Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?-Chapter 595: Dungeon Exploration 1

「The dungeon type of this is?」

「It’s the orthodox type of dungeon that has descending floors. However, there are three field types, caves, plains, and forests. As such, despite being a cave type, a large variety of monsters appear, so there’s a large variety of monsters and they tend to be in small rooms or corridors.」

「Ohh~ Do you know the lowest floor?」

「The lowest floor is the 50th. There is a boss room every ten floors.」

As Ryuka-san and I chatted while walking, Sophia, Maria, Marnie, and Berkut were fighting the monsters we encountered.

Queen Fraal, Ryuka-san and I were keeping watch from the rear and would catch any that ran away, but we haven’t really had our turn.

Kaede was basically in front to scout for monsters and support Sophia and the others, but right now, she was just informing them of the number of monsters and their locations. Titan was following us at the very back, but he’s had no job to do so far.

「Let’s go the shortest route to the lower floors.」

「Yes, let’s quicken our pace a bit.」

Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san had a map of this dungeon, so they knew the shortest distance to the lower floors.

We weren’t going to stay in the dungeon for several days this time, so we decided to go directly to the deeper floors.

◇

We traversed the dim dungeon at a quick pace.

Kaede was running at the forefront and notifies us of enemies.

「A group of Kobold Soldiers on the right path, six!」

Hearing this, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie broke off into a run.

A Kobold Soldier was a higher form the Kobold that also evolves to knights, general, and lords.

「Maria, right! Marnie, left! Berkut assist!」

「「「Yes!」」」

Sophia was equipped with a one-handed sword and round shield, and she killed the first dagger-wielding Kobold Soldier in one swing.

Maria lunged with her spear, Explode, stabbing a Kobold Soldier in the neck, then tore the head off of another.

Dual dagger wielding Marnie quickly closed the gap, slitting and beheading her targets.

Berkut charged at the singular Kobold Soldier that escaped to a wider passage using her Gunlance Rod. The spear processed from a crystalized dragon fang had pulverized the head of its enemy.

The six Kobold Soldiers were quickly dispatched without so much as a decent fight.

「As expected of Iruma-dono’s wives. The monsters on the higher floors are of no match.」

「Indeed. Let’s just collect the magic stones and head to the deeper levels.」

Ryuka-san and I helped harvest the magic stones from the defeated Kobold Soldiers.

During that time, Kaede, Titan, and Queen Fraal watched our surroundings.

「Okay, let’s hurry.」

We skillfully retrieved the magic stones and moved towards the stairs to the next floor.

According to Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san’s information, this dungeon starts having traps midway through the floors. As such, we didn’t have to worry about traps on the initial floors, and could take it easy so long as we watch out for monsters.

The higher floors were inhabited by Kobold-types, Goblin-types, Orc-types, and Ogre-types.

That said, there was frequent appearances of one or two higher tier evolutions of any of these monsters.

As we descended the levels, we learned that kings and lords appear in the boss rooms.

Queen Fraal informed us that the Dragon-types appeared inthe lower levels.

「Since we’ve come all this way, we should get the meat and magic stones of the dragon-types.」

「Indeed. Since we are accompanied by Iruma-dono’s party, the amount we procure is irrelevant.」

「Yes, please send some to Accuros.」

Between Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san, the amount they could take home was limited, so we could do that much for them. If we didn’t have the map that Queen Fraal carried, we couldn’t go at the pace we’re currently at.

We were sprinting through the higher floors at a quick pace.
