Raising Slaves on the Other World While on a Journey Chapter 15

「It’s so hot…」

After I heard this declaration from everyone, I decided that tomorrow I would dive into the dungeon alone.

I also asked about the dungeon’s core, but it looks like this is the first time she’s heard about a dungeon without a core. Well, I was only a little curious. If she doesn’t know, then there’s no real need to think about it that hard.

When I think about it now, they made the right decision.

I can endure this heat, but the others would surely have dried up after several minutes.

So, there has yet to be anyone that has successfully captured a rank 10 dungeon. Maa, that can also be said about rank 9 dungeons as well though.
Basically, it’s impossible for people of this world to capture a dungeon of these two ranks.

「It came again」

From the magma, an enemy that I’m already familiar with appeared. The only enemy that I’ve seen on this level so far is this Flaming snake. It has resistance to physical attacks, and because I only have physical attacks, the only thing I can do is run away.

Because I encounter this guy every 10 steps I take, I came to hate seeing it.

「At last, I found it」

The reason I haven’t immediately made my descent to a lower level is because I’m in this dungeon to collect all the treasure chests.

Besides, ever since I’ve entered this dungeon, the radius of the [Detection] and [Search] skills have significantly dropped, so I don’t know what lurks near the treasures.
It seems all rank 9 and 10 dungeons are like this.

「What’s this, a book?」

When I open the treasure chest, an old book lies inside. When I appraise the book it says: Magic – Skill book of fire. When I take a look at the skills, it seems I’ve learned fire magic.

This skill book must definitely be a gift from heavens. However, I wonder if fire elemental magic can even hurt the monsters in this dungeon.

I verify that I’ve learned all the skills I could, and use one as a test.

「Flame」

A column of fire appeared from the magic square on the ground.

Are? That’s strange. What appeared wasn’t a column of fire, but rather, it looked more like a laser.

Is this safe to use in such a narrow cave? I don’t want this cave to collapse and bury me alive.
For now, let’s head towards the unexplored areas.

After walking for a while, I’ve arrived at the next location.

I try to throw in the body of the lizardman we had hunted yesterday.

For starters, let’s try throwing the item with the most durability in. The troll’s club.

I put it in the item box and select the repair command. I repeat the process until its durability is maxed out. This body is definitely a cheat, but the real cheat is this system screen.

「Fuu」

I quickly jump into the void left over in order to open the treasure chest.
It’s good that I was able to jump in but…

「No matter how I look at it, it’s way too hot to touch」

It was surrounded by magma until just a few moments ago, so it may be better not to touch it with my bare hands.

Again, I take out the corpse of a lizardman, and I quickly use the lizard’s hand to unlock the treasure chest before the hand melts.

– Transfer Crystal rank 9
2 in 1. A magic tool to transfer the person touching the crystal to another crystal.

I wonder if these crystals are compatible with Maria’s crystal.

I’ll keep one of these, and give the other one to someone from the group.
Next up is…

「It came again」

The Flame Snake approaches me again, but this time a group of them appeared in the entrance.

The Flaming Snakes envelop my body, but heat of only this degree can’t do anything to me.
However, my clothes aren’t safe, so I don’t want to stay inside the snakes’ bodies for too long.

I began searching this dungeon an hour ago, but I wasn’t able to cover even half of it.
I’m thirsty. Is magma drinkable?

While thinking about such reckless things, I had a reaction from the [Detection] skill.

I dig into the wall with a pickaxe.

I take it out bare handed. Its hot, but I endure it.

It’s a stone that emits a high heat. When I touched it directly, I suffered severe burns.

Oo, I picked up something good.

Because there are still reactions coming from this wall, I gather everything.

After I leave this dungeon, let’s immediately make a weapon.

Nearly 2 hours have passed since I found the Combustion Stones.

I got a response from [Detection] and [Search] earlier.

My mood is gradually uplifted.

My mood is improving after finding such a powerful enemy.

Before me stands about a 5 meter long giant red lizard.

I was hoping for a dragon from fantasy, so I’m kinda disappointed.
Maa, it’ll be fine if it’s strong.

I rush towards the Red Dragon. In return, the lizard opens its mouth and unleashes a flash of scorching heat.

However, this lizard is unexpectedly quick and manages to dodge my attack.

The lizard screams in pain while it falls to the ground.

Apparently, this lizard doesn’t seem to be that strong.

If an enemy as strong as the troll appeared, I wonder, just how much fun would I have?

I throw the lizard just as it is into the item box, and open the treasure chest it guarded.

「Here we go」

Seeing the contents, I immediately make a victory pose.

I close the chest and try to see if I can put it in my item box.

It seems to be OK.

I explored only the first floor, but after this much heat my throat is dry.
I’ll explore the second floor tomorrow.

After walking back outside, I inhale the fresh air. Fresh air courses through my body once again.

「Ah, welcome back. How did it go?」

After being welcomed, I told Mira how it went.

With this, we can reach each other no matter where we are.

「Did something happen here?」
「No, we only exterminated some nearby monsters. Nothing else happened」

That’s good.

Having curry after such a long time. It’s somewhat lonely without the rice, but I’m still happy.

What would happen to the adventurers of this world if they entered this dungeon?

Rank ７、８: Will survive for 5 minutes if not attacked by a Flaming Snake.
Rank ９、１０: Will survive for 10 minutes if not attacked by a Flaming Snake.
