Dungeon And Slave: The Lustful and Violent Slave Harem of the Guard and Students Chosen as Testers for the Succubus Dungeon

Chapter 19: Third Floor Exploration

Tester Life Day 6, Test Dungeon Third Floor, Yagumo Sanada

Passing through the gate, a familiarly spacious cave spread before me.

No, looking closer, there were no small tunnels in the left and right walls where Horn Rabbits lurk.

“Different monsters, huh.”

Horn Rabbits, ambush specialists, wouldn’t roam the ground. It’s reasonable to expect new monsters.

I drew my machete from my waist and cautiously walked the main route.

Scanning my surroundings, I noticed more side tunnels than on the second floor.

“This is gonna be a hassle.”

More side tunnels mean more time exploring.

Grumbling, I checked the nearest one.

The side tunnel was narrower than the main route, wide enough for three people abreast. The ceiling was low, maybe two meters.

I went deeper but hit a dead end quickly.

No treasure chest, so I returned to the main route and headed for the next side tunnel, spotting a figure deep inside.

Not human—I’m the only one on this floor. Must be a monster.

I stopped, set down my backpack, readied my machete, and waited at the entrance.

Soon, a gray-furred, beast-like creature, chest-high, emerged from the tunnel.

Without hesitation, I swung my machete down on its head.

With a squelch, it collapsed, its skull split.

I looked down at it, blood and brain matter spilling, twitching on the ground.

It was a gray-furred dog.

About 120 cm long, with thick arms and legs, suggesting strong muscles.

I know this bipedal dog monster from manga and anime—Kobold.

“So, third floor’s monsters are Kobolds.”

This’ll be easy.

Way better than Horn Rabbits, ambush specialists jumping out unpredictably.

I’m better at humanoid combat. This floor’ll be less mentally taxing.

“But this machete cuts like crazy.”

I didn’t expect to bisect a skull.

Its sharpness is leagues above my old machete. No warping or chipping. Definitely not regular iron. I’ll call it the black iron machete from now on.

Naming it plainly while eyeing the black blade, the Kobold dissolved into black particles.

I picked up the magic stone it left.

“Looks like the Big Horn Rabbit’s stone. So, Kobolds are F+ rank monsters?”

Nice—F+ stones are worth three times F-rank, 90 DP each.

Easier to kill than Horn Rabbits with triple the income—pushing forward was the right call.

Now, how many appear at once? Based on trends, probably two max on this floor.

I’ll fight them head-on next.

The surprise attack didn’t reveal the Kobold’s strength. Its muscle mass suggests decent power and speed.

I slung my backpack, stayed alert, and ventured deeper.

“Woof!”

A Kobold feinted cockily and swiped with sharp claws. I stepped back, dodging, and swung my machete in return.

“Hmph!”

“Yelp!”

Slashed from shoulder to chest, the Kobold staggered a few steps and collapsed.

It soon dissolved into black particles.

In the past hour, I killed ten. Kobolds, as expected, were strong and fast.

They usually charge straight, but some, like this one, throw light feints.

Still, they only scratch or bite. Despite bipedal, they don’t even try kicking.

I’m confident I could take three with ease.

Easy to fight without ambush worries. Despite many side tunnels, exploration won’t take as long as I thought.

The only downside is Kobold encounters are less frequent than Horn Rabbits. Horn Rabbits popped up every 2–3 minutes, but Kobolds are every 5 minutes. Even with triple-value stones, I might not earn as much as hoped.

Guess it’s not that easy.

Thinking that, I picked up the stone, tossed it into my backpack, and moved on.

After two more hours of exploration, I ended the day’s scouting and headed back.

Reaching the first floor’s transfer room, I opened the rock auto-door and exited the side tunnel to the main route.

Passing students looked at me curiously, but I ignored them and headed for the exit.

From their reactions, no one’s reached the second floor yet.

The Battle Sports Club and kendo club parties I passed on day one might find the first floor’s Guardian room soon.

Or so I thought, but reaching the safe zone plaza, I saw the Battle Sports Club, kendo club, karate club, and even teachers in groups, spreading out bento and drinks on the floor, partying.

All in tracksuits or sweats, they didn’t look like they explored today.

Come to think of it, the fountain area was quiet this morning.

They took a break?

It’s day six since the abduction. Thrown into a deadly dungeon, exhausting mind and body to earn a living, it’s natural to rest once you can.

“…Maybe I should rest too.”

I cleared the second floor. Time for a break.

Yeah, I’ll rest after clearing one or two floors from now on.

Thinking that, I opened My Room’s door, set down my backpack, removed my gear, and headed to the shower.

Just thinking about today’s Wall Butt got my cock rock-hard, but I calmed it and washed off sweat.

In a shirt and underwear, I plopped onto the bed and chugged the leftover sports drink.

“Phew…”

Knowing tomorrow’s a rest day lightened my mood. I might be more mentally tired than I thought.

At the academy, I hit brothels weekly or watched videos and digital manga to unwind.

This place has nothing, but Wall Butt keeps it from getting boring.

“Hmm, maybe I’ll enjoy Wall Butt slowly today and tomorrow, no time pressure.”

If a new girl shows, I’ll do lots of foreplay. If the masochist succubus comes, I’ll drive her wild with clothespin hell.

If the tanned big-sister or bratty succubus shows… I’ll give up. Their seduction and taunts are irresistible.

“But first, cash in.”

I removed the looted weapons and armor tied to my backpack, propped them in a corner, and grabbed the lightened backpack, heading to the desk.

Starting the magic crystal, I saw, as expected, a bell icon with “1” and clicked it.

As a reward for the first Second Floor Guardian defeat, 30,000 DP (1/1) is granted. Accept? (Yes/No)

“30,000, huh. First floor was 20,000, so it increases by 10,000 per floor?”

Last time, I got an extra 50,000 DP for being the first overall to defeat a Floor Guardian, but not this time. Checking the old notice, it said “first among all testers to defeat a Floor Guardian,” not tied to the first floor. So, that was a one-time, one-group-only reward.

“Still, 30,000 DP’s nice.”

Next, I piled the magic stones from my backpack onto the black flagstone’s magic circle for cashing.

The result: 6,900 DP total.

I killed about 35 Kobolds, so probably 125 F-Rank stones for 3,750 DP and 35 F+ stones for 3,150 DP.

Finally, I cashed in items—just copper coins.

The coins gave 900 DP. With stones, that’s 7,800 DP.

Scouting a new floor earned about the same as yesterday. Next exploration should yield more.

I found six chests, including the Guardian’s. The haul:

- Club ×1

- Leather Boots ×1

- Throwing Knives ×2

- Wooden Small Shield ×1

- Large Copper Coins ×6

- Small Copper Coins ×30

- Black Iron Machete ×1

- Robe ×1

The usual dud club, no potions this time. But the leather boots and Guardian chest’s black iron machete and robe were hits, making it a good haul.

With today’s cash-in and 30,000 DP reward, my balance crossed 110,000 DP, breaking 1 million yen. Solo’s lucrative.

Done cashing, I felt my backpack was too small, so I bought a large mountaineering backpack from the shop. I also got a leather pouch for belting potions and extra rope for tying looted gear.

Then, I bought dinner sets, savoring two portions of tempura meals.

Belly full, it was time for the awaited Wall Butt.

Wonder who’ll show up today—can’t wait.
