I’m really glad I requested for the cooperation of the rulers of the six nations.
The lower floors starting from the 5th floor had masses of monsters, enough to overflow. At this rate, if left as they are, the horde of rampaging monsters which became the former Sydnia’s hands and feet would descend upon the monster nest and the surrounding nations.
Currently, the six nations’ dungeon capturing teams were in the middle of clearing the 8th floor.
It’s the 4th day since we began storming the dungeon. No one has died yet. However, we did gather again so I could distribute more potions.
There were people that got injured, but the morale of the rulers and their troops were high. I’m convinced that all of them were battle maniacs.
Also, when we reached the 8th floor, the variation of monsters that appear on the floor increased.
Of course including the superior goblins, there were superior Orc species such as Orc Knights and Generals, superior Ogre species such as Grand Ogres, Trolls, Minotaurs, and a whole array of humanoid monsters. And even Undead such as Duhallan and Living Armors also began to appear. Fortunately, Astral type monsters don’t appear, so the teams of the two Beast Kings, King Deega and King Ryvar, and King Jairu were probably relieved.
An abnormal event that happened was when we stepped foot into a large room.
We saw the six teams ahead.
At that moment, I had an unbelievably bad premonition, and then it happened when I called out to the teams.
In the middle of the vast room the size of a baseball dome. A large magic circle shone, summoning a mass of monsters. The room itself was the trap. It was teeming with monsters.
「Takumi-sama! The other teams are running this way!」
「Titan, equip your shield and to the front! Kaede, thread traps! Laeva, Marnie, Akane, Lulu-chan, to the back! Sophia, Maria, beside me!」
Giving out quick orders to everyone, we got ready to intercept.
「Sophia, Maria, Laeva, Akane, shoot magic to protect the rear of the escaping teams!」
So as to not hit the escaping teams, we simultaneously fired off skills.
「Oh Wind Spirit, nourish thyself by my power, devastate with thy wind blades, Cutter Tornado!」
「Hundred Blooming Lightning Spears!」
Maria’s Fire Magic detonated monsters, burning a wide area.
Blades of wind swept over the area with Sophia’s Spirit Magic, tearing monsters to pieces.
When Laeva’s racial Fire magic was released, large quantities of balls of fire rained down.
Akane fired plenty of ice arrows, falling incessantly onto the monsters.
Lastly, what I cast were hundreds of lightning spears. It aimed at different monsters and killed them.
The ground rumbled and the dungeon shook.
Queen Fraal’s team succeeded in running to us. Updates are released by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
After confirming King Gandalf, King Jairu, King Ryvar, King Deega, and lastly King Guzhr’s team had come over, I asked Akane and Marnie to treat the injured.
A third of the monsters in the monster house were dead or near dying, but those remaining climbed over the corpses to attack.
When the monsters were 50m away from us, a large amount of monsters were suddenly cut to pieces. Kaede had activated her trap.
Perhaps because Laeva and Sophia randomly casting their magic, Titan left its shield at the front.
Maria and I situated ourselves just behind Titan with our spears.
「Haa, haa, you saved us. Haa, haa, we will fight too! Give it your all, everyone!」
「Hah, hah, we will back you up!」
「……support, to the back!」
Having recovered with healing magic and potions, King Gandalf and Queen Fraal’s teams immediately returned to the battlefield.
Clutching their respective weapons once more, they psyched themselves up and assaulted the monsters.
King Guzhr and his subordinates also carried large shields, so they lay in wait near Titan to stop the monster attacks.
Queen Fraal’s team joined up with Sophia, Akane, and Laeva at the back to fire magic again and again.
King Ryvar, King Deega, and King Jairu’s teams came forward with longswords and battle axes.
King Gandalf instructed the rear guard of his team to join and fight together with Sophia and the girls, and he himself stood in the front line with his full metal halberd.
We killed a considerable number of monsters with our magic attacks, but were still around 300 monsters remaining.
The curtains of the hard fight raised.
