My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 102.2

Chapter 102.2

The 10th Floor

And here, it's still the 10th floor.

[Chill Sssssss]

(Darn it, ended up having to scout on my own)

[Sti stetetetete glance around, stetetetete]

Bending at the waist, lowering my posture, I cautiously proceed through the dungeon corridor like a Japanese Spider-Man. Despite that, for some reason, I've been spotted by a group of monsters. Perhaps the flashy golden bug king suit stands out too much.

[[[Bwan! Uwan! Bubububububu!!]]]

Upon entering a vast space resembling an underground reservoir with a high ceiling, hundreds of giant flies cluster together, flying in disarray like a large lump. It's clear that they are highly alert to my presence.

However, as the group expands like a blooming flower, for some reason, a silver metallic figure emerges from within.

"Hmm!?"

Even though it's a dungeon, I involuntarily widen my eyes. Even though I know it's a monster, there's a subconscious tendency to focus on the figure of a woman.

Hmm, the proportions are good. Excellent, even. The legs are long as if wearing high heels. The buttocks are large, yet the waist is tightly curved. Sexy. Furthermore, the chest is covered with what seems to be a hard outer shell, swelling significantly, and the arms, like the legs, are very slim and long, with four of them.

(Huh, wait something's odd?)

A woman wearing a silver metallic battle suit and a helmet. But upon closer inspection, it's not a helmet; it's the head of a fly itself.

(Eeeeek!!)

The moment I accurately recognize the target, an intense fear runs through my entire body.

(A female version of the fly person!? A monstrous Silver Fly Woman!? No she's commanding hundreds of giant flies. Should I call her the Queen of Flies?)

In any case, I want no part in a direct confrontation. I turn on my heel to retreat.

However, upon seeing that, the Fly Queen waves her hand, and the swarm of giant flies surrounding me simultaneously attacks. Moreover, their movements are clearly more agile than the flies I fought earlier.

[[[Bwan! Uwan! Bubububububu!!]]]

"Move! Smash! Guh! Ouch!"

(Is this a joke? They caught up with me so quickly!?)

Indeed, there's a difference in speed between running and flying. Moreover, when hit by a giant fly's body, the pain is akin to being struck by a cannonball. Damn it, if I keep running like this, I'll fall over soon.

"But, Rock Salt Shield! (Kyubaa!)"

[[[Dogga! Dogaga! Gagarikk!!]]]

Reducing the exposed area by half and shouldering the rock salt shield created with [Salt], I endure the fierce onslaught of the swarm of giant flies.

[Dogga! Gucha! Bija! Garirikk!!]

(Going so far as to chip away at the hard rock salt shield!?)

The swarm of giant flies comes crashing at incredible speed.

Naturally, if they collide with the hard rock salt shield, it's not without consequences. Heads get crushed, and bodily fluids splatter around, scattering in the vicinity. Nevertheless, they relentlessly continue their attacks one after another.

[[[Bwan! Uwan! Bubububububu!!]]]

[[Dogga! Baki!]]"

"Guh surrounded! From the other side too! Take this, Mucus Fog!"

[Bashuuuuuuuuu~!]

A fog of mucus rises like smoke.

And still, the distant giant flies sensed something was amiss and distanced themselves. However, the giant flies that had entered attack mode and accelerated dove into the fog-like mucous. Their wings got entangled, and they crashed one after another.

"Well done! Alright, let's finish them all with a blaze What!?"

As I was about to aim the Fire Wand at the giant flies, I felt something cold on my spine.

In the depths of the corridor, beyond my line of sight, beyond the flying swarm of giant flies, a giant magical circle glowing in shades of red and purple had been silently drawn at the Fly Queen's feet.

And without delay, it was activated.

[[[Hiiiiin! Dobyururara! Dobyuririuza dodododododo!!]]]

What surged out from the glowing red-purple magical circle was a mass larger than a cow, with a milky-white color. Countless giant maggots were pouring out. It was a swarm of giant maggots with sharp jaws.

"You idiot, seriously Guh!? (Gukii!)"

But in my haste to escape, I ended up injuring my limbs. I inadvertently stepped on a nearly crushed giant fly with my right foot, not looking where I was going.

[[[[Dobyuridobyura! Dochadobyu dodododododo!!]]]]

With limbs injured and knees on the ground, a tsunami of giant maggots surged forward.

"A maggot tsunami!!"

Overwhelmed by the sheer force covering the entire corridor, I involuntarily gasped and felt a sense of oppression.

"Ha! This is bad! Slime Rope! Catapult!!"

Instinctively creating a Slime Rope, I launched myself like a pachinko ball.

(Damn it, with my limbs injured, I can't run anymore!)

[Byun! Zaguu!]

"Guah!?"

I thought I narrowly avoided it.

But just as I jumped from the top of the tsunami, a giant maggot that leaped down caught my left calf with its fangs, easily tearing through the suit.

"Kuu! Lotion Field! Lotion Field! Slime Rope! Lotion Field!"

Both legs were now injured. I couldn't run anymore. So, slipping and rolling forward, I deployed a lubricating slime to reduce friction and gain a little distance. Unable to stand upright, my only option was to escape.

However, the giant flies that survived returned, persistently attacking.

"Gu! Gah! Kuh, damn you, you damn flies! Acid Storm!"

A yellow storm of strong acid swept through, dispersing the giant flies. Yet, the creepy milky-white wall, the giant maggot tsunami, still surged forward with a resounding noise.

"Hey, Slime Rope! ([Bya!])"

[[[Dobyuri dodododododo!!]]]

A slime rope shot towards the staircase. Using it as a lifeline, I climbed the stone steps, narrowly escaping the horrifying 10th floor.
