Even at my previous company, or rather, my previous company, people were moving around a lot.

Most of them said that the work was too black to keep up with.

Maybe that's why I didn't feel a sense of seniority in my mind. But still, some sense of seniority did emerge.

When I think of juniors, Kaido's name comes up immediately.

I can recall other juniors from my kendo club days, but the first one that comes to mind is Kaido.

We've been friends for a long time at our former company.

There were other guys who were younger than me who came in and taught me things, but none of them lasted as long as Kaido.

It's partly because I've taught him so much.

For some reason or other, I changed jobs and became a dungeon tester, an occupation that can be described as rare even if you look around the world, and I've made some successes.

More than half of the testers who joined me in the same year quit within this year.

Still, I'm here at this company because I overcame those hardships.

Now, I have talked at length about my juniors, but why am I thinking this?

Haha, but it's still a little while before he joins us. There's not a shred of spring here.

The subject of dungeon exploration chit-chat came up because the subject of the second stage dungeon tester came up.

Sorry for the uninspired reason, but I guess this is what small talk is all about.

It's true that there's no sense of seasonality here.

Yes, this place is humid and dark all year round, that it's kind of claustrophobic. At least, I think the word "glamorous" is the least associated with it.

If you can survive a certain wave of enemies, you will be able to have conversations in the dungeon like this, so the topics of conversation will take a turn for the worse and naturally settle down to talking about what's going on.

Is there a season in a dungeon?

"Hmmm, that dark elf dungeon I went to last time seems like it would be a real possibility?

There are a lot of flowers and plants there.

In the midst of a busy HR department, there will be no change in normal business (dungeon testing) because we have a junior colleague, except that the enemies will become stronger.

It's just about finding ways to improve the dungeon by defeating the enemy.

Today, you're in the Immortal King's Dungeon, a dungeon under the jurisdiction of Instructor Fusio.

The undead festival as usual.

After exploring the city, we've finally found the entrance to the labyrinth, and we're wandering around the labyrinth like an underground tomb.

Our opponents are increasing in quality and quantity.

It is dimly lit, and of course there is no light.

We use magic provided by the south to keep us in sight.

A stone structure different from the king's dungeon.

If you would describe the KIOH's dungeon as neat and functional, this one has an atmosphere of historical ruins.

The air itself is also stagnant, and the atmosphere that gives you the impression that there is something going on should make you lose the room to talk about anything useless. ......

Speaking of flowers, the cherry blossoms will be in bloom soon! Then why don't we get together for a hanami? I've never actually done this before!

I haven't seen flowers since my mother used to take me to see them.

No one at our party has the spirit to be pressured by this level of atmosphere.

I'm going to take advantage of Kaido's incomprehensible comments and expand the conversation.

But don't make one mistake.

This is a dungeon, a vastly advanced and unknown area compared to the other testers.

Call it the front line.

The danger level is quite high.

You are talking in such a place as if it were a friendly place, but you are fighting with the undead in a space that is far different in quality and quantity from the monsters in the city.

You may think that you will not be able to talk much in this depressing atmosphere, but the members who don't care about such an atmosphere go on exploring the dungeon as usual.

''Come to think of it, I don't have one either, that I don't.

I've been there with my family a few times.

"I don't even

"Me too.

It's a story that doesn't fit in with the conversation of the cherry blossom season that's coming soon in the horror space, but I'm not caught off guard.

"Ahhh, let's stop chatting, that it is, that it is coming from the other side of the wall, that it is early.

"I just saw you kind of, you know, your eyes.

No, I should ask about the abnormal range of the leader's attack, that I should ask about it? A leader is the vanguard, that is, right?

It's a good thing the vanguard has a wide attack range. Don't complain.

"What does the South mean by that? Where are the vanguards that have a longer range than the rear guard? I haven't used any magic except to check the strength of the enemy for the first time since I came in here.

I'm the vanguard if you say so. I fought a few times, but other than that, my senpai cut me in half and that was it.

"Ughhhhhh, everyone is good. I'm hardly fighting.

"I'm pretty much the same way.

I think the leader should weigh himself a little more, that I do. If this continues, our status won't improve and we won't be able to collect data for the dungeon tests, that I do.

"...... seems to be.

I wasn't careless, but I guess I overdid it.

With my perceptual area expanding and the range of my attacks widened thanks to wearing the costume magic, I was trying to see how well I could use it in a small space.

And I found out that the best way to be useful in this space is to be clothed in wind magic.

By wielding wind magic like a swaying robe of feathers with the mineral tree, the sword changes its shape like a whip.

I like the fact that it is invisible.

You can even increase the number of slashes if you want to.

It's really fun to play this kind of magic because it's so diverse.

Trial and error can be a pain for some things, but when it comes to testing your power, it's a little different and fun.

Depending on the magic you wear, you can use it in a variety of situations depending on its nature, characteristics, and usage.

In fact, I cut off a UMA-like monster that was crawling out of a corner and didn't let it get close enough to me to cut it off.

The slit in the wall beside the monster, which is converted into magic, is proof that I cut it off.

Against the immortals, attributes such as fire, light, and possibly lightning are also useful.

It's not only that, but it's also that they've been able to make the most of it.

I'm not going to be the only one who has been in a position to do that.

South, what's going on from here?

"I'm sending some reconnaissance magic, that I am, but it's crushing some of the magic, that I am. There are probably some magicians over there too, that I think it's Rich. I think it's something like Rich.

That's tricky, because as an immortal wizard, you seem to have a lot of anomalies.

There was a spiritist in the Joo King's dungeon, but it's not the same thing, is it?

