Volume 3 - CH 19

Cyclo, who had regained his prudence after the fierce battle, continued up the dungeon, remaining vigilant.

Three days pass without any problems, perhaps thanks to his vigilance.

Finally, Cyclo sees the light of the sun, something he has not seen for a long time.

“–Uuuuooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh! I’m back!!”

Cyclo, who had successfully escaped from the worst dungeon, shouted out loud and rejoiced.

The dungeon entrance was full of other adventurers and guards, all of whom were staring at him as if he were suspicious.

“Ah, ahahaha …… I’m sorry.”

Cyclo smiled amiably and left the place.

“–Now then. The next destination is the …… guild.”

He muttered as he walked toward the Adventurers’ Guild.

–The Kingdom of Heinburg, the Northern Frontier Count’s territory. North Folia, the capital of the kingdom, is also famous as the base of the “Worst Dungeon” capture.

The worst dungeon is commonly known as the “Deep Hole” in North Folia, and the city has developed greatly thanks in part to the existence of this dungeon.

The Deep Hole is a dungeon with a large number of vicious monsters. Although there is a risk that the dungeon will be overflowing with monsters, there is also a great benefit from the resources obtained by defeating the monsters.

North Folia has developed by continuing to conquer the Deep Hole, albeit sometimes at the cost of someone’s life.

For this reason, the dungeon and North Folia are located just a stone’s throw away from each other, and it is possible to come and go on foot within a 30-minute walk.

Cyclo, who had become stronger after defeating the monsters, lightly rushed through this path and arrived at North Folia in less than ten minutes.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this wall.”

Cyclo aims for the service gate while gazing at the huge defense wall that surrounds North Folia.

North Folia has a high risk of being attacked by monsters, partly because of the proximity of the Deep Hole.

However, the city is surrounded by a huge wall that is far sturdier than that of the Royal Capital.

The residents of North Folia can live in peace because of this wall.

“Come to think of it, I do have …… my dungeon exploration permit, don’t I?”

Cyclo becomes anxious and takes out the luggage he had put away in the storage space.

The luggage he had with him when he fell to the bottom of the valley also contained items to prove his identity.

One of them was a dungeon exploration permit. The guild guarantees that an individual named Cyclo is allowed to enter the Deep Hole.

“Oh, here it is.”

Cyclo pulls out a card-like object from his luggage and puts the luggage away again in the storage space.

The fact that Cyclo casually uses storage magic is also a result of his training.

Thanks to his training in sundial clock storage, he can now store any object that casts a shadow.

Although there are some drawbacks, such as the inability to store in the dark and the inability to store transparent objects, most objects can be stored, and the disadvantages of darkness can be overcome by using sundial generation to produce light.

It has developed into an almost almighty storage magic.

Eventually, Cyclo arrived at the service gate, and by showing the gatekeeper his dungeon exploration permit, he received permission to pass through.

In this way, Cyclo was able to return safely to the town of North Folia.

Once here, the destination was close at hand.

The Adventurers’ Guild is just a short walk from the service gate.

Feeling strangely nervous and excited, Cyclo quickly made his way to the guild.

A mixture of emotions makes his heart beat faster. A smile leaks out naturally, and passersby look at him as if he is looking at something strange.

But heedless of this, Cyclo arrives at the Adventurers’ Guild.

He opens the door briskly – and, receiving the attention of the adventurers, makes his way boldly to the reception desk.

“Welcome. How may I help you?”

The receptionist, unaware of Cyclo, responds in a very normal manner.

Thinking back to the fact that his hair had changed color, Cyclo tells her what he needs.

“Call the guildmaster. — Tell him that Cyclo Owen has risen from the depths of hell.”

“Cyclo, Owen ……?”

The receptionist tilts her head. And then, after carefully observing Cyclo’s face, he finally noticed it and huffed.

“P-Please wait a moment.”

The receptionist looks quite flustered and goes to call the guildmaster.

While looking away from the receptionist and under the piercing gaze of the adventurers …… Cyclo proudly waits for the guild master to come out.
