01x05 - A Perfect Dungeon Debut

[bunniefuu]

I'm all fired up!

Our main objective…

Dungeon Master!

What was that?

Oh, no!

A horde of goblins is charging toward us!

They were quiet up until yesterday!

Are these guys taking advantage

of the opportunity to attack us?

The skill we acquired

from the Tyrant Saber Tiger.

Fran?

Sonic Wave!

I'll defeat them all!

That girl Flan…

Even after I told her

not to charge into the dungeon on her own.

We should hurry.

Or else, she'll get all the loot.

Fran, you mustn't overexert yourself

like you did last time.

I know.

I'll clear the dungeon

without overdoing it.

You make it sound so easy.

Well, in any case,

if the worst does happen,

we can get out of here

using the Teleportation Feather

we bought with gold.

I'll go as far as I can.

All right!

There they are.

Parallel Thought!

We'll take the crystals

from the goblins with useful skills.

Take down the others

or leave them for the other guys.

Got it?

Roger.

Two goblins with crystals ahead.

Leaving bodies without crystals

will raise suspicion,

so let's put them

in the Dimensional Storage for now.

Leave the incoming three for the others.

Roger!

The next one has a crystal!

Ignore…

Crystal…

Fran, your crystal-obtaining skills

have improved.

I've gotten used to taking care

of goblins.

You're amazing!

I was praised!

Fran!

Ignore.

Crystal!

Ignore.

Crystal!

There's more than I thought.

They just keep coming.

Are those all goblins

without crystals or skills we need?

Let's use a Double Chant

with Parallel Thought and Fire Javelin!

Teacher's Parallel Thought is amazing!

My Parallel Thought is steadily improving.

I had Fran use this skill once…

What's the matter, Fran?

My head hurts! I don't like this skill!

It appears only inorganic matter like me

is able to use the skill

without adverse effects.

Teacher, this path…

There's another floor.

This place runs deep indeed.

So the boss is down there?

EPISODE 5: GOBLIN DUNGEON DEBU

Skill: Echolocation.

Sense Presence.

Vibration Detection. Heat Detection.

Two Hobgoblins detected.

Found them.

Now, lead us to the King and Queen.

Teacher,

I hear a clattering noise up ahead.

Are we finally going to face them?

The Dungeon Master?

I wonder.

-Watch out!

-Behind you!

As expected of Mr. Donadrond.

So strong…

But the little girl took out most of them.

Well, she did leave some for us.

For a goblin stampede,

I'm seeing fewer bodies than expected.

Mr. Donadrond,

just who is that little girl?

Who knows?

All I know is that she may look young,

but her Sword Technique

and Sword Art are Level 7.

That almost puts her

at the same level as an advanced expert.

That explains why the Hobgoblins

were no match for her.

Even so, she is still a child.

She could get into trouble

if she lets her guard down.

Let's hurry and catch up to her.

Bingo.

An incredible presence indeed.

So that's the Goblin King and Queen…

This happened in the Marou Plains too.

When the goblins sense intruders,

they gather around the king.

Teacher, do we attack?

No. There are too many of them.

The King and Queen are not easy opponents.

We should proceed with caution.

Got it.

First, I'll use magic to control them.

Okay.

You'll use the chance

to slay the King and Queen.

Okay. Got it.

Let's do this.

Parallel Thought. Double Chant.

Flare Blast!

Fire Javelin!

Now's your chance! Attack!

What?

What's this? Are they dead?

Well, Fran…

Teacher, you meanie…

I really wanted to fight the Goblin King.

S-Sorry…

You stole my job…

Well…

Oh, right. Where did the other goblins go?

They fled.

I guess this is what they call

scatter at one command…

Teacher, does this mean

we've completed the quest?

I'm not sure.

If that was the Dungeon Master,

there should be a bigger reaction somehow…

A door… The dungeon goes even deeper.

It would seem so.

Maybe the Dungeon Master

was neither the King nor the Queen

but someone else instead.

Dungeon Master.

I'll slay them!

Dungeon Master…

Well, at least she regained her spirit.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Don't let your guard down, Fran.

What?

I see

a lot of bugs!

Bugs?

Those are some massive ladybugs!

And a lot of them!

Appraisal!

"Army Beetle."

Their levels pose little concern.

Medic and sh**ter.

A lot of these guys hold classes too.

That means they carry lots of crystals!

We'll get a great deal from them.

I'll defeat all of them!

All right then.

Let's get them, Fran!

Given their size, I can seal

their movements with Telekinesis.

Let's k*ll them all at once!

Crystal absorb!

This is like a bonus stage!

30 MINUTES LATER

We k*lled a lot.

But it feels like we barely made a dent

in their numbers.

Hang on. What's that?

They're summoning reinforcements.

I see. So that's the culprit.

"Army Beetle Leader."

"Skill: Kin Summon…"

How about it, Fran?

-Are you satisfied?

-Yes.

Okay! That's all for the bonus stage!

Tri-expl*si*n!

The leader is mine!

Crystal absorb!

Did we gain a lot from that?

We got a bunch of crystal EXP

and you've leveled up a lot too.

Fran has risen to Level 17.

That's great!

We also acquired new skills.

Kin Summon acquired.

Wind Magic increased to Level 7.

Teacher, there's another door.

There's more to this place?

Did you feel that?

A strong mana presence!

It feels more powerful

than the boss of the Marou Plains,

the C-ranked monster, Glutton Slime King.

As long as I'm with Teacher,

we can do this.

Yes.

But we can be certain that what lies

behind this door is a formidable being.

Let's cast some buffs

to prepare ourselves.

First, All Resistance.

