Legend

To proceed as Bühne discovers and disarms the trap in the cave, for a few hours. In the meantime, Büne had acted without any interruption of concentration, but by the time he arrived at the end of that cave, Büne had naturally drained considerably.

If the Rays were a normal party, that would not have been strange to conclude our exploration on this occasion today and decide to make it a camp.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a hostile monster in this cave that was hidden.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with safety when it comes to camping.

Most importantly, it's a different story whether or not you're willing to camp in a cave where traps were massively set up.

Either way, in the case of the Rays, he didn't seem to care about that at all, and he was exploring where he left the cave.

But I guess that's natural, too. Down a staircase in the woods, it was like a space made through a rock, knocking down a rock plant there - not a monster, so I don't know if the expression knock it down is appropriate - so I found a hidden door that was in that space and proceeded through the cave that continues from there.

I didn't know what the intent was, but I kept going as I unlocked the massive trap there... that was how it spread to where I arrived, because it was a lake that should also be called an underground lake.

"I guess the only reason the water is glowing is because of that kind of moss growing in the water. It's the kind I've never seen either."

The marina squeaks as she looks inside the underground lake.

As the saying goes, there are various kinds of light in the underground lake, as if it were illumination, red or blue, yellow or green…

It's very different from the lake that comes to mind in the image of an underground lake.

Most of all, it was lucky for the Rays that the moss shining in the lake and the moss attached to the cave walls were the source of light.

Had it not been for the seeds of moss, perhaps this would have been covered in darkness.

In that sense, the colorful moss present in the water was definitely a very appreciated substitute.

"You're following me from the cave earlier, and the rocks don't shine here.... I'm not familiar with it because I don't have that much experience diving into a dungeon. Hey, is this what every dungeon feels like?

Ray shakes his neck to the side to Lew, who asks looking over an underground lake of considerable size.

"The dungeons are very different from one another. Some places like this, others don't. For once, as far as I know, there was no place without a light source in the dungeon, so you wouldn't have to worry about that area."

"... very convenient."

"Don't think so, but ask the nucleus of the dungeon for a detailed explanation. You don't even know if I ask you."

Ray, who answers that to Lew, has in fact destroyed the nucleus of the dungeon by Death Size several times before.

As a result, Death Size remembers the skill of terrain manipulation.

It's an impossible story, but if Lew knew what was going on around there, he would definitely have gotten into Ray's story.

"Whatever that is...... you end up stopping at this underground lake? Because I think we need to figure out what we're going to do."

Vihera squeaks as she looks around the basement lake.

In fact, as the saying goes, we've come this far around the corner, because if this is the end of the line, we can only end up going back.

Of course it's probably certain that this underground lake means something.

Still, given the current situation, it didn't seem like there was anything here.

"If I were to look into it, it would still be that underground lake"

To the words of Vihella, Elaine groans looking at the underground lake colored by various lights.

At the end of such Elaine's gaze, she had found a fish figure in the lake like Ray had never seen before.

"Oh, you have fish in these underground lakes, too.... Can you eat?

For Ray, I guess fish is still a perception of food.

But I still didn't swear I could eat it, because this is the underground lake.

If this is a river, a sea, a swamp, a pond… or a lake, or a normal lake on the ground, I would have assured you that you could eat it.

(Well, I don't think there's anything you can't eat... I'm pretty sure it didn't look very tasty)

In an instant, that fish Ray saw seemed to have a curved body somewhere, with no scales, like catfish, eels, or holes.

All those fish, of course, are very tasty.

But if you ask me if the fish in this underground lake are delicious because they are similar... honestly, Ray is not sure.

"Ray? What's going on?

"No, this underground lake. It's like there's a fish. I was just wondering if it would taste good."

Marina turns a slight glance at Ray's words.

It won't be the kind of time I'm thinking about it now, he said.

It's been a long time since I went down the stairs in the woods.

In other words, if we were to return from here, it would naturally take a reasonable amount of time.

However, it shouldn't have taken as long as it would have taken to get here, as all the traps in the cave had been disarmed by Büne.

"Hmm. I don't know about Ray's words, but I'm pretty sure there's probably something more here than there's such a thing as an underground lake. I think so...... what do you say?

Elaine squeaks as she looks around to see if there's anything suspicious.

In fact, a cave leading to this underground lake was hidden by a hidden door.

More than that, I'm pretty sure there's some kind of secret to this underground lake.

The question is what kind of secret it is...... and I guess so.

"This is how there's obviously an underground lake, so I'm pretty sure there's definitely something in the underground lake,"

"I guess. Otherwise, I don't even know why I bothered to hide the path that leads to this underground lake."

Marina squeaks and gazes at the underground lake as she looks.

The gaze there is not like enjoying illumination in the water until earlier, but rather thinking about what is here and how to solve the mystery that is here.

"In the first place, I've never tried an underground lake... but is it normal about this size?

Ray squeaks as he looks at the underground lake that is widening at the end of his gaze.

The size of the underground lake that is spreading in front of you is quite wide.

