61 - The Lost Palace

Oh, no, it's a dead end.

"Let's check the crate at the end of the street."

Peter opens the lid of the crate, pulls out the contents, and holds them up for all to see.

"It was an EX potion.

"Is a wooden box a treasure chest ......?"

"I bet the deeper you go, the more it looks like a treasure chest, maybe."

The EX potion went directly to Peter.

We have finished the second floor and are now exploring the third basement floor of the labyrinth.

I was worried when I heard that Roy and the others had returned from the dead, but things are going surprisingly well. The enemies are H!? The enemies are a lot of H! The enemy is stable without being cut off too much.

I guess the reason of their defeat is that they couldn't go as usual because of the pain.

I was wondering why.

"......!"

I'm in pain!

"Haguah!"

"A-ha-ga-ga-ga!"

It hurts.

A goblin sorcerer slips past Leroux's [Charm] and unleashes a total magic attack. The four attackers who had released their pain senses were in tears.

I drop my wand, Peter falls to his knees, Shin cower, and Leo jumps to a remote position.

My hands are somewhere between inflamed and burned.

They are not keloids, nor are they serious. However, the pain I'm used to in the real world is at best a bump on the little toe or something like that. Some people may have broken bones, but it is not that frequent.

"That's it, is this a dungeon to get used to the pain?"

The bar had not decreased much. The oatmeal restores the bar. The redness of the skin disappears and the pain goes away. Not even a mark remains.

"I'll do my best!"

With a useless attacker at her back, Kikuhime takes on the enemy. Fortunately, only one of the sorcerers was not affected by Leroux's charm.

"If you don't defeat the Sorcerer quickly, he's going to do total magic again!

"It hurt so much I want to slump on the ground right now. ！！！！"

Saying this, Shin kicked him with tearful eyes.

I charge and release without much popularity.

Peter and Leo throw a projectile, not wanting to get close.

I overkill the goblin sorcerer and sink him.

"Ouch!"

"It's too tight!

"Give it up."

"Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

"Ouch ...."

"It's only supposed to hurt for a second!"

After that, Leroux was sealed by Ochazuke, who told us that we should get used to it because it was probably a stage to get used to the pain, and the four attackers were screaming.

The damage was so painful that they could not move even if they had left it unattended without recovery.

<

After all, Ochazuke is applying recovery to four people by himself in addition to Kikuhime, the shield, which would not have been necessary before, and it is sometimes unpredictable when he will be able to recover.

It is a matter of course that the next attack of the enemy will prioritize the recovery of the members who are really in danger while the recovery does not go to you.

"I guess your hair and eyes are fine."

"I hope the fireball doesn't give you an afro."

"Don't get your hopes up!"

You ask the questions you notice, and the conversation begins the day after tomorrow. Again, it's business as usual.

Besides the general attack of the enemy, there is another problem.

The goblin thief uses [steal]. Well, it seems to be limited to recovery medicine. After a certain period of time, the goblin thief will run away, and if you don't defeat him during that time, he will escape with your items. Inevitably, the sorcerers and swordsmen who use general attacks must be defeated after them.

"I'm glad I was prepared for this, even though I looked suspicious."

Now I am fighting a battle with only my recovery medicine. I didn't think the time for [theft prevention] would come so soon.

"I think I'll take not only the [theft prevention] one but also the [theft] one. It's not cool to be the one who steals and be stolen from."

Perhaps because of their quickness, Ochazuke and Kikuhime were able to steal as much as they wanted, but Peter's goblin opponent seemed to have stolen a few times, although his stealing seemed to have been a dud.

"I'm scared, so we'll take it too."

"I'll take it too - I'll cry if they take my equipment or something."

"[Stealing] is more likely to succeed if it's in a pouch and if it's small. I don't know if you can steal equipment at higher levels."

"What?　You're going to make them strip!"

"That's romantic!"

"Don't put us together."

Peter distances himself from Singh and Leo, who are starting to make a fuss. Leo seems to have decided to get [Steal].

I'll let you know. Fast's field boss has been defeated solo by Akira.

"Oh, Akira Kun again. Those knights (N!?C) are very strong."

"Wandering around looking for field bosses?"

"That sounds like a lot of work."

"I hope you have a strong N!C."

"I think it would be better if we raise the level of the lower ones together, so that they can make up for their lacks and eventually become stronger."

"Only in the Hikaru Genji project?"

"Raising little girls."

No, sir!

I think you'll meet more bosses if you come to the labyrinth than if you go looking for field bosses, but you're dragging around Percival and the others who aren't Shibainu .......

This story ended when the goblins appeared again.

By the way, you will not meet any other party in the first three levels of the labyrinth.

The first three layers are single party areas, which are treated like event fields and boss fields, and no other party can enter. Or rather, it seems that other parties are fighting in a different space with the same scenery and the same enemies, even if they pass through the same entrance.

