Snake God

Moving on to the door, there was a staircase leading down there.

"Stairs? Dungeons are not just one level..."

[Endless Forest of Sorrow and Love] and the Dungeons of the Black Dragon God were only on one level, so I thought it was all about dungeons.

"Right. The dungeon on the flat ground ends roughly on one level, but it can be as if it were a maze of it. Conversely, if the dungeon continues to the lower level, the path itself is simple, but the further down it goes, the stronger the demon tends to become."

"I see..."

I'm convinced I heard Luis explain, and I'm going to go down for now.

Down the stairs, it was a strange sight that was spreading beyond.

"Huh!?"

Oh, my God, there's a sky in the dungeon, and the sun is floating.

Moreover, the meadows spread on one side of the perimeter, and trees grew everywhere, which I don't think is very much a dungeon in the cave.

"Wow! It was a cave just now, and you look like you're out there!

"...... hmm. Picnic day?"

"Sandwich!?"

It's just that apart from me, which is purely surprising, Salia and the others were almost. Is this something wrong with me?

Then Routier seemed to think the same thing as me, and asked as she opened her eyes and looked around her.

"I'm new to the dungeon itself, but is this normal?

"Hmm...... at least I haven't been through this. How is Mr. Lewis?

"... if it's a cave-shaped dungeon, it's a rock-walled dungeon, or some of it's like an underground lake, but this is the first time I've seen a dungeon with the same landscape completely outside like this"

Apparently, this dungeon is also heterogeneous to the Lewis.

... So did you when you said that Routier would show signs of sadness, but what the hell is this dungeon?

To a strange dungeon we proceed with a little vigilance.

Then I ran into the first demon on this floor.

"Brrrrrrrrrrrr......"

"That's..."

It was a giant cow who showed up.

I can tell that black fur and sharp, big horns are bullfighting, not dairy cows.

When the cow realized we existed, he started kicking the ground on the spot with a little vigilance.

"Uh..." Impact Bull, "level 630... not as strong as Gojo Snake, but you're strong enough"

Confirming names and such with the skills of "Advanced Appraisal" activated "Full Language Understanding" again, as when Mr. Bear did.

'I am the wind... yes, the black lightning that runs through this earth...! He'll knock you down, like an obstacle standing in front of me!

Clarify me if it's wind or lightning.

Well, the demons here are strangely strong habits! Is this dungeon special, or are other demons too......

When I think about that, Lune stands relative to the bullfight.

"Lord. Leave this place to me. I am the knight and servant of the Lord. If only I could help the Lord at all......!

"... that cow actually looks delicious, doesn't it?

"That's right! Oliga!?"

"You don't deny it."

I thought you wanted to fight, too, because the Lutherans fought all the time.

With Lurne heading to the bullfight, he also admitted that the bullfight was Lurne's enemy.

'Hum...... nice to stand in front of this me! Come on, can you tell me how fast I...'

"Hum!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!?"

It was an instant kill.

When Lune stuffed the distance to the bullfighting nostrils in an instant, he slammed a spinning kick into his torso.

The bullfighting bounces the ground several times and falls down as it is.

"Oh, I... flashed... then I didn't..."

Leaving those words behind, bullfighting becomes a particle of light and disappears. Besides, it's turning into flash this time. Aren't you going to be clear until the end?

Then there fell a chunk of meat carefully wrapped in leaves.

"Hung. The cow flavor, before me...... meat uuuuuuuuuuu!

"No, if you're gonna kick it, kick it to the end!

Lurne, who was floating in Doya's face. When I found the meat I would have dropped, I immediately went to pick it up. I mean, you're a cow, but you're a robot, right?

"Nevertheless...... this is my first drop item to come to this dungeon, is this what it was originally like?

I have 'Complete Dismantling' skills so I definitely get drop items, but I honestly didn't know how well the others were established.

"Right...... depending on the person, isn't it normal the number of fights on the road, except for the [Monster House] demons?

"Hmm? Is [Monster House] 's demon any different?

"Yeah. They say you can't get anything but experience from [Monster House] demons because everything is a trap."

"By the way, the drop item is a big part of our luck."

Lewis and Al explained that I somehow found out about the drop item.

Well, in my case, even [Monster House] demons get items and skills.

While we were having such a conversation, Lune picked up the meat, and whoever was dripping was cheeky.

"Nwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Hey, idiot, don't. Though you'll be hungry.

