Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 522 Dungeon exploration (2)

Chapter 522 Dungeon exploration (2)

It didn't take the adventurers long to clear out the slimes that were gathered in front of the entrance.

These were slimes, they weren't that powerful in the first place.

When they returned, they all had happy looks on their faces.

But those happy looks quickly disappeared when they saw the sour look that was on Cecilia's face.

They couldn't help feeling worried that they had done something wrong, so they quickly took their position in the formation.

However, that worry didn't come true in the end.

Cecilia didn't even bother saying anything to them as she just simply said, "Keep moving forward."

The adventurers couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they did look at Cecilia with a strange look after hearing this.

It was as if they couldn't believe what was happening.

Cecilia had trained them quite harshly these past few days which had caused them to form a slight phobia towards her.

Now that she had fallen silent like this, it really was strange for them.

It was a feeling that they couldn't get used to…

The team continued forward without encountering much trouble.

Most of the slimes had been taken out by the adventurers earlier and those that appeared were instantly taken out by the guards and knights. There was nothing that stood in their way as they advanced deeper into the dungeon.

While we were heading deeper, Cecilia suddenly looked at me and said, "If there was a space behind the wall, does that mean that someone intentionally created this dungeon?"

I couldn't help being surprised by this question.

It wasn't the content of the question that I was surprised by, but rather that she was asking this question.

I thought that I had made it clear enough that there was someone behind this dungeon, but it didn't seem like Cecilia had understood that.

If I had said it more clearly, would she have acted normally then?

After all, she had a look on her face that seemed like she had figured out something very challenging after thinking deeply for a long time.

I just gave a sigh and said, "That's right."

Cecilia revealed a look on her face almost as if she was proud of herself for figuring this out.

Seeing this, I really didn't know what to say.

But at the very least, she went back to normal after figuring this out, so I guess that was good enough for now.

As we continued deeper into the dungeon, Cecilia suddenly said to me, "This is where we were ambushed."

When I heard this, I immediately focused on the surrounding area.

But then I couldn't help asking, "Are you sure that it was here?"

Cecilia gave a nod in response.

I looked around again and just couldn't figure out how she knew that this was the area..

After all, she said that there was something that came out of the ground, but there were no holes at all here.

Was it because the dungeon had repaired itself?

Or was it because this was simply the wrong place?

The fact that Cecilia had spent so long thinking about what I had said before to only figure out something that I had already stated did play a factor here.

But in the end, I trusted what Cecilia said.

I pulled out an orb and injected some of my mana into it.

When this orb received the mana, there was a ball of light that came from it.

This ball of light floated into the air before creating a beam of light that shined down.

This was a special magic item that I had received from the treasures that the fourth prince gave me. This was a magic item that created a light when injected with mana.

Though we had torches, that was far from enough.

This was a cave that was large and covered in darkness.

The torches just gave off a little light that was far from being enough to cut through the darkness.

That was why I pulled out this magic item.

When the elves saw me do this, they also started gathering their mana and chanting.

When they finished, there were several balls of light that appeared around them as well that started shining beams of light in the surrounding area.

They were using a spell that had the same effect as the magic item that I used.

This completely lit up the surrounding area.

I gave a grateful nod to the elves before looking around the area.

There were no holes that showed that something had come from under the ground, but there were some chunks of dirt that were scattered around. This wasn't a natural spread of dirt, but rather it looked like something had burst out of the ground and had scattered all of this.

I couldn't help knitting my brows when I saw this.

But before I could do anything else, I suddenly felt something.

This was a feeling that was faint at first, but then it became stronger and stronger until I felt it coming from right beneath us.

Or rather, it was coming from a certain area right beneath us.

I could see that the elves also felt the same, but there was no time for us to tell everyone about this.

The only thing that we could do was…

I immediately controlled the light of the ball to create a spotlight.

This spotlight shined down on an area that was right in between the mercenaries and the adventurers.

The elves were confused by this at first, but then they quickly understood what I was doing.

They controlled their magic lights to do the same as my magic light.

With all of these lights, a very clear area was marked out where there were some adventurers and mercenaries standing there.

Seeing this, I quickly shouted, "Move out of the range of the light right now!"

The adventurers and mercenaries were completely caught off guard when they heard this.
