37 – Gate Exploration (4)

What we expected came true to some extent.

As expected, the dark red gate was hit by a special gate, and our party who touched it was naturally moved to the Undiscovered Dungeon.

The special gate that leads to the dungeon automatically activates the [Warp] magic when mana is injected while the body is in contact with the gate.

The gate entrance itself has the corresponding magic, and it is a form that is activated when it is in touch with magic.

Because of this, Professor Bluecliffe and I did not have time to study the gate in depth.

Because [Warp] is activated in an instant.

“Isn’t that what you said? A special gate.”

At the beginning of the dungeon with a bleak aura.

Dean Darrenstud clicked his tongue.

“I thought that even if only the professors of the Faculty of Swordsman came, we would be able to wipe it out enough… Until now, there has never been a case where a red gate was not a dungeon.”

Unknowingly, I nodded my head at those words.

Black and red were mixed, but anyway, this gate seems to be a special gate.

Our sudden [warp] to the dungeon was proving that.

And if the result of this exploration is simply a special gate, that is, an undiscovered dungeon.

As the head of Darustud said, it was possible to attack with only the swordsmanship professors.

If only the magical tools needed to clear the dungeon were supported.

“First, let’s start exploring. I will take the lead in reconnaissance and ratings.”

Professor Python took the lead and said.

His ‘Ranger’ talent shines in this area.

reconnaissance. magic detection. trap detection. check monsters.

The grade calculation of the dungeon that puts all of them together.

Rangers are agile and sensitive compared to other warriors, so they had the ability to explore dungeons more easily and evaluate them objectively.

So, at the center of most of the dungeon grades and monster grades being finalized, the decisions of the authoritative rangers used to be.

Professor Python left first, and the rest of us slowly began to leave.

My position is at the back of the party.

It was right after Professor Meline.

“Sacher.”

But Professor Melaine slowed down, stuck next to me and started talking to me.

Her face hardened into a serious expression.

If others saw her, they would think she was a normal professor, but I, who had been watching her for two months, knew the meaning of this expression well.

‘… You’re still angry.’

Before entering the dungeon, the moment when he said, ‘I’ll talk about this later,’ seemed to be now.

I honestly apologized without thinking of a big excuse.

“sorry. for lying.”

It’s not such a big mistake, neither I nor Professor Meline know.

All important things have been reported, and the reason for the occasion is personal.

But anyway, it’s true that you lied.

She must have been offended by that.

However, Professor Meline lightly shook his head.

“It’s not the lies that made me angry.”

“then… ”

“The magic of this dungeon radiates special magic that is strong even for non-Rangers. If you think that all of this mana turns into poison, it seems so powerful that even I, a professor, can’t decipher it. Maybe Sacher, if it weren’t for your detox preventatives, we might be in danger too.”

Professor Meline continued slowly.

“I was angry that I was trying to make an antidote for such a dangerous poison all by myself. I could have taken action after reporting enough, but I feel like I, as a professor, am not giving my students trust.”

“ah. Something like that… ”

That wasn’t the reason.

Contrary to Professor Meline’s concerns, I was confident in making an antidote for any poison because I had experience in making a special poison antidote for ‘Venom Arcus’.

The moment I found the poison, I felt it wasn’t too dangerous, so it wasn’t a matter of trust that I didn’t report it to her.

Moreover, the matter of morphine and the treatment of morphine mothers is purely my personal matter.

However, I took care of personal matters on my own and only reported this gate that I learned about in the process.

“I hope you will trust your professor a little bit.”

Even so, I couldn’t answer her words in a low voice.

Even if my situation was like this, it was a process that Professor Meline would also be disappointed enough.

I had a chance to talk honestly, and anyway, she’s saying it sparingly for me.

I suddenly felt that I was a person with a lot of affection.

Until a year ago, I had built a wall with people, and the only people I could give affection to were Ruen and Schunika…

Professor Morphine, Delia, and Meline.

People who have just known each other for two months.

Before I knew it, I was communicating with them with a high bond.

Unbeknownst to me, many people were already inside of me.

And that feeling was never, ever, a bad feeling.

“… Yes, Professor.”

With a short answer, I promised to give her faith in the future.

It was a small promise, but a pleasant smile hung on my lips.

“By the way, it must be an unusual dungeon.”

Professor Meline looked around the dungeon slowly and said.

This dungeon was like that from the color of the entrance gate, but there were definitely a lot of unique things.

First of all, there are no monsters at the beginning of the dungeon.

Most dungeons place monsters at the entrance like a gatekeeper.

