peek at my underwear.

Whatever Ray might see, Marina, who's not going to show up like that to another man, wore her unacceptable trousers.

"Well, I know who we are if we're adventurers, and the kind of idiots that get involved..."

He won't be there. That's what I tried to say, Ray, but seeing some adventurers approaching the Rays, I couldn't make it to the end.

"Whoa, you guys are about to try a dungeon, aren't you?

"Oh, yeah, but. You got something for me?

That's not what I gave back to the guys, Ray... but Lew.

Ray's appearance determined that he was likely to be insulted by the men, and it was only when he saw it that Relieu came forward who could create a ranking force.

Seeing such a reliew, the men stopped moving as surprised for a moment... but the next moment, the leading man opens his mouth again.

"Right. Good luck with that."

"... heh. I thought they were gonna tell me not to attack the dungeon."

"Well, if you say you don't feel that way, you're lying"

He was the man who said that, but there's no such look on his face as a shame.

The man keeps his word as he turns his gaze to the dungeon he can still see from here.

"But I can see what happens if the dungeon keeps growing like this.... Goltz can't afford to do it as a labyrinth city."

Several labyrinth cities in the Kingdom of Mireana.

To a certain extent, it is difficult to establish it as a labyrinth city, naturally.

At least not least, the man who talked to Lelew understood that it was impossible to do it as a labyrinth city in the abilities of the adventurers in the Goltz.

And more than impossible to do as a labyrinth city, the dungeon needs to attack while it hasn't grown that far yet.

Now it's not always the case that monsters like Goblin are falling out of the dungeon and dying on their own.

In fact, yesterday a bird monster named Yellowbird came out of the dungeon.

Even if you look at that, the biggest thing is that there are still those who oppose attacking the dungeon because they can still make money easily in the present situation.

There are not so many people who take it that way, naturally, but there is no one at all.

Fortunately, the person I've spoken to is not one of them.

"I mean, it is.... Well, I just wanted to say good luck."

That's what a man tells you to look a little lit up.

I also thought that Lelew, who saw such a man, might have said that because he came out, but as far as what the man looks like now, it doesn't look that way.

"Right. Let me thank you for that word of support.... so we're going to head to the dungeon, okay?

"Oh, a dungeon, please"

That's what I said, and the men I've talked to leave as they are.

"I thought I'd get tangled up."

Where I can no longer see the men like that, Ray squeals.

Given the pattern so far, most of these times were involved.

That's why I thought it might be the same this time... but as a result, Ray's predictions went out of his mind.

"Well, if there's a dungeon, it must be natural for someone to think so. Like I was saying, some of them might think about turning the Goltz into a labyrinth city... but given the current state of the Goltz, I think it's a minority"

As a matter of course, a lot of power is needed to create a labyrinth city.

Doing that in a country like Goltz is not impossible...... but difficult.

(Well, we're talking about this being a territory ruled by a neutral nobleman, so if Gilm wasn't under construction or something, maybe... maybe it was really possible.)

Even while you're thinking that way, the cliff gradually approaches.

There are also a few adventurers nearby who are dismantling monsters, but if such people see the Rays, they will naturally take their gaze away from you.

Most importantly, there is a ceto that exceeds three meters in length, so it is impossible not to notice the presence of such a ceto even if you concentrate on dismantling the monster.

If you seem to focus too much on dismantling and neglect the perimeter vigilance, that would be the hard part to do as an adventurer.

Most importantly, the Rays don't seem to care about their gaze, and they arrive directly below the cliff.

"Well, finally, it's a dungeon offense. You're ready, right?

Everyone nods at Ray's words asking so as he strokes Seto.

Among other things, it would be Beaune who has a particular mood even without changing his expression.

For Bühne, a bandit, a dungeon is a place where he should show off his main line.

... Although Bühne may not be better suited for things like exploring dungeons than being a bandit specializing in combat.

Nevertheless, only Bühne currently possesses the skills of a bandit among the Rays.

And even though I specialize in combat, that doesn't make me less capable of being another bandit.

(If it's a game or something, it's common that other abilities are lower if you specialize in combat or something. This place is real.)

With that in mind, Ray opens his mouth toward Seto, watching each one get ready.

"Well, first I'll get in the dungeon on Ceto, then I'll make sure it's safe. Then grab me by the ceto and come in.... okay?

