Chapter 385 Side Story: Chapter 5 - Iddy (5)

Iddy (5)

[Stage 7-2]

"Do you want to live?"

It looks like that.

The monsters on the 7-1 floor rushed blindly without even thinking about their own lives.

These guys here were obviously scared of getting hurt and dying.

It was interesting.

The acquisition of language led to the development of intelligence, and the developed intelligence led to the improvement of self-consciousness.

[Want to live.]

[Want to live.]

The monsters also imitated my words.

I'm not saying they know what they mean.

They began to withdraw little by little, as if they didn't want to fight with me anymore.

Rather than the community's will to kill a common enemy, it was the individual 'I's will to live.

How do I deal with enemies who are lingering in fear?

How can I kill more efficiently, using less power?

It would be nice if communication worked.

These monsters imitated my words, but it was unlikely that a conversation would be possible.

I approached the monsters one step at a time.

The monsters stepped back just as much as I approached.

They pulled their butts back and maintained the gap.

They didn't turn around and run away toward the wall at all.

Even though they were terrified, they maintained order.

I didn't see them fighting from behind other monsters or pushing their own people toward me.

They are a disordered crowd.

I don't know if this is what they know

Well.… This is difficult.

My legs are still not moving.

It was easier to fight against enemies who were aggressively tackling me rather than enemies that were tightly united and responding defensively.

I can't.

Even by using more blinks, I have to squeeze back into the middle of the monsters and force them into a melee.

When my legs were stiff, each flash was precious, but it seemed unavoidable.

It was then.

The mother body, who was watching the situation after falling away from the fight, suddenly turned around and started running.

Wondering what it was doing, I stared at it blankly.

It was the first time I had ever seen the mother body who had been standing still without constantly participating in battles, actively moving its body like that

The mother body touched the portals magic circle, and went to the next room.

I was fascinated by the unexpected movement of the mother body.

No, did it run away from here?

While its people were still fighting?

Perhaps because the mother body disappeared, even the stiffness of my leg was relieved.

It was embarrassing.

The monsters who were holding the line while surrounding me were more embarrassed than I was.

The murmur of a few words filled the cavity.

And, as if a lightning bolt suddenly fell from the sky full of dark clouds, a scream burst out.

[Stop! Stop!]

[Crazy… Stop.]

[Stop! Stop! Stop!]

Once the scream burst out, all the monsters began to scream and scream.

It felt as if they were howling.

They didn't have eyes, so they couldn't shed tears.

However, I felt a deep sense of loss and betrayal in the voices of the monsters.

Huh, yeah.

I knew that the mother body was a special entity compared to other monsters.

It was the only unique entity in the group.

It alone had eyes, and through those eyes, it even had the ability to stiffen the limbs of the enemy.

Besides, it had been shown to have higher intelligence than the other monsters.

From the attitude of teaching something to the monsters.

Even more plausible word combinations.

But I never thought that it would leave the community and run away alone.

In the first place, I didn't expect the monsters to be able to use the portal, and I didn't think that the mother body, who seemed to be the center and leader of the monster group, would abandon its people.

The monsters kept wailing.

The battle line they had maintained while they were frightened collapsed.

The monsters roared and cried, paced around, and fell to the floor, as if they had been more shocked by the betrayal of their mother body than by my existence.

There seemed to be no intention of running away with the mother body.

It's a bit of a drag, but I have to finish the job here.

[Stop. Stop… .]

The monsters completely lost their spirit.

But I couldn't just leave them alone.

"Come here."

[Soul Cry.]

It was one of the skills I got on the 6th floor.

It is a skill that has replaced the Battle Cry skill.

When used, it slightly increases my combat power and gives the opponent a weak sense of intimidation.

And it prevents the enemy who is fighting with me from fleeing.

Unlike the sword of the skeleton knight on the 6th floor, it didn't have a strong aggro ability to call in enemies in the distance.

It was just enough to prevent the enemies fighting with me from retreating and running away.

Even so, the effect depends on the situation and my condition.

However,

[Stop.]

The monsters whose mental states had been blown away approached me, dragging their feet while weeping as if they never wanted to fight.

[Stop!]

[Want to live!]

[Eyeless idiots want to live.]

[Crazy. Want to stop]

I was able to deal with enemies who had lost their former intentions but could not escape without any danger.

Only five minutes after the battle resumed, the noisy monsters fell asleep in silence.

I thought the stage was easier than I thought.

I thought I could clear the 7th floor within the day.

It was a brief illusion for a moment.

* * *

The stage on the 7-2 floor consisted of three rooms.

In this room, a portal magic circle was drawn on the left wall from the front and on the right wall.

Without thinking, the moment when I tried to reach out to the left magic circle where the mother body ran away.

I realized my mistake.

Damn it.

My thoughts were short.

I shouldn't have let the mother body run away.

Originally, there was one mother body in every room.

But in the room on the left where the mother just ran away, there will now be two mother bodies.

Two mother bodies.

