◈ 306. [Free Exploration] Farming in between (3)
Lake Kingdom District 6 dungeon [Lab].
Its full name is [Magic Lab], and it is one of the largest dungeons in the depths of the Lake Kingdom.
《Whoa whoops.》
On the roof of a huge research facility here.
A woman perched on the roof let out a sinister smile.
One of the commanders of the Nightmare Corps. Commander of the Dream Demon Corps.
It was the succubus queen – Salome.
《Huh-huh-huh.》
Salome watched as Ash and the others approached. Her seductive lips drew a sharp arc.
《I’ve been waiting for the day I see you again, Ash.》
After being beaten up by Ash the other day.
Salome rearranged her troops and waited for Ash to come.
He built a nest here because he expected that Ash would someday come to this [Laboratory] dungeon, which is the largest in District 6. I dug all sorts of traps.
And after a long wait, Ash finally came here.
《I will definitely subdue you this time.》
The evil smile on Salome’s lips gradually faded.
“So after I caught you… . Like this… Whoop whoop whoop… … Ugh!]
Salome, who was blushing and developing delusions, hurriedly came to her senses. His subordinate succubuses were staring at him.
《Kuh hmm hmm! Uhhhhh!”
After clearing her throat, she regained her dignity as a corps commander, and when she gestured, her subordinate succubuses flew in and brought a full-length mirror in front of her.
Salome tidied up her coveted pink hair once more, hung decorations on the horns growing from both foreheads, and tied a string to the wagging tail.
The shabby monk outfit he always wore was also changed into a new one.
These days, on the advice (?) of subordinates that covering up works well in the dream horse industry, I wore it tight up to my neck.
The succubus clinging to her subordinates applied makeup to her face. Salome twisted to and fro as she looked at herself in the mirror.
《How are you? I’m fine? This will work, right?!”
In the world of dreams, there was no one who couldn’t seduce someone, but Ash was someone who couldn’t be affected by mental abnormalities.
It’s not a way that suits a dreamer, but you have to seduce it with a real body… … !
The subordinate succubuses nodded and gave thumbs up to Salome, who asked a stern question.
Salome smiled broadly and raised her fist-! Raised up.
《Jooh! It’s time for revenge, Ash! I’ll let you taste the heat!]
Seeing Ash’s face as he entered the dungeon, Salome smiled confidently.
《You are mine!》
***
“Don’t say shit, get out of here-!”
《Quaaaaaagh-!》
District 6 Dungeon [Lab]. Entrance large hall.
I threw my fist as hard as I could and hit Salome in the jaw. Salome let out an ugly scream and rolled across the floor.
“Is it you again, Salome?”
Unleashing my fists, I gnashed my teeth. Among the commanders of the Nightmare Corps, there will be no opponent as nervous as this one.
Salome, who blinked while clutching her chin, was delighted.
“Oh, did you remember me? I’m happy!”
“Why are you so happy about that… ?”
I clicked my tongue and looked around.
The hall here is full of fallen troll corpses.
However, unlike the ordinary troll corps he has been dealing with, it is characterized by a subtle pink aura flowing out of his body.
A pink aura emanated from the trolls who had not yet been defeated. I gasped.
“Looking at what you’re doing, you look like an idiot, but you’ve been using your brain quite a bit.”
My passive skill [Indomitable Commander] completely offsets attacks of insane state. It also covers a range of tens of meters around the radius.
I can completely counter the dream demon army by myself.
Then these guys changed tactics – they charmed not me and my party members, but their allies, the troll army.
“I charm the monsters on my side, force them to become mad, and squeeze their life force to the end to fight… Enchantment can also be used in this way. I learned one.”
“Hehe, is that a compliment? Did you praise me just now?”
“Yes, you did very well, so die here!”
I pulled out my staff [Maestro] and fired the magic blade wildly.
«Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa’ ”’
Salome’s crazy crawling on the floor, dodged my attacks. Let’s just die and get comfortable with each other Hey! huh?!
《It’s too much!》
Salome shouted after blocking my attack by using the enchanted troll as a cannon fodder.
《There are too many of you-!》
This is currently 25 people. 5 pool parties.
