Chapter 15 - Get Stronger Quickly In The Underground Dungeon! Step 5
Get Stronger quickly in the Underground Dungeon! Step 5
taken from some book
EN: Laycast was here ????
Yeah!
Its about time that the effects of my level up are showing.
Now that I think about it A thought had been bugging me. I picked up a stone and
Hmph!
I grabbed it as hard as I could.
(sfx sound of crumbling?), the stone crumbled.
Ive suddenly remembered Cordelia had cut a big stone like it was tofu with a sword in the past
Yes.
It seems like Im almost venturing to the point where I stopped being human.
Actually, this is a dungeon for young dragons to train to become a full-fledged dragon.
If I dont stop being human there is no chance for me to capture this dungeon in the first place.
Looking at it from another point of view, this place is like a starting point.
So after passing through the goblins farm(?), there will be an underground waterway.
Walking through the limestone cave.
It felt comfortable walking in the slightly cool temperature with a small fire ignited.
And so, we had arrived at the underground waterway.
This is?
Its an underground lake about 50 metres wide.
And a huge mass that takes up half of the lake
I unintentionally held my breath.
A giant catfish?
I nodded at Liliths comment.
Yes. A species that is very evil I think
(TN: A whale catfish????)
As the words suggest, this gigantic catfish was given this name because of its whale-like size. Currently, it is in its hibernation period, there is not even a ripple on the surface of the water.
By the way, according to literature, it will gobble everything when becomes active.
First of all, the catfish will use its barbels to block every lifeform that passes through.
Then, it will tie/roll its preys with its barbel and pull it into the water to eat/kill them.
Under the lake here is a huge groundwater passage that could connect with the outside world, so this catfish has a habit of making here as a den during hibernation.
Im going to ignore this thing. However you rephrase it, this catfish is just too gigantic.
Anyways, this catfish is about 25 metres in length.
For instance, this monster is a just a bit bigger in size. its not within the parameter that I can do something about it.
Oi Lilith?
What?
How much water do we have left?
Taking out a big leather bag, she opened it and look into the contents.
We did not use more than 20%
After thinking for a while, I took the rucksack from Liliths hands
I want to refill it here, the path after this there is no place to obtain water.
Eh? But the giant catfish
Itll be alright
And that is also from the skill: Wisdom?
Yes, once this thing is asleep dont even say resisting, it cant even move. And, this season is coincidentally its hibernation period
I oppose. That huge catfishIf anything happens, we will be wiped out in an instant
Id say its okay, originally, that literature should be a survey. from an institution that is reliable
Fumu Lilith reluctantly nodded her head.
But I really hope that you remember this phrase
What is it?
Be careful
Such exaggeration, I laughed bitterly and took the water bag.
Placing the mouth of the water bag on the waters surface, water gushing in causing bubbles to float on top of the lake surface.
I bound the mouth with a string and place it aside.
And, I scoop the water with both hands and drank it.
It feels great drinking water at a cool temperature.
Delicious.
Oi, Lilith? Why dont you come
When I turned back to call out for Lilith, there was something stuck in my throat
Uoo!
The water is gushing into the middle of the lake at a fast pace.
The giant catfish? No, that is impossible! In the literature, to hunt for food during hibernation is that kind of example was not stated
While in panic mode, I turned my vision towards the water to see the situation.
And, aa, I see I accepted the harsh reality.
There was 3 metre length small catfish it should be the giant catfishs son or wifey.
He, or she (TN: I love it more but original context so, no), is able to stock energy to endure hibernation, it hasnt yet gone into hibernation.
It means that it needs to stock energy or a better word, gather food
And I was stuck(?)/caught in its barbel.
I was then pulled into the water, a straight line towards its mouth.
Even an idiot will know to, the moment the catfish opened its mouth to swallow me I took out the knife on my waist and landed an attack on its gum.
The binding of the barbel came off.
The moment I became free, I somehow move my arms in the manner of breaststroke.(?)
As I ran away, I pierced both of the catfishs eyes with my knife.
And, I continued recklessly stabbing.
As long as my breath could hold, I continuously stabbing.
Seconds turned into minutes.
It seems like it is possible to do this with the status of Physical Strengthening.
No, it might be purely just because of the effects my HP that is about 2000.
Anyways, in the 10 minutes in water, I recklessly pierced the catfish.
The lake coloured in blood(?), and a lone catfish floated on the water surface.(?)
And finally, my breath has finally reached its limit.
I somehow swam with breaststroke arriving the shore(?) but
While I faced(?) out of the water to take a deep breath once again, barbels tied around my neck.
It was a catfish different from the one before.
Shit! Oi, Lilith Run! There are a few catfuglubbglub
The last part doesnt sounds like words at all.
Haa, this is a bit not good
Following the lack of oxygen, my vision gradually became black.
Black out its not funny(?) in the water I thought though I couldnt say anything.
I guess its over for me now.
Aa, now that I think about it just like in my second life came to an ending, I was tricked by the sage childhood friend I died in water.
That is not good.
I flashback on what had happened till now.
No but as a villager I think I had did good.
And, I closed my eyes and resolved myself.
And, at that moment
My body ran through electricity(?).
At the same time, the bind of the barbel from the catfish came off.
My body became mobile, I took in the last of the oxygen and headed straight towards the
water surface.
I let my face out of the water and breathe deeply.
And I was out of words.
Currently, there are two catfishes floating on the surface.
One of them was the one which I had damaged and the other was one without any cuts
on it.
No, its is more accurate to say that the catfish on the water is making some static noice
and smokes.
And I looked towards the shore(?), I finally understood what had happened.
That is a scenery(?) of Lilith carrying a rucksack, holding a staff.
I started swimming towards Lilith.
Lilith, what did you do?
Electric shock. Your mana is inhuman after I thought that your resistance
towards magic is high, and I maxed the output(?)
She responded with a tint of frustration in her words.
.Its not something to be shocked about its not like I lived here a few years for no
reason. And I have a 3 lined bracelet I am at least able of support
Well, that would be the case the dragon culture does not accept the weak to live.
If so.. Lilith is taught by her parent well.
Then, may I say something?
What is it?
Dont decide everything by yourself
About what?
I cannot help you in this dungeon that is a fact
?
Im sure that Im not of help. This time, I coincidentally could support you but
that is fine Dont order to run. Dont decide everything by yourself
I think I was told by Cordelia something similar that day.
I, in my own way can also support Lute. If luck and topography is with our side
just like this time
That may be true. But I cannot put you in danger
And I received a slap on my cheek
The slap reverberated in the dungeon.
Then, What would be my position be if I put you in danger?(EN: Im not sure what
it means here. Im going to assume its similar to Then what would I do if you were to
die?)
Tears began to form and Lilith continues to speak.
Dont selfishly decide everything by yourself. Dont take all of the burdens upon
yourself. What am I to Lute? Is my will reflected in Lutes actions?
I flashback on Cordelias words.
Dont selfishly decide everything on your own!
I didnt wish for that. There isnt my will in there.
Im not allowing you to go the Dragon Village! About not being able to see Lute for a few
years I never heard of that, I absolutely hate it!
I thought of that while laughing bitterly.
What am I? Dont selfishly put your life at stake. Dont selfishly help me Im just
another human
Sure I hate being a sex slave. I also hate that Im being chased out of the Dragon
Residence. However just because of that, others have to risk their life if Lute
dies What should I do?
I nodded my head and clenched my hands into a fist.
And I hit Liliths head softly.
Then we will survive together?
Lilith nodded her head.
