Chapter 223: Iji Mine cave exploration
Chapter 223: Iji Mine cave exploration
I'm going to set up a warp point at the entrance to the mysterious cave. I can't go to the mining point above, but I'm more concerned about this place.
The width of the cave is barely wide enough for four heavy warriors like Mangetsu-sans party.
So the first group was made up of Mangetsu-san, Mikazuki-san and Ariake-san.
Behind them were Keigo, Yuko and Risa. Behind them were Mel, Rekka and Tristan-san.
Behind them were Yoichi and the others, Mirai, me, and Hokage, with Kagen-san and Izayoi-san at the tail end.
My group consisted of Nowa, Sabik, Loco Moco, Kitsuneko and Mir.
""...Mofumofu""
The slightly similar duo of Nowa and Mirai occupied Loco Moco. The ladies say it's unfair, but unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it with Yoichi-san and the others.
Then Hokage asks me a question.
"Why did you bring out Loco Moco, Takuto-dono, degozaru?"
"I also want to raise the level, especially Loco Moco can't be taken to dangerous places"
"I see, degozaru"
While we're at it, let's ask him about ninjas.
"How's your ninjutsu going?"
"I am finally able to use what seems to be a normal fire escape, degozaru. I am no longer a fake ninja, degozaru"
"That's good to hear"
I'm sure it's a long-cherished wish of theirs.
"By the way, Takuto-dono. Will you sell me the wire and the bomb?"
"You can buy wire from Ruin-san's place. Bombs are a little more difficult because of their nature"
"I see...it's a pity, degozaru"
He is a ninja, after all, so he wants to use bombs. It can't be helped.
"It's an ignition type, would you like to try it?"
"Eh? I, Is it okay, degozaru!?"
"I'm a mage, so it's better to have someone to throw it to in case of emergency. Do you have the throwing skill?"
"We all have, degozaru! Shinobi"
Hokage said so and took out a kunai. It's true that you can also throw them.
That's why I presented them one by one. Mirai says to the floating Hokage.
"...Handle with care"
Yes
Well, it's an item that could wipe out the whole party if it's not used properly. I want you to use it carefully. Then I had a question I wanted to ask.
"Can all ninjas use shapeshifting techniques?"
"Yes, they can, degozaru. In fact, you have to complete a ninja-specific quest in order to acquire a technique such as fire escape, degozaru. Why do you ask such a question, Takuto-dono?"
"Actually, it was used when I fought Karasuma Tengu. I was slashed to pieces and returned to death"
Eh!?
Everyone was surprised. No, I lose when I lose and when I run away, I run away. Then Nowa, Kitsuneko, Loco Moco and Sabik reacted and warned. The enemy has arrived. Identify.
Army Centipede Lv7
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
Centipedes all over the cave...it's a traumatic image.
"Burn it! Kill it! Don't let them get near me!"
Yuko can't stand insects, so this image is really bad for her.
"Bomb! Throw the bomb! Now!"
"Eh? Is it okay, degozaru?"
"That, is a small fish!? Not good!"
Yoichi-san stopped them. You can't use it against that thing, right? We were all able to defeat it without difficulty. But the psychological damage was huge.
"I'm going back to earth..."
"Yuko, get a grip~"
Mel desperately tried to persuade her and we continued our search. Then Tristan-san and Yoichi-san, who have eagle eye and night vision, found something.
"That's a haniwa, isn't it?"
"It's a haniwa. Why is there a haniwa in this place?
Haniwa is something you find in ancient tombs, right?
When we enter the visual range, the eyes of the Haniwa turn red and float in the sky. Was it an enemy...identify.
Haniwa Lv11
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
There are many of them, but they're still weak. But this Haniwa is a monster, so of course it wasn't a normal Haniwa.
The mouth glows when the Haniwa takes the famous shay pose.
"Tight formation!"
Everyone is solidified by the instructions of Mangetsu-san. Then a laser is shot from the Haniwa.
"Haniwa in this world shoots a laser from its mouth"
"It's a bit romantic, isn't it?"
Oh, is it a type, Yoichi-sans party like? Good.
"""Shield Tackle!"""
Mangetsu-sans party's shield tackle wiped them out. Im still breathing
When I dismantled them, I found a new material.
Pyroxene: Rarity 3 Material Item Quality E+
A stone that glows when impacted. In caves, it is used as a substitute for lights and torches.
The name makes me expect something from it. Yuko and Keigo talk.
"Could this be the material for sacred weapons!?
"There's no chance of that, is there?"
It's certainly not zero, but it's easy to get, so if it were to be attached, it would have to be a light attribute. Mel speaks.
"Even if it is light, there is a high possibility that there will be sacred materials in the future!"
I wonder if it'll work out that way? Anyway, I'll get the new material with Legion's contract. A promise is a promise. No questions asked, no answers. Then the parting of the ways. And then shocking words.
"There's a treasure chest to your left"
Ji~
"Okay, okay. Since the treasure chest was not promised, let's decide by rock-paper-scissors or something"
Shaa!
We gathered in front of the treasure chest, but there was something fishy about it...among us, the only ones with the unlocking skills to open the treasure chest were the ninjas of Hokages party, Tristan-san and Yoichi-san.
After a rock-paper-scissors contest, it was decided that Tsuchikage would open it.
"...It's not a trap, is it?"
"It doesn't react to danger detection, so it's fine...probably"
"Please assure me of that! Damn it! I'll open it!"
When Tsuchikage opens the treasure chest, he freezes. Then he closes it. Wh, What the hell?
"It's empty! You've gotta be kidding meee!"
Ah...such a trap...this is annoying. Especially since we're the ones who came here first.
We go back and find a square as we continue to kill Haniwas. It seems to be the end of the line.
"It must be the boss room"
"There's no exit, so there is no doubt"
So I serve food to everyone and buff them up. Now it's time for the boss fight!