"If that's what this party leader Ray says, I don't mind... okay? That's what I thought, normally, when people hire people like me to do that first."

"You can't possibly use an alias adventurer deposited by Master Dusker like that. And..."

"And?"

Lelew, questioning Ray, who cut the word along the way, asks, but Ray shakes his neck sideways without saying anything in particular about it.

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I've been acting with Lew and I know he's someone I can trust, but I still think I'd like to go on my own when this happens. It's a dungeon no one's ever been in."

Seeing Ray's face revealing so much curiosity, Lew decided to say nothing more.

... No, I'm right that Relieu can't say anything anymore, either.

At the same time, you can't deny that Lew is attracted to the word "dungeon," Ray said, "no one's ever been in it."

"Bye, Seto, please"

"Gru!"

Seto rattles at Ray's words, running with Ray on his back as he is, wings flapping.

Exactly as the expression ran up the sky was correct, Seto arrived instantly to the entrance to the dungeon.

And from above Seto's back, where he stopped moving, Ray descends.

Besides, instead of jumping straight into the dungeon, kicking in the air using Slapenil's shoes along the way... that's what I'm trying to do whenever a monster comes out of the dungeon.

The only thing in my hand is the spear of dusk because it's not the usual death size and I haven't yet figured out how wide it is in the dungeon.

Ray, who enters the dungeon with his dusk spear in his hand, quickly looks around… not until he realizes the presence that strikes at him.

Almost unconsciously, Ray pierces the opponent who has attacked the spear of dusk.

"Gyoga!?

It was Goblin who held down the pierced torso and screamed.

The goblin pierced through his belly falls straight to the floor...... the next moment, he is stepped on by another goblin that was approaching from behind it.

Sometimes it was a goblin for those who stepped on it, and those who stepped on it didn't until they were fatally injured.

But that wouldn't make a big difference, beyond the fact that it's already fatal at the point of being pierced through the abdomen.

Neither did Ray seem particularly concerned about the fallen goblin by holding his abdomen down, and he stuck his spear out again toward the goblin that had hit him from behind it.

The speed of that spear can't be manipulated by the extent of the goblin… it traces the same fate as the first goblin pierced through the torso.

Ray, who defeated the two goblins he attacked, looks around again without breaking his guard.

But there are no monsters approaching other than those two, so I finally put down the spear I was standing on.

"Had I been late enough to come for a few more seconds, would this goblin have fallen to the ground too?... I'm pretty sure you were lucky."

If this is supposed to mean goblins coming down from overhead, etc. when you're about to enter the dungeon, then it's definitely the Rays who are in trouble with that.

It is also possible that he was damaged by the very motivation to challenge the dungeon.

(No, was that the best choice you could make if you tried it as a dungeon? Well, it's subtle if you're willing to dungeon)

If the depletion of the two goblins could have cut the motivation of the Rays, that would certainly be of great benefit.

Most of all, as Ray said himself, I don't know if the dungeon has his own will.

That hasn't happened in the dungeons Ray has dived into before, even if it's less, but if we cut off the nucleus of the dungeons, we've definitely acquired and empowered our terrain manipulation skills.

In other words, the nucleus of the dungeon and the demon stone are similar... given that the monster has his own will, the possibility that the dungeon has his own can never be denied either.

"Anyway, looks like there's nothing wrong with that goblin"

Determining there is no danger around him, Ray sees Seto waiting outside the dungeon.

Seto, watching Ray move to a place called Dungeon, is not particularly worried.

It was Seto who originally missed Ray, but it also means that he was with Ray for a long time and that's all he knows about the strength of Ray.

More than that, that's what Ray had no idea what would happen if he dived into the dungeon on his own.

... Well, if the monster that comes out is a high-ranking monster, the story may have been somewhat different, but so far only Goblin, Cobolt, and Oak have been confirmed in this dungeon... and yesterday's Yellowbird.

Above and beyond that, it is obvious that it is difficult to even scratch one scratch on Ray even if it strikes in a group.

"Seto, bring the others. I'm on guard in the dungeons here, just in case."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto rings when he understands, descending to the ground.

Ray, who dropped off such a ceto, looked around again... again convinced that this was a dungeon, not a cave.
