- Chapter 47: Inside the Temple (Pilriff PoV)
I guess the Dungeon Master here is a director, surprisingly.
Such thoughts ran through my mind as I watched the giant Greek-style temple spread out before me.
After all, the space beyond the cave after defeating that loveka was like diving straight into a diving spot that was described as a beautiful sight.
No, maybe it’s more like an artificial theme park.
A forest of jewels and coral is in the temple, and small fish monsters swim around. It’s not like this scenery is natural, I guess.
I’ve been using DP to recreate the sunlight inside the temple. I can get a glimpse of the Dungeon Master’s fixation.
We’re not attacked at all. Could this be a safe zone?
…Or so I thought conveniently, but if I turned off Anti-Search, I might be struck by that huge number of small fish monsters.
It’s so original that all the fish that have become part of the scenery bared their fangs at once.
I shuddered, looking forward to seeing what kind of performance there would be, but of course, I wouldn’t lick it like that.
But I didn’t think I’d see such a nice spot in the Dungeon Battle. I bet everyone who fused was having fun inside the main machine!
I thought about boldly changing into a swimsuit, but there was something I had to try first.
“Mr. Dungeon Master, can you hear me?”
I yell at the top of my lungs. I hear a reply immediately.
“… What’s that?”
A murmured voice. A man’s low voice.
That was close!
In the end, even though she was my opponent to get rid of, I was borrowing Egrentine’s body, so she was going to kill me, telling me not to show it to a man without permission!
“I knew it! You’re looking at me, you pervert!”
This machine announces its anger to the Dungeon Master.
“You’re a Dungeon Master, so of course you’re watching!”
…Dungeon Masters can pay DP to add equipment that lets them see inside the Dungeon. I figured this Dungeon, with so few sections, would probably do it at least nine times out of ten.
But I can’t believe you’ve been watching me this time without telling me! You’re such a bad taster!
“Hmph! If you’ve been watching, there’s only one thing to say. I’ll defeat you with all my might, so use all the traps you have. You don’t want to die without letting them out, do you?”
“You’ll regret it. You’ll end up here…”
“Ah, wait. No spoilers. I’m looking forward to seeing if there’s an instant death trap! Geez!”
I’ll cut off the Dungeon Master’s decisive line.
“I can’t go out with you.”
“Ahaha. See you.”
The comms stopped working. Looks like you do have some aesthetics. You might like him, but he’s the kind of guy who kills people outside the Dungeon in the first place. There’s no need to hold back.
However, it is a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap.
As I thought, when building a dungeon, you must try all the traps you come up with before you can die.
… This machine can now use twelve Race Skills for all four of us.
Saryu-chan’s “Five Senses Enhancement.” “Disease Poison Nullification”. “Item Box”.
Egrentine’s “hardening.” “Tentacle generation” and “identity secret.”
Clary’s Corrosion, Anti-Search, and Self-Part Replication.
And then there’s the ‘Earth Assimilation,’ ‘Remote Control,’ and ‘Neural Connection.’
Just listing skills like this makes me feel like I’m having fun, but the feeling of using people’s skills is irreplaceable.
It’s just that the skills I borrowed this time might be plenty useful in a fight between humans, but it’s not a skill that can easily overturn the difference in monster rank.
Normally, it’s said that D-Rank monsters need ten times as many to win C-Rank monsters… After all, their opponents have useful race skills, too.
There are ten times as many C’s as B’s, so D will need a hundred times more to beat B’s…if it’s simplified.
That’s why the chances of us winning with the four of us’ skills are pretty low.
But that’s only if you’re a monster who hasn’t received Papa’s teachings. If you don’t intend to hunt higher, you won’t aim to conquer the world!
And I like flipping through tough enemies with skill combos because it’s like a card game!
They’d taken a picture of the Ocean Floor Temple, which they’d probably never see again, and grinned as they moved on to the next section, wondering what kind of mechanism awaited them next.
XXXX
However, three minutes later, the machine was to tremble with rage.
“Geez, Egrentine-chan’s skills are way too easy to use!”
Despite being exposed to high-voltage electricity, I took weapons out of my Item Box one by one and threw them away.
…There were four large sections on the map drawn with the iron stakes of Dernata.
In that room, in that room, in the Ocean Floor Temple area, and third, in this electric room area.
There’s always a high-voltage current coursing through every street; for a normal person, it’s an instant-death-class, unavoidable trap!
That master doesn’t have the leeway, does he?!
This machine was avoiding that trap thanks to Egrentine’s skill, Hardening… No, it’s in the middle of evading high praise.
Her “hardening” wasn’t simply a buff that hardened. It was a skill that could turn an entire body into the same component as a shell.
Calcium carbonate, the component of the shell, hardly conducts electricity, so that’s a win! I thought, but it’s turning it into a full-body shot that is hard to move.
That’s why, to defeat the monsters traveling around that area without moving, I used the skill Remote Control, which dealt with tools without touching them, to do my best to use Saryu-chan’s sword and spear and other items I’d taken out to attack
But there’s no way I could beat a C-Rank monster just by controlling a weapon with [Remote Control]. I couldn’t hit a ballista, and the [Bomb] had half the effect underwater…
The silver lining is that thanks to [Stealth], the electric attacks on the other side won’t work either.