There is also an all-party area, which is described in the menu as a field where many parties exist in the same space.

Up to the third layer, there were only goblins, whether it was a place to get used to the pain or not, but in the fourth layer, Nazr, a small yellowish, rugged monster about 30 cm long and 20 cm high, which looked like a ripe and yellowed bitter gourd with legs, came out of nowhere and ran into the foot of the enemy. They come.

They are not very strong, but they are not so bad because they come even during a battle with goblins.

"They are so annoying!

"I'm getting sucked in, I'm getting sucked in!"

They like to swarm shields and healers. Nazrul's attack methods include rushing and sticking to H! (blood) sucking.

"Wow, I don't want to get stuck on him now!

Shin looks at the two who are attached to Nazr with disgust.

Since the [Pain Release], he is able to feel other unpleasant sensations as they are, except for pain, which has been weakened until now. The stagnant air in the dungeon, the humidity, the smell, the cold. It is not unbearable, but it is unpleasant.

"I was once attracted to mosquitoes in a swamp, but now I really don't like it."

"I hate it too much."

"Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha."

It's a wonder that it's not better to be in pain.

"Yeah, think of me as someone else's problem!　I'll leave you to recover!"

"Geez!　Because it hurts!　Stop hurting me!"

Leo's laughing. Come on, say you're sorry!

Shin, I'm sorry!

You're coming at me?

"It's too chaotic."

At any rate, I do a simple job of magically disposing of the nazles that have gathered around Ochazuke and Kikuhime, while defeating the goblins. Unlike the goblins in the west of Fast, they have jobs, and if you try to stop Leroux's [Charm], they use a total attack except for Sorcerer.

"If I don't [release pain], will the Nazr gather?"

"Oh, that's the one, not the job."

"Isn't it likely?　If it was to adjust the difficulty level, it's likely to come up on this floor and beyond."

"It's definitely not the usual way they boil."

No matter how many times they are defeated, they always come out of nowhere.

"Now, Homura is attacking the goblins while dispersing them with double magic, so I'm advancing normally, but without double magic, I'd have to be alone all the time to get rid of the nazles, wouldn't I be in trouble?"

"Well, if we can get Ochazuke to come closer to the group of enemies, he can work a ranged magic with the goblins, right?　If we raise the level of [range magic] after that, we can go there without double or even double casting?"

"I'm going to recover by getting close to the enemy, am I?　Can you raise the range quickly?"

"If you get too close, you'll get hit by the enemy's forward or backward ranged attacks, right?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"Resistance!

Cries of "Leo and Shin," who had been fighting behind the enemy, rose up.

"What?"

"[Pain resistance]!"

"Huh?　You [release pain] and then you can't feel it again?"

It's not that it's a total disaster, or that we shouldn't have done it in the first place. He is talking and fighting his enemies.

"It's painful, but it's like you can make calm decisions without being distracted by the pain, or you don't lose your weapon or something.

"...... isn't that something that comes eventually if you experience pain ......?"

"Well, maybe it'll speed things up."

Peter, who had been fighting on the oatmeal side, unlike usual because of Nazr's follow-up, and I got the same thing after a couple of rounds. But the effect was not so great!

"Stairway to the big bottom."

Only the boss.

"You're the boss."

"That looks like a painful attack."

"Oh, I'll give you back your medicine."

Thank you, thank you.

Well, before we go, E! We decided to have a meal to recover.

It was a little cold, so I had hot minestrone, a hot sandwich, and grilled sausages on skewers.

"I need a tray.

Get one at Sir."

We ate sitting on the stairs with two lights floating. Peter and Leo are sensing a presence above and below, though they think that no one will come from the fifth basement level.

I want a cushion.

"We'll make cushions."

"Are there any sausages of normal size here?"

I haven't seen any pigs.

Why pigs?

"The thin ones are sheep's intestines, the big ones are cow's intestines."

"Ah!　I see!"

Fagat has some information about pigs, I'd like to get some ingredients.

We add getting pork as one of our future plans while having after-dinner coffee.

"Was Shin's sausage a flag?"

"Shin's sausage is between your legs?"

"I'll have the beef, please."

You're so vulgar!

"Can't Shin and Leo shut up for a second?"

The boss of the fifth layer was an orc.

A dark greenish skinned, nearly three meter tall mass of muscle and fat was in the middle of the room holding an axe in his hand. The place looks like a cave made wider, but for the sake of convenience, I'll call it a room. It is the boss's room.

The room is swallowed by darkness above, and stalagmites, some as small as twice my height, protrude from the ground.

"I'm told that the idea that orcs look like pigs started with a misunderstanding, and in fact the boss in front of me doesn't look like a pig at all."

"I don't want them to make sausages from the intestines of that oak."

That bothers me too.

"I still don't feel any tension..."

I wonder whose fault it is?
