The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

5. Towards Hundred Years Later

"A dungeon of star veins...?

Squeeze back the parrot with the words Gibble said.

"Yeah, it's the name of the dungeon where I live. The place... well, I'll tell you later"

No, I want you to tell me now.

You heard of a star pulse somewhere.

I feel like Elibel said it before.

Besides, it seems like even the records of the Demon King and the Brave came up with a few words like that...

Even between bumps and thinking, Gibble spins words.

"Earth, you have certainly grown healthy. But... you're still weak. So much so that they become so slightly unconscious as to kill dragons or take them off the road."

"It's... well..."

I don't know how many times I've been dying in two and a half years.

I just want to relax and live.

For some reason, trouble's coming from the other side.

"Given your age, you may say that your powers are rather phenomenal. If it's just magic, it's already quite something. There's plenty of money to stretch."

But Gibble says.

"You don't have the time to stretch that stretch. Even if you don't do something, you call for catastrophe and trouble.... as I once was."

Only the last part was strangely emotionally caged.

It is true that a lot of irrational eyes have been encountered since I was born into this world.

The dungeons I made because of this are smashed, and if I think I finally made a second dungeon, I can force the other dungeons to transfer it.

Is it possible that the dungeons in this world are friable? How many times have I thought about it?

That's why I'm making improvements to things.

"You can be strong, no doubt. My mother, I assure you. You are“ qualified ”to stand at the top of this world. It also has its qualities. So why don't you come to me? I can protect you and be strong enough. It is only then that you can have a peaceful day without being threatened or disturbed by anything."

…………

"I want you to be strong as my mother."

That was a very, very attractive invitation.

I can live safely and relaxed without anyone threatening me.

That's what I've always wanted.

"So Earth...... will you come to me?

That said Gibble approached me one step closer.

I can live in safety.

I have parents who protect me.

A new option was in front of me.

But...

'Er, that means throwing this dungeon away now... eh?

"That's what happens."

Gibble nods.

Hmmm......

'I'm the only one going that way... am I alone?

"Yes."

Answer this instantly too.

Oh well.

I'm the only one...

"You ever take a family member?

"I can't."

"- Then no."

Lightly I turned down Gibble's suggestion.

I think I had an amazing voice myself.

I didn't think it would be such an easy word.

"Eh."

Gibble raises his bare voice.

I'm surprised you opened your eyes.

Well, I'm surprised I'm with you.

"A, Earth...... why? Why do you refuse my...... Mother's invitation?

Didn't you expect me to say no?

She was a bit of a wolf.

'Hmmm... should I say...'

Why did you say no so much yourself?

Because I'm the only one who can pull something off?

Or simply because it's a hundred million robberies to move and change a dungeon?

Because I've been attached to the dungeons I've lived in?

What do you think?

I don't know.

But when they told me I was the only one, I felt like I was missing something.

Anne and Elibel's faces floated.

There was a scene where everyone was eating demon stones, laughing at each other and chatting.

I wonder why?

......... I wonder why.

'Uh, I'll ask you again, you can't take the family, can you?

"Yeah, you know how hard it is to symbiote in a dungeon, right? If you're alone, it's easy to tell my family, but it'll take a lot of work for all of your family. Besides, my family protects you. You wouldn't need anything else, would you?

Hassle... hassle.

And... you know what?

I knew it.

Yeah.

I knew it.

It's getting tight.

I don't think of this dragon as my mother.

I don't know what to say, but if I insist, I can only say it somehow.

I don't think this human sees me as a child.

It might be rude to say this to the first person you meet.

Even though Gibble's words have a very warm and reassuring tone, they are somewhere frigid.

It feels like you're looking at me and you're not looking at me.

'- I knew it, it's good. Honestly, it's a very fascinating suggestion, but I like this dungeon.'

Puffy and I scratch my own cheeks.

'Maybe we'll have all sorts of troubles and troubles ahead of us... but I still think maybe we can figure it out. The dungeon's grown, and we have all of our families. And...'

