YM778.TV Chapter 507
The moment Berzac appeared here. For 70% of the explorers here, today will be their last expedition.
Assuming, of course, that he ran away as soon as he saw Bezac.
If we were to fight back, everyone would be together on the final expedition.
‘These bastards… aren’t they worth their lives?’
The more I look, the more I don’t understand.
Time is passing with Belzac summoned, but even in the midst of this, more people are arriving.
“…… I guess there were more people.”
A group of 10 explorers who arrived with the whole team in disrepair, perhaps stepping on traps amicably and paving the way.
This was the first thing they checked when they saw the explorers.
“The portal! Is the portal open?”
“The ninth dreadlord has been slain and Berzak has not been summoned!”
Are they really crazy?
To believe in that possibility alone and come here instead of the second floor.
Even if you assume that the original ones have been waiting here since Berzac was summoned, aren’t they like that?
As I burst out laughing, Amelia came over to the side.
“……What are you going to do with Yandel?”
“I don’t know. Maybe I underestimated the explorers’ desires too much.”
“I looked down on humans, not explorers. There were always people like this in any place and at any time.”
These days, when I talk to Amelia, it feels like I’m talking to a sage.
However, this time it didn’t really help.
So what? If you have made a prediction, please give me advice in advance.
“Whoa…”
Let’s calm down.
It’s a troublesome situation, but it’s not right to take out your anger on your colleagues.
It is wise to come up with a solution at that time.
‘The biggest problem is that it’s difficult to open the portal when there are so many people…’ Once
the portal opens, it’s clear that these guys will also take a free ride and suck the honey.
That’s how much sweet water I can eat will be reduced.
‘Above all, rumors will spread.’
If the number of people allowed to enter the portal is limited, even if we were the only ones allowed to enter, the story of our discovery of the hidden area would spread throughout the city.
From the next exploration, there will be a lot of troublesome things like tailing and checks coming in. For me, who wanted to drink sweet water as quietly as possible, this is an unwelcome development.
But…
“The Watcher of the Sea Abyss…! Bezac! That monster has arrived…!”
As a result, it is no longer possible to use the method of creating a solution by watching over time.
That’s right, the moment you see that, it’s certain that Berzak will appear.
“Ugh! Go away!”
“Don’t push!”
“Aaaaaaa!”
As soon as the Watcher of the Abyss was created among a group of explorers, the crucible of chaos unfolded.
Do you know that aggro is attracted to the guy you kill?
The explorers were busy running away from monsters that were only 9th grade, and the watcher of the abyss was afraid to hit the top explorers with flat hits.
Take-!
Oh, by the way, the flat hit was spitting.
Venom that shoots out of the eyeballs like a water gun.
“Aaaah! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”
I didn’t even look at it, it was ridiculous.
What kind of comedy is this, that explorers on the 6th floor or higher are in trouble with a 9th grade monster and fall into a state of panic?
It was the time when I was watching the scene from a few steps away.
Poo-!
An explorer got hit in the eye, and the Watcher of the Abyss was hit by a wave of his hand in panic.
and immediately.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The Watcher of the Abyss turned into a halo of light and disappeared.
“…….”
“…….”
A heavy silence began as the chaos ended.
“Ah ah… no……”
The explorer who realized what it meant to kill the Watcher of the Abyss began to tremble and at the same time the situation entered a new phase.
“Oh, go somewhere else now!”
The cry of an explorer who did not know who did it.
From this point on, explorers hurriedly began to accuse the explorers.
“If you’re here, he’s coming! Run to the second floor!”
“Ha, but… I can’t even go up to the second floor by myself…”
“Then why did you kill that!”
Ahh, are all the real explorers really all psychopaths?
“Stop it.”
I, who couldn’t see it, intervened in the situation.
“Baron Yandel…?”
“…Baron! If the author exists, we will all die! We must get him out!”
It wasn’t even funny logic.
What was it like not to die without him?
As long as the Watcher of the Abyss saw it, it was an established fact that Berzak would eventually come here.
Anyway, looking at it, I am convinced.
I don’t think they’ll go to the second floor just because they wait here longer.
Yeah so…
“I told you to stop.”
“but-!”
“From now on, I will open the portal.”
This time, as expected, Plan B.
“……!”
As soon as he said that and moved on, the explorers clung to the wall and gave way.
The same goes for the explorers next to the tombstone.
“Everyone stay out.”
“…yes? Ah yes! One thing! Don’t disturb me, everyone come out!”
I was shocked to hear that I would open the portal, but I only said a short word, and the room where the tombstone was was neatly emptied.
“Can you make this side of Versil invisible?
Soon, Versil used her magic to set up a barrier so that she couldn’t see inside from the other side.
Okay then, the minimum privacy was maintained.
As I was about to give it a go, Amelia spoke to me.
“Is Yandel okay?”
“Isn’t there any other way. I can’t just let it all die.”
“If you wait longer, you might be able to go up to the second floor? No matter how reckless you are, you know that your life is precious.”
Well, it’s not like I didn’t think about it…
“I don’t think they’re going to give up on this place because of that.”
