Chapter 23 ‒ Looks like there's nothing to be learned

saos: syosetu

◆ ◇ ◈ ◇ ◆

The interior looks like underground ruins made from stone.

The road was quite wide, it looks like could be passed by more than ten people who walk side by side.
Still, this was still the entrance, and it looks a little cramped because there are a lot of people.

"If we go deeper, people will become rare. At this level (floor) it is about half the size of sword city."

The dungeon in here seems to had a structure that goes down underground.
Even one level covers half size of the city, so this whole dungeon might be very large.

We went deeper to avoid the crowds.
After a while, several figures stood before me.

"What the heck are these people? Trying to get in our way."

The figures were unknown to their face, age or gender because they wearing full body armor and have full-face helmets on their heads.
But each hand held a sword and was clearly ready to fight.

"There is no human between them. They are moving armor, a kind of mamono called Living Armor."
"Mamono? Are they mamono? "
"Right, Ah, please be careful."

Stop the conversation with Lilia then face the approaching Living Armor.
Strangely, they moved quickly even though it was heavy armor.

The front unit starts to attack.
A slash approaching from left and right at the same time ...... this in, ?

"Slow."

My sword destroyed head armor which had a spear in front of it.

"...........What?"

Even though their heads were crushed, they cut my arms as if nothing had happened.

"Be careful! They do not feel pain, and do not have vitality like humans do!"

Fumu. If that's the case, say it faster.
had been reduced a bit after receiving a slash.

"From the results of training with Raina, that is not a large amount."

It's quite annoying because they didn't have vital points like humans, so there was no other choice but to do it.
I cut off the armor's arm.
If you lose your arm, you won't be able to swung your sword.

"Mu. Can you handle it?"

You even attack when you didn't have arms, that's a good guts.
Aren't you better than a apprentice?

Immediately, I cut off their legs.
*Gatan* and they made a loud noise as they collapsed to the ground. They couldn't wake up because they didn't have hands yet. Even so they were still struggling.

Soon the second and third attacked, but I neutralized them, same as the one before.

"Oo ~, they stop moving."

That Living Armor made a metallic noise for a while, but finally became silent as if their thread had been cut off.

"The dungeon has cut off the supply of magic flow."
"In other words, these creatures move with magic power, but they can even use skills too?"
"Yes, Thats right. Actually in this dungeon, only this living armor appeared, but they could use the skills of swordsmen and knights. The one just now is the lowest ranked living armor that can only use [Swordsman]'s skills."

Lilia said that the more we went deeper, the stronger living armor appeared.

"Although I had never met, it looks like there is a living armor that can use [Superior Class] swordsman skill."

I see.
Quite interesting.
Although it was somewhat different from dealing with humans, but this will definitely be a good training for battles between individuals.

Going further, Living Armor stood up again.

"A~, please let us fight too."

Lilia said that while drawing her sword.
After all, they were the lowest-level living armor, so it was okay.

"By the way, I've never seen Lilia fight. So what is your class?"
"I'm [Fencer]-desu! Even now, there is a name called "Lilia of The Flash" you know!"

So, [Fencer] huh.
It looks like the compatibility of [Fencer] behind [Sword Princess].

So that means,

"Looks like there's nothing to be learned from Lilia."
"How mean!?"

◇ ◈ ◇

Every floor in the dungeon had a magic circle formation for back and forth installed in the ground.

It is possible to move directly to the floor that had been visited, and also return to the surface from there.

"That's comfortable."
"Right. So, if we feel tired, what the best is return to surface and rest properly."

We were persuaded by Lilia to return to the ground.
Using the transfer magic circle formation installed at the entrance of the second floor, we returned to the entrance of first floor dungeon where there were many people.
And in the next time, there was no need to pass the first floor, we could immediately start from the second floor.

Or more precisely, it took more than 6 hours to only reach the second floor.
As I heard, this was a large area.
It took a little more time to be able fighting against a strong living armor.

"How far did you two get?"
"I've reached the 12th floor."
"I'm on the 14th floor."
"In that case, can't we immediately move to that floor together?"

Both of them shook their heads.

"That's impossible. Only people who have reached that floor can move there immediately."
"I- I can start right from the 14th floor ... I- it can't be helped, I'll go with you."
"No, you don't have to go with us Rainsan?"
"Wh... No, but, ... even though you say that Lilia ...!"
"I have to guide Arel-san. If no one who knows the direction with him, he will get lost."
"Gunununu ..."

A voice came from Raina in disappointment.

(.......... can you read the air? I want to be alone with Arel-san, just the two of us, you know.)

That voice was not heard, but somehow I could hear what Lilia was saying to herself.
Geez.
I didn't know what will happen if I was alone with this woman.

"I will be grateful if Raina will go with me."
"Fu ~ a ~ !?"

Raina made a strange noise.

"Wh-wh-wh-wh....Y-you... U-u-u-until when you will tease me ...!?"
"? I didn't mean to tease you, you know."

Why did this girl had a red face?
