There were no problems along the way except for Aqua who was crying and making a fuss. The group arrived at the Kiel Underground City smoothly.
"Don't mess around, you hear me?"
The worried Sato Kazuma once again gave instructions to several problem children, because he was really afraid that they would cause any trouble again. He had had enough of endless troubles that could never be solved one after another.
Several people nodded.
Everyone who arrived at the dungeon observed the monster at the entrance from a distance.
In a word, it is a mask doll.
Knee-high dolls wearing masks walked out of the dungeon on two feet.
"What is that? It's so cute!"
"It looks really weird. I've never heard of it and I've never seen it."
"It should be said that at first glance, it doesn't seem to have much fighting ability."
"How should I put it? I have a physically unacceptable feeling towards that doll. Why? Looking at that thing, an unknown fire will burst out of my stomach."
They each expressed their opinions on the appearance of the monster.
After observing for a moment and confirming his thoughts, Xiao Lin said: "Everyone, there are Demon King Army cadres in the underground city now, so don't be careless."
"What——!!!" X4
Hearing him say this, everyone had different expressions.
Sato Kazuma shouted: "Hey, why are there Demon King Army cadres? I have never heard of such a thing!"
Aqua also shouted: "What? There are actually cadres of the Demon King's Army, that's great!"
One was panicked, the other extremely excited.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin pretended to be confused and scratched his head, and said, "Didn't I tell you about the Demon King's Army cadres?"
"No! Not at all!"
Sato Kazuma shouted loudly, seeming to express his dissatisfaction with Kobayashi, and at the same time grabbed Aqua who was rushing to the dungeon.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Huh? Of course it's the cadres of the Demon King's Crusade Army!"
It was so natural that Sato Kazuma didn't know what to say for a while. His mouth moved up and down and he couldn't speak, but in the end he couldn't help but yelled loudly:
"Hey, didn't you hear, there are Demon King Army cadres in this dungeon!"
"I heard it, what's wrong?"
"What else is going on...Are you afraid and still want to attack it? Who gave you the courage?"
"Haha?! Kazuma, what are you talking about! I am a goddess, a goddess! It is my natural mission to conquer the Demon King, and the leaders of the Demon King's Army are no exception! If it can weaken the strength of the Demon King's Army, I will naturally do it ah!"
The idiot goddess said it righteously.
Her attitude towards defeating the Demon King's army cadres was completely different from her past behavior.
Even after hearing her words, Megumin and Darkness puffed up their chests, obviously moved by Aqua's words.
What kind of power are these idiots showing?
Sato Kazuma lowered his head and looked at the cleaning tool in his hand. Their main task was to eliminate evidence, so they brought something that could eliminate the magic circle. However, this tool has no lethality at all!
What should I do if I encounter a cadre of the Demon King's Army? Do I need to give him a bath, idiot!
Although Aqua said decisively, Sato Kazuma still guessed what she was really thinking: "You guys, you are basically interested in the high bounty issued by the Kingdom to the Demon King's army cadres. In order to be able to become a family member again, Squatting to satisfy my desire not to work is why I am so proactive."
"W-what-what-what...what are you talking about, idiot Kazuma, that's not what happened. I only wanted to weaken the strength of the Demon King's army."
Aqua, whose thoughts were revealed, didn't dare to look at him at all, her eyes were darting wildly, and her words were becoming less and less confident.
call----
Sato Kazuma sighed deeply, turned to Xiaolin and said: "Do you really want to go in? We are not prepared for anything. If a battle breaks out..."
He believed in the leader's ability, but he also believed in the problem children's ability to cause trouble. He really didn't dare to commit suicide without full preparation.
"It doesn't matter, I'm absolutely sure."
"Since Senior Xiaolin said so..."
Seeing that the team leader insisted on this, Sato Kazuma had no choice but to believe it.
"That means you can have sex, right?"
"Hey, don't rush in and seek death!"
Aqua picked up the rocks on the ground and rushed forward, while Sato Kazuma on the side quickly held her down.
Just at this time.
"Mr. Kobayashi...! What are you doing in a place like this? Are you also here to detect abnormalities in the dungeon?"
Hearing someone shouting from behind, everyone turned their heads and saw Senna leading a large group of adventurers. At this time, the equipment on her body was quite light, and she was not wearing any armor. Instead, she was holding a charm with a strange pattern in her hand.
