Opening An Orphanage In Another World - Chapter 456
[Inside Rock and Sea Dungeon]
[Samurai Jacks point of view]
Don’t give up! Ray, Mile and the other have show us that there is indeed a way for us to bypass this silver barrier and get inside Estel. Now, we should just find a way to go into the Ice Dungeon and that will be the first step for us to solve this problem
“Dammit. So many of these damn Loa Carcolh” [Swordman adventure]
“And this devil also… They’re taking the appearance of a baby…” [Female elf adventure]
“Feel bad about killing them, but given how they’re the one that comes to slit our throats” [Axeman adventure]
“Twin Blade: Sword of light and dark” [Bladel]
The captain of the Valkyrie, with her newfound weapon of light, cleave the path ahead.
“Still… It’s endless” [Valkyrie A]
“And without the heroes, our stamina drain faster when facing against them” [Knight A]
“But, this is what all of us will face someday, when those tens confront the fallen god directly…” [Naoto]
“And for that…” [Jacks]
Taking on the giant mermaid devil that suddenly appear behind us, I cleave the head with help from the blessing of the holy beast of wind. It try to launch a surprise attack through one of the pond that are scattered around the ancient tunnel, but my I’m ever grateful for my sharp sense to detect it, making the surprise attack a failure for the mermaid
“This isn’t going anywhere…” [Syah]
“But for them… For my sons and daughters! I will not give up!” [Lin]
“You got that right honey!” [Borg]
“That doesn’t mean Syah is wrong though… We are basically just running around now without any proper plan” [Mimi]
“That, I am well aware of… Even my strange ability just bring us this far” [Qudus]
The archeologist from Malsia, Qudus, can detect if something is wrong through his special ability m He describe that if he felt something is wrong, his palm will start feeling numb, a numb where he describe as something strange and special, something which he take advantage of to avoid danger when he was once, a bandit traveler inside this very same dungeon
“This spot…” [Kanji]
“It’s spacious. Let us take a break” [Naoto]
“Agree. Who know how many hours we have been running and fighting” [Valkyrie B]
They are right. Even when there are senses of urgency in all of us, neither of us will disagree for a small break like this. There are no monster, devils nor fake doppelgangers around, so we should take this opportunity to rest first before doing anything else
“Can you reach you son and daughter?” [Naoto]
“Unfortunately no. They might be inside an ancient tunnel where the line from communication stones couldn’t reach them. Well, that, or we are the one in that situation” [Lin]
“Both also seems plausible” [Dwarf adventure]
“I tried calling Mrs Saga and the other as well. Same result” [Seo Ah]
~Screech~
“What’s wrong, Birdie?” [Kana]
“This steel bird golem seems restless” [Lily]
“Maybe because. Bird dislike. Confined space.” [Kadeus]
From how Birdie react to Kadeus words, we can all agree that is indeed the case. As it try to move it wings around, the golem created by Ash, unintentionally release some light breeze magic that ventilate the area. It feels nice as the gentle wind touches our sweaty body, and none seems to want it stop
(I can even feel Birdie’s mana going out into one of the tunnel…) [Jacks]
Since Birdie was also blessed by the same blessing as I am, It feels like his mana and mine are one and the same. I can imagine the tunnels in which the wind escape…
(Isn’t this… Too realistic) [Jacks]
It feels like I can actually see it for myself, even when I am here.
~Jacks started to get up and looking around~
“What’s wrong Mr Jacks?” [Seo Ah]
“Hmm… This seems good enough” [Jacks]
This tunnel here is dark, and aside from the entrance, I can’t actually measure the length, width and depth of the tunnel
“Can you help me with something” [Jacks]
“What do you want me to do?” [Hunter adventure]
“Birdie, you as well” [Jacks]
~Screech~
Seeing as I am trying something new, all of them started to gather around. I ask the Hunter adventure to go inside the dark tunnel, and with his good night vision he determine the length width and depth of the tunnel, without telling me any of it. I close my eyes and ask Birdie to use it breeze magic once more, specifically, directing it inside the tunnel and
(I was right! I was able to detect the mana… No. It almost feels like I am one with the wind mana itself) [Jacks]
“Jacks, what is with that smile?” [Bladel]
“Nothing. Just that the tunnel measure around 2 meter in height, with width of 4.5 meter at it largest, and the hunter adventure just went in around 70 meter before stopping, am I right? Oh, there is also the rocky herbs here and there inside the tunnel” [Jacks]
“That… That was all correct!” [Hunter adventure]
Needless to say, all of them quickly come to the same conclusion as I am
“I see… By utilizing this as well as my unique ability…” [Qudus]
“How about we get started right away. Birdie, Qudus and Mr Jacks, are you ready?” [Kana]
“”Yes”” ~Screech~ [Jacks, Qudus, Birdie]
And thus, all of us start to get up and start exploring the tunnels once more. With the three of us combines, the exploration is much much better, yielding faster results as we can quickly find the tunnels that we should take, until
“This is…” [Valkyrie B]
“Hey! Isn’t that!” [Anjin]
“So you guys actually find your way out from the Rock and Sea dungeon” [Khamishah]
Our combined effort pay off! We are currently inside the Open Field Dungeon. Seeing Mrs Saga and the S rank siblings confirms it all
“Not only them” [Kucin]
The Black Cat S rank lady pointed out her finger into one of the many tunnels in this area, where
“”””RAY! MILE!”””” [Syah, Mimi, Borg, Lin]
“”Father! Mother! You two as well!”” [Syah, Mimi]
Looks like it’s all connected after all. Traveler king from the past, you aren’t here no more, but I feels like we owe you a big one, for creating this ancient tunnel
