◈ 306. [Free Exploration] Farming in between (3)
The dungeon in District 6 of the Lake Kingdom, [Research Institute].
Its full name is [Magic Lab], and it is one of the largest dungeons in the depths of the Lake Kingdom.
《Whoop whoop.》
On the roof of this huge research facility.
A woman perched on the roof let out a sinister smile.
One of the commanders of the Nightmare Corps. Commander of the Dream Demon Corps.
It was the succubus queen – Salome.
《Whoop whoop whoop.》
Salome watched as Ash and the others approached. She drew a clear arc of her seductive lips.
“I’ve been waiting for the day I see you again, Ash.”
After being beaten badly by Ash last time.
Salome rearranged her troops and waited for Ash to come.
He built a nest here because he expected that Ash would come someday to this [Laboratory] dungeon, which is the largest in District 6. He dug all sorts of traps.
And after a long wait, Ash finally came here.
“I will definitely subdue you this time.”
The evil smile on Salome’s lips slowly faded.
“So after I caught you… … . Like this… … Whoop, whoop whoop… … omg!”
Salome, who was blushing and developing delusions, hurriedly came to her senses. Her subordinate succubuses were staring at her.
“Hmm, hmm! Hehehe!》
After clearing her throat, she regained her dignity as a corps commander, and when she gestured, her subordinate succubuses flew in and brought a full-length mirror in front of her.
Salome tidied up her coveted pink hair once more, hung decorations on the horns growing from both foreheads, and tied a string to the wagging tail.
The shabby monk outfit he always wore was also changed into a new one.
These days, on the advice (?) of subordinates that covering up works well in the dream horse industry, I wore it tight up to my neck.
The succubus clinging to her subordinates applied makeup to her face. Salome twisted her body around as she looked at herself in her mirror.
“Uh, how are you? I’m fine? Will this be enough?!”
In the world of dreams, there was no one he could not seduce, but Ash was an opponent who could not be affected by mental abnormalities.
It’s not a way suitable for a dreamer, but you have to seduce it with your real body… … !
The subordinate succubuses nodded and gave thumbs up to Salome, who asked a stern question.
Salome smiled broadly and raised her fist-! she lifted up
《Jooh! It’s time for revenge, Ash! Let me taste the hot taste!”
Looking at Ash’s face as he entered the dungeon entrance, Salome smiled confidently.
“You belong to me!”
***
“Don’t say shit, get out of here-!”
《Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Area 6 Dungeon [Lab]. Entrance large hall.
I threw my fist as hard as I could and hit Salome in the jaw. Salome let out an ugly scream and rolled across her floor.
“Is it you again, Salome?”
Unleashing my fists, I gnashed my teeth. Among the commanders of the Nightmare Corps, there will be no opponent as nervous as this one.
Salome, who blinked while clutching her chin, was delighted.
“Oh, did you remember me? Happy!”
“Why are you happy about that… … ?”
I clicked my tongue and looked around.
The hall here is full of fallen troll corpses.
However, unlike the ordinary troll army he has dealt with, it is characterized by a subtle pink aura flowing out of his body.
A pink aura emanated from the trolls who had not yet been defeated. I gasped.
“Looking at what you’re doing, you look like an idiot, but you’ve been using your brain quite a bit, you.”
My passive skill [Indomitable Commander] completely offsets attacks of insane state. It also covers a range of tens of meters around the radius.
I can completely counter the dream demon army by myself.
Then these guys changed their tactics – they charmed not me and my party members, but their ally, the troll legion.
“Enchants the monsters on the same side, forcibly burns them, and makes them fight by squeezing their life force to the end… … Enchantment can also be used in this way. I learned one.”
“Hehe, is that a compliment? Are you praising me now?”
“Yes, well done, die here!”
I pulled out my staff [Maestro] and fired the magic blade wildly.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
Salome frantically crawled across the floor to dodge my attacks. Let’s just die and get comfortable with each other, hey! huh?!
“It’s too much, really!”
Salome, who blocked my attack by using her enchanted troll as a cannon fodder, shouted.
《There are too many of you-!》
This is currently 25 people. 5 pool parties.
Regardless of whether you enchanted the troll or dug a trap or tricked it, it was no match for the total amount of power.
