Chapter 9 - Demons in the Dungeon
We were ambushed by Shin on the eleventh floor of the west tower.
This place was a crossroads before the stairs, and the passage was a little wider than four wide.
Sylvie ran up the stairs and had a run-in with the dog-eared swordsman at the top of the stairs.
To the left, Ione is slashing at a knight in heavy armor, and on the other side, a small, bespectacled magician is chanting a spell.
On the right side of the aisle, I was confronted by a one eyed dwarf with a battle axe.
Alec pulled an arrow out of his leg himself and was fighting a tiger man in front of the stairs.
Each of us faced our enemy.
「Damn it!」
Alec swore, but he seemed to be struggling with the tiger man.
The tiger man's weapon was a broadsword, and he didn't have a shield. However, it seems to be powerful as he swings it down with both hands.
I wanted to go for cover, but a dwarf wielding a battle axe was in my way.
「Get out of my way!」
「What are you looking at? Anyone who distracted in the middle of battle will die.」
I want to get rid of him as quickly as possible, but the dwarf, who has an old wound in one of his eyes and is now is like a pirate's eye, seems to have a surprisingly wide field of vision, and there is no room for error. Even if I slash at him from a blind spot, he'll be able to use his axe to flick off my sword and fend me off. That's troublesome.
「Master! I'll take care of this.」
Meena ran to Alec's side instead of me.
「Okay, take my place.」
「Yes, sir!」
「Lily! Forget the cat. Hinder that magician! Don't let her cast a spell!」
Now that Alec, the commander, is free, his precise instructions start flying. Our party is strong when it comes to this.
「I-I get it!」
He had the cat change the target of Lily's attack, who was flying a sling shot at the cat.
The girl with the cat ears was lightly armored and moving quickly, so it was impossible for Lily to hit her with her skill.
Alec flicked his sword at the cat-eared girl's dagger as she tried to slash at Lily.
I'm sure all of Shin's companions have already joined in the attack, but I'm going to check the numbers on the [Enemy Counter] just in case.
Eight in all.
Shin, an archer, a dog-eared swordsman, a tiger man, a dwarf, a heavy knight, a magician with glasses, and a cat girl.
That's a lot.
「There are eight enemies in total!」
We have six. How are we going to make up the difference of two people?
「Lily, dodge, you're being targeted by a bow!」
As I was thinking, Sylvie, who was slashing at her enemies on the stairs, shouted.
「Ehh?」
「Damn it!」
Alec cut off the arrow that was already aimed at Lily with his sword just in time. I'm sure Lily's [Hate Reduction Level 5] skill is supposed to make her less of a target, but the effect seems to be subtle.
「――Lose all your light and fall into the dark,【Blindfall!】」
In the midst of all this, I heard an echoing voice from behind me, and the magician's spell was complete.
I braced myself involuntarily, but there was nothing physically wrong with me.
I looked around, but saw that Alec's face was wrapped in black smoke.
「M-Master!?」
「Alec! Are you okay!?」
「Don't worry, they just put me in a dark state. Concentrate on your enemy.」
I see, a blindfold spell. I was worried, but it's nothing serious.
「Glenn-sensei, what are you doing, please get rid of that one dog-eared girl!」
Shin's voice came from behind me, on the left side of the aisle. He seemed to have moved from the front of the stairs where he had been earlier. Why didn't he just run right into us? Well, if your weapon of choice is a bow like a bow gun, you wouldn't be fighting in close combat, would you?
「That said, this girl has a taste for swordsmanship and moves well. She's strong.」
The tiger man said.
「Tsk, I was going to cut her down from there and take her out at once! You're not just a pet, you're a warrior! Damn it!」
「Shin, I've reported you to the guild. Surrender quietly. The Knights of the Order and the Welbard Swordsmanship Dojo will be rushing to reinforce me soon.」
Alec's bluffing. Now if only Shin would give up and run away, we could start all over again.
「No, you're bluffing! I'm not going to fall for that. If that's the case, why didn't the Knights come out from the beginning?」
「It's because they're splitting up to search for you. Sylvie, the elf over there, is a member of the Order, and PK is a serious crime.」
「Hmm, well, I knew they'd find out sooner or later. It's about time. We were just talking about leaving this dull little country behind and going to the Guilan Empire.」
I don't know why he's acting like such a bandit. I couldn't help but shout in anger and incomprehension.
「Shin, why are you doing this? You're a hero, aren't you!」
But Shin laughed snidely.
「Yes, well, I am a hero. Shiraishi-san, the heroes in this world are different from those in games and anime. You can see that. They're not very strong, and the people in the town think they're stupid. But why do we have to fight monsters and demon lords?」
「T-that's because ......」
The reasoning that it's natural for a righteous hero to fight against evil is probably out of reach for him. This world is different from video games and anime, and that is something that I myself have felt very strongly. I was at a loss for words.
