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 45 - Dungeon Raid as a 4-Man Party

Chapter 45 – Dungeon Raid as a 4-Man Party

I battled Old Man Zes, Claire, and Alicia 3 on 1.

Old Man Zes and Claire kept attacking from the front, and Alicia attacked from my blind spot.

I had to do this much to increase my Shield level.

Since it was 3 to 1, I was sure to take attacks.

As a result, my Shield level started to rise.

While I was resting in the shade, I heard several soldiers’ voices. They don’t seem to notice me.

“You know, I always thought Captain Claire was a genius.”

“What’s up all of a sudden?”

“Well, you know. I just realized that strong people actually put in effort.”

“Is it because of Lord Zes’ training?”

“Yeah. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to endure that training.”

“Me too.”

“People who become stronger have a different mindset to us.”

“You know, I think I can become stronger if I train that much, but I just can’t do it.”

“It’s usually impossible. People who can withstand Lord Zes’ training may have talent.”

“That’s right. In the first place, it’s amazing that they don’t collapse when their MP runs out.”

“Normally, you’d collapse or feel terrible. Just getting used to feeling terrible when your MP runs out is impressive in itself.”

“You know, I decided to become a soldier after Lord Gett and Lady Estelle’s party saved my village. But at first, I was all fired up to become a soldier, but I feel like I’m not doing well at all.”

“No, you’re one of the strongest among the soldiers.”

“Yeah, you suddenly came and surpassed everyone.”

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

“Huh?”

“Oi! You there! Stop slacking off!”

“Oh no! Let’s get back to training!”

In the game, they’re just normal soldiers, but soldiers also have their own conflicts and worries.

Of course, this isn’t a game.

When I finished my break and went back to training, Old Man Zes told me.

“Even if all three of us fight against Gett, it’s becoming difficult to raise the level of Shield.”

“There’s too much of a difference in level between us and Gett. Gett’s level is so high that we can’t keep up with Gett’s training.”

“Yes, I see. I got to raise the level this high already. It’s all thanks to everyone. Next, I want to fight monsters and raise everyone’s level.”

Estelle strengthened her light magic, and Alicia raised her weapon level.

Claire trained in body strengthening, swordsmanship, and weapon enhancement.

Even though all three of them raised their talent ranks by two, it started to become difficult for my Shield and Mace levels to increase.

The way for me to become stronger is through equipment, but it seems like it takes time for my father to make my equipment.

Next, we’ll raise everyone’s level.

I, Alicia, Estelle, and Claire headed to the hidden dungeon as a party.

On our way, we had a normal conversation.

“Speaking of which, what’s going on with the Empire now?”

“Right now, it doesn’t seem like they’re attacking.”

“However, it’s only a matter of time before they attack. Fortunately, Lord Zes is training the soldiers. There shouldn’t be any problems with the soldiers’ training.”

“Last time, we stopped in front of the Lizardmen on the 31st floor of the dungeon.”

“But now Claire is with us. Besides, I don’t need an escort. I’ll protect myself.”

“That’s right. Estelle has also become stronger. Let’s go to the 31st floor of the hidden dungeon.”

We headed to the dungeon.

[Hidden Dungeon 31st Floor]

Kishhaaaaaa!

We encountered 13 Lizardmen.

“Fire Shield!”

A large flame shield appeared in front of my shield.

With that flame shield held up, I charged at the Lizardmen.

Blocking the flames spewed by the Lizardmen, I sent them flying.

After me, Alicia and Claire attacked the Lizardmen from the side.

Claire’s sword and body were covered with magic energy, and when she slashed a Lizardman with her sword, the Lizardman received a large wound and received another two attacks before collapsing.

As expected of an attacker.

With higher levels, she’ll be able to defeat them in one blow.

Alicia also skillfully moved around and defeated a Lizardman with a series of attacks while dodging their attacks.

I couldn’t fall behind either.

“Fire Boost!”

Fire Boost increases my attack power, and though it doesn’t add fire attribute, it’s effective against the Lizardmen.

I took down Lizardmen with my shield and mace.

One of the Lizardmen started attacking Estelle, but she dodged the attack with her staff and used the opportunity to heal Claire.

Estelle…she’s become stronger.

Two more Lizardmen shifted their targets to Estelle.

But that’s no problem.

“No problem! Protect!”

It’s a light magic that nullifies a certain amount of damage for a limited time.

Estelle was attacked, but the attacks were blocked by a barrier of light and nullified.

In that moment, we reduced the number of Lizardmen and defeated the ones attacking Estelle.

“We’re doing great! Let’s keep going!”

From the 31st to the 40th floor, the terrain was hot, with jungles and volcanoes, and there were many monsters with fire resistance. However, I steadily defeated the monsters with my Mace and Shield with the help of everyone as we advanced.

Then, I got equipment to increase Alicia’s favorability.

In this dungeon, you can acquire favorability-raising equipment.

In the second playthrough of the game, three more characters joined the party, and you can also get equipment to increase their favorability.

Well, it’s not like they’ll sell for much, so let’s just store them in Storage.

[Hidden Dungeon 41st Floor]

“We’ve finally made it this far.”

When we arrived at the 41st floor, the ground was covered in white snow, and the branches of the trees were piled up like blooming snow.

From here, a cold field lay ahead.

An ice golem about 3 meters tall set its sights on me.

“High Fire!”

But I defeated the ice golem in an instant.

From here, it’s a feast for fire magic.

I can swiftly annihilate them with my fire magic.

“We can predict how things will develop from here, can’t we?”

“Gett’s fire magic is unrivaled.”

I continued to use fire magic earnestly.

A snow rabbit appeared.

“Fire!”

I also defeated the snow rabbit with one hit.

A flock of white wolves appeared.

“High Fire!”

I defeated the flock of white wolves.

An ice dragon appeared.

“Exfire! Exfire! Exfire!”

I also defeated the ice dragon with fire magic.

To be honest, I was nervous, but it was apparently easier than I expected.

“We’re already on the 49th floor. Do you want to continue to the end?”

“No, let’s go home.”

The boss on the 50th floor is strong.

We might even get wiped out.

Besides, it’s not a good idea to leave the Capital for too long.

It’s necessary to return home regularly.

“I have a suggestion. Let’s rest at the safe zone on the 30th floor before we go back.”

“That’s a good idea. I’m sure everyone’s tired.”

We reached the safe zone and took a good rest.
