I Reincarnated as the Mob Flame User Destined to Die in the Early Stages of the Game, but When I Cleared the Event Before the Protagonist, the Heroines Followed Me

Chapter 30 – The Black Knight

[Dust’s POV]

Damnit! There was no Karma Ticket in the Kobold Dungeon.

But it’s not over yet.

There’s an orc camp between North City and the Capital.

Since that place is close to the Capital, people from the empire probably won’t be able to get their hands on it easily.

I headed to the orc camp.

What the hell?!! What the hell is going on?!!

There is no orc camp!

No, there are signs of it being burnt down.

Did the folks from the Capital wipe out the Orcs?

Moreover, in the game, everyone in the village or town I visited was troubled!

But no events have occurred!

What’s happening?!!

If this continues, I won’t be able to accumulate my Brave Points!

“…Maybe I can find something if I go to the capital.”

If it’s the Capital, some kind of event is bound to happen.

The Capital is a treasure trove of events.

With that in mind, I headed for the Capital.

After a while, I finally arrived near the royal capital.

However, someone who shouldn’t be in my sight jumped in front of me. I immediately dove into the forest.

The Black Knight! He’s the final boss of the first playthrough!

Why now? No events happened until now!

But why does his event occur?!

This is near a forest where there are a lot of monsters.

If this were a game, I could’ve used a Karma Ticket to get through, but I don’t have one right now.

It’s all because of Gett.

Damnit! It’s because I used the Karma Ticket to kill him!

That damned Gett!

Still, my Stealth level is high.

Even though he’s the final boss, I won’t be easy to find.

At that moment, The Black Knight turned towards me.

“You, what are you doing for?”

“Aaaaahh!”

I fled into the forest. I ran away with all my might.

[Escape Feet LV1 obtained]

As expected of me.

I’ve awakened to a new skill!

[Escape Feet LV has increased from 1 to 2]

Wow! Just how amazing can I be?!

My levels are skyrocketing!

I managed to escape!

Then, I checked my status.

Dust, Human Male

Level: 25

HP: 175 B

MP: 175 B

Physical attack: 175 B

Physical defense: 175 B

Magic attack: 175 B

Magic defense: 175 B

Speed: 175 B

Unique skill: Hero

Skills: “Sword LV12”, “Stealth LV24”, “Heal LV5”, “Recovery LV3”, “Fire LV3”, “Storage LV2”, “Wind LV1”, “Rock LV1”, “Ice LV1”, “Gravity LV1”, “Light LV1”, “Escape Feet LV2”

Weapon: Iron sword: 150

Armor: Iron armor: 70, Battle boots: 40

My stats really are terrifying.

Ordinary soldiers are only level 10, and weapons are level 10 at most.

But I’ve gone even further than that.

What’s more, I’ve mastered attack magic of all attributes, even managed to escape from The Black Knight, even awakening a new skill.

I climbed to this height without much effort.

Life is truly too easy!

“Huahahahaaaaa!!!”　

[Gett’s POV]

I opened my status and sighed.

Gett, Human Male

Level: 50

HP: 500 SS

MP: 350 B

Physical attack: 300 C

Physical defense: 500 SS

Magic attack: 500 SS

Magic defense: 200 E

Speed: 350 B

Unique skill: Fire Enhancement

Skills: “Mace LV47” “Shield LV40” “Fire LV52” “High Fire LV41” “Exfire LV40” “Heal LV27” “Recovery LV9” “Trap LV22” “Treasure Sense LV19” “Storage LV29”

Weapon: Flame Mace: 250 (Fire magic +30%)

Armor: Protective Shield: 150 (Slight HP Regeneration), Red robe: 90, Hybrid boots: 60

Estelle: Favorability: 43

I’m not strong enough.

While increasing speed helps me land hits, it hurts that my physical attack talent is only rated C.

When I defeated the Bandits’ Chief Gills, I had to repeatedly attack with my mace.

Even with a party, Estelle is mainly for healing, and Alicia and I do the attacking, but we need more firepower to go beyond the 31st floor of the hidden dungeon.

It’d be great if Claire, an attacker, was around, but things don’t always work out that conveniently.

I’ve relied too much on Exfire until now.

It will be difficult to increase Exfire’s level unless I increase Fire’s level.

And before that, I need to increase the levels of my Mace and Shield, or I’ll struggle against the Level 31 Lizardmen.

The equipment made by my father is stronger than the weapons in the Capital.

Should I go back to the village for now?

I want to see Old Man Zes too.

If I’m going to go to the hidden dungeon again, I’ll have to prepare my equipment first.

We left the dungeon and headed straight to the main road, aiming for the capital.

We need to report to the King about the state of the dungeon, although we haven’t achieved much.

There was talk about marriage, but nothing has progressed yet.

Well, maybe I’ve become slightly stronger than before entering the dungeon.

Suddenly, I saw The Black Knight standing in front of me.

This guy… He’s the final boss of the first round of the game.

I sweated nervously as I tried to pass him without drawing attention.

I guess it worked out.

Is it because I’m a mob that he didn’t notice me?

“Wait!”

The Black Knight suddenly called out to me.

I looked back, sweating profusely.

“What is it?”

“Why are you in such a hurry? What’s with the sweat?”

“I was walking down the road, and suddenly this strong-looking guy covered in black armor approached me. It’s normal to feel scared.”

“Hmm, am I scary?”

“You are, nyaa!!”

“Forgive me, but I can’t consider someone who wears heavy armor like that and remains composed as ordinary.”

“Hmph, so my presence instills fear in those around me. It cannot be helped.”

After saying that, the Black Knight left, looking satisfied.

“That person in the black armor is no ordinary person. There is no stagnation in the flow of magical power, and I think he is quite skilled at magic.”

“I knew he was strong just by looking at his movements, nyaa.”

“And his appearance is scary too.”

The final boss event did not occur.

I was worried about my stats and equipment until just now, but being a mob isn’t so bad after all!

Looks like I didn’t need to use the Karma Ticket.
