“So, I’m going to check the dungeon where I found the Crab People,” I said.

“You’re going to a dungeon? Can I come to?” Angela asked.

“I’d like that if possible. But the gas inside that dungeon is poisonous. So other than air mages, I don’t think anyone should be able to enter it,” I said.

“Then what about those Crab People? Do they have immunity toward that type of gas?” Kayla asked.

“That... is a good question. Though I can’t ask them since it’s their common sense to be able to live there since birth. So I don’t think they can give us any answer,” I said.

Those Crab People can live in a place filled with poisonous gas. And they eat from the corpses of the monsters and fishes that fell to that dungeon. It’s also possible that those corpses have been affected by the poisonous gas and became more poisonous to consume.

But the Crab People are fine. Which mean that they are highly likely to have resistance against poison. Or at least the poison of the gas inside the dungeon.

If I can tell what kind of effect that poisonous gas will bring, and I use air magic to produce that gas, I would have another method of attack.

.....

Maybe I should check on it as well. Should I risk my life by inhaling those gas?

I think I will. Fire mages have more resistance toward fire magic. Lightning mages have more resistance toward lightning magic. So it’s natural to think that air mages have more resistance toward poisonous gas.

Well, if I feel that it was too much for me, I will use air magic to neutralize the poison. I hope it’s possible to do that.

“Anyway, I’ll be going there only with Victoria. Since they just defeated the boss monster, it should be a while until it respawn again. So I will explore the dungeon and hope that I can find some treasures,” I said.

After saying my farewell, I left. I move to somewhere where no one was. Because I’m afraid that the gas from the dungeon will spread once I open the portal.

Yesterday, when I opened a portal to Monsters Village, it’s still fine because I used air magic to contain the gas from the dungeon to not get close to us. Then when no one noticed, I used air magic to neutralize the poisonous gas inside the Crab People. So they are safe to interact with other monsters.

But now, since I’m here and not in that dungeon, I have to be away from other people.

I opened a portal to the dungeon, then I cast air magic to not let the poisonous gas to enter this place. I think some of them were leaking, but it should be fine since it’s not much.

Then I entered the portal and quickly close it. From here, the only reason I opened a portal should only be when I’m leaving. So I can’t get the others or even grab a weapon. But with Victoria here, I don’t need other weapons.

I’m inside the room where the Crab People fought the spider yesterday. And I can see a path going deeper. Is this place not the boss room?

I explored the dungeon and see a pond. I guess that’s where the Crab People got their source of water. But is it fine to drink?

I continued walking through the dungeon. It’s much bigger than I expected it to be.

Since I’ve seen the entrance, where I couldn’t even see the wall from where I fell, I knew that it’s big. But I still underestimate how big the dungeon is.

Then I see a path blocked by bones of monsters. If I have to guess, I think beyond that path is where the Crab People are forbidden to enter. So beyond that blockade, there should still be monsters. And they might be stronger or more troublesome than the spider from yesterday. That’s why they blocked the path to not let anyone enter.

For now, I will explore other place first before entering that path.

And as I expected, there are no monsters there. There were some treasure chests. But they were already empty. The Crab People must have took them away. But I didn’t see anything about the thing they found. So I guess the items inside must have been used or destroyed. Because it’s probably happened a long time ago. Maybe long before Crabbe was born.

Seeing that I couldn’t find anything, it’s time to go through the blocked path.

I just punched through the blockade and walked casually inside. And soon enough, I can see monsters with my Divine Vision.

“Well, it’s time to fight, I guess.”

Since I can see monsters now, it’s best to just quickly defeat them. So I started running.

The monsters are mostly spiders. Like the spider that the Crab People defeated yesterday.

But while the Crab People had trouble fighting one, I easily defeated three of them with one slash. This tells how much the difference in strength is between the Crab People and me.

But they can use water magic. And they have strong defense compared to other monsters. And maybe underwater, they are as strong as Spot and his children. I can only find out about it after we fight. But when will we fight, I don’t know yet. I’ll just wait until Shelia or Graham contacted me.

As I continued exploring the dungeon and defeating monsters, I finally found a treasure chest. So I move toward the chest and defeated a slightly bigger spider than before who was protecting the chest.

I opened the chest to see...

“Leaves? There are leaves inside the chest?” I said curiously.

Why would there be leaves inside a chest? Is this perhaps consumable items?

“Well, let’s appraise it later,” I said while putting them in my pocket.

And so, I continued my exploration. I defeated all the monsters.

Unsurprisingly, the hardest monsters here are not the giant spiders. But the small spiders. They were just too many. And it was too annoying since they are so small.

There were no more treasure other than those leaves. So I entered the last room to face the Dungeon Boss.

Another spider. It’s just 2 meters tall though. But this one has thick exoskeleton.

...Which got destroyed by just one punch filled with Aura. And it died. So I conquered the dungeon in less than a day.

I returned back to Cassau and let someone appraise those leaves I found. There were ten of them.

A few days later, I still got no contact from my familiars in the village. But I got the appraisal result of those ten leaves from Jeremy.

“I used one of them to experiment, so I can only return the other nine. I don’t have the name for them yet. Those leaves are not really came from any kind of plants. I asked Lina to call the Elf Queen to help me with the appraisal, but she said that it’s not a plant. It’s more of a food,” Jeremy said.

“So it’s some kind of foods? What a weird food,” I said.

“They are only effective when they are being chewed. When they are swallowed, they are useless. The effect is that when you chew it while closing your mouth, you can breathe anywhere. Including underwater. And you won’t get affected by poisonous gas as long as you breathe only from your mouth with the leaf inside your mouth.”

Oh, so they are useful for diving. I don’t need them. But maybe I can give them to Carmen and other water mages so the can fight underwater.

The reason why I didn’t think about them when discussing about underwater battle was because of that. Even if they are water mage, their fight underwater will be limited by how long they can hold their breath.

Or maybe they can breathe underwater already by using water magic? I don’t know. I never asked.

So I guess giving it to them will be useless. I think giving them to Shelia or other monsters will be more useful.

Right. I’ll do just that then. Though I will tell them to hold the use of the leaves until they are in an important battle against the cult. Because if I don’t tell them, they will just use it to watch the fight between me and Crabbe.

Maybe I’ll just give them later after the fight. That would be fine.

And a few days later, I finally got a message from Graham using telepathy. He said that Crabbe is ready to fight and is already waiting for me in the sea near the village.

“Alright. I will come tomorrow,” I said.

I wonder how strong they will be underwater? I also never received information about them from Graham and Shelia about their lives there. And if they fought the Crab People while they are adapting to the lives outside the dungeon.

I can’t wait to see how good they are in an underwater fight.
