Chapter 8 The power that I"m used to and the power that I"m not used to.
Morning.
I woke up in the dungeon just with a mattress in the vast s.p.a.ce, and after having breakfast in the cafeteria of Demon King"s castle, I opened the door of the special cla.s.s at the start time of the lecture.
…… Oh, the shape has changed a bit. The interior is a stone room, as you might expect, but there are no pillars. It is a square, large stone room.
And, already in the room, Dante and the members of the special cla.s.s had gathered.
“Good morning, Mr. Chrono. I will start giving a lecture, so come here.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Dante told me that, I walked to the back of the cla.s.s members that stand in groups. Then, Sofia came next to me and nodded.
“Good morning, Mr. Chrono. It was just in time.”
“I was wandering around the castle and I lost time.”
Demon King"s Castle is wide. I was looking around from morning spending my daily life.
In the castle, there was a shop for washing clothes, a large public bath that can be used anytime, and a library with many books.
“Even if you don"t go to the city, you"ll have all you need."
“Yes, it"s great, inside this castle”
It is true that if you create such an environment, the cost will be considerable, then I remembered the activities of the super special cla.s.s.
“Now, I want you to pay attention to. Today, I"ll give you a lecture on combat in the dungeon.”
Professor Dante"s lecture has begun.
“Originally, this battle lecture was done by fighting each other inside the dungeon, but … this time it was judged to be dangerous in many ways. As a result, you are going to deal with the monsters I formed.”
That said, everyone in the cla.s.s saw me all at once.
Come on, I"m not going to cause bloodshed, fights, or dangerous incidents. There"s no reason to look at me like that. What"s going on?
“Oh, well, Mr. Chrono"s power became quite famous just yesterday.”
“I don"t remember trying to be famous …”
“Let"s be quiet. The lecture sought to be very different from the interpersonal battle, so it"s okay. …… So, from now on I will form a monster. I think this will be a good sample. The demons can use part of the dungeon as a material to create a living thing.”
Professor Dante said so and touched the ground as we watched. And
“Come on! Giant Wolf. {Summon ° Dungeon Wolf}. ”
The moment he muttered, the ground shined red. And what appeared rising from the ground is a large wolf with white body hair.
“Oh……”
The total length exceeded three meters. The cla.s.s members expressed their admiration.
“From dungeon materials, we create living things. This is the so-called monster formation technology. Sometimes it"s called summoning, or summoning magic, but today I will leave it at that. Let"s start the battle lecture”
Dante put his hand on the wolf"s body and looked at me with serious eyes.
“Yesterday was a pillar, but today"s a moving target. The medical office is open, so it"s okay to get stuck. Give me a blow and make this wolf quiet. Of course, it doesn"t matter if you beat it.”
Its eyes are b.l.o.o.d.y, and its breath is rough. It seems to be fully motivated.
“Hey, Cody of the dragon race. Go ahead!”
“Gotcha, it"s me!”
In response to Dante"s words, a dragon-man comes to the front. And he ran towards the Wolf while holding up his fist. But …
“Nuh … goh!”
The moment he entered the wolf"s gap, its front leg attacked the dragon"s body. He was. .h.i.t hard from the side and was beaten to the wall.
“Come on …”
However, he is a strong dragon man. Even if he makes a dent in the wall, it seems to be able to cope with the pain, and he recovers at once.
“It will be difficult to break through with just your strength. So, use the power to control the dungeon. The demons can use anything in the dungeons. The root of power, called magic, is there.”
“Good!”
In response to Professor Dante"s words, the dragon-man runs toward the wolf again. Of course, the Wolf also attacked. But this time the dragon-man moved further from there.
“-Rock, cling to my fist! "Rock coat"!”
The moment he completed the magic chant, the rock lying in the dungeon clung to his fist. As it was, the dragon-man greeted the wolf"s forefoot with a fist with rock armor. The result…
“Guh …!”
The dragon-man was blown off again, but he pushed back his forefoot. Perhaps because of a clash with the rock fist, the forefoot is slightly cut and is bleeding.
“It"s a pa.s.s, Cody. It"s a choice to arm in that way.”
“Hmm …”
The battered dragon-man stood up and came back here. It"s bleeding but, is it okay?
