Chapter 8 The power that I’m used to and the power that I’m not used to .
Morning .
I woke up in the dungeon just with a mattress in the vast space, and after having breakfast in the cafeteria of Demon King’s castle, I opened the door of the special class at the start time of the lecture .
…… Oh, the shape has changed a bit . The interior is a stone room, as you might expect, but there are no pillars . It is a square, large stone room .
And, already in the room, Dante and the members of the special class had gathered .
“Good morning, Mr . Chrono . I will start giving a lecture, so come here . ”
“Oh, I understand . ”
Dante told me that, I walked to the back of the class members that stand in groups . Then, Sofia came next to me and nodded .
“Good morning, Mr . Chrono . It was just in time . ”
“I was wandering around the castle and I lost time . ”
Demon King’s Castle is wide . I was looking around from morning spending my daily life .
In the castle, there was a shop for washing clothes, a large public bath that can be used anytime, and a library with many books .
“Even if you don’t go to the city, you’ll have all you need . ”
“Yes, it’s great, inside this castle”
It is true that if you create such an environment, the cost will be considerable, then I remembered the activities of the super special class .
“Now, I want you to pay attention to . Today, I’ll give you a lecture on combat in the dungeon . ”
Professor Dante’s lecture has begun .
“Originally, this battle lecture was done by fighting each other inside the dungeon, but … this time it was judged to be dangerous in many ways . As a result, you are going to deal with the monsters I formed . ”
That said, everyone in the class saw me all at once .
Come on, I’m not going to cause bloodshed, fights, or dangerous incidents . There’s no reason to look at me like that . What’s going on?
“Oh, well, Mr . Chrono’s power became quite famous just yesterday . ”
“I don’t remember trying to be famous …”
“Let’s be quiet . The lecture sought to be very different from the interpersonal battle, so it’s okay . …… So, from now on I will form a monster . I think this will be a good sample . The demons can use part of the dungeon as a material to create a living thing . ”
Professor Dante said so and touched the ground as we watched . And
“Come on! Giant Wolf . {Summon ° Dungeon Wolf} . ”
The moment he muttered, the ground shined red . And what appeared rising from the ground is a large wolf with white body hair .
“Oh……”
The total length exceeded three meters . The class members expressed their admiration .
“From dungeon materials, we create living things . This is the so-called monster formation technology . Sometimes it’s called summoning, or summoning magic, but today I will leave it at that . Let’s start the battle lecture”
Dante put his hand on the wolf’s body and looked at me with serious eyes .
“Yesterday was a pillar, but today’s a moving target . The medical office is open, so it’s okay to get stuck . Give me a blow and make this wolf quiet . Of course, it doesn’t matter if you beat it . ”
Its eyes are bloody, and its breath is rough . It seems to be fully motivated .
“Hey, Cody of the dragon race . Go ahead!”
“Gotcha, it’s me!”
In response to Dante’s words, a dragon-man comes to the front . And he ran towards the Wolf while holding up his fist . But …
“Nuh … goh!”
The moment he entered the wolf’s gap, its front leg attacked the dragon’s body . He was hit hard from the side and was beaten to the wall .
“Come on …”
However, he is a strong dragon man . Even if he makes a dent in the wall, it seems to be able to cope with the pain, and he recovers at once .
“It will be difficult to break through with just your strength . So, use the power to control the dungeon . The demons can use anything in the dungeons . The root of power, called magic, is there . ”
“Good!”
In response to Professor Dante’s words, the dragon-man runs toward the wolf again . Of course, the Wolf also attacked . But this time the dragon-man moved further from there .
“-Rock, cling to my fist! ‘Rock coat’!”
The moment he completed the magic chant, the rock lying in the dungeon clung to his fist . As it was, the dragon-man greeted the wolf’s forefoot with a fist with rock armor . The result…
“Guh …!”
The dragon-man was blown off again, but he pushed back his forefoot . Perhaps because of a clash with the rock fist, the forefoot is slightly cut and is bleeding .
“It’s a pass, Cody . It’s a choice to arm in that way . ”
“Hmm …”
The battered dragon-man stood up and came back here . It’s bleeding but, is it okay?
