Meikyuu Toshi no Antique Shop

The Seekers are moving in long rows.

He kept quietly down the stairs.

This spiral staircase is the halfway point between the basement twelfth floor and the basement thirteenth floor of the dungeon.

It was one of the communication lines between the layers and the layers.

I wonder how much later I should go down.

I shouldn't be the only one who walks with that in mind, and Dice in 'Mouse Killer' thought as he walks mixed in a line.

"Enemy attack!!

Anger heard from far down on the pretend.

They started the fight somewhere. Beastly roars, swordplays, ground sounds, and even screams arrive.

But it stopped after a while.

Apparently, he got a kick.

I hear another voice instead.

Crying - it seemed like a pitiful, disgusting whimper.

- Oh.

Someone sighed in front of me.

He's dead.

Someone from my crew again.

◆

Reaching the lower hierarchy, there lay a giant carcass with a jump on his neck.

Big ghost.

It emits an intense rotten odor, and skin discoloration is terrible.

I didn't have to get close to confirm it. I found it many days after my death.

Nonetheless, only the thick fingertips were slightly cramped - I guess it was an undead monster, I can tell.

"Retreat me," Dice stepped forward, pushing apart the hedge that was being made right around the corner.

"Wake up! Hey...... stay awake!

There was a young man and a girl crying about it as she was falling down with a lot of blood.

An old man in priestly clothing nearby shook his head, so I knew that he had already run out.

It's a mourning ground.

How many times has this happened?

It's not something I can tame no matter how much I see it.

I pretended I didn't see it and wanted to walk away, but his position didn't let me.

The union has given me a position that I don't want to do if it's not a pattern.

I had to do my job in full.

"I'm sorry, but let me check, he's dead, isn't he?

"... yeah," the old monk nodded powerlessly.

"Then there must be something to do."

She was listening to the conversation, the girl looked up and I'm sure she'd stare at this one.

"No, you can't. He hasn't just died. If you resuscitate, you might come back to life!

But even as a dice, you can't pull it off.

Tragedy will continue to happen again and again if we are not flushed by emotions and momentum to do what needs to be done.

"No. Higher monks like 'Resurrection' can be used are moving further. We won't be able to afford to bring them in anymore."

Soon, the youth will get up.

It should move out flat as if I'd just been asleep until earlier.

But it was never because I breathed back.

I just became an undead monster.

And you'll be attacked by the people nearby, trying to get more company.

That's because of the Hundred Nights - a phenomenon that has been happening in this dungeon for several years now, with no dead left to become an undead monster.

So if the dead came out here, they needed to be cremated or decapitated.

◆

In the end, the body was burned by a girl in witchcraft.

Sitting on the spot, she stares blindly at the still burning flames.

Once we've picked up the remains, we have to move on again.

But I've already broken her heart. You won't be able to move on any further, Dice thought.

"If it looks like we're going back to earth, I'll give you a refrain on the map. If we follow that path, we'll be able to follow a path of low traps and monsters."

Unfortunately, we cannot assign other personnel to escorts.

On the way to this harsh underground fourteenth floor, there are already more than a hundred deserters out there. From now on, we had to make the best of securing numbers, considering we were going to fight against the horrible things of the Expeditionary Army.

"... wah!

A girl shrugged something.

I'm going to look up at this one and I'm going to make a clear declaration in tears.

"I'll fight you! You're not running away! 'Cause this isn't the first time my people have died! That's when I cried and crushed my buddy's head with a battle stick! He, me, that's why we're here! I joined this crusade to do something about this hundred nights trip!

"... I get it."

Then there will be nothing to say.

After completing the cremation promptly and recovering the remains, we will have to hurry to catch up with the main unit.

The fourteenth basement floor was almost there.

◆

"... that's the worst picnic you've ever had"

Dice looks out into the wilderness with a liquor bottle in his hand.

This fourteenth basement is actually the first revisit in years.

Same killing landscape. 'The ancient battlefield (Valhalla)' is a well said one, with only dry soil and rocks, old swords stabbing instead of tomb marks, and arrows.

A lot of people died in this place once.

They were those who tried to attack the dungeon by leaving it to the numbers.

But foolishly he began to break with us here, and he ended up killing each other, the undead, and now he keeps wandering somewhere in this hierarchy.

They are the culprits of a phenomenon that is not even called "Hundred Nights".

Dice peeks through her mouth as she waves the liquor bottle at hand.

The contents don't even seem to be left like this anymore.

When I think this could be the last booze, I hesitate to put my mouth on it.

If it is a long journey to the fourteenth basement floor, food, water and medicine alone will be a big luggage. I couldn't help but take a large amount of the preference.

"Well..."

"Hey, Dice."

When Dice tries to tip the liquor bottle, he is called off.

"Am I right?

It's Bruton.

From all around, a man feared by his' bullfighting (bull) 'name. Muscles from back shoulder to chest in thick armor exuberantly exuberant, bull-like body. But if you look closely, you have long lower eyelashes and rounded eyes.

Formerly the leader (leader) of a party called 'Beasthouse', he lost fourteen men here and was therefore part of the Expeditionary Army.

"The one from Pasimika says she needs to talk to you."

◆

"Uh, I just got a report from Dae-jun."

A tall woman with black crystal balls, wrapped around a robe - Pacimica.

She looked like an astrologer, but she's a magician. Crystal balls were a means of communication that had been lent by the 'union', through which they had regular communications with their headquarters on the ground.

"It's about the lift (elevator)."

……

Dice looks at the general situation in one word.

A lift station (elevator hall) exists on the tenth basement floor.

Very convenient facilities to shorten your journey to the first basement floor.

However, the path to it is now transformed into an undead nest, which is in an unusable state.

So another Seeker dispatched from the 'Union (Alliance)' was supposed to have hit the offense.

Inevitably, it also attracts attention from around.

The people here are dead and alive.

"Aren't you making good progress?

"Yes, a hungry fork has appeared."

The audience raises their voices like "Ahhh" or "Oh, come on, you're serious" or "You're done".

Dice is an undead monster I've heard of too.

It was a large monster created by countless skeletons (skeletons) stopping by, enemies like they were originally on the twentieth floor underground. Perhaps there are some armed men in separate squads, but they're too bad for each other anyway.

"Whether the lift is available or not will change our survival rate"

She's right.

If the lift is unavailable, you will start walking home from the basement on the tenth floor.

There must be a few people out there who will lose their lives.

"That's it," said Panickami, bowing away.

By the way, the party she used to belong to, The Surprise Box, no longer exists.

Because I was attacked six months ago by a bunch of Redskeletons.

Hardly surviving, she said she joined this crusade to make no further sacrifices.