When I was stunned by how Lune was doing, my 'world eye' skills reacted to the pretense.

That's right near Lune, but I can't see him.

Unexpectedly twisting her neck, Oliga shouted, realizing the signs, just like me.

…… Eater, it's dangerous!

"No?"

Then a whole snake emerged from the ground.

The snake looks like a cobra, but big enough to swallow us whole.

When I appraised him with surprise that I hadn't noticed such a presence until just now, I saw the name and was convinced.

"Undead Hyde Snake LV: 622"

Undead.

I mean, he's already dead.

That's why I didn't even notice my acquired technique of exploring life force, and I guess I was delayed in finding it in the 'world eye' because I'm as clever at hiding as Hyde.

Anyway, when a serpent like that appears right next to Lune, he tries to swallow Lune whole as it is.

"Nah!? Wah, I like to eat but I don't want to be eaten!

"Sounds like a lot of room in this situation!?"

Anyway, when I tried to move to help, what a lootier hit the serpent with a black flame out of his palm.

"Routier?"

"I watched everyone and I wanted to fight too. Not only will you protect me, but I'll be safe if I get stronger myself."

"I see..."

Sure, Routier's right, and he's gonna protect Routier, including me, but nothing ever exists.

Then it would be a good thing that Routier gets stronger to reduce the danger at all.

The serpent, attacked from another direction, immediately changed its target to Routier, but Routier casts his magic again before approaching.

"'The Hand of the Demon King'"

It was a giant hand made of pitch-black flames.

When the black flaming hand appears behind the router, it is swung down with a serpent hanging as it is.

And the serpent, which was mutilated by the hands of a black flame, was burned out as it was.

"... yeah. Haven't used it in a while but it worked"

"Wow! That's cool now! Is that magic, too?

When Salia glistened her eyes and asked Routier, Routier answered without even hiding it.

"Yes. Special magic inherited by beings who are we [the Demon King]"

"Huh."

I had a bad feeling about Lutya's words.

Then...

"I have mastered [Magic of the Magic King]"

I did it...!

Because I'm not even a demon king!? I know!? It's my body!

It's weird at the point where you can use the [Holy Attribute Magic] of the Braves, but on top of that, if you remember [Magic King], where am I supposed to go!

You don't know exactly what it means to be a brave man and a demon king!

When I held my head unexpectedly to an unexpected event, Routier, who noticed it, asked me strangely.

"? Makichi, what's wrong?

"... Um... [Magic King] is ready for me to use, too... the..."

"Eh."

When I answer honestly by accident, they all end up dead.

And the most sane returned router gave me a serious look.

"Makichi is a demon?

"I'm human. Uh-huh! I don't care how you look at me from anywhere. I'm human. Uh-huh!

I've been starting to suspect myself lately but I want to think I'm human...!

Then Al asked as he pulled his face.

"I don't know... Makichi was originally a man of another world, but he said he wasn't a brave man... and I'm not saying [Holy Attribute Magic] can be used either...?

"………………………… can be used"

"Are you really human?"

"Stop!

Because that's what I think best, that!

We all know that!? It says' man 'can be both a god and a demon king!? What a shitty species! It's Human!

With me moaning so much, Lune and Luise had their eyes shining.

"That's the Lord! After all, the Lord deserves to destroy this world!

"Destroying presupposes!? I wouldn't do that!?"

"I am happy to be a mentor to someone like my master... Master, let me leave my life with you"

"Lewis is heavy! Besides, the person to be deposited is not the Kingdom of Wimbledon!?"

Naturally, I have the power to protect my loved ones.

But you think it's too much power to be told to destroy the world! You're turning off all your loved ones!

Salia watched our exchange with a gentle laugh.

"Makichi is amazing! Right, Oliga?

"...... hmm. Makichi, I know your brother is amazing, but nothing changes more than that, Salia. Your sister is amazing, too."

"Oh? Hehe, thanks!

"... maybe even more amazing than Makichi's brother..."

It was me who was mentally beaten down for a while, but eventually I get back on my feet and start exploring again.

Earlier it was Lune who was stuck by surprise, but he's kicking down another 'undead hide snake' that attacked him on the road.

In addition to "Impact Bull," there have also been other serpents like "Night Snake" and "General Snake" worn as if they were human wearing armor......

"Hey, isn't there a lot of serpentine demons in this dungeon?