“-Come on, next is Sophikun . ”
Sophia was called next and turned her eyes to Dante .
“Oh, Professor Dante . The wolf is injured, can I attack?”
“Hmm, it seems that you are very kind to worry about monsters . It’s a good thing, but don’t worry . Look . ”
If you follow Dante’s line of sight and look at the wolf’s legs, the area that had been bleeding had already recovered . Not even a drop of blood .
“Hm … is it recovering?”
“Well, monsters in dungeons sometimes have such powerful restoration capabilities . For example, this wolf recovers in a few minutes even if his foot is blown off . So, don’t worry . ”
“I understand . ”
“-Then, let’s continue the class!”
That’s right, everyone in the class strikes one at a time . It should be said that the students in the special advance class, all of them used the power of the dungeon well . They’re doing a lot of things, like firing air bullets, making stone spears from the ground . …… This would be helpful . But…
They are usually flipped, bitten, or stepped on by the wolf’s limbs . They seem to be under pressure, and there is little bloodshed, but it looks pretty bad .
The decision they made was a hit, but everyone was smashed .
“Ha, ha, ha!”
On the other hand, the wolf is still full of energy, and the class is blown away . I feel like the speed, tone and power are going up . The rumor that the special class is tough was true, and I looked at it while thinking,
“Last, Mr . Chrono!”
My turn came too .
It’s been a while since I’ve been living in the countryside to deal with these moving things . I go ahead while thinking .
……For the time being, I just must give it a shot .
I worry about what to do . Honestly, I’m not good at this sort of battle .
Furthermore, the power and magic to control the dungeon are difficult to handle because I am not used to it . Yesterday, I tried various things in my dungeon, but I was not happy .
I think I should use the force I am not used to because it is a class, but I hate failure and being hit by the wolf . I don’t like pain no matter how much I’m treated, and I don’t want to be the same as my classmates who are moaning behind me .
…… I will try the usual method here as I will experiment the power to control the dungeon another time . It’s fine one shot, so it should be good . While thinking so, I head towards the wolf .
“-!”
The wolf watched my movements and jumped over here too . It showed its fangs and tried to bite me . So…
“Heave-ho …!”
I grabbed the wolf’s head and jumped before I got bit . I turn around the wolf’s neck and ride on its back .
Of course, I know that it is going to go into a rampage and tries to throw me away .
“SOOO! Calm down…… . . !”
I hugged it and strangled my arms as much as I could . The neck is hard, but somehow my arms hold . And…
“…”
The wolf’s eyes turned white and it was knocked down . I was somehow stunned .
“Well, it was good that the way of the wild dog was worked out . ”
When I get down from the back of the wolf while stroking my chest, Professor Dante rushed over .
“Well, what have you just done, Mr . Chrono?”
“I strangled him no matter what it got on . It was bloody and lifelike, so I tried what I did to wild dogs in the countryside, but it went well, and it was good . ”
“Well, umm . Well, it was a wonderful move . I didn’t think you could get through without using the dungeon’s control…”
“No, it’s just a coincidence . ”
If there was a pulse, or if it was breathing, I had to make a pit on the floor and frame it or sandwich it with a wall . Or maybe I make a stick and hit its nose .
The Wolf’s neck was too small . The only thing I could do was to strangle it . It was good luck .
…… Let’s practice the power to control the dungeon .
When I returned to my classmates thinking so…
“Hey, yo . Welcome back, Chrono . ”
“Well, I’m really glad it’s not a match-up . ”
Everyone had a similar point of view . I don’t know why I’m the only one who can look this way .
Sophia ran up to me with sweat on her cheek as I tilted my head to see if it was going to be a bit of a problem .
“Well, Mr . Chrono, you were able to deal with it with your bare hands …… Isn’t it scary to ride on such a thing?”
“Oh, well, because I had to face wild dogs have in the countryside several times . I can handle it to a certain extent . ”
“Well, I think the wild dogs are usually not so big . ”
“Uh? I think they are like this . ”
“It feels like the wild dog’s perception is wrong …”
While talking about that, I learned about traps and monsters to make in the dungeon in the lecture of the advance class .
