"So what do we do now?" Marsil asked as she looked at the blocked exit.
"If worse cos to worst, we can just use earth magic to make a path through the rock." I replied. I an it should not be that difficult to escape right?
"I do not think that will work. This rock is made of neganite. A kind of ore that negates magic." Able quickly crushed my plan after saying this. "As it is now we are trapped down here. We can only hope we can find so kind of exit at the end of the dungeon."
I couldn't help but frown. Why was it that my first dungeon experience turned into so kind of Arifureta experience? Was this one of those dungeons set up by so ancient mage who wanted to kill the gods or sothing? Although my thoughts were pretty absurd, I couldn't help but have this lingering feeling that sothing big will be exposed once we reach the end of this dungeon.
"For now let's take a break. Marsil are you okay? I kind of tossed your around a lot." I felt bad since I really did handle Marsil roughly as I ran. I an I even threw her.
"I am fine, just a few scrapes and bruises. Nothing compared to what would have happened if you did not help ." Marsil said while giving a grateful look.
"We are a team. We must keep each other alive. Plus how could I ever let a friend get squished into a pancake? " I asked jokingly. This seed to lighten the tense mood a bit. Thankfully it did. Although I was very worried, we still had each other. If we pushed through we may be able to get out of this ss alive.
"Rei is right! We are all friends and teammates. We can not let sothing so little get us down. Instead of worrying about what has happened, let's worry about what is to co. As far as I can tell there seems to be a sufficient source of water. If worse cos to worst we can even drink the blood of the monsters if we find ourselves on a floor without water. So take out all your water containers now and fill what you can here in these pools. We will boil it later. " Able was right on top of the whole keeping us alive thing. But the thought of drinking monster blood made feel sick. I decided I would ration my water out in low amounts.
After a quick break, we decided to make our way deeper into the dungeon. Unfortunately, we had no idea how many floors this dungeon would have. Able said that there have been so dungeons that were mapped all the way to the one hundredth floor and still did not find the end boss's room. They only found a set of stairs leading down to the next floor but the monsters were so strong they ended up having to turn back.
We didn't have to walk far before we ca across a very familiar, well to anyway, kind of monster. In my previous life on Earth, they were well known to many as slis. They were also called as such on this world as well. "Blue sli. Sam, kill it with fire." Able yelled out.
Sam, nodded and chanted a spell creating a fireball sending it flying into the sli. A sli was slow, so the fireball hit its mark with ease, killing the sli. It turned into a pile of goop and left behind a white core which Able picked up. "These white cores can be used as a food supplent. So if we run into more slis make sure you collect the core."
I have to say that we were really lucky that Able was so knowledgeable about monsters. Although I had so misgivings about eating certain things, I know I would need to suck it up and hold my breath and gulp down whatever is handed to .
In my past life, doing sothing like exploring a dungeon and facing the unknown was sothing I would never even dream about. But here I was, in my new life, transmigrated to another world, casting magic, actually having to kill people, and exploring said dungeon. Such things seem impossible but they were hard facts now. I just hope that all four of us will make it out of this dungeon alive.
As we traveled, we ran into many different kinds of slis and collected their cores. I was put to work for the most part since slis could not be hard by physical attacks. Out of everyone I was the only one who could use every magic elent.
So far our path had been straight, but now we had co to a junction where we could either go left or right. "Which way do you guys think we should go?" Able turned and asked us.
In gas, I rember the best course of action was to always go left. Of course, this did not always work but since I had always done such things, I figured I would still do it now so I quickly spoke up and said: "Left."
Marsil was the second to vote. "I will go with left as well like Rei."
"I say right." Sam suddenly said.
"Okay let ask why each of you chose the direction you picked?" Able asked.
"For , It's not really anything special. I just felt if we went left and it turned out to be a dead end we could also go right. Either way is fine with but since you asked us to choose I picked left." It was not like I could tell Able it was out of habit from playing video gas, right? So once again I had to tell Able a white lie.
"I just figured I would go with Rei's decision. " Marsil answered.
"Sam?" Able then turned his attention to Sam.
"I choose right because I use my right hand for everything." A simple explanation.
"Alright. I also choose left as well." With those words said we headed left But who would have thought that going left was a bad idea...