If both mother bodies can exert a stiffening effect.

I have to fight with two of my limbs sealed.

The difficulty level that I'll be having.

In the worst case, both of my legs may become stiff.

Damn it.

I haven't trained for this.

No, who would prepare for a battle with both legs lost?

If you lost both legs in battle, you're just dead.

Of course, there is only one mother body in the room on the right.

The problem is that when this mother body runs away again, three mother bodies will remain in the third room.

I would have to fight with only one limb.

Oh God.

It doesn't make sense.

The risk was too great to even try recklessly.

[Information on the Dombas is updated.]

- Dombas are special creatures.

They have high intelligence and learning ability, excellent physical ability, dungeon magic, and even a special condition that can maintain their physical health without a supply of nutrition for a long time.

But what's most special about them is that they have leaders in their groups.

The mother body paralyzes one of the enemy's limbs through their special eyeballs.

It is certainly a powerful effect, but an adventurer party of more than five or six people would be able to deal with the Dombas without problems.

However, at one point, a mother body began to escape the crisis and fled to a room where other Dombas lived.

Adventurers had to deal with a group of Dombas that included more and more mother bodies as they went on.

Due to these characteristics, the Dombas' realm has begun to be avoided by all adventurers.

Until Dombas multiplied over and over again, and took up most of the depths of the Izaaku Dungeon, no clear strategy was found.

A message appeared and explained Dombas and the mother body.

I was very thankful for the explanation.

When I read it diligently wondering if it could tell me how to fix it, there was an explanation that ended with 'There is no strategy, haha'.

Why did you explain it, then?

You want me to feel how difficult it is in advance?

Do you want me to scratch my head and make it a little bit more intense?

* * *

It's messy.

I looked around the cavity.

Unlike the 7-1 floor, the rooms on the 7-2 floors had this and that.

There was one thing after another.

It was difficult to pinpoint something.

There was a structure in which a rag blanket was placed on a wooden stick and made like the ceiling of a tent.

It is presumed to be the bedroom used by the mother body.

It was evidence that clearly stated that their intelligence was more developed compared to the Dombas on the 7-1 floor.

I searched for any clues.

Usually, games hide important clues or items in these places.

When I searched the tent, I found a good thing.

It was a picture painted on leather.

It was painted in red dye.

Three squares were arranged in a triangular shape.

It looked like a map.

It didn't seem very useful.

I decided to quit the trash search.

There were two portals in this room.

One on the left wall from the front and one on the right wall.

It was the portal on the left wall that the mother body ran away to.

First, let's go to the room connected to the right wall.

There will be only one mother body there.

And before the mother body tries to run away, kill it first.

After that, it's better to think slowly about the strategy for the left room.

* * *

"Ah, come on! Please!"

Damn it.

What the hell are the guys who designed the Hell difficulty stage thinking?

What do you usually think about, and to create a weird stage like this?

[Want to live.]

[Stop. Eyeless idiot stop.]

"Shut up, you bastards!"

I cried out, smashing the back of the head of the monster crawling on the floor.

The monsters whined without even thinking of resisting.

Somehow, these monsters must be connected by a sacred connection to share each other's thoughts and feelings.

Even when I saw the monsters imitating what I said in the first room.

The mother body's reaction was more shocking.

As soon as I entered the second room, the mother of this room turned around and ran away.

I tried using the skill Soul Cry in a hurry, but even that didn't work.

I was completely ignored as if not treated as an enemy.

"Ruined."

[Ruined. Ruined.]

[Want to ruined.]

[Shut up… ]

The monsters crawling around repeated my words again.

They were monsters who were very specialized in scratching people's nerves.

Ugh.

Let's organize my thoughts

The 7-2 floor consists of three rooms.

And I missed both the mother bodies I encountered while settling the two rooms.

In other words, in the last room on the 7-2 floor.

There are three mother bodies.

Suppose three mother bodies each seal a different limb.

When that happens, I'll have to fight with only my head and torso with one of my remaining limbs.

I roughly pictured the battle situation in my head.

Relying on a single arm or leg to move, I can only hit the torso and bite the enemy with my teeth.

Fuck, what am I, an eel?

This couldn't be answered.

"Ha."

If this happens, I have no choice but to listen to Kirikiri's second advice.

Kirikiri gave me two tips for the 7th floor.

One was advice that my recent training would be very effective, and the other.

[Summon Envoy (Lv.???)]

Description: This is the power of an unknown god who refused to reveal his name to the challenger.

It is possible to summon an envoy for a certain period of time using an item engraved with a part of the envoy's soul as a medium.

It is a power with God's constraint in it.

Number of casts (5/5)

It was advised to use this lion summoning skill.

[Lizardman Idaltar's* Soul Stone]

Description: A soulstone of Idaltar, the strongest and most sinister warrior among the Lizardmen living in the Aydin Swamp.

It is available for sale at the shop window.

"Hmm…."

I wonder if this is really the right decision?