Regardless of whether you enchanted the troll or dug traps or tricked them, they were no match for the total amount of power.
Salome’s prepared forces are being torn to shreds before us.
“And so strong! Such brutal violence is too harsh for a slender succubus like me!”
“Then what were you thinking about me?”
《Huh?》
“If you subdue us with your troops. What were you thinking of doing?”
I was asking with the argument that you weren’t going to brutally murder us anyway.
Salome, who stupidly blinked at my question, scratched the back of her head shyly.
“Of course I pack it carefully so that not a single hair is hurt! I was thinking of taking you to my base… … ?”
“Abduction to your base? After that?”
《After that, of course, the heavens together with this succubus queen, Salome! Paradise! It’s blissful time! I’ll give you the greatest happiness you can’t enjoy on such messy wires! Oh, of course, I’ll keep it tied up.]
… … I don’t quite understand. Does that mean kidnapping and inflicting mental torture? As expected, it is a terrible idea worthy of an evil nightmare corps commander.
Evangeline, who was listening, whistled.
“wow. Bondage kidnapping imprisonment? He’s also the leader of the Nightmare Corps. Is it pretty hard to play?”
“Minors, cover your ears.”
Then, this time, Lily, who was listening from the other side, blushed and grabbed God Hand’s ear.
“God Hand! What were you thinking while looking at me right now!”
“Oh, I had no idea!”
“You guys close your ears too… .”
Ignore the couples who tremble with the plague.
After taking a deep breath, I put the magic wand into my bosom and strode toward Salome. Salome smiled and spread her arms.
“Are you finally accepting my offer, Ash? Whoop whoop! Yes, you are a good boy! Now, into sweet dreams with me… … .》
Taang! Taang! Taang!
As soon as I approached, I pulled out my pistol-type horse gun [Agate] and fired 3 shots into Salome’s stomach.
《Kyaah Aak!》
[Agate] The knockback effect was triggered when the close -up shooting of the agade, and Salomega fell out. The new item effect is good!
“Please die quickly. Because I am very busy.”
This means that it is currently under a time attack!
Grinding my teeth, I checked the [Emergency Equipment Maintenance Quest] window.
Time is ticking away thanks to this goddamn nightmare corps commander who obstructs me so diligently!
Since I was cleanly hit by my horse gun 3 consecutive hits, if it was the thin stamina unique to the dreamer, he would already be in a dying state.
Salome held her stomach and laughed with a pale face.
《Whoa whoa whoa whoa Whoa, you’re the first man to treat me this coldly, Ash… … . A slap in the face followed by a gun shot in the stomach… … .”
“Is that so? You’re the first monster I’ve ever lived with so much talk.”
“My spine is chilling. okay. This feeling is… … What the King of Kings told me… … ?!”
“Agari please!”
I took out my staff again and fired the magic blade to finish off Salome.
It was an annoying opponent because it was noisy all the time, but anyway, it’s a benefit if you can kill a nightmare corps commander with relative ease!
Fuck! Poo-!
But then another troll came between me and Salome.
At the same time, all the trolls who were still alive rushed and formed a wall with their bodies as if to protect Salome.
“Damn it, everyone pour firepower!”
The party members under my command launched an all-out attack.
When all the meat shield trolls fell, the succubus and incubus escaped from the body of the troll, blocked the attack with their bodies, and then disappeared at once.
In the meantime, Salome, along with some of her men, managed to get herself together, then turned invisible and began to dissolve into thin air.
《Let’s see, Ash… … I will definitely try to seduce you next time… … !”
“I’ll tempt you! So don’t run away, come here! I’ll hit just three more, so let’s play together after that! hey! don’t run away! hey!”
But Salome is gone. They ran away, leaving only the corpses of trolls and dream demons behind… … .
Damian opened his eyes wide and lowered the horse gun he was aiming at.
“They are gone. It’s like you’ve gone to another dimension.”
“It’s [Escape from Reality], an evasion skill unique to a dreamer.”
Since it is a judgment that completely disappears from the real world, it is impossible to shoot even if you are Demian’s clairvoyant.
As it is a mighty escape, the price is also high. I don’t know, but Salome would have had to pay a pretty big price for running away like this now.
Damian frowned and tilted his head.
