Dungeon Outbreak
“Okaa-san〜, what are we having for today〜?”
“U〜n, I wonder what I should make? What does Tina want to eat?”
“Errr, err…..I like everything Okaa-san makes!”
“Fufu, that makes me happy, but maybe it’ll help if you tell me what you’d like to eat?”
“Erーm……huh? Okaa-san, something is shaking, you know?”
“Un? Oh my, you’re right. I wonder if it’s an earthquake? But, I guess it’ll be alright since the tremor isn’t that great. Let’s quickly go home, shall we”
“Yeーs!”
◇◇◇
“What is it, this tremor?”
As I’m reading documents in the Guild Master’s office, the Guild’s building suddenly started shaking. The tremor isn’t that great, but it’s continuing for a long time. Even though something like this, hasn’t happened before.
When I stood up and was about to take a look outside, my room’s door was knocked. I responded, and the receptionist came into the room. She looks quite flustered though; what’s the matter?
“Haa……haa, Gu, Guild……Mas……ter……”
“Oi, calm down. What happened?”
I say, and the receptionist takes several deep breaths and calms herself down. However, it didn’t change that her face is ashen.
“Just now, Regul and the others, the three of them who had gone to investigate the dungeon alongside the Adventurers, returned. ……however, the three of them are the only ones that returned, it seems all the other Adventurers were annihilated. And then, they say that the tremor just now is……the monsters overflowing”
The moment I heard the receptionist’s words, I shoulder the axe I used back when I was active and dash out of the room. The first floor was packed with Regul and the others, who sit down completely exhausted, and the Adventurers, who surround them. Barren, the Vice Guild Master, was there amongst them as well.
“Barren, did you hear the story?”
“Yes. Just some time ago, I sent a staff member to where the town mayor is. I plan to ring the emergency bell from here on out as well”
“I got it. Adventurers E and below, evacuate the civilians! Adventurers D and above will head towards the dungeon with me from here on out! Barren, I’m leaving the commands to you!”
The chaps, they immediately start moving noisily at my words. I too leave the Guild and head for the dungeon. Around that time, the bell that’s rung during an emergency reverberates in the town.
The civilians were bewildered by that bell, but perhaps they gradually understood the bell’s meaning, they start moving flusteredly. I head towards the dungeon while pushing my way through that crowd.
When I arrive at the dungeon’s entrance, the battle had already started. They’re still, just the zombies and skeletons on the upper levels, but their numbers are many. Almost 100 of them have already bloody came out.
“What’s the situation?”
“Guild Master!! The situation is that they come overflowing even when we defeat them over and over again. Even though they started appearing just recently, there are this many. Furthermore, I heard it from the fellows who were at the lower parts but……it appears that there are Skeleton Dragons”
Tch, there are even monsters like that huh. I have requested for reinforcement from the nearby towns and the capital but……I wonder if they’ll make it in time? ……what are we going to do if I, the Guild Master, is whining. As I thought of that and was about to rile the Adventurers up, a large tremor incomparable the tremor thus far occurred.
And then, the ground protruded and what suddenly appeared was, a humanoid monstrosity clad in jet-black armour.
Almost 20 of that, appeared from the ground. We were stunned by the monsters that we see for the first time. Shit, are even monstrosities like these appearing! Even the headless armoured knight, Dullahan!
However, there isn’t even time to complain. Before we know it, the Dullahans had drawn their swords and were closing in on us.
By the Dullahans, that started moving even before we let out our voices, we started being pushed back.
◇◇◇
“Ohー, they sure are on a rampageー. Since they’re the special Dullahans that Mylene and I made together, their movements are quicker, and their swordplay is also more refined compared to ordinary ones. Furthermore, it sure is great that they don’t take damage from Light Magic, the weakness of an undead after all is said and done”
“Fufu, it is because they are the crystallisation of Hardt-sama and my love! They will not lose to your run-of-the-mill Adventurers!”
The crystallisation of our love is blowing it up out of proportion. But, I guess it’s fine since it looks like she’s happy.
However, ever since the Dullahans, Sacred Dullahans, we created showed up, they started pushing them back immediately. The Adventurers here sure are weaker than I had thought; even though I went out of my way to prepare Skeleton Dragons, Dullahans, and even Death Wraiths for them.
“……well, whatever. We’re going to kill everybody anyway. Besides, it’s about time Regul has proceeded to the destination huh”
“Yeah. It is about the time that you were talking about after all. Shall we go?”
“Uh-huh. I guess let’s go”
I nod, and Mylene clings to my left arm. And then, when I throw a Magic Crystal onto the ground, our vision immediately changed. Regul, who hangs his head, and two groups of married couples were standing in front of our eyes. Looks like he successfully called them huh.
The two groups of married couples saw Mylene and me, who appeared suddenly, and were surprised with their mouths agape. They sure have gotten plump in the short time I haven’t see them. I suppose they’ve been eating well thanks to those two.
“Wha!? Wh, who are you people!? Furthermore, Regul! Why did you call us here!? We need to be evacuating, you know!”
“That’s right! Bringing us to a place like this even though we need to quickly evacuate!”
A pair of married couple, that shouts at Regul, and a pair of married couple, that looks at the shady us. Kuku, as I thought, I’ve just got to take revenge on these two groups of married couples now that I’ve returned to this town! On Stella and Lig’s parents!
