    Episode 388

    The mystery of the dungeon is gradually being solved.

    I always wondered how the monsters living here replenish their energy without eating food. When the monsters run out of strength they turn into natural objects in the dungeon such as plants or rocks.

    And if you wait in this state for a while an unknown entity directly contacts something like a white nerve and transfers energy to you.

    Simon thought that the unknown being was a ‘dungeon lord’ or boss monster. The only being who can control the ecosystem of this world is the Dungeon Master.

    And a way to come into contact with that existence.

    ‘You act like a monster.’

    If you sit still remain focused and remain still a being presumed to be the dungeon owner will send out white tentacles that look like nerve cells.

    However upon contact the dungeon owner realizes that Simon is not a monster and runs away. Still Simon still has a strong sense of the direction in which the tentacle is escaping.

    Just keep walking in that direction. It’s a kind of compass.

    If you lose your direction or become confused repeat it again to fool the dungeon owner and catch the direction.

    It took a lot of trial and error to figure this out. At first I thought covering the body with minerals was a meaningless action.

    Conditions include not moving slightly for at least an hour breathing regularly and not being distracted not sleeping and doing it in a place where there are a lot of trees or plants around.

    So on day 10.

    “hmm.”

    Simon who was meditating felt the movement of the dungeon master again and opened his eyes.

    It felt like I was really close to the dungeon owner now. The residual feeling after contact is becoming stronger.

    ‘Let’s eat something first.’

    Simon was hungry while meditating so he filled his stomach with the meat left over from the previous monster hunt.

    No matter when I ate it it had no taste. It became even more so after finding out that the monsters here turn into plants.

    ‘…I heard that the texture is like chewing mushrooms rather than meat.’

    Moreover the monster’s flesh turned into a mushy dried plant after just a few hours.

    The retention period is only one day. In other words you had to hunt a monster once a day.

    “Utcha.”

    After finishing his meal Simon did some light stretching. The direction was decided and I had to find some game to eat for dinner tonight.

    In his field of vision he sees footprints scattered all over the forest floor.

    ‘Follow this for now… Huh?’

    Simon rolled his eyes and bent his knees.

    The footprints on the floor are clear. A pair of steady strides that have been around for a while.

    What was more surprising was that it wasn’t the footprints of the monsters I’d grown tired of seeing here.

    ‘These are shoe prints!’

    Keygen Student Someone is nearby. Simon immediately ran after the footsteps.

    Because the floor was wet the marks were clearly visible and the dents became deeper as time went by. This is evidence that someone has stayed here recently.

    Soon we follow the footprints and get out of the dense forest.

    Whiiiiing-

    The wind blew along with the dazzling light.

    There long flowing light blue hair and a girl’s back were visible. She who was gently tucking her hair under her ear felt someone’s presence and turned around.

    “……ah?”

    The girl’s eyes widened rapidly. After a moment of surprise a joy and emotion that could not be hidden appeared on his face.

    “city……!”

    “Simeon!!!”

    But there was one person who jumped out one step ahead of her.

    Toto was clinging to Simon’s body and crying tears of joy.

    “……To Toto?”

    “Hehehe! Simon! Nice to meet you! I was really scared!”

    At the same time it was Toto who glanced sideways in Meyrin’s direction. Meilin’s face turned red.

    “hey!! What did I do!”

    “Hmph!”

    Toto hid behind Simon’s back. Simon grinned.

    “You two are still the same.”

    “……Bring back the emotion of my reunion. really.”

    Meilin muttered that while touching her forehead and then looked at Simon.

    It had been 10 days so I thought the boys would have bushy beards and scruffy faces but Simon still looked straight. He even shaved leisurely.

    Well it was like that during the last island survival evaluation and it seems like this person will survive no matter where we drop him.

    “Do you have any more company?”

    When Meilin asked Simon shook his head.

    “No you guys were the first ones I met.”

    Meilin held out her hand with sparkling eyes.

    “Then do you want to work with us? Of course if you like it…”

    Simon held his hand and smiled. Her white hands were covered with a pleasant grip that was neither strong nor weak.

    “Of course it’s good.”

    A cheeky smile leaked from Meilin’s lips. I had been at a loss ever since I came to the dungeon but after meeting Simon I couldn’t have felt more reassured.

    Of course there was Toto but rather than being dependable he was in a position that Meilin had to protect.

    “mu Of course I’m the leader! Any objections?”

    “haha! Do whatever you want.”

    The three people talked about the progress so far and shared the information they had discovered.

    First of all all three knew the strategy for attacking mineral monsters and the fact that monsters turn into plants.

    Meilin and Toto did not know the location of the dungeon but they were moving with their own standards.

    “If you look closely. The roots of the trees point in a certain direction.”

    “okay?”

    Hearing Meilin’s words Simon narrowed his eyes and glanced at the roots of a nearby tree.

    “……Well I’m not sure.”

    “If you look really closely the direction is slightly the same.”

    Simon scratched the side of his head.

    “If it’s only minor isn’t it meaningless information?”

    “You might think so. but!”

    Meilin spread her arms wide.

    “What if the conditions are the same for all the trees here?”

    It is insignificant that the roots of the plant are tilted to one side.

    However if 299 of the 300 trees in the forest are equally angled the story is different. Meaning arises.

    “Actually it wasn’t a great discovery but this was all we found out so we were just moving in this direction.”

    Simon nodded.

    “Good job.”

    The dungeon owner’s white tentacles climb up the ground and provide nutrition to the vegetated monsters. I think the roots may have been oriented in that direction.

    Of course the roots of plants can change depending on natural conditions such as the slope of the terrain or the light of the wind so it was not a 100% certain clue but in the end because they moved in a certain direction they were able to meet Simon like this.

