The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

Ha... it was a total, total noise.

After making sure Valedo and the others got out of the dungeon, we finally de-alerted.

Really, it just felt like I was challenging the dungeon.

What the hell are you doing here?

Elibel and Berk said they'd look into it, so I'll take care of it.

Anne and the Four Chiefs are being chased after a rapidly prepared dungeon for killing dragons.

Because if you leave it as it is, it affects a lot of other strata.

Especially the part about poison?

The Four Chiefs of the Forest, especially Snake Sue and Spider Turan, are very resistant to poison, so they will be active.

For some reason, I'm surprised Anne was getting more poison resistant, too.

Well, if I leave it to you, there won't be a problem.

For now, I slept because I was sleepy.

Darkening.

Good morning.

I slept well and recovered my magic.

And then I peeled again.

Lately, when you sleep after tiredness, don't peel off often.

Is that it?

When a growing child plays a lot and sleeps well, the one who grows well.

Maybe he's with me.

'Cause I've only been a dragon for about two and six months.

... but I feel like I'm living some amazing dark life, no Ryusei.

No, well, maybe I just feel that way because my previous life was a grey life.

I just want to relax and get laid, but somehow I feel like I'm making a scene around me.

No, let's not think about it.

I'm sure it's my fault.

Let's eat demon stones.

I'm peeled and hungry......... is that it?

So I noticed a change in my body.

"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I feel that the color of the epidermis and scales, which seemed earthy, is slightly diminished.

It feels like a brown color close to white. I wonder if the expression caramel color will stick better.

I didn't realize it when I peeled it, but it was changing color.

Until now, the colour has never diminished even after peeling.

What's wrong with it? Is it a cold?

I sure didn't think Elibel's record would have changed the color of the dragons, not even the dragons...?

Do you want to hear it?

That's what I thought, and I headed to Elibel's lab.

In the lab of Deep Elibel...

"Oh, Earth, good morning. It's noon."

Elibel looks here with a test bottle with purple creepy liquid in one hand.

Somehow, a skeleton in white is awesome.

When I used to make researcher-like white coats instead of robes, they wanted to like them and wear them well.

I don't know how much you liked it, it's the end of wearing it to me.

I wish I could make it myself.

Oh, Berk is down in the corner. No, are you asleep?

"Oh?"

Soon, you noticed my change.

Watch my body carefully.

Don't look too closely, though.

"... stylish?

"There's no way"

"Just kidding."

Hehe and Elibel laugh. The way the skeleton laughs is really creepy.

The blueness of the orbit is shaking suspiciously.

... Are you kidding me?

Something tells me he's been joking a lot since we went out together.

I wonder why?

'Um, you know why the color changed?

You felt like giving me an explanation, Elibel put the test bottle she had on her desk.

"" Discoloration. ”It's not a rare phenomenon. Well, I've never seen it happen in a dragon."

"Discolour?"

"It means literally. Well, mostly you refer to" body color ”and“ magic. "It's a rare phenomenon seen in the demons of the growth process, and it changes its own magic under some external influence. The phenomenon of changing the color of the body due to changes in its magic power, which can also be seen on the body surface. That's discoloration. There are a lot of individuals called abnormal individuals (irregular) who are mostly discolored."

Pepper and Elibel explain.

Boulder, it's Mr. Elipedia.

Knowledge.

With that said, I think Una said before that she had orcs of different colors on her guild quest or something.

It was pretty tough and I was happy that the rewards were higher than usual at that time.

"I mean, you've seen discoloration, too, right?

'Huh?'

Is that what happened?

Ha ha, Elibel sighs.

"It's Anne. I saw it in your memory, but she would have changed her color when she evolved into Imperial Ant, too, right?

"Oh, speaking of which,"

I did eat evolutionary demon stones and when Ann evolved, the color of my body was changing from grayish to complete black.

"It's also a phenomenon that's happened because your magic, and the quality of your magic, has changed due to external factors called evolutionary magic stones."

"Cheng Cheng Na. Hmm? Thinking about it, why did I“ discolor ”you?

"Hmm, the most I can think of is... stress, huh?

No, stress is...

It's not a lifestyle disease.

"I wonder what impact those dragon killers have had. Dungeons are influenced by powerful demons and adventurers when they break in. When you're in a class with enough magic to be affected, all you can think about is" dragon killer ”or“ silver ghost. "

Blatantly, Elibel says.

"Well, don't worry.“ Discoloration ”is not a bad thing. Rather, it's like a defensive instinct to try to be stronger. Good for you. Even if you're lazy, Dragon Earth's instincts are strengthening you on their own."

Are you trying to tell me that I'm usually lazy?

Even with my gaze on it, Elibel felt steady.

"Well, in the meantime, I want to know how magic has changed, so put your arms out."

'Oh, no. You're gonna inject again anyway, aren't you? Like a doctor!

I'm afraid of injections.

No, what hurts.

"A child! Oh, I'm two, so you're still a baby... Anyway, don't tell me what to do. Come on, give me your arm. - Oh, Anne. I've come to the right place. Help me contain this guy!

Huh!

Why at this time, Anne!?

That's what they say. I turn around unexpectedly.

- - There, there was no one there.

"Ho, busu"

Ghahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

You fooled me!

A definite feeling of stabbing in the arm. Ouch, ouch, ouch!

I want to break out, but I can't help it. The feeling of losing power - is this magic!?

If you look closely, there was a miniscule magic formation unfolding at my feet.

"Pfft, you won't be able to help, will you? Recently developed, it's called a magic reduction ceremony. Gradually, without realizing it, magic and strength are sucked away. I specially use a limit breaking ver for you. Be grateful."

