Volume 10 - CH 2.1

Part 1

Letting the day pass, it was now the next day──

Diablo arrived at the 《Dark Green Cathedral》 that was deep within the 《Man-Eating Forest》.

It was a temple covered in moss, and was half collapsed.

If it was the same as the game, then the dungeon should extend down underground.

Departing Faltra City early in the morning, it was now just before noon.

His fellow traveller was only Sylvie.

「We’ve finally arrived, haven’t we, Diablo-san.」

「Umu.」

「The quest is just as I explained it in the town……」

「Just leave it to me.」

The contents weren’t that difficult.

It was to obtain a mass of enchanted metal known as 《Eternal Mythril》 which was found at the deepest part of this 《Dark Green Cathedral》.

By entrusting that to the town’s engraver, it could be processed into 《Marriage Rings》.

──It’s a bit different from the MMORPG Cross Reverie.

In the game, when the special quest is cleared with only a party of a man and a woman, 《Marriage Rings》 are granted as a completion bonus.

Sylvie gave an explanation.

「If it didn’t have to be the special 《Marriage Rings》, we could have entrusted the job to any old jeweler though.」

「So it would seem.」

Normal things were mere jewelry

What Diablo sought were 《Marriage Rings》 which were considered as magic tools.

《The Dark Green Cathedral・Underground Floor 1》──

It was a dungeon made of stone.

The moss faintly shined, and thanks to that, they had no difficulty in walking even without having to use illumination magic.

Sylvie spoke as if to make sure of something.

「Diablo-san, don’t use any flashy magic, okay? I don’t want to be buried alive after all.」

「What a pain……」

「Fufu……What a strange feeling♪ This is my first time saying “hold back on the power” to a Chemical Elemental Magician.」

In this other world. Chemical Elemental Magic hadn’t developed. When speaking of Magicians, Summoners were the mainstream.

「Well, it is safer being a Summoner after all.」

He thought that was the case even in advancing through a dungeon just like this.

──Isn’t there a monster lurking in the shadow of the pillar? Wouldn’t we be attacked the moment we turn the corner? What about mechanisms in the floors and walls?

If a Summoned Beast were used, it would be possible to scout out the area.

Conversely, Chemical Elemental Magicians that needed to charge up were weak to receiving surprise attacks.

In the game, whether they were killed in a surprise attack by monsters, or had died from activating a trap, it would just end with only a penalty.

In this other world, whether if it was by a surprise attack, or a careless mistake……Once they died, it was over.

So it was only natural that a majority of the Magicians would aim to become Summoners.
