More coming~ Probably 2-6 hours.
Year 7444, Month 1, Day 17
A bluish-white lightning surges from the left hand I"ve stuck out.
In an instant the electricity hit the guy standing at the front holding a long sword and round shield, and a moment after he was surrounded in the cage of electricity it quickly divided and split into two directions. .h.i.tting two more guys behind him. It then split up again but this time it didn"t hit four people, it hit two more even further in the back. It was just a matter of it not having enough targets. And when it was about to split up again since it hit the two archers in the back that were about to fire another arrow it ran out of targets and disappeared.
"Al-san!"
Bel"s scream echoed around.
I guess she noticed the sound from the {Chain Lightning} I used and noticed we were under attack at the same time.
I don"t have the time to pay attention to Bel, there"s no time to leisurely be checking the identify window either.
Since the guy at the front with the long sword and round shield took a direct hit of the {Chain Lightning} while it was still converged he"s most likely dead. The two behind him are probably dead as well. THe problem is the two guys in the back holding a spear and broad sword, and the four archers even further in back.
"{Fire Javelin}"
"{Flame Javelin}"
"{Ice Cone}"
"{Web}"
Right now they"ve taken electricity and their muscles seem to be contracting but there"s no telling when they"ll be able to move again. I sent magic javelins flying into the guys holding the spear and sword to make sure they die and then sent ice blades flying in the direction of the archers all at once. If they"re lucky they might be able to barely survive it. If they are then it"s just a matter of strangling them as we ask the reason for the attack so it"d be fine as long as a few are remaining. After we properly make them tell we"ll finish things off by killing them though. Finally I used the spell {Web} to make sure they were restrained to the ground so it should be fine.
The arrows are still stabbed into the back of my right thigh and my right upper arm but I"ve already neutralized the poison so afterwards if I just have someone pull them out and use the spell {Cure All} twice then a scar shouldn"t even remain so for now it"s more important to quickly kill this ice monster.
I turn around again and look at the ice monster. Everyone is still moving. It seems that the only target for their arrows was me since I was close to the entrance they came in from. I saw Bel throw her bow away in the edge of my sight, take her short sword out and run to my side.
"{Fire Javelin Missile}"
This time for sure I sent some scorching spears flying into the ice monster"s back without missing. If I look closely Ralpha seems to be dragging along one of her legs. Angela"s left arm seems to be twisted a strange direction from below the elbow as well. Gwine is sticking out her spear to back up Ralpha. It seems that Zulu doesn"t have any problems and is swinging his sword down on the tail. I can see Toris moving pretty nimbly on the other side of the ice monster as well. Zenom is alone right in front of the head of it swinging his {tomahawk} up into it.
s.h.i.t, since I couldn"t back them up with that timing, Angela was unable to evade an attack from it"s tail or something. I wonder if Ralpha got dragged into that?
In any case after hitting the white lizard in the neck with {Fire Javelin Missile} once more, Zenom sent another attack flying into it"s head. It seems to have died.

【Male/14/6/7438 · Frost Lizard】
【Condition: Acute Wound.Bleeding.Burnt.Bruised.Stab Wound】
【Age: 5 Years Old】
【Level: 11】
【HP: -4(268) MP: 11(11)】
【Strength: 46】
【Speed: 12】
【Dexterity: 20】
【Endurance: 80】
【Special skill: {Ice Breath}】
What a monster. His HP is absurdly high~ It seems it"s still not dead but his HP has entered the negatives, so it"s no problem to leave him be for now.
"Toris, Zulu! Bring Ralpha and Angela over here."
I said that and turned around once again.
First one, human corpse. Ah, I guess the damage was too intense. Amen.
Second one, Rokkardo.Benkus, level 16, 【Condition: Death】 he"s not wearing a helmet.
Third one, Jiardo.Rongel, level 16, 【Condition: Death】 I Identified his tail.
Fourth one, Samantha.Rauguai, level 15, 【Condition: Death】 I Identified the wound.
Fifth one, Kamiaris.Donguravus, Level 16 【Condition: Death】 I identified this guys tail as well.
Hmph, well it"s fine.
"I"ll pull it out, please endure it."
Bel said that and pulled the arrow out of my arm.
"Gu.."
Ouch~ s.h.i.t.
"Mu"
Following that she also pulled the arrow out of my thigh. It seriously hurts. I immediately stuck my finger in where the arrow pierced through and used healing magic to close the wound. The pain still remains but it can"t be helped.
"Ma..Master! These people are.."
"Master! You"re injured!?"
Angela and Zulu who brought her along were shocked. Ah, since we entered the dungeon in Baldukk, yeah, it"s their first time seeing me injured since I bought them. Well, as long as I don"t remain conscious of it much it shouldn"t harm my level up much. Probably though.
"Ah, first off Angela. Show me"
"Higu..."
