45 – Dungeon Investigation Practice (3)
The test started, and our party moved through the horse tower to the Helln Mine.
Helln Mine.
If it’s characteristic, it’s literally mine.
This is where the kobold mine used to be, and because there are many caves, it is said that it was once a temporary residence for demons.
Of course, now, as the major holy relics in this area have been purified, all the remaining monsters are losing their power.
Anyway, among the many traces of the mines, we were tasked with checking the progress of Jeonghwa Island by taking on one that has not yet been investigated.
It is done by thinning out moderately weakened monsters and collecting the concentration of black magic from the center of the dungeon.
Although this is the ‘dungeon investigation practice’ explained by the academy.
Where are the protagonists going?
Big events, big accidents.
In other words, this place is also definitely not the size for freshman to have a picnic.
.
.
.
-Wow!!!
with a heavy sound,
-bang!!!!
-Peachy rule…
the ground is destroyed
One, close to 2 meters.
Two earth-colored golems with a light green color began to slaughter the spiders.
“Did you see it? You can break through the spider web like this! Yeriel-senpai! Burn it with fire magic!”
Spider Monster’s habits are simple.
It spins a web and waits for its prey.
With that, Lily was using a very simple strategy of sending the golems first to clear the webs, and then turn off the spiders’ aggro.
– Hurray!!
And, with Yeriel’s elemental magic, the spider’s web, which had become so flimsy, was removed.
In fact, the golem is resistant to fire attacks, so in addition to Yeriel’s detailed control, there was no damage on our side.
I have a strategy… can you see
“Who’s sloppy~ attack, in what time period will you catch them all?”
“Lily, I decided to refrain from saying that… ”
“Uh? Lily… It’s not like I’m just pointing it out to anyone.”
‘… ‘
I’m sure you’re talking about me, but…
Edwin, who had a lower grade than me and had nothing to do, was quietly keeping his head down to see if he was stabbed.
And we are at the first crossroads.
“what… ?”
Like Lily’s hair style, the path consists of left, right, and two sides.
When everyone was thinking about it, I, who already knew the answer, hit the player.
“You have to go left. If you look at the stalagmite on the right, you can see traces of dusk passing by. Twilight is so fast that it would be difficult to deal with with a golem.”
1st circle, light magic and pretending to scan the surface of the cave, Lily bit me for a bite.
“Wait, who are you voicing?”
In a normal party, the overall lead is the tank, but
It is a fairly standard method for a shooter or rogue to go first and scout.
Still, Lily said firmly.
“Lily, I’m going to the right.”
“This time, listening to Rev… ”
“You don’t trust Lily right now? He ignored my golem!”

[I can’t do that, so I’ll give you a cute Lily instead. For your understanding, we have given you a behind-the-scenes story about entering the school by cheating your age by 4]
———————————————————
“Were you really a kid? ”
Eventually, thanks to the swarming Lily, we headed right.
.
.
.
– Chishi shi shi shi shish*t!!!!
– Sissy Sit!!!!
“flaw… ugh!!! Gee, what the hell is this!”
-bang!
-bang!
It was about the size of two palms, and had black and yellow stripes of fur, and was fluffy.
It was clear why there were spiders in Lily’s dislikes in the set.
“Hey, go away!”
[dusk]
[Normal C-Rank Monster]
[Arthropod type]
[Risk level: somewhat high]
[Features: The value of one individual is not high, but it is fast on the ground, and it is necessary to be careful as it moves around in groups. Deep in the dungeon, there is a colony that controls it]
Moreover, the speed of these guys is higher than expected.
It was fast.
Even though they look easy-going, they are monsters.
Of course, even if it was slightly weakened by purification,
Therefore, they long for survival and reproduction even more.
The moment the chill sticks to you and gives you sight, it will suck your life force and create a dangerous situation.
“die! dead!”
-thud!
-thud!
The golem’s slow movements could not stop all the twilight.
“Aww!”
-Choo!
The same goes for Edwin’s spirit.
-Chishii profit!
-!!
Edwin and the Golem, that is, those who broke through the front row, began to rush towards Yeriel and Arya, who were in the middle.
“Everyone get away!”
Yeriel is a senior,
– Whoops!
Summoned a barrier of blazing fire.