"Right...... maybe that's just what this hierarchy is made of, but I don't feel like that's why I'm looking at that 'impact bull' or anything like that"

In the end, it could be my mistake, or maybe this dungeon itself is something about 'snakes'.

Nevertheless, I don't even know its authenticity until I get to the bottom.

As we proceeded through a meadow that I didn't think was in the cave, we eventually reached one giant lake.

"Oh, a lake..."

"If the landscape here is a cave on a rock wall, I thought it was an underground lake..."

Al is right, it really doesn't look like an underground lake because this place is a meadow, and it has a strong impression of being somewhat of a lake on the side of the street.

Then I noticed what Salia was peering into as she approached the lake.

"Ah, Makichi! Hey, come here!

"Hmm? What's up?

"Isn't that the entrance to the stairs leading down to the lower level?

The lake was very clear and could be seen to the bottom of the lake.

For this reason, we can also see what looks like a staircase where Salia has instructed us.

The staircase itself was assimilated to the floor, and now the entrance to that staircase was closed by a thick door.

"That's true... well, stairs in the lake... what are you going to do with this? We have to open that door. We can't go down there, but it's a lake, so there's a limit to diving..."

"Hey, Makichi. Look at that."

"Huh?"

If you're worried about looking at the door at the bottom of the lake, Al now points to another.

If I looked in that direction, there was a white snake staring at this one that made me feel sacred somewhere.

"Oh, what's that?

"Come on? I don't feel like hostility at the moment, but aren't you the boss of the hierarchy here?

Al is right, beautiful pure white scales and blue eyed snakes don't feel the elements of hostility or harmfulness of what is staring at us.

And I couldn't capture the white snake, which I thought was quite the size at a distance that I could see, with the 'world eye'.

White snakes accidentally spoke as they were haunting their heads with two things: a mysterious white snake and a door.

"Can the Lord save the poor children who are ahead?

"Huh?"

The voices seem to be heard by everyone, including me, and Salia and the others are astonished.

However, I was suddenly told the same thing, but above all, I was concerned about the content of the word.

"Saving the poor child... what do you mean?

'It means as it is. Can you save a poor child who was not blessed to be born and has been sealed in this land for more than a thousand years?

"Se, a thousand years!?"

I don't know the details, but it seems that the beings who are asking if the white snake in front of them can be saved have been sealed in the dungeon for over a thousand years.

... At first, all of a sudden, I was just asked to make sure that the entrance to one dungeon was newly made near the school and not used as a route of entry for another country, but it seems to be a dungeon more drastic than I expected.

But we would have been right to come and see Mr. Berna in terms of making sure the students weren't in danger.

Because all the demons in this dungeon are at more than that level, whereas Mr. Barna and Lewis are beyond level 500, which is the point of human arrival.

An important dungeon so far would have to be investigated even more closely.

Still I don't know if I can save what this white snake says......

"... to be honest, I don't know if I can save the kid you're talking about. I don't have any information. But we also have a reason to move on to this dungeon."

White Snake, who was listening closely to my words, laughed gently.

'Hum...... If I said I could save you for no reason, I'd erase you here, but I can like those who answer honestly'

If I had said the right thing, would they have turned it off? Is it dangerous?

I accidentally used Advanced Appraisal for the white snake in front of me.

"Serpent God Lv: 5500"

High level!? Hey! And God!?

Even the Black Dragon God had a level of 5,000, but the white snake in front of him - the Snake God was more than that.

Snake God probably realizes he's been appraised, but he hasn't said anything about it.

'Aside from whether the Lord can save [that child], it seems worth just entrusting. However, the demons ahead become more powerful than this hierarchy. Still moving on?

"... because we have to move on."

When I said that in a bitter laugh, the Snake God deepened his grin.

"Fine. However, there are conditions to open the door at the bottom of this lake '

"Conditions?"

"Turn off all the water in this lake"

"Heh!? water from this lake!?"

Surprised by the unexpected conditions, Snake God continued.

'Yes, everything. Whatever the means, of course.... Well, what do we do?

I don't care what they say we do...

I looked at Salia and the others.

The most realistic would be to use magic.

Nevertheless, there is no magic in existing magic that wipes out all the water.

Hmmm... the dark attribute magic 'Magic Hall' can absorb everything if it's magic, and if you make magic similar to that one...

Lune raised her hand as she was trying to somehow extinguish the water that way.

"Um..."

"Hmm? What's up?

