Happy Monday!

I know the last chapter made some people upset when Commander Saran died, myself included, but dont worry, he shows up every once in a while whenever Akira reminisces and thinks about the things that hes taught him. On that note, heres the new chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

Within a certain study

It seems that you have successfully eliminated the hindrance.

Yes. Lets reward the Night Raven.

Aah. even so, that Saran was gotten rid of quite easily.

Your Majesty the King desired it, so we would not fail. The curses on those besides the hero were also completed, and whats left is the pretext for a war with the eastern country?

For that, it should be fine to say that they are sheltering criminals or something. And that kid would probably die in a gutter somewhere anyways.

Yes. Everything is according to the will of Your Majesty the King.

The plan was steadily moving forward.

In a place where the people concerned werent aware of.

Leaving the castle, I immediately went into the dungeon.

If there is ever a time when you are framed for a crime and have to run away, there is no better hiding spot than the dungeon. Its full of mazes, and there are many places where you can hide. We will also be careful so that it doesnt happen, however, if it inevitably does happen, go to the Continent dungeon and aim for Lv. 100. If its you, perhaps.

Commander Sarans words came to mind.

When I thought about how we couldnt meet anymore, the corner of my eyes welled up with tears, but I shook my head and cleared my mind.

Right now, Im in the dungeon where danger lurked everywhere.

If Im not vigilant at all times, the me right now who was not in any party will get killed immediately.

In addition to that, my occupation was one that was not good with going against multiple opponents.

If I were to be surrounded, no matter what rank the monsters were, it would be deadly.

Tsk! haa, Im finally at the fifth floor, huh. I had thought that there would be a lot of people early in the morning, but unexpectedly, theres no one here.

I insta-killed a goblin that had flew out from the next passageway with a knife that I had stolen from the castle, and sighed a breath of relief.

The scope of my Lv. 4 Perception was up to fifty meter in radius.

If there was a monster that had Lv. 5 Stealth and had concealed its presence, I wont be able to detect them, but there werent that many that had skill levels above Lv. 3 in the upper levels, and it was a relief if there werent any monsters within the fifty meter radius.

With the method that I had learned from the knights of the chivalric order earlier, I removed the magic stone from the goblins chest.

There were many cases where humanoid monsters had magic stones in their chests, and there were beast-type monster that had magic stones as well, but the drop rate for the humanoid ones were higher by far.

That was, the same for the dungeon expedition from before.

And, the larger magic stone, the higher the price.

However, it was mainly used by magicians to channel their magic.

Theres magic power within magic stones, and if it was someone who used magic, they would be able to take some of that magic and transform it into their own.

For the low level monster like the goblin, the size was usually around the size of the pinkys fingernail.

With just that much, it wouldnt even be displayed on the skills column, anyone can conjure fire with lifestyle magic.

When I think about the future, in order to avoid exhausting my MP as well, it was something that I wanted a large amount of by all means.

Since theres no harm in having some on hand.

I muttered that, and put the purple magic stone in the place where I usually kept my hidden weapon within my black clothes.

The retrieval of the hidden weapons afterwards was annoying, so I only had a few of them.

And Ill only use shadow magic when its necessary, so it should be fine.

Thanks to my stealth being at max level, even if the monster was walking right in front of me, I would be able to stay calm.

Of course, it wasnt like a monster that had eyes like Commander Sarans didnt exist, so Ill be vigilant, but since they dont have it, its much easier.

If I concealed myself, it was also possible to break their necks as I walk by.

There was a large amount of monsters in front of me who died without knowing who killed them or how they died.

There were even magic stones in seven of them, and there was a surplus of them, so in order to raise my skill level, I continuously used perception at full power.

Upon leveling up, the range will widen, so to an extent, leveling up was easy to understand.

I had came just a few days ago, so I remembered most of the routes, and I found the stairs that descended to the lower level without getting lost.

Wanting to go down to the thirtieth floor by the end of the day, I, stepped forward onto those stairs without hesitation, and stopped.

The threat detection skill was sounding a warning.

When I took out a small magic stone and threw it, the moment it hit the ground, an arrow pierced into the place right next to that magic stone.

How scary. It might also be a good thing to be killed-on-sight in an upper level like this.

It was coated with poison, the arrow aimed at the vitals, and there was no way that it was a set up, but even so, it was extremely dangerous.

There was nothing like this when I came here before, but when was it set up?

After that, I went down to the thirtieth floor without even taking a break.

During that time, there were seven monster house traps like the one from before, and there were twenty of the traps where arrows or elementary level magic came flying like the one just now.

TN: monster house traps are traps where, upon activation, a lot of monsters come rushing in, like the one where the rat-like monsters came out of the wall when one of the classmates activated the trap.

I avoided all of them, and although the threat detection skill leveled up, this may be a good way to temper it.

I met a few groups of people that seemed to be parties of adventurers on the way, but they passed by me without realizing that I was in stealth.

Now then, from here on out is an unknown world.

I successfully defeated the Minotaur and stood there, and when I turned around, I surveyed the surroundings.

It was dim within the dungeon in the first place, and the lamps that were evenly lined up alongside the wall were emitting a yellow glow.

The ceiling was approximately ten meters high, and the Minotaur was five meters, so perhaps a monster that was even bigger than the Minotaur will appear.

When I thought about that, my heartbeat quickened with a doki doki.

To be excited in the face of danger, did it mean that I too am a man?
