Vampire Prince Trapped Into a Hunter
Chapter 61 – REUNION UNDER DARK DUNGEON bag. 3
“Woi, Jenny! What are you doing there?! We must hurry the preparations to enter the dungeon! Hurry here!”
“Good, Sir!”
Just before Kak Jenny will issue her answer about the reason for her interest in the past of the country that is almost forgotten by everyone, the past glory days of the Sunda Empire, the past, the vice guild master called out to him loudly in preparation to enter the dungeon.
I followed him in the back to monitor him.
There was not much I had to prepare other than a large pouch bag that if widened would probably be three times the size of my size.
As a porter on this mission, my only task is to collect all the valuable treasures discovered by the expedition members while in the dungeon.
Professor Fritz has told me before that this role as a porter is just a cover.
If they were serious about mining more treasures from within the dungeon, they would have already hired many miners to join them.
In fact, they only brought an additional porter on the grounds of saving funds.
They did not reveal their true intentions, but neither Professor Fritz nor Grandma Litana, could already guess what they wanted.
They wanted to use the specificity of the low-powered would-be hunters where the power had not been much tainted in order to complete this special dungeon to open the secret door without activating the extremely dangerous trap.
They would violate the laws of the country if they expressed their intentions plainly, but instead of the academy chief also blamed this decision of theirs.
That is why in silence, without a covenant of words, they agree on this without anyone discussing the obvious.
However, my safety during my time in the dungeon was ensured to be well maintained so that the academy gave their green light.
After a long preparation, we began to enter the dungeon.
There were 21 people who entered, twenty from the Lephirum guild plus myself as their porter.
Once inside, I could see a gloomy and somewhat dark nuance even though the time inside the dungeon should have been past dawn.
Despite this, though, the hot and humid feeling of the tropical forest is so pronounced that my skin feels so bad that I want to take a shower to clean my body full of sweat and something full of this sticky feeling.
At first everything went well, but suddenly the fog around us thickened.
“Dik Arno, stay alert behind me.”
Sister Kina immediately stood before me in case of an impromptu attack.
Then at some point, the sunlight was completely blocked by the fog.
The feeling of heat and humidity that was initially felt also suddenly turned into a horror feel that was so cold.
I felt shivering all over my body and I could feel all my hair goosebumps.
Suddenly the ground trembled around us then wild roots appeared everywhere from within the ground.
Funny thing is, it didn't attack me at all.
They really are monsters that move instinctively to target food with the greatest intake of mana alone.
As the lowest mana owner in this group, there is indeed no reason for those monsters to target me.
I also used the opportunity to see how professional hunters fight.
It was really a very pretty move even it was completed just like that without any monster succeeding in hurting me, no, even realizing my existence alone was never.
“Levina, how? Have you found it?”
To Kak Kina's question, the brother called Levina also shook his head in a sign of no information development at all.
Right at the moment we entered the dungeon, Sister Levina had spread small granules scattered everywhere to the various sides of the dungeon.
It was to detect a space whose flow of mana felt different from where it should be.
But far away, apparently still no clue.
“Let me check some weird places there, Kak.”
“Something weird there? Levina, do you feel something too?”
“No, Chairman.”
“…”
“…”
“There is no harm in trusting instinct even if it is as small as it is, right?”
“Alright, then I'm coming.”
After giving his team a cue, he, Kak Kina although it looks still dubious my words finally chose to come with me to a strange appearance that I found from the detection skill Anto strangely completely undetectable by Kak Levina's style where the others stay on stand by in case something bad happens.
But suddenly, though,
-krangs.
A snake almost swallowed me alive.
As soon as I looked back, apparently Kak Kina who was clearly from earlier I could still feel that her existence had disappeared behind me.
There was no feeling at all that bad things had started to happen when I stepped foot into something that seemed to be a trap of that monster, he said, even Anto who was much more sensitive to killing from me couldn't feel it either.
If it wasn't for someone pulling me back, I would have been inside that monster's belly by now.
But wait a minute, shouldn't the forest area filled with tree monsters ever be able to live animal-type monsters because they would only be instantly subjected to soft food for these starving trees?
No, before that, I have to thank Brother Jenny for saving my life.
I still can't believe that in that short time he was able to save me when he was a battle mage who should have focused on long-range attacks, moreover he was still a D rank hunter.
In fact, his agility was like an assassin class.
“Thank you, Brother Jenny.”
“Shhh.”
But Brother Jenny immediately put the tip of her index finger on my lips while smiling mischievously as a sign that for a while I should remain silent.
“It is not a basilisk, but a plant called georapadtra that can paralyze you instantly and then pulverize your body in a moment with its acidic liquid. He detects enemies through bad breath so that an amateur hides his bad breath like you should not open his mouth first.”
I don't know why I'm a little upset about Kak Jenny's talk even though I know she didn't mean to say that my breath stinks.
But before I could realize it, Brother Jenny had quickly floated her fire magic to burn down the georapadtra monsters.
No, it turned out that the snake-like figure was not the real body. What became the original body of the georapadtra monster was a large tree in the middle of the collection of snakes. The snakes were nothing but an extension of the branch of the tree which quickly grew back once it was destroyed.
But in the next move, Brother Jenny no longer uses magic, but her dagger.
He quickly slashed through each extension of the limb before it perfectly resembled a snake.
He knew that he was right in front of the tree and fired magic at close range which immediately destroyed the tree to the roots.
This was the quality of the weakest member of the guild called Lephirum.
In my eyes, it did not appear at all that he was weak.
No, Sister Jenny is really strong.
