Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

After a half-day walk through the lake in the center of the chaos, I reached the deepest center.

When I went to the center, I saw a hole in the bottom of the lake, and I found that the water of the lake was flowing underground and somewhere.

Suratan told me that the hole was not that big, and that the amount of water flowing in from the surroundings and the amount of water flowing out were sized to equalize.

The water flowing down the hole is wrapped around the vortex, so it is judged to be dangerous to approach the boulder, and it moves to the north bypassing the vortex. I spent half a day passing through the lake.

I spent the night out of the lake, but at that time, I could feel the signs of monsters from around me, and I knew that the density of monsters was easing.

That means more monsters will come to our resting position, but it's better than Monster House Modoki.

Walk straight north through the lake.

With the disappearance of Kelpie, the monsters seem to be moving towards the lake, feeling the density decrease with each passing time with their skin, and over two days after leaving the lake, they broke through the chaos.

"I finally... finally slipped out!"

After the chaos, you can see the high mountain range on the north side.

The number of monsters defeated so far is already countless, and I can't sleep at night, and there is always a light tiredness (scratch) on my body.

It's good that I got out... but I wonder if I can get through here?

In front of us, we reached the mountain range on the north side, and there was a narrow road leading north. It's a crack in the mountains that's so thin that I don't know if it's a good way to go, but it's impossible to get through.

"According to what I've heard, there's a dungeon ahead. If you don't want to go to that dungeon, you have to cross this mountain."

This mountain?!

"It seems that there is a place where you can pass." I'm sure... it's about 50 meters to the right of the narrow road that leads to the north... I think so. "

Efe showed me a narrow path that leads to the top of the mountain. There's nothing I can't climb, but it's a pretty dangerous road.

"Ah, are you going to follow that...?"

"If you don't leave the dungeon." Of course, it goes all the way up, and the other side of the mountain has to go down a similar path. "

"If you go up and down that... it's going to be pretty tough..."

"On the way, the road is cut off, so it seems to be quite dangerous." Therefore, it will take a long time to cross the mountain using that road.

But those who have passed through here, they have heard that they have used that path to cross the mountain, so it should not be an unusable path. "

"Who passed through here...?"

"The first thing I said was that there's a dangerous dungeon ahead called the High Difficulty Dungeon." No matter how many S ranks the adventurer party is, I won't step foot in such a place. "

As it is said, for the people of this world, dungeons are a resource, but also a dangerous place. A dungeon up to a certain difficulty level can be used effectively as a resource, except for a high difficulty dungeon.

You know there's always a life-threatening presence, and no drunkard would dare go in there.

In particular, by the time you get to this dungeon, you'll have to fight a lot of monsters, and it's normal to be in a state of full creativity, and there won't be any supplies left.

Let's go to the dungeon like that! How could there be anyone to charge? Even if I were... I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get out of the dungeon.

"Therefore, no one knew the intel of this dungeon." An unknown dungeon, by the way. However, it seems certain that it is only of a high degree of difficulty. "

Without someone who has cleared the dungeon, there will be no intel. It's not surprising that the information isn't out there. But...

"... no. Me and Surakitan know about this dungeon's intel."

"Huh?!"

Not only did they reach the Dwarf city of Zaaganbel, but there were many players who went to Zaaganbel. Of course, some of them went through this dungeon to Zaagambel.

It was known that information from such ancestral players was available online, and that there was a high-difficulty dungeon here.

No information was known about the chaos, but it was normal for RPGs to have monsters that matched the high difficulty dungeon.

What mattered was the information about the dungeon, so there wasn't much information about the passage. Perhaps there was some information about the chaos and the Great Abamas Valley, but at least, it was not remembered by me or Suratan.

At any rate, the passage has passed, so let's do it well.

However, with regard to dungeons, I knew that there was a high difficulty dungeon in this place to investigate where and what kind of dungeons existed.

Probably, this dungeon, which no one should know anything about, is said to be very difficult because the information about the players who challenged this dungeon in the past...

Anyway, Surakitan and I have information from other players in the other world, but we have information about this high difficulty dungeon.

It is not surprising that the Effe was surprised, because it is not the information that we have in this world.

Well... honestly, I knew the NPC was one of the most well-known dungeons in the players' lives. It wasn't a hidden dungeon.

Needless to say, Surakutan and I were surprised that Effe didn't know anything about the dungeon.

