Evil God Chapter 35

Today is the second day of our dungeon exploration.

Farther north than the Briton Kingdom, we’re in the territory of the Scottyard Kingdom.

We’re in a dungeon to the west of the Scottyard Kingdom and Graggo.

In a dungeon named Ipstar.

“Right, let’s go find the demon general who’s hiding here.”

“It’d be great if there was one here. We’d be able to kindly tell the Scottyard Kingdom about it.”

Jamie attaches onto my talkativeness.

“You’re acting a little indiscreet.”

Yufilia knits her eyebrows.

“On the off chance we find one, the allied forces will be formed anyways.”

At that time, the Scottyard Kingdom will raise the subject from last time, and insist on forming the allied forces.

The Briton Kingdom will not refuse them.

Probably, the other countries will also comply.

Nobody will try to get even with them for last time.

“Then what are the points we’re expecting to get out this?”

“There aren’t any.”

Tiraiza instantly denies my question.

Last time, I made various conjectures in advance, and hit the jackpot.

In a good meaning and a bad meaning.

This time however, there was no such thing.

“Last time it was special because we had a new member. Our usual activities are like this.”

Tiraiza sighs.

“That’s why I don’t really want to attend that much.”

“If we don’t bring Till outside like this, she’ll hole up at home or in her clubroom.”

Jamie shrugs her shoulders.

“Since we’re short on members, I entered, but now that we have a new member it should be fine, right?”

Although she says that, Tiraiza is participating this time as well.

I’m not sure whether she’s actually reluctant, or if she’s actually happy she was invited.

 

When we step into the dungeon, everyone puts their guards up.

We were already vigilant, but there was a strange aura coming from inside the dungeon.

Also, it stinks.

“This smell…….it’s an undead type, isn’t it?”

“Probably, which means that something that can make that stink must be here.”

Yufilia and Tiraiza speak while covering their mouths.

“Here it comes…Iris, I’m relying on you.”

Prompted by Jamie, Iris goes to the front. From here on it’s the priest’s time to shine.

“Turn undead.”

Through her magic, ghouls, wraiths, zombies, and other undead monsters return to the earth.

However, their numbers are large.

“Haa, haa……”

As expected, returning a few tens of monsters to the earth, even Iris would get tired.

“This is too much, we’re putting too much of a burden on one person. Should we just physically beat them?”

Unable to watch any more, Yufilia makes a suggestion.

“No, sending wandering souls to God is the job of a priest. Our doctrine is to purify them with magic rather than to defeat them normally.”

Iris shakes her head.

However, the undead seemed to stop here.

The next thing to come out were some low level subordinates.

Monsters such as goblins, orcs, and ogres.

“All right, here we go!”

Jamie got fired up and charged at an enemy.

“Undead, and then goblins. There doesn’t seem to be any regularity.

Since Jamie plunged at the monsters, Tiraiza lost the opportunity to use magic.

She started to analyze things to kill boredom.

“I wonder if demons are in hidden in this dungeon too?”

Since Jamie can fight with leeway, Yufilia doesn’t participate, and watches over her.

Because the passage isn’t very wide, it’s better for us not to forcefully participate.

Jamie mowed down our enemies with her ax, and we easily proceeded.

Then she turned around at the end of the passage and disappeared.

“As expected, she’s moving along too quickly.”

Tiraiza hastily follows after her. Everyone follows behind her.

When we turned around the corner, we saw Jamie running back over here with a desperate expression.

“?”

For a moment, the 4 of us make puzzled expressions.

However, seeing the monster behind Jamie, everyone makes the same expression as her and run away at full speed.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The monster chasing us is a melbore

It’s a huge cannibalistic plant.

That’s no problem with that.

The problem is it’s special move.

Stinky breath.

It’s a terrible special move that induces various condition abnormalities such as sleep, confusion, poison, darkness, paralysis, petrification, and silence.

Ah, none of them work on me though.

There’s no way condition abnormalities could work on the Evil God-sama.

But, it smells.

It smells terribly.

And I have my Evil Nose.

It smells too much for me.

Thus, I ran away.

I left the other 4 behind me, and ran.

My physical ability is higher than theirs.

I pulled away from everybody, and ran.

“He's the only eeh?”

“Coward--------”

I heard such a voice from the back, but I ignored it.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

In this narrow passage, it's impossible to avoid breathing in it's stinky breath.

I prayed for their souls.

 

When I returned to the scene, was jeered at and called a 'coward’, a 'traitor’, and a 'pervert.’

Even just the existence of melbores stink. The sap that comes out of it when you cut it also stinks.

It seems they were able to beat the melbores without any problems, but they were in a terrible state due to melbore’s stinky breath and sap.

“Isn’t a man supposed to protect us with his body at times like this?”

“Sorry, but that'd stink, so it's not going to happen.”

While pinching my nose, I answer Tiraiza's complaint.

“By now, barking is--”

Jamie seems confused. No, I guess she's also under other condition abnormalities.

“Cure. Erase.”

Iris is giving her best, and is curing everyone's abnormal conditions.

“Uuu, at this rate we won't be able to continue exploring.”

Yufilia seems to be bitter.

“Isn’t is strange that melbores are in this dungeon?”

While grimacing, Tiraiza was analyzing the dungeon.

Of course it’s strange. It brings up the question of how those goblins and other monsters are able to live here.

As expected, that’s unnatural.

That point is in need of revision.

Adventuring typically gets you dirty, but it’s impossible to keep going when they’re this dirty and smelly.

It was decided that Yufilia and the others would go take baths, change our clothes, and then come back.

In the meantime, I’ll go explore a bit.

“Will you be fine alone?”

“I’ll be fine, because I’ll run if any Melbores come.”

“……Oh well.”

Yufilia who was worried remembered what happened just before, and seemed to have felt that it was idiotic to worry.

After they left, I go deep into the dungeon, and call out.

“----Who’s there?”

The one who appeared without even listening to my voice was Adrigori, the captain of the evil god army 1st corps.

“Yes, I’m here.”

“The balance is little messed up. Also, you’re doing too much.”

That’s right. This dungeon is one where we evil gods sometimes play around with.

Deploying monsters. We also prepare treasure chests.

There’s also a boss hiding at the deepest part of it.

As for why we’re doing this, the story goes back all the way to the previous evil god conference.
