Dungeon attack, Day 14.

The bottom of the sea.

After passing through the whirlpool, we finally reach the 20th layer. We have come a long way.

But we're only a fifth of the way through. We still have to work hard to awaken Mary.

Thanks to the slaughter of the Sahagin herd, there were a few drop items on the floor of the ship. The trident spear the half-fish had used. It's not much of an offensive weapon, so I'll sell it off later. Wow, it's kind of slimy. .......

The Titanikko goes through the sea and comes to a large temple-like place.

'This is the undersea ruins......'.
Wow, it's big!

As Prine and I opened our mouths to express our impressions, Captain Kugyu warned us.

'We'll keep going on the boat. Watch out for the monsters coming in through the bubbles!
''Yes!

Underwater ruins. Underwater temples.
The Titanikko moves slowly forward through the ruins.

The corridors of the underwater ruins are wide. Even a large ship can easily enter, let alone this small sailing ship.

But that also means that the enemies are large.

A monster as big as a big ship was approaching us.

It's an emir dragon! They fire a death-defying electric shock, so watch out!
'What's an electric shock in this sea? ......'
Yeah, he's determined to kill us and our enemies. He's a monster, but a good one.
'Why are you praising me?
'I'm going as fast as I can. Cover me!

The great mouth of the long-necked dragon opens and is about to bite the Titanikko to pieces.

'Prine! Light magic! --Firelight!
'Yes! --Fireball!

Two fireballs covered with bubbles flew into the sheikdragon's oral cavity and exploded with a bang.

--Pgyaaaaaaaaaaaaa......!

The monster twists its neck in pain. It seems it didn't do much damage. Maybe it's too big. Looks like he just got burned.

Captain Kugyu shouts.

All right! Go, Titanikko!

The sailing ship accelerates. We slip past the long-headed dragon, but it seems that the enemy has no intention of letting us escape. He turns his head in a circle.

I'm looking at you!
'Hee hee hee!

If you look closely, you can see that the tip of the sheik's mouth is missing. I'm sorry, that wasn't much more than a burn. It looks like it was damaged pretty badly.

--Oh my god!

'I'm angry, but!
'Hee hee hee!
'You've got to be careful, you guys!

'I told you to cover me, Captain Kugyu!
'I didn't tell you to piss me off!

'We've got no choice, we've got to take them down, Prine! Can you handle the lightning?
'Yes! Maybe--no! I can manage! I will do it!
'What, you don't think it's this pattern again?

'Captain Kugyu, put a ship on him! As far as my sword can reach!''
''You're going to die!
'If Prine's moderated fireball can do that kind of damage, I can do it!
'What about the electric shocks!
'Prine will take care of it! Trust us!
'! Okay. ......! Let's show them how adventurers do it!

Captain Kugyu barked.

'Reverse it, Titanikko!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

A small sailing ship charges toward the long-necked dragon.
I readied my eldritch sword and chanted a spell.
Prine chants ahead of me.

Ancestral Dragon! The source of all particles. Thy power is before me! Ancestral Dragon Shooting Dragonic Power ''
Quick!
Go, go, go, go!

--Goaaaahhhh!

The giant maw of the long-necked dragon is closing in. Then Prine cast a spell.

Exploding light!

A small, blinding explosion occurs, and the monster loses sight of the Titanikko. While he's out of sight, we close in on his throat.

Right in the middle of the long neck of the long-necked dragon.

Attack!

I kicked the deck, leaped, entered the bubble, and fired a war technique at the neck of the long-necked dragon which was just at the edge of the hull.

--Zubaaaaahhh!

The sword I wielded cut through the sea. A straight line ran through the sea. It was a break in the water caused by the attack.



In the middle of it all,

-- fishbutt......!

There was also the head of a head dragon.

The monster, which had its pride and joy cut off, stared at us and shuddered.

It's coming! What are you going to do!
'Prine!
'Yes! --The staff of thunder and lightning! Swallow the thunder!



Electric bolts are released from the body of the long-necked dragon, and they pass through the bubbles and rain down on the ship.

But the blinding light all converged on Prine's staff, and neither the Titanicco nor we were harmed.

Amazing!

And the sheikdragon slowly turns into mist in the sea.

Victory.

''Yeah!

We dance in triumph, "Rundtante, rundtante ". This is also to recover MP with the "Dance" effect of the clown skill. But it's still fun.

But this time, there was another person in the group.

Runda, Runda, Runda
'............'
'............'

It was Captain Kugyu.
We looked at him with a blank stare,

''Ha!''

He came to himself and stopped moving with a "rundo-dake" sound. Specifically, he stopped with his right leg and left hand raised.

His face is getting reddish.

What's wrong with you, I'm not allowed to dance!

He wanted to dance.

They wanted to dance, but they were too embarrassed to say so.

We laughed and nodded.

