The footsteps of multiple people were heard on the fifteenth floor where the gray ink colour of the cave stretched out
âIt looks like the seniors are back.â
It seems that the footsteps alone made it clear.
Inagaki Kasane is a so-called genuine new second-generation child who has a father of a first-class explorer and an uncle with a second-class calling. He has been enthusiastic about gifted education since he was a child, and he seems to be famous in the area of ââexplorers as a child prodigy.
Tenji and Asagiri stood up in succession, and other explorers also stood up.
Perhaps they were surprised that everyone stood up and waited for themselves, and the Godo and his group sped up their pace. In the end, they were almost printing.
âOh, were we late?â
âMasaki-san! Youâre so late!â
Ushiro, carrying a light blue bellows sword on his waist, replied in a hurry.
Seeing that, Godo had a question mark on his head.
âWhat happened? Itâs still before the meeting time?â
âMore than that, how was it on your side?â
âOh, that ⦠there was a passage, but there was no way up. There was only a way down. What about the other teams?â
Three explorers other than Ushiro immediately shook their heads at the words of Godo. Apparently, it was a failure. Three of the dungeon paths that extend were blocked out of the 5.
Seeing that, Ushiro had a âNo wayâ kind of look.
âI checked the way we came, but the road was completely blocked. I tried to attack it just in case, but the walls of the dungeon didnât even shake. Were the other roads the same too? â
Perhaps he didnât want to believe it, he turned his eyes to the chariot explorers again.
Still, everyone talked about the situation they saw while shaking their heads.
âWe found a complete dead end. Iâve found some branched roads, but they all didnât work.â
âWe were also all blocked.â
âMy team tooâ
Almost everyone here understood just by exchanging words.
The existence of an unstable dungeon that Godo said.
A shaking peculiar to an unstable dungeon.
The roads we took to get here were blocked, and all the roads going up were blocked.
The only way to go was down.
Godo exhaled as he had thought, and slowly raised his face.
âI see, we were definitely involved in a dungeon structural change. Itâs not just a dungeon structural change ⦠weâre also trapped in here.â
âTh, then what should we do!?â
A young explorer youth shouted while trembling.
Still, none of the regular members of the chariot were upset and turned their eyes to the young man with serious eyes.
Ushiro answered the young manâs cry with a serious look.
âWe probably have no choice but to proceed.â
âPr, proceed to a lower level!? I, I heard that we were only diving down until the 15th level, so I participated! I would have too much on my shoulder at the lower levels!â
âItâs okay, thereâs that Godo in this raid, and there are 15 regular members of the chariot. Even if this dungeon turns into a second-grade dungeon, the monsters still wouldnât be our opponent. â
The majestic words of the Ushiro convinced the explorers here.
ââIf itâs a chariot, surely it will be fine.
Chariot is known as one of the highest-level guilds in the world. Above all, it was famous as one of the top 10 guilds in Japan.
It is famous as one of the worldâs leading guilds because of the strict conditions for joining, the strictness of daily training and the quotas that were open to the public.
At the forefront of the chariot, let alone the famous Godo, everyone feels a strong sense of security from those words.
âYes, as Ushiroo said. We Chariots wouldnât die in a dungeon at this level.â
Godo laughed and replied as if he agreed with Ushiroâs words.
However, he immediately switched his expression to a serious one and said to Ushiro.
âBut itâs a little different, right Ushiro?â
âMasaki-san?â
âAs I told you before, an unstable dungeon can even change the monsterâs algorithm. Iâm not sure, but itâs possible that the average monsterâs grade is raised.â
âHa, has that happened in the past?â
âOh, there was. I didnât do anything because I had Senior Enn, but this time there is no strong man like Senior Enn. I have to focus my mind.â
The shout of Godo inspired everyone in the chariot.
For chariot, Masaki Godo could be such a spiritual pillar.
ââIf you team up with Masaki Godo, you will bring out 120% of yourself.
As such words are widespread, Godo specializes in the ability to maximize the abilities of his peers and is extremely clever.
âBut Iâll tell you one thing.â
As if he noticed something, Godo opened his mouth to everyone.
âThere is a way to stay here and wait for rescue. Well, in this case, we may have food shortages.â
â⦠Wait for rescue?â
A female explorer in her mid-twenties, who was in the fifth row, asked.
She has been very shaken earlier, and she may have found light in the sudden news of not moving forward.
Godo started talking to her as if he seemed to try to remember something.
âIn China, when a dungeon changes, they would immediately dispatch a first-class explorer or higher to the dungeon and start a rescue operation. There is no unstable dungeon in Japan, so this is the first case. However, that zero-class explorer is always free in this country. It is also a choice to wait without eating until he comes to rescue us.â
âBut there are onlyâ¦â
âYeah, we only brought two weeksâ worth of food. Itâs a pretty risky way.â
âRi, right ⦠itâs not realistic.â
âThatâs why I think we should move on. If we go a little bit further, we may be able to find a way to go up. But as we go, the number of battles will increase and the food consumption will increase too. We will decide by majority vote. Any questions?â
No one disagreed with that opinion.
âThen, raise your hand if you thing we should stay here.â
Only a young man and two female explorers raised their hands.
None of the other explorers raised their hands.
âThen, raise your hand if you think we should move on.â
Godo laughed invincibly when he saw the other 32 people raising their hands without hesitation.
âYou have good guts. Explorers donât pull back, but move forward. That is the only way to become a successful explorer.â
That was a quote from a real explorer who was a successful explorer.
The young men and female explorers who did not raise their hands were a little embarrassed, but they swallowed their words firmly and set fire to their fighting spirit.
Of course, the other explorers also got fired up after hearing those words.
âFrom now on, itâs a battle between monsters and food. At worst, you can survive even if you eat the meat of your friends. This is because we are in such a world.â
Only at this time, the existence of Godo seemed to be big to everyone.
For the students, it was an unknown event that they didnât mentally prepare themselves for. Still, they wanted to follow Godo.
âOh, and also. Students, this should be an important experience for you. If you survive, you can be proud of it. Come on, letâs go! I wonât allow anyone to die from here! Show me your seriousness!â
They were swallowed up by the transformation of the dungeon and completely trapped.
Still, they chose the only remaining path to the bottom and decided to proceed.
âBut they donât know about the evil monsters that slept below them.
