𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟕: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞

The dungeon has been coming along nicely, and the results of my special training are finally starting to show.

The goblins are still living there and it’s annoying, and to make matters worse, a few new goblins have appeared from outside, which is really unpleasant, but it’s not that big of a problem.

On the contrary, there is some benefit to having those goblins around.

ㅤ

That benefit is DP.

Until now, it didn’t matter because all intruders died immediately, but DP also comes in when intruders are inside the dungeon.

With all the goblins combined, we’re getting about 1,000 DP a day.

This is not a number that can be ignored.

It’s like getting paid rent.

I’m starting to think that it’s okay for them to stay on the first floor and not advance to the second floor.

Also, except for the Living Armor-senpai, who can’t move from the boss room, there’s no one in our party who can defeat the Goblin Champion, so we have no choice but to leave them alone anyway.

ㅤ

So, I don’t care about the goblins anymore.

Let’s just leave them be.

ㅤ

But let’s talk about our training. 

The fact that I achieved results, such as being able to move the Living Armor-senpai and traps skillfully, is one thing, 

but more importantly, I acquired new skills.

Their names are [Parallel Thinking: Lv1] and [Arithmetic Ability: Lv1].

Both are skills that assist in the functioning of the brain.

Thanks to parallel thinking, it became easier to move the Living Armor-senpai and traps at the same time,

and thanks to arithmetic ability, I can now move while constantly calculating the position and activation points of traps.

Thanks to this, I was finally able to defeat the middle-aged zombie without relying on status-based brute force!

This is a great progress.

If I continue my training and increase my skill level, I can expect further improvement in combat power.

As expected, my strategy of controlling the Living Armor-senpai was not wrong!

Let’s keep doing our best!

ㅤ

While I was continuing my training with that thought in mind, I sensed the presence of an intruder again.

Is it another goblin?

With a feeling of annoyance, I checked the monitor, only to find out that the intruder was a human.

It’s not really surprising, but I’ve only seen goblins for the past few days, so it’s kind of fresh.

I guess I’m getting more relaxed to be able to think about such things.

ㅤ

So, this time, the intruders were one man with a spear and three women.

Just like the first three intruders and the middle-aged zombie from before, they all look like adventurers.

Are they really adventurers?

Are they the ones who have the occupation called adventurer?

Yeah.

Let’s call them adventurers.

ㅤ

The adventurers explored the cave while one of the women held a lantern to light the way.

At this rate, they might run into the goblins.

I would be happiest if they both ended up losing.

So, I used appraisal to investigate whether these adventurers could defeat the goblins.

ㅤ

Then, an unexpected result came out.

ㅤ

Here are the appraisal results for the male adventurer I saw

If we’re talking about simple stats, he’s about the same as the middle-aged zombie.

In other words, weaker than a middle-aged zombie when it was alive.

However, he has magic skills.

ㅤ

But that’s not the point.

This guy has the same unique skill as me.

ㅤ

It’s the first time I’ve met someone else with a unique skill besides myself.

. . .Isn’t this dangerous?

Considering how overpowered my Grand Magic-senpai is, if this guy’s unique skill “True Equipment” has the same performance as Grand Magic-senpai, the goblins won’t stand a chance.

Depending on compatibility, he might even be able to overcome the deadly poison floor.

Moreover, there’s even a possibility that he could defeat the Living Armor-senpai.

This is bad!

ㅤ

Oh, calm down!

First, take a deep breath!

ㅤ

“Hic, Hic, Hoo!”

ㅤ

Okay, I’m calm now!

Next, let’s appraise the details of this “True Equipment” thing!

ㅤ

🔸🔸🔸

ㅤ

Huh?

I don’t really understand. 

For now, I understand that this “True Equipment” is a unique skill that can be acquired after the fact, but the explanation of its effect is incomprehensible.

What?

Manifesting one’s true armament?

It’s a word that makes my eighth-grade syndrome itch, but what I want now is not a difficult and obscure expression, but a specific explanation of the effect.

If you don’t know the effect, you can’t come up with a countermeasure!

ㅤ

. . .But, well, there’s nothing you can do about what you don’t understand.

Considering his status, he’ll have to use his true equipment if he fights the Goblin Champion, so we’ll have to analyze it at that time.

Thinking about it that way, the goblins are a little useful too.

This is what they mean by turning a disaster into a blessing.

ㅤ

That being said, let’s appraise our female companions next.

If they all have unique skills, I won’t be able to believe my eyes. . .

Please, let it not be the case.

This is. . .unexpected in a different way.

First of all, it’s a pleasant surprise that they were not skilled but rather weak.

Moreover, I think only Hannah, a female, can be considered a combatant.

ㅤ

However, the displayed abnormal state was unexpected.

Those three were slaves.

In other words, being a slave is considered an abnormal state. . .

Let’s do a detailed appraisal of the slave item just in case.

ㅤ

🔸🔸🔸

ㅤ

Hmm.

The term “slave mark” is a bit fantasy-like, but it’s generally as expected.

So, are these three just meat shields?

No, they might have been brought here to fight goblins.

In fact, Hannah, who has swordsmanship skills, can probably defeat goblins.

Ana is a healer, and Clara, who doesn’t have any skills. . .is just a baggage carrier?

ㅤ

Or, there’s a possibility that they are sex slaves.

Those three are quite beautiful, although not as much as me.

Hannah and Ana are around the same age as me or a little older.

Clara is about middle school age.

It wouldn’t be strange if they were used to satisfy that man’s sexual desires.

Well, in that case, it raises the question of why he brought sex slaves to a cave.

ㅤ

In any case, Kevin is the only one worth being cautious of.

However, he is the only one with a unique skill and gives off the feeling of a formidable enemy.

I must defend myself with all my might.

ㅤ

I glared at the invading party’s figure through the monitor on the first floor.
