Dungeon Exploring (P.4) - Chapter 9

* * *

The moment Aya was inside the dungeon, she was looking around, trying to see where she was and what kind of monsters would be there.

But since she had never been in a dungeon before, she didn't know what to expect. That's why she was on guard.

But the more she continued walking forward, the more she understood that the light source from the entrance was fading away.

Hiroki also picked up on the way Aya was walking through the dark. This is why he decided to think of a solution to this problem.

'I've tried this before, and it was possible to use my skills through her body. Maybe my <night vision> skill should apply to her eyes as well.' Hiroki hypothesized.

While Aya was having trouble looking around, her eyes, which weren't able to see through the darkness, suddenly glowed, allowing her to clearly see through the darkness of this dungeon.

"Is this your doing, Hiroki?"

~Yes. It would be inconvenient if you couldn't see a dungeon where we don't know what kind of monster we would be facing.~

"You're right…." Aya gripped both of her daggers as she analyzed the terrain where she would be fighting.

The appearance of this dungeon was more like a normal cave, which showed no sign of maintenance or design compared to the previous dungeon that Hiroki had conquered.

The cave was very quiet at first, but as they continued going deeper, clicking and tapping sounds could be heard along with a mix of sharp breathing sounds. That was the first sign that both Hiroki and Aya knew that their first monster in the dungeon was going to come.

And as Aya was embracing what was about to come through the caves filled with rocks and dangerous paths, a wind-like sound flew by Aya's head, making her hair wave for a moment.

~Aya, crouch!!~

"?!...." Aya, who was left surprised for a split second, immediately crouched down as quickly as she could.

That's when a spiked club flew above Aya, which almost would have hit her right in the forehead.

She didn't have time to see what just flew past her head, so she looked at the depths of the dungeon in order to see what kind of monster would throw objects at their targets.

Hiroki, who was also inside Aya, kept a clear mind while trying to see who would throw a small wooden log at Aya from behind some rocks.

He understood that whatever monster threw that, was sneaky and somehow intelligent. But it didn't take long for him to immediately know what was coming for Aya the moment he caught a glimpse of several gray, small, naked humanoid beings coming out behind the significant rocks, which had been hiding until now.

'I've encountered a few goblins in one certain game I've played before, but to think that they would be able to breed with any kind of female monster or human?'

Hiroki concluded in his own thoughts while seeing the goblin, who had the eyes of someone who would rape any female in their sight. And Aya wasn't an exception.

"A goblin?"

~Cave goblins, to be more exact. They use tricks and any kind of weapon they can find. So no matter how weak they look, you shouldn't hold back at all when dealing with them... or they won't have mercy on you if they catch you.~

Aya's eyes hardened for a moment before she charged towards the first goblin that had thrown the spiked log at her. She used her fast movements to not give the goblin a chance to dodge.

And without looking back at the monster, a swing of her blade went through the goblin's neck.

'I won't allow myself..." Aya thought on her face after she had jumped past the goblin, who wasn't moving anymore. '....to get pushed back anymore!'

But that wasn't because the goblin couldn't grasp Aya's speed, but because, right in the next moment, the goblin's head fell to the ground from the clean cut that Aya had dealt.

Aya, who was determined to not let these ugly creatures live any longer, continued easily killing them without giving them a chance to fight back. She was very fast, and her movements were a second faster than the cave goblins could react to.

Hiroki, who would assist Aya in any dangerous circumstances, also kept a close eye on the monsters and the girl's ability to level up with him. It was a faster method where both of them were able to grow stronger.

Aya, who was easily going deeper into the dangerous parts of the dungeon, continued slaying cave goblins until she reached a different kind of path where the ground was much smoother compared to the rocky path she had been running into.

~This must be where the boss of Cave Goblins is.~

"Boss Cave-Goblins?"

~It's what you call the leader of these particular monsters. Also, the last monster we'll be fighting in order to advance to the next part of the dungeon.~ Hiroki carefully explained.

"So if I defeat the boss of Cave Goblins…"

~You'll be one step closer to becoming stronger.~

"I understand!"

"...."

'Also, one step closer to reaching my own conclusion...'

Hiroki continued thinking on his own after he was done talking to Aya. While his expression was impossible to see, Aya felt chills on her skin from the unknown emotion she felt from within her possessed body.
