Volume 13 Chapter 16: 1st Floor
“I won’t be able to watch all of you. So I leave it to your discretion to make moves based on the team.” He was only one man. Given the number of monsters that would attack him, he must focus on guarding rather than giving commands.
"Understood!"
“Now, let’s head in!” With his words, the group started to head down into the dungeon. Krystal muttered, “So Keith, what kind of dungeon did you bring us to today?”
“Oh, a B-rank dungeon. It’s more of a middle-end dungeon. However, there are a lot of monsters here. So treat this as like an A-rank dungeon.” Dungeons were split into different rankings depending on the situation. It was differentiated so as to give adventurers another safety measure when exploring. The one he chose was filled with many monsters. It was perfect for a giant party like theirs.
As they entered the first area, it was a marsh area. It was filled with giant lake areas. They could see adventurers' parties fighting there as well.
“Be careful of those lakes. Fishes burst out and will try to snap you like a twig."
“Say what?”
“They’re called crush snappers. They literally crush and rip you apart.” The name came from the snapping sound it made as it crushed the bones of its victims.
“...Keith, did you have to make it sound so diabolical?” Just hearing how he explained it was enough to cause them to shiver.
“What? As long as you know where you move, plus not getting near the lake, you'll be fine." The only issue was that these fishes came from the lake, which they couldn't see through. Also,
“They will only get an arm or a leg. They’re not that big.” That was the other thing as he pointed at the side where an adventurer was beating up a snapper. It was the size of the forearm, which was not that small. But that was when he added,
“Also, they’re quite delicious. I heard that when it’s grilled over a fire…” Keith didn’t even finish the sentence, as a few were drooling at his words.
“Keith, say no more! We’re on it!” Herrick and Melor were prepared to capture the lot. However, Keith shook his head, “We’re not going to do that. Actually, I have a plan.”
“Eh?”
“Ayaka, you‘re going to be doing this.”
“So, make cubes and bring them up?”
“Yep, how did you know?” Keith never told her about his plan. But that was when the fox explained,
“That’s because my brother told me how you dived into the water and used ice magic to make them float up.”
“Hahah. So can you do something like that? I’ll help out as well.” The two started to make ice cubes in the lake, and out came some crazy fish. It was quite something.
“Woah, these things are quite hefty.” Those rigid teeth stuck in the ice were still so dangerous and deadly.
Keith nodded, “Indeed, one nick from this and your hand is gone.” While discussing this, one snapper jumped out of the sea, and its target was Lucy!
Slash! However, it never landed on her because someone had cut down the monster without hesitation.
“Be careful, Lucy. You’re the healer of the group." Sarah and Lucy. Those two needed the protection the most.
“Yes!”
“Lucy, are you hurt?” Muriel walked over to her. But the woman shook her head, “No, I’m fine.” The snapper had caught her off guard. But it wasn’t enough to frazzle her to oblivion.
“Thank you so much, Gabriel.”
“We’re a party; we need to watch out for one another.” He grins. His job was simple and straightforward enough. He would be the one to chain all of Keith's commands and back to the others. It would be difficult to do so.
“...Yeah,” Lucy mumbled as the group continued onwards. That was when they arrived at the second floor. Keith explained, “So this one is interesting as it’s split into two different zones.”
“For the first half, you have an area where vegetables and trees grow.” It was quite an interesting sight. However, as they continued to move, Keith noticed an oddity. That was because there was something that caught his eye. It was none other than a vegetable.
“A pink potato?” It looked somewhat cute floating on top of the water, minding its own business. Keith was curious. A potato growing in a pond? Who wouldn't be curious? As he raised his hand to grab it, that was when the small potato slipped away!
“...” Keith did it again, and that was when the potato continued to slip out of his hand. It looked like a bad gag. But Herrick sighed as he raised his fist, “Let me do this!’ It was odd to see him having this much trouble over a damn potato. However, when he tried to pick it up with his hand, he also realized the situation.
“Why is it so damn slippery?!” That was something the two had not encountered before. The potato was so slippery that each time, they tried to grab onto it. The only thing that happened was it slipping away.
“Try two hands.” Carolyn chimed in. And that was what he did, but it was like playing a game in which it was sent flying again! This was not normal at all!
“...”
