Chapter 43: Capture of the Great Cave Part Two

Chapter 43: Capture of the Great Cave Part Two

Despite the unexpected incident of King of Thieves Wake party joining, the search of Oracles great cave advances.

When Im walking the fifth floor where capture has ended already, Wake is surprised to see a large quantity of spider corpse.

Uwa, these are giant spiders. Youve done well exterminating this number.

Long-legged poisonous spider, they spit viscous thread to make weapons useless or to block movement. I hear that it is a troublesome enemy that injects deadly poison as it bites.

This kind of creature-type monster is a prey for the gunman corps.

Sensei comments slightly proudly.

Its a much more manageable opponent than an undead or inanimate/non biological creature.

Aaaah, you can use a gun after all. Oh, may I get the corpse of this spider?

Well, I do not mind. But Wake, what are you going to do with the spider corpse?

In any case, I can not think of the use of ordinary monsters, even Louise does not eat a poisonous insect.

Both viscous threads and bags are filled with poison which is also a good tool for thieves.

Indeed, are you going to use it to seal enemies movements and assassinate them?

After all, in terms of espionage technology, Wakes Thief Guild is the leader.

We advanced to the sixth floor disregarding the thief subordinates of Wake that are dismantling the poisonous spiders with a knife.

Oracles Great Cave sixth floor is a floor that barely has monsters.

In a strange room lined with miscellaneous ornaments, there is a sacred character in front of the door that does not open in any way, and a strange line is written.

Ill catch a cold | Where is the mummy man Mami? What is this?

Takeru-dono, Could you open the coffin there?

As sensei says, as you open the coffin, the door that did not open opens.

What is that?

Mystery multiplication riddle. It is embarrassing to explain it because it is a story at the preparatory school level.

Please tell me.

The mummy man who has caught a cold is coffin (kofin) coffin (kofin).. is a pun.

TN: the words in the parenthesis are written in english.

I think Immortal King Oracles ability is amazing but, the gag sense doesnt seem to be fatal.

I think that it is the material which is worse than mystery credit that the Sphinx in question gives.

TN: Probably Oedipus rex reference

Look for the pet which is on the floor.

Takeru-dono, Please turn over the carpet there

It was cold. How could you come up with such a stupid story, Oracle?

Choose the end of Eternity.

Oh, this is something philosophical, it seems like a profound mystery.

Takeru-dono, please press the letter N there.

Uwah, seriously.

It is true, the door opened.

I wont choose N since it is too easy to understand if the is the case.

TN: Eternity is eien so N is the end letter

I hope these things are not considered according to the audience in question.

While saying that, Lyle-sensei has a very disagreeable face.

It gradually reduces the spirit of sensei to explain. It was a harsh floor that can be said to be clever if it is a trap of shame play.

Sensei, I think.

No matter how strong the undead faction is, their brains are rotten.

Scene Change

Oracles Great Cave seventh floor.

A strong enemy appeared when we came here. Rather, it is a pleasure to have a battle.

The sound of footsteps from a group of stone golem can be heard as we proceed smoothly in the square.

It is a monster where the gun is almost not effective.

It can be said that it is clearly incompatible with the gunman corps.

Well, there is no need to take the trouble to bring the cannon.

Even if we cant rely on guns for this type of enemy, we have warriors with combat power too.

Yosshi, lets clean this up quickly.

Hey Takeru, dont go ahead alone!

Louise is angry and chases in a hurry.

The stone golem movements are slow. I was able to visualise how to beat it.

Hokushin Ito-ryu, Star-King sword!!

The golems arm swings down with a heavy stone club but it was cut off with a return slash from the sword of light.

There is nothing which cannot be cut by the sword of light as long as its blade reaches.

Hoo, my lord has become able to do so much.

While receiving the admiration of Louise, I picked up the cut off stone club and hurled it at the stone golem with centrifugal force.

With a loud noise, the stone golem collapse and rolled upon the surrounding golem like a stampede.

Even if I train myself to some extent, I cant imagine winning against Louise.

Its going to be quite a bone to break through here.

Ill try to purify it.

Ria steps forward and performed a prayer for A-sama but she only purified one zombie.

Apparently, it seems to be considerably cursed. My purification is hardly effective.

It is intentionally trying to put a zombie pool here.

Indeed. This is a labyrinth created by the immortal king.

To use the adventurer who is trying to explore the dungeon itself, as a trap.

In any case, we have no choice but to cut them down a little bit. Please sanctify the armament with the holy water of Ria-san. Lets cut them down a little bit.

The battle begins with senseis order.

Truly, the former adventurers zombies are strong.

The fact that they are wearing equipments means that they have defensive power as well.

Consciousness of their lifetime seems to remain somewhere. Their figure of swinging sword around is close to the feeling of fighting humans.

But zombies are zombies. There is no altruism.

The movement is not dull, there is no feint, and the way of the attack is monotonous.

Hokushin Sword Flow (Kiriotoshi)

Showing a deliberate gap, I slash its arms as the opponent attacks.

By attacking with a sword immediately on the opposite side as well, I cut the zombie and turn it down.

In the midst of battle, Wake started to say, How about sanctifying bullets?, this was effective.

The bullets sanctified with holy water will also damage zombies.

As expected of the projectile specialist, the efficiency of zombie extermination rose as it became possible to attack using arquebus.

Shortly thereafter, the zombies filling the square are expelled.

It is strange.

Whats the matter, sensei?

No, I thought that there is a zombie carrier but there didnt seem to be one.

Oh, are you talking about the source of infection?

Yes, there is a sense of incongruity that there is no zombie carrier.

Sensei was lost in thought, but the doubt was broken off immediately in the next room.

Zombie carriers with sharp tusks and nails are overflowing the room.

Everyone, absolutely dont approach. If you get bitten, you will become a zombie, just fight with projectile!

This is bad.

If you step into the room, youll meet a crowd of zombie carrier. All adventurers in the previous room might have been put to this.

If it were not for the sanctified guns, we would never have proceeded.

Because there is a projectile expert here, we are saved.

Wake also shot the magical bullet of rebellion with a sacred arrow. My Louise was equally active with a small bow.

I also tried my best and shot an arquebus with sanctified bullet.

Ah, I want a rifle soon.

Sensei did not utilize the weakness of zombie with flame magic, he was attacking with stone bullet magic instead.

Compared with earth, water, and wind, it is said that he is not good with flame magic.

Yes, there was such a setting. I completely forgot.

Lyle-sensei seems to be a cheat that can do anything, but sometimes he cant.

When we finished searching the ninth floor which had the appearance of the zombie festival, we continued to go down to the tenth level.

There was an impression unlike a conventional cave.

The passage that was colored by the brightness of the chandelier to welcome us who came to here on the tenth floor.

Like a castle of nobility, red carpet is beautifully laid out, luxury colored pottery and expensive-looking furniture are lining up.

Sensei, if Ill take this jar back and sell it, Ill make a profit.

Well, I think its okay to do so when we are done

No, I understand it.

The fact that this kind of luxurious furniture is here is like an evidence that there is an enemys boss with intelligence.

As we advance to the red carpet, a crimson fiend flew and attacked us.

It is a group of gargoyles!

It is a formidable enemy, but ends with a salvo of guns.

These guys are petrified.

The gargoyle who became a stone to protect himself from shooting was also torn by the light sword.

It was regrettable, Gargoyle.

Well, there is a room that is protected by the Gargoyle, this is the boss!

Is that what it is?

Was there something that sensei did not even know?

Well, it is a promise. Is it a boss or a treasury?

The gargoyle is a guard.

We open the gate, which Gargoyle had protected, inside.

There.
