The Adventures of Clara

Exploring the Dungeon

What is a dungeon?

The researchers themselves are still confused about it.

For now, let's take a look at the facts that are already known.

First, a dungeon is a designation for an alternate dimension. Each dungeon has its own inhabitants and is not bound by the rules of the world. So, it was possible that a dungeon had an inverted mountain from the sky, or the presence of three suns, or the absence of gravity.

Second, the emergence of dungeons was extremely random and unpredictable. However, according to recent research it is suspected that dungeons are not formed naturally but are created by someone. Who the creator is is still unknown.

Third, Dungeon dwellers will continue to breed. This means that their numbers will continue to grow but the living space remains. At some point they would break out of the dungeon and mess up in the main world. That is why it is necessary to carry out periodic cleaning if the dungeon is not destroyed.

"Usually every dungeon has a fixed entry point. But it looks like the entrance of this dungeon will appear randomly," explained Pedro.

"Eh, then yeah~ hard dong out of here"

"Hm. Food supplies can last for a week. Two weeks if the limit is to the limit. The problem is the water source" Lial said.

"Don't worry, on the east side there's a lake" Pedro replied

By the way, the sky in this dungeon was purple and there were no celestial objects like the sun or moon.

To facilitate navigation they agreed to make the white castle as the northern point.

"I've checked it at a glance. To the west and south are forested areas. For the inhabitants themselves I am less sure but it seems that the grasslands are inhabited by various reptile creatures.

"Western forests are ruled by primate herds. The southern part is the bird territory. In the middle of it was a giant tree that I thought was a phoenix nest. While in the eastern lake I only saw a giant silhouette that was most likely a dragon" Pedro reported, at length.

Phoenix in the south and dragon in the east. Both of them are opponents that they should avoid as much as possible. But the problem is they have to go to the nest of both.

"It's bad. To secure the water we have to go to the lake. In addition, since the phoenix can exit the dungeon means that there is an exit around the nest," said Lial.

They're mute. Circumstances forced them to enter the enemy's nest which they were supposed to avoid.

"Now what?"

"This place is too open. Let's go to the forest near the lake" proposes Pedro.

Since no one had any other ideas eventually their next goal was decided. Next they dismantled the camp and removed the tracks.

"By the way, where's fat uncle? From there it was invisible."

"Go."

"Where?"

"Either. When I asked, 'It's none of your business, ' she replied."

"God."

Since he left on his own will then if he was in trouble it was none of their business. He's an adult anyway.

It takes about an hour to reach the lake. Mostly because they tried to avoid the battle so chose a detour.

According to Pedro, the monsters here were mostly at the D-C rank. Although not too strong, it is still troublesome if you have to fight the hordes of them. Moreover, Rhino still has not fully healed.

"Waaah!"

There is no word to describe the lake other than, wow!

Just like the lake in Nagara Waterfall, this lake is also very clear. No, it's even much clearer because the water here is crystal clear.

Clara wants to play water again. But he held back his feelings due to the existence of a giant creature deep in the middle of the lake.

If only from its silhouette, the creature looks like a swan. But there is no way a goose can be that big.

"Dragon is sleeping?" ask Clara.

"Maybe. Probably not either. Let's go."

They only paused for a moment before continuing on towards the forest in the south.

It didn't take long before the forest vegetation was right in front of them.

"Mr ...."

Different from the lake, the trees here did not seem any different from the Great Forest of Zura. Clara felt tired from having to once again explore the forest.

"From now on be careful" said Pedro.

Different from the open grasslands, in the forest their vision was bounded by trees.

“Bless the baby. Blessed the buana. Blessed the kartika. Wind, earth, stars, bless. Be light.”

“Bless the ardi. Blessed is the ancala. Blessed be pancalogam. Earth, mountains, metals, bless. Be hard.”

After Clara finished chanting support magic, they immediately entered the forest.

Their goal is to find a cave or other suitable place to be used as a base.