“…You’re unexpectedly calm.”
Well… it’s actually close to resignation.
If this method really opens the portal and imagines that countless free riders follow us, it makes me sick to my stomach and gives me a headache.
But…
“If this method is wrong, we will eventually have to escape to the second floor to avoid Bezac. It’s dangerous to delay here any longer.”
Soon after, when I told him the real reason for making this decision, Amelia was convinced and said nothing.
Therefore, I approached the tombstone with the pieces I received from the third floor in my hands.
Then he stopped in front and placed a new order.
“Cast the binding magic on the remaining six people except for Versil.”
“yes?”
“If the portal is really open, there is a high possibility that the public value will come in.”
“ah……!”
Convinced, Bersil used the binding magic again without a word. After all, wizards don’t need experience points.
“That’s Okay.”
Huh… that’s right.
‘Please go through.’
He swallowed a gulp and put his hand on the tombstone.
and that moment.
Woo woo woo woo-!
The air swirled around the tombstone, and brilliant five-colored lights burst out.
“For the first time, a portal to a hidden area has been opened. EXP +99」
That’s right.
***
Portal opened.
A portal that leads to an unknown space where no one has ever set foot in a long history.
Maybe because of that, I have a lot of thoughts when I open it.
However, I decided to move as I thought in advance.
“Use Versil binding magic again.”
“how?”
“I, Erwen Bersil, and you are Team 1, and the rest are Team 2. If the portal closes after we enter, Team 2 must immediately go up to the second floor. ”
“Don’t worry. They’ll come to their senses when they see the portal close. Convince them and go to the second floor together and you’ll be safe.”
“Yeah…… Even if you follow me and start somewhere else, you have to do well. Okay?”
“I’ll try my best.”
Yes, then the plan in case is enough…
“Then I’ll go in first.”
Soon, he carefully pushed himself into the portal.
Flash-!
As the strong light spread over my eyelids, I lost my sight for a moment, and soon my vision was restored along with the feeling of my body floating.
「You have entered the archives on the 1st basement level.」
「This is the first achievement you have achieved.」
「The great footprints you left behind will be engraved on the honor stone and recorded forever.」
Riding a portal is familiar, so balance naturally landing on the floor.
coo-!
He raised his shield to protect his upper body and quickly looked around.
The type of floor tile is rock.
Visibility seems to be about 100m, but beyond that, nothing looks special.
Only the rugged rocky terrain stretched out.
And…….
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Is this the sound of waves…?
‘For now, it seems that there are no monsters.’
When I thought that far, a light burst from the top of my head and my colleagues followed and entered.
“……!”
“Wow wow…!”
First of all, the members of Team 1, Erwen and Versil.
And…
“Oohhhhh!”
From Einar screaming, to Auyen Misha Amelia.
‘…Fortunately, the portal didn’t close.’
That moment when I was relieved thinking about that.
I belatedly realized one thing.
“……There is no exit.”
As if entering the rift, the portal that opened for a while was closing again after spitting out only people.
***
It’s just a one-way street, and there’s no way to go back to the original place.
I was somewhat ominous about this, but I decided to think positively.
‘…Nothing has changed.’
Anyway, the first floor is closed on the 7th.
Of course, after that time, it becomes impossible to go up.
‘The question is when will this place close…’
This is the kind of information we need to find out through future exploration.
Having said that, I approached Amelia.
“What was it like the last time Emily came in?”
“It was the same. The only difference was the color of the portal. It was no different from other portals. If the barrier Gowland created disappears soon, other explorers will start coming down.”
Hmm, that’s right…….
“Everyone, be vigilant and check the current status. If anything has changed, be sure to tell me, even if it’s a small thing!”
“Bjorn! My body is a bit weird!”
“It’s strange? Where are you going?”
“Oh, my face is hot and my heart is beating wildly!”
……That’s because you’re excited.
Anyway, as I was checking the status of the members and checking if there were any characteristics of this field, explorers started pouring down from above.
“Ooh! A new layer! It’s a new layer…!”
“Hahahaha! My name will be recorded in history!”
Some of them looked like they had a lot of screws missing, but there were also a lot of normal guys.
“Everyone on alert…! Don’t be vigilant because you don’t know what’s going to happen!”
As soon as they entered, they gathered together with their colleagues to prepare.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but for some reason, everyone gathered around us at an appropriate distance.
Did they think it was safe to be next to us?
Unknown, but unexpectedly, the entrance of the explorer, which had been pouring like rain, ended quickly.
And…….
“What is it! Why isn’t he coming in?”
“Ah, Mr. Zelton hasn’t come yet…”
“Curdo! Kurdo-sama hasn’t come yet either!”
One piece of information has been added.
Unlike the portals connected to other levels, this time The kite portal closes when certain conditions are met.
If so, what is that condition?
‘I don’t think there is a time limit…
I hurriedly counted the number of people.
Let’s see, the number of people who have entered so far is one or two. Three, four, five, six…
‘Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty…’
Yes, the portal closes when there are 60 people.
