Episode 161
46. Fellow development is always difficult (2)
– No matter how much the master catches the succubus queen… … ?!
He hadn’t even fought properly yet, but Nabe was already on the verge of giving up.
He had very low self-esteem and lacked confidence, so it seemed like he couldn’t help it right now.
If you forcefully push it into the field, something will happen.
However, as Nabe said, the succubus queen is by no means an easy opponent.
Because he was the owner of the top-notch dungeon and one of the few ‘epic’ bosses.
The dungeons in Paradise Academia and Paradise Island can be divided into general dungeons and epic dungeons.
Normal dungeons refer to dungeons maintained by the core of the dungeon, such as Hisperiif, Golden Mine, and Doris Fortress.
Normal monsters, even boss monsters, are created and controlled by this nucleus.
Therefore, no matter how many times you try again and again in the dungeon in question, the structure of the dungeon, the monsters appearing, and the boss patterns do not change.
But Epic Dungeon is different.
Epic dungeons are basically dungeons related to ‘specific quests’ or ‘main scenarios’.
For example, the grudge Seorin underground village was like that.
A forgotten town ruled by the Elder Lich who could not sleep 300 years ago.
It wasn’t the dungeon’s core, it was a dungeon managed by Richie.
That was the reason why I was desperate when Elijah broke in and played chess.
Epic dungeon monsters and bosses cannot return forever once they are destroyed.
The succubus queen and Amodea were also like that.
A third grader who begins to see signs of aggression by the Liberation Front.
It is the final boss of the epic quest called ‘Nightmare is Coming’ that can be progressed from then on.
Because of this, his strength was at the level of Aidan who became a third-year student, and he boasted a fairly gritty pattern with not only magical abilities but also very high magical literacy.
‘In my current state, there is no way to break through the front.’
If you want to play chess alone there, it’s not enough to bring Byron, who is currently the strongest in the first year, and set it aside.
So as always.
I was thinking of doing a trick.
Of course, you should prepare equipment or potions that are effective for succubus subjugation.
Bugs should be prioritized over that.
“That Thanatos couldn’t even come to his senses with the spicy K-bug taste, so what can my succubus queen do?”
I thought of several kinds of bugs that I had been sifting through for a long time.
It’s not like it’s a bug that comes up randomly every time.
The rockfall bug that I experienced when farming Aradwa is a bug that can only be found in Mt. Cheongong.
like that
Among some areas of Paradise Academia, there were places where the frequency of occurrence of poisonous bugs was high or specific bugs appeared.
“great… … This is how it happened Shall we call up other bugfixer friends as well?”
I’m also going to tell you about the good times.
* * *
“sewer? Why is the sewer all of a sudden?”
“I have something to investigate.”
Give the ring to Camila and George, who are puzzled by the sudden offer to accompany them.
The eyes of the two people who realized the meaning met at the same time.
“Okay. What can I prepare?”
“I have nothing to prepare. light clothes? Also, the stench can be strong, so if you have a magic mask, be sure to wear it.”
“OK.”
“But Rona-senpai isn’t coming?”
“I don’t think I need any help from seniors. There… … .”
Lorna was in the process of mass-producing the construction stone accessories I requested a few days ago.
This is because there was a need to prepare ahead of the full-scale expansion of power in the future.
“Ahh… … !”
“Then, see you in front of the Central Terrier sewage treatment plant in an hour. Aren’t you supposed to wear a uniform?”
“Okay.”
I was all ready anyway, so I guess I’ll have to wait at the entrance to the treatment plant first.
The two arrived in less than 30 minutes. In the meantime, he was also wearing a mask as if he had stopped by a tech shop.
After all, it was because he had personally experienced the shocking events of the advent of Azethos and the suspension of time and space.
The action was very quick and I liked it.
“great. Now that the preparations are all over, let’s get going.”
“Can I just go in?”
“yes. I told the staff that I was going into environmental maintenance through on-campus volunteering.”
“You’re sloppy with your expenses… … .”
“Well, it’s not really dangerous. It just smells bad, but we are taking care of everything.”
I used to reassure Camila, who had a worried expression on her face.
I walked slowly into the sewer.
The interior was surprisingly bright, not fitting the name of a sewage treatment plant or sewerage system.
There was no area where the lights were not lit as tech lamps and oil lamps were installed on every passing road.
It’s pretty neat, except for the fact that the walls are wet, so moss has grown around the floor.
“Isn’t the inside cleaner than I thought?”
“You can’t say that.”
Camila stabs George in the side of George’s reckless overuse of horror clichés.
“How are you? I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal. Hey Sanwoo, is there a real world twist here?”
“right.”
But if there’s one thing George overlooks, it’s the fact that the deeper you go, the more difficult it is to manage this type of facility.
Why did the staff give me permission to enter after hearing the word ‘environmental maintenance’?
It didn’t take long for George himself to realize the answer to that question.
“Ah.”
Black stains sticking to all kinds of walls. There are only a few lights that are working properly.
It’s not completely dark, but it’s not bright either.
The more you go in, the more unfiltered filth remains.
The disgusting insects and mice that feed on the dregs also caught my eye little by little.
“Ugh… … .”
Camilla, too, shuddered at Young’s stomach, and shuddered every time it passed.
“Now I want to ask in a different way… … . Is there really a twist in the world here… … ?”
“uh.”
I giggled and tapped George on the shoulder.
“I assure you, if you hadn’t worn a mask, you would have vomited and rioted now.”