"I had a chance to find out by chance." I break the details, but I know about the inside anyway. "

"I don't think everyone knows, and I'd like to talk about the dungeon... let's go to the front of the dungeon for that." Maybe there's a safe place down the road. ”

According to the information from the players, there was room to prepare just before entering the dungeon.

When listening to the stories of Suratan and the others, it was more than a decade ago that the players were coming and going, and I don't know if it's the same environment as it is now, but I can tell by going there.

"I certainly don't recommend talking here." Let's go somewhere safe. ”

Heine agrees, and we go through a narrow crack, like a bare body.

Because it is a crack that entered the mountain range, it is naturally dark inside. If you don't hold the lantern in your hand and continue to illuminate the back, you can't see anything.

As you rub your body against the wall and go a little further, you will immediately see the light of the exit.

"Almost there. Be careful not to hit your head because it's too narrow."

"Ahhhh!"

I heard a slurping voice from the side I said.

I-Is everything okay?!

"Um, yeah. I'm glad my glasses didn't break..."

After I heard Piltee's worried voice, I heard Surakutan's voice. I'm walking in a row, so I can't see behind me. As long as I hear your voice, it looks fine.

Ok.

At last, it broke through the crack.

"Oh... this is amazing..."

It's a strange sight...

After coming out through the rift, everyone first saw it. Overhead.

As if in a fire pit, a cylindrical mountain with a diameter of less than five meters blows up straight up, and from there the sunlight shines softly.

A small, thin tree grows on the top of the convex wall and extends outward.

Looking down, the light that came through the leaves hits the wall, and the light moves like a creature every time the leaves shake. It's a view that feels like looking up from the bottom of the sea.

"It's a place where you meet beautiful sights one after another."

"Well... a place that's out of reach might create a beautiful view that people can't even imagine."

"Fufufu, isn't that bad?"

"... yes, yes."

When Nil laughed at him, he replied as if he had been illuminated.

"Most monsters wouldn't be able to come in here, so it would be relatively safe." Take a break and explain the dungeon in the meantime. Then let's decide whether or not to enter the dungeon. ”

Got it.

Lightly cover it with earth magic to prevent small-sized monsters from coming in from the crack, and me and Slatan explain the dungeon.

As a precaution, the lid on the crack will be destroyed later so that when someone else comes, we don't know where the dungeon is.

Behind the cylindrical space, you can see the entrance to the dungeon that opens its mouth.

It has a long rectangular vertical entrance and is sized for one person to pass through. The stone is brown in shades of brick.

We are in the mountains where the Great Abamas Valley is located... that is, inside the mountain range called the Abamas Mountains. Therefore, this dungeon is called the Abamas Dungeon.

"Regarding the dungeon... the biggest feature of this dungeon is that it is quite short, unlike other dungeons."

Is it a short dungeon…?

"I don't know if all the dungeons are revealed, so I'm not sure, but as far as we know, it's the shortest dungeon."

"Does that mean there aren't many hierarchies?" I have some knowledge of dungeons, but I hardly ever actually entered them, so I don't know how normal they are. "

"Is that so..."

Outside of the demon world, dungeon exploration was an adventurer's task, and it was a place where only those with some strength could enter. Even among the demons, those who explore the dungeon in the same way would be determined to a certain extent, and even if Heine and the others had never entered, that would be a matter of course.

So, Surakutan and I will first tell everyone what we want to know about the dungeon as the basic knowledge about the dungeon. It would have included what I knew, but everyone listened to me seriously.

From there, the details of the Abamus dungeon will be described. To summarize the contents…

The Abamus Dungeon is the shortest dungeon known to players for having two tiers.

Therefore, it was often referred to as the shortest dungeon, a two-tier dungeon, or such a name.

However, even though it was a dungeon with only two levels, as you can see from the high difficulty, the monsters that appeared on those two levels were really troublesome.

"First, two S-ranked monsters appear in the first tier." There were six of them. "

"With six S-ranks, we'll feel like we can win, but...?"

"The combination of the two is really troublesome."

The Invisible Hunter and the Silence Hunter come out.

"Eh..."

Heine's expression hardened. It's impossible, because it's such a troublesome combination.

"I see... even monsters that don't normally coexist with each other can coexist in the dungeon, so it's possible to have such a combination."

The Invisible Hunter is a completely invisible monster that fought once in a submarine tunnel dungeon, and even though that's a nasty thing to do, there's a silence hunter with him.

