The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 75 - Don't Use Common Sense On Him

Our dungeon exploration is doing well. Extremely well in fact that even Ellen surprised about it. She was supposed to be the most experienced one among us. Not even Victoria has entered a dungeon in her past life when she was an aura user. But she said she's experienced it in a video games when she was in her old world.

I don't know what video games is but if it means someone can learn the experience without actually doing it, I'm jealous of people of that world. I need to learn more about that world later.

The only thing that bothering our exploration is Ellen's continuous questions.

"What is that plant monster? Why is Kayla using an earth spike as a weapon? How can Angela kill a monster with a fireball even though she's just a beginner level? How come the fireball is smaller than most beginner level mage's fireball but has more power? And How come those two walk on the ceiling as if it's normal?!"

"I was surprised that Master can walk on the ceiling. But I know that Master is a special being. If he says he can do it, then he will do it."

"Why is a maid worshipping him?!"

Most of the questions is answered by the maid, Lina. Although she can't answer most of the questions asked, she just said "Everything is by Master's will."

Did I end up creating a cult?

"Ellen. I'll tell you as the person who knows him the longest after his summon. The longer you know Roy, the more your common sense shattered. He might has some common sense, but he choose to ignore it most of the time. Try to get used to it."

"How can I get used to not using common sense?!"

Angela said it as a matter of fact. She's right though. Most of the things I taught everyone is not common. Like how to improve magic level faster without the use of Magic Stones, or to control your magic better. But those are things that will be known in the future. I just taught them before the knowledge spread. I think some of them are knowledge that were discovered by Angela herself in the future. But now I'll be the one who get the credit for it.

Anyway, since Ellen is surprised by everything, it's my time to annoy her. Since she keeps talking shit about me.

"Hmm… So you don't know much even though you said you are experienced in this, huh? What's all that experience used for if you only have questions, huh?"

"Ugh… shut up! I'll can tell you about this dungeon that you don't know of! Listen! This dungeon only has one path. Which means there's just one way to the deepest part of this dungeon. And there's no treasure here. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters get. But at the deepest part, the strongest monster here is just orcs. This dungeon is well-known for being low leveled and easy to conquer. That's why it's not popular among hunters."

She explained all she knows about the dungeon. That's also the same information I got from Kayla last night. But as soon as I saw this dungeon, I know all they were wrong. The information is only half right. No. it may be even less than half right. But I won't tell her she's right no matter how little it is. She's annoying after all.

"You are wrong."

"Why do you think I'm wrong? My party has conquered this dungeon twice already. First is because we found it interesting and the second is in case we missed anything during our exploration. And we found nothing different from the information that we got."

"But none of you can stuck on the ceiling."

"Isn't that normal?"

"Sophie. Light."

"Huh? Okay."

I asked Sophie to illuminate the ceiling to a part where I pointed at. It's great that we have two light element magic. Kayla who stay as the vanguard who keeps her light magic on and holding a spike in one hand, and Sophie who stays in the middle.

As Sophie light the ceiling, everyone now can see there's a hole on it. It might only be able to fit one person, but it is still a path everyone missed since the dungeon is dark.

"There are many holes like this on the way. Inside, there are monsters and some of them are stronger than an orc. The path inside also branched. Although this one over here has no treasure inside, there's a monster inside."

"What?! How?!"

"The dungeon we're in is going down deeper and deeper. That means there are rooms above this path we walked. Then the path will be like a maze. No longer just like this floor we're walking that only has one way to go."

"Why didn't you tell us? Don't tell me you just wanted to annoy Ellen?"

"Nope. There's no need to tell anyone because the fastest route to a treasure chest is the one at the deepest area of this floor. There's a hole in the ceiling that will lead us to a treasure chest right away."

Angela is angry that I didn't tell her from the start.

"How can you know? Have you entered this dungeon before?"

"No. it's my first time here."

"Then why don't we just enter this one and explore the rest of the dungeon?"

"The monster is stronger than orc. And the area is too narrow to use powerful magic. The girls need to be at least Intermediate level mage so they can damage them by using small magic. And your magic control is too weak despite being the strongest here. If you use the same magic that you used on the way to this dungeon, you will end up hurting us. SO our goal today is to get that treasure from the hole at the end of this floor, kill the monster that guard it, and leave. We can explore later once we're stronger and more prepared. After all there's a lot more undiscovered treasure chests over there."

"And how do you know that?"

"Enough, Ellen. Like I said before, don't use your common sense on him. Just get used to it."

Angela told Ellen to stop asking too many questions. I guess she's also irritated to hear so many questions.

"In any case, it's good that you're joining us in this exploration. It means when we inform the guild about it, they won't think that we're lying just because we're just a C-rank hunter party. Although Sophie is a D-rank and Victoria is E."

"So you're using me?"

"Yes. You can also explore this dungeon later with your S-rank hunter friend you have. Who knows if you can get a legendary magic tool from here?"

"…fine. So we will climb the hole after we reach the end of this floor?"

"Yeah. I'll enter it first and let you climb on Victoria."

"Climb on Victoria? What the hell are you using a girl for?"

Oh shit. I forgot that she's extremely hostile especially against men who treat women lightly. Let's show her that Victoria is not human.

"Victoria. Please."

"Okay."

Victoria turned into a black blob of slime and dropped just in front of Ellen.

"Nice to meet you, Ellen. I'm Victoria. A black slime. And I'm Roy's summon. I can transform myself into anything. That's what he meant by climbing on me later. I'll just turn myself into a rope or a ladder."

"What?! You're a summoned monster?"

"Yes, I am."

After many times she irritate me with her hostility against me, it's refreshing to see her surprised expression on the way here. And it's way more interesting when she realize that Victoria is a slime.

"Eh? She's a slime? Then it can be explained how she can stuck herself on the wall and ceiling. But what about Roy? And how strong is he to be able to command a slime with intellect that can communicate with human? Then what about how he realize the treasure chests' location? And about…"

Ellen keep mumbling to herself. She has too many questions to ask. Why can't she be a little bit like Luna? Today is her first time joining our party and she doesn't have much to ask.

I turned my eyes at Lina who smiled at me.

Well, she's at the level of worshipping me. Whatever I do or say is normal for her.

All I did was just praised her a few times and she already worship me? She's not right in the head. But her ability as a maid and her plant type monster is both exceptional.

Let's hope she won't make a cult about it.

"Since Ellen is busy mumbling to herself, let's continue our march. All of you other than Lina already experienced battling orcs so I'll leave the monsters in this floor to you."

"Roy, what about the monster that's guarding the treasure chest?"

"That's a Cyclops. It's bigger and stronger than orc. But with how narrow the area it's in, it doesn't have much space to move. I can take care of it easily."

And so, we continue deeper to the dungeon.