Well, there may be more damage on our side.

"If that happens, I'm counting on you, Masaru!

"Yes!

When I asked him about the terrain ahead while moving backwards to take charge of the group, Minami became a little reluctant to do so.

It seems that the reconnaissance is not as good as usual.

The north palace also put a hand over their mouths at Minami's guess and said it was troublesome.

The immortals generally attack in a way that makes us physically ill.

There are miasms, miasms, psychotic hallucinations, skin-melting solvents and debuff attacks.

You will find people who use magic in the King's dungeon as well, but different precautions are needed.

That's right, I'm coming as I speak, that I am. That's a strong magical reaction, that it is. There are three of them, but before that, to tell you the truth, there might be some horror stories coming.

"A number? A big one?

The latter, that is.

The big undead ones are very durable. They are so tough that they don't die easily.

"Well, it's hard to freeze, haha, you should add more attributes.

"Use my great magic?

"I don't want to spend a lot of time on it, that I don't, and thanks to the leader, I have more magic, that I do. That's what we'll do this time, that it is. I want you to be ready to restore Amie's magic power, that it is.

Okay.

And it looks like the biggest one of them all is hooked.

I hear a loud, distant yell in my ears.

And as if in sync with it, I can hear heavy footsteps coming with a thud, thud, thud, and I can hear them running quite fast.

"Kaido-senpai is going to charge after Amie's great magic, that it is. Kitamiya~The ice soldier will support Kaido, that it is. Let's hit the rear guard at once, that it is.

"Oops.

"How many bodies do you need?

"Three bodies, all with one-handed swords and shields, that is.

Okay.

Kaido steps forward as instructed, and as Kitamiya waves his staff, an ice golem appears there.

Minami timed his timing with a serious expression, then deployed a thin film of magic.

''What is this?''

It is concealment magic, that it is. The magic is high in attack power, that it is, but because of its power, it is obvious that it is being prepared, that it is standard practice not to let people feel its magic like this, that it is. No fool would rush into a place where he could see that a cannon was being prepared, that he would not.

It seems that it serves to hide Amelia's magic, which is deployed to envelop the party, so you can't see it when you're in the same space, but you won't be able to feel it outside of the blocked off area.

Perhaps it's the one you used in a mock battle during training.

"It is simple, that it is, so it cannot be hidden, that it is, but it is sufficient for a surprise attack, that it is. Well, it's time for you to come, that it is.

"OK!

With the enemy's general location in sight, Minami counted his fingers and timed Amelia's appearance around the corner.

The number of fingers decreases to three, two, one, and .

Now, that's it!

"Yikes! Sacred canon!

It's called canon, but to me, it's just a thick beam.

The mainstream of the huge amount of magic power that has been converted into light magic power.

The light-attribute bombardment of Amelia, which was stored at the chest at the timing of the south, breaks through the wards and thrusts towards the armor-clad giant coming out of the corner, making it assume a stunned posture despite being immortal.

''Kaido-senpai go! That is!

"Yes, sir!

"North Palace!

You don't have to tell me!

I was swallowed by the light, unable to take a defensive stance.

I was left with an ankle and the rest of my body was wiped out.

In the aftermath, Rich and the others, who were a little further away, were also damaged, and Kaido and Kitamiya's ice golem charged in to break the flow.

"Oh, leader, I've been caught in the rear, that I'll take care of that side, that I will.

"Hey, hey.

"How's your condition, that is, Katsumi-Amy?

I made you drink the potion.

"Then I will ask you to recover if Kaido-senpai's behavior becomes strange, that it is.

Okay.

"Amie-chan, one more shot, that is.

"OK!

At that time, Minami detected another sign, I sensed it and looked in that direction.

It's the one we're supposed to be looking for. What's up there, South?

"It's no problem for the leader, that it is. This will be settled in about three minutes, that it will be, and then I will send Kaido-senpai over there, that I will.

"Okay.

Holding heavy shields and holding spears in formation.

The army of skeletons marching in an orderly fashion like an army!

They are different from the small fry that rampaged through the streets!

Their armor and weapons are of the highest quality!

Apparently, the Titan just blocked our path, hoping to confuse us if possible: ......

Then tell Kaido to move fast, or he'll eat it up!

OK, my style is not to miss out on experience, but I'll come to the leader's aid, that I will.

Please do so.

Not so wholesome.

A smile on your face as you eat away at the thought and raise the will to fight.

"Clothing, Medium Flame Magic

And if I'm going to be in close quarters with me, I'll switch my magic and let the mineral tree and my armor be covered in flames.

Then I'll lean forward and position Oki on my right shoulder.

Let's go!

And kicks the ground.

They are ready to intercept my assault, but it doesn't matter to me.

The magic is spread out, the flames are flickering, the flying magic burns with fire, and the spear thrust out at me as I run the shortest distance.

Slow!

Leaning further forward, he dives underneath it and arrives at the Tower Shield wall in a neat row.

"Ore Tree, connect.

Wrap the root around your arm and increase the power of the flame by circulating magic power in the blink of an eye.

Slash plus flame magic.

Next time, prepare a harder shield.

The slightest aftermath of a sword stretching across the dungeon walls melted like butter, and a group of skeletons in fine armor took the brunt of the damage and were burned by the flames.

Fire is the best way to kill the deathless undead.

Well, let's move on.

One swing can kill more than twenty enemies.

I couldn't have done that a year ago.

Thinking that I have grown up, I smile and run toward the group at the back with a smile on my face.

Word of the Day

Every human being grows over time.