I twist Angela"s arm back into the normal position while cutting her sleeve and putting my hand to the affected part before using healing magic. Angela"s face twisted from the pain but if it"s just this level of fracture, I"m sure she"s doing well, endure it.
"Al-san! Are you alright!? Ah! These people.."
"Al.."
They must have seen the point where Bel pulled the arrows out, Toris was talking in a panic while lending a shoulder to Ralpha as she dragged her leg but he held his breath after seeing the pile of corpses on the other side of the altar from the gargoyle"s corpses. Ralpha is scowling in pain. So it was her leg.
That"s troublesome~
"Ralpha, is it a bruise? or a bone fracture? In any case I"ll fix it so take off your pants."
"..Nn, I don"t think it"s a fracture. I can still walk. I"ll do it myself so it"s fine.
I guess it"s fine then. It"s not particularly like I want to touch this girls leg and it"s not like Ralpha is being embarra.s.sed over it at this point either. It"s something we"ve done countless times until now after all. However, since Ralpha has gotten pale from the pain her HP has decreased by close to 40%. Since it"s not an injury that she"ll die from I guess it"s fine for now. If she"s still limping after everything is over I"ll force it on her though.
"I see, if it gets painful then say something."
I said that and looked at Zulu before ordering him.
"Zulu, there"s four people fortified at the entrance. If they"re dead then that"s fine but if there"s still someone alive then don"t kill them..Ah, never mind, after all I"ll go, come with me. It would be troublesome if they can use magic."
Without waiting for a response from Zulu, I turned around again and raised my voice.
"Zenom, Gwine, just finish off that lizard b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
"Sure!"
"Yes!"
Before they even responded Zenom and Gwine were swinging their weapons to finish it off. Ah, I guess Gwine isn"t swinging. She"s stabbing with all of her power. It looks pretty solid.
"Bel, while you have the chance now pick up your bow. Toris you come along as well."
I said that and looked at the two who are restrained with {Web} on the ground with their heads facing over here. Both of them have leather helmets that are like caps with a metal plate on them over their heads so I can"t Identify them. The other two don"t have their heads over here so I can"t identify them until I go to their side as well.
Accompanied by Toris and Zulu I started walking towards the four people strained by {Web}.
With my bayonet in my hands I approach them while remaining on guard.
I think only two of them are still alive. They"re vaguely moving. One of them with their head faced down and the other facing their head in the other direction. First off I saw my bayonet into the back of the one moving with his face to the ground.
Then I identify the wound.
Masarukk.Ringon, level 14, 【Condition: Death】
Next I stabbed into the one facing the other direction and Identified the wound.
Jobanni.Rogmitt, level 16, 【Condition: Electric Wound.Bleeding.Stab Wound】 he has magic special skills of water and wind at level 2 and void magic at level 3.
This guy is barely still alive. His HP is about to enter the negatives so if I don"t heal the wounds he"s bleeding out of from the {Ice Cone} then he"ll die in another 10 minutes or so. Let"s just leave him to die.
Now then, the main dish.
I stab the guy moving, and Identify his wound the same way.
"Gyaaaa!"
Rimuru.Heidens, Level 17, 【Condition: Electricity Wound.Bleeding.Stab Wound】 Remaining HP 8.
He has magic special skills of earth magic at level 3, water magic at level 4, and void magic at level 4. 5 MP remaining.
One more goblin left.
"Gumu!!"
Jankot.Demitoridas, level 18, 【Condition: Electricity Wound.Bleeding.Stab Wound】 Remaining HP 11.
His magic special skills are earth and water at level 3, fire at level 4, and void at level 5. 3 MP remaining.
For the timing being it"s fine to leave this guys identify window out.
"Hey, you pieces of s.h.i.t. If you can talk then respond to my questions."
There"s no response from either of the two of them.
"Ah, I guess you can"t respond? How unfortunate. It can"t be helped going on living with such a heavy wound like that so I"ll put you out of your misery right away."
After I said that and,
"Save me, please save me."
I heard that sort of weak woman"s voice and,
"s.h.i.t..why was he still able to use magic..I guess I picked the wrong."
I heard the man say that.
"Hey, {Bright Blade}-san I"m talking to you. You"re the leader Demitoridas right?"
I said that and,
"What about that, brat.."
He"s still talking arrogantly like that.
"After all. So you were attacking parties just as the rumors said. I didn"t think it was true."
I said that and stepped on the wound on his leg.
"Gu!! Gi!!"
His HP went to 10.
"Well, it"s fine. Yo, old man. Suddenly shooting some arrows into my back what sort of idea did you have? Thanks to that some of my party members ended up being injured. You can"t complain even if we killed you right."
It seems that Bel, Ralpha, and Angela the women all gathered over here. Ralpha"s face is still pale.
This guy...
"Come on, say something."
I said that and stepped on the wound on his leg again.
"Guo!!"