'Okay!
'Let's dance together!

Captain Kukyu looks very happy. But he immediately turns away,

'Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! If you insist so much, I might even dance for you! I'll show you the dance of a woman of the sea!

'Yes, yes, Rundtan... Rundtan... Rundtan... Rundtan...'
'Rattataaaa...'
'Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo... yoo-solo-saw...'

Layer 20.

Underwater temple.

Other adventurers reported to have seen a small group of adventurers in a small sailing boat, dancing happily as they went along.

Of course, I am talking about us.





The Titanikko is making its way through the rows of massive round pillars, which are very much like temples.

'Captain Kugyu, there is a treasure chest over there.
That's a mimic.
'I want the Gilga medal, so I'll take it down.
'No. ....... You guys can't do it, can you? They use lethal magic.
'It's resistant.
'Really! What the hell is wrong with you people!

We leave the middle passage and take a side road.
Five treasure chests were placed there for all intents and purposes.

When the boat is brought close to the chests, the chests are also placed in the bubbles. Water is also coming off the floor and the walls.

I got off the boat and approached the treasure chests.

I open it and the battle begins.

I jumped with my arms and legs to keep my distance, and the mimic looked at me, clinging to a pillar.

Non-negative Darkness Breath Stops Breathing'.

He suddenly used lethal magic. But..,

'Shut up.

He approaches in a single leap and cuts them down carelessly with his eltral sword. Victory.

Repeating this, I defeated five mimics and got two Gilga medals.
Incidentally, I am resistant to lethal magic with my skills, and Prine is resistant to the "Star Silver Bracelet" of the Amulet of Protection. We're no match for each other.

'Have you guys ever had a hard time ......?

Captain Kugyu asks in exasperation.

'Yes, I have. I almost died a few times.
'It's only been 14 days, but you've been in a lot of danger, haven't you?

We looked at each other and nodded our heads.

Yes, this mimic tried to kill me at first, and then there were demons and dungeon bugs and show stages and all sorts of other things.
I'm not sure how many lives I'd have if I'd just kept going at it. I would have been dead by now.

Huh? It's only been fourteen days! And yet you've already come this far!
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! You're wrong about the fourteen months, aren't you? No, it's still too soon, but ....... Some adventurers said it took them 30 years to finally get here. ....... Some adventurers never made it this far in the first place. ......!

We laughed and said in unison why we were there.

Prine is great.
Ra-kun is amazing.



I nodded at her and she nodded at me.

'I can't believe it. ....... It's too early, it's too crazy....... You must be geniuses, you guys......'
'Prine is a genius, you know?'
'You're a genius, Mr. Ra?'

Hey," they looked at each other and nodded--

No, that's enough. Huh, it's ridiculous to be serious. .................. You'd think I'd say something like that!
'Wow, you scared me!

Captain Kugyu suddenly snapped.

'Look, no matter how talented you are, that's no reason for us mere mortals not to work hard! No matter how great you are, I will never stop walking! Keep the sails up and read the wind!

Captain Kugyu barked as if he blamed himself for losing his motivation, even for a moment.

I understand that, but let me explain something.

'Well, let's see, aside from Prine, I'm not a genius, you know. It's a benefit of skill. And even Prine is doing her best.

'Well, I can see that. Well, I'm sorry for yelling at you. It was my heart. I'm sorry.
'No. ......'

Besides," said Captain Kugyu.

'I can't say for sure that you guys don't work hard ...... because of your talent. I know. Having magical skills doesn't mean you have knowledge. Prine's knowledge is the result of Prine's effort. And turning it into power.

'eh,eh,eh....... Thank you very much ......'

It's the same for Rana. You're much more precise with your magic than you were yesterday. You understand the difference between magical elements. It's hard to believe that you learned it all in one night. Unless you're ready to go over the basics, you won't be able to understand the magical elements.

So I understand," nodded Captain Kugyu.

Rana is certainly not 'good at magic'. But knowing that, she hasn't given up just because she isn't suited for it. --Ha! You're gonna do it. The shortest route to develop your ability is to identify your shortcomings as the first step, to admit them as the second step, and to keep going without giving up, and you will finally become strong. You seem to understand it well, don't you?

I'm surprised. I had no idea that this lousy captain had seen so much of us.

Appearances are deceiving. This man must have lived many times longer than we have.

I bowed my head.

Thank you very much. It was my teacher who taught me that, but I am very happy.

'I don't mind a guy who works hard. Especially those who make an effort to use their head properly.

Captain Kukyu poked his big, cute head. Wow, a third-size race of characters can be so persuasive.

Did you think of something rude just now?
'It's just my imagination.

While looking away from the dickish captain who is giving me the staring contest.

Let's get on with it!
'Oh!
Why are you in charge?

The Titanicco moves forward into the depths of the undersea temple.
