The Dragon King's dungeon, that it is. It's true that I was deliberately avoiding that dungeon, that I was.

Based on Evia's advice the other day, I suggested that we try the Dragon King's dungeon when deciding our future party plan.

A dragon is a synonym for the strongest in the fantasy world.

Sometimes they are relied upon, but rarely are they portrayed as weak.

Challenging a being who is always in a position of strength will certainly provide you with food in any form.

Now that we have become much stronger than we were at the beginning, I suggested that we check to see how far we can challenge ourselves.

Minami turned thoughtful and crossed his arms and began to worry.

I had vaguely expected a poor response to this proposal.

I know what you want to say. We're sort of in a slump right now. I understand that this is a way out of that situation and to try a new place. But.

"Is the dragon king's dungeon too much?

"I wouldn't say that, just, no, that's an excuse too. It's just that I'm not sure I'm good enough. I'm just not sure I'm good enough, that's all.

The meaning may be different, but neither Minami nor Kitamiya can respond immediately to my proposal.

As Kitamiya said earlier, his slump is probably because his confidence is wobbling.

What about everyone else. For my part, I thought this party could do it, so I suggested it. But I'm not saying it's impossible.

The name dragon has a name value that makes one shy away just from hearing the name.

I'm sure the girls feel the need to fight such an existence.

But if you ask me if it's now...I'm sure they'll wonder if it's now.

It's not just Minami and Kitamiya, Kaido, Amelia and Katsu are all looking thoughtful when I say this.

I almost regret a little bit that I was premature in this atmosphere.

I'm not worried about whether or not to fight, that I'm not. If it's between those two options, I think I should fight, that I should.

But as if to replace the atmosphere, the south gave a tailwind.

I'm with the leader, that I've seen. As long as the leader is here, I'm sure we are a party that can fight in the dragon king's dungeon.

Minami opens her mouth with a slightly serious expression and holds up her index finger and says that fighting is not a problem in itself.

Normally, Minami is a joke with Kaido, but everyone in the room knows that the serious expression she sometimes has is the expression she uses to talk about serious matters.

You can also use the following tips to help you get the best results.

I'm worried about what will happen if the leader is removed, that I am. but we are relying too much on the leader in terms of strength, that I'm sorry to say. It is true that our current organization is the best from a practical and efficient standpoint, but I'm not sure if we can continue to allow that to happen forever.

He got up from the sofa and stood in front of the white board in the living room, Minami took a pen and drew a pie chart, I wrote 60 percent of it and the remaining 40 percent of the name of Minami and the others.

One on one, we might be able to beat you, but due to the nature of the dungeon, that is rare. Then the opponent must be a pack, that it is. If we lack the breakthrough power of a leader against such an opponent, we'll soon be out, that we are. Moreover, it is doubtful that we will be able to cope with an even stronger one, that we will be able to do so when it comes out.

That's the party's current strength chart, she explained, and no one disputed that description.

I'm one of them.

That's not all, that it is. If things continue as they are, that they are, we may become a hindrance to our leader's growth.

As I was silently listening to South, she presented me with another matter of concern.

.........

"Senior citizen shackles?

"Yes, that it is.

What do you mean?

"You know what, Masaru?

No, I don't know.

I was silent and silent on what she said.

I knew what she was going to say.

Everyone else couldn't understand what Minami was saying, and they looked at each other to see what she meant.

Minami glanced at me.

As her gaze shifted, the others also looked at me.

Leader, this challenge to the dragon king's dungeon is to improve my level, right?

"Didn't I tell you that ......... originally?

This should be a chance for leaders to improve, that it is.

"It's going to happen.

"One leader can dive pretty deep, that I know, right?

Maybe.

"That attitude, leader, you've actually been diving alone, haven't you?

After I thought all eyes were on me, Minami threw me a questioning tone that was close to a definitive tone, and I guess she already had a near-conviction.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

I scratched the back of my head wildly as if I was giving up.

What good does it do if I'm the only one getting stronger?

"It's not good to slow down the leveling of the leader, that it is.

What do you mean? It's not quite to the point.

The leader was hiding in the dungeon by himself while I was unable to get together, that I have noticed. At this stage of the game, a single leader can capture the dungeon more efficiently.

"......... Huh, South, you know what adults don't have to say?

At the very least, the excuse he gave for resisting was brushed aside by Minami.

The part of Minami that was troubling her was.

"Because it's not, that it isn't! You can level up and you don't, that's not right for a gamer!

In other words, I'm a tester, not a gamer. The way you said it kind of shatters the seriousness of what you just said. God, why can't you keep being serious?

Because that's who I am!

I can't help but let out a sigh as she throws out her chest with a smug look on her face.

It seems that it was unforgivable for Minami to be concerned about the widening gap between her and her party members, so she reduced the number of battles to keep pace with them.

Well, does that mean that Minami was upset that she was not able to become stronger, and that she was concerned that the gap between us would not widen any further?

That too.

That means there's another reason too, right?

"Yeah, actually.

It was the day before yesterday.

On Evvia's advice, I went to the dragon king's dungeon by myself to start out.

"This place is as big as ever!

The Dragon King's Dungeon is a different dungeon from other dungeons.

I don't know if we can call it a dungeon anymore.

The Dragon King's dungeon is a one-floor dungeon with no hierarchy.

