Incubus Banishment

Chapter 23: Uncontrolled Birthing Hole  Fall

The walls inside the dungeon were all shining faintly because of the effect from the inclination of magic power.

Because of that the interior of a dungeon was different from normal cave. We could rapidly get deeper without even preparing any lantern.

But of course there was other obstruction than darkness inside the dungeon.

It was the monsters that kept coming out endlessly.

????GICHIGICHIGICHIGICHI!????

A swarm of Armor Ants was blocking our way while making grinding metallic sound. There was also an Armor Ant Platoon that was leading them. These were the giant insects that attacked Sonya near the city the other day

These must be because the inside of the dungeon was overflowing with monsters.

It seemed that these ferocious carnivore bugs were born inside the same dungeon and attacked other monsters as food. I could also see other monsters running away while ignoring us. It seemed the ants also targeted other monsters. Corpses of monsters like Great Grizzly, Blue Fang, and the like that also attacked the village were scattered on the ground near their feet.

Monsters were heading our way in order to escape from that swarm of ants. In addition the swarm that was chasing hte monsters were also rushing toward our way.

But??that wouldn’t be a serious problem at all for the current us.

?Form Change!?

?Area Detection……Physical Enhancement [Super High]?

???GUGYAAAAAAAH!????

Instant kill.

It didn’t matter how many they were. It didn’t matter even if they surrounded us from all directions.

My penis that could change shape freely and Alicia’s Area Detection left no blind spot. We could keep advancing without pause even though this was our first time inside a dungeon.

Actually I had realized this from my experience in battles until now, but apparently the magic power consumption rate of my skills was really good. I was able to swing around my penis unreservedly with a lot of leeway with my magic power reserve even with it transformed into adamantite.

And with the support from Alicia who could display her full strength without hiding her Gift, there was no reason for us to be pushed into a hard fight. Our dungeon capture was progressing nonstop.

Although letting your guard down was forbidden inside a dungeon. That was all the more true when the dungeon was a saturated type.

And so I also used the sword that Weips-san gave me to keep my magic power consumption at minimum while advancing to the deepest part of the dungeon where the core was located carefully so that we wouldn’t have any problem no matter what kind of irregularity we encountered. But……,

?……Eh? Could it be that’s the core??

I was taken aback when we found that shining orb.

After all we managed to discover the core that formed the dungeon not long since we charged into the dungeon.

It was so easy that it felt like anticlimax.

Certainly we encountered quite a lot of monsters on the way here, but we didn’t encounter anything like monster room??a troublesome place where monsters just kept coming out from all directions without pause??which was said to be something common in a magic saturated dungeon and easily arrived here.

?The dungeon will be cleared if we just break this but……strange.?

I tilted my head in front of the core.

Certainly this dungeon was creating a ton of monster.

But, somehow, it felt like the number was small for a saturated dungeon…….

There was no doubting that monsters were flooding out from this dungeon, and yet if asked whether this dungeon was really that crowded until monsters had to surge out, I really didn’t think so.

Or perhaps I simply didn’t understand because I had no experience of capturing a dungeon, so just this many monsters was actually already considered as crowded for a dungeon?

At the very least it was already crowded that the Armor Ants started preying upon other monsters, so it was highly possible that I was just over thinking it.

?……Erio, We need to destroy the core.?

?Ah, sorry! I was distracted for a bit.?

Alicia poked at my side seeing I was caught up in my discomfort like that.

I came back to my senses and stabbed the core with the penis sword.

*Prang-!*

Although it was an instant dungeon, perhaps because it hadn’t been that long since it manifested, it seemed there wasn’t any monster here that could be considered as boss monster.

Like that we successfully destroyed the core without any opposition.

.

.

.

The dungeon was now reduced into a mere large cave now that the core was destroyed.

We dashed through the passage that was littered with monster corpses while the wall was still shining from the residue magic power.

?Tsu!? I can’t believe it, when we saw that there was no more monster coming out we thought……you two seriously conquered a saturated dungeon alone!? What’s more just by the two of you alone!?

?Unbelievable……I pity the guys who’re rushing to the city to call for reinforcement. Their effort is all for nothing.?

When we returned to the surface, the senior adventurers who were waiting for our return dashed to welcome us happily.

Everyone’s eyes widened seeing the core fragment we brought back as the proof of our success. They couldn’t take off their eyes from it.

After that the seniors cheerfully slapped my shoulder and rejoiced loudly saying things like ?We’re going to carry back the monster materials that you guys defeated too!?.

?T-thank you very much. But still, if I remember correctly there are a lot of things that still need doing even after the dungeon is conquered right? We need to take care of the clean up first.?

?Oops, right you are, right you are. I completely forgot that with how absurd you two are.?

I said those words partly to hide my embarrassment. In respond the seniors slapped their own head saying ?We got too carried away? while showing their agreement.

The clean up after conquering a dungeon.

It was mainly putting up warning sign at the area around the former dungeon.

A dungeon formed the space inside it quite forcefully using the inclination of magic power inside it.

Especially a cave type dungeon that was spreading underground like the one we had just conquered this time, its tendency for such thing was more striking. When it lost magic power due to the core’s destruction, there would be a risk of land subsidence in the area.

And so at the aftermath, it was necessary to do things like cutting down trees, putting up rope, etc, so that people wouldn’t be able to enter the area easily.

Because of that we split up and began working.

Because the dungeon this time didn’t branch off and the path stretched quite straightforwardly, the clean up afterward was also relatively simple to do. There would be a lot of work if this was a normal dungeon because there would be a need for proper mapping of the inside to accurately designate the area that had to be cordoned off.

Like that some time passed with us doing such clean up works.

?……Eh??

It was then, that impossible sight entered my sight.

The seniors who were working around me also screamed almost at the same time.

?W-what they hell is this!??

?What’s going on here!??

?Oi, over there too!? That means, don’t tell me this is……?

?……Erio, trouble.?

And then Alicia came running toward me and said this with a small voice.

?……Over there, a different dungeon from the one that we conquered……?

However Alicia stopped talking midway.

Because she noticed the large cave opening up ahead of my gaze.

And then I met Alicia’s gaze before running toward the seniors who screamed.

And then a sight exactly like we expected was unfolding there.

?It’s not just the monsters that are manifesting in great amount……!?

My voice unintentionally slipped out.

The reason was because those holes that we had just discovered were clearly enveloped in inclination of magic power.

There were at least five of them.

We learned that most likely even more dungeons than that were instantly manifesting in the surrounding area.