That meant three minutes had passed since the situation had reached a stalemate.
At this rate, I’ll run out of mental energy someday, and while I’m thinking about training in Remote Control while I’m still able to move, the lights suddenly turn off.
She must have thought she was so poor because she was so lazy. After all, the owner turned off the lights to call for backup.
A large number of large fish are coming this way. This area must have been unable to get in because of the electricity flowing through it.
However, this was a lucky event for the main machine.
“The concept change hasn’t been beautiful since the enemy arrived. Master of Grabsdred Island!”
If you’ll play rock-paper-scissors later, I’ll call for backup, too!
“’ Even though taboos should have turned to truth,’ ‘my paths remain two.’ ‘Romanticism is a steel steam locomotive that gains organic life and dashes forward.’ ‘Come on! Let’s revolutionize mythology.’ ‘Capitalism is all about perverts.’ “
I touch my cheek with my left hand as I say that. This is a signal to touch the baton! It’s an unnecessary signal, though!
” There are so many weapons scattered all over the place! Make up your mind!”
And so, even as I let go of my consciousness, I send Saru-chan my encouragement.
…After that, the main machine watched her fight in Saryu-chan’s head.
She pulled the weapon that had appeared the moment she stepped out the front, and though it was underwater, she used her main machine’s “Remote Control” to create a foothold. And as she jumped from weapon to weapon, she chopped up the enemy one by one.
He coolly took the weapon and cut down what was in front of him, then pulled a throwing knife out of his Item Box behind him, blinded by it, and plunged his sword into the enemy gills.
Normally, once you become a thief, your body can’t get used to improving your physical abilities, but Saryu-chan didn’t feel even a hair’s breadth from that. She’d been calmly cutting down the enemy like a flowing process.
…Saru-chan is closer to being a Weapon Master in terms of game jobs. She can use anything, and she’s using a skill like a master in battle, scattering things in her Item Box like this.
I can use most of the magic useful in battle, so I guess that means I’m an All-Rounder.
Ahh! I was using the main machine’s [Nerve Connection] just now! Maybe Saru-chan’s jealous! It’s a handy skill that makes inorganic objects feel like a part of their body through their nerves, but Saru-chan seems to have completely sublimated that as a combat skill.
Geez! Why can’t Mask☆DeMasque make conversation between fused materials? I wish it had the function of watching the match with Egrentine and Clary, too!
And before long, even though her Status was no different from the main machine’s, Saryu-chan had annihilated the enemy with simple martial arts alone. Then she sighed and touched her cheek.
Ah, she’s using the signal! Matching Saryu’s gentleness, the machine switches its focus from Saryu to itself again.
“That was splendid.”
I put the items away while thanking her. Damn you, Saryu! You’re pushing all this trouble onto this machine!
“That chant just now was divine protection, huh?”
And just as the main machine picked up a few small items, a voice called out from the Dungeon Master.
Looks like she’s been watching the whole time. Well, I’m sure she will.
“I don’t know! I won’t tell you.”
This machine ignored those words and went ahead. It’d be convenient if you misunderstood.
But that question might have been a diversion. The next moment, the electric room block suddenly began to turn vertically with a rumbling sound.
Then, a torrent immediately formed, and her body was taken away. No, that wasn’t it! This was a free fall!
This machine is falling right now!
” You’re going to use all of the last blocks for this trap? That’s too bold!”
At the end of the hallway was a truly empty, cylindrical space. For the first time, I felt like a flushing toilet was washing me away!
The place where the water flowed was lava, as usual, and it had become a fairly spacious room so that the hand could touch the wall and stop it.
The walls are mechanically stained as if imagining an abandoned area.
This is a temple you can’t break through unless you can fly! You have to have a body that can fly and swim without electricity! Don’t you think you’re asking an intruder a little too much?!
“Ahahahahahaha. But don’t underestimate us too much.”
I promptly activated Egrentine’s handy skill, Tentacle Generation. Even if I can’t fly, I’ll be fine once my hand reaches out!
When I reached Egrentine’s tentacles out, the tentacles reached the loophole in the wall. Maybe it was because it was originally a skill possessed by the giant Egrentine, but twenty meters was empty, even on the wall ahead.
…If I hadn’t made a map first, I might not have thought there’d be a loophole halfway through the huge space.
“Man, that was fun.”
As the machine dangled against the wall with its tentacles, its chest thumped as it murmured.
An instant death trap after a gimmick like a dungeon moving around like that might be a good idea!
The receiving side gets thrills, and the setting gets win-win specs that the other side might die in a panic.
Having a well-crafted trap is nice, but having an entire block full of thrills is exciting.
“Even if he dies, I’ll carry on this idea.”
Smack. I take a picture of that block as a souvenir.
Ah, that was fun! Well then, I guess this is as far as the main machine can go to enjoy the tour.
” more people can enjoy the next block than the main one.”
She looked up at the entrance to the section before her as she spoke.
A large stone door with a sinister pattern was drawn on it that even a giant could pass through. It signaled a duel with his life on the line, proof of the boss room.