    This time Simon shared the information he found out.

    “You can contact the dungeon owner?”

    Meilin and Toto’s eyes widened.

    “I want to give it a try!”

    Maylin quickly sat down with her knees together and closed her eyes. Toto next to him also seemed curious leaning back against the tree and closing his eyes.

    however.

    Excited! Excited!

    Meilin’s shoulders were shaking from boredom before she could last even 30 minutes. Toto was sleeping with drool dripping from his mouth.

    Simon smiled bitterly.

    “Both of you are failures.”

    Even if you knew how to do it it seemed like it would be difficult to do if you were a distracted person or someone who sleeps a lot.

    The two failed but Simon contacted the dungeon owner once more and reconfirmed the direction.

    “I’ll tell you the direction. Let’s move.”

    “huh!”

    First of all the urgent priority was to go in person to prove Simon’s hypothesis and confirm the location of the dungeon owner.

    The three walked diligently.

    As you go in the direction of the dungeon owner the monsters become bigger and more numerous. If you get caught they will attack you persistently so you have to move around in a direction where there are no monsters as much as possible.

    “Simon! The path in front is crowded with monsters!”

    Toto who had gone out to scout reported. Simon nodded.

    “Must conserve mineral weapons. I think we can avoid battle by climbing up the hill here. What do you want to do?”

    Simon said pointing upwards. Meilin also looked up and narrowed her eyebrows.

    “……It may cost a lot of stamina but it can’t be helped.”

    “wait for a sec.”

    Simon opened subspace.

    The six skeletons that appeared broke into several pieces and clung to the bodies of the three people.

    “Now if you wear this and climb you’ll feel better.”

    “I’ve seen the whole body!”

    Toto’s eyes sparkled with respect as he looked at Simon.

    Swish swish.

    Simon who was fully equipped with the main armor waved his arm and demonstrated first.

    I stretched out my arms and grasped the protruding area then stepped on the solid point with my right foot and climbed straight up.

    “Follow Meilin!”

    “Oh yes!”

    Meilin immediately tested the exoskeleton effect of the armor and climbed up the protruding part of the sloping hill.

    “Nice! It goes up straight without any effort!”

    Meilin also adapted in an instant. Even though she was somewhat lacking in athletic ability there was no problem as she was directly assisting with the armor that Simon had seen.

    “hey! Jjintta!”

    She looked back excitedly.

    “Why is it so slow? Come quickly!”

    However when Toto who was following her made eye contact with Meilin she blushed and quickly averted her gaze.

    “Why is that…”

    Meilin belatedly looked like she realized something.

    Pow!

    Soon Toto was hit by her back kick and slipped off the cliff.

    Toto had to climb up the wall again and climb up before Meilin.

    “……Simon I had a really hard time.”

    Toto who had shoe prints on his face said with a tearful expression on his face.

    “……haha.”

    Toto who was naturally timid would have had a hard time dealing with Meilin’s personality.

    “Sactually doesn’t Meilin hate me?”

    Toto whose confidence was extremely low said with a wrinkled expression. Simon shook his head.

    ‘No matter what happens.’

    Meilin is a strict performance-first person who values ​​results. However she is seriously aiming for first place in this promotion exam and protects Toto who may become a burden to the end.

    You can tell just by looking at that fact.

    “Meirin has a dishonest personality so she sometimes does or says things she doesn’t like.”

    Simon continued.

    “If you treat Maylin a little more comfortably you will understand…”

    “That’s impossible!”

    Simon laughed out loud at Toto’s complaint.

    So the three climbed to the top of the cliff with the power of Bone Armor.

    “Wow I’ve arrived at a place where the real boss would be!”

    Maylin jumped up and down expressing her joy. I was able to see a panoramic view of the pitch-black mountain range that I had never seen anywhere else in this dungeon.

    “Now let’s go down. be careful.”

    Simon took the lead and was about to go down but Toto pointed to the sky.

    “Hey guys. Is something coming over there?”

    “huh?”

    Simon raised his head.

    I thought it was a bird but it wasn’t a bird.

    “……!”

    It was a black dragon.

    Flap!

    A large dragon came down flapping its black wings with holes in them. Just the flap of its wings created a strong wind.

    “Aaaah!”

    “Bow!”

    Simon supported Meirin and Toto who were lying face down in pitch darkness. Soon the black dragon planted its legs on the top of the distant hill where the three people were and folded its wings.

    ‘Why in a place like this…!’

    Simon bit his lip.

    The black dragon’s body gradually shrunk and the scales that had been tightly embedded in its body began to protrude and hang freely.

    The reptile’s unique snout retracted the face returned to a straight human face and the sharp teeth also became neater.

    “Simon Pollentia.”

    Soon the Hector that everyone knew returned to him.

    “……Hector!”

    Meilin stood up and created a magic circle in her hands.

    “You know that fighting between students in the dungeon is prohibited right?”

    “Although fighting is prohibited rolling down this hill a little painfully cannot be called fighting.”

    “You!”

    Simon raised his arm and stopped Meilin who was about to rush at her.

    “What’s your business?”

    Although he was extremely competitive and had a personality that would not hesitate once he got angry in Simon’s opinion Hector was not a thoughtless person.

    Hector also saw Simon.

    “If it were you you would have found the location of the boss.”

    “…….”

    “Guide me.”

    Are you willing to cooperate in clearing the dungeon?

    Simon was secretly happy but Meilin said ‘hmph’ and crossed her arms.

    “Why do we have to do that just because you’re pretty?”

    Hector raised the corners of his mouth without saying a word.

    They’ll probably follow you all the way from behind even if you don’t guide them. Simon looked at him and said:

    “Even just one person needs more power. Let’s cooperate in this boss battle Hector.”