“-Come on, next is Sophikun.”
Sophia was called next and turned her eyes to Dante.
“Oh, Professor Dante. The wolf is injured, can I attack?”
“Hmm, it seems that you are very kind to worry about monsters. It"s a good thing, but don"t worry. Look.”
If you follow Dante"s line of sight and look at the wolf"s legs, the area that had been bleeding had already recovered. Not even a drop of blood.
“Hm … is it recovering?”
“Well, monsters in dungeons sometimes have such powerful restoration capabilities. For example, this wolf recovers in a few minutes even if his foot is blown off. So, don"t worry.”
“I understand.”
“-Then, let"s continue the cla.s.s!”
That"s right, everyone in the cla.s.s strikes one at a time. It should be said that the students in the special advance cla.s.s, all of them used the power of the dungeon well. They"re doing a lot of things, like firing air bullets, making stone spears from the ground. …… This would be helpful. But…
They are usually flipped, bitten, or stepped on by the wolf"s limbs. They seem to be under pressure, and there is little bloodshed, but it looks pretty bad.
The decision they made was a hit, but everyone was smashed.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
On the other hand, the wolf is still full of energy, and the cla.s.s is blown away. I feel like the speed, tone and power are going up. The rumor that the special cla.s.s is tough was true, and I looked at it while thinking,
“Last, Mr. Chrono!”
My turn came too.
It"s been a while since I"ve been living in the countryside to deal with these moving things. I go ahead while thinking.
……For the time being, I just must give it a shot.
I worry about what to do. Honestly, I"m not good at this sort of battle.
Furthermore, the power and magic to control the dungeon are difficult to handle because I am not used to it. Yesterday, I tried various things in my dungeon, but I was not happy.
I think I should use the force I am not used to because it is a cla.s.s, but I hate failure and being hit by the wolf. I don"t like pain no matter how much I"m treated, and I don"t want to be the same as my cla.s.smates who are moaning behind me.
…… I will try the usual method here as I will experiment the power to control the dungeon another time. It"s fine one shot, so it should be good. While thinking so, I head towards the wolf.
“-!”
The wolf watched my movements and jumped over here too. It showed its fangs and tried to bite me. So…
“Heave-ho …!”
I grabbed the wolf"s head and jumped before I got bit. I turn around the wolf"s neck and ride on its back.
Of course, I know that it is going to go into a rampage and tries to throw me away.
“SOOO! Calm down……..!”
I hugged it and strangled my arms as much as I could. The neck is hard, but somehow my arms hold. And…
“…”
The wolf"s eyes turned white and it was knocked down. I was somehow stunned.
“Well, it was good that the way of the wild dog was worked out.”
When I get down from the back of the wolf while stroking my chest, Professor Dante rushed over.
“Well, what have you just done, Mr. Chrono?”
“I strangled him no matter what it got on. It was b.l.o.o.d.y and lifelike, so I tried what I did to wild dogs in the countryside, but it went well, and it was good.”
“Well, umm. Well, it was a wonderful move. I didn"t think you could get through without using the dungeon"s control…”
“No, it"s just a coincidence.”
If there was a pulse, or if it was breathing, I had to make a pit on the floor and frame it or sandwich it with a wall. Or maybe I make a stick and hit its nose.
The Wolf"s neck was too small. The only thing I could do was to strangle it. It was good luck.
…… Let"s practice the power to control the dungeon.
When I returned to my cla.s.smates thinking so…
“Hey, yo. Welcome back, Chrono.”
“Well, I"m really glad it"s not a match-up.”
Everyone had a similar point of view. I don"t know why I"m the only one who can look this way.
Sophia ran up to me with sweat on her cheek as I tilted my head to see if it was going to be a bit of a problem.
“Well, Mr. Chrono, you were able to deal with it with your bare hands …… Isn"t it scary to ride on such a thing?”
“Oh, well, because I had to face wild dogs have in the countryside several times. I can handle it to a certain extent.”
“Well, I think the wild dogs are usually not so big.”
“Uh? I think they are like this.”
“It feels like the wild dog"s perception is wrong …”
While talking about that, I learned about traps and monsters to make in the dungeon in the lecture of the advance cla.s.s.