As the name suggests, the silence hunter stops the vibration of the air within a certain range with wind magic and completely eliminates the surrounding sounds. Of course, the sound of your own voice will be turned off, so if you take it from us, you will enter the world of silence.

Originally, since this Invisible Hunter and Silence Hunter are not in a friendly relationship, they will not fight together, but there will be no killings of monsters in the dungeon. Not only that, but the completely invisible magic of the Invisible Hunter was hanging on the Silence Hunter, and the six monsters were completely invisible.

In short... we must fight in a state where we are deprived of both sight and hearing.

"Well, that's the worst combination..."

“But if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be called a high difficulty dungeon.”

Is there still something...?

“This dungeon has prohibitions for each room.”

“Prohibitions?”

"The first room is forbidden by magic." In other words, I can't use magic. ”

Can't you use magic?!

This prohibition is very strict.

If you can use magic, honestly, it's not that hard a dungeon.

Just like when fighting an Invisible Hunter in a submarine tunnel dungeon, you can put water on the floor and indirectly see the opponent move and attack. Alternatively, there are many ways to fire magic anyway, such as attacking with a wide-range attack magic.

That's my Holy Soul magic, Dokan. That's it.

However, since it is set as a prohibition, the difficulty level rises explosively.

"Oh, how can I fight like that?!"

"There are several strategies." One example is when people with shields harden their gatchligards and strike back in line with where the opponent is attacking. ”

This is one of the tactics that the players did.

Originally, it was a dense formation called the Phalanx. They completely covered themselves with their shields, fired all their attacks, and thrust their spears at them. It's a very simple way of thinking.

But that's difficult, isn't it?

"Yeah. Nil is the only one with a shield at our party." No, even if they all have it, it's impossible with this number of people.

But there were other ways to fight.

I'm going to use this this time. ”

What I showed you was a blue mold ball. Smoke balls.

You use the smoke to locate the target, right?!

"That's right." Magic is forbidden, but the use of items is not, so it depends on how you do it.

In addition, I might be able to locate the opponent by throwing something called a bola that weighed on the tip of the rope. "

"If you say that, there's a surprising way to deal with it..."

That's all the players came up with, not the way we just came up with it...

"Well, with these six people, this first tier won't be so difficult." We can now work together well, and even if we don't hear each other, we should be able to handle it well. ”

"Ah... I see... our conversation will be restricted..."

Speaking of which, what happens if we use magic? "

“I don't know.”

"Eh...?"

"It seems that it is prohibited, but no one has tried whether it is really prohibited or not."

There were no idiots among the players who risked losing all of their characters and deleting them when they died, but only to see if the prohibited items were really forbidden, and to bet on the characters they had raised until they could challenge the high difficulty dungeons.

The Invisible Hunter and the Silence Hunter were combined to create a hellish Egg Dungeon called the Magic Ban. If you break the ban, it's no surprise that something is happening that will kill you instantly. It's more natural.

I'm not even willing to try it.

"If you don't know what's going to happen, you shouldn't try it. If you want to try it, I won't stop."

"What?! I won't try it!"

"Is that so?" I'm sorry to hear that. "

"Ugh!"

"Yes! Yes! Stop! Now we're talking about the dungeons."

As usual, I smiled bitterly at the two people who were arguing in the middle of the night, and began to continue the story.

"Anyway, the first tier seems quite difficult, but it will be able to escape." Then we'll cross the safe zone and head to the next tier, but... it's harder here. ”

Four people swallow my words.

"Unlike this, the real Monster House... what is it?"

"In short, the monsters appeared from one room to the next, and we had to subdue them." Moreover, all the monsters that came out were S ranks. "

"Is it a simple quantity..."

"And the ban in this room is on no more than ten people in the room."

The size limit of this second tier is quite troublesome for those who came to conquer the Abamus Dungeon.

For example, even if a hundred people come and force the first tier through the physical volume, the second tier cannot use that method. Due to the limit on the number of people, a hundred people must be divided into ten groups. Instead of pushing with a few strengths, each power was tested.

“You're saying we're not going to touch the bans.”

I was relieved that there was no such thing as a ban on magic on stones...

"No, it's too early to worry."

Huh?

"There is a limit of no more than 10 people. It's normal to challenge with ten people, right?"

"Maybe..."

"Yes. The number and type of monsters that appear in this second tier is always constant, and even if you challenge them solo, the same number and type of monsters will appear as if you challenge them with ten people."