"Be careful!"

Just walked for a moment and they were greeted by a flock of kamikaze birds.

Why call it kamikaze?

Obviously it was because they would slide off the top of the tree, if they did not hit their target they would explode. Yes, they literally explode on their own.

"What the fuck!"

Clara hung on Lial's back as the man dodged the enemy's attack. Uh, why is Clara hanging like that you said?

Kamikaze birds are only as big as fists. The attack was unexpected and very fast. His beak attack was also strong enough to create a hole in Clara's body.

"Sister's spirit."

"Don't move much."

Walk five steps, then the bird strikes came. Walk eight more steps and they will be back in attack.

There's nothing they can do. They can only blindly walk out of the territory of kamikaze birds.

"Dry!" pedro Sahut.

They finally found a cave thanks to the direction of the Hunter. The entrance is a small and somewhat hidden hole.

"It seems to have been inhabited" said Lial.

"Yes. The primate creature I mentioned earlier, there are only five in number" Pedro replied.

"Hows it? Hajar?"

"Gas!"

"Bless the night. Blessed is kartika. Nightly. Star. Be visible."

Clara finished chanting night vision magic. Although only the interior version but should be quite helpful when fighting in a dark place.

First Lial as the vanguard jumped into the cave, followed by Rhino, Pedro, lastly Clara.

The cave is concave without any further way in.

Clara could faintly see an ape-like creature was fast asleep.

The four roads crept closer to them, trying to make a surprise attack.

If each of them managed to kill one then their victory would be guaranteed.

"It's going to be easy" thought the girl.

But his mind proved naive.

Perhaps because they felt the danger sign of the primates suddenly woke up. Fortunately Pedro acted immediately and managed to kill him with one shot.

Lial's sudden attack also managed to cut off the head of one of the primates. While the Rhino only managed to give a scratch because its prey immediately dodged.

Lesson No. 31 Raph, do not use fire magic inside the cave or enclosed space.

Because of that Clara cast another favorite magic, [Marsh].

The primates looked surprised at losing their footing on the muddy ground. Lial immediately seized the opportunity to re-kill one of them.

To his surprise, one of the primates managed to dodge Pedro's arrow. The cramped room really didn't benefit archers like Pedro.

One of the primates regained its balance and jumped towards Clara.

Of the many people why choose the most distant Clara?

The girl began to wonder how bad her luck was.

Clara immediately dodged while chanting ice magic. A sharp, needle-shaped ice formed in the air and shot towards its target.

Unfortunately, the primate managed to catch Clara's ice.

"Yahahh!"

"Be careful."

Seemed annoyed, the primate threw ice in his hand. Clara who did not have time to avoid immediately pulled by Pedro.

Rhino came in to replace Clara against primates. The enemy's movements were ferocious and blindly. Rhino had a bit of trouble fighting him.

Know that the primate's big hands can make cracks in the cave walls. If it gets hit even Rhino will get hurt.

Pedro rushed to help Rhino. He switched weapons using a short sword after learning the primate could catch his arrow.

Pedro sneaks into the back of the primate that is preoccupied by Rhino and tries to attack the head. But his attack failed. The primate managed to dodge in the final seconds.

This moment used Rhino to land the attack. His axe stuck deep on the primate's shoulder.

"Yahahh!"

The primate rebelled violently but his life was soon ended by Pedro's slash.

The primate's head fell down and then rolled towards Clara. It was clearly a hateful expression on the face of a primate.

"Clara's been shit lately."

Lials on the other hand also managed to kill the last primate.

With this the battle ended in the victory of Clara's group.

Who would have thought they would have a little trouble fighting those primates.

"They have crazy reflexes" Lial said.

"The strength of their grip is also very strong. Next time we have to be more careful" added Pedro.

Rhino sat down while leaning against the cave wall. It still seems like it will take some time before he recovers completely.

"I'm going to go get some firewood" said Pedro.

With this they managed to secure a place to serve as headquarters.