Salome’s prepared forces are being torn to shreds before us.
“And so strong! Such brutal violence is too harsh for a delicate succubus like me!”
“Then what were you thinking about me?”
“huh?”
“If you subdue us with your troops. What were you thinking of doing?”
I was asking with the argument that you weren’t going to brutally murder us anyway.

Salome, who stupidly blinked at my question, scratched the back of her head shyly.
“Of course, I packed it carefully so as not to injure a single hair! I was thinking of taking you to my base… … ?》
“Abduction to your base? After that?”
《After that, of course, I will spend heaven with this succubus queen, Salome! Paradise! It’s blissful time! I’ll give you the greatest happiness you can’t enjoy on such messy wires! Oh, of course I’ll keep it tied up.”
… … I don’t quite understand. Does that mean kidnapping and inflicting mental torture? As expected, it is a terrible idea worthy of an evil nightmare corps commander.
Evangeline, who was listening, whistled.
“wow. Bondage kidnapping imprisonment? He’s also the leader of the Nightmare Corps. Is it pretty hard to play?”
“Minors, cover your ears.”
Then, this time, Lily, who was listening from the other side, blushed and grabbed God Hand’s ear.
“God Hand! What were you thinking while looking at me right now!”
“Oh, I didn’t think anything of it!”
“You guys close your ears too… … .”
Ignore the couples who tremble with the plague.
Afterwards, I inhaled, put the magic wand into my bosom, and strode toward Salome. Salome smiled and spread her arms.
“Are you finally accepting my offer, Ash? Whoop whoop! That’s right, you’re a good boy! Now, into sweet dreams with me… … .》
Taang! Taang! Taang!
As soon as I approached, I pulled out my pistol-type horse gun [Agate] and fired 3 shots into Salome’s belly.
《Kyaaaaaagh!》
[Agathe] The unique knockback effect was triggered when shooting close-up, and Salome fell. Nice new effect!
“Please die quickly. Because I am very busy.”
This means that it is currently under a time attack!
Grinding my teeth, I checked the [Emergency Equipment Maintenance Quest] window.
Time is ticking away thanks to this goddamn nightmare corps commander who obstructs me so diligently!
Since I was cleanly hit by my horse gun 3 consecutive hits, if it was the thin stamina unique to the dreamer, he would already be in a dying state.
Salome held her stomach and laughed with a pale face.
《Huh, huhuhuhu, you’re the first man to treat me this coldly, Ash… … . A slap in the face followed by a gun shot in the stomach… … .》
“Is that so? You’re the first monster I’ve ever lived with so much talk.”
“My spine is chilling. okay. This feeling is… … What the King of Kings told me… … ?!”
“Agari please!”
I took out my staff again and fired the magic blade to finish off Salome.
It was an annoying opponent because it was noisy all the time, but anyway, it’s a benefit if you can kill a nightmare corps commander with relative ease!
f*ck! Poo-!
But then another troll came between me and Salome.
At the same time, all the trolls who were still alive rushed and formed a wall with their bodies as if to protect Salome.
“Damn it, everyone pour firepower!”
The party members under my command launched an all-out attack.
When all the meat shield trolls were defeated, the succubus and incubus escaped from the troll’s body and blocked the attack with their bodies before disappearing at once.
In the meantime, Salome, along with some of her men, managed to keep herself together, then turned invisible and began to dissolve into thin air.
“Let’s see, Ash… … I will definitely try to seduce you next time… … !》
“I will tempt you! So don’t run away, come here! I’ll hit just three more, so let’s play together after that! hey! don’t run away! hey!”
But Salome is gone. They ran away, leaving only the corpses of trolls and dream demons behind… … .
Damian widened his eyes and lowered the horse gun he was aiming at.
“Sah, it’s gone. It’s like you’ve gone to another dimension.”
“It’s [Escape from Reality], an evasion skill unique to a dreamer.”
Since it is a decision that disappears from the real world, it is impossible to shoot even if you are Demian’s clairvoyant.
As it is a mighty escape, the price is also high. I don’t know, but Salome would have had to pay a pretty big price for running away like this now.
Damian frowned and tilted his head.