“… It seems to be something different from the Nightmare Corps commanders I’ve met.”
“okay? What?”
“The other kaiju corps have obvious hostility. It hates and antagonizes humans from the very beginning, spewing out an intense killing force as if denying our existence. But that corps commander doesn’t have that.”
Damien, who had the gun in hand, looked up at me and added.
“And very… I’m weak… … .”
“… .”
No, the compatibility problem is very big.
Without my passive skill, the dream demon corps would have been one of the most formidable enemies among all monster corps.
However, thanks to the passive skill, it went beyond the level of a restaurant and became a mediocre dog.
“Among the rest of the Nightmare Corps, these are the least threatening. It’s annoying because they stick together like fruit flies in the summer.”
I let out a light sigh.
I expected to encounter the Nightmare Corps commanders frequently. When it came out so casually, I felt a little strange.
This time, it was the most easy dream army, so I was able to win without feeling so nervous… … .
‘It would have been dangerous if it had been another nightmare corps commander and bodyguard.’
But what’s really dangerous right now is the remaining time of the urgent quest.
Currently, there are less than 30 minutes left. Watching the time remaining tick by tick, my mouth is dry.
Fortunately, most of the monsters in the dungeon were enchanted by the dreamers and dragged out, so there was no need to go and kill them one by one.
Originally, the research institute here was equipped with various gimmicks for each dungeon room as it was large, but most of them were dismantled on their own thanks to the monsters crawling out and dying on their own.
From this point of view, the time might have been shortened thanks to the dream demon corps… … ?
‘Thank you very much!’
Next time we meet, I’ll be sure to kill you as a thank you, Salome!
***
Lead the party members and enter the heart of the laboratory.
True to the name of the laboratory, the inside of the dungeon was a white and clean facility unlike other places.
Inside the dungeon room, various unknown materials and specimens were floating in a green liquid.
If I had enough time, I would have explored and gathered information here and there. Unfortunately, it’s time attack now!
Clear only the essential dungeon rooms in a spacious dungeon and move forward while obtaining the key or encryption key needed to advance to the next room.
[Emergency equipment repair quest]
– Remaining time: 15 minutes
At this urgent point where the shit line is burning. I was able to enter the boss room… … !
Koo Goo Goo!
Entering the boss room at the deepest part of the laboratory, I saw a large facility with geometrically designed alchemy devices intricately entangled.
《Non-citizens who don’t even have a name… … .》
A large troll in a researcher’s coat stood in front of the facility and turned around, gnashing his teeth. He even wore glasses
on the theme of “If you let me live under the protection of the Lake Kingdom, I wouldn’t appreciate it if it was used as a research material for magic here!”
and trolls.
… for a moment. Is this maybe racism?
《You jumped on the bandwagon outside and caused a riot on the subject of the experiment? under! Don’t be funny! No one can escape! I’ll put everything into this facility!”
I suddenly thought of that while watching the boss monster talking fluently.
I met this while exploring the dungeon… … The monsters who talk like people from the Lake Kingdom.
《Become manure for the future of mankind, non-citizens!》
Is that person’s soul intact and only his body turned into a monster?
Or the monster that devoured the person’s soul reads the memory… … Is it just copying a human voice and imitating a human?
[Lab – Boss Room]
– Defeat the boss!
– Lv.45 Troll Sorcerer < Dirandahi, Director of Magic Lab >
Dirandahi, Director of Magic Lab.
A rare wizard-type boss monster.
As he raised his staff upward, the magic power of the area began to simmer and resonate with the magic device behind him.
Raising his sword, Lucas, standing in the vanguard, exclaimed urgently.
“Master tactical instructions!”
I nodded and spoke out the tactic I had been thinking about a long time ago.
“It’s a knock.”
At my words, the party members under my command tilted their heads and were puzzled.
“Across… ?”
“strike… ?”
“What is it, lord?”
“A very traditional and time-honored pork stir-fry recipe… It’s not, it’s an anti-boss tactic.”
run around.
Turn around and hit the fuckin’. In other words.
“It’s Dagul!”
There are so many of us, the level is high, and most of all, there is no time, so what kind of tactic is that?
Just fuck it all together!