"... and?

"- I knew moving was a pain in the ass."

It's a place I'm used to, and another place from scratch is a hassle.

Gibble looks at this one with a poker look.

At the same time, the light at the transfer gate shined from behind me.

"Ahhhhh! It's not a horse deer, you. The move is a pain in the ass...... Oh, I've never heard you say no to King Kamikaze's invitation for that reason. Pouxx, uh, stomachache, buffoo."

A voice sounded so bright that it was out of place.

It was Elibel who showed up laughing raggedly.

That is followed by Ann, Plum, Tres and Berk.

We are all uniformly armed.

What's the matter with you, sweetheart?

"No, I laughed. Earth, I thought you were funny. I'm not bored."

Elibel looks at Gibble as he sets up his cane.

Beside it, Berk refrains.

"Gibble, do you understand? This is your son, Earth. I hate trouble, I run away if something hard happens, I leave the trouble to my family, no shame on the drawcage that doesn't see reality. What do you think? He's so hopeless, isn't he?

Hey, don't.

I'll cry, I'll cry.

But, says Elibel.

"I'm such a fool for nothing, but I'm wondering and everyone admires me for this. - So I'm sorry, but I can't give it to you."

Elibel slaps my stomach with Concon and her hand.

Then Ann comes forward.

'The place where we should be is beside Earth. If Earth wanted... no, even if Earth wanted us, we would never leave Earth. "

Ann points the tip of the Devil's Sword Ridil on her back at Gibble.

"If you are trying to take Earth away from us, you will recognize it as an“ enemy ”, even if it is the mother of Earth or the apex, the Divine Disaster Dragon King."

More tresses and puffiness.

"I'm with your father too."

"Phew."

That's how everyone came together beside me.

Gibble looks at it.

And I sighed loudly.

"You've blessed a really good family, Earth"

Like grinning and cheering.

"But it's stupid."

That's what Gibble said.

It was the next moment.

What the heck.

Ann's head was crushed.

"- What?"

I didn't know what happened for a moment.

But the moment I turned sideways, Ann's body, which had lost its head, fell to the ground according to gravity.

Huh?

Wait a minute.

What happened?

"Become... this... ahhhhhhhh!?

Now Elibel's body shattered and vanished.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

Gibble laughed.

"- Are these people in the way? So let me get rid of you."

Pulp next.

And then Torres.

Berk.

He died crushed like a bug or something.

Just a few seconds in time.

All my family members who were on the spot just a few moments ago died.

I don't even know what happened.

Gibble hasn't even moved a step off the spot.

Yet - the families were crushed to death.

Yes, he's dead.

'Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'

I scream.

said Gibble on a pile of corpses.

"- Well, you understand the difference in power, right?

The moment Gibble said that - there were intact family members standing up there.

"Hey, what's that... Huh!?

"... Shit"

"Oh, that... what's wrong with me now?

"Pu, pu...?

'Huh? That... guys...?

What the hell is that?

"Now, are you still brave enough to stand up to me?

"Hey, what's that... what the hell?

"That's the“ result ”now. What will happen if I and your family come into conflict? I just wanted to show you the results."

When I asked the question, Gibble answered.

But what does that mean?

You mean you used some kind of hallucinogenic magic?

"That's an image. Still, the array is a“ consequence ”that can actually happen. I ask you again, Earth, and the family of Earth. Do you see, taste, and still conflict with me?

The moment I say that, I get intense magic emanating from Gibble's body.

That awesome wave of magic I felt the moment I showed up here.

That floods the surveillance room.

My body was tending to tremble.

Scary.

Undisputed, Gibble is a monster.

Image of earlier death.

I have enough strength to make the array real without any dimension.

But only one.

Trembling, there was a demon staring straight at the gibble.

'... what is it?

It's Ann.

Everyone's gaze concentrates on her.

Ann was trembling, but stood up with her sword and stared at Gibble.