Not good! The evil spirit has actually arrived!
Sato Kazuma was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
If you think about it carefully, something strange happened in the dungeon. They were the last adventurers to enter and exit, and there were traces of their magic circle deeper into the dungeon, plus the appearance of the Demon King's army cadres...
Not good, not good, not good!
No matter how you look at it, they are the ones colluding with the Demon King’s Army!
It's over, I'm going to be beheaded!
Sato Kazuma, who had always been a sharp-tongued person, was unable to say anything and his body was extremely stiff.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin is still there.
He smiled and said: "The appearance of monsters may be caused by us, at least we must prevent the scope of influence from getting wider. Moreover, even if it is not us, as adventurers we have the obligation to protect the residents of the town, right?"
"That's it..."
Senna immediately believed her words. After all, she had already appeared here before she even found anyone. And unlike the other scumbag, Xiaolin has a good reputation in the town and is very likely to do such a thing.
Seeing that Sato Kazuma remained silent, Senna couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Kazuma...what's wrong?"
"It's okay. He's just a little angry."
"Really? Anyway, I sincerely appreciate Mr. Xiaolin's help."
Senna said this while bowing deeply. This person does not hold a grudge against others, but he is honest and stubborn until he doesn't know how to adapt, and he just pursues every suspect to the end.
To be honest, I feel a little guilty.
Xiaolin took advantage of her.
After all, when a hero defeats a cadre of the Demon King's army, how can he do it without a qualified witness? If the kingdom doesn't recognize it then, who will pay his reward?
Just when Xiao Lin was about to say something profound and righteous, Senna handed over a charm.
"this is?"
"The reason for the creation of the monster is not yet clear, but it is most likely that someone is summoning it deliberately. If this hypothesis is true, please defeat the summoner and stick this on the magic circle."
"This seems to contain powerful sealing magic."
"That's right. As long as you put this on, no matter how powerful the magic circle is, it will immediately lose its effect. Some types of magic circle for summoning monsters will continue to summon monsters even after defeating the warlock, so be sure to put this on your body."
"I see."
Kobayashi put it away while thanking her for the charm.
However, Sato Kazuma suddenly jumped out and said to her: "I don't think we need this at all. Don't worry, I have a good idea! There are so many monsters in the dungeon, and the Demon King's army... ahem, anyway, not at all You need to go into the dungeon specially. Megumin, are you ready!"
"It's ready a long time ago, leave it to me!"
In response to his call, under everyone's puzzled gaze, Megumin raised her wand and stepped forward.
Seeing this, Senna panicked and said: "What, what is this? What do you want to do? Could it be...!"
"Humph. Have you thought of it? Yes, it's using explosion magic! As long as the entrance is blocked...!"
Sato Kazuma explained proudly.
Senna immediately stopped and said: "No! Please find out the reason! The monsters are not naturally produced at first glance. The warlock who summoned the monsters is likely to use teleportation magic. If he uses explosion magic, he may disturb the opponent!"
"Tsk."
After hearing this, Sato Kazuma clicked his tongue in displeasure, and at the same time looked at Kobayashi and whispered: "What should we do, Kobayashi-senpai? We all know that there are Demon King Army cadres inside, and we can't take the initiative to go in no matter what, and once we go in, we can't use the explosion magic. This In this case, I still recommend blocking the entrance and waiting outside to see what happens."
I have to say, this method is very good.
Kobayashi also prefers this.
Just when he was about to agree, Aqua picked up the stone regardless and prepared to throw it at the masked doll.
Demons are inherently at odds with goddesses, so it's understandable that Aqua would hate him to the point of being physically unacceptable. But no one else expected her to do that. It turned out that this monster really disgusted her so much.
But the monster, which had no hostility toward them, suddenly rushed towards the stupid goddess who was about to throw a stone. He didn't attack, but hugged her knees tightly.
"Wait, wait...what is this for?"
Aqua's disgusted face softened a little when she saw the cute doll constantly acting coquettishly towards her.
But she immediately realized something was wrong.
"Eh? Wait a minute, Xiaolin, this doll seems to be getting hotter. It should be said that I have a very ominous premonition!"
The dumb goddess swung her legs and yelled. Everyone who also had an ominous premonition subconsciously stayed away from Aqua.
Then--
boom!
