282 The dungeon attack begins.






"Ugh, ...... guy, what do we do with this?

 Maybe it's because I'm here in a blatantly horrific space, or maybe it's because I've been in a blatantly horrific space, but I'm a little freaked out, grabbing the edges of my clothes and asking me about it.

 I'm mumbling to myself as I crumple her head and check my surroundings.

...... Well, I don't need to go to the trouble of dutifully disarming the trap.

"How? So, what to do? Do you want to use that destructive magic you used to go?

 I'm not sure if you're interested or not, but Carotta says so with an amused expression on her face, and I shake my head.

It's not a good idea to use it because it's too powerful, and if you use it here, we'll probably suffer the aftermath too. --But well, if you think that's all I've got, you're wrong.

 I'll show you that you're not just going to unleash your firepower magic, as usual.

 With a grin, I said that and faced forward again, and began to build up my magic.

 Okay, so let's go to ...... and plow....

Come on.

 I'll designate a range, pour my magic into it, and then activate the magic.

"Oh, no!

"What, what?

 At the same time, the ground in the cemetery began to gurgle and shake, and the holy knights and adventurers behind them let out a cry of astonishment, and a little while later, an enormous sized earthen dragon appeared - a human being would have swallowed it up in one bite.

 Since it was created using the surrounding ground as material, tombstones popped out from all over the body, and perhaps even swallowed the skeleton at the same time, there were a few bodies peeking out, waving their arms around pathetically as they flailed about.

 In the process of its birth, there were several explosions and jets of mist, but perhaps the trap that was set up was taken inside the dragon and caused it to explode.

Eat!

 At my instruction, the dragon lets out a roar and begins to swallow traps like heavy machinery, swallowing them whole and making its way through them.

 You can hear the sound of some traps being activated from inside your body, but there is no damage to the earthen dragon as it swallows up the soil from the side one after another to repair itself.

 --I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. And the second is "soil".

 Therefore, even though it is inferior to water, I am reasonably good at handling the soil, and with my magic power, I can control it by pouring my magic power into the soil that exists here.

 This completes the otherworldly version of the bulldozer.

 Do you know an easy way to disarm the trap?
 That's what we do once we boot up.

We're on our way. Let's go.

...... The construction work would be much faster if you were here.

"Oh, let's get started, shall we?

Huh, yeah, a masked construction company. But you can't build a house if you have a construction company, right?

"Well, let's be a masked plowing company.

 Cowering his shoulders, he replies to Nell, who chuckles.

 And listening to the conversation between me and Nell, Carotta bursts out laughing.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a job for me when you do.

"What ...... is a company that can only plow the ground, okay?

"In the guise of offering you a job in your company, I would offer you a very long term job so that you wouldn't be able to work elsewhere, and you would surround yourself with a church. What, don't worry. I'm not going to tame you, I'm going to treat you like a carriage horse.

"...... Nell, I'm afraid of your boss, so I'm not going to start a company after all.

Ha-haha ...... I guess I'd better do that.

 It's not just a matter of time before you are able to get your hands on a new one.

...... Hey, the three of them, in the face of such a large scale magic, how can they be so carefree? You guys are a little crazy, aren't you ......?

Don't get me wrong . ...... It's only those three that are funny.

"Oh, ...... well, yeah, you're right. ......

 Then Grifa and her holy knight were nodding at each other with a strange expression of solidarity.

 I can hear you, guys.


   * * *


"Let's see ...... dragons, just a little more to the right.

 With the image sent by the Evil Eye below, I instructed the dragon and let it go on and on.

 It took me a while because it was very dark around me, but I already found the door to the next area.
 Since the earth dragons aren't tilling the ground that fast, it might take me another two hours to get there.

 This graveyard area is quite large. It might be twice as large as our dungeon's grassland area.

 It's only because it's that big that we were able to make this dragon appear.
 We hadn't been able to get this big guy out because the space was too small inside the ship.

 As for the magic power, I've been drinking advanced mana potions to keep recovering it as needed, so it's not a problem for now.

Oh, man, here's a treasure chest!

"...... stop, I don't want to go near the treasure chest for a while.

 Nell replies mischievously with a disgusted look on her face.  
 Maybe I'll never open a treasure chest again.

Well, it's probably a trap. I'll leave it alone, okay?

 They nodded to Carlotta, who confirmed with the adventurers who are not her subordinates, that they had no objection.

"Well, let's see if there's a trap inside, so we'll break it.

 You can also have the dragon eat the treasure chests haphazardly placed on the side of the road and smash them to pieces before moving on again.

...... And even so, it's really easy to get on the road with the masked anchan.

 Reyes and Le Laurette nodded at Griffa's words.

"Yeah, I got that out of my system when I was separated from the leaders.

Well, it's ...... like the last time we had a hard time capturing it. It was a wise decision for the guildmaster to ask for your help on the outside.

......, but well, even if you were to capture it and get promoted, I don't think I'd be happy about it.

 Grifa's words, muttering to herself, intrigued me and I asked her.



"Huh? Elevated?

Ahh. Now we are Mithril-class adventurers, but if we complete this dungeon, we will be promoted to the Adamantite class. ...... I didn't do enough work this time to be considered accomplished.

 I see ...... this dungeon attack is a touchstone for your promotion.

If that's the case, I'd love to have you do the job.

"When ...... master says that, I have a bad feeling about it,

"Let's just say you have good instincts, my disciple.

 As an answer to Reyes' words, I'm going to prepare a roar.

"Here it comes, big one. There's only one of 'em, and it's crawling through the dirt.

"Mmm ...... sure you're there. Ready.

 At Carlotta's immediate instruction, the holy knights drew their weapons and formed a line in a seamless motion.
 You'll be able to see that Nell is the only one away from the ranks, and my wife is probably a ranger.

 The three adventurers also seem to have changed their minds immediately, and each of them hold their weapons at the ready while forming a formation with an excellent skill level - the next moment, with a loud thud, a large amount of earth rises in the air.

The next moment, with a thud, a large amount of dirt flew up.

"Huh, the hierarchical lord?


 --A worm emerged from the dust, a worm that was about the same size as my dragon, and whose body was rotting all over the place.


 Race: Gigant Undead Worm
 Class: mush rotten dragon
 Level: 87


 The first thing to be eliminated is a worm that accurately jumps out from underneath the earthen dragon, but I knew the movement of the worm through my search skills and map, and I let the earthen dragon avoid the attack by twisting its body.

"Bite!

 It is a very good idea to have a good balance between the two.

It's a good idea to have a good time.

 My dragon thrusts its fangs out deeply with its big acoustic gong and wraps itself around the worm with its whole body to prevent it from escaping into the ground.

 The worm fights to separate the clinging dragon, but my dragon is stronger.
 Unable to escape, the rotten worm wallows in the dirt.

That's right! Don't lose! Bite me!

"Oh, boy! I don't think we should be enjoying ourselves like a bunch of kids who are enjoying fighting insects!

"Give up, leader, master has a few screws in his head!

 The two men, who are trying to avoid the aftermath of the monster battle, unintentionally shouted at me as I cheered excitedly in front of a powerful battle.

It's a good thing my clay dragon is the strongest! You can't lose to that rotten bug!

"No, no, it's good that you are the strongest, but you can't get me to be quiet! The aftermath alone is going to kill me!

"I can't! Good luck avoiding it!

"An-chan!

 It was a screaming Grifa, as opposed to me, who was so excited and smiling so high.
