Chapter 274: 279

Chapter 279: Taught a Lesson

Tauro spent his first night in the dungeon, but was able to greet the morning without incident thanks to the wards that the support team attached to the capture group had put up using magic stones to ensure the safety of the path.

“A magic tool that can create wards ……. I wonder if I can do it too?”

Tauro pondered this convenience.

“Tauro-dono, let’s get going. The Capturers  seem to be moving around in the dungeon more than expected. My men tell me that the wards and traces left behind by the support group to ensure their safety and to serve as landmarks are everywhere”

Thereupon Tsugumi, the leader of the escort team, urged Tauro to depart.

It seems that the capture team is having more trouble with the 202nd level than expected.

It is such a large dungeon that it is not easy to find a stairway to the lower levels.

“I understand. Let’s catch up with them as soon as possible and replenish their supplies.”

Tauro nodded and continued on with the group.

How long have we walked, the sun is high in the sky, it’s probably around noon in this dungeon.

With this in mind, Tauro’s “true eye” caught sight of a figure in the forest a short distance away.

It was a group of people with high inhibiting abilities.

In Tauro’s “true eye,” the outline of the group appeared to glow, indicating the characteristics of those using inhibition-type abilities.

They seemed to have noticed us, too, and were coming toward us through the forest.

“Are You guys the supply group? Thank you! What’s going on?  Wait a minute, why is Tauro-dono here?”

The first words were words of gratitude from the woman who was leading the group, but when she saw that Tauro was a member of the group, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

“…… actually──”

Tsugumi explained to the leader of this support group on behalf of the group.

“…… supply is indeed an important mission, but we are not amateurs either. We use supplies in a trimmed-down manner in case of unforeseen circumstances. So, in such cases, even if there is a delay, we can leave it to other supply groups. How dare you bring Tauro-dono to a dangerous place! You are also thoughtless, Tauro-dono. Of course, we appreciate your cooperation in this important matter. It is also because of its importance that it is Tauro-dono who holds our lifeline in your hands. We cannot allow you to take such a risk. The rest of you, please get in line. To begin with…”

The female leader of the support team began to lecture Tsugumi, Tauro, and all the members of the escort team after they were all lined up in a row.

“So, we will accompany you to where the capture group is. Is that clear?”

After a long sermon, the female leader of the support team agreed to accompany Tauro and his team.

“But don’t you support group members have other important duties to perform?”

Tauro asked, not wanting to intrude.

“Originally, we have a wide range of tasks, such as ensuring the safety of the route from the stairs to the Capture group, the ecology of monsters, researching and mapping this dungeon, but we have decided that ensuring the safety of Tauro-dono is our top priority. Usually, we would be the ones to pick up the luggage, but since this team only has a small capacity to carry magic storage, we will accompany you, okay?”

The female leader exerted an atmosphere of pressure that made it seem impossible to refuse.

“Yes. …….”

Tauro and Tsugumi, to the captain of the escort team, could do nothing but reply.

The support team led the way, and Tauro and his group took a shortcut to where the capture group were and caught up with them.

Even if I say I caught up, it was a matter of walking for several hours.

“It seems that the capture group and the support group are fighting monsters right now. We will go closer, but please keep your distance until the battle is over. We are going to cover the capture group.”

The female leader of the support group pointed to a cloud of dust in the distance.

Tauro’s “true eye” has been enhanced to be able to see at a long distance by learning “God’s Hand’’, but even his “true eye” cannot see much at this distance.

“Understood. We will protect Tauro-dono and keep an eye on the surroundings.”

The leader of the escort team, Tsugumi, nodded and deployed everyone around him.

The female leader of the support team confirmed this and ran at high speed to the battlefield with her companions.

Tauro and his team decided to wait until they were close enough to see with their “true eyes” where the cloud of dust was rising.

Tauro watched the situation with his “true eyes,” which could only make out a few sesame seeds of human life.

There was one large enemy monster and about 15 of his followers, and they seemed to be fighting on equal terms with the capture group.

Occasionally, a cloud of smoke rises from a flashy explosion magic, but this is from the monster side, and the capture group seem to be fighting back with a simple ray of light magic that disappears as soon as it flashes.

Nonetheless, Tauro was confident that the capturers, including the capture group, would all be S-class level adventurers, and that it would be over in no time.

“… It seems like it’s over. They’re beckoning us to come over, so let’s go.”

The captain of the escort team, Tsugumi, was the first to notice this and reported it to Tauro.

“Okay. If I go, I won’t be preached by the capture team this time, right?”

Tauro jokingly said this to Tsugumi as he rushed to the location of the capture team.
