Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?-Chapter 596: Dungeon Exploration 2

Dungeon middle floor, grassland field type.

There was supposed to be a large orc colony here.

It feels a bit weird for there to be colonies in a dungeon, but the dungeons themselves were beyond my understanding, so it’s pointless to think about it.

「There’s an Orc King. There may be two hundred overall.」

「Right. But even so, there’s not a single ordinary orc.」

The best among us at searching for enemies, Kaede informed us of the scale of the colony.

「In this dungeon, evolved species such as the soldiers, archers, and mages were the baseline.」

「Orc meat is delicious, let’s hunt them, Iruma-dono.」

「Okay. The purpose of this dungeon dive was to help my partners to regain battle instincts and level up, after all. If there’s a large colony then of course we would take them down.」

「Queen Fraal loves Orc King meat after all.」

「Ryuka, is it not also your favorite?」

As we observed the colony while concealing our presence, Ryuka-san and Queen Fraal spoke.

I don’t know why, but there’s a tendency for monster meat to taste better the higher the species was. The same holds true for the orcs, and it was even the favorite of the two.

The instant we discovered the orc settlement, there was a change in the sparkle in their eyes and it seems that was the reason.

「Should everyone attack with magic here?」

「Don’t do large scale magic. If you and Sophia seriously fired magic, all that would be left is an empty lot.」

When we suggested going in with a barrage of magic to destroy the monster colony, Queen Fraal told us to not use magic that was too big.

I mean sure, if Sophia, Maria, and I seriously used magic, it would end there. Moreover, we were here with Queen Fraal as well as Berkut and her Gunlance Rod. It would definitely devastate the land.

「Then let’s begin. ……fire!」

At my order, everyone excluding Kaede, Titan, and Marnie fired off their respective spells.

The projectiles that hit the colony simultaneously were a mixture of fire, wind blades, ice bullets, and lightning.

The orc colony fell into a panic immediately.

「Gonna circle to the back okay~!」

「Going ahead!」

Just as we had fired our spells, Kaede sprinted in a roundabout path to avoid getting hit by it.

At the same time, Marnie ran with her two daggers in hand.

「Ｍａｓｔｅｒ， Ｉ， ｔｏ ｔｈｅ ｒｉｇｈｔ.」

Titan also accelerated ahead with the Magic Jet Propeller on his back.

「I will support Marnie-san! Please take care of Queen Fraal!」

Ryuka-san followed after Marnie.

「Jeez, that Ryuka, she just wants to go wild.」

「Ha, haha, let’s go in too.」

Queen Fraal seemed eager to fight in close combat, as she took out a one-handed sword and began running.

「Takumi-sama, Maria and I will begin extermination from the left.」

「Heading in!」

Sophia and Maria started circling in from the left side.

I tailed Queen Fraal to support her.

She was the strongest in Accuros so she would have been fine, but she was still the Queen after all.

Marnie dashed into the vicinity of an Orc General, which was one size larger than an ordinary orc.

Each time, an orc’s agonizing screams and death cries could be heard.

The Orc General grew excited at Marnie’s presence.

In order to prevent her daggers from getting wedged into the Orc General’s muscles, Marnie cut its defenseless neck and vocal chords, not stopping for even a second.

In contrast to Marnie, Ryuka-san’s fighting style was very much that of the Oni Tribe.

G O O O O N !!

Unfazed by the massive Orc Soldier, she swung her fists and took it down.

Those fists were equipped with the gauntlets I gave to her as a present.

Ryuka-san channels 『Ki』 and 『Magic Power』 into those gauntlets.

Sophia and Maria coordinated to defeat the orcs at a staggering pace.

The two had known each other for the longest time so their coordination was outstanding.

From the right side, Titan mowed down the colony.

Titan, who boasts a larger frame than even the Orc General, crushed the orcs with its giant adamantite alloy fists.

The orc heads suddenly flying in the backlines were Kaede’s doing too.

From my peripheral, I caught a glimpse of Queen Fraal’s elegant swordsmanship as she killed the orcs while also defeating Orc Archers and Orc Mages.

She prioritized eliminating ranged enemies.

Now, I fought mainly using martial arts.

Domu!

『Bufoooo!』

When I used a palm heel strike on the chest of the Orc Archer, that attack stopped its heart.

My fighting style was to cause internal damage through the surge of 『Ki』 and 『Magic Power』 in addition to the palm heel strike’s impact.

This was to train to fight while utilizing 『Alchemy』.

The orc colony that was over two hundred strong had the Orc King as a boss which was defeated by Sophia, Maria, and Marnie, and it took no time at all to completely annihilate the colony.

Perhaps because it was still a relatively high floor, Sophia and the others were able to defeat the boss nearly instantly despite being an Orc King,

Now then, shall we get the loot?