「Please surrender. If you do, I'll spare your life. Hehe.」
Shin gave me a nasty look. I'm about to get goosebumps from physiological disgust, but there's a problem before that.
「Don't joke around! You want me to abandon my friends?」
Abandoning my friends is an impossible choice.
「What a bunch of crap. It's life or death, and you're one of us. Hey, I don't care if you're hurt. Just get it over with.」
「You're right, if it's life or death for my friends, I shouldn't have cared about your lives. [Starlight Attack!]」
I used my special move without hesitation. Small rainbow-colored stars spilled out from my sword.
「Guha!?」
The dwarf who was hit by my blow fell to his death with one eye wide open, and collapsed there.
「What!? A blow to a dwarf warrior, that's ridiculous. His level is high!」
Shin shouted in disbelief, but my special move is an instant death move that doesn't care about the opponent's physical strength. If I hit anything, I can get rid of it in one hit. So I didn't want to use it on humans if at all possible.
「Kyaaa!」
「Ah, Lily!」
I was distracted by Shin, but Lily was attacked by a cat girl and fell down. That's not good.
I tried to run over to her, but arrows were flying at me from above. Damn, that archer upstairs is getting in the way.
And then――
「Oh, I can see your strawberry pants!」
And so on, Alec said, without a hint of tension.
「What a stupid thing to say at a time like this!」
Lily gets angry, but rightfully so. Well, I'm glad you're not hurt. Alec rushes towards her, but I wonder if he's blind. Well, he wouldn't do such a thing without thinking, so let's trust him here.
「Tsk, he can move!?」
The cat-eared girl is surprised to see Alec coming at her.
「Skill! He must have some kind of skill to see in the dark. Just don't be surprised every time and fight!」
I noticed that Shin said it, and I also noticed that he seems to have taken some kind of skill.
『It's called "Peeping Tom".I never thought he'd use it like that, but he's a pro at peeking.』
Heruko gave a look of admiration that I couldn't quite figure out what it was.
『Don't say anything strange at a time like this』
I hope Alec hasn't done anything criminal in Japan.
「You're naive, meow!」
「Ugh, shit!」
Alec was counter-attacked and slashed in the torso, but his steel armor seemed to save him. I'm so scared.
The cat-eared girl was not very good with a dagger, but she was agile and her body reacted quickly. Alec doesn't look like he'll be able to put her away any time soon.
「――Lose all light and fall into the dark swamp of despair, 【Blind Fall!】」
Oh no, another darkness spell.
「Damn it, Lily, what are you doing!? I told you to disturb her chant.」
Alec scolded Lily.
「I know, but! I've been attacked too!」
「Yeah. So, who was attacked by spell just now?」
「It's Ione. Her face is all black.」
「Tsk. Ione, huh」
That's not good. She's supposed to be the strongest one in our party, but she got hit.
「I'm fine. I've opened my eyes. What my father said I was lacking――that's the [Mind's Eye]!」
「Gumuu! It's brilliant ......!」
Ione stepped in without care and buried the heavy knight. Ione-san, you're amazing!
「That's not brilliant! Damn it! What's the point of getting beaten up without taking down a single person! I sold my favorite pet and paid 50,000 for you bastard! I even gave you expensive equipment, but I want my money back!」
Shin yelled in a voice that sounds like he's about to cry. It's kind of pathetic, isn't it?
「S-Shin-sama, give me an intructions!」
The cat lady hurriedly begged for instructions after her companion was killed.
「Tsk, you can make your own decisions, you know that! You take care of that blond swordsman! I'll control Shiraishi.」
That's what Shin said, pointing his bow gun at me.
「Nya!?」
Alec teamed up with his mysterious footwork and made the cat girl fall down in an instant.
『Oh, Serina, that's a [Matsuba Kuzushi]! It's so erotic!』
『I told you, you're so noisy.』
It seems to be a sex technique, because Heruko goes out of her way to offer it to me. geez.......
Furthermore, Alec used 【Turtle Binding Level 5】.
「Nyaa!? I can't move!?」
As expected of Max level, that difficult bondage was completed in an instant. It's just ......, I wonder why? It emphasizes her breasts, and it's kind of a nasty way to tie her up. .......
「Alec! Don't you dare use your bullshit skills in combat!」
Shin yells at him in a backwards voice, but really, I think so too.
「Don't get mad at me for that, it's unsightly. I don't care how I use my skills, it's my business. I'm sure you've got a lot of candles and stuff.」
「Oh, shit, I didn't have enough concealment skills.」
Men are so helpless. ......
Now, the cat-eared girl can't move now.
It's our counterattack.