With the loud explosion, the doll hugging Aqua completely disappeared, leaving only the stupid goddess who was caught in the explosion, her clothes became tattered and fell to the ground unable to get up again.
Sato Kazuma helplessly covered his forehead.
Even though Senior Xiaolin had told us before that there was a risk of explosion, this idiot actually rushed forward recklessly.
How stupid is that!
At this time, Senna said: "As you can see, this mysterious monster's habit is to stick to people who move and then explode itself. The Adventurer's Guild doesn't know how to deal with it."
"I see, it's a bit tricky."
Sato Kazuma looked at the team leader and asked, "What should we do, Kobayashi-senpai?"
The haori worn by Aqua was said to be the strongest equipment among the gods, and its defensive power was quite terrifying, but even so, she was knocked to the ground by the explosion. Based on the power just now, the person attacked will be seriously injured.
What a difficult monster to deal with.
"Wait, why are you so calm? Just worry about me a little bit, and try to comfort me at least!"
Aqua yelled as she got up from the ground. Being able to protest vigorously does not seem to have caused any harm. After suffering this explosion, the crying idiot goddess burst into tears and threw herself into Xiao Lin's arms for comfort.
While stroking her head to comfort her, she began to think about how to solve the current problem.
"Senior Xiaolin, do you want to attack from a distance?"
Sato Kazuma gave pertinent suggestions.
If it is a bow and arrow or silk thread, there should be no problem. But there are already so many monsters emerging on the ground, and I don’t know how many more are gathered in the dungeon. It would be a bit... if only one of them were driven forward in this situation...
His concerns are justified.
Xiaolin thought for a while, pushed away the goddess who was crying in her arms, and took the initiative to get close to the doll that was lingering at the entrance.
"Eh? Senior Xiaolin?"
Just when her companions and the surrounding adventurers were panicking because of her actions, the doll had already attached itself to Xiaolin's body. A few seconds later, those dolls exploded grandly as if they had been attached to Aqua just now.
Then, after the explosion——
"Well, the power is pretty good. I can still withstand an explosion of this magnitude, no problem."
After all, the LV3 upgrade is reserved, so a mere explosion is nothing to worry about.
Not only Kobayashi, but Darkness also acted in the same way. After the explosion, it still looked alive and well. It seemed that the perverted Cross Knight, whose hardness was as hard as Adamantite, was not afraid of this explosion at all.
Just when Senna and other adventurers were surprised by her hardness——
"Okay, let Xiaolin and I open the way in front, and the others can follow behind me."
She delivered her characteristically manly lines.
The adventurers who came with Senna were ashamed.
However, this time the dungeon exploration is not about sneaking in like the last time using stealth skills, but about breaking through head-on with other adventurers.
No, we can't let them come together. If we follow him, it will be easy to defeat his plan.
Just in time, Megumin pulled the corner of his clothes and said: "Xiaolin, Xiaolin. If I go in, it will only be a hindrance. Can you stay here? I will be ready to release explosive magic at the entrance at any time. If I encounter a powerful monster, Escape quickly."
"oh oh……"
Xiao Lin was silent.
How much does she not believe in herself?
Aqua came over excitedly and said, "I'm going, I'm going too! Take me with you, take me with you!"
"Eh? Eh-"
Kazuma Sato made a sound of unknown meaning.
It's very rare for a stupid goddess to take the initiative to take risks, and there must be a reason for being so proactive this time.
No need to think.
He must be afraid of running away with the high bounty.
"No, Aqua will stay here just like Megumin."
"Eh? Why?"
Aqua was puzzled. With her ability as a goddess to defeat demons, she should go to the dungeon. Why not let her come with her?
Unexpectedly, Xiaolin and Sato Kazuma said the same thing: "Sato-kun, please stay here. If there are a few of them, they will inevitably do something strange."
He said, blinking secretly.
Sato Kazuma understood, nodded and said: "I understand, I will stay here."
"Wait, wait! I want to go too!"
Aqua yelled.
Sato Kazuma yelled: "You idiot, have you forgotten that you can easily provoke the undead? Don't cause trouble this time!"
"how come……"
The stupid goddess looked at Xiao Lin with tears in her eyes.
It's a pity that he won't let her go down this time. In order to get the bounty in the easiest way, he has to eliminate all uncontrollable factors!