(If you're in Japan, would you describe one Tokyo dome or something like that?... I don't know why it makes the standard of breadth a Tokyo dome, and I've never been to a Tokyo dome in the first place, so I don't know how wide it is, so I don't know if it's an expression)

It was a thought-provoking ray to the Tokyo Dome...... unexpectedly, I see ripples created on the water around the middle of the underground lake.

I saw that, naturally, as did those other than Ray, and everyone's gaze was directed into the lake.

So… eventually, one animal… or a monster shows up, as if breaking its surface.

But that stretched part... that's the part that, as far as the elongated part was concerned, didn't know how much of the rest was in the water.

"Snake?"

Who was the one who murmured so?

In fact, if you only looked at the part that was out of the water, it looked like it deserved to be called a snake.

... Most of all, if you think of the length of five meters just for being out of the water, it would be hard to keep that snake with a regular snake... that would be the one you would often see outside.

And in the water, I could see a long body, anaerobic just a little look at it.

Does that snake's throat part seem to be moving because there's a fish or something there?

Ray didn't even know that, but he still definitely does...

"Strong, huh?"

Lelew squeaks next to Ray.

Yes, Lew felt the strength that Ray felt from that snake again.

No, Lew wasn't the only one who felt that.

Everyone on this occasion...... in the sense of pure combat technology, even Büne, one step or more inferior, was feeling the strength of a serpent with a face out of the water.

"What do you think?

It was a short word of doubt that came out of Ray's mouth, but that was enough to pass on to those who were here.

"Boss Monster...... isn't it? As far as I can tell, it seems to be quite strong."

"I know that's what you're trying to say, but then where is the nucleus of the dungeon?... the bottom of the lake or something?

"Compared to a silver lion, don't feel like you can still handle it"

Are you listening to Ray or not?

Elaine squeaks as she thinks of the strength of the silver lion she fought before.

A silver lion who fought to help Vihera.

Its strength was just as intense as it deserved to be called the Rank S Monster.

It is easy to predict that Seto, who uses various skills, is treated as a monster equivalent to Rank S by the fact that rare species, but if such Seto fought the Silver Lion one-on-one, the Silver Lion would almost certainly win.

That's all the strength the silver lion had.

Compared to such a silver lion, the giant snake that is now facedown from the underground lake does not seem stronger than a silver lion, even if it is a mighty enemy.

That's why I don't think Elaine is strong when she sees a snake, but there was no sense of despair that she would never win.

(Most importantly, it's the underground lake where the snake is. Unlike silver lions, we need to get them outside)

Even when she went to the ocean the other day, Elaine sees Ray struggling with a monster in the ocean.

Even though there's an overwhelming difference in strength that Ray would win if he fought normally.

... Most importantly, Ray was fighting a monster to make it food, so he couldn't possibly make it a piece of wood dust, so he needed to be able to eat it properly and defeat it.

I also understand that Elaine has a terrible difficulty fighting opponents in the water because she also remembers struggling quite a bit when she fought Kraken before.

"What do we do? You're gonna fight? We're gonna fight, right?

The first person to open his mouth while everyone uttered no words to the strength of the serpent was Vihella, as expected.

If I tried to make Vihera prefer to fight a strong opponent, it would have been more impossible to suppress my willingness to fight against that giant snake that I could see as a strong man at a glance.

He also sometimes did not take part in the battle against the Silver Lion in the case of Vihela, who wanted to fight against the more powerful monsters.

To the extent that I can show you that I can miss such a great opportunity.

But... some people disagree with the words of Vihera like that.

"Do we need to fight? So far, there's no way he's going to get his hands on us, and I don't think he's going to have to fight."

That's what I said, Lew.

If you try to be a reliever that's coming with you in the sense of the support of the Rays, if you're a monster around like a goblin, you still want to be absolutely spared the fact that you're dealing with a strong enemy like a snake in this lake.

In the first place, this dungeon would have just been made, and even if it was the boss protecting the nucleus of the dungeon, it would have been a pretty weak monster...

But if you actually go inside this dungeon, the ground floor has one Y-shaped road as expected to some extent - although there was an unintelligible presence of rock plants - it was a dungeon, but if you go upstairs, it was a vast forest there.

Not very much, but it was an invisible substitute for a freshly made dungeon.

And down the stairs that were in the woods, there is a vast space, where there are a large number of the same rocky plants that existed on the ground floor… it was this underground lake that eventually arrived.

The giant snake currently in front of the Reliws is not the kind of person in the dungeon that is very, but just made.

That's what it seemed like Lelew could really fight and finally win...... that much power.

That's why I suggested that I don't have to fight such opponents... hate and such reasoning didn't work for the Rays.

Vihera wants to fight strong enemies... and most importantly, Ray wants the demon stone of an unknown monster.

It is enhanced by Warcraft, so no matter how many unknown monster demon stones there are, it is not enough.

And most importantly...

"Look, Lew."

That's what Ray pointed to, the bottom of the underground lake.

Normally, you won't be able to see such a bottom in the end, but this lake is full of illuminated moss.

Also, isn't the water normal... the bottom of the underground lake of considerable depth could be seen well.

Yes, the nucleus of a dungeon at the bottom of an underground lake and even thought existed.