5 circle magic, fire wall.
After the spiders’ movements were temporarily blocked, I endured the crossbow.
I have to get grades.
Take a deep breath and cast wind archery.
What you need now…
[Wind Striking – Continuous]
As if reflecting my thoughts, the wind began to gather in a spiral shape at the launch site of the gray open dog.
“Are you staying still? what are you doing!”
“Hide behind the golem. Edwin, you too.”
“uh?”
-Phoebebibit!
As soon as I pulled the trigger, a stream of blue wind began to cool down.
– Hurr… Luck!
Soon, the wind raised Jeriel’s firewall, becoming waves of fire, covering the twilight.
It was one moment.
The inside of the cave was instantly bright and a warm wind blew,
– Hurricane rumble!!!!
-Cheeheek!!!!!
[Luck activated! Randomly increases stat by 0.05]
[Luck activated! Randomly increases stat by 0.05]
[Luck activated! Randomly increases stat by 0.05]
-Cheehee!
Soon, only the smell of burning spiders was left behind.
“OMG… Kellogg!”
While Yeriel was using the ventilation magic, Lily hid behind the golem to avoid the flames, but only sticking her head out to check the situation.
And he approached me with courage.
“You are dangerous!”
“Isn’t it supposed to go to the left as I said in the first place… ”
“What? Are you trying to tell Lily that she’s wrong?”
“I would have said.”
“… Ugh.”
Lily’s face turned red as if there was nothing to dispute, and she shook her head.
It is common sense to respond childishly to a person who appears childish.
.
.
.
Dungeons are complex enough to get lost.
that’s the natural truth
So once again…
A fork in the road appeared.
“… Ouch!”
Watching Lily’s bewildered back,
Again, I hit the player.
“Again, it’s on the left. If you look at the part where the wall on the right side is ringing, it looks like a trap has been installed.”
“… You told me to be quiet… ”
Lily’s voice was lower than before.
Of course, without the wall ringing, this is my convincing reasoning.
This time, Edwin came first.
“Rev, I’m pretty sure you said that… ?”
“maybe.”
I answered deliberately vaguely.
Still, public opinion was leaning towards me, and Edwin went to the left…
“Then, to the left… ”
“Yep!”
Lily stopped him.
“It was just filmed on the subject of a joke… ! Because this time it’s really right… ”
“Lily, accepting party members’ opinions and teamwork will also be evaluated.”
Even Yeriel started to take my side.
I approached Lily with an expressionless expression and said,
“If you go to the right, are you in charge?”
“What…?”
“Can you take responsibility for an uncomfortable situation?”
“that… Of course not!”
Having said that, Lily walked straight ahead.
Yeriel looked at me with anxious eyes, but I replied with a nod.
* * *
The super-hell difficulty of ＜Reincarnated Hero＞ is never easy.
Every moment, every moment was a kill angle, and not just monsters, but betrayals and conspiracies lurk.
As with rogue-like games, the player is constantly forced to ‘choice’.
Depending on one’s choice, the survival of the characters is directly related,
If it is a dungeon that is determined and entices players with loot, this is a place where this choice has become more important.
In addition, this place I possessed now is one step more difficult than the Super Hell difficulty.
According to the content of the novel, Selena is on my behalf, so I only look for the correct way,
Instead of Lily, there is another A-class vanguard, so the dungeon is attacked with ease.
After that, the only problem was the appearance of the raid-class monster ‘Fire Demon’.
.
.
.
At the cost of Lily’s choice, the next monster was a zombie kobold.
‘Experience, experience.’
[Kobolt Zombie]
[Normal C+ Rank Monster]
[Humanoid]
[Risk: Moderate]
[Features: A kobold that has been mummified after being sealed in a spider’s web for a long time, has been engulfed by the power of a monster and resurrected]
It’s in the form of a goblin, but it looks like a mixture of dogs.
Fortunately, the numbers of these guys were large, but they were focused on melee characters rather than party units.
-Keak?
And as soon as they recognized us, they rushed in.
Normal kobolds have madness enough to be obsessed with adventurers’ money.
Now that it has been encroached on by black magic and has become ferocious, even a goblin would be a few folds of wickedness.