“Don’t say things like that… … You still have a weak stomach, are you still barely holding it in?”
“Hold on a little longer. Everything is here.”
The three-way road arrived along the straight corridor.
It would be a dead end wherever we went, but there was a place we had to go.
“Come in here.”
Rusty iron window hanging on the wall.
It was clearly open so that it could be seen from the outside, but it was pitch black inside, as if there was not even a lamp.
Open the door with sanitary gloved hands.
There was a terrifying sound.
“Uh, do you have to go in?”
Apparently, Camilla wasn’t in a good mood.
Is it physiologically impossible?
“Wait for a while.”
“I will!!”
As soon as she speaks, Camilla walks away from the door.
He rolls so well in dungeons, so I thought it would be okay, but I didn’t know that he would be weak against this kind of thing.
Well, it’s not like we can’t proceed without Camilla.
I lit the oil lamp I had prepared beforehand and proceeded forward.
“Can’t you really see anything?”
“Now take that necklace off.”
“necklace? Why all of a sudden?”
“Don’t talk to me, dude.”
“You may… … Are there any traps here, are you going to investigate me as a bait?”

My heart ached a little, though.I continued the conversation skillfully.
“It’s not like that. I brought it here because I thought of you on purpose, wouldn’t it be a little disappointing to say that?
It’s not like he’s been hit once or twice, so he’s staring at me with distrustful eyes.
“… … Ugh. Okay, what am I supposed to say here? I must follow your words.”
Soon, he took a deep breath and surrendered.
“It’s a vacant room with nothing anyway.”
At my words, George handed me the necklace that was hanging around my neck.
Also, what I said wasn’t entirely wrong.
The floor was also the usual stone tile I had ever seen.
Except for the suspicious lack of light sources, you can’t help but think that this place is just an abandoned vacant room.
However, as the prototype of this world was an ‘RPG’ game-
There is no place created here for no reason.
“uh? I think there is something there.”
On the floor that seemed to continue almost endlessly, an old glove was thrown away.
The moment George unconsciously approached the glove.
“Aww!!”
The normal guy bounced off something invisible and grabbed my head.
“What, what!!”
The startled guy wiggled his hands, and his hands were pressed into the empty air.
However, I was able to move freely to places he couldn’t pass.
“… … ??????”
An automatically printed error message, obscuring George’s confused face.
『Bug occurrence / Terrain object error ERROR CODE: 693B』
“Well then.”
The moment I pressed the bug fix button right away and was about to add the trump card to the fix log.
“Hey aah!!!”
A shriek that rips the eardrums can be heard nearby.
“Wow, what! What’s going on!”
Camila rushes into the room shuddering, and George stands up in awe.
Pong-! Pong-!
After that, a huge slime appeared, approaching with a clear sound.
It was a ‘sludge slime’, a monster that was spawned with a low probability in the sewer.
“Sanwoo!!!”
Camila runs away with tears in her eyes.
It seemed as if he was just waiting and attacked by a slime that just spawned.
“Fortunately, it didn’t work.”
“Wow, what are you talking about?!”
Camilla was furious at my words, but soon realized that this place was a dead-end vacancy and entered a battle stance.
“Now what? Warriors like us are rat poison against slimes.”
Slimes are amorphous monsters.
Only by swinging a sword or a spear it cannot produce effective blows, but rather self-replicating and causing a catastrophe called number.
Therefore, it was a common relative method to give elements to weapons or to apply special poisons.
The latter was impossible under the current circumstances, and the former was highly likely to be dangerous due to the nature of the ‘sewerage’ area.
A moment when even a spark or spark is splashed in the concentrated gas.
Because I didn’t know if I would die instantly with the explosion.
“Sanwoo!”
Camila shouts in an urgent voice at the huge slime that is getting closer.
In a way, it is a moment of desperate crisis.
You can’t use Lioner’s power, which is effective for catching slimes, and Keter’s explosive arrows are impossible.
However, to deal with only George’s Wind Spirit, it may not be easy to defeat as it is basically specialized in ‘stab’ attacks.
Pong-! Pong-!
Recognizing its prey, the bastard scrambled through the door.
A plump, amorphous body bouncing vigorously into the air.
iron puck!!!
As if it had hit the ceiling, his body slumped to the floor without a hitch.
“what?”
Tried another jump, the result was the same.
A slime that is blocked by an intangible wall over and over again and hangs down.
“How did this happen?”
“You may not have seen Camilla, but this is where the world warped. George, would you like to jump in place?”
“now?”
As he nodded, George reluctantly jumped out of his spot.
bang!
Soon, George spread across the floor with a sound that sounded like he had hit the wall.
“Ah, ah… … .”
“If you look at it with the naked eye, the ceiling is that high. But in reality, it’s only this wide.”
“The twist of the world… … !”
“I came to fix this.”
“Even if the world is warped, now what about slimes? You can’t use the Lioner’s power here!”
“Of course. Do you want to die here together?”
“I absolutely hate it!!”
Just as George was worried, no matter how he prevented the slime from approaching, if he couldn’t get out, he was a fool.
I handed the stone necklace back to him, then pointed to the glove on the floor.
“You can use that.”
“Are you talking about ripped gloves? What is that?”
There are several places other than sewers where terrain object errors like this occur.
Still, the reason why I chose sewerage system that smells bad and is dirty.
“Try it at once. I am giving it to you.”
Because it was a place where you could learn the ‘vacuum arm’, a unique item with very unique functions.
