The Unexpected Dungeon

“No way, …… dungeon!”

I mutter as I look at the bat-like creature in front of me.

I thought it couldn’t be that stupid, but I could only assume it was true under the circumstances.

I’m not sure how it could be so, but even if it was, why would it be in a place like this ……?

“Anyway, let’s find out. ……”

I prepared to step over the bat carcass, use my [Stealth] skill, and then go down the stairs.

At the end of the stairs, there was a candlestick passage and a lit fire on the candlestick. And I can see some things by the light of the candlestick fire.

” It’s …… confirmed. ……”

What I could see by the lights was a swarm of bats that I had knocked down on the ground.

And not just a few of them, but dozens of them.

“Seriously, ……?”

After confirming that, I go back up the stairs to the ground level.

“Huh,…… I knew it was a dungeon. But why here? I’m pretty sure there were no dungeons around here.”

As far as I recall about dungeons, there were no dungeons around here.

Even if Labyrinthianism hid this dungeon, it would be meaningless unless we could do something about the monsters.

Or rather, that monster would overflow from the dungeon.

I secretly use [Appraisal] on that monster, but its level is around 500. A newbie explorer couldn’t defeat a monster with that level.

But

“If the Dragon’s Eye is involved in this, that would explain it, right?”

There is a strong possibility that Labyrinthianism and the Dragon’s Eye are connected.

If they form a party with multiple members of the Dragon’s Eye execution unit, there shouldn’t be any problems.

And if this is a dungeon, I don’t know why Labyrinthianism took Rina with them.

When they didn’t take Rin or Anju, it’s clear that they’re targeting Rina personally this time, not the 18-year-old status holder.

It’s not about human trafficking, is it?

“If that’s the case, I’m not sure what they’re after anymore.”

What do they want by bringing us to the dungeon?

Even if their purpose locked her in a dungeon with monsters, if there were strong explorers, they would break through in no time.

“……Well, I guess I  have to rescue Rina first. I told her to contact Rin and the others at …….”

After saying this, I took out my phone and sent a text message to Rin and the others.

A dungeon is a very popular place for people who want to explore the world.

There should be some movement now.

“Well, let’s get going then.”

As I say this, I activate [Stealth] again and start going down the stairs again.

The destination of the stairs was the same as when I checked earlier, there was a swarm of bat monsters.

There were many bat monsters, and since they flew in the sky, they could evade my attacks in a normal fight.

But I am not normal and use sure-hit long-range attacks.

It’s a great match.

“Multiple Lock-On. Magic arrow.”

I use [Multiple Lock-On] to lock all the bat monsters, and then shoot a magic arrow from my bow.

The invisible arrows pierced the bat monsters one after another, pinned them against the wall, and killed them all.

“…… Okay. That worked.”

It went better than I thought it would.

I thought this way would consume less MP than creating two hands full of [Magic Arrow].

Well, I can’t be all happy about it.

Let’s keep going.