Again, they seemed to have the most comfortable body type, and they started to stick to Lily, who wore a large cone.
– Cairr!
“Damn!”
With Lily’s scream, the golem threw a punch and sent a kobold away.
-Koo!!!
-Keek!!!
Edwin didn’t miss that moment and put his sword in the vertical direction to finish it off.
“Aww!”
– Kwok!
-Keek… !
However, there was only one.
– Pachajak! Chick!
A terrifying sound began to be heard from the front, with knives scraping stones.
The kobolds surrounded him and started hacking.
And taking advantage of the golem’s blind spot, a kobold escaped and attacked Lily.
“… !”
Leaving behind her greatly bewildered face,
– Shh!
– Pabang!
A herbal medicine as light as the sound of wind pressure.
In [Windstalk – Rapid Fire]
Its body hung like a stuffed animal from the wall of the cave.
– Whoops… !
And due to the wind pressure that followed, the balance of the kobolds around the golem collapsed for an instant.
– Keher??
Arya did not miss this moment and whispered to me.
“Now.”
When she chants holy magic, the surroundings begin to light up.
– Kerreuk?
– Kerrr!!!
They had been in the dark cave for a long time, and momentarily lost their balance, twisting their bodies at each other and starting to collapse.
-Phoebebibibibibibit!!
And once again, a stream of wind began to pour from my ashen open.

‘The name hasn’t come out yet.’
With the wide-area technology of me and Yeriel, and the sacrifice of the golem chill, the kobold zombies were able to stop.
Thanks to this, I was able to raise the stats quite a bit, although the experience was less compared to the Hidden Dungeon.
However, perhaps because everyone was tired of the forced march, there was no further conversation.
– Stop.
“Again… huh?”
Then, the last fork came out.
Again, I hit the player.
“left… ”
“Oh, I know! Because I was going to the left too… … ”
Lily cut off my words and immediately teased her feet.
Now they don’t even ask for our opinion.
and… As soon as she enters a little,
– Shush Shush!!!
– Kwajik!
– Whoa, whoa…
The chill of her last golem crumbled.
“ah… ?”
Probably, it was caught in a trap in the dungeon while the damage was accumulated.
– Parr…
Like a child watching a horror movie,
Lily’s shoulders began to tremble.
And then he started chasing me.
“… Other than that, you said it was on the left… Why did this happen again… ”
“I was going to say that you have to listen to what people say, the left one is the trap and the right one is the correct answer.”
“… … !”
Lily opened her eyes wide as if shocked by my pun, then bowed her head.
“And didn’t you say that you wouldn’t listen to me?”
“… … ”
“Because you said you were responsible.”
“… … ”
She had a lot of embarrassment.
All she could do was hold the pleats of her skirt with both hands.
It looked dangerous.
“Go ahead quickly. Thanks to that, I got farther to the center of the dungeon.”
At my prompt, Lily looked around.
Summoning a golem, it also maintains dougi, but the mana consumption is quite high.
Arya also used a lot of divine power to help with this, and Edwin was already exhausted, so he sat down to catch his breath.
Well, Yeriel is relatively healthy, but she looks physically exhausted as she continues to look after Lily.
Lily cried to herself at the situation she had created.
“again… When summoned… That’s it… ”
Literally.
It’s a golem, stop summoning it again.
But it was for this reason that she gave up the summoner and became a dragon tamer.
Summoner Lily is the daughter of a wealthy family, who grew up being loved, and grew up being foolish by seeing only good things.
Besides, he looks like he’s ticklish, but he has a soft heart, so whenever a pet dies, he gets a bit of a shock as well.
So, it is the dragon who finds a strong summon that will never leave him, and that’s why he becomes a dragon trainer.
Well, this was all Kaeran’s scheme and gaslighting.
Anyway, it is this narrative that breaks Lily’s heart.
“Well. If you sacrifice about 10 golems in the future, will you be able to reach the center of the dungeon? ”
“Turn it off… turn it off… ”
“… ?”
Lily’s large cone-hair twitched up and down.
“Ahhh!”
At my dry words, Lily’s cries began to burst out.
“I hate you! uh… Say no! whoops… But why did you do that to me!!”
———————————————————
– Do you like me?
———————————————————
… Was that the reason… ?
