Chapter 037
The next morning, there was still no word from the school, so I send Mai off to school and then enter the 2015 dungeon as usual. There are hardly any people here, so I'm going to try to defeat the drop turtle with my fox spirit form.
As usual, I leave the guild where there aren't many people and enter the dungeon. On the sixth floor, I turn into a fox spirit and proceed while burning the blue bear. As a fox spirit, I can kill a blue bear in an instant, so I can progress quickly.
Next, I roast the goblins on the seventh floor and proceed. I'm really grateful that I don't have to deal with smelly goblins up close. I proceed smoothly on the eighth floor, and descend to the ninth floor.
The terrain on the ninth floor of the 2015 dungeon is a wilderness. Unlike the 2222 dungeon, it's hard to tell where the drop turtle is hiding. It would be easier if I had a detection skill, but unfortunately I don't have one.
As I follow the map and walk in a straight line to the tenth floor, the ground beneath my feet suddenly disappears. However, as a fox spirit, I have a valuable skill called [Sky Walk].
I kicked the air and returned to the edge of the hole, and when I looked at the bottom of the gaping hole, I saw a drop turtle looking up at me. I threw a foxfire into it, and a moment later the hole was closed and a magic stone had fallen out.
Maybe the heat in the hole couldn't escape, so the power of the magic had increased, or maybe the turtle had no magic resistance. I was able to confirm that I could defeat it with one hit, so I decided to proceed to the next floor.
I followed the map and safely arrived at the stairs to go down. At the top of the stairs was a green carpet as far as the eye could see. If the terrain of the ninth floor was this grassland, it would be easy to find the drop turtles, but in dungeons, it's not that easy.
"Bumo, Bumoo!"
I saw an excited, upright walking pig running towards me with a thump. It was an orc, a classic monster in fantasy novels.
As is the case in most novels, the orcs in this world are all male. So they get excited and attack when they see a woman.
Although my body is female now, I consider myself to be mentally male. And yet, I feel an intense sense of fear, perhaps because I'm being pulled by my body.
"Disinfect the filth! Burn it up!"
Given my revulsion, I shoot two foxfires. A pillar of fire rises as the bullets hit the orc, burning it to ashes, not even allowing it to cry out in agony.
The next orc I encounter, I hit with a single foxfire, but that was enough to take him down. It seems that landing two hits was a complete overkill.
Next I tried close combat. I dodged the swinging club and cut its arm with an iron fan. The orc was shocked when its arm fell still holding the club, so I jumped past it, slashed its neck, and it died.
After that I tried killing a few more orcs, but as a fox spirit they were easy to kill. I was confident that I wouldn't have any problems descending to higher levels.
I still had time, so I was wondering whether I should go further or turn back early, when I heard a loud explosion. Explosives don't work on monsters, so it was probably an attack by someone with magical skills.
The orcs on the tenth floor generally only appear alone, but making a sound like that would only attract multiple orcs. Just to be sure, I decided to check the source of the sound.
As I ran and gained height, using [Sky Walk], I could see that the orcs were starting to gather, attracted by the sound. Up ahead I could see a group in camouflage uniform fighting the orcs.