Whether there are many or few objects, this is a feature that is considered official, so the warrior party is fully prepared before moving from the gate to the dungeon.

Also, through the level of the monsters you encounter here, you can roughly figure out the level of the dungeon.

However, such monsters did not exist in this dungeon.

It might come out if you go to the mid-to-late half, but anyway, it was a peculiarity that there were no monsters at the beginning.

Instead, ‘poison’ with special magic defends the entrance to the dungeon.

The amount of poison that came out of the gate entrance was considerable, but the amount of magic power of the poison exuded upon entering the dungeon was incomparable.

If an ordinary warrior’s party had entered, they would have been poisoned right at the beginning and could not advance.

If it weren’t for the detoxification preventive prepared in advance, we would have been quite dangerous as Professor Meline said.

Second, this dungeon is not in the form of a ‘cave’.

Except for a few dungeons, almost all dungeons take the form of caves.

This is because the dungeons transferred through the gates are special areas created by developing some areas of the underworld.

However, this dungeon doesn’t feel like a cave at all.

Through the densely blocked passageway, I felt that it was underground, but the shape of the neat passageway gave me the feeling of a man-made structure.

It’s like…

“residence… I feel the same way.”

“hmm. Like the fact that there are no monsters, and the shape of the dungeon. It feels like a place where demons live, not monsters.”

I nodded and agreed with Professor Meline.

If you keep walking down the aisle like this, maybe you will come across something like an underground city.

If so, what form of dungeon raid should I do?

Thoughts like that came to my mind, but I quickly shook them off.

Professor Python, who is unmatched in reconnaissance, started the search first, so he will bring news in a little while.

* * *

“It’s a strange thing.”

About 30 minutes after I started exploring the dungeon.

With the exception of Professor Python, who was away from the party for a while, Dean Darrensturd, who was leading the party, opened his mouth heavily.

“I can’t see a single monster.”

that was really weird.

It is still difficult to give a clear definition of ‘gate’, but even so, all warriors are aware of the concept that a gate is ‘a passage through which monsters and demons cross’.

Of course, monsters had to exist even at the special gate leading to the dungeon.

But even now, 30 minutes later, I couldn’t find even a monster without washing my eyes.

Even if the theory of the ‘dwelling place of demons’ that I speculated with Professor Melain earlier was correct, there must have been a monster to protect them.

Because demons can command monsters as if they were using their own limbs.

Even for Dean Darren Stud, who has been through all of the prenatal battles, this seemed to be coming as a singularity.

Strangely, it wasn’t just that.

Professor Python, who had gone out to reconnaissance, hadn’t returned.

The passage we walked through was quite long, but 30 minutes is enough time to return after exploring.

The fact that Professor Python’s report, which deals with the best among the warriors with Ranger talent, was delayed like this, was clearly suggesting that something was wrong.

That’s when I started to feel more and more suspicious.

Dean of the Divine Faculty, Julian Tariere, shouted as if he had discovered something.

“Dean of Darunstud! excuse me!”

In the direction his index finger points…

Professor Python was breathing hard, and was sitting against the wall.

… with a dying complexion.

“Professor Python!”

“professor. Are you all right!”

We rushed to him and checked his condition.

As I got closer, it seemed that his condition was serious.

A pale complexion and a bewildered expression.

Just by looking at his face, he could tell that he was not in good condition, and even worse symptoms were showing up all over his body.

Dark-looking spots were sprouting all over his face as well as his body.

Dean Tariere immediately began to heal him using divine magic.

“Professor Python. What happened?”

Professor Bluecliffe asked while sitting Professor Python in a more comfortable position.

But at that moment, blood poured out of Professor Python’s mouth.

“Puff.”

“Professor Python!”

“professor!”

Professor Python raised his hand as a sign that he was okay.

Then he began to speak with difficulty.

“Poison… Too much poison… Addicted. sooner… this place… We have to get out… .”

Shocking stories were pouring out of his mouth.

“Venom… Arcus… . This is… Those terrible demons… where you live… .”

Venom Arcus.

A clan of extremely poisonous demons known to possess thousands of types of poison.

The cursed clan that almost took my sister’s life four years ago, and took the lives of countless continental people and warriors.

The fighting power of the individuals is absurdly weak, but because the poison possessed is so strong, it was a terrible clan that was impossible to exterminate even in the demon war.

This dungeon is their residence.

I had to get out of the dungeon right away and make a plan to attack again.

Enduring the pain of being hacked into the body by all sorts of poisons, Professor Python warned him like that.