It is a dungeon where the full strength of the dragon tribe is placed on its vast grounds.

The canyon, a rugged area for humans to advance through, is manned by dragons with exceptional physical abilities.

This allows us to set up a defense network.

This forces us testers to seek out the dungeon core, which we don't know where to find.

It's a rare field-type dungeon that looks different from other dungeons.

Now, let's check the map.

Thanks to that, there are no gates to serve as checkpoints in other dungeons, and there is no way to escape except where I'm standing right now.

There is no other way to escape than where I'm standing.

So it's a long game.

There are flying dragons that fly across the vast field and terrestrial dragons that strut through the canyon passage.

There will be many other dragons as well.

So it's a poor idea to stay where you are.

Start moving now.

In addition to your usual equipment, you need to move inconspicuously here and are wearing a rock-colored robe with camouflage.

It jumps around, occasionally glancing at the map to check its current location, and then jumps back on the spot.

A small foothold in the ravine is all that's needed to challenge the dungeon.

That's what I'm talking about! Have you found it yet?

Even though I put on my hood and tried to make as little noise as possible, his presence was still very powerful in detecting foreign objects.

A huge shadow covers the sky as it envelops me.

A wyvern for starters.

A hulking figure that is not even remotely comparable to a human being.

The sky is my territory and my wings are spread out as if I were proud of it.

Its red eyes are fixed on me, and a roar echoes from behind its sharp fangs.

My opponent's appetite for battle is high.

I've decided that it's impossible to escape due to the speed difference and I'm going to put my hand on the mineral tree.

The enemy is a flying being.

We tried to get him to come down to the ground first, but...

But it's nice to see you coming your way.

I just managed to duck the wyvern's bite as it flew toward me, just barely missing the bite.

I'll have your head! And.

And then, just as the head passed by, it descended from the top of the mineral tree and felt slightly hard, but the flying dragon's head was cut off with a snap.

I'm not sure if the material is scales or not.

The scales as big as a fan are ejected from the wyvern, which has been transformed into magic, and there's no time to get emotional about it.

You'll be able to quickly toss the scales into the bag and leave.

"I know you've been noticed.

Although I thought that I had kept it to a minimum, the mere fact that a flying dragon of that size had attacked me was enough to alert others to the abnormal situation.

The dragon's cries could be heard from all over the place.

The whole valley was noisy.

I hid behind a rock in the ravine and quietly looked around with my binoculars.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, there you are.

Small to medium-sized species, or even a few large ones, can be seen here and there.

On the ground, the small, mobile species are in groups for searching, the medium-sized species are distributed at a certain distance, and the large ones are on standby. They are on high alert.

This is a dungeon that seems to be living in the wild, but essentially has its role as a defense mechanism.

Therefore, there is no conflict between monsters in the dungeon, but on the contrary, if a hostile entity enters the dungeon, they will attack you as a group.

In such a group, sometimes you'll see the same species, but the Bloods are larger as individuals or different in color, and you'll run to get out of the siege.

You'll be able to find no end to defeating them all, and you're going to hide for a while, but then you suddenly remember.

"Wait a minute, I came here to get strong. The more enemies you have, the better.

The reason I came here was to get a chance to be strong.

I went through a lot of careful preparation for that.

So we don't need to do much attacking this time.

It's possible there is, but it's not high on my list of priorities.

If that's the case.

It's better to have more people show up than to break through.

You can't help but giggle and think that you've become a bit battle-tested when it comes to this kind of thinking.

The best thing to do is to go and fight the dragon.

I step out from behind the rock I was hiding behind while checking the warmth of my body, rolling my shoulders.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon notices my actions and lets out a roar.

I'm here!

The enemy is here..." the small dragons are screaming as if to say "here's the enemy!

"Call in! Call in! I am now challenging you to know your limits.

I smile with satisfaction.

I carefully circulate my magic power in preparation for the battle that is sure to come.

Increasing density and purity, my heart races to its highest pitch, I take a quick step against the approaching dragon horde.

I laugh.

Maybe he was annoyed with me, but a huge lizard-like dragon attacked me.

No.

But is that brave dragon not very strong in this dungeon, or have I risen to a certain level of competence?

The agility and roughness of its wild strength.

The attack with its claws and fangs.

The claws slice through the arm with the mineral tree and the fangs with the returning blade, and three swipes cut the body in half to reap the dragon's life!

Next.

I knew I had flipped a switch.

From here on out, I will be a blade.

It will be a blade that will only slay the dragon.

So I readied myself.

Perhaps in response to their fighting spirit, or perhaps because the first one was cut down in a flash, the dragons swarmed at me.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

They counteract the distant breaths with magic and make a breakthrough.

"Ha-ha-ha.

I don't even need to think about how long we've been fighting.

The battle that seemed so long but was so short had subsided.

Here and there, the residue of magic flooding from the dragon's body drifted in and out of the scene, catching your breath.

By the time the crowd is eradicated, a large amount of loot is lying on the ground, and I'm only lightly gasping for breath, but there are no wounds that would interfere with the battle.

So I take a breath of relief, without turning my attention elsewhere.

I quietly look up at the sky.

Did I catch a bullseye?

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have the right tools and equipment for the job.

The Word of the Day

Anyway, not a bad idea to try it out first, right?
