Let's be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~

Chapter 74.2

74 Part 2

Karen was impressed by Akanes observations.

She had no idea what happened in that battle.

She was watching from a distance, but her eyes couldnt follow what was happening.

She hadnt even realized that Shigure had to change her movements to begin with.

All Karen had been able to see during that battle was both Haruki and Shigures hands and feet disappear, but Akane seemed to have seen deeper into the battle.

Shigures technique is super first-class. He was able to imitate it because his eyes are good enough to not overlook those of changes in movement, no matter how minute they were. Those eyes of his must be related to his stupidly insane growth rate.

Karen closed her mouth and cast her eyes down.

Akane didnt know about the Skill Board. Karen couldnt even imagine what kind of face she was making at the moment.

She felt that if she could see what kind of face she was making even for a bit, it would be one that Akane could easily see through.

And Akane would probably say something like Oh, didnt you know about Harukis abnormally extraordinary growth rate?

So those good eyes of his will help him collect the hot stones?

Right. Its very easy to collect hot stones if you have good eyes. Anyway, stop worrying about him failing the request, and get to hunting!

Youre right. Oh, where are we going to level up today? Ive been to the 15th floor, but are we staying on the 10th floor?

Ah.

Akane stopped suddenly.

Her body shivered all of a sudden as well.

Hey, Karen. You know the middle floors are a dangerous place to be by oneself, right? So youll definitely need my power there, huh?

Yeah, the middle floors are dangerous, but

But what? Ah, so you do need my strength? So youll help me break through the 10th floor, right?

Why are you silent!? Hey, help me out. You can help me out, right!? Wahhhahahah!

After that, Akane wept vigorously as she clung on to Karen, even though her body was covered with bodily fluids from the spoon worms they had been hunting earlier.

It seemed that leveling up wouldnt be an easy thing for Karen.

I know the identity of that masked guy

203Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

No way!

What is he?

Is he a monster? Is he a ghost?

I wouldnt be surprised if he were a ghost

204Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

Sorry if you were expecting otherwise, but hes a human

205Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

Nah no way

That cant be human!

206Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

No really

Ive been looking into him ever since the Chikaho incident

Apparently that guy was involved in the destruction of Chikahos Monster Parade

207Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

Come on, we all know hes some kind of evil spirit

208Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

No, you guys are wrong!

Though I gotta admit that theres something devilish about him lol

209Name: Kagemitsu

Yo!

Is this a thread about the appearance of that masked guy?

210Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

Its the guy himself!

This is great! Seriously!

But why are you here!?

Im so excited Im getting a nosebleed

211Name: Kagemitsu

Dont get a nosebleed for someone like me lol

That masked guy is just that

Just an ordinary guy whos really hard to look at, thats all

212Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

Thats Kagemitsu for you

Treating the guy that exterminated the Monster Parade like just an ordinary guy

213Name: Kagemitsu

Ah, thats not what I meant lol

I did say he looked like an ordinary guy, but his fighting ability is something else

Hes probably the only person in all of Hokkaido to be able to take on an entire Monster Parade all by himself

Hes a pretty decent guy

Hes hard to look at, thats all

So give it up already

Not even I can do anything about that

214Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

No way a ranker is saying theres nothing he can do

215Name: Kagemitsu

Its not that

All Im saying is that he looks the way he does in order to restrain his own abilities

216Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

>> 215

Restrain his own abilities

*gasp*

217Name: Anonymous who shoots edamame from their nostrils

What, would dropping his mask lay a curse all over Nakasatsunai? Lol

218Name: Kagemitsu

Ive just finished reading all of your posts

Sorry

The fact that he has scales on his body is my fault

Eh?

Eeeeh!?

What on earth have you done, Kagemitsu?

The 10th floor of the Nakasatsunai dungeon looked like a maze, very much like the floors before it.

However, unlike those other floors, the corridors in this floor were wider.

The walls and ceilings of those corridors had changed from their usual cave-like appearance into more akin to man-made tunnels

Perhaps thats why it felt so chilly in there.

Haruki activated the gate as he rubbed his upper arm.

What kind of Divine Protection did Esta get?

The excited Haruki took out his Skill Board and swiped.

Huh?

Esta (0)Gender: Male

Skill Points: 2 3

Class: Hard Shell Bug

Estas skill tree didnt seem to have a row for a Divine Protection

Was the Skill Board broken?

Haruki swiped through the board several times, but there were no signs of any Divine Protection.

Apparently, getting down to the 10th floor doesnt grant a Divine Protection in the Nakasatsunai dungeon like it did in the garage dungeon.

Now it makes sense that this dungeon is so easy

Shortcuts exist for a reason.

One could always spend lots of money and get a small gun that would let them waltz through the upper floors of a dungeon. However, the strength of a weapon will always be the same.

Eventually, the monsters will become more powerful as they go deeper into the dungeon, and the weapon alone just wont cut it.

But while that may be true, having a more powerful firearm could cause something like a Monster Parade to occur.

(When a stray bullet hits the wall or the ceiling of a dungeon, it could be so powerful that it could be considered attacking the dungeon.)

If you cant hit a monster with a small firearm, a bigger gun wont solve the problem.

Having said that, even hurrying up to change into stronger weapons made out of materials obtained from the dungeon wouldnt work. If the adventurers level isnt high enough, they wont be able to equip those weapons.

In the past, people who tried to use regular guns to defeat a dungeon quickly found themselves at a stalemate.

No matter what, the easy way around things will always be rigged with traps.

Its important that exploring and defeating a dungeon is done in a steady manner.

Well then

Haruki was still concerned about where exactly in this dungeon would one get a Divine Protection, but still he changed his perspective.

He put down his backpack, and detached the two eel replicas that were hanging from its sides.

Then he put his backpack on again, and held the eel replicas in his hands after soaking them in water.

Esta, you dont have to attack monsters that much now. Rhea, just attack the dangerous enemies. You should follow Rheas lead, Esta.

After giving his instructions to both Rhea and Esta, they started exploring the 10th floor.

Nakasatsunai dungeons 10th floor was well known as a savage floor.

There was a natural Monster Parade generator there.

Letting ones guard down on that floor was a bad idea.

Bracing himself, Haruki proceeded into the floor with caution.