"Not to mention, you even so courteously smeared poison on the arrows.."
After hearing my words Zulu and the others jumped.
"Did you say poison?"
"Master.."
"Are you alright?"
"Quite a bit of blood came out."
The last one was Ralpha"s line after seeing all of the blood on my pants.
"Ah, I"ve already healed the wound and removed the poison so there"s no need to worry. Though you know, it"s true that thanks to these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds Angela and Ralpha suffered unnecessary injuries. Though what"s even more true is that while we were in the middle of battle they were sneaking around in back shooting poison arrows at me."
I ordered Zulu whiling looking at him.
"Hey, Zulu, for the timing remove all of the equipment from these guys. Take off all their possessions. Starting from this old man, everyone, stay on guard. Ah, if they don"t have any weapon then break their fingers."
It"s fine, if it"s just at the level of a bone fracture of the fingers since they"ve already lost most of their HP they probably won"t die from just that much. I stab into them one after another while releasing the {Web] and taking off their equipment. We took all of their belongings until Demitoridas and Heidens were down to their underwear before I restrained them with {Web} again.
We gathered all of the weapons, armor, and things from the remaining corpses and half-dead. Let"s take the magic stones from the demon statues and the lizard. After that is.."
I look at the shrine on top of the altar. Following my glance everyone looks at the shrine. That is..Oh! Isn"t it a raw gem!? What good prospects. It"s a but unfortunate that it doesn"t seem to be a magic items but this is all a matter of luck after all.
"Zenom and Zulu take care of the lizard. Toris, Gwine, Angela come with me to the demon statues. Bel and Ralpha investigate the altar."
I exchange glances with Bel while saying that. I think that Ralpha probably doesn"t have much resistance towards taking her pants off in front of us at this point but she probably didn"t want to be seen by the guys from {Bright Blade}. I"m sure you can"t tell if they"re dead or alive just from a glance and since she knew I was talking to the old man right away it"s definite that there"s survivors after all. If she goes behind the altar I"m sure she"ll be fine.
We each went to gather the magic stones. Everyone is remaining cautious of the survivors of {Bright Blade}.
"Hey, it"s fine if you use magic as well. We"ll just kill you at that time though."
I turned around and said that.
Now we just need to quickly gather the magic stones and treasure before heading back. In addition I"ll say it but I think we should probably take the magic stones from the corpses of the members of {Bright Blade} as well.
It took about 30 minutes to gather the magic stones. Incidentally I had Zulu and Angela take the magic stones from the corpses. I mean, I still have some resistance to it.
I guess along the way they heard the specific details, I heard Gwine"s "Eeeh..that can"t be.." and Zenom"s thick "What was that!" voice echo out.
It seems that Bel accurately read my glance and pulled Ralpha behind the altar before using healing magic quite a bit. Both of their MP had reduced by a lot. And, there"s a red raw gem in her hands. It"s a {Ruby}. It shows up with a value of around 3,900,000 using Identify. Converting it to Z and that"s 39,000,000 Z. The price it actually sells at will probably only be about half of that at 19,000,000 - 20,000,000 Z. This is amazing!
"Now then...Hey, old man. This, you know what it is right? Right, it"s the bottle that has the poison you shot into me. And, right now, you two have wounds all over your body. Ah, they"re all over your face too right."
I show it to the two of them while taking the lid off the bottle and started tilting it.
"Stop!!"
"Hii~!!"
They"re making insanely frightened expressions.
I stop tilting the bottle. I glanced at everyone"s faces. Everyone is either making an angry expression or an expressionless face like a Noh mask, but just Gwine seems to be just as frightened as well.
Hmm...
"Al, lend it to me."
Zenom said that and grabbed the bottle from my side and started throwing it all over their faces. In no time at all.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you better not think you"re going to be saved. Don"t f.u.c.k with me. Ralpha took on an injury she didn"t need to!"
Ah, is it that sort of thing huh...Well, I intended it to kill them as well so it"s fine though.
"Uwa, uwa~~~!"
"No..No~!"
It was hard to hear Zenom"s statements from their screams of fear along the way but I still properly heard it.
"Die!"
Zenom continued to swing his axe down on their heads as they writhed in pain from the poison. Their gray matter scattered all over the place. The only ones who didn"t look away were Zenom himself, me, Ralpha, Zulu, and Angela.
Incidentally Toris and Gwine"s levels increased while exploring the dungeon today.
The guy at the front who took some ultra high voltage electricity to his body and was burnt black a portion of his equipment was fused to his body so we had to abandon it but just as would be expected from one of the top teams their equipment and weapons we"re pretty high quality. I"m sure there"s some equipment we could switch out with our own. There"s even some expensive armor like Banded-mail as well. It"s going to be troublesome carrying it back but it"s the good kind of trouble.
Ah, the guy that was on the verge of death (I forgot his name) properly died.