'Surely you are strong. It will be very strong. To be honest, I'm just scared to be facing each other like this.... but that doesn't explain why we give in to you!

"You're gonna die, aren't you? Is that okay with you?

"It's trivial, like the presence or absence of life. To that extent my heart does not shake. You can win, you can't win. It's not a problem! As Lord Earth's family, I cannot kneel before you here and now! Never!

Still Anne and Gibble's eyes cross.

It was unexpectedly gibbly to distract me first.

"You really look like Mules...... Not only does he look like him, but even his mind... That's what she said, she died away from me..."

Somewhere nostalgic tone.

After a while of silence, Gibble turned to me.

- Okay, let's wait a hundred years.

"Eh."

"It's a hundred years. It takes a hundred years for the dragon to become an adult. In the meantime, I swear I will not interfere with you."

Suddenly Gibble changed his opinion.

What's this all about?

"Oh, what kind of blow is that?

Elibel asks questions.

When the hell did she turn around, she had a wand behind the gibble.

"Thank you. You just respected that kid's opinion, didn't you? Is there a problem?

"... you don't. If you don't interfere, I've never crossed it."

Elibel sets up a cane without alarm.

Gibble looked at me.

"Earth."

"Ha, ha."

"A hundred years later, you are stronger than you are now - that you are strong enough to be recognized by me. If I can do that, I won't force you into my dungeon, nor will I interfere."

"What... ah..."

"Earth, can you do it? Something stronger than this."

I saw my family in silence.

Look, they were all trembling at the bees, but still didn't have the same look on their face that they gave up as one person.

Oh, my God, why aren't we all scared when they show us that?

- What are you talking about, though you must be scared to decide.

I'm scared, but you still stand up like this without giving up for Temehe.

You know about that, don't you?

It's mainly.

I always get help.

Then I'll have to show these guys a little bit of a temper to reward me, won't I?

......... oh, right.

Exactly.

I closed my eyes a little and breathed slowly.

And I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Gibble.

'Strong... will be. Let it be, never.'

"Really... see you in a hundred years, Earth"

I said that somewhere I looked lonely, and Gibble disappeared.

Just like when he showed up, he suddenly disappeared.

"Gone...... wow. There's no reaction to Gibble's magic in the dungeon."

says Elibel as she manipulates some kind of sphere.

"Oh... I'm so tired."

"That's the same thing for everyone. But I'm glad you didn't even take your pills. I've reviewed it a little."

'I think it was wonderful, Master Earth!

Ann and Elibel praise.

I'm surprised, too.

I can't believe you said that.

Ha... but I feel heavy...

Anyway, it's been a hell of a mess.

"Be strong... ah..."

Can you do that?

If it just grows normal, maybe Gibble won't admit it.

'It's okay. Master Earth can do it. We're here to help you, too. "

"Me too."

"Phew."

That's what Anne and I are stopping by.

Oh, you're right.

I'm just relieved.

If everyone's here, we might be able to figure it out.

"Ma, let's just try..."

Just another challenge added to the pile of challenges.

That's what I think.

You're getting hungry when you get nervous...... do you want some demon stones for now?

Anyway, this is how Gibble left our dungeon.

I'll be strong enough to make you recognize Gibble in a hundred years.

Leave me with such a hell of a difficult challenge.

At the outer edge of the Eldo wilderness - -.

"So listen, Gwib. I said it was better to stay with my family than Earth came to me. I love her so much."

'I think it's a matter of how you say it, or how you do it. I told you first, didn't I? I thought you didn't have to be beside me when I was born?

"But there's a good reason..."

'Even so. In that way, it's like you're misunderstanding me no matter what I think. You didn't mean to kill him, did you?

"Huh? Was there something wrong with the way I said it?

'... you hadn't noticed? Whatever you think, it's not the tone the mother tells her son, is it?

"Huh!? Really?

'Ha... I don't know you can't grasp the sense of distance because this is your first parenting, but maybe you should learn something a little more about your mother too...'

"Oh... I don't know..."
