Ch.16 Dives Deeper°

The fifth floor of the Dungeon

The walls and ceiling that were dyed by blue light occupy the entire field of vision. The natural labyrinth that cannot see the sky extends in all directions. The passages formed by forks, crossroads, and downhill roads seem to have no end in sight.

In a relatively spacious space, Estelle moved sideways to avoid the wooden stick in the hands of the goblin, grabbed the back of the neck of the other goblin with one hand, and slammed it to the ground.

"Ding! Goblin killed +1, got 5 experience points! "

The heavy force splashed the gravel and, at the same time, pushed back the rest of the surrounding monsters.

At this moment, a few goblins behind Estelle, who were not frightened, jumped up, wanting to ride on his back, using their sharp teeth and claws to completely tear the human in front of them.

However, before entering the battle, Estelle had already predicted it.

Any disturbance around him could not escape his eyes.

Estelle didn't even look back; he grabbed his sword tightly in his right hand and then swung it in circle, slashing all the goblins in the air.

Some goblins were cut while the remaining flew to the air;  they were severely injured, and when they fell, they hit the ground and lost their breath.

Ding! Goblin killed +6, got 30 experience points!"

 "Ding!.."

Clap clap!

There was a burst of applause, and Tsubaki, who didn't know where to hide before, reappeared with a surprised expression.

"Good job, boy, you really surprised me. It's the first time I've entered a dungeon, but I'm very good at fighting and reconnaissance. Although goblins are not very powerful monsters, ordinary adults hold them. A kitchen knife can kill it, but it's rare to see it as easily as you."

Having said that, Tsubaki showed curiosity on his face. "Have you had any special training before?"

"Head, you can actually call me Estelle or Est for short. As for the special combat training, I just train with an elves warrior. besideI often hunted wild animals in the past, so I have more or less experience!" Estelle calmly told a white lie.

"No wonder, Your combat talent is also the most outstanding among the rookies I have ever seen. Perhaps our Hephaestus familia will have a powerful adventurer again!"

Thinking of this, Tsubaki couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart.

As the leader of the family, she is too busy. In addition to handling family affairs, she also needs to forge, and sometimes she needs to follow other members into the dungeon to provide equipment repair services.

She had long thought that she could have a reliable and powerful guy to provide her with some help.

It's a pity that none of the other members of the family are suitable candidates, but now, Tsubaki seems to see that quality in Estelle.

This is why she will take the initiative to teach him!

As early as the moment she saw Estelle, a very absurd idea came into her mind when she saw the aura that he emits.

This handsome young man in front of him will definitely become an outstanding adventurer and even becoming a hero expected by the gods!

Although there is no proof, Tsubaki, like Hephaestus, trusted their intuition.

 …

After watching Estelle fight, Tsubaki also got a general idea of the opponent's fighting level.

The latter is not like a newcomer who just joined the family. Small and medium-sized monsters at least seven floors above are absolutely helpless to get him. As long as they are not surrounded by a large number of monsters, they don't need to worry about safety.

Of course, after the seventh floor, you still need to sharpen it.

After all, a phenomenon called "Abnormal State" will appear on the deeper floors, and various monsters will group together, which is especially fatal for low-level adventurers, so the benefits of the team are also reflected at this time.

After digging out all the magic stone fragments from the corpse, the goblin's corpse turn to ash.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Estelle immediately showed surprise.

"Don't be surprised; this is the characteristic of the dungeon. According to the words of Lord Hephaestus, the dungeon is alive. It will give birth to various monsters at any time and destroy all adventurers who enter it. When the monster receives mortal injury or their magic stone is taken away or destroyed, the dungeon will automatically recycle the corpses of the monsters."

"Although I don't know the reason for this, it's also the information recognized by all adventurers. Even if the magic stone is not taken away, the corpses of the monsters will also be recovered, but it will be slower."

"Of course, it's not advisable to just leave it since some monster may eat it and get a lot stronger, which is troublesome."

Tsubaki did not forget his identity as a "guide" and explained the information about the dungeon to Estelle all the time.

Even though Estelle knows most of this, he didn't show any impatience.

If you feel impatient even though she is clearly helping you, it's a bit of a white-eyed wolf. It's rare to have someone to guide, and Estelle still feels very good.

There is also some information that was cleared.

At least in this claustrophobic environment, speaking with multiple people is naturally better.

"Let's go over there!"

"I found a lonely kobold; don't let it run away; quickly outflank it!"

"There is actually a group of goblins here. The shield soldiers quickly raised their shields to resist, and the others attacked freely."

"..."

The noisy noise not far away came to the ears of Estelle and Tsubaki, and Tsubaki frowned slightly, noticing that there were more and more adventurers around, and they were all about to come to their side.

"The monsters on the fifth floor are a bit weak, and they won't be able to exercise you. In addition, there are too many adventurers, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced. Continue to go deeper!"

"Okay, Head!"

Estelle nodded obediently, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Goblins are too weak; they can be defeated easily with combat experience alone. There is not much training effect, so let's look forward to some more powerful monsters that can give more experience!