I don't appreciate that!

I mean, if you made such an awesome technique, use it for a dungeon, not me!

You didn't use me as an experimental subject?

I want to think it's my fault.

Soon, the injection was over and the blood collection was over.

It hurt.

Well, if you eat Demon Stone, the wound will heal soon.

Watching Elibel resentfully, she was watching footage that was somehow reflected from a polar-colored sphere.

The footage shows something like a number or a graph.

And in the last part, it was shown as 120 layers of the final reach hierarchy.

What, this?

"Elibel, what is this footage?

"No, well, sort of. I used the pseudo-labyrinth nucleus, Gizzie, to simulate if I, as commander of the army, challenged this dungeon. The size of the army is the same as the Borhelic army during this time, and if I command it, I wonder if I can attack this dungeon."

Wow, can you simulate that?

"Uh, so what's the result?

"In conclusion, it is not possible to attack"

"Ho..."

Even the wise man's tactics said he couldn't.

"It's taking too long.... I can't maintain the barracks. Unlike us, adventurers don't have the means to make shortcuts in this dungeon. Maybe, no matter how hard you try, you're out of breath around the hundred layers."

Sure, there's nothing I can do without food.

The demons in the dungeons are mostly golems, and the means of subsistence in the dungeons are almost non-existent for the humans.

Assuming the humans bring in some means of subsistence, we'll go ahead and crush them, too.

What, my dungeon is awesome.

Don't you think you can be relieved?

"Well, I have some concerns. Just fix it one by one and you'll be fine. The superficial layer has been activated and the access of people has improved, and as before, it will not be destroyed without question."

Certainly.

The entrance part of the deal has spread a lot, and each country will have understood the convenience of this dungeon, precisely the transfer gate.

As before, “dungeon destruction” should not be used without question.

Well, even if it was used, I have a “countermeasure” in place.

"I haven't been able to find out yet about the purpose of dragon killings and silver ghosts, but you'll see in that. In the future, gathering information on the ground will be the main activity, beyond what is being done inside the dungeon."

"Gathering information on the ground..."

Then it's time for Una and Dos.

Birds, cat shapes, and other animal shapes that can get into town are out there, but that's a little uncomfortable.

......... should it be time to increase the number of person-shaped golem homunculus?

I have peeled and the ingredients have been enriched.

I used to make too many animal types, so I weighed myself down, but since there is more activity on the ground, it is possible that the eels alone will not be able to get around.

I don't want to go out there.

As I was thinking, I noticed that Elibel was looking at me jizzily.

"By the way, Earth. Aren't you going outside again? Sometimes, the outside air..."

"None."

Instant answer.

"... may I use the possession bill?

"Shit."

Unstoppable rejection.

In the first place, there's no reason for me to go outside!

If you want information, Una and Doss will do it for you.

"Ha... well, that's good........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Uh, you, what did you just say?

I didn't hear the last part, but I think I heard something horrible.

"It's nothing. Berk, wake up! I'm gonna start my next experiment."

"- Ha!? Oh, Master Elibel? Kanimisoniso's pervert attacked Noon-"

"Don't fall asleep! Wake up!

Pampan and Elibel slap Berk on the cheek.

Sounds painful.

Yeah. Let's retreat before we get caught up in the experiment.

I just left Elibel's lab behind.

'Well, let's go back to the bedroom for now...'

There's got to still be some peeled skin over there, and I'm gonna use that array to make Una's brother or sister.

What would you like?

Why don't you ask the three of us?

All three of us are still inside the dungeon at this hour.

I try to skip a thought call.

"- Is that it?"

Before sending out the thought call, something fuzzy came into my eyes.

The aisle.

Heading into my bedroom, there was an unfamiliar passage on that wall.

It's big enough for me to afford it.

"Is that it? Did you build a passage like this?

I look down the aisle.

I didn't have this passage when I was heading to the lab earlier...

I don't care how much you have, you'll notice.

The aisle itself is completely different. Unlike the deep walls where the dirt walls are bursting out, this passage is properly paved by stone bricks.

Something suspicious...

Such an openly different coloured passage is too unnatural.

Could it have been Elibel?

Is it a new trap or something? It's called the new art ceremony earlier, and it's called this monstrous passage, how much do you want to use me as an experimental body?

But too bad.

Many times, I'm not stupid enough to get caught in that hand.

There's no way we're going in this suspicious passage.

Totally stupid. - What, are you alle?

So I rolled down the aisle and my eyes went to "it."

Demon Stone.

There were demonic stones in the aisle at regular intervals.

In addition, behind it you can see a large number of demonic stones placed in stone vessels in a pile.

"Oh, lucky. You were just hungry."

I was in front of you the most, eating with the Demon Stone in my hand.

Hippo, Bobo, O-kun.

Yeah, yummy.

Ha! I accidentally ate it.

I look around. …… No response.

......... would it be okay if we had another?

Extend your legs a bit and pinch the demon stone that was behind it.

Yeah, yummy.

......... and another place will be fine, you can still go.

While I thought so, when I realized it, even the position of the demonic stone served in the mountain platter, I was in.

And the moment I reached for the demonic stone that was served on the mountain platter - -.

"Arr......?

I felt dizzy.

Geez, the scenery around me gets distorted.

"Gu, and Shit! Again, was it a trap - '

With the view, my consciousness slowly sinks.

- - Aye...

Somehow, I thought I heard a distracted voice.

What? Whose voice...?

Gradually dimming vision.

Before I completely lost my mind, I felt like I saw that white girl again.

I didn't even get the look on my face, but its mouth looked pompous open......

- - Naiwer......

And I completely lost my mind.
