The Train to The Dungeon
Chapter 29: Solo Invasion
Lisa and I arrived at the dungeon. When we got out of the DRT carriage, the dungeon station looked empty. There's only the two of us here. Normally, there were at least a hundred Hunters at a time who entered the dungeon.
“Arka, is it really okay just the two of us?” ask Lisa. The girl walked out of the station following me.
I turned to him. “It's okay, I can handle it.”
“Only by yourself?”
I nodded as I took out my two weapons, Grasscutter and Crimson Edge.
“Are you Hunter Rating S or something?” ask Lisa, suddenly. I'm surprised, it turns out Denis didn't even say I'm a Hunter with no rank.
“Not, I'm not a Hunter Ranking S,” I replied.
Inside the dungeon are ten cave mouths that are winding labyrinthine paths, which can mislead the Hunter. One of those labyrinths was the path to the boss location. I activated Super Sense to search for the whereabouts of this dungeon boss.
A powerful energy radiated from the mouth of cave number three from the side. When I looked into the mouth of the cave, it felt like there was pressure and a gripping air that was more dominant than the other caves. That must be the boss' location. Meanwhile, my Super Sense ability also turned out to be able to sense the presence of other monsters.
My foot that treads on the ground is connected to the entire area within the dungeon, making my eyes seem to be able to see the other parts within the dungeon. This ability allowed me to not only search for the enemy's whereabouts, but also estimate their exact numbers.
My lips were muttering while counting. “Total, there are approximately 300 monsters in this dungeon.” I smiled faintly, impatient to kill those monsters.
In addition to the existence of monsters, sensors from my skin also sent information on the existence of a type of plant in one of the labyrinths. I could clearly see the plant visually inside the head. The stems are black, the flowers are like roses, only I have the petals have an asymmetrical pattern of gold and silver.
“Lisa, what is the name of the plant you are looking for?” my question, suddenly.
“Cadaliflower,” replied the girl while pushing her drooping round stalk of glasses into the nose.
“Do you know where the plant is located?”
Lisa shakes. “The information provided by the Hunter Association is reliable, the plant is in the dungeon of Klender Station, but for its exact location they do not know. Inevitably we have to browse this maze one by one.”
Lisa lowered her head, feeling guilty because it seemed like this task would trouble me.
“Cadaliflower has gold and silver colored flowers, right?”
My words surprised Lisa, but the girl immediately replied, “Iya, right. It's Cadaliflower. The stalk is black, the size of the stem until the flowers are about 30 cm.”
Turns out right, all I saw was a Cadaliflower flower.
“On location, I know where the flower is,” I said.
“How is it possible?” Lisa's choked. “What is the person from Hunter Association who told?”
“No,” I said while sticking a finger on the lip, gesturing to Lisa. “Start from here, everything you see should not be told to anyone.”
“Include Denis?”
“Except Denis.”
Lisa nodded. “I understand, but let me ask ya later.”
“It depends, maybe some can't answer.”
Lisa seemed to object, but she finally nodded as well. I could see his eyes thirsting for answers. Many questions seemed to want to explode from the girl's mouth. But he has to be patient a little. At least, until my work in the dungeon had to be completed first.
The tring!
[Quest: Kill Pinktail Piggy (0/300)]
Kill Bobora Piguie (0/10)]
Message from the system. Again, I feel like this system knows what I need and want. He can give me missions that are in accordance with the current conditions, including when I intend to clean this dungeon alone.
I looked towards Lisa. “Follow me and don't get separated.”
“Good!” Lisa obeyed my words.
I immediately swerved into the mouth of cave number five. My goal is to clear the labyrinth where the Cadaliflower is. The hallway was decorated with fiery torches, but my vision was clear and clear.
I could hear and feel the vibrations from Lisa's movements in the back. Then, 50 meters from the turn to the left there are many footsteps. It must be a dungeon monster.
Right, after I turned, there were ten monsters with the shape and appearance of a pig. They stood on two legs, her body pink, wore simple armor and had one-braided black hair. The pigs were carrying torches and stone axes, instantly advancing at the same time attacking towards me.
My eyes scanned the names of the monsters, a white Pinktail Piggy inscription popping over their heads.
In a moment, I killed all those pig monsters. As soon as Lisa got to the spot, she was surprised to see the corpses of monsters that were scattered along the passageway I passed.
“Lisa!” call me.
Lisa who was still stunned to see the corpses of Class D monsters suddenly turned to the source of the voice.
“Arka?” saith.
“Quickly, don't get too far from me!”
“Good!” Ignoring the scenery around her, Lisa continued to run to my place.
When Lisa arrived at the end of the labyrinth, she saw a vast space filled with Cadaliflower plants. There are some blood spots on top of the flower. I just killed some Pinktail Piggy hiding among the Cadaliflower flowers.
It seemed like they were standing guard there and ready to ambush anyone who stopped to pick up the flowers.
I saw the system screen. Not until the 30 Pinktail Piggy I killed. Inevitably, I had to immediately move to the other hallway to hunt down the rest of them.
“Excellent, you actually killed them all by yourself.” Lisa was amazed.
“How many plants will you collect?” I asked while cleaning up the remaining blood in Grasscutter and Crimson Edge blades.
“One hundred flowers,” Lisa replied while kneeling. Lisa turned her hand in hand, she uttered something like a mantra. Instantly appears a circle with a fairly bright yellow bias.
“That's right..,” I'm stunned to see Lisa's ability.
“It's space creation ability,” Lisa smile small. “If I'm a Fighter, but I'm trying to learn this technique in order to work practically.”
From within the bias, Lisa stuck out her hand and took out a thick book, a shovel, and a sack— for the purpose of identifying and digging plants.
Although each Hunter had element control abilities, only a handful could learn space creation abilities. The function of the space is the same as the inventory system that I have, can be to store objects. Only, the storage capacity in the Hunter room, was generally smaller and limited.
“How much is the maximum capacity of that space?” my many.
“Only three,” replied Lisa timidly. “The price of items to increase this ability is very expensive, but I feel it has been very helped even though the capacity is small.”
Somehow Lisa's reaction if I know I have storage space with a hundred capacity—which can even be added.
“Lisa, you stay here and collect Cadaliflower.” plants I gave instructions.
“You want to go?”
“True, I have to clean this dungeon.”
“Owny? Against boss?”
I smiled at him before leaving. From a distance, I saw that Lisa who was initially stunned had now refocused on digging the ground to harvest the Cadaliflower.
