S Rank In Another World - Chapter 154

We kept walking for a long time until we reached a forest that I had never come to before, I had already come to some forests around here, but that was a difference, it had much more vegetation than the others so it was a little difficult to walk without bumping in nothing,

I was following Sylphe, it was easier for me since she was making her way through the forest with her sword while looking at the map. I don’t know how long we’ve been walking in this forest, but it’s been a long time, I hope we’re coming.

I don’t want to spend the night in a forest like this, I hope we finish this mission before nightfall. If we don’t finish by then we’ll have to camp somewhere, and since we didn’t bring food, it will be a little tricky.

Sylphe is carrying only water, she doesn’t think we’re going to spend that much time here, so she didn’t even bother to prepare any food, if I was so worried I should have done it, but as I’m an idiot I forgot.

‘Well, whatever.’ There are plenty of monsters to hunt around here, we can take meat from various monsters or even look for edible things here in case of an emergency.

“We’re almost there.” While I was distracted thinking about what to do in case something happens, I was brought back to reality by Sylphe’s voice, it seems that we are already arriving at the place where the cave is located.

After walking for a while, we came to an open field where the vegetation was not growing much, there was some grass on the ground but nothing more, and in the middle of the field there was a hole that led down, it was like a ladder .

The entrance was open for anyone to enter, so it is normal for monsters to enter and create nests inside, inside this cave, surely there must be a nest of something.

In most cases they are nests of goblins, but there may also be nests of ogres, kobolds and other things, I hope it is of goblins or kobolds since they are easier to deal with, but as it is a C-RANK cave, I think it’s hard to be that easy.

When we approached the entrance, we noticed that inside it was so dark that it was impossible to see anything, we needed something to light it up, but as I knew how to use fire magic I told her to take only a few torches and when the time comes I can set them on fire.

While I am not in combat I can light the cave on my own with the magic of fire, the torches are for another time.

After she made some torches out of pieces of wood and cloths, I kept them in my bag of items and then got ready to enter the cave. I still had a little doubt if it would be okay for her to go into a place like this, but since she didn’t seem to be bothered, it looks like she won’t have any problems, but even so I decided to ask.

“Are you sure you want to get in there? You won’t feel bad, right?” I said as I looked into the dark cave.

After thinking for a moment, she said, “Don’t worry, a cave won’t be a problem.” She looked very confident, so I just accepted her answer and motioned for us to enter the cave.

After creating a fireball in my hand to use as a light source, we entered the cave while holding our swords, it was time to explore a different place.

When we entered the cave, Sylphe still seemed very calm, she was looking around to see if she found anything, seeing this, I also started to pay attention to everything that was inside the cave.

The cave walls were covered with moss and the cave stairs were natural, it seems that it was carved by nature itself, if it weren’t home to monsters, I would say it is a very beautiful cave to stay or just visit, I would come to visit this place without any problems if you don’t see monsters here.

“You seem to be quite amazed by the structure of the cave, it is very beautiful, isn’t it?” Sylphe also looked very admired by the entire structure of the cave, it is a pity that it is such a dangerous place.

“Yes, I also liked the cave very much, but we have to be careful, something can appear at any time.” We don’t know exactly what’s in here since it was not said in the mission, it was only said that it was a C-RANK level cave.

There can be any kind of monsters around here, so it is better to pay attention elsewhere, as monsters may come from above, or from the floor or even from the walls, but mainly in front of us.

We are not able to see much ahead as my flame only illuminates a certain part, so it is better to pay attention so that something does not come out of the dark and take us by surprise.

“Don’t let your guard down, I think it will be more dangerous from now on.” After descending for a long time, we could not even see the entrance to the cave, we were so deep that we had lost sight of the exit.

As we were already very deep I assumed that it would be more dangerous from now on, well, it’s just logic.

“Don’t worry, I will never let my guard down in such a place.” Sylphe looked very confident, and it calms me down.

I’ve been holding my sword the whole time, so in case something comes up and I can’t use my magic, I can put magic on my sword and use it, it is very powerful and I haven’t used any sword technique in a while.

I’ve been using so much magic that I forgot to use my sword, as I can say, magic is more convenient than a sword. I know that I used a sword in my old life, but because of that and never having the opportunity to use powerful spells like this, I ended up leaving the sword halfway.

I am happy with what I am doing, using only magic is enough for me, but at any moment I will have to use the sword, as now, I should start using it more, go back to my origins.

“You look very happy while looking at your sword in, it’s a surprise since you use a lot of magic.” Sylphe seems to have noticed and got everything I was thinking right.

I think it’s a good time to use the sword again, if only for a little while.

##########

We started to go deeper into the cave while we had our guard up so as not to suffer any surprise attack. Things are calmer than I thought, I thought there would be monsters right near the entrance to protect the nest.

In almost all the caves I went into, there were always guards at the entrance or near the entrance to prevent adventurers from passing, but here it was different, there were no traps or monsters to attack us, and I thank you for that.

“Aren’t things too calm?” Even Sylphe who was beside me started to suspect this, she also knows that things are not like that, and that something is wrong with the monsters that live here.

I still don’t know if any monsters live here, but due to the average level of difficulty, there must be something, it is not possible that there is nothing, at least a large group of goblins must live here to be a C-RANK cave.

A C-RANK cave with goblins always has a King Goblin, if I see any goblin, I have to prepare myself to face another king, which is not so difficult in fact, since the head of any monster of these are very vulnerable.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long before something comes up.” After having descended a lot, now we were on a flat path, there were no more irregularities that led down, I think we reached the depth limit of the cave, or not, since the cave may go deeper.

“Now that we are in a flat place, a monster may appear, it is most likely for me.” I knew there might be a monster here, so I decided to use wind magic to search the cave.

If there are monsters later on I will know and that will make things much easier for us.

“Wait a second.” I asked Sylphe to stay put, and then I closed my eyes and started using wind magic to do a search.

Sylphe seems to have realized that I am using magic but I didn’t say anything, maybe she is afraid that I will lose my concentration, how do I know that she realized even with her eyes closed? It’s simple, I can feel her eyes on me.