"Lord, you just have to get rid of that water, right?

"Huh? Ah, oh. Yes, but..."

"Can I do it?

"Yes!?"

Everyone, including me, was surprised by the unexpected offer.

"Lulu, Lulune. Were you able to use magic?

"No, I can't use it"

"Then how..."

"I'll drink."

"Drink MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!?"

We opened our eyes to an answer that went further up the expected diagonal.

"... eater, anything you want is too stupid..."

"Hey, what?!?"

"No, I think so, too."

"To the Lord!?"

'Cause you're just saying you're stupid. Think about it normally. What kind of monster drinks up a lake? I can't do it either.

Lurne, who took my word for it, messed with it a little.

"Well, I don't have to say that much... I just said I was a little thirsty because I walked there and fought..."

"Are you going to drink up the lake to the point of being a little thirsty, you!

Lurne is more than me!?

"So, but I really can! Look at that!

"Huh? Oh, hey!

Lune already stood in front of the lake, even though I tried to stop him.

"Hmm? The Lord turns off the water?

"That's right. I am the knight of the Lord."

'A lot of confidence... how?

"Drink"

'What?'

"Drink up."

…………………………

The Serpent God was out of time. That's right!

The sane returned snake god gave a mockery.

'Hehe... Ha ha ha! Think about what you're going to say, you're going to drink it up!? There's a total idiot -'

"It's over."

'- What?'

"Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep!?"

If I noticed, the water was gone from the lake in front of me. No, I don't know why.

But Lurne wipes his mouth as he doesn't seem like anything.

"It tastes normal. Prepare something better if it's water with God."

When Lune told him that chilly, he came back under me.

"It's over, Lord"

"Heh!? Oh, yeah... I'm so sorry I doubted that..."

I made a serious apology.

Then Lune blushes a little and tells me at the top.

"So... so... why don't you have another eating walk with me next time...?

"Huh?"

"Yes, no! I don't care if you don't like it! If you don't like it..."

Having said that, I panicked unexpectedly because Lune's face turned into a sad look.

"Let's go! Yeah, definitely eat and walk! Nah!?"

"Ah...... yes!

Taking my word for it, Lune made his face shine.

Oliga, who was watching us interact like that, immediately says she's sorry to return to sanity.

"... foodie, sorry"

"Hmm? Well, you just have to know, if you know -"

"... the eater was more eating than I expected..."

"Are you willing to apologize?"

The Snake God sanctified us before the noise broke out.

'No, no, no! That's crazy!? What, that girl! Is the Lord really human?!?'

"No, it's Roba"

'I don't know what you mean extra. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Where did the first holiness go, the Serpent God was very disturbed.

"There was such an insane being. It was like! That's insane enough to use both [magic king magic] and [sacred attribute magic] famous as conflicting magics- '

"Oh, I can use both."

"So who are the lords? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Snake God exclaimed.

And twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twitchy twit

'Ha... ha... Become a god, it's been a long time... but I didn't know you'd still encounter events that would upset you so far...'

"You don't know what life has!

"Because of the Lord!?"

I was pissed. I can't solve it.

'Ha... that's enough. It is true, however insane, that you turned off the water in the lake. Let's open the door leading to the stairs'

That said, the blue eyes of the Serpent God lit up.

At that moment, the door at the bottom of the lake made a noise and opened.

'Come on, move on. There are even more powerful demons roaming ahead...... but I'm starting to feel wasted just worrying about watching the lords...'

"Hey, it's not funny"

'... ha. Well, lucky for the lords to be insane.' Cause that's all there is to hope for to save [her]. '

"Wouldn't you tell me that... [that kid]? And about this dungeon..."

When he asks unexpectedly because he talks strangely much, the Snake God shakes his head.

"I too am nothing but a demon bound to this land. So many secrets cannot be told. Forgive me. '

"Really..."

It's inconvenient to say God. The Black Dragon God seemed to have a lot of constraints.

If this is the God who sent me and the other brave men into this world, I don't think it's the same story.

I'm no longer available for this hierarchy for now, so when I just tried to go downstairs, the Snake God finally told me this.

'Be careful. The threat isn't dead yet.'

"Huh? What is that..."

The moment I tried to hear what it meant, the Serpent God disappeared from the spot as if it were fog.

"? What's wrong? Makoto"

"... no, it's nothing"

Looking at the sight, Salia called out to us, and once again, we headed down to the lower level.
