148 – A New Concept to Hell
I’ve never heard of a monster called Echidna.
As a monster called the mother of all monsters, the only monsters that were born inside Echidna’s belly are the Nemean lion, Hydra, Chimera, Cerberus, and other monsters that left their names behind.
“… But I can’t believe that this monster is the monster that Echidna gave birth to.”
“That’s right.”
However, compared to those monsters, the monster he had caught was so weak that he couldn’t even imagine that he was born from Echidna, the mother of that monster.
Aside from being a bit peculiar, he doesn’t have any special powers. Even if it’s a failure, this level of failure came from that Echidna?
“I think there is something… .”
Even so, I can’t believe that a mythical monster, and that Echidna, which once made even the gods astonished, created such a crude monster.
“Let’s go at once. Anyway, no conclusion can be drawn from thinking about it here.”
“Okay, once you kill it, you’ll know.”
It’s also good for earning coins.
It is much weaker than the monsters in the Pres family’s territory, but just being born from Echidna makes it better for monsters with different coins.
You can’t miss this opportunity.
“right. Shall we match the sum after a long time?”
“good. Let’s attack with two real knights after a long time.”
While saying that, he made a path with pure white flames and grabbed Nemesis strongly.

The monsters that came out of the narrow road were all half-human monsters.
Monsters that originally existed, such as harpies and lamias, were occasionally seen, but monsters with bizarrely bat-like lower bodies or slime-like limbs also appeared.
“It’s perfect for coin supply, but… It is so bizarre.”
“I agree.”
Leaving aside the strength, it is a landslide victory over Hydra and Cerberus in terms of being gross.
Seriously, when a pus-covered human monster appeared, it was to the point of screaming out loud, so I said no.
“Still, I am worried about something. Not only does the smell of alcohol get stronger the further you go, but the monsters are getting a bit stronger as well.”
It’s certainly not noticeable, but the monsters are steadily getting stronger.
The smell of alcohol gradually rises to the point where it makes your nose numb, so if a person who is not good at drinking enters, a strong scent flows out from inside the cave so that it will not be strange even if you fall down drunk right away.
“For now, turn off the lights.”
“Yeah, that should be it.”
I am confident in my control, but just in case, I get rid of the fire and bring out the light attribute magic for the first time in a while to illuminate the surroundings. It is unlikely that anything serious will happen with alcohol in the air, but the possibility should not be ignored.
Especially for me.
[‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ said that she was getting closer to the brewery and wiped the saliva from her mouth.]
already?
I thought it would have gotten closer by collecting a lot of coins, but nothing was bigger than expected?
I thought that at least one misfortune would happen, such as a hydra popping out of the ground, Cerberus sleeping, or a Nemean lion attacking.
“… Ryan, are you okay?”
“yes? what happened all of a sudden… It was my fault for asking.”
Yes, it’s a dungeon with Echidna.
There’s no way it’ll end up with ordinary monsters.
In the direction where Minel looked in a cold sweat, a dog we commonly knew was sleeping soundly.
“The three-headed dog of hell. Cerberus.”

Just looking at it from a distance gives me a chilling feeling, telling me not to touch it. If you touch it, it is said to be at least medium injury and death at worst.
“Even in dungeons that fail to adjust the difficulty, there are limits.”
Until recently, I had been killing monsters that could only be found on the streets, let alone dungeons, but this time, I was suddenly facing a monster from a myth.
The person who designed the dungeon was certain that the head was abnormal.
“Where is the holy sword?”
“Just below where Cerberus sleeps.”
As soon as I saw Cerberus, I searched for divine power and checked where it was. Fortunately or unfortunately, the holy sword was confined right under the room where Cerberus was sleeping soundly.
“You don’t need to wake it up.”
“I’m glad.”
Relieved by my words, Minel steps back lightly and sits on a rock where she can sit.
clap.
“… … .”
“… … .”
At the ominous sound, both Minel and my gaze went down towards the rock Minel was sitting on.
And the effect of the circuit riding through magic was very simple.
Quaang!
“Wake up!?”
It was a simple trap to drive a stake into Cerberus’s tail.
By the time I realized the trap, I was running towards Cerberus carrying Minel like a burden.
“Hey, wait! Lian, what the hell are you doing!!”
“There is no other way than this!”
There is nowhere to run from in this narrow cave.
If so, there is only one army where Cerberus cannot move freely.
“Where the hell are you going!!”
“To the place where Echidna is!”
Even if he fights with Minel anyway, the chances of winning in a head-to-head match with Cerberus are slim. If that’s the case, you’ll have to be mean at all.
“Kurrrrr!!!”
I quickly pass by the side of Cerberus, who has not yet escaped thanks to the deep stake, and lightly strike the magic to see if it will work.
Roaring!!
The black flame attached to Cerberus’s mane and burned roaringly, but Cerberus didn’t even flinch and just looked at me like he was going to kill me.
“Would fire attribute magic work on a guy who lived in hellfire?”
“Oh right.”
No matter how great heukyeom is, it is pitiful compared to hellfire.
I can’t help what I’ve already committed, and the more I go deeper into the cave to get even a little farther away, the more the room begins to expand endlessly.
The cave, which was wide enough to wield a longsword until just now, quickly turned into a large cave boasting the size of an academy auditorium.
“… Rian, is it my mood that I regret so much right now?”
“No, I think I should just fly away and run away.”
kkong kkong kkong!!!
At Cerberus’s cry, which tells us that such a thought is already too late, he releases his magical power and runs towards the end of this great hollow.
And after about 30 seconds of running, the atmosphere started to change.

Jilpeouk… .
“Ugh.”
I was momentarily seduced by the sweet scent wafting from inside the cave, but I looked around frowning at the unpleasant sensation of touching my feet.
The reddish wall moves as if it were alive and intermittently emits transparent liquid like a volcano.
“Where are you?”
[‘I want to sleep with all women’ tilts her head, saying that this is a place that even they do not know.]
At first, I thought it was a fantasy dungeon, but looking at this, it’s a minimal erosion dungeon.
Krrrrr!!!
“You don’t even give me a chance to rest.”
I put Minel back on my shoulder and kick off.
It’s unpleasant to sink your feet like in a swamp, and the speed naturally slows down.
“sh*t. What the hell are you doing here?”
I thought about flying through the sky, but if the real Echidna was waiting in front of me, it would be best to stock up on a little magic power.
Stamina can be covered with mana, but mana can’t be dealt with with stamina.
“Rian, how about putting me down?”
Minel, who was clinging to my shoulder, suggested an opinion, but this doesn’t work either.
Minel’s mobility isn’t bad, but compared to Cerberus, who’s running right now, it’s insignificant. In particular, it will be even more fatal for Minel, whose agility has recently dropped by one rank.
“no. So hold on tight!”
“town!!”
As the magic of destruction explodes for an instant and flies away, the liquid spouting from the wall contaminates the floor, which slows it down even more for no reason, but time cannot be delayed any longer.
“Kukong!!!”
Cerberus had already followed right behind me.
[‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ said that he was also a guardian of hell and was very fast.]
Why is a guy stuck in hell so fast!
As I watched Cerberus growling and chasing after me, a huge wall appeared, so I took out Nemesis without hesitation, broke down the huge wall, and entered a new room.
I couldn’t even think of what kind of place it was and what kind of monster Echidna was.
I never imagined that I would experience a hell there that I had never seen before.