“… … It seems to be something different from the Nightmare Corps commanders I’ve met.”
“okay? What is it?”
“The other kaiju corps have obvious hostility. It hates and opposes humans from the very source, spewing out an intense killing force as if denying our existence. But that corps commander doesn’t have that.”
Damien, who had the gun in hand, looked up at me and added.
“And very… … I’m weak… … .”
“… … .”
No, the compatibility problem is huge.
Without my passive skill, the dream demon corps would have been one of the most formidable enemies among all monster corps.
However, thanks to his passive skill, he went beyond the level of a good restaurant and became a mediocre dog.
“Among the rest of the Nightmare Corps, these are the least threatening. It’s annoying because they stick together like fruit flies in the summer.”
I let out a light sigh.
I expected to encounter the Nightmare Corps commanders frequently. When it came out so casually, I felt a little strange.
This time, it was the most easy dream army, so I was able to win without feeling so nervous… … .
‘If it was another Nightmare Corps Commander and the SS, it might have been dangerous.’
But what’s really dangerous right now is the remaining time of the urgent quest.
Currently, there are less than 30 minutes left. Watching the time remaining tick by tick, my mouth is dry.
Fortunately, most of the monsters in the dungeon were enchanted by the dreamers and dragged out, so there was no need to go and kill them one by one.
Originally, the research institute here was equipped with various gimmicks for each dungeon room as it was large, but most of them were dismantled on their own thanks to the monsters crawling out and dying on their own.
From this point of view, the time might have been shortened thanks to the dream demon corps… … ?
‘Thank you very much!’
Next time we meet, I’ll be sure to kill you as a thank you, Salome!
***
He led his party members and entered the heart of the laboratory.
True to the name of the laboratory, the inside of the dungeon was white and clean, unlike other places.
Inside the dungeon room, various unknown materials and specimens were floating in a green liquid.
If I had enough time, I would have explored and gathered information here and there. Unfortunately, it’s time attack now!
Clear only the essential dungeon rooms in a spacious dungeon, and move forward while obtaining the key or encryption key needed to advance to the next room.
[Emergency equipment repair quest]
– Remaining time: 15 minutes
At this moment of urgency when the shit line is slowly burning. I was able to enter the boss room… … !
Koo Goo Goo!
Upon entering the boss room at the deepest part of the laboratory, I saw a large facility in which geometrically designed alchemy devices were intricately entangled.
《Non-citizens who don’t even have a name… … .》
Standing in front of the facility, a large troll in a researcher’s coat gnashed his teeth and turned around.
《I would not be grateful if you made me a parasite under the protection of the Lake Kingdom, and if it is used as a research material for magic science here!》
Wow, he even wore glasses for the troll theme.
… … for a moment. Is this maybe racism?
《You jumped on the bandwagon outside and caused a riot on the subject of the experiment? under! Don’t be funny! No one can escape! I’ll throw everything into this facility!”
Looking at the boss monster talking fluently, I suddenly thought of that.
I met this while exploring the dungeon… … The monsters who talk like people from the Lake Kingdom.
《Become manure for the future of mankind, non-citizens!》
Is that person’s soul intact, and only the body has turned into a monster?
Or, the monster that swallowed that person’s soul reads that memory… … Is it just copying a human voice and imitating a human?
[Lab – Boss Room]
– Defeat the Boss!
– Lv.45 Troll Sorcerer <Magic Lab Director Dirandahi>
Dirandahi, the head of the Magic Lab.
A rare wizard-type boss monster.
As he raised his staff upward, the magic power of the area boiled over, and it began to resonate with the magic device behind him.
Raising his sword, Lucas, standing in the vanguard, shouted urgently.
“Master, tactical instructions!”
I nodded and spoke out the tactic I had been thinking about.
“It’s a knock.”
At my words, the party members under my command tilted their heads and were puzzled.
“Across… … ?”
“strike… … ?”
“What is it, lord?”
“A very traditional and historic pork stir-fry recipe… … It’s not, it’s an anti-boss tactic.”
run around.
Turn around and hit the f*ckin’. In other words.
“It’s Dagul!”
There are as many of us as there are, and the level is high, and above all, there is no time, so what kind of tactics are there!
Just f*ck it all together!
