Chapter 302: CH 302

Raiding the ruins of an ancient kingdom


「Then let’s go with Kaede and I taking the lead, Valzak-san in the middle, Berkut on one side of him, Maria on the other, and Sophia at the end of the line.」
「「「Yes.」」」

We stepped into the dungeon entrance of the ruins of the ancient civilization which was similar to a minimized Teotihuacán Pyramid.

「Hey Master, it’s a dungeon but the mana is low?」
「You’re right. This might explain why the monsters are all small.」

We don’t have that much experience diving into many dungeons, but we can tell that the mana here was incomparably weaker than in the dungeons we have experienced.
The monsters that appear in the dungeons are created from mana, so the interior of a dungeon should fundamentally be dense with mana.

「It doesn’t seem like the core controller has completely lost control yet.」
「That seems to be the case. If it lost control completely, the Sky Island would fall to the ground, after all.」

I agreed with Sophia’s conjecture, slightly relieved that we still had time.

Monsters would occasionally attack us as we made our way through the Ruins dungeon. Though the monsters of that caliber would run away as soon as they discover us if we were outside a dungeon, they come attacking inside the dungeon. We were clearing out the monsters anyway, so it was easier if they come to us.

「Master, can Kaede attack the monsters on this floor by herself?」
「Hmm, ……let’s see, if it’s you then no matter how far we are, you won’t lose us, so sure, you can go.」
「Kaaaay!」

Maybe because she was bored, Kaede proposed to annihilate the monsters alone. If the monsters that come out of the dungeon were of this degree , Kaede would be fine no matter what, so I just let her do as she pleased.

After watching Kaede until she was out of sight, we examined the floor carefully.
According to Valzak-san, he was told of the dungeon’s appearance by their ancestors as per their oral traditions.

「This is a story from 1000 years ago. This was prior to the overflow of monsters so the dungeon may have changed, but I heard that it was a small structure at the 3rd level at the time.」
「I don’t know how much it would have changed in 200 years, but I think it would be alright.」

Considering the density of mana inside the dungeon, I couldn’t imagine it growing into a dungeon that much.

Our exploration of the Ruins Dungeons was going well, and the 3rd Floor remained to be the lowest floor.
Deep within the 3rd Floor, there was a door in front of us, but it didn’t seem to be the typical Last Boss room like in normal dungeons.

「So we can’t start unless we get through here?」
「Even if this is a boss room, the boss wouldn’t be that big, right?」
「Takumi-sama, let’s hurry and open it alright.」
「Be on your guard.」

Though Sophia and Maria said so with little tension, I myself couldn’t feel any danger.

「I’ll open it then.」

With Kaede and I at the lead, we opened the door and barged into the boss room.
The moment everyone entered the room, mana gathered and a monster appeared.

「Eh, 5 killer apes, huh?」
「Master, we’ll restrain them first, right?」

The bosses that appeared were Killer Apes that were considered to be small fries in a monster nest, so it was really disappointing. Perhaps to give Berkut some experience, Kaede quickly bound the 5 killer apes with her threads.

「……uhh, Berkut, please finish it off.」


「Sorry about that, Kaede-chan.」

With an indescribable expression on her face, Berkut dealt the finishing blows to the unmoving Killer Apes bound by Kaede’s threads.

「Iruma-dono, our ancestors had reached up till this room.」
「Which means they haven’t gone past this point?」

With the boss defeated, the door which likely leads to the room that had the dungeon core appeared before us.

「Yes, monsters didn’t appear before, so our ancestors seemed to have come to investigate this place, however I was told that they were unable to open this door.」
「Heee.」

As a test, Valzak-san placed his hands on the door, but sure enough, nothing happened.

「Let me try.」

After that, even when Kaede, Sophia, Maria, and Berkut tried, there was no change with the door.

「Should we break it?」


「Hold up, let me check it out too.」

Growing irritated, Sophia started talking about breaking down the door, so I hurriedly stopped her.

「Hmm, maybe it has a trick to it.」

Then, when I placed my hand on the door, the door shined for an instant and an electronic-sounding voice could be heard from somewhere.

《ＤＮＡ　ｐａｔｔｅｒｎ　ａｎａｌｙｓｉｓ　ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｅ，Ｈｕｍａｎ　ｓｐｅｃｉｅｓ　ｃｏｎｆｉｒｍｅｄ． Ｄｉｓｅｎｇａｇｉｎｇ　ｌｏｃｋ.》

「……it opened.」
「……it really opened.」
「Master, you’re amazing!」
「……well, it opened so I guess that’s a good thing.」

I don’t know why it only responded to me, but checking the core takes precedence right now, so we timidly moved past the door.