Fran's resistance

against abnormal statuses

has been temporarily increased.

Next,

Sensory Boost, to sharpen your senses

and enhance your reflexes.

Physical Boost

to enhance your physical strength.

My body feels lighter.

Next, Regeneration.

Fran's wounds will automatically recover

within a certain period of time.

Teacher, do you have enough mana?

I absorbed a ton from the Army Beetles,

so I'm brimming with mana right now.

Fran, if you make it back in one piece,

I'll make you my best dish!

-Your best dish?

-Yes.

It's called curry.

C-Curry!

What's that? I've never heard of it.

But it sounds like a fancy dish.

I want to eat it so badly!

Well then, you must survive.

I won't die.

Hey…

Welcome to the deepest part

of the dungeon.

Mr. Klimt.

Nell, what is it?

Will Mr. Donadrond and Fran really be able

to clear the dungeon?

It's a newly spawned dungeon.

It hasn't been occupied

by particularly powerful monsters yet.

I'm sure they'll be fine.

You're right.

So long as there are

no unforeseen circumstances.

Fran…

Darn it! The door won't open!

Are you all right, Fran? Answer me!

She seemed to have taken care

of the King and Queen.

Then behind this door is…

I'm afraid so.

That powerful mana presence

came from this guy.

But who the heck is this guy?

Is he the Dungeon Master?

In any case, let's use Appraisal.

What? A Greater Demon?

What the heck is with those stats?

He is beyond strong!

It's my first time encountering a monster

with stats over 1,000!

Extra skills and Dark Magic…

EXTRA SKILL: SKILL TAKER 6

All of them are skills we don't even know…

According to Randell,

Greater Demons have a threat level of B.

B…

A monster capable of destroying

an entire nation.

Now, now, don't tell me you're afraid.

I'm not.

You look weak.

But that doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.

You must have considerable skills

to be able to reach this far.

I'm strong.

You're a bold one.

Hey, Demon!

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and get rid of her!

What?

That's…

What? So that's the Dungeon Master?

No way, his stats are super low!

So that's the dungeon core?

I suppose so.

Hurry up and k*ll her already!

Quit nagging. You're annoying.

I'll take care of her,

so shut up and watch.

A goblin that can talk.

I understand goblins and beetles,

but can that guy really command

a B-ranked monster?

Hey, brat!

You puny human!

How dare you k*ll the elites

of our goblin empire?

I took care of them.

It's all because of you that I now have to

remake my plan to conquer the human world!

Hey.

No matter. All I have to do

is k*ll you and summon another King.

As long as I can replenish

the Goddess points of the dungeon core,

I can summon as many monsters as I want--

Shut up, you useless master!

Or I'll k*ll you!

How come this Demon never obeys me?

Your orders are useless against me.

I'll fight as I wish.

A skill that renders control null.

Now then, let's get started.

That sword is dangerous.

Five hundred MP channeled to Teacher.

Nice sword.

Oh, it's able to withstand my sword.

There's no way

he would lose to that sword!

No, that sword…

It has very high mana conductivity.

With the additional MP,

its ATK is over 1,000.

I was only able to withstand

that hit because of the 500 MP…

If not, I would have snapped just now.

Not bad blocking that hit.

Aura Blade!

Oh, my.

Now!

Wait, Fran!

That sword's skill is Shadow Back.

That b*stard…

He intentionally left himself open

to lure you into attacking him.

You seem to have a higher mastery

of sword skills than I do.

Then, how about this?

He vanished…

What?

Fran!

Die! Parallel Thought!

Fran!

Curses!

Fire Wall!

Telekinesis! Greater Heal!

You can use advanced recovery magic too?

Interesting.

Teacher…

It's all right, Fran. Don't worry.

I recovered them right away.

Can you feel them again?

A little.

It stings a little, but I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I was too careless.

No. That wasn't due to your carelessness.

He appeared from your blind spots.

Is that some sort of skill?

I don't fully understand what's going on,

but you're pretty good to be able

to defend yourself from there.

Fran, behind you!

I'm going to keep coming at you.

So quick to respond?

This is more like it!

No matter how I see it, he disappeared.

Is it Teleportation?

But he didn't possess a skill

like that when I checked.

Is it magic, then?

Darkness Magic or Dark Magic?

The mana isn't coming from the air

but from the ground.

Dark… Darkness… Ground…

I've got it!

Fran, it's the shadow!

That guy is coming from your shadow!

You can target him from here, right?

Yes!

Skill: Vibration Fang

and Demonic Poisonous Fang!

Sonic Wave!

Take that! Now…

Dark Magic.

Darkness Blaster!

What's this? Poison?

You managed to break through

my abnormal status resistance

and poisoned me?

But it's too weak.

It didn't work!

Even Demonic Poisonous Fang,

an enhanced version of the Poisonous Fang

we acquired from the Doppel Snake,

didn't do anything to him!

Is that all you've got?

The typical skill set we use to take down

opponents is ineffective against him!

Teacher, what do we do?

To be completely honest, things are

not looking good for us right now.

Let's use the Teleportation Feather

to get out of here

while he is underestimating us.

But I have to win!

I have to win…

And taste that curry!

You've got spirit, all right.

But that's far from enough.

This amount of damage

barely makes me feel anything.

Come on. Put more force into it!

Your speed and sword skills

are better than mine.

I acknowledge that.

In this case, I'll take away

those sword skills of yours.

Be careful, Fran!

Something is coming!

Mana presence…

What was that?

I have no idea what just happened!

Extra Skill: Skill Taker.

A skill that allows me to take and claim

desired skills for my own.

I've taken your sword skills.

That means you've lost

the ability to fight against me.

All that awaits you is death.
